Chapter 364 Tampered memory
【You were resurrected in the watchman's cabin. 】
Luckily, the administrator in green seemed to be an old shadow ghost with him, his strength was very weak, far inferior to the Granny Tang I met before, and he directly killed him with a cannonball.
Came back to his senses, Mu You first checked the loot dropped by the kill.
The drop just now, in addition to the clues in the music box, also has an extra thing that the shadow ghost exploded.
【Shadow Ghost Remains: The remains left after the death of the Shadow Ghost. It looks like a wriggling phantom. According to the strength of the Shadow Ghost, after fusion, it can slightly increase the strength of your shadow, thereby indirectly increasing the ability of your body. After the fusion, the life value will be permanently +56 points (the upper limit of the increase of similar effects is 5000 points), so that you can gain the ability to control the shape and direction of the shadow, and enable your shadow to move out of the body for a short time, and the longest time out of the body is one hour every 24 hours , if the shadow does not return to the creature for more than an hour, it disappears permanently. 】
The remnants of shadow ghosts, the description is gaudy, Mu You tried to click it out to have a look.
A wriggling phantom appeared on the ground. It looked like a slime, but it was illusory, without substance, and without weight.
Mu You tried to walk under the phantom, and this thing actively merged into his shadow and disappeared, while his shadow seemed to be a little more solid.
Mu You glanced at the phone again, and it really reminded him that his health had increased by 56 points.
"Is the shadow out of body..."
Looking at the instructions in the game, Mu You tried to concentrate and connect his consciousness to the shadow.
The next moment, the shadow began to change shape, from a human shape to an ellipse, and then turned into a thin line according to his mind, and could rotate around his body at will.
After a few seconds, the shadow left directly under its feet, swam around the wall in the room, and finally returned to him.
After simple attempts, Mu You has already initially understood the changes in his shadow. Simply put, as long as he concentrates, he can make his shadow into a manipulable state.
When the shadow is out of the body, it is equivalent to the existence of a clone. He can share the perspective of the shadow, and can use the property of the shadow to have no collision volume to drill into some places that humans cannot reach to conduct investigations and other work.
Unfortunately, they can only leave the body for an hour at most, and they have learned from the time they captured Uchimura before that the shadow of leaving the body will also be injured normally, which greatly limits the use of this ability.
Of course, the original text in the explanation is that 'the shadow does not return to the creature for more than an hour' before it disappears, that is to say, after the shadow leaves the body, it does not have to return to the body, as long as it becomes the shadow of another creature up.
This is also the principle that those shadow people can cast their shadows on the earth: by making human beings into "ghost skins", as long as these shadows are transformed into the corresponding "skin" shape, a real human can be generated on the shadows, by disguising as This human shadow can make these shadows leave the body for a long time and live in another world.
Of course, Mu You does not have this kind of shadow ghost skin, so his shadow cannot last long after leaving the body, and must return to the body as soon as possible. This ability is better than nothing for him.
What is really useful about this thing is that it adds health to him. Even though it is only 56 points, the upper limit is indicated later. By killing Shadow Ghost, he can increase his upper limit of life by up to 5000 points. This value is very impressive!
But having said that, he also killed two shadow ghosts on the earth before, the giant shadow ghost and the muscular shadow ghost in K City, including Uchimura who was captured after coming to Japan, but none of these shadow ghosts remained after death This shadow wreck.
The only difference between them and this old shadow ghost is that these three shadow ghosts were all killed on the earth.
From this point of view, it should be possible to drop this thing only by killing shadow ghosts in the Astral Realm.
After watching the changes in the shadow, Mu You looked back at his phone and continued to count the harvest.
【You opened the 'clue hidden in the music box', which is a neatly folded note. 】
【Fragmented pages of Louise's diary. 】
【...I have been arrested here for three full years. A few days ago, I was told by the administrator that my 'condition' had deteriorated and I needed to leave here and move to a hospital in the West District to receive deeper 'treatment'. To leave Mianmian is a huge bad news for me. She is my spiritual pillar here. Without her, I don’t know how to live here in the future...Mianmian comforted me and promised to wait for me in the future. We got cured and left here, as long as I need to call her loudly, no matter how far away she is, she will definitely come to see me...
Two days later, I was taken to a newly built hospital in the West District. The brand new room was much larger than before, but it became a double bedroom. The girl is only seven years old, and her name is Sayaka. She seems to have just come here, shivering in the corner of the wall in fear all day long, like a cute and pitiful little rabbit. What's more troublesome is that what she speaks is not Astronomical, but It’s a language I’ve never heard before, so we can’t communicate with each other... Fortunately, the administrator sent a prop that allows people to communicate directly with each other, which lifted the language barrier... After I communicated with Sayaka, I found that we have many preferences On the one hand, it seems to be an unexpected fit... After a few days of getting along, Sayaka became very clingy to me and admired me very much. I enjoyed this feeling and treated her as my own sister... Now I have lost sleep, but But I have a new goal, which is to protect Sayaka to live here...
—6/8】
The sixth page of the diary, this diary spans a long period of time. Three years later, Louise changed her residence and separated from Mianmian, but at the same time welcomed a new roommate. The new character 'Sayaka' is mentioned in the seven pages of the diary.
It is specifically mentioned in the diary that Sayexiang does not speak the language of the astral, but another language, which makes Mu You more convinced that this Sayexiang may be an earthling who was kidnapped to the astral world through a space crack .
And Louise entered the underground factory four years ago, three years later in the diary, that is, one year ago.
Mu You opened the exchange group group, called up the missing persons database shared by Japan, and searched for the three conditions of 'Sayaka', '6-8 years old', and 'before 10-15 months'.
However, the search results are empty.
Mu You tried to relax some conditions again, but the result was still the same. Among the missing persons, there were quite a few people named Sayaka, but the youngest one was over 13 years old, which obviously didn't match.
Did you guess wrong, not Japanese? Or is Sayaka not actually her real name?
Mu You couldn't be sure for a while.
In any case, with the discovery of the sixth page of the diary, he has already found the first seven pages of the eight pages of the diary, and finally gradually connected them into a complete story, telling the story of the three days after Louise entered the factory. Through her perspective, what happened during the past year revealed the darkness in the undead society. Seeing the big from the small, she could also think of what happened to other captured children in the undead society.
The eighth page that is still missing at the end is the most important page, because this page should tell the ending of Louise and how the shadow ghost was created.
It's a pity that now that his identity is exposed, those shadow people have begun to be wary of the existence of mechanical life forms, and it is almost impossible to sneak into the ground.
In the next day, Muyou game resumed the two points and one line life of the academy and the dungeon.
Now the progress of Dawn City dungeon has advanced to the fourth floor.
Yes, the boss on the third floor had already been killed by a wasteland reclamation team ahead of time. Mu You was not too surprised by this. After all, he had spent most of his energy on the Undead Society these days, and he didn't pay much attention to the dungeon. It's normal to be first.
After a few days of adaptation, the land reclamation team system organized by the major forces is now basically mature. Everyone has experience. The lower the level, the difficulty increases, and the progress tends to gradually accelerate.
According to this speed, it is estimated that it will take less than a week to break through the dungeon.
Mu You was very satisfied with this speed, so the dungeon didn't take any extra measures, and all members could play freely.
In addition, at around 7:00 pm that day, a prompt popped up for everyone in the game.
【Twilight City has been successfully activated, the first city lord: Shengguang Nana. 】
Another sky city is activated. The ID of the city owner is a name that is unfamiliar to many people. More importantly, this is another person from the Celestial Dynasty!
International forums were once again in an uproar, and the number of fairness fighters who took the lead increased sharply. Before, half of the eight cities settled down to the Celestial Dynasty, which was too much, but now the ninth city is also the Celestial Dynasty, with a ratio of five-ninths, which directly crossed the half-number line, and made people from other countries completely unable to sit still.
The issue of whether Sky City should receive players from all over the world on an equal basis has been debated again, and the trend is intensifying, so that not many people care about who the new city lord 'Holy Light Nana' is.
The members of the Mystic Art Association are quite calm about this, because they all know this 'Holy Light Nana', and it is actually a substitute card for Libra.
Libra and Capricorn had already said at the meeting in the early morning that they were preparing for the battle against Twilight, and they had made an appointment with other people for remote support. Now that they have successfully won the city lord, no one was surprised, and they all left messages to congratulate .
In this way, their Mystic Arts Association finally has a second city in the sky that is completely their own.
About an hour later, Muyou received a private message from Libra and Capricorn, asking him for advice on the construction experience of Sky City.
Mu You didn't hide any secrets, and directly passed the building sequence document that Jiuyou had given them before, and at the same time briefly told the two of the pitfalls he stepped on and the accumulation he had accumulated in the process of building Dawn City. experience of.
After dealing with the Twilight City matter, it was already night in Japan, and it was completely dark outside.
Mu You put on the skin of a herb picker that is not commonly used, and went out at Yueheifeng High School.
Following the address given by Ye Rumeng, Mu You rushed all the way to Qingmu District next to Qiangu District, and found the residence of Ye Rumeng's family behind a commercial street.
This is a small two-story building, but the building is dark inside, the door is closed, and the yard is overgrown with weeds. It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time.
Mu You walked to the door and took a look, and found that there were seals and notices pasted on the door.
Mu You checked it with translation software, to the effect that this house has been nationalized and is going through the process of property disposal. If you need anything, please contact the phone number Yunyun below.
"who are you looking for?"
Mu You was busy checking the translation software when a woman's voice suddenly sounded beside her.
Mu You turned his head and saw that at the door of the next room, a middle-aged woman was looking at him with some vigilance. She was carrying large and small bags of ingredients in her hand, as if she had just returned from get off work.
"I'm looking for someone from this family..."
Mu You just remembered that he can't speak Japanese.
I was thinking about how to communicate, but the other party suddenly spoke fluent Chinese: "You are from the Celestial Dynasty? So you are a relative of Mr. Ye's family?"
Mu You glanced at her, and after confirming that there was a player logo on her head, he shook his head and said, "I'm Mr. Ye's friend in Tianchao, and I'm here to visit him this time."
"Ah? This... In fact, Mr. Ye's family had a car accident a year ago, and all three members of the family died on the spot..." the woman sighed.
"Car accident?"
Mu You was taken aback for a moment, this little girl had never told him.
"Wait, a family of three?"
Mu You immediately noticed this: "It means that there have always been only three people in their family?"
"Yes, Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye's wife, and their daughter." The woman looked at Mu You strangely, not quite understanding why he asked such a question.
"Mr. Ye...Have you had any other daughters before?" Mu You tried to ask.
"You mean the illegitimate daughter?" The woman looked at him even more strangely, and hurriedly waved her hands: "I don't know about this. I have lived here for more than ten years, and I have only seen that little girl named Mengmeng..."
Only one daughter...
Mu You frowned. The little girl clearly said that Mian Mian was her older sister. How could it be that her own older sister who grew up with her didn't show up?
After that, Mu You didn't ask any more questions, and quietly released the Forgetting Curse on the woman, making her forget what happened just now, and then left the scene and hid in the dark.
After the woman came back to her senses and entered her home in a daze, Mu You turned back and sneaked into the building in front of her.
There are all kinds of household items in the room, and everything seems to remain the same as it was before it was closed. Only a layer of dust on the table on the ground reminds him that no one has been here for a long time.
Mu You searched the room, and quickly confirmed that this is indeed a family of three, and all the daily necessities are for three people. He also found a family photo album, which included Ye Rumeng's childhood and childhood. In all the photos, only the family of three appears repeatedly in all the photos, and there is no sign of the fourth family member.
Here comes the question, is Mianmian a child of this family?
Did the little girl lie to him? Isn't Mianmian her sister?
But the conversation between the two men from the Undead Society mentioned No. 14, which is Mianmian's residence, which should be here...
After thinking for a while, Mu You opened the lock cylinder space, found the little girl in the space, and brought her out.
"Eh? Muyou, this is my home!"
Ye Rumeng appeared in the dark room, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly recognized something, ran around the room, rummaging around for her belongings.
"My pillow, my toy, my certificate... Mu You, come and see, this is my room..."
The little girl ran back to the room excitedly, and subconsciously wanted to press the light in the room, but was stopped by Mu You.
"Mengmeng, what is the last scene you remember about your parents?" Mu You squatted down in front of her and asked seriously.
"parents…"
Ye Rumeng just calmed down, recalled for a few seconds, and said with some pain: "I remember, when my father was driving, the car suddenly flew up, and then...then, I don't remember anything..."
Mu You nodded, at least the memory about her family is correct.
"Your sister, have you been living here with you before?" Mu You asked again.
"Of course!" The little girl nodded firmly.
"Then why aren't your sister's things here?" Mu You asked.
"Why not? My sister's things are... yes..." The little girl subconsciously pointed into the room.
However, the fingers hung in the air for a long time, but they never stopped on any specific things.
The little girl was stunned, and ran to other rooms in disbelief.
However, until she went through all the rooms, she did not find any proof of her sister's existence.
"how so…"
The little girl stood there sluggishly. After a while, she suddenly hugged her head in pain, and she also became wobbly.
"Muyou, my head hurts...so sleepy..."
The little girl fell to the side as she spoke, and was caught by Mu You in time.
Looking down, she had closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep, with a painful expression on her face.
Mu You sighed. Through Louise's diary, it can be confirmed that 'Mian Mian' must be real. She was imprisoned by the Undead Society in that underground factory a long time ago, but she and Ye Rumeng should not be sisters.
The car accident that this family encountered was probably caused by the undead society, who used the car accident to hide the eyes and ears and kidnapped the little girl.
Then, the little girl probably also entered that underground factory, maybe she met Mianmian there, and something should have happened between the two of them.
In addition, the little girl's memory seems to have been tampered with, so sometimes what she said is a bit confusing. As for whether Mianmian did it or someone from the Undead Society, he still doesn't know.
