It's no wonder that Su Mu was confused. It was really that the "surprise" that the drum gave him was too weird.
This thing looks dark, like a shadow that is constantly wriggling.
With the idea of testing and researching, Su Mu picked up a spider leg of the attacker from the ground and poked the black shadow with it.
As a result, the spider's legs directly penetrated the black shadow, without transmitting any sense of touch to Su Mu, as if the black shadow was just an ordinary shadow.
But Su Mu could clearly feel that this black shadow was constantly transmitting information to him.
This message is not language, but an intuitive feeling - hunger!
The black shadow kept telling Sumu that it was hungry and needed to eat.
This is actually a living creature?!
Gu saw Su Mu's surprise through the eyes on the gourd, which made him very proud. He smiled and said, "This is my surprise for you. How about it? Do you like it?"
"What on earth is this thing? What's its use?" Su Mu asked, and distanced himself from the black shadow.
Before figuring out the origin and details of this black shadow, Su Mu didn't dare to get too close to it. Who knows if it would be dangerous? Especially since it kept shouting "hungry", Su Mu didn't want to become its food!
"It's called the Shadow Lord."
Gu's answer almost made Su Mu lose his temper: "What do you call it? The Lord of Shadows?"
“That’s right!”
After making sure that he had heard correctly, Su Mu looked at the black shadow again.
So this thing is called the Shadow Lord? No wonder it moves so well.
Su Mu sighed a few times in his heart and urged Gu: "Keep talking."
Gu did not keep anyone in suspense and quickly explained the situation of the Shadow Lord to Su Mu: "This thing, in your human terms, is a divine item..."
"A living divine object?"
"Has anyone stipulated that divine objects cannot be alive? In the memories I read, the definition of a divine object is that as long as it is stained with the breath of the gods and possesses certain special and extraordinary abilities, it is considered a divine object. It does not say that it must be dead or lifeless. In a sense, you are also a divine object, because in your body, there is my bones and blood."
Su Mu: “…”
I suspect you were driving with that last statement and it was deliberately directed at me.
What do you mean I have your blood in my body? I just took your blood, diluted it, and used it for bathing and making pills. If this counts as having your blood, then in the summer, female mosquitoes will line up to find me as their kin? And make me responsible for getting them pregnant?
Sumu did not discuss the definition of divine items with Gu, nor did he complain, but just asked suspiciously: "Where did you get the divine items?"
As far as Su Mu knew, there were no other divine items on Gu except the gourd with eyes. If there were, he should have taken them out to exchange for money, and he wouldn't have to rely on selling blood and urine to make money to play games.
"Found inside this Spider-Man's body."
A beam of light projected from the eye on the gourd and shone on the attacker.
Su Mu was powerless to complain: What the hell is Spider-Man... If all Spider-Man looked like this, it would be strange if anyone liked him.
But he immediately recalled the sneak attacker's ability to Shadow Escape, and asked hurriedly, "So, it was the Shadow Master who allowed him to Shadow Escape?"
"That's right."
"Isn't it that jade token?" Su Mu was a little surprised.
After subduing the attacker, Captain Chen and his team searched the attacker's body for the jade token, sealed it in a crystal box and took it away. If the attacker was able to use Shadow Escape, relying on the Shadow Master, then what was the purpose of the jade token? It seemed that the attacker had never used it.
"That jade token is nothing more than the 'residence' of the Shadow Lord," Gu explained.
He read the attacker's memory and naturally knew what the jade token Su Mu was talking about was.
“According to He Kui and his colleagues’ research…Oh, He Kui is the dead Spider-Man.
According to their research, the Lord of Shadows should be a silhouette of a certain god left in the human world.
When the god fell, his silhouette was reflected on the jade tablet, and thus was preserved, and he also inherited some of the god's abilities. Shadow Escape is only one of his abilities, and the other abilities are yet to be developed. The prerequisite for development is to feed the Shadow Master and let it grow."
When Su Mu heard this, he thought of the Shadow Lord who kept shouting that he was hungry, and asked in surprise: "But it's just a shadow, how can we feed it? What should we feed it?"
"The Shadow Lord's food is shadows. But you have to be careful. Once the shadow of something is 'eaten' by it, that thing will fall into darkness little by little, and decay into dust little by little..."
As soon as Gu finished speaking, Su Mu saw that the front part of the spider leg that he used to poke the Shadow Lord had become corrupt as Gu had described, and turned into dust.
It was because the front part of the shadow of this spider's leg was "eaten" by the Lord of Shadow.
This scene made Su Mu's scalp numb with shock. He quickly changed direction, fearing that his shadow would also be eaten by the Shadow Lord.
Even eating a part of it is not okay. Who knows which part will be missing?
At the same time, he quickly pulled He Kui's spider legs out of the Shadow Lord's body.
If He Kui was completely "eaten" by the Shadow Lord and turned into dust, then some things would be difficult to explain.
But from another perspective, releasing the Shadow Master to eat the enemy's shadow is not a good assassination method? It is enough to make people unable to defend against it. But why didn't this Spider-Man named He Kui do that before? Is there any restriction?
After listening to Su Mu's question, Gu answered:
“It’s definitely not possible, at least not at this stage.
Because the Shadow Lord's movement speed is very slow at this stage, if it wants to launch a sneak attack, the target only needs to take a step to the side to let the shadow leave it, and it will take a long time for it to enter the target's shadow again.
At the same time, when it devours the shadow, it will also bring discomfort to the target. So even if the target is asleep, it is difficult for it to complete the assassination. Because once the target is awakened, even if it does not find it, it can just get up and move to another place, and it will not be able to catch up. "
"So that's how it is."
Su Mu nodded and looked at the Shadow Lord. It was wriggling constantly, trying to crawl towards the shadow of He Kui's corpse and continue eating.
But the speed was really slow. After moving for a long time, it was still in the same place.
Su Mu felt both regretful and fortunate about this.
Fortunately, the Shadow Lord has this shortcoming, otherwise, their shadows would have been swallowed up as soon as they entered the office building, and turned into piles of dust, without even knowing how they died.
"How to make use of its shadow escape ability?" Su Mu asked again.
"This is easy. When it's full, let it merge with your own shadow. Then you can move between the shadows at will."
Gu paused here, then emphasized:
“But remember, you must use it when the Shadow Lord is full, otherwise it will eat your shadow!
Also, every time you use it up, it gets very hungry.
If there is no shadow around you that can feed it, it is best to put it into the jade in time and let it enter a 'hibernation' state. Until you find a suitable shadow, you can release it and feed it. "
"Does it eat the shadows of all things?" Su Mu asked, thinking to himself, it would be much more convenient if it were that way. He could just find a stone or a branch and give it a full meal. It would be so easy to raise.
Unfortunately, there is no such good thing in the world.
Gu said, "Not really. According to the experiments of He Kui and his team, the Shadow Lord is very picky about food and only eats the shadows of spiritual or living things. They speculate that the Shadow Lord uses this special way of eating to obtain spiritual energy and nutrition to fill his stomach and grow. If you let it eat the shadows of earth and stone, it will probably think you are a fool."
"Will spiritual things also work?"
Su Mu thought about it, took out a small porcelain bottle from the storage device, opened it, poured out a few pills, and threw them to the Shadow Lord.
He threw very accurately, and several pills fell directly into the shadow of the Shadow Lord.
Otherwise, the Shadow Lord would have to work hard to "find food".
Immediately afterwards, Su Mu saw that the surface of these pills was corroding bit by bit and turning into dust.
It seems that the Shadow Lord is not only slow, but also slow in eating.
However, from the information conveyed by the Shadow Lord, Sumu could clearly feel that it was very satisfied with the elixir.
"I'm glad you're satisfied. I can still afford the supply of elixirs." Su Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not let the Shadow Lord continue eating because it ate too slowly, and Su Mu did not have time to wait for it to eat its fill slowly.
Su Mu took out a piece of jade from the storage device, and using Professor Gu's method, he put the Shadow Lord into it, letting it hibernate.
The pills that had been eaten by the Shadow Lord were also collected by Sumu, to be fed to it next time.
"Thank you for this surprise." Su Mu put away the jade, turned his head and said to the eyes on the gourd.
Gu immediately said, "Saying thank you verbally is the most boring thing. If you really want to thank me, transfer some more money to me. I recently played a game and spent a lot of money, but I couldn't draw any good cards. Everyone said I was unlucky, but I don't believe it. I have to spend money to get something worthwhile."
"...Okay, I'll transfer some money to you."
Su Muzhen transferred another sum of money to Gu.
After all, before you can pluck the wool from the sheep, you have to let them eat some grass, right? Su Mu is still thinking about Gu's dragon scales. The more Gu is addicted to the game, the more chances he has.
After putting away the gourd and removing the soundproofing technique, Su Mu made a hand gesture, allowing his voice to be heard throughout the entire office building.
"The interrogation is over, you can come over now."
Upon hearing this, the people who were waiting anxiously rushed over as fast as they could.
