Vol 2 Chapter 2414: Creature hiding in the shadow

Chapter 2414: Creatures Hidden in the Shadows
On the silent corridor, Angel walked firmly in one direction.
"Are we going to find that strange fog?" Dan Gross returned to the night shelter, and asked Angel curiously.
Angel: "No, let's go to room 02 first."
"Don't deal with the fog?" Dan Gross continued.
Angel did not answer, because he has now reached 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 it is about ten meters away from the nearest ceiling light, which causes the light here to be a little dim. . However, it is not difficult to see the road, at most the shadows on the walls on both sides are magnified.
If you are not paying attention, you may ignore this dark area. However, Angel was very clear through the observation of the main control node that the door of Room 02 was actually hidden in the shadows.
Angel took a direct step towards the shadowed wall, and the whole person disappeared from the corridor as if melted in the shadow.
After Angel’s figure disappeared, a bit of starlight suddenly rose up in a corner of this shadow area, quietly watching the disappearance of Angel, from the frequency of its continuous flashing, it seemed to carry Unwilling, want to keep up.
But in the end, this star did not move forward, but drifted to the other side of the corridor and merged with other stars.
On the other side, after Angel walked into the shadows, the surrounding scenes immediately changed, and what appeared to him was a corridor that was darker than the outside.
This corridor also has a light source, but compared to the bright overhead 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 it is impossible to completely illuminate the corridor, at best it can guide the direction.
"Why is it so gloomy here?" Dangros looked around, muttering.
"Perhaps because the owner here is a shadow wizard." Angel replied as he walked forward.
Dangros has been following Angel during this time, and he has an understanding of some common sense in the wizarding world, and he also understands that the shadow wizard actually refers to the shadow wizard in the mysterious side. This type of wizard is relatively rare and is also called the shadow wizard.
"The shadow wizard likes a dim environment? Then why not just turn off the light and make it all black?"
Angel glanced at Dan Grosse's eyes and said softly: "Shadows are not darkness, but the dark side of light. If there is no light, where does the shadow exist?"
Dan Gross: "So there must be light, so that shadow wizards have meaning?"
Angel: "Of course not. One is the concept and the other is the reality. The concept is the goal and the principle of pursuit, and on the practical level, the endless darkness is indeed more suitable for the shadow wizard to exist."
Dangros could understand it before, but as soon as Angel explained it, he became incomprehensible.
Just as Dangros wanted to inquire further, they went to the first oil lamp.
Dangros 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 soars when it is burning, and occasionally falls back. This causes Angel's shadow to flicker constantly, high and low, and long and short.
"Unpredictable is also the nature of shadows." Angel also saw the pulsating shadows on the ground, and said, "However, compared to unpredictable, the most well-known nature of shadows is concealment."
Angel continued to walk forward, while Dan Gross continued to stare at the shadows on the ground, until they left the light source and the shadows were submerged by darkness, Dan Gross did not raise his head.
It turned around, trying to say something to Angel.
But before it could speak, he found that Angel suddenly stood still. But the footsteps did not stop, and another "Angel" was continuing to move forward.
Dangros saw this familiar scene and immediately understood what Angel wanted to do.
Whether it was encountering X0 or the later Firescale Envoy, Dangros had experienced this situation several times. Angel's deity watched leisurely by the side, while the illusion deceived the enemy.
Now Angel has separated the illusion again, which has already explained everything.
Dangros was staring at the shadows on the ground before, not because he was attracted by the dynamism, but he found some strange traces. Now, Angel apparently also discovered hiding in the shadows.
Dan Gross silently watched "Angel" as he went further and further away. Although it has been through this scene several times, it makes it feel emotional every time.
When meeting X0, a little sound creates an illusion. When confronting the firescale envoy, you step forward at will, and you are divided into the true and the illusion in the fire.
This time too, the real body and the illusion alternate seamlessly as the light and shadow change.
This illusion ability is simply impossible to guard against.
Even Dan Gross, who was staying with Angel, couldn't help but mourn for the enemy. Even if the other party tried their best and eventually defeated Angel's illusion, the new Angel, can you be sure that it is real?
In Dan Grosse's emotion, "Angel" has already reached the middle of the two light sources, which is the darkest part of this corridor.
When the darkness was at its peak, the existence hidden in the shadows finally couldn't help showing their fangs.
The silent smirk converged all malice, turned the shadow into a sharp edge, and silently inserted it toward Angel's vest.
If the opponent is not aiming at an illusion, then this can be called a good assassination.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Dan Gross has no need to look at the latter situation. When the hideous and self-righteous hideous in the shadows encounter the illusion of playing cards unreasonably, the result is naturally that the illusion wins.
However, the winning process is longer than that of X0 and Firescale Servant.
The main reason was that it was not the strength of the opponent, but that Anger did not kill. Compared to killing the existence in the shadow, Anger wanted to catch it, which led to longer fighting.
Of course, the opponent's strength is also quite good, even if it does not reach the level of X0, but it is not far away. It's worse than the formal wizard, but it's much better than the wizard apprentice.
About five minutes later, the existence in the shadow was finally whipped out of the entity by the phantom limbs. In the circle of fire created by Dangros, it shivered and dared not move.
With the dazzling flame of the ring of fire, Dangros finally saw the true face of the other party at this time.
It was a round black shadow curled up in the center of the circle of fire. Its interior looked like a black tide was surging, but the overall shape remained relatively stable.
Because the whole body is black, and it can be stretched and curled up, it is impossible to distinguish the specific appearance. The only external features that can be seen are the watery eyes with a large area and the mouth that always keeps a smirk.
Dangros looked at it again and again, then hesitated: "This looks a bit like the creature described by the mascot in the mind band before, it's the one they encountered on the second floor..."
Angel: "Shadow Demon."
Dan Gross: "Yes, this is it!"
Dan Gross still remembered that Nis was still wailing for most of the day because the Shadow Demon was killed by Kanter.
"Shadow Demon can assist in the cultivation of Shadow Demon, and its value is quite high." Anger explained casually. It is precisely because of this characteristic of Shade Demon that Angel tried his best to catch it before. Not to kill it.
Dan Gross nodded, and Nis had indeed said this in the soul tie before. Nis also wanted to catch the Shadow Demon, but the Shadow Demon had already invaded the soul of the mascot, and Kanter had no choice but to kill the Shadow Demon.
"This is the shadow wizard's room, so that said, the shadow wizard on the second floor was really made by the shadow wizard?"
Angel: "It should be."
Dan Gross turned his head to look at the trembling Shadow Demon in the ring of fire: "Then shall we torture him? Maybe he knows something about the Shadow Wizard?"
Angel shook his head.
Shadow demons are low-intellectual beings. Although they have the ability to communicate, their communication is through certain signals in the shadows. This is the secret that shadow wizards can master, and other people can't communicate with it at all.
So, torture? nonexistent.
Angel took out a self-luminous crystal and quickly melted into a hollow sphere, like a large circular incandescent bulb.
Immediately afterwards, he manipulated the phantom limbs to wrap the revealing shadow demon, and then stuffed it into the glowing orb.
Put the lid on and it's done.
To capture this kind of shadow creatures, just create a ball of light to trap them. In a ball of light with no dead ends and no shadows, they can only curl up at the very center and dare not move at all.
Putting the Shadow Demon into the bracelet, Angel continued on.
He very much hopes to meet a few more shadow monsters, this kind of rare creature that has been almost half extinct in the Southern Territory and has not been discovered for a hundred years, naturally the more the better.
But Angel also understood that this one would be the only one. Because when he was observing room 02 in the master control node before, he faintly discovered that there seemed to be a strange creature in room 02.
At that time, it was not sure what it was, but now it seems that it should be the Shadow Demon.
In fact, this is also the reason why Angel chose to come to Room 02 first.
Previously, through the observation of the fifth floor by the main control node, except for the firescale envoy, the strange creature in Room 02 that had life fluctuations on the bright surface of the entire fifth floor.
After the death of the firescale envoy, the shadow of fog appeared. Through some judgments of psychological evidence, Angel guessed that the shadow of the fog is a kind of semi-emptiness, and if he wants to affect the material world, he may have to possess a creature.
As for the entire fifth floor, the creature that can be possessed by the shadow of the fog on the bright surface is the strange creature in Room 02.
This is the reason why Angel came to Room 02 first.
I thought that I might encounter the shadow of the fog again here, but now it seems that the shadow of the fog has not come to Room 02. Perhaps it is because it doesn't know that there is a shadow demon that can only possess a body? Or, in other words, its power has not reached the level of possessing a shadow demon?
No matter what the answer is, at least Angel has solved a hidden danger now. If the shadow of the fog can really possess the shadow demon, the terrifying blessing of the shadow of the fog to the organism, and its treacherous character, the battle will definitely not be as easy as it is now.
Although the Shadow of the Fog is not in Room 02, it does not matter. Angel has no eagerness to find and solve the shadow of the fog.
The superficial reason is that the shadow of the fog is not laboratory, and its purpose may not 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 weird, and when he expressed his intention to kill the foggy shadow before, there were some unreasonable signs in his heart.
These signs are not dangerous, but they seem to be preventing Angel from killing it.
Of course, this is only Angel's ideal feeling, it is really unreal, even Angel himself cannot guarantee.
But he is willing to obey the will of his heart, as long as the shadow of the fog no longer provokes, he does not want to deliberately seek to deal with it.
...
Moving on, after a few 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 of the corridor.
There are a lot of light sources in the main hall, but these light sources are not completely illuminated. Instead, they are blocked by some room designs and only play a role of one or two.
This leads to more light sources, more light, more cover, more crops, and more shadows.
It can be said that the whole hall has a very unique light and shadow style. There are cut angles of light and shadow everywhere, and some of the light and shadow are even geometrically symmetrical, which makes Angel amazed.
However, Angel's main purpose 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 worried that the Firescale Envoy came to Room 02 and burned these books, but now he is saved.
Anger picked up a book on the nearby Silver White Island at random, flipped through it for a while, and then put it down.
"Yayutou", a best-selling magazine from the night language forest, is very popular among witches.
There are dozens of books on Nakajima, all of them are "Yayuu".
Maybe it was a related magazine bought on the 02 to understand the wizarding world of the Southern Territory? Or, is it an unknown hobby of 02?
Angel turned around again, manipulating five magical hands at the same time, flipping through the books in the main hall.
It's a pity that there is basically no information he wants to find here, but more travel notes and gossip magazines that are very partial and feminine.
However, if Angel remembers correctly, 03 seems to have said that 02 is a man?
Of course, these books are not completely useless. There are some magazines, although they tend to gossip, Angel can be sure that he has never heard of similar magazines in Southern Territory before.
For example, "Lost Poems", the name sounds like an epic story, but it is actually a magazine that explores witches' personal affairs.
After opening, the first article is called "The Oath of the Bloody Moon".
