Chapter 98: Something in the shadow

Views:

Xu Le blinked a few times and looked away, wanting to see if he had seen it wrong, but when he looked again, the result was still the same.

Gu Beichen-Light Casting

He was sure that Gu Beichen really had the label of Ancient Sound Multi-Vision, which was definitely different from normal people.

However, the only thing to be thankful for is that there is no level description or weird description on Gu Beichen.

He only has two words "Guangzhu". Does this mean that he can still be saved

Is it because of that shadow monster

Although this idiot has a bad personality, his character is still okay.

Last night, Xu Le was reminded about Gu Jianuo. It was not logical for Xu Le to give up on him.

"Gu Beichen!"

Xu Le suddenly shouted, and Gu Beichen, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xu Le.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, although it was only for a moment, but Xu Le was sure that it was a surprise.

Xu Le thought, based on Gu Beichen's personality, if he really discovered something, he would definitely want to let everyone know.

But ever since the explosion last night, this guy has started to act like a riddle man.

Did something really happen to Gu Beichen

"You called me?"

Gu Beichen stood at the door and asked, but Xu Le hooked his finger at him.

"Yes, it's you. Come out."

Xu Le did not change his previous tone. In this situation, the more hostile the situation is, the safer Gu Beichen will be.

After hearing Xu Le's call, Gu Beichen raised his head slightly:

"What? Do you want to hit me or something?"

There was some tension in the conversation between the two, and Bai Jing, who was about to enter the building, felt a little strange.

Although Xu Le is a little jumpy, he is really reliable in doing things.

He suddenly called out to Gu Beichen, and it was such a blatant shouting, which was very unreasonable.

Then do I need to cooperate with Xu Le

"Gu Beichen, go see what Xu Le is doing."

Bai Jing's words made Gu Beichen look sideways, and then he nodded.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Bai Jing also saw something from Gu Beichen's eyes just now. Excitement, yes, excitement. It seems that she did the right thing.

She had spent a lot of time with each team member, so she immediately noticed something was wrong.

She said to Wang Shu beside her:

"Wang Shu, you stay here and keep an eye on them. The others, switch positions with me."

Bai Jing's request seemed a bit strange, but no one questioned it.

"yes."

After Bai Jing and the others hid at the door of the building, Gu Beichen was already standing at the edge of the shadow of the building.

Standing in this position, he seemed a little hesitant.

Suddenly he turned his head and looked in the direction of the building. As if to confirm that Bai Jing and the others had gone in, Gu Beichen slowly walked out of the shadow of the building.

Wang Shu stared at Gu Beichen and Xu Le, not quite sure what had happened between them.

But he knew that Bai Jing would never do such a meaningless thing.

So I became particularly serious when observing the attitudes of the two people.

Standing in the middle of the broken square pool, Xu Le stared at Gu Beichen.

As Gu Beichen stepped out from the shadows step by step, Xu Le finally confirmed something.

With the help of Gu Yin's multi-perspective, Gu Beichen's shadow kept jumping.

It bared its fangs and claws, and turned into the form of a woman or a demon. This constant change made Xu Le very uneasy.

Memories of Bai Kui, Special, Shadow Fiend, Level 3 Strange, Ghost, Ancient Sound - Lightforged Polluter, Awakening - Shadow Escape, Awakening - Soul Reaper

Although Xu Le has been staring at Gu Beichen, in Gu Yin's multi-perspective, the focus is always on his shadow.

Is there something weird hiding in the shadows

Last night’s explosion, Gu Beichen’s Riddler state, and his suddenly smarter brain should all be related to the current Shadow Demon.

"Memories of shame? Shadow Escape, collect souls!"

Xu Le had already entered a state of emptiness. He sorted out his thoughts in a short period of time and thought about what might happen.

From the current perspective, Gu Beichen is possessed by the Shadow Demon.

He doesn't dare to speak carelessly in this possessed state. Is it because he will be killed by the shadow demon if he speaks carelessly

The Shadow Demon should be intelligent, he wouldn't dare to hint at things like shadows.

So he's been doing all kinds of weird stuff.

For example, a stupid guy suddenly becomes very smart.

So Gu Beichen’s previous words were not only a reminder to himself, but also a request for help

If that was a cry for help, what should he do to avoid killing this guy

This was the square pool that had just exploded. Apart from the two of them, there was no one else here, and no buildings either.

So there are only their two shadows.

When the two were about 10 meters apart, Gu Beichen stopped, pointed at his chest and said:

"Come on, hit me here. I just want to change the car. If you dare, kill me."

"Look at your arrogance, do you really think I dare not hit you?"

Seeing this action, Xu Le already understood what Gu Beichen meant.

It must hit the chest and be a fatal blow.

It is now past 8 o'clock, the shadow is stretched, and Gu Beichen's shadow is keeping a distance from Xu Le.

Xu Le looked at the distance, which was about 7-8 meters. Perhaps this was the safe distance.

"Yes, what else is there to talk about between us? If you want to come, then come."

Gu Beichen raised his head slightly, with disdain in his eyes, and a sense of middle school mentality emerged spontaneously.

"Yes, it's time to put an end to it." Xu Le nodded.

Wang Shu, who was standing at the door of the building, had a strange expression on his face. It was not because of anything else that he felt that the conversation between Gu Beichen and Xu Le was a little strange. It felt like the role-playing game he played when he was a child.

To be precise, it's acting.

"What are they going to do? From the looks of it, a duel?"

Wang Shu suddenly realized something was wrong, only to find that Xu Le had raised his pistol and pointed it at Gu Beichen.

Gu Beichen held a fireball in his hand.

Seeing that the brothers were about to kill each other, Wang Shu wanted to speak, but Bai Jing suddenly covered his mouth.

Wang Shu shut up, but he was happy in his heart.

“It’s so huge!”

In the center of the square, Gu Beichen looked at Xu Le who was pointing a gun at him, and the flame in his hand suddenly rose higher.

"Want to kill me? You can try."

When Xu Le heard this, he immediately understood Gu Beichen's hint, which was for him to shoot.

"Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."

Xu Le moved the magazine of the revolver to the last bullet, a bullet that Xu Le usually would not use.

Because this bullet was the ancient sound multi-heart energy bullet he made - fear.

He stretched out his left hand, and something like a pocket watch fell into his hand.

SU Relic - Deathstroke.

Under the suspicious gazes of Wang Shu and Bai Jing and the expectant gaze of Gu Beichen, Xu Le had already pressed the reset button of the death knell.

Buzz!

A wave of soul-calming sound spread out in the surroundings.

SU-level relics can produce excellent effects on level 3-4 monsters.

Faced with the sound of the death knell, even a level 3 Shadow Fiend was now firmly fixed in place.

At the same time, Xu Le pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Ancient sound multiple heart energy bullets are fired.

Gu Beichen frowned. The sound of the death knell would only have an effect on ghosts. As a human, it would not have any effect on him.

When the death knell sounded, his body instantly turned into elements, and ice gradually replaced his entire body.

Gu Yinduo's bullet hit his chest accurately.

When the bullet hit Gu Beichen, it seemed to hit something else, like a faint black shadow.

A big hole suddenly exploded in the ice man's chest, and he fell straight down, hitting the ground, turning into a pile of ice chips.

Gu Beichen, who had turned into ice chips, no longer had any trace.

The black shadow gradually condensed in the air, and it seemed to want to find a place to drill into, such as Xu Le's shadow.

But Xu Le didn't give him any chance at all.

After two consecutive jumps, he created some distance between himself and the shadow.

"Eight meters is just right."

Without a host, the black shadow had nowhere to escape in the sunlight. It kept shrinking and swimming, trying to swim towards the building.

But Xu Le was well prepared.

Bang bang bang bang!

Each of the next five bullets hit Shadow.

Although these bullets are not anima bullets, they also have the effect of enchanting and dispelling.

Each bullet burns off a portion of the shadow.

But this was not enough. When the black shadow approached the building, Bai Jing and the others finally came out.

"Everyone, prepare to shoot."

"yes."

Bai Jing did not pause either. He picked up the shotgun at hand and fired two shots at the shadow.

Bang!

This shadow without a host actually let out a scream, as if it could no longer withstand this kind of damage. Circles of blue and black mixed things evaporated from the shadow.

"What is that?" Bai Jing asked Gan.

"It should be something like a soul."

After Gan finished speaking, he didn't continue talking nonsense and started to release the spell directly.

Technique - Heart Energy Explosion.

A surge of mental energy rushed through the square and struck the shadow.

Under the impact of the explosion of heart energy, a large number of souls spewed out from the shadow. After being directly exposed to the sunlight, these faint souls quickly dissipated into the air.

I don’t know whether it is liberation or death.

The Shadow Demon himself was also screaming and fleeing around the square.

"It's a shadow, don't get close to it." Xu Le shouted.

The others immediately took two steps back and stopped approaching.

Bai Jing picked up the pistol and said to the others:

"Shoot it from a long distance and kill it bit by bit."

"yes."

Under Bai Jing's command, the team members' firepower became more and more intense, and those people from Team 5 were also rushed out at this time.

When they saw Bai Jing and the others shooting at a black shadow, they immediately realized that it might be something strange and joined in the shooting.

Never save bullets when facing monsters. This is something all Night Watchmen know.

The barrage of bullets fell like raindrops, and the Shadow Demon, who was forced to retreat, kept struggling and wailing.

Its tenacious vitality has exceeded many people's expectations.

Some people have already fired 5-6 magazines at this time, but the Shadow Fiend is not dead yet. You should know that all these bullets are enchanted.

But the Shadow Fiend's life is limited after all.

After Xu Le fired the second mental energy bullet, the wailing shadow demons finally scattered, exploded into countless scattered shadows, and disappeared into the air.

After the battle, everyone was actually a little scared.

A shadow actually has such strong vitality. What will happen if it really blends into the shadow of the building

"Dead?"

"It should be dead. It just exploded."

"Heh, it's rare that this kind of weirdness can be solved without any injuries."

Although others were unable to determine Shadow Fiend's level, judging from the number of times he resisted dispelling bullets, it was definitely not a level 2 monster.

A normal level 2 monster can be dealt with by 5-6 rounds of shotgun fire.

Being able to kill such a level 3 monster with strange abilities from a distance was naturally something worth celebrating.

The only person who was not happy was probably Xu Le.

The reason was that he was not sure whether Shadow Fiend was really dead.

Logically speaking, Shadow Fiend's full name is Shameful Memory, Lightforged Polluter, and he is a polluter with awakened abilities.

Its level should be the same as the statue.

As a ghost species, especially a high-level ghost species, there will generally be things like objects of sustenance or ghost fragments after death.

But now he had scanned the entire place and didn't find anything dropped or left over, which was suspicious.

"Really?"

While Xu Le was puzzled, Gu Beichen, who had been shattered into pieces, was wriggling on the ground.

The broken pieces of ice gradually stuck together, slowly grew bigger and taller, and turned back into the previous iceman state.

After confirming that there were no damaged parts on his body, Gu Beichen gradually transformed into a physical body.

He squatted on the ground, pinching his forehead to relieve the burden of excessive use of the fruit's energy.

While taking a break, he also complained:

"Huh, finally got rid of it."

Xu Le stood in front of him, staring at Gu Beichen who was still resentful, and immediately curled his lips.

"I was wondering why you suddenly became smart, it turns out you were anxious."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"Think quickly and think quickly!"

Originally Gu Beichen thought it was a compliment, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.

"You mean I was stupid?"

"uh-huh."

"Bullshit, I'm actually very smart."

Wang Shu walked over at this time. He was also confused about everything that happened before, but after seeing the Shadow Demon, many things became clear to him.

"You two were making eye contact before? Are you so in sync?"

Xu Le curled his lips:

"That's probably it. Someone was possessed by a ghost. He must be scared to death, so he was quick-witted and found a way to send me some signals."

"You farted, I'm not scared, you don't understand that feeling."

"Can you still feel something when you're possessed by a ghost?"

Xu Le originally meant to mock, but he didn't expect Gu Beichen to calm down and nod seriously:

"This monster is a little special. It has collected many souls, including Shunliu's."

"Is that so?"

Xu Le remembered that one of the Shadow Demon's awakened abilities was soul collection. If we take the literal meaning, it should be the ability to collect souls.

When Li Shunliu died, was his soul also taken away

"After it possessed you, did you talk to Li Shunliu?"

"Yes, we talked. She told me some things about herself and Gu Jianuo, and asked me not to blame you."

"Is there a possibility that Shadow Demon told you this just to calm you down?"

Xu Le's suspicion is not groundless. If the Shadow Demon's possession has a certain purpose, this is a very likely guess.

"No, I don't think so. The content of my conversation with Shunliu was very diverse. If it wasn't true, there wouldn't be so much messy information.

And it's not without purpose. It has been guiding me ever since it entered my body.

It wanted me to do a few things for it and marked a place for me to find something.”

"Looking for something? What? Something about the mayor?"

“I don’t know, it doesn’t seem like it, the things he asked me to find seemed to be unimportant.

Notebook, toothbrush, pillow, hat, and... walking stick."

Hearing Gu Beichen say this, Xu Le felt even more puzzled, but now the team was ready to start again, so Xu Le directly said to Wang Shu:

"Brother Shu, go look after her first."

Wang Shu's eyes moved, he nodded, and walked towards the team silently.

Gu Jianuo is very special. Although there is no possibility of much conflict between the two sides at present, someone still needs to watch her just in case.

This is a job with certain risks, and Wang Shu knows that neither Gu Beichen nor Xu Le is suitable for it.

The most suitable person is only himself.

Bai Jing, who was standing at the door of the building, glanced at the two of them, although she was not quite sure what had happened between Xu Le and Gu Beichen.

But judging from the way they are now close and arm in arm, they should be fine.

"I'll give you five minutes to rest. Catch up as soon as possible."

"yes."

After the two nodded in agreement, Xu Le extended his hand to Gu Beichen:

"Get up."

"snort."

Gu Beichen grabbed Xu Le's hand, but the moment their fingers touched, a strong hostility erupted from their hearts.

This feeling, this hostility, is completely involuntary.

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

This thought filled the minds of both of them. Gu Beichen took a few steps back, his face full of surprise and suspicion. He looked at Xu Le deeply.

"You felt the emotion just now?"
