In the silent corridor, Angel walked firmly in one direction.
"Are we going to find that strange fog?" Dangros hung back on the Bloody Night Shelter and asked Angel curiously.
Angel: "No, let's go to room 02 first."
"Aren't you going to deal with the fog?" Dangross continued.
Angel did not answer, because he had now arrived at the target point.
This is still a long corridor. At first glance, there is nothing too surprising. The only difference from other places is that the nearest overhead lamp is about ten meters away, which makes the light here a little dim.
.However, it’s not like the road can’t be seen clearly. At most, the shadows on the walls on both sides are a bit magnified.
If you are not paying attention, you may ignore this dim light area. But Angel, after observing the main control node, it is very clear that the door of Room 02 is actually hidden in the shadow.
Angel took a direct step towards the shadowed wall, and his whole person seemed to melt into the shadows, disappearing from the corridor.
After Angel disappeared, a star suddenly rose in a corner of this shadow area, quietly watching the place where Angel disappeared. It can be seen from its constant flashing frequency that it seemed to have
Unwilling to give in, he wanted to follow.
But in the end, this starlight still did not move forward, but floated to the other side of the corridor, blending with other starlights.
On the other side, after Angel walked into the shadows, the surrounding scene immediately changed, and what appeared in front of him was a corridor that was dimmer than the outside.
This corridor also has a light source, but compared to the bright ceiling light outside, the light source used here is the flame of an oil lamp in the black grid on the wall.
Although there is an oil lamp every ten meters, the flame of the oil lamp is relatively dim and cannot completely illuminate the corridor. At most, it can serve as a guide.
"Why is it so gloomy here?" Dangros muttered, looking around.
"Maybe it's because the owner here is a shadow wizard." Angel replied smoothly as he walked forward.
Dangros has been following Angel during this period, and he has gained some common sense about the wizarding world. He also understands that shadow wizards actually refer to shadow wizards in the mysterious side. This type of wizard is relatively rare, and is also known as
For the shadow wizard.
"Shadow wizards like dim environments? Then why not just turn off the lights and make it completely dark?"
Angel glanced at Dangros and said softly: "Shadow is not darkness, it is the dark side of light. If there is no light, how can shadow exist?"
Dangros: "So there must be light for the shadow wizard to have meaning?"
Angel: "Of course not. One is a concept and the other is reality. The concept is the goal and the principle of pursuit. On the practical level, the endless darkness is indeed more suitable for the shadow wizard to live in."
Dangros could understand it before, but as soon as Angel explained it, he seemed to understand.
Just when Dangros was about to inquire further, they came to the first oil lamp.
Dangoros did not pay attention to the oil lamp, but was attracted by the shadow on the ground illuminated by the flame of the oil lamp.
Because the flame in the grid is not stable, it occasionally rises and falls again when it is burning. This causes Angel's shadow to flicker constantly, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes long and sometimes short.
"Unpredictability is also the nature of shadows." Angel also saw the dancing shadows on the ground and said, "However, compared to unpredictability, the most well-known quality of shadows is concealment."
Angel continued to walk forward, while Dangros continued to stare at the shadow on the ground. It was not until they left the light source and the shadow was submerged in darkness that Dangros raised his head.
It turned around and wanted to say something to Angel.
But before it could speak, it was discovered that Angel suddenly stood still. But the footsteps did not stop, and another "Angel" was continuing to walk forward.
When Dangros saw this familiar scene, he immediately understood what Angel wanted to do.
Whether it was encountering X0 or later the Fire Scale Familiar, Dangros had experienced this situation several times before. Angel's true form was watching leisurely while the illusion deceived the enemy.
Now Angel has separated the illusion again, which has explained everything.
Dangros was staring at the shadows on the ground before. He was not attracted by the sense of movement, but discovered some strange traces. Now, Angel has obviously discovered the existence hidden in the shadows.
Dangros silently watched "Angel" walking further and further away. Although he had experienced this scene several times, he was moved every time.
When meeting X0, a sound created an illusion. When fighting the fire scale familiar, he just stepped forward at will, and he was divided into two parts, the real and the illusory, in the firelight.
The same is true this time. As the light and shadow change, the real body and the illusion seamlessly alternate.
This kind of illusion ability is simply impossible to guard against.
Even Dangelos, who was staying on Angel's body, couldn't help but mourn for the enemy. Even if the opponent tried their best and finally broke through Angel's illusion, you can be sure that the new Angel is...
Real?
While Dangros was sighing, "Angel" had already reached the middle of the two light sources, which was the darkest part of this corridor.
When the darkness is at its peak, the existence hidden in the shadows finally cannot help but reveal its fangs.
With a silent smile, he suppressed all malice, turned the shadow into a sharp blade, and quietly thrust it into Angel's vest.
If the other party was not stabbing the illusion, then this could be called a good assassination.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
There was no need for Dangros to look at what happened next. When the self-righteous and ferocious person hiding in the shadows encountered the illusion that acted irrationally, the illusion naturally won.
However, the process of winning is longer than that of X0 and Fire Scale Familiar.
The main reason is not that the opponent is strong or weak, but that Angel did not make a killing move. Rather than killing the being in the shadow, Angel wanted to catch it, which resulted in the battle taking longer.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, the opponent's strength is also quite good, even if it has not reached the level of
A lot.
About five minutes later, the being in the shadow was finally whipped out of existence by the phantom limb. In the ring of fire that Dangros helped create, it shivered and did not dare to move.
With the dazzling light of the fire ring, Dangros finally saw the other party's true face.
It was a round black shadow curled up in the center of the fire ring. It looked like a black tide was surging inside, but the overall shape remained relatively stable.
Because the whole body is black, and it can be stretched or shrunk, it is really impossible to tell the specific appearance. The only external features that can be seen are the large watery eyes that cover a large area, and the eyes that always keep the
Smiling mouth.
Dangros looked at it again and again, and said hesitantly: "This looks a bit like the creature described by the mascot in the psychic belt before, the one they met on the second floor..."
Angel: "Shadow Demon."
Dangros: "Yes, that's it!"
Dangros still remembered that Nice was wailing for a long time because the Shadow Demon was killed by Kanter.
"The Shadow Demon can assist in practicing the Shadow Entering Technique and is of great value." Angel explained casually. It was precisely because of the characteristics of the Shadow Demon that Angel had tried so hard to catch it before, and
Not kill it.
Dangross nodded. Nice had indeed mentioned this in the Psychic Tie before. Nice also wanted to catch the Shadow Demon, but the Shadow Demon had already invaded the mascot's soul, so Kanter had no choice but to kill the creature.
Only the Shadow Demon.
"This is the shadow wizard's room. So, the Shadow Demon on the second floor was really created by this shadow wizard?"
Angel: "Probably."
Dangros turned to look at the trembling Shadow Demon in the ring of fire: "Then should we torture it? Maybe it knows something about the Shadow Wizard?"
Angel shook his head.
Shadow demons are low-intelligent beings. Although they have the ability to communicate, their communication is through some kind of signal in the shadow. This is a secret that only shadow wizards can master. Others cannot communicate with it at all.
So, torture? It doesn’t exist.
Angel took out a piece of self-illuminating crystal and quickly melted it into a hollow sphere, like a large round incandescent light bulb.
Immediately afterwards, he controlled the phantom limb to wrap up the revealed shadow demon, and then stuffed it into the luminous ball.
Just close the lid and you're done.
To capture such shadow creatures, you can trap them by just creating a ball of light. In a ball of light with no blind spots and no shadows, they can only huddle in the center and dare not move at all.
After putting the Shadow Demon into his bracelet, Angel continued to move forward.
He very much hopes to encounter a few more Shadow Demons. This kind of rare creature has almost become extinct in the Southern Territory and has not been discovered for hundreds of years. Naturally, the more the better.
But Angel also understood that there was probably only this one Shadow Demon. Because when he was observing Room 02 at the main control node, he faintly noticed that there seemed to be a strange creature in Room 02.
At that time, we couldn't determine what it was, but now it seems that it must be the Shadow Demon.
In fact, this is also the reason why Angel chose to come to Room 02 first.
Previously, through the main control node's observation of the fifth floor, apart from the Fire Scale familiar, the only thing with obvious life fluctuations on the entire fifth floor was this strange creature in Room 02.
After the death of the Firescale familiar, the Mist Shadow appeared. Through some mental judgments, Angel guessed that the Mist Shadow was a semi-empty state. If he wanted to influence the material world, he might have to possess living things.
As for the entire fifth floor, the only creature that can be possessed by the shadow of the mist is the strange creature in Room 02.
This is the reason why Angel came to Room 02 in the first place.
I originally thought that I might encounter the Mist Shadow here again, but now it seems that the Mist Shadow has not come to Room 02. Maybe it is because it does not know that there is a possessed Shadow Demon here? Or,
Isn't its ability enough to possess the Shadow Demon?
No matter what the answer is, at least Angel has now solved a hidden danger. If the shadow of the fog can really possess the shadow demon, with the terrifying blessing of the shadow of the fog on the living body, as well as its cunning character, it will never be possible to fight.
As easy as now.
Although the Shadow of the Mist is not in Room 02, it does not matter. Angel has no urgent desire to find and solve the Shadow of the Mist.
The superficial reason is that the Mist Shadow is not from the laboratory, and its purpose may not have much overlap with their trip.
But the real reason is that Angel doesn't really want to solve the shadow of the fog.
He always felt that the origin of this foggy shadow was a bit strange, and when he expressed his desire to kill the foggy shadow before, he had some unwarranted omens in his heart.
These omens are not dangerous, but they seem to be preventing Angel from killing it.
Of course, this is just Angel's idealistic feeling. It is so unreal that even Angel himself cannot guarantee it.
But he is willing to obey his inner will. As long as the shadow of the fog no longer comes to provoke him, he does not want to deliberately seek to deal with it.
…
Continuing forward and passing through several more oil lamps, they finally walked out of the corridor and came to the main hall of Room 02.
The style here is different from the darkness in the corridor.
There are many light sources in the main hall, but these light sources are not completely illuminated. Instead, they are blocked by certain room designs and only play a tenth of the role.
This results in more light sources, more light, more masking, more cropping, and more shadows.
It can be said that the entire hall has a very unique light and shadow style. There are cut lights and shadow angles everywhere, and some lights and shadows even achieve geometric symmetry, which amazed Angel.
However, Angel's main purpose of coming here is not to visit, but to find useful information.
At this time, the main hall was filled with a large number of books and scattered papers.
Before, Angel was worried that the Fire Scale Familiar would come to Room 02 and burn these books, but now he has saved them.
Angel randomly picked up a book on a nearby silver-white island, flipped through it for a moment, and then put it down.
"Yingdu Night Whisper" is a best-selling magazine from the Forest of Night Whispers, which is very popular among witches.
The dozens of books on Nakajima are all "Yingdu Night Language".
Maybe it’s the magazines No. 02 bought to learn about the wizarding world in the Southern Region? Or maybe it’s No. 02’s unknown hobby?
Angel turned around again, controlling five magic hands at the same time, and flipped through a large number of books in the main hall.
Unfortunately, there was basically no information here that he was looking for. There were more travel notes and gossip magazines that were very biased and very feminine.
However, if Angel remembers correctly, No. 03 seems to have said that No. 02 is a man?
Of course, these books are not completely useless. There are some magazines among them. Although they are biased toward gossip, Angel is certain that he has never heard of similar magazines in the Southern Region before.
For example, "Forgotten Poems", the name sounds a bit like an epic story, but it is actually a magazine that explores the personal affairs of witches.
After opening it, the first article is called "The Oath of the Blood Mist Moon".
