"His shadow... how come back?"
As soon as this sentence fell, everyone was shocked.
The barrage, which has just been not active enough, began to speak enthusiastically at this moment.
[Fuck, really, didn’t the magicians noticed before, they disappeared after entering this instance, not only trainees and NPCs, there are no shadows in the buildings in this small town]
[Yes, yes, I also remember this, you see, there is nothing under the feet of the people around the fireplace, only the rescued trainee has]
[There must be some omen for this shadow's sudden return. Speaking of which, who of you just watched it in the live broadcast room? I cut it out and didn’t see it]
The trainee who had been speechless for a long time warmed up by the fireplace, gradually calmed down, and finally spoke.
"We just went out together, it was raining heavily outside..."
Less than ten minutes ago, the trainees who had changed their clothes early rushed into the torrential rain wearing raincoats.
It is strange to say that the rain on the sky is a lot less when walking from the cathedral into the city. When finally walking to the center of the city, the rain that almost became a rain curtain in front of the church has completely stopped.
Not only that, the street lights in the middle of the city are also flickering and dimming, with special effects often found in horror movies, making people panic.
Everyone was holding a purifying gun, and looked around vigilantly.
Someone found something wrong and pointed to the ground on the side and exclaimed: "You...Look at that!"
Looking along the direction of the finger, a puddle of water was spread on the beige striped floor tiles of the small town.
The high moon rises from the night sky, and a cluster of cold light shines on the dark-colored curtain, looking down at the earth condescendingly.
In those small pools of water, the hideous and inexplicable phantom cleared away the mist and gradually appeared.
The black buildings are reflected on the water surface, and the dark asphalt flows down from the top of the minaret, dyeing all the cold and hard lines on the edge of the town into a deep color, rich and hideous.
Just as a dark cloud passed by, the moonlight was concealed under the layers of the night sky.
The heaven and the earth were suddenly dimmed.
The black shadow that was distorted to the shape of a human was entangled in it, and in the next second it took up a splash of water, broke out of the stagnant water, and howled toward the sky.
It's too late to say, then it's fast. The eyes of Anthony, who reacted most quickly, were suddenly lit with blood, and the purifying gun in his hand was slightly raised, and one shot hit the dark shadow.
The ability of the vampire gave him unparalleled night vision ability, and also allowed him to find out what was wrong earlier than others.
"Uhhhhh-"
The black shadow roared like a beast.
The bullet/bullet of the Purification Gun is silvery white, and after pushing into the chest of Sombra, it cannibalize the original color at an incredible speed. The black shadow was suddenly dispersed from the center, turned into countless drops of water and scattered to the ground, and finally pulled back to the original color of the water drops.
When Anthony finished solving the dark shadow, he turned around and found that the other trainees were still at a loss in the dark, not knowing what had happened.
Damn, there are no street lights here, the moon is blocked again, and the visibility is almost negligible.
If you continue to fight like this, the trainees will suffer.
"What are you doing in a daze?! Ready to evacuate!" Anthony roared, and first began to turn around and ran back.
The puddle connects the corners of the whole street, and the reflection of the small town inside is just a mirror effect on the ground, and it can be overlapped with a slight fold. In the rainy night, thousands of black hands crawled out of it, rushing to reach the trainees.
Suddenly greeted with such a shout, everyone woke up, and no longer cared about the appearance of those dark shadows in their eyes, raised the butt of the rifle, and ran back while shooting.
But there are too many shadows.
In the words of these little popes, the "residents of the evil city of hell" are distorted, like ghosts of life-threatening, dark eyes cannot even be illuminated by moonlight.
They could only use the sound of splashing water and the trajectory drawn by the silver-white bullets in the air to barely recognize the surging color patches, and shoot aimlessly into the darkness.
"Wait... don't shoot, they seem to be..."
Several of the trainees saw their appearance clearly and let out a short scream.
Someone suddenly turned their heads when they heard the scream, but didn't want a black shadow to break through the trainees' gradual retreat line of defense.
There was no blood as expected, no separation of the head and limbs, and even the sound of tearing flesh.
"Boom—"
The person who was rushed by the black shadow rolled his eyes and fell straight to the ground, and the dirty water splashed him all over.
So other trainees hurriedly transported him back.
After hearing this story, Zong Jiu frowned, "No wounds?"
Sure enough, after the re-examination, the trainee lying on the ground showed no signs of injury, whether it was neck or chest, except that he still hadn't recovered his sanity and was still twitching on the ground, there was no abnormality at all.
The white-haired young man squatted on the ground and touched his chin, "Does any of you see exactly what those dark shadows are?"
Zhong Yiyuan shook his head, affirming that it was not a ghost.
Several trainees hesitated and raised their hands, Anthony also paused and raised his hands to indicate.
Zong Jiu's gaze turned to the ordinary trainees.
"My, my eyes just strengthened. Although it was really dark at the time, I saw a little bit."
The streets of the small town are simply not ordinary black, that black can even flow, seeping out from the pool of stagnant water, as if it has substantial life, ordinary eyesight enhancement can't see anything from it.
Everyone looked at this trainee.
The latter hesitated and said: "They, they seem to be residents of the town."
Before the crowd was in an uproar, he added a sentence uncertainly: "It is also possible that I misunderstood, because their appearance is really different from the townspeople in the City of Goodness."
There was a dead silence in the side hall. Several other people who raised their hands also nodded silently, expressing affirmation.
There was a lot of discussion in the live broadcast room.
[Is there a sister who just stood guard in this live broadcast room came out to explain what is going on? 】
[Come here, I was here just now, waiting for me to type first. Fortunately, we can adjust the brightness when watching the live broadcast, otherwise we would be as stunned as the trainees]
[Isn't it, it hurts]
[This B-level boss is right. The black shadows are indeed the residents of the town just now. They are not deceived. I am 100% sure of this. There is just one thing. These big bosses may have been too rushed to find out. .. ... That shadow melted into the body of the comatose trainee! 】
Zong Jiu stood up from the ground, suddenly raised his eyes, "You roll up all your sleeves and have a look."
Everyone does what they say.
The trainees rolled up their sleeves one after another, exposing a lot of white arms underneath.
Soon, the exclamation sounded one after another.
"Why am I missing a black line!"
"Hey, me too!"
Two black lines appeared among the twenty-nine trainees who somehow eliminated one of them. The evil black lines in the hands of the other trainees were still there, there were still six.
Faced with this incredible situation, the two trainees also couldn't figure out the situation. Because they, like everyone else, shot at the dark shadows indiscriminately.
"Is it because you hit but we didn't hit it?"
Xu Sukai spoke in contemplation, and then quickly denied his speculation.
In the heavy rain just now, there were countless black shadows coming up, densely packed, there were a total of twenty-nine of them, it is impossible that only two of them hit the black shadow, this guess is too outrageous.
The little devil sat aside, sunk himself into the soft cushion of the sofa, supported his chin with both hands, watching them discussing with interest.
Zong Jiu glanced back at him, and the latter immediately gave him a sweet smile.
"How about this."
Zong Jiu straightened up, "Today's weather is really bad, and there are unexpected conditions. Everyone should go back to rest first, and everything will have to wait for the wounded to wake up tomorrow before making a decision."
indeed so.
They are here now, and the wounded will not be able to wake up for a while. Before he can figure out what the evil city escaped from outside, rushing into the rain is tantamount to death.
Everyone is an advanced trainee, so it's impossible not to understand this. When the clues are not complete, it is not a good choice to attack rashly. It would rather be time-consuming and not just joke about life or death casually.
So the trainees had no choice but to go back to the dormitory behind the cathedral under the leadership of the nun with their stomachs full of questions.
Only the little devil, Zong Jiu and Anthony were left in the side hall.
The white-haired magician rubbed his temples tiredly.
The fire from the fireplace leaped on his beautiful face, stretching the shadows cast by the facial features and carving deeper.
Anthony looked at the trainee who was unconscious on the ground with a complicated expression: "They are right, the shadow is indeed a resident of the town. And... it melted into his body."
Because of his natural ability, Anthony was the one who watched the whole process completely.
At that time, he saw the black shadow pounce on the trainee, blending into the opponent's body like a water milk/combination, without a trace.
Faced with this situation, he also explained his guesses and reasoning.
On the ground is the city of good, and under the ground is the city of evil.
The residents of the good city are full of good intentions, and the residents of the evil city are naturally full of malice. The two cities are exactly the same in the reflection on the water, like a mirror refraction.
Can it be understood that the residents of the city of evil are exactly like the city of good, just like copying and pasting
Watching Anthony leave behind in the corner, the little demon who has been supporting the outsiders of the authorities jumped off the sofa.
The nun appeared from behind the shadows, and put the unlucky ghost on the ground in a coma to rest on the sofa.
The little devil yawned in place, opened his arms to the white-haired youth very skillfully, and began to act like a baby.
"It's so late, so sleepy, brother, let's go upstairs to sleep together."
Zong Jiu glanced at him, and stood still: "I'm sorry, the accompanying/sleeping service is not included in playing with you."
The little devil's eyes rolled around, looking at him expectantly, "Then brother must tell me some bedtime stories."
Zong Jiu: "..."
Zong Jiu: "You have all the memories of the devil. Rather than listening to the story, it's better to relive your scum deeds in the future, how about?"
