Chapter 633 Shadow City

There were many strange rustling sounds coming from behind. Ye Tingbai turned around and looked back. They were a group of deformed dwarfs about half a meter tall.

These dwarfs were all wearing red bellybands, both male and female, and their looks were very different. At first glance, they thought they were elementary school students gathered together, but these elementary school students all held very long watermelon knives in their hands and kept making utterances in their mouths. A quacking laugh.

These dwarfs are all pollutants, but the pollution on their bodies is very strange. The behavior of ordinary pollutants on humans will be very distorted, like two different materials, forcibly mixed together, like water and Oils are supposed to be insoluble in each other, but if they are stirred with strong external force, they will also enter a state of fusion, but it will still look strange.

But now these dwarfs don't have this disharmonious feeling. The pollution is on them, as if they were born this way.

"Brothers, whoever catches it first belongs to him, I'll go first!"

The first dwarf to scream was a man. He was the first to run towards the two of them. When he ran, he was on all fours instead of using his feet. The tattered watermelon knife was tightly grasped in his hand. in hand.

When he ran about a meter in front of Ye Tingbai, his figure suddenly disappeared, flashed and came to Ye Tingbai's side. Because the attack was on the left side, he had to raise his left hand to fight back, but it was useless. He applied too much force and just punched the doll into the wall.

It was like bursting an ordinary water balloon, with blood and minced meat splashing everywhere, and this lethality also stunned the little dwarfs behind him. They turned around and ran away without looking back.

The sub-personality followed two steps closely, and then caught the slowest one and came back. At least these things still spoke human language and could communicate.

"Let me go, let me go!"

Ye Tingbai: "Who are you?"

"We are people, not things!"

Ye Tingbai: "You are considered human beings. How do you look like a human being? People like us are human beings. But you are not surprised to see my kindness. Why?"

If these things were monsters that the woman gave birth to in this ruins, how could they not be surprised when they saw the two people suddenly appearing?

On the contrary, it seems that he is very accustomed to this scene, just like seeing prey in the wild and shouting to his companions, "I got on first!"

Boom~~~

The sudden sound of the bell interrupted Ye Tingbai's thoughts, and in such a trance, the dwarf in his hand disappeared, disappearing in a way that he could not understand.

Ye Tingbai: "Why is that thing gone?"

Sub-personality: "I don't know, I think the sound of the bell just now affected us. It seemed like it was over in an instant, but in fact it has been several minutes."

The sub-personality pointed to the blood stains on the wall for Ye Tingbai. The dwarf who had just been beaten was hanging on the wall and was bleeding. In such a dazed moment, the blood was already flowing all over the ground. This was different from what he had done a second before. What I saw was different.

Ye Tingbai: "So that bell can suspend our consciousness, and even you are not immune."

Sub-personality: "Not only that, this place is weird, look at your feet."

There was no light source in the ruins, so Ye Tingbai made two flashlights when he entered. With the flashlight of his secondary personality shining on him, Ye Tingbai also saw something strange, his shadow.

No upper body.

When he took a photo of his secondary personality, it showed that he only had his upper body.

Although the two complement each other, they do not share half of the soul with each other. The sub-personality has its own way of birth, and the original sub-personality also has a body. He is a normal person, and at least his soul is complete now.

Sub-personality: "I don't know why this is happening, but those dwarfs just now didn't have any shadow at all. Everything started when we entered this door."

Ye Tingbai: "What if...we go out now?"

The door is there, and the two of them only need one step to take it out. But even though the door is open, they can't take that step out, as if there is another self in their hearts that is resisting the action of leaving.

Ye Tingbai: "Push me out!"

The sub-personality stretched out his hand to try to push Ye Tingbai, but he couldn't push it down halfway. The door seemed ordinary, but it could imprison him.

Ye Tingbai: "Did Yu Lei trick me?"

Sub-personality: "I can't see it. Maybe he didn't expect that this place has become like this. I have been observing this old man. If he really did it on purpose, I can only say that he is too good at acting."

Ye Tingbai let out a long breath. If he couldn't get out, he could only go into the ruins to see what was stopping them from getting out.

"Don't go in, just stay here with me. If you go in, you won't even be able to keep the last half of your shadow."

Ye Tingbai frowned and looked at the withered bones in the corner. The sound came from the withered bones. The skull didn't move, but the sound came from there.

"Welcome to Shadow City~"

Ye Tingbai stretched out his right hand and grabbed the skull's head, but the skull had long been weathered. He didn't need his right hand at all. Any external force could break it. Seeing Ye Tingbai's move, the voice mocked again: "It's useless, everyone will be the same after entering the Shadow City.

Once you’re in, you can’t get out.”

Ye Tingbai tried all his abilities, but none of them had any effect. The only problem was that he couldn't leave and his shadow was incomplete. When he used a flashlight to shine on the skeleton on the ground, he found that the skeleton couldn't emit any light or shadow at all.

Ye Tingbai: "Without a soul or strength, but able to let us hear sounds, there is only one possibility, fantasy.

There must be you in those powders, right?

You can speak because you still have a little body outside. If I bury you in the wall."

Hearing what Ye Tingbai said, the man shouted in horror: "No, don't!"

Ye Tingbai could understand most of the things here. The only thing beyond his cognition was the strange purple powder mixed in the gate and the wall. By touching the powder, he also had a certain inference that those things were the concrete products of some kind of soul.

It is not difficult to conclude that the specialness of this skeleton is related to those things. The activity of those purple powders is very high, and they are all living humans.

Ye Tingbai: "Tear apart his bones and see if there is that purple powder."

After hearing this, the secondary personality just raised his palm, and the skeleton was completely ground into powder. This is the real grinding of bones and scattering of ashes. All the useless ashes were scattered, and they actually found a purple dust that was so small that it couldn't be any smaller in those ashes.

When Ye Tingbai put his hand on it, he felt this fresh and flexible. He easily broke into his spiritual world and saw what he wanted to see.

He was forced to stay at the end of the closing by the foundation. When the foundation sent them into the shadow city, it was not so strange here, and there was no situation of swallowing shadows here.

This only appeared later.

The foundation sent people to explore here every year, and it ended more than ten years ago. This is not much different from the information Yu Lei gave him. Yu Lei seemed to have implicitly expressed that this relic was difficult to deal with, but he did not warn Ye Tingbai.

As the exploration deepened, Ye Tingbai also understood why those monsters were not surprised to see humans, because in the past ten years, Hardness had captured all the humans who had left here safely, except Yu's family.

Being caught by Hardness seems to trigger certain conditions, such as mentioning Hardness to the outside world. Most of these people who were caught suddenly returned here when they were talking about it to the outside world.

And this person has been staying at the door for hundreds of years. He can only see what is happening in front of the door. He only knows that those people have never come back after entering Shadow City.

Ye Tingbai: "Interesting, let's go in and take a look."

The walls inside Shadow City are all gold ore, with low purity, but under the illumination of the flashlight, it still reflects a layer of golden light, and there are also purple powders inside these golden stones. From this point of view, this entire ruins is made of two materials: gold and soul crystals.

Gold is very inert and rarely reacts with other things. It is a relatively expensive metal, but it does not seem to have any special effects.

There is a crossroads at the end of the passage, but the strange thing is that the two roads forward and to the right are gone, and the walls and floors are broken in the middle, as if this relic was dug out from the ground by some external force, and in the process, some passages were broken.

This incomplete relic was buried deep in the soil. This was Ye Tingbai's first feeling.

In the broken corridor on the right, there was a statue of a strange-looking stone statue. The statue had only one eye, and the faces on both sides were symmetrical as if they were directly mirrored. The small archway outside the statue was also half-stepped and had fallen into disrepair.

Ye Tingbai: "Why would such a weird thing be placed at the entrance?"

Secondary personality: "In ancient times, most of these hideous statues represented the imprisonment of certain things, fighting evil with evil, but I can't say for sure, maybe it was just a simple guarding and symbol."

Ye Tingbai wiped the statue with his hand. It was an ordinary stone, not a star wreck, nor a precious material. It was a large stone that could be seen everywhere on the roadside. He waved his hand to restore the small archway of the stone statue. He suddenly became superstitious.

Then he walked towards the only passage, which was the road on the left.

But just after Ye Tingbai left, the eyes of the stone statue lit up. It seemed that he was looking at the direction where Ye Tingbai left, and it seemed that he had been looking there all the time.

From the moment Ye Tingbai stepped into the left passage, he had a vague sense of danger in his heart, and always felt that something was about to appear, so he walked very carefully.

Just when he walked two meters away, a vibration sound of the mechanism came, and the sound of the mechanism starting became more and more obvious. Ye Tingbai was really annoyed in the end. He jumped up and punched a big hole in the wall above his head, and the secondary personality also collapsed easily.

Faced with such destructive power, the statue somehow turned its head to the right again and dared not look again.

The passage was completely smashed, and the sound of the mechanism stopped abruptly. There were indeed many mechanisms buried underground, but because they were old, many of them were broken, so they had not been activated for so long.

Ye Tingbai: "The things here are so strange, it seems to be used to deal with ordinary people?"

Whether it is the mechanism, or the fragile gate and wall, it doesn't seem to be used to target pollutants or gods, but there are indeed some strange supernatural powers here, and there is no normal defense against supernatural creatures.

Ye Tingbai only thought of one possibility. When this shadow city was built, there were only ordinary humans in this world. If you look at it from the perspective of ordinary humans, this shadow city is indeed a very scary place.

The strange ability to devour shadows, and various killing mechanisms, basically there is no return.

And the heavy golden door now looks more like a trap to attract humans, but it is outrageous that this thing can restrict Ye Tingbai.

Continue forward along the passage on the left, and you will come to a T-junction again, and the straight road has the same situation as the door, it is broken.

This time Ye Tingbai wants to dig the soil. He wants to try to leave here by digging the soil, and this time he succeeds. He can dig the soil to leave here, but this departure is limited. Once it exceeds a certain limit, his body will also resist.

When Ye Tingbai cleared all the soil according to this restriction, a rectangular block that completely matched the broken corridor appeared. The restriction of this thing still existed even when it was incomplete.

It was like an invisible wall that ensured the integrity of the ruins and blocked Ye Tingbai's departure. Ye Tingbai had no choice but to go back to the T-junction and choose the normal passage. At least he could see the road and didn't have to dig the soil.

This road was diagonally downward, with a slope of about 45 degrees. The whole ground was filled with light green poisonous gas, and steel needles were stabbing upward from time to time under the poisonous gas. There were two hideous stone statues of normal height on both sides of the road.

As soon as Ye Tingbai approached, the two stone statues moved. Ye Tingbai punched them and the stone statue guard was smashed through. The strength gap was very large. The strength of the stone statue itself was not bad, but it could not deal with pollutants.

The dwarfs he had seen before were stronger than these stone statues. The explosive power of those dwarfs was comparable to that of the fourth or fifth level pollutants, but they lived in groups and had strange flashing abilities. Overall, they could be rated as fifth or sixth level.

Ah~~~Ha~~~

Suddenly, a woman's long moan came from the depths of the ruins. The stone statue that was smashed by Ye Tingbai seemed to have heard the call, twisting its broken body and crawling towards the depths of the ruins.
