Chapter 269 Shadow Ghost Body
"It seems that they like you very much..." Mu You said to the little girl, with some surprise flashing across his face.
You must know that cats and raccoons are indifferent to ordinary humans, even Xiaoya, they just don't resist, and they don't take the initiative to get close.
However, facing this girl at this time, Maolizi actually took the initiative to act like a baby to her. For animals, this is already an expression of complete trust and even love!
Is this girl's heart so pure?
The girl turned her head and looked at Mu You when she heard the words. She didn't speak, but narrowed her eyes into crescent moons, and showed him a very healing smile.
"Little girl, where are your parents...huh?"
Mu You saw that there were no other adults around her, and just wanted to ask where her guardian was.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong throbbing from something in the storage ring—the shadow ghost box!
Mu You was surprised.
Shadow Ghost has fallen into a deep sleep in the sealed box since he was seriously injured at the bottom of the Devil Sea and devoured the soul of the pirate ghost.
There was no further movement after that, and Mu You thought for a while whether it was strangled to death, or died of serious injuries.
Unexpectedly, the shadow ghost suddenly woke up today, and sent a warning signal to it.
"What happened?"
Mu You looked in the direction of the shadow ghost warning, and there was a group of tourists visiting in front of the mandrake soundproof house.
Mu You glanced around among the group of tourists, and soon found two people acting suspiciously.
Unlike normal tourists who gathered in front of the glass house and were busy taking pictures, these two people wandered a little behind the crowd, and their eyes were not focused on the Mandela thatched house in front of them, but wandered around aimlessly. When the line of sight occasionally sweeps over the position where Mu You is, it will instinctively skip over.
He, the store manager, is standing next to the cat nest in the center of the venue, and as the only person sitting in the audience, he is still very conspicuous. When most people look around, they will subconsciously take a look at him. The behavior is just the opposite, and it is very likely that there is a ghost in his heart.
"Hiss!"
"Woo—"
At the same time, there were two breaths from the side, and Mu You turned to look, only to find that the girl in kimono had left.
Mu You didn't have time to pay attention to the girl's affairs, because at this moment the two cats and raccoons, their hairs all standing up, were both looking in the direction of the tourists in the distance, uttering threatening voices from their mouths.
Even Maolizi behaved like this... Now Mu You is more sure that there is something wrong with those two people.
But he didn't startle the snake.
Mu You switched back to the game calmly, took out the scout beetle, and quietly placed it on the ground.
The beetle got into the grass and quickly moved towards the crowd over there.
After a while, Mu You heard the sound from there.
After filtering out all kinds of noisy voices, Mu You distinguished the conversation between the two people.
"The target's reaction disappeared again..."
"Damn, it's so hard to find a real girl, I even regret taking this job..."
"Don't complain...as long as we can do this, we will have nothing to worry about in the future..."
…
The voice is intermittent, but the general meaning can still be distinguished.
"Target?"
Mu You frowned. What do these two people mean by the so-called 'target'? Shadow Ghost?
The shadow ghost suddenly became manic for a while, but he quickly calmed down again. This is in line with what the two of them said about 'the target reaction disappeared again'.
The shadow ghost is sealed in a box, and the box is sealed in a ring. Under multiple barriers, how do these two people perceive where the shadow ghost is?
To say that they came to the pet store to steal animals, this is not quite like it. Every animal in the park is stared at by many tourists, and there is no room to start.
Especially the Mandrake house over there was surrounded by a large number of fans from the beginning to the end. If they dared to steal or hurt the Mandrake, they would be torn apart by those mother fans on the spot without his hand.
Sure enough, the next sound came from the beetle.
"MD, this pet shop is really making money! If we can steal these animals, it will be enough for us to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime!"
"I heard the news on the forum before. It seems that only the store manager is at home at night. This person is said to be a mid-level player. He is probably at the 12th or 3rd level. If the two of us work together, we will definitely be able to win it. Why? So, do you want to come over to vote at night?"
When one of the men was speaking, he subconsciously glanced towards Mu You, perhaps seeing that Mu You was looking this way, and turned away hastily.
"Don't mess around! This store has a background in the Bureau of Abnormalities, and the owner of the store is said to be related to people from the Dragon Group. If you want to die, don't pull me!"
"I'll just say..."
"However, after finishing the ticket at hand, maybe we can come and try to make a wave before we go abroad. If it can be done, it will be released in the future. If it can't be done, there is no loss..." After stopping the person just now, after all, he still stayed behind. Huatou.
"what about now?"
"Leave first, staying here is a waste of time..."
"Don't go around anymore? I still want to experience the chocobo..."
"What a ghost, it costs 500 yuan a time, and you see how many people are queuing up there? Even if you buy a ticket, it won't be your turn, unless you wait for the next show to buy a ticket and enter the venue, and then come to the queue as soon as possible. "
"That's right, **** it, so these capitalists are really black! They cheat the poor people in different ways! They will definitely get them all if they have a chance!"
"Yes, let him go bankrupt!"
…
"Is it that dark?"
Mu You looked at the two who left cursing in front of him, and couldn't help muttering.
These two people are at the eleventh level and the other at the twelfth level, and their levels and attributes are relatively average.
As soon as they went out, Mu You immediately arranged for the shadow war eagle to follow them quietly.
After learning to use one mind for two purposes, he can now allocate a small part of his mind to monitor the Warhawk's perspective, while the body can do its own thing as usual.
After controlling the war eagle to follow, Mu You sent Lin Xue a message.
"Help me check the two men who just left."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Lin Xue replied.
"Somewhat suspicious."
"good."
Lin Xue started to retrieve tourist information from the front desk.
Because the software of the pet shop is developed by the state and is connected to the National Identity Reserve Bureau, in this era of very transparent information, such basic information can be easily found.
"I found them. One of them is Yu Yinian and the other is Jin Yuan. They are both from City B. They both have a history of theft. They have no influence. The organization they belonged to was called the 'Tough Guys Alliance', a small organization that is not popular. Most of the members are taking orders on the black market of the forum, doing some stealthy activities, and have been warned many times by the official investigation of City B, and have now disbanded."
"Two idle people..."
Mu You nodded, and combined with the meaning of their conversation just now, the errands that these two people did, there is a "gold master" or something like that behind them, they were just thrown out to work.
If it was a normal situation, Mu You had already notified Zhang Yang at this time. After all, not to mention the 'target' they were looking for, just their blatant preparation to steal the magical animals in the shop is worth filing a case for investigation.
However, this matter happened to involve the shadow ghost. This matter is very important. Mu You can only investigate privately first, at least to confirm the relationship between these two people and the shadow ghost.
When he came back to his senses, Mu You remembered the girl in kimono just now, and got up to search for it.
As a result, I scanned around and looked at all the people in the audience, but couldn't find any similar figures.
"Have you already left?"
Mu You thought, walked out of the backpack entrance all the way, returned to the pet shop, and walked to the front desk where Lin Xue was.
"Did a little girl come out just now?"
"What kind of little girl?" Lin Xue asked.
"About seven or eight years old, wearing a kimono, easy to identify." Mu You said.
"Wearing a kimono?"
Lin Xue frowned and shook her head: "No."
"Are you sure?" Mu You asked.
"There are only three little girls under the age of ten who have entered the venue today. Take a look, which one is it?" Lin Xue directly screened the list of those who entered the venue today, and sent it to Muyou's mobile phone software backend.
Mu You looked at the photos and information of the three tourists, and it turned out that none of them were the girl just now.
"Strange, could it be the skin?"
There is another possibility in this situation, that is, the kimono girl is just a skin, and after disappearing just now, it switched back to its original appearance, so Mu You didn't recognize it.
Lin Xue called up the monitor on the computer.
But after looking at it for a while, she suddenly raised her head to look at Mu You, her face became a little weird.
"What's wrong?" Mu You saw that her expression was strange.
"You... see for yourself." Lin Xue simply turned the screen to him.
Mu You looked at the surveillance screen, but after watching it for a while, his own eyes widened, quite inconceivable.
During the surveillance, he had been taking a nap in front of the cat's nest just now, and the two cats and raccoons were also sleeping peacefully.
Until a certain moment, he and the two cats suddenly woke up at the same time, looking in a certain direction vigilantly.
This is when he noticed the shadow ghost's movement and found those two suspicious people.
But the problem is that during this process, the little girl in the kimono never appeared, there was no dialogue, and there was no scene where the girl caressed the cat and raccoon, as if everything he experienced was just an illusion.
"this…"
Looking at the surveillance video, Mu You felt his hairs stand on end, what the hell? Did he encounter a supernatural event?
Or is it just a dream because I didn't rest last night and was too sleepy?
Thinking about it carefully, when he saw the little girl just now, he really felt a little dazed, as if only he and the girl were left around, and there were no other tourists, but he didn't feel wrong at that time. is dreaming.
For a while, Mu You couldn't tell whether it was a dream or not. Unfortunately, Vivienne wasn't with him just now, so no one could confirm it for him.
After watching the surveillance several times, Mu You still couldn't see anything suspicious, so he had to let the matter go.
Looking at the phone, the 'welcome party' in the game has ended, and his learning progress of 'shifting shape' has only increased by 1%...
His talent for time and space is 10 points. After taking a high-level magic class normally, he should be able to increase his progress by about 8%, but now it is only one-eighth. It can be seen that this so-called master of time and space has never taken a few minutes of serious lessons. , Patronizing and interacting with fans.
Mu You exhaled, no matter what, he finally started the magic, and left the rest to Jing Mo Niang.
After the welcome meeting, Mu You waited until 12:00 noon, and went to the teaching building to attend another magic class—low-level wind magic, flying spell.
This is also the only one of the seven kinds of magic taught this week that he is interested in learning. Needless to say, the effect is that after learning it, he can freely control the magic broom to fly into the sky. It is a basic spell that any wizard must learn.
…
At night, all the tourists today were sent away. After the shop closed, Mu You switched his perspective to Zhanying.
At the end of the day, he never let go of his surveillance of those two suspicious persons.
After the two left in the morning, Zhan Ying followed them all the way to a hotel in the city, which seemed to be their landing place.
Then Zhanying kept waiting near the hotel.
After waiting until ten o'clock in the evening, these two people finally showed up again!
The two walked out of the hotel wearing invisibility cloaks. They probably wanted to avoid surveillance, but unfortunately, they were clearly seen from the perspective of the war eagle.
The two of them seemed to have a clear goal this time, and they rushed to a certain direction in the south of the city at full speed as soon as they went out.
Mu You guessed that these two people should have found the location of their 'target', and immediately packed up their things and went out, activated the stealth card, and chased in the direction of the two of them.
It is cloudy tonight, the night sky is covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, and no stars or moon can be seen, but this is also convenient for him to move.
Under the high attribute boost of the vampire skin, Mu You tracked the two for more than three hours before finally arriving at their destination.
To Mu You's surprise, the two of them actually came near an unfinished building in the southern suburbs of K City.
The land here was acquired by a real estate developer last year, planning to develop a new community here. As a result, after the public beta test, a large number of space equipment flooded into the earth, the land and housing prices plummeted, and the construction plan here was also forced to stop, resulting in clusters of unfinished buildings here.
"What are these two people doing here? Is their 'target' here?"
Mu You couldn't figure out the purpose of these two people for a while, he was going to find an opportunity to take them down directly, and asked him to clarify the situation first.
After confirming that the destination of the two is here, Mu You accelerated with all his strength, and arrived first, and quickly rushed to the front of the two, and lay in ambush in front of one of the dark alleys.
With the chain claws and storage bottle in hand, he cast a silent spell on the spot, ready to implement the arrest plan.
After the two rushed into the group of unfinished buildings, Zhanying was blocked from view, but they were already very close to Mu You.
Mu You listened attentively for a while, and soon confirmed the sound of the two people's footsteps.
But to Mu You's surprise, there was a third footstep at the scene!
It was the sound of clogs continuously stepping on the cement slabs, which was particularly loud in this empty and abandoned building complex.
Accompanied by the clogs, there was a panting sound. One person was struggling to escape in front, it seemed that he was running extremely clumsily due to inconvenient movement, but the two chasing footsteps behind seemed so calm and calm, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly closing.
Until a certain moment, Mu You heard a child's exclamation from a distance, but the exclamation stopped abruptly, as if his mouth was covered.
Ten seconds later, the two footsteps sounded again, and they approached Mu You quickly.
…
"Damn, finally got it! This kid is so slippery!"
"Do you want to hand it in directly? Do you want to take it away for research, I feel that this child has a big secret!"
"Study a fart, turn around and hand in the task quickly, this little girl is too evil, let's use money to do things, more things are worse than less things..."
"Okay, who's in touch?"
"Let me come... go back first and then talk..."
…
The two of them ran through the abandoned buildings, but what no one noticed was that just as they passed a certain dark alley, a claw came out of the darkness without a sound. He came out, accurately hooked the young man in the rear, and suddenly pulled him into the depths of the alley.
"Da Yuan?"
While the man in front was running, he suddenly felt the eerie silence behind him. Looking back, he found that his companion behind him had disappeared without a trace, and the 'target' they had just captured was gone along with him.
"Depend on!"
The man was startled and realized something. Could there be someone else hiding around here?
And at this moment, in the dark alley ahead, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.
"who?"
Cold sweat broke out on the man's head, and he raised his wand as if facing an enemy, aiming at the source of the sound. He could still recognize the footsteps, it was definitely not the footsteps of his companions.
While he was hesitating whether to preemptively strike, the footsteps had already reached the entrance of the alley. Through some neon lights coming from afar, the man could vaguely see a man walking out of the alley, holding a birdcage in his hand.
The moment the man saw the birdcage, he suddenly felt a trance, and he seemed to be lost, and walked into the alley in a daze.
…
When the man woke up again, he was horrified to find that he was already in a strange space.
Here seems to be the inside of a wine bottle that has been magnified hundreds of times, and his companion Dayuan is beside him, but at this time, both of them are entangled by a layer of foot-binding grass growing on the ground, unable to move at all.
And in front of the two, stood a man who looked like a vampire, with a crow on his shoulder, and another birdcage in his hand.
He also recognizes the bird in the cage: the wicked bird, a magical bird that can control the consciousness of creatures with its eyes.
And as far as he knows, there is only one place within K city that has this kind of bird, and that is the Trolly Pet Store, which is currently very popular on the Internet!
"Are you the manager of that pet shop?" The man was surprised.
The two looked at each other, and instinctively panicked.
This person has a background in the Bureau of Abnormalities! And people with unclean identities like them, the last thing they want to deal with is an official organization like the Dissonance Bureau.
As a result, they had just obtained the 'target', and they turned around and fell into the hands of the official staff by coincidence. This made the two of them feel agitated: Could it be that the mission they took was discovered by the Bureau of Dissonance long ago? At this time, send someone here to fish and enforce the law?
Facing the anxiety of the two, Mu You ignored them and untied the rope from the sack in his hand.
The sack contained what the two called their 'target', and he intercepted it.
Open the pocket and take a look.
As expected, the one who passed out in the bag was indeed the little girl in the kimono during the day.
Mu You breathed out, which at least showed that what he experienced in the morning was not his fantasy.
At the same time, when the two men were captured just now, he felt the throbbing of the shadow ghost again.
But this time Mu You felt clearly that Yinggui did show anger towards these two men, but it was not because of any connection between these two men and Yinggui, but because they wanted to hurt this little girl. Let the shadow ghost become abnormal.
That is to say, it is the girl in the bag who is really connected with Shadow Ghost!
"Could it be that she is the shadow ghost's body?"
Mu You immediately thought of this possibility, and hurriedly gathered a light technique in his hand, and shone it into the bag.
Is it the shadow ghost's body? There is one of the easiest ways to identify it, and that is to see if they have shadows.
Unfortunately, the girl showed a normal shadow under the light, and she is not the owner of this shadow ghost.
