Chapter 356 Louise's Diary
【The appearance of the alchemy remains makes you realize that this paper mill relies on robots to operate, which makes it possible for you to use the TK2300 skin to sneak in secretly. 】
【You were about to act, when you suddenly noticed an unidentified flying object approaching in the sky. You choose...]
"UFO?"
Mu You was already ready to start, but a new text just popped up, so he had to wait.
【You chose to wait and see. 】
【The flying object approaches, and you can see clearly that it is a dilapidated airship, shaped like a metal-covered airship, with smoke rings spewing from the chimneys around it, flying unsteadily from the sky. 】
【A moment later, the airship landed in the open space in front of Luke's compound. 】
【A delivery man stepped out of the driver's seat, opened the hatch, and took out all the goods in the storage box. 】
【Racks of brand-new cleaning robots were stacked on the ground. 】
When Mu You saw the airship, he thought it was another goblin, but he was just a human delivering goods. It seems that this person should be the supplier of the robot in Luke's house. He just happened to catch up with the delivery The time of handover.
This is so much easier!
【While the two sides were talking, you switched to the TK2300 skin, disguised as a cleaning robot, and slowly approached the pile of goods. 】
【You came to the goods and squeezed into a bunch of unactivated sweeping robots, perfectly blending in. 】
【You heard the conversation between the two in front of you. 】
【"... Recently, the quality of this robot is very poor. The last batch of robots was scrapped after only half a month. Tell me honestly, is the one you sold me a defective product?"】
【"Nonsense, do you think there are still robots produced now? These are genuine products sent directly from Clockwork City!"】
["If you don't want to buy it, forget it. To tell you the truth, there seems to be an accident in Clockwork City. The goblins disappeared overnight. The supply of goods has been cut off. In the future, there will be no more robots. This batch here is the last batch of goods, if you don’t buy it, people will buy it…”]
…
Mu You saw in the text that two people were arguing non-stop, one wanted to lower the price and the other wanted to raise the price. After arguing for half an hour, they finally reached an agreement: buy all the cleaning robots at the price of each unit with a 10-year lifespan.
【You see that the two parties have reached a deal, and the delivery man boards the airship and leaves. 】
【Luke walked out of the yard pushing a cart, and loaded the robots on the ground onto the cart one by one. 】
【Luke counted, and there was a chuckle on his face: "This delivery guy doesn't know how to count. He paid for fifteen sets, but gave sixteen sets. He deserves to lose money..."]
【You and other robots were transported by cart, came to the interior of the paper mill, and stopped in front of the third row of paper cabinets on the north wall. 】
【Luke walked to the container and knocked three times on the wooden cabinet. 】
【A few seconds later, the container moved away automatically, and a tunnel entrance emerged in the exposed space. 】
【A man with a height of two meters and a thin body like a stick came out of the tunnel. 】
【"Sir, this is a new batch of goods, please have a look." Luke's voice. 】
【The hemp stick man heard the words and went to the cart, used the floating spell to take down the robots one by one, and inspected them one by one. 】
【Your disguise is quite perfect, and he didn't see anything abnormal. 】
【You notice that there is a shadow under this person's feet, but it also does not match his figure: it is the shadow of a short boy. 】
【After the hemp man checked, he was going to take the robot back to the tunnel. 】
【Seeing that the stick man was about to leave, Luke hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and asked flatteringly: "My lord, my shadow, when do you see..."】
【"What's the hurry?" The stick man glared at Luke displeasedly: "There are still a bunch of people queuing up now, besides, your contribution value is not enough, work hard, and when your contribution reaches the standard, it will naturally be assigned to you." shadow."】
【"Understand, understand!" Luke hurriedly nodded and bowed, not daring to ask any more questions. 】
"Shadow? Do you mean Shadow Ghost?"
Mu You frowned. Does this mean that the undead will distribute the shadow ghosts as rewards to the people below?
If the members of the Undead Society have mastered the technology of controlling shadow ghosts and can graft shadow ghosts into other people's shadows at will, it means that there may already be many shadow ghosts in the Undead Society, which can be used as practical combat power...
【You were manipulated by the levitation technique, and you followed the stick man into a deep tunnel. 】
【After a long transfer, you came to an empty underground factory. The surrounding roads are well-structured and extend in all directions. The roads on both sides are brightly lit, and there are a lot of rooms along the sides of the passage. 】
[The magan man gave an order to all the cleaning robots around him to start working: "Your job is to clean up the rotten weeds that grow on the walls of the buildings in the underground palace, and transport the scattered insect corpses, household garbage, etc... the entire underground palace It is divided into five areas, east, west, north, south, and middle. To replenish energy, go to the energy room in the central area. You do not have a fixed work area. All buildings within sight are your cleaning area. But remember, the marked area on the west has no Order not to step in!"]
The hemp man assigned a bunch of tasks to the robot as soon as he arrived. Obviously, this underground factory produces a lot of garbage every day, requiring so many cleaning robots to work non-stop.
But at the end, the other party specifically mentioned that they are not allowed to go to the marked area in the west area, that is to say, there are probably important things in the west!
【The cleaning robots announced the mechanical sound of 'received the order and started working', and the tracks rolled and scattered to the surrounding passages. 】
【You are also mixed among the robots, driving to one of the passages...】
Mu You didn't rush to the west district, the defense might be very strict there, he just arrived here, so he explored the surroundings first, and figured out the situation before talking.
【You clear the debris on the ground along the passage while exploring forward. You find a lot of insect shells and insect corpses scattered on the side of the road, and a moss-like plant grows on the stone walls on both sides. 】
[This is the unique 'rotten weed' in the humid underground environment, which can provide food for various insects, and the corpses of insects can in turn provide fertilizer for the rotten weed. If it is not cleaned regularly, the insects in the underground palace will be destroyed. A large number of breeding...]
This kind of rotten grass is obviously the main content of the work of the cleaning robots. Of course, Mu You has no time to act as a cleaner for them, but he still needs to do what he should do.
In the robot form, there is no scruples about mobility, and then Mu You pretended to be 'clean' all the way, and by the way ran rampant in the 'North District', exploring around.
After turning around a little bit, he found that the northern area was like a self-sufficient small village, with a huge area, including confinement areas, living areas, dormitory areas, and amusement parks, but it seemed that the entire area was abandoned. There are houses left unoccupied.
After Mu You explored all the way, all the houses were empty, and he didn't meet a living person.
After searching for the whole afternoon, Mu You almost explored this area, and finally found a place that interested him.
【You find an abandoned storage room ahead. 】
【You go to the door and look in through the crack of the rotten wooden door, and find that there are piles of **** inside, which seem to be children's toys. The surface of all objects is covered with dust, indicating that it has been abandoned for at least a year. 】
Looking at the latest text, Mu You's heart moved. All the children's toys are stored here, so maybe you can find Louise's things in it!
【You searched around, and after confirming that no one was approaching, you switched back to the vampire skin. 】
【You cast the unlocking spell on the old wooden door, and the lock opened with a sound. 】
【You enter the storage room, look at the garbage all over the floor, wave your wand, release the search spell, and search for: Corday Louise. 】
【Golden runes gushed out from the tip of your wand, covering all the items in the room, and all kinds of information hovered in front of you like a kaleidoscope...】
【Successful Search: You found an item about Corday Louise. 】
【You searched along the guide, opened the garbage all over the floor, and finally found an old rag doll from a rotten box at the bottom. 】
【This is just a very ordinary sewing doll, but you noticed that the doll's belly feels a bit angular. You tore open the doll's belly, and sure enough, you found a folded piece of paper in the cotton wool, with crooked words written all over it. 】
【The paper has turned yellow and has become tattered under the corrosion of water vapor, but you can still vaguely recognize the content on it. 】
[Fragmented pages of Louise's diary: Corday Louise has always had the habit of keeping a diary. She recorded the encounters here, and when she sensed danger, she wrote down some of the residual pages containing important information. Pages are hidden in various parts of the underground palace. If you find these broken pages, you may be able to restore her original experience. 】
[...Recently, there have been some voices of resistance in the hospital, and I knew that I was not the only one who couldn't stand it... A dozen of us secretly conspired, and decided to join forces to resist before the next treatment, and escape from this ghost place... I also invited Mianmian to act with us, but Mianmian refused me, and persuaded us to give up and not do stupid things, they would never let us escape, the result of pursuing hope will only bring greater results Despair, this is their real purpose... I understand what she means, maybe she is right, but I can't stand it anymore, if I continue, I will go crazy, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I want to try it , so tonight, be free or die...
—4/8】
4-8, that is to say, there are eight pages in total, and this is the fourth page.
The contents of the diary are very small. It seems that a group of children were preparing to resist, and finally stopped abruptly. The result is unknown, but I can also imagine that most of them failed.
What first caught Mu You's attention was the mention of the person 'Mian Mian' in this diary.
Mian Mian is exactly the name Ye Rumeng said when she introduced her sister.
Mu You immediately opened the entrance of the space backpack, came to the little girl's room, and was going to ask her about her sister.
As a result, no one was in the room.
He searched in the backpack in the zoo again, but couldn't find Ye Rumeng.
Mu You didn't care either. She probably fell asleep and automatically entered the dream space on the other side. The little girl often disappeared, and he was already familiar with it.
Leaving the space, Mu Youben planned to continue the game.
As soon as he picked up the phone, he suddenly felt a strong vibration from something on his body.
Mu You checked it hastily, and the source of the fluctuation was the shadow ghost box.
However, this time the shadow ghost didn't show anxiety and anger towards him like before, but more like begging him to let it out.
Mu You was surprised that Shadow Ghost would beg for mercy?
The shadow ghost is the embodiment of tyranny and negative emotions. It is said that it has no wisdom and can only be driven by the killing instinct. However, since the last time the shadow ghost devoured the soul of the ghost under the sea, fell into a deep sleep and woke up, it seems to have a certain amount of reason. , usually in a very calm state most of the time, and will not get angry at every turn.
But regardless of whether it is sane or not, it is impossible to release it. The consequences of releasing a shadow ghost in a densely populated city are incalculable.
Mu You decisively wanted to take the Shadow Ghost back, but at this moment, the Shadow Ghost stopped begging immediately, and started hitting the box frantically, but it was not hitting the exit of the box, but a different direction.
"Where do you want me to take you?" Mu You looked at the shadow ghost in the box strangely.
The shadow ghost rushed to hit more violently.
"Fine…"
After thinking about it, Mu You decided to go and have a look. He must first confirm the reason for its sudden madness.
It was already evening at this time, Mu You closed the door of the shop, went out incognito, and headed towards the direction indicated by Shadow Ghost.
…
At the same time, in another corner of the city, on the roof of a certain 100-meter-tall building.
Under the dark sky, a young man with glasses and a middle-aged man stood on the edge of the building, overlooking the bustling night scene of K City.
Below the two of them, lay a man in black, his whole body was wrapped in an illusory chain, his mouth was blocked, and he could only wriggle desperately on the ground.
"The person who asked you to investigate, how is the investigation going?" the young man asked.
"That person's information was hidden by the Celestial Dynasty officials, and nothing was found..." the middle-aged man said awkwardly.
"Forget it, it's important to find No. 14."
"Young master, but we... really want to do this?" The middle-aged man looked at the man in black on the ground in embarrassment. This person was still his subordinate yesterday, but now he will be treated as a victim.
"There's no time left."
The young man shook his head: "Those fools parked the Sky City directly above our heads. They must have a plan. I need to go back as soon as possible. Before that, the only way to find No. 14 is to do so."
"This is too risky, the people of the Celestial Dynasty will not let us go..." the middle-aged man sighed.
"It doesn't matter. No. 14 is the most perfect work so far. As long as I find it, my last piece of the puzzle is completed. After that, it doesn't matter to us to make trouble whatever they want." The young man said.
"But... are you sure it will come if you do this?" the middle-aged man asked.
"It will come, as long as it is still in K City..."
As the young man spoke, the shadows behind him began to change rapidly. Men, women, old and young, tall, low, fat, and thin, kept switching shapes until they turned into the shape of a curly-haired girl, and finally stopped.
The young man kicked the man in black off the building.
The man in black fell straight down with a desperate expression.
"Go, Louise, call your best friend and see if it will come for you..."
Accompanied by the young man's voice, the shadow behind him quickly left him, turned into a black shadow, and rushed towards the falling man in black below.
A few seconds later, the man in black fell to the ground, causing screams from passers-by below, and the nearby pedestrians panicked to evade.
After another tens of seconds, the man in black who had fallen to the ground and died suddenly stood up. His appearance slowly changed, and finally he turned into a girl surrounded by thick black energy.
The black air entangled and gathered around the girl's body, and finally condensed into a five-meter-high black ghost. The ghost opened its blood-red eyes, curled up its sharp claws, and let out a roar.
