Chapter 263 263. Shadow

Suddenly, the corpse in front of the two people moved.

It's not that it gained life and sank downwards.

The shadow of the solid ground was now like a deep mud, swallowing up this corpse.

The little witch immediately took half a step back and tried to pull Qiao Mu away.

Qiao Mu saw that the shadow of the corpse seemed to be alive and spreading towards his shadow. The two merged and intertwined. Suddenly, Qiao Mu felt that the ground under his feet became soft, like the mud on the edge of the grass after the rain. .

"shadow!"

The little miko gave a hint.

Qiao Mu was unhurried.

I saw him lifting his legs slightly, and a head emerged from his shadow.

It was the head of a black-haired woman. She was still wearing a red wedding dress, but her whole body seemed to be covered with a gray filter, making the color dim.

"!!!"

The little witch was so frightened that she jumped up, thinking that some evil spirit had been seduced.

But the next moment, she saw the woman emerging from Qiao Mu's shadow with her mouth wide open.

One bite actually bit the shadow.

Sui——

She sucked it in like a noodle, and actually sucked all the shadows of the corpse into her mouth.

"?"

The little witch couldn't understand.

But her intuition told her that this woman probably had no ill intentions towards the two of them.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Ah Hui."

Qiao Mu knelt down and touched the ghost bride who half emerged from the shadow.

"H-hello?"

The little miko didn't know whether she should bow or not.

"It tastes terrible."

Ah Hui suddenly spoke, and in that chilling and cold tone, he spoke lines that were a bit out of line.

"After all, it has been stored for more than ten years, so it is probably going rancid."

Qiao Mu comforted her and let the ghost bride get back into her shadow.

"Thankfully this anomaly is a shadow, otherwise I wouldn't know how to deal with it."

He said as if he was really worried.

"."

The little witch finds it difficult to comment.

"Are you aware of this anomaly?"

Qiao Mu asked.

"I have heard some rumors that there were anomalies that lived in the shadows. They relied on the shadows to spread. Normally there is no harm. But once people notice that their shadows are moving on their own, they will be captured by it and devour their flesh and blood."

The little witch has not studied this anomaly in detail because it is of a relatively high level and cannot be examined by a B-level investigator like her.

As long as there are no memetic propagation characteristics of anomalies like this that are higher than the authority and are dangerous, seniors will more or less inform them, just in case they are blinded when they encounter them.

"It looks like this is the abnormality. Oh, by the way, although it looked like it was eaten just now, it was actually just sucked into Ah Hui's stomach and was temporarily restrained. It has not been solved!"

Qiao Mu also reminded specifically.

The rule of this shadow abnormality is to spread and spread through shadows, but shadows are produced by light, so Ah Hui sucked it into his stomach. Where there is no light, this abnormality cannot escape temporarily.

If you are a serious chosen one, you can avoid it by turning off the flashlight and plunge yourself into darkness. The containment method is probably to lock a possessed unlucky guy in a room without light.

".That's really dangerous."

The little witch felt that this shadow looked like the female ghost just now, and it was like a small shadow.

"So there is an anomaly hidden in this person's shadow. What do you think this means?"

Qiao Mu turned to ask.

"What does it mean?"

The little witch read it again.

".Meaning there is something abnormal here?"

She replied uncertainly.

“You and Island Culture’s education is really outstanding.”

Qiao Mu teased, and immediately explained before the little witch came back to her senses.

"It means no one has passed by here for a long time."

As long as someone passes by this shadow abnormality, there is a high probability that it will directly attack the opponent and devour them. Especially in this Ukiyoyama Research Institute, the people who can come must be the chosen one, and there will be no chance of being ignored.

Therefore, at least after the unfortunate investigator died here, few people should pass by this staircase.

"So what?"

The little witch still doesn't quite understand.

"You are stupid. We thought at first that people from the Toyotomi faction were still conducting research here all these years. Now it seems that they are very reluctant just to send people to check the situation. No one returns alive, so they can only surround the place. No one is allowed in or out.”

Qiao Mu explained.

If I thought the Toyotomi faction was bad before, now it seems that they may be more stupid.

"But that's not right. If they can't handle it, why don't they find other people to help? If nothing else, Toyotomi Lumen has a very good relationship with the Abandoned City Group, and there is investment from the Abandoned City Group here. Why don't they ask the Abandoned City Group? Someone to help with it?”

The little witch raised doubts.

"You are quite right, my good Watson."

Qiao Mu patted the little witch on the shoulder.

"Watson?"

"No, young people nowadays don't even know about Watson?"

Qiao Mu once again lamented the seriousness of the generation gap. When he was a student, he often took a magnifying glass and put two peaked caps on his head, one upside down and the other upside down, to cosplay Sherlock Holmes.

"You haven't aged much."

The little witch complained that the young man in front of her was only a year or two older than her, and what he said was only something that only an antique would read.

"Back to the topic, I think either Toyotomi Lumen thought he could handle it at first, but then he couldn't handle it and was too embarrassed to go to the Abandoned City Group to wipe his ass, or it was an order from the Abandoned City Group to tell them not to touch this place."

Qiao Mu guessed.

The former guess is that Toyotomi Lumei is stupid, and the latter guess is that the Abandoned City Group is bad.

Neither stupid nor bad.

"You'll know when you get down there."

He was about to continue going downstairs, but suddenly remembered something.

"Ah Hui."

Qiao Mu shouted.

The ghost bride poked her head out of the shadow again.

"what?"

An impatient voice sounded.

"You go ahead and explore the way, all the way to the fourteenth floor."

Qiao Mu felt that she had been really negligent just now, and she should have let people like Ah Hui explore the way first, and then go there in person when there were no problems.

"You have to pay more."

Ah Hui bargained.

"No problem, I'll satisfy you for whatever you want to eat for a week."

Qiao Mu said confidently.

The Ghost Bride immediately slipped into the shadows and crawled down the stairs.

"Is this your shikigami?"

The little witch asked curiously. In her opinion, there were too many strange things around Qiao Mu.

In Hejima culture, there are shikigami techniques that can absorb some shallow anomalies as one's own shikigami and drive them to possess animals and act. However, Qiao Mu's is obviously much more advanced. The female ghost just now even Quarrel with him.

In addition, the abnormality attached to Qiao Mu's body is also very strange, and seems to have its own will.

"Actually, I played them all myself. Although I don't have schizophrenia, I have a strong acting talent. Others praised me and said that I was born to win the Oscar for Best Actor."

Qiao Mu explained seriously.

"Who praises you so much?"

The little miko frowned.

"My primary school Chinese teacher."

Qiao Mu replied immediately.

".never mind."

The little miko decided not to continue arguing with him.

The two waited for a while, and Qiao Mu suddenly spoke.

"It's over."
