Chapter 365 Space Rift Opens
"A shadow ghost has been found at No. 5-23, Shangjing District. Please help the nearby team members immediately!"
Mu You looked at the message received on his phone, turned on the map mode, and checked the location.
As expected, the location where Shadow Ghost appeared was in the east of Qiangu District, which was just opposite to his current location.
Mu You naturally ignored this. These shadow ghosts are used to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and let others deal with it. His task now is to find the location of the space crack in the shortest possible time.
Mu You sent the sleeping little girl back to the lock cylinder space, and then left the building in the night.
These shadow people cannot exist in the state of pure shadows for too long. Most of the time, they can only exist in human form, and they also need to eat, drink and sleep like ordinary people.
The purpose of the person behind the scenes is to pass through the crack and return to the star spirit world as soon as the space crack opens, so there is a greater possibility that he will hide near the space crack and wait for the crack to open.
According to the conversation between the two people heard in the Gu pool, the space crack is near the little girl's house, and the two people didn't mention how far this "nearby" is, and temporarily take the range of 500 meters nearby as the boundary.
On the paper map, Mu You drew a circle along the location of Ye Rumeng's house.
Next, he is going to conduct a blanket search in this circle, looking for people who are not players.
The area is 500 meters, which seems to be quite large, but fortunately, this area is not too densely populated, and there is an all-knowing crystal, so he only needs to take a close look at everyone to confirm whether it is a player or not.
This work took a whole night, but he didn't find any suspicious person until the next day when all the nearby residents started to go to work and school normally.
"Did you guess wrong, that person didn't squat around here?"
Mu You stood on the top of a tall building, looking at the dense flow of people on the road below, thinking.
This night, of course, he also searched the suspicious area in the vicinity by the way, and also did not find any space cracks. Passing by in front of him, he couldn't tell that it was a space crack.
So if you want to find the space crack, you can only find the person behind the scenes first. However, this guy hides very well. The most important thing is that the time is too short, and there is no time to conduct a large-scale search, which leads to a deadlock in this matter.
In this way, he can only synchronize this information first, let the Japanese government send a large number of people to seal off this area, and then search slowly. Although this will scare the snake, it can at least prevent the other party from escaping tonight.
"Huh?"
Just as Mu You took out his mobile phone and was hesitating whether to disclose the information, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a yellow patch on the road below.
It was a group of elementary school students wearing yellow caps, who were crossing the road collectively under the leadership of the teacher.
This scene made Mu You startled, and suddenly realized something.
He checked the game IDs of all nearby residents last night, but not all of them entered the game. Applying for the activation code of "The Fool" also has a hard age requirement.
That is to say, if that person pretends to be a child, he won't be able to see it with the Omniscient Crystal.
However, he also noticed the children in the neighborhood last night. There are no children who live alone. They all live with their guardians. Their parents are normal people. There is no problem. If these children have been missing for more than a month, they are It's impossible for parents not to report the crime...
etc…
Mu You suddenly remembered something again.
He seems to know one child who disappeared but was not registered in Japan.
Sayaka!
The characters mentioned in Louise’s diary, their names and descriptions all look like children from Japan, but no record can be found in the missing persons database.
If there is no missing information, it means that this person is still in Japan. A person who was clearly arrested in the Undead Society is still living a normal life in the local area. The only possibility is that she is already a shadow person!
Thinking of this, Mu You immediately contacted Lu Yao with an old-fashioned mobile phone.
"Hello?"
"Check something for me."
"Check what?"
"Elementary schools in Tokyo, the registration list of all students, look for a student named 'Sayaka' in it."
"Tokyo?"
Lu Yao's unbelievable voice came from the phone: "Brother, have you stretched your hands abroad now?"
"Don't worry about the specifics, just ask if you can check."
"I can check it, but do you know how many elementary schools there are in Tokyo? You only give me a name, or a popular name like 'Sayaka', how can I check it!" Lu Yao complained.
"Don't worry, it won't be too difficult to check. This child is eight years old. About a year ago, he had a record of absenteeism for a long time." Muyou reported the information calculated based on the diary.
"Oh, that's okay..."
"how long it takes?"
"About a day." Lu Yao said.
"No, it's been too long. I have to get the result before this afternoon. It's useless if it's late." Mu You said.
"Afternoon... I am alone, with hundreds of school servers, you really think I am a fairy!"
"Can't do it?"
"It's not that it can't be done, it's simply impossible, okay! Go and ask anyone, if someone can do it, I'll call you daddy!" Lu Yao vowed.
"A blue outfit." Mu You said.
"Depend on…"
There was no movement on the opposite side for a while, and it took a long time to say: "...you are rich!"
"So can we get the result before this afternoon?" Mu You confirmed. If she couldn't do it, he could only go to the Japanese government to cooperate. But it's still the same problem. The wider the news, the more likely it is to scare the snake.
"It's not impossible, but we need to use some unconventional means... But anyway, it's the system of the book, and I don't have the psychological burden to make trouble for them..." Lu Yao said to herself, and Mu You couldn't hear it. After understanding the term, I hung up the phone.
…
While Mu You and Lu Yao were conspiring to act, accidents happened frequently in Japan.
Tokyo today seems to be extremely lively. Ever since the first shadow ghost appeared on the streets of Tokyo in the early morning, shadow people who had been hidden before began to appear in various parts of Japan one after another.
The masters from the Japanese Defense Agency and the exchange team ran back and forth like firefighters, constantly dealing with the shadow ghosts that appeared.
Of course, such busy work was not fruitless. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the people on both sides finally found the hiding place of those members of the Fengleimen according to the trajectory of one of the shadow ghosts when it escaped, and captured all of them in one fell swoop.
"These guys, are they too ruthless?"
Looking at the shadow that had just dissipated with another wailing in front of him, a member of the dragon group couldn't help complaining. This was already the tenth shadow man they caught today, but none of them survived.
"The other party did not hesitate to throw so many chess pieces out to blow themselves up, which only shows that they have other goals!" The blood emperor shook his head and said, "This is forcibly diverting our attention, leaving us with no time to care about others."
The others looked at each other and nodded. At the end of the day, even the dullest people can feel that the other party is deliberately sneaking them around.
"Yes, but this is a conspiracy. Even if we guess that the other party has other plans, there is nothing we can do about it." Director Wang sighed. The ultimate goal of their trip is to eliminate all shadow ghosts. It's a ticking time bomb. Although they are in another country now, who knows when they will move to the country to take revenge, so as long as the shadow ghost shows up, they can only choose to clear mines first.
"However, the price of the other side's conspiracy is not low."
Blood Emperor said: "How many shadow people can they consume with such a self-destruct method?"
"The opponent dared to sacrifice his subordinates so happily, it can only show that they no longer need these chess pieces, and they are probably planning to abandon the car to protect the handsome, and let the mastermind behind the scenes evacuate from the earth." Director Wang pondered: "In this way, there may be a big game tonight." A more concentrated outbreak is waiting for us!"
Others were shocked when they heard the words. Now this frequency of occurrence has already made them a little bit burnt out. What is the extent of a bigger outbreak?
"That's fine. The mastermind behind the scenes voluntarily withdraws, which means that he doesn't want to confront us head-on. This is a manifestation of concession, which saves us a lot of effort. It's best to solve the matter completely tonight." Blood Emperor said .
…
Facts a few hours later proved that Director Wang's guess really came true.
At midnight that night, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in Tokyo.
A total of sixteen shadow ghosts appeared in various commercial areas at the same time, of which nine were human shadow ghosts and seven were giant shadow ghosts.
Human-shaped shadow ghosts are okay, they exist rationally, and after they appear, they basically flee around while being hunted down, and the damage they actually cause is not that strong.
The trouble is the giant shadow ghosts. These things are equivalent to prehistoric monsters appearing on the streets of the city. They have no thoughts and only know destruction. As long as they appear where they appear, the local streets will be razed to the ground soon.
Although Director Wang has reminded before that there may be a big wave tonight, the Japanese side still underestimated the strength of the enemy's counterattack.
The Fengleimen obviously detonated all the last remaining power in one wave, directly causing the whole of Tokyo to become a mess, the earth trembled, the flames shot up into the sky, the explosions continued, and a large number of residents rushed to the streets to flee, crying and screaming. It is endless, a scene of the end of the world.
"Director Wang, these large shadow ghosts, do you think your group has arranged some people to support them?"
Makiyama Hayata looked at the messy street outside the window, sweating profusely holding up his mobile phone for help.
"President Hayata, this is what we discussed before. If something happens tonight, our people will be responsible for chasing those shadow people, and the shadow ghosts will be handled by you, right?" Director Wang's voice came from the phone .
"That's right, but... no one thought that there would be so many shadow ghosts before!"
Mushan Hayata's face is full of bitterness. Each of the seven shadow ghosts has epic destructive power. Their entire defense club and the player troops that can be mobilized by the civilians add up. Three is the limit to deal with. Seven, let them Hit it on the head!
"President Hayata, this is what you have to deal with. Don't forget that shadow ghosts seem powerful, but they have no thoughts after all. As long as they are eliminated, they will be done once and for all. And these shadow people who are intelligent and can hide are very important to both of us. Words are the real threat, because as long as they are allowed to escape, they may continue to create new shadow ghosts in the future, so I think you understand which task is more important."
The voice on the phone silenced Hayata. Indeed, he also knew in his heart that shadow ghosts were just pains on the bright side, and those shadow people would be even more harmful to the future if they were not eradicated.
It's a pity that people are often short-sighted, especially when this happened in their territory. What they have to consider is not only the question of which side is more harmful in the future, but also the current public opinion and the public's reaction.
If these shadow ghosts are not handled properly, causing huge casualties in the country, the spittle of the people alone can drown them.
However, these things are something that the exchange team of the other party does not need to consider. They only need to complete their own tasks and remove things that threaten their country.
At this moment, Hayata wanted to understand everything, but he didn't dare to complain openly, so he could only ask kindly, hoping that after the exchange team got rid of those shadow people, they could come back to help them as soon as possible.
Director Wang naturally agreed to this, and the two parties hung up the phone during the 'pleasant' exchange.
At 00:30 in the middle of the night, half an hour after the shadow ghost erupted, the city of Tokyo was still in chaos.
Cyanwood District, as one of the few areas not affected by the chaos, is still relatively calm at this moment.
In a certain residential building, a little girl got up from the bed late at night.
This girl possessed a calmness beyond her years. The faint shouts and explosions outside did not cause any waves on her face at all.
The girl got up with a blank expression, dressed and washed herself, and made herself clean and tidy. Finally, she changed into sneakers and a black dress. After looking at her watch, she took the flashlight prepared on the table and quietly pushed the room open. The door went out.
The girl calmly went downstairs in the dark until she came to the door on the first floor.
However, when she reached out to touch the doorknob, a woman's voice sounded behind her.
"Sayaka, where are you going?"
The woman was startled, and hurried over quickly, and pulled the girl back: "It's a mess outside tonight, the news says to stay at home as much as possible, and you still go out and run around!"
The girl was pulled back to the living room by the woman, and she still didn't say a word, she just looked up at the woman, which made the woman's hair stand on end.
"What's the matter, why don't you talk? You've been a little strange these days. Since you went out and came back on Tuesday night, you seem to be a different person suddenly. I haven't seen you smile again. Are you sick and uncomfortable?" The woman asked worriedly.
The woman subconsciously wanted to press the light switch as she spoke.
But just as she turned around, a sharp claw pierced her throat from behind.
The woman fell to the ground clutching her bleeding neck, looking at the girl behind her in disbelief, but she couldn't make a sound when she wanted to speak.
"Thank you for taking care of me these three days."
The girl let out an immature voice, brushed off the blood on her arm expressionlessly, and then, in the woman's horrified and desperate eyes, turned around and opened the door to leave the building.
After going out, the girl put on her hood, and her black body completely blended into the night.
The girl walked out of the yard and walked to a park not far from the building. She stopped in a corner of the park, covered in black energy, and stretched out her hand to push away a few thick bluestone slabs on the ground, revealing a mouth hidden underneath. dry well.
Looking around and confirming that there is no one around, the girl jumped into the dry well.
A spacious passage has been dug at the bottom of the well, and the girl walked quickly along the passage with a flashlight on.
All the way to the deepest part of the passage, at the end of the front, a long and narrow blue crack in the space stands on the stone wall there, and what emerges from the crack is a completely strange night scene, like an open star. eyes, looking at this underground environment from another world.
After confirming that the rift had been opened, the girl turned off the flashlight and walked quickly towards the light ahead.
However, just when she was about to crack, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis coming from her side, and hurriedly rolled to the side.
The next moment, a sickle was nailed to the position where she was standing just now.
At the same time, the girl noticed a figure suddenly appeared in front of the entrance of the crack ahead, blocking her way.
"It turns out that the space crack is hidden in this kind of place, no wonder no one has found it for so many years."
Because the Japanese reality is more sensitive in terms of plot themes, some edits were made to the outline, and a plot of fighting wits and courage with Kazunami was deleted, and the result was quickly skipped, so the rhythm of this chapter is a bit faster.
