Chapter 1384: Murder in the Dark (It always rains when I go out these days)
It was an ordinary night in March City.
Under the night, neon lights flash, and men and women coming and going on the bustling streets enjoy the crazy nightlife.
They never noticed that darkness was quietly coming to them.
"Hey hey hey..."
Walking into the hotel with the girl beside him in his arms, the man dressed as an office worker showed a proud smile. Originally I was just taking advantage of my drunkenness to strike up a conversation with the female high school student sitting in front of the statue in the square outside the station, but I didn't expect that the other party would be so proactive.
She may look like a good **** the outside, but her children are really amazing now.
Looking at the girl next to him and smelling the sweet scent emanating from her body, the office worker felt that he was ready to make a move and couldn't wait. He opened the room as quickly as possible, then pulled the girl and walked straight in. Without even having time to lock the door, he hugged the girl in front of him tightly in his arms.
"Ah...that's great."
Feeling the youthful touch in his arms, the office worker felt that his saliva was about to flow out. He took a deep breath, then lowered his head and blocked the girl's lips.
"Uh-huh... uh-huh..."
The girl just stood there, motionless, letting the office worker touch her. However, just as the office worker's hands were about to take off the girl's uniform, his movements suddenly stopped. Then the office worker suddenly struggled and pushed back in terror. At the same time, a sticky tentacle suddenly appeared between the girl and the office worker!
"Woo...Woo..."
The office worker wanted to break free, but the tongue sticking out of the girl's mouth was like a giant python, directly inserted deeply into the office worker's throat. At the same time, the girl stretched out her hands and grabbed the office worker's arm - those slender, seemingly fragile hands were like iron pliers, tightly restraining the office worker's movements. The office worker's struggle became more and more fierce, and then he was "caught" by the tentacle that went deep into his throat, like a fish that was hooked, and kept shaking in the air!
"Woo! Woooooo...!!"
Under the pink light, the shadows of office workers reflected on the wall were struggling crazily. On the other side, the body of the girl who was entangled with him gradually began to deform, and then several tentacles emerged and rushed towards the office worker again!
Finally, with an almost roaring cry, the office worker's figure completely merged with the tentacles.
However, this is not the end.
"Whoa!"
Accompanied by a flash of icy cold light and a scream, the woman collapsed to the ground. She looked at her daughter in surprise, not knowing how to react for a moment.
"Ma, Mariko, what are you doing?"
The woman could not understand why her well-behaved and obedient daughter would point a kitchen knife at her.
"What's going on? What's wrong with you? Answer me? Mariko!"
Facing the woman's scream, the girl in front of her didn't hesitate at all.
Although she killed her mother with her own hands, the girl in front of her didn't feel sad at all. She stood up and stretched out her hand to point at her mother's body. Immediately afterwards, a faint white light emerged from the girl's body.
"Click."
With a flash of light like a flashlight, the next moment, the elongated shadow illuminated by the light behind the girl began to boil. Thick shadows surged up like boiling water bubbles, and then condensed to form the appearance of a woman. Then the woman whose shadow was condensed walked forward and came to the side of her other self. Then she squatted down and stretched out her hand to press on the still warm body.
"Click."
With another flash of light, the body originally lying on the floor completely disappeared, leaving only a circle of dark, as if burned, traces of a human figure. Then, the woman stood up, closed her eyes and thought for a moment.
"My name is Yoshino Rimi, 36 years old, full-time housewife."
As she spoke, the woman turned around and looked at the girl, then smiled.
"Mariko, you're back. Please wait a moment. Dinner will be ready soon."
"Dad hasn't come back yet?"
"Well, it's about that time..."
At this moment, the sound of a key opening the door suddenly came from the entrance door, followed by a deep voice.
"I'm back!"
Hearing this voice, the woman and her daughter looked at each other, then she reached out and picked up another kitchen knife on the chopping board, and then the mother and daughter turned around and left the kitchen.
"You're back, honey."
"You're back, Dad."
Under the dark night, similar scenes are constantly being played out. The shadows kill their classmates and family members, then scan them, then copy them, and then let the copied shadows eat the original body, thus completely replacing the original existence.
A big net of shadow is slowly opening up around the entire city, covering everything in it.
But it's not enough.
As the core of the main body and shadow network, Duanmu Huai can naturally feel the information flowing along with it. But he won't change his decision because of this. Of course, these people are innocent, but as a judge, the innocent people who died in Duanmu Huai's hands are no less than the guilty ones. Each extermination order means the destruction of tens of billions of innocent lives, but their destruction is for the survival of more humans.
For the Inquisition, this was a necessary sacrifice.
But then again, the shadow ability is really dangerous.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but recall the situation when he first obtained this ability. Fortunately, the old ruler was seriously injured and the location was an isolated island. Otherwise, if the opponent appears in full form, this move alone will force Duanmu Huai to issue an extermination order, if nothing else.
However, this infection is still too slow.
Duanmuhuai knew that Shadow's ultimate method was to completely liberate, that is, to liberate all the information in one go, forming a torrent that could completely swallow up and copy the entire city. It's just that the information he has collected at the moment is not enough. As long as the amount of information is large enough, Duanmu Huai can directly activate this ultimate move and completely devour the entire city. Well, this can be regarded as a different kind of extermination order.
Fortunately, it's not entirely without reward. At least according to the news Duanmu Huai received from Shadow, these Shoggoths were ordered not to leave the city, apparently in preparation for a certain ceremony. Otherwise, if one of these guys escapes, it will be a big trouble.
The entire operation lasted all night, and there were many shadows who were out looking for prey. They met Shoggoths who were also looking for victims, and then started fighting. But for now, shadow still has an overwhelming advantage. After all, shadow is almost invincible in the dark night, and for now, shadow can copy humans who have been eroded by Shoggoths. The Shoggoths, however, cannot in turn erode the copy copied by the shadow.
Hmm... After all, from a level perspective, shadow is still higher and belongs to the information level. Although Shoggoths are twisted and weird, they are still biologically weak and inherently weaker than Shadows.
This is normal. Apart from the ability to mimic, the Shoggoths are just servants created by the Ancient One. There is no comparison with other true descendants of the Old Ones or Outer Gods.
Of course, the threat to humans is already great enough.
Duanmu Huai is currently most concerned about the things hidden behind these guys. After all, Shoggoths can't resist the copying of shadows, so if the shadow they copied before was destroyed, it means that there must be an alien **** or something with powerful old power behind it, but I don't know which one.
After all, there are too many weird things in this world.
But at least it is certain that the opponent is not weak, otherwise it would be impossible to fight against Duan Muhuai's shadow copy.
March City is a small town with a population of 300,000 people. Even if Duanmuhuai is fully activated, it is impossible to infect everyone in the city in a short period of time. And just in case, the shadow will not move randomly during the day. After all, once the opponent discovers Shadow's weakness, it will be in trouble.
Similarly, the Shoggoths will not act during the day, which is a good tacit understanding. The two sides had a truce during the day, and then fought to the death at night.
In fact, if it were those smart people, there might be better ways to use it, but for Duanmu Huai... well, this is enough.
The end result is death anyway, it doesn't matter how you die, as long as you die.
Early the next morning, the Food Detective and the Idol Detective went to work after breakfast. Of course, Duanmu Huai had already told Shadow not to do anything to them. So logically speaking, these two should be safe, so Duanmu Huai is not particularly worried. As for him, he slept until noon, then got up to eat, take a bath and change clothes, then picked up his mobile phone to video chat with Sha Jiuye, and teased the red panda - originally, Duanmu Huai had nothing else to do now. Dry. The plan can be completed by those shadows. Now he only needs to control the overall situation from behind and see how long the other party can endure...
"I heard what Alice said about the situation. Is it so serious over there? Brother, will you be okay?"
While teasing the red panda, Shajiuye looked at Duanmuhuai on the other side of the video, and the latter shrugged.
"Fortunately, it's not a big problem."
"Alice has been worried about whether the infection will spread over there..."
"Don't worry, I found the notes written by Dr. Benna. According to his experiments, this thing is like a hive, with a total brain. As long as I destroy that brain, all those monsters will die."
Duanmu Huai made up a lie casually. Of course, this was done for the sake of artistry in the movie. But there is no such good thing in reality, let's just dream about it.
However, Duanmu Huai was originally there to comfort Shajiuye, so naturally he didn't need to consider the rationality, he could just make it up like a movie.
"call……"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Shajiuye also breathed a sigh of relief.
"How's the situation over there?"
"Everything is fine here, nothing unusual - ah, by the way, the band has gained a lot of fans since the band ended, and Hongxia has also started to prepare for the next concert."
"Then they have to check the weather forecast this time."
"Ah ha ha ha..."
With the lesson learned last time, they should not forget it this time.
In this way, Duanmuhuai and Shajiuye chatted aimlessly to pass the time until the food detective and idol detective came back.
"Nothing special to gain."
The idol detective was a little crestfallen.
"The other party is very alert, but I don't dare to alert the enemy. So far, I have only found some scraps, but no valuable information."
"I did find out some information."
In contrast, the food detective who was eating from the Family Bucket was much prouder. Seeing him holding the Family Bucket and drinking happy water made people feel full just looking at him.
"As for the origin of the care foundation, I did some research and found that there was only a very small amount of government funds, and most of the funds came from a company called Jiumen Club. It is a local company, mainly engaged in ocean shipping."
"Ocean shipping?"
"Yes, many council members in the city government are inextricably linked to Jiumen Enterprises... After all, elections cost money."
"Hmm... It seems that this Jiumen family is very interesting."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes. Although this family seemed to be nothing special on the surface, Duanmu Huai immediately became vigilant after an ocean shipping trip.
After all... who knows what weird gadgets these guys will bring back from overseas to commit suicide.
"Should we follow up on this lead?"
"I'm going to check it out and see if I can find anything."
Duanmuhuai made a decision, and at the same time he gave orders to the shadows in his heart.
Tonight, it's time to take action against the Jiumen family!
