When he fought with Ye Fanyu, he relied on the preparations of the past few days and a lot of mental power to successfully modify Ye Fanyu's cognition.
There is a disease in this world called prosopagnosia. People with this disease are usually unable to distinguish faces. In the eyes of people with this disease, everyone looks the same.
Su Mu used this principle to modify Ye Fanyu's cognition, causing him to see everyone as Su Mu.
Hypnotizing a superhuman is a very mentally exhausting task. Fortunately, Ye Fanyu's mental resistance is obviously not as good as Yang Dongqing's. He guessed that it was due to the different abilities of the two.
One is [Five Finger Flame Bomb], the other is [Heart of Iron]. Each kind of extraordinary ability will bring all-round enhancement to the extraordinary person, but this enhancement has a focus.
For example, although the [Five Finger Flame Bomb] enhanced Ye Fanyu's physical fitness and mental strength, it focused more on affinity and resistance to fire.
Yang Dongqing's [Heart of Iron] did not give him the ability to control fire, but it greatly enhanced his physical fitness and mental resistance.
Through his understanding of the extraordinary, Su Mu felt more and more that he was not an extraordinary person, because his enhancement was not all-round at all, but seriously biased. Apart from the enhancement of mental strength, there was no other bonus.
He fell asleep at this moment, mainly to restore his mental strength and then prepare for hypnotizing Tingting. Otherwise, if there were no special circumstances, he would not choose to sleep at all, and sleeping would only accelerate his death.

.......
night.
"You finally woke up." Yang Dongqing whispered.
Su Mu slowly opened his eyes. The severe pain in his brain made him frown slightly. Suddenly, he felt a warmth in his nose and eye sockets.
"Sumu you......"
"leader!"
Yang Dongqing and others quickly surrounded him and looked at Su Mu in surprise.
Su Mu's condition was very bad, with blood flowing from his nose and eye sockets, making his already pale face even paler.
He took the handkerchief handed to him by Zhao Chaoyao, took off his brown glasses, gently wiped the blood off his face, and smiled faintly: "It's okay, I feel much better after a good sleep."
"You don't look well at all. In fact, you look like you're dying." Yang Dongqing said bluntly.
Su Mu put on his brown glasses again: "It's the feeling of being on the verge of death that makes me feel much better."
Yang Dongqing: “….”
He was silent for a moment before he said, "Didn't you say that we can find Tingting at night? Let's go."
Su Mu did not stand up and still sat on the chair: "No need to leave, just wait here."
"Wait?" Yang Dongqing frowned, "Wait here for Tingting to show up by herself?"
Su Mu shook his head slowly: "No, I'm waiting for the shadow."
"Black Shadow!" Yang Dongqing was shocked. "What are you waiting for Black Shadow for? Do you want to be taken away by Black Shadow again?"
"Haven't you realized it yet?" Su Mu pushed his glasses, and his dark eyes were completely hidden: "Think carefully, have the black shadow and Tingting appeared at the same time?"
Yang Dongqing was stunned. He recalled the previous scene in his mind. At Tingting's house, after dark, Tingting said she was going out to find her sister, and then left. After that, the black shadow appeared.
"But what does this mean? Maybe it's a coincidence? Tingting went out at night, and the shadow appeared at night. Maybe the two of them just happened to miss each other?"
Su Mu smiled slightly: "At first I thought it was a coincidence, but do you know who was the first person I saw after I walked out of the darkness?"
"Could it be..." Yang Dongqing's expression suddenly turned ugly: "Is it Tingting?"
Su Mu nodded.
"So you guess Tingting is the shadow?"
"Ah." Su Mu held his forehead with his hand and sighed: "What a stupid head, what a stupid head, did you watch the time silhouette in vain? That was the only time that Tingting and the black shadow appeared in the same frame, so Tingting can't be the black shadow."
Yang Dongqing was a little embarrassed by what he said, and asked angrily: "Then what do you mean?"
"My meaning is very simple. The black shadow should have been parasitic on Tingting since that time. When I walked out of the darkness before, I vaguely felt that there was a faint connection between me and the black shadow, but that connection was very weak and looming.
I guess that as long as someone passes the test of the black shadow, they can gain its recognition and then be parasitized. It chose to parasitize Tingting, so the connection in me is very weak.
Otherwise, what do you think the shadow is doing? Just to invite you to take a walk? Also, why does the shadow have Tingting's experience?
Where is the shadow during the day? It is known that the shadow is afraid of light, it can only hide in dark corners, or... "
"In the human shadow!" Zhao Chaoyao answered quickly.
Bang!
Su Mu clapped his hands and said to Yang Dongqing, "Even this guy with a brain full of muscles is smarter than you. Yang Dongqing, there is a reason why you are not good at studying."
It’s hard. Yang Dongqing’s fist is hard.
Zhao Chaoyao scratched his bald head embarrassedly, his face flushed. It was obvious that the leader's praise made him very happy.
Yang Dongqing said stubbornly: "What you said is just a guess. What if the shadow is not hidden in Tingting's shadow, but in a dark corner somewhere?"
Su Mu became more and more helpless: "Student Yang Dongqing, you know, sometimes people who raise doubts are not necessarily smart people, they may also be self-righteous fools.
In nature, even animals with lower IQs than humans know how to seek benefits and avoid harm, let alone nightmare creatures like Black Shadow.
If you were the shadow, where would you think you were safe hiding?"
Yang Dongqing was speechless because he had figured it out. In the entire nightmare, the safest place must be in the shadow of Tingting, the source of the nightmare.
"It seems that you have understood. This is why I walked out of the darkness and saw Tingting first, because I came out from Tingting's shadow."
"Chief! Look!" Zhao Chaoyao suddenly screamed, his tiger eyes fixed on the shadow in the corner of the room.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a shadow surging in the dark corner. Gradually, it transformed into a human figure, tall and slender, as if a two-meter-tall giant was left with only bones, with long and slender hands that almost hung on the ground, and a pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened in place of its head.
Su Mu smiled slightly: "Good friend, you are finally here."
He walked slowly to the black shadow, leaning on a snake-patterned wooden cane. Before the other party could extend his hand, he had already reached out his hand.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the black shadow seemed to be stunned for a moment when he saw the pair of white and slender hands in front of him.
