Chapter 10 The mysterious shadow in the shopping mall (please read and collect)
On the bustling commercial street, Wu Yue, who hurried downstairs, opened the door of a commercial vehicle parked aside and couldn't wait to get in.
It was as if the person being chased by Li Gui had finally reached the safe zone and had a moment of respite.
"call……"
After sitting on the leather seat, Wu Yue's tight body suddenly relaxed, and then he was shocked to realize that his backside had been soaked for some time.
Just now, after Wu Nai said those words.
He deeply felt the pressure that gradually expanded in his chest.
Especially when going down the corridor, Wu Yue kept feeling that something was approaching him from behind.
But when he turned around, he found nothing. There was no sound or anyone on the gray-white stone steps.
However, until now, that strange aura still surrounds Wu Yue, snooping closely behind him.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before after meeting so many Tricksters.
Wu Yue could only escape from this collapsed state by constantly looking back to make sure there was nothing behind him.
"Damn it, I was so scared by a little brat from high school..."
Wu Yue cursed angrily in a low voice, then took the glass of strong wine passed by someone else and took a sip.
The strong wine entered his throat, and he seemed to have swallowed a fireball.
Paralyzed by alcohol, he took off the bug on his collar and ordered to the assistant in the front row: "Cut out all the recordings of my conversation just now and take them out next time I have dinner with Minister Cao or Professor Wang.
Put it on the dining table."
"Why?"
"It affects his mental evaluation and prevents him from entering the headquarters. I think it's too easy to handle a wild trickster." Wu Yue said coldly.
"It's actually not that troublesome..."
The person sitting next to him said with a faint smile, and the hazy light on his body gradually dispersed, revealing a delicate and handsome face.
It was Wu Nai whom I had just met not long ago.
It's just that unlike the gentle young man sitting upstairs, the one sitting next to Wu Yue now is simply a lion that chooses and devours others.
There was a cold aura all over his body.
Those black gem-like eyes were still deep, and the clear light shone deep in the eyes, like a whirlpool of stars gathering in the sky, slowly rotating in them.
With Wu Nai's eyes as the center, it seems that the [domain] formed by the condensed light is being released.
Wu Yue felt a slight weight on his body, and then he and his assistant fell to the ground.
The business car they were originally sitting in disappeared out of thin air, along with all the office equipment inside.
Wu Nai used [Domain] to teleport 100 meters underground.
"As long as you are alive, I will not join the headquarters, and don't want the car anymore. This is a warning, and it is the last time. Next time, you will be buried in the ground instead of the car."
"..."
Wu Yue sat blankly for a moment before slowly getting up from the ground.
"Manager Wu..."
The assistant came over cautiously and supported him, but hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, this time..."
Wu Yue looked at the direction in which Wu Nai disappeared, paused for a moment, and then said calmly: "I was careless. I thought it was the same as before, but I didn't expect that the other party was a terrifying trick master with [Uncanny Domain]."
"Then let's..."
"Go back, there is no point in staying here anymore, the next thing is about the Xiaoqiang Club." Wu Yue shook his head and stood up to leave.
He felt quite heavy, and he probably couldn't hide what happened today.
When I got out, the car was gone, and everything on the car was gone, including a lot of important information.
After returning home, I will inevitably be held accountable by the company.
The headquarters attaches great importance to the Trickster, and everything that happens will be investigated.
Once Wu Nai is invited into the headquarters, his end is likely to be very miserable.
"The alienation part: [skin second stage (0/100)] [five internal organs (60/100)] [eyeballs (10/100)]."
"Power: 0.0."
With two tricks, Wu Nai's efficiency in absorbing [superpowers] is greatly improved.
From the time he was imprisoned to the present day, one night and one morning, the alienation progress of his eyeballs has reached 10%.
Coupled with the experiment with Wu Yue's car just now, Wu Nai found that the third skill [Domain] is really useful.
It is basically equivalent to a copy of Yang Jian’s Secret Eye [Cunning Domain].
"It is indeed an S-level monster."
Wu Nai kicked the membrane under his desk and was quite satisfied with this guy.
Just then, his cell phone rang.
The screen showed that the caller was "Xiao Yang".
Is it so fast? Xiao Yang really can’t wait... Wu Nai answered the phone:
"Hello……"
"Wu Nai, this is Yang Jian. I have adjusted my condition. Come out and talk."
"Well, want to go to your house?"
"My home? No, my dad almost killed me just now. It's too dangerous to go back now." Yang Jian's tired voice came from the other end of the phone.
Early in the morning, he made another phone call with Liu Xiaoyu, and during the process he discovered that there was an extra "dad" in the house.
In fact, his father had passed away a long time ago, and what appeared in the family was a terrifying and powerful monster that could tamper with other people's memories.
After a life and death struggle, although Yang Jian left safely, the recovery process of Li Gui in his body accelerated a lot.
So he eagerly found Wu Nai.
After all, it is not easy for the headquarters to obtain the control method of the second Gui.
"Is there an extra 'dad' in the family?"
Wu Nai instantly realized that it was a blood-stained newspaper trick, which could tamper with other people's memories: "You hit [the trick] again? You hit two tricks in such a short period of time, you are really the one favored by the trick!"
"I don't dare to go back home, why don't I go to your house?" Yang Jian suggested.
"No, my home is not a place to talk. Where are you now? I will go directly to you, and then we will find a place to eat and chat."
Home is where Wu Nai's soul rests, and he doesn't want any mystery to touch it.
"Okay, I'm working as a security guard in a shopping mall now. I'll send you the address."
Ding!
The next second, Yang Jian's location information was sent to Wu Nai.
"Shopping mall, security..."
Wu Nai narrowed his eyes slightly, couldn't this be the mall where the headless figure was?
Yang Jian unexpectedly became a laborer so quickly.
The original trajectory of fate has tilted again... By the way, probably because I have captured [Starving to Death], and there is no such thing as Wang Shanshan.
After placing the starving ghosts, he got up and left, planning to go to the mall immediately.
After all, the headless shadow is not dangerous, it can absorb the [superpower] just by lying there.
But before leaving home, he heard the muttering voices of his two younger brothers in the living room.
It seems that Wu He gave up on "Wu He Super Magnet" but planned to make a "Super Paraglider".
And Wu Xi will be honored to be the number one user of this invention.
Shaking his head, Wu Nai sighed, opened the door and went downstairs.
With his [skin] here, these two boys will be fine even if they are hit by a bomb.
…
This is a quiet mall.
It is located on the main road of a bustling commercial street in Dachang City. There are many real estates and communities nearby, and there is a lot of traffic.
There is a large shopping supermarket next to the street, where you can see all kinds of people coming in and out, making it very lively.
Only this shopping mall had a cordon around it, as if it was cut off from the rest of the world, and it was eerily quiet.
Looking in from the door, it was dark and had an indescribable sense of depth.
It seems that once a person walks in, he will never reach the end.
But there are still staff inside.
Yang Jian, who had just been wandering around for a long time, was waiting here during his break, wearing a security uniform and holding a bottle of Feizhai Happy Water.
Wu Nai said he would come soon.
Although Yang Jian didn't know how the other party would arrive, he believed that Wu Nai would come soon.
He had been classmates with this person for three years, and Wu Nai never told a lie.
Even if some of the promises are made very casually and the content is quite outrageous, this guy will definitely do it.
For example, at a party, a drunk classmate asked to swim in the wine.
After Wu Nai agreed, he rented a swimming pool for him the next day, then asked people to drain the water in it, and then brought cart after cart of champagne to pour it in.
Drinks filled the swimming pool.
Then Wu Nai pulled that classmate and threw him in to swim.
Since then, Wu Nai’s reputation as the school’s darling has spread.
There is an endless stream of girls writing him love letters, and there are also boys everywhere who admire him.
It's very strange that such a character can actually play well with himself who comes from a poor family... Yang Jian drank the black happy water, and his thoughts were quickly interrupted.
A ball of clear light suddenly appeared beside him.
It's like a whirlpool of stars swirling around, hazily gathering into a slender figure.
After a while, the misty light receded, revealing a delicate and handsome face.
The deep black eyes have a strange and fascinating charm.
It's Wu Nai.
"Zizzi..."
Yang Jian bit the straw in his mouth, sucked the last Coke out of the bottle, and then sighed: "As expected of you, this appearance is too coquettish!"
"It's just a simple use of the mysterious realm. As long as you pay attention to exploring, you can master this skill soon." Wu Nai said with a faint smile.
His skill [Domain] is not [Uncanny Domain], but the ability effects are the same as those copied and pasted.
The biggest difference is that Wu Nai consumes physical strength when using [Domain], while the controller consumes life when using [Domain].
Therefore, he can use it as much as he wants and quickly explore the various abilities of [Domain].
"It's indeed worth learning from..." Yang Jian's expression moved slightly, and he was inspired by Wu Nai's use of the mysterious realm.
"There's something wrong with this mall."
Wu Nai glanced inside and said, "What's the problem?"
Hearing this, Yang Jian glanced at him in surprise: "You noticed it before you even entered. Something is indeed wrong. Many people have disappeared in the mall in the past few days. There must be something [strange] going on."
"So you want to deal with [Cunning] and receive a huge bonus?"
"Well, you really understand me. What do you think? Do you want to join us? We will split the money 50-50."
"You are interested in my method of using [skin] to imprison the guile, right? No problem, let's go in and take a look together first."
Wu Nai didn't waste any time, opened her legs and walked inside.
The view inside is wide, and the white marble floor reflects a faint light in the darkness.
The shops on both sides of the venue are closed.
There was a vague smell wafting over. This smell was very light and vague, but it was very special. It was very similar to the smell left in No. 7 Middle School.
[Superpower +1]
[Superpower +1]
Wu Nai heard continuous notification sounds, and it turned out that Wei had been active here.
"Da da……"
In the darkness, crisp footsteps sounded, echoing in this empty place.
A dark shadow gradually came towards here from far to near.
The sound of the supernatural sound in Wu Nai's ears suddenly sped up. His alienated eyes looked over and immediately saw the true face of the black figure - a tall, thin young man wearing a security uniform.
"Yang Jian, what are you doing here? You actually brought someone in."
The young man frowned slightly and said: "In this situation, ordinary people cannot come in. If they disappear again, we will be responsible."
Yang Jian opened his mouth and was about to explain. Unexpectedly, Wu Nai had already stepped forward and held the tall and thin young man's hand:
"Hello, brother, to be honest, I am also looking for a job. Yang Jian and I dropped out of school together at home. When I saw that he had found a job, I wanted to come over and ask if I could be added to the job."
"...Looking for a job again?"
The tall and thin young man frowned slightly: "The mall has not officially opened yet, so there is no need for so many security guards for the time being. Two are enough..."
"Brother Liu Qiang, please help me, we are all friends." Yang Jian said sincerely at the side.
The young man named Liu Qiang reluctantly nodded: "Okay, I can take you to Sister Li's place to talk about it, but it doesn't matter whether I want you or not."
[Breathe at close range, absorb the power of laws scattered around, and form a new skill - Reorganization]
[Reorganization: No matter how your body is broken into, as long as the parts are still there, Shadow can reassemble it for you, guaranteed to be exactly the same as the original. 】
[Acquire a new alienated part—Shadow]
During the conversation, several lines of text that looked like they were twisted by worms appeared in front of Wu Nai's sight.
In the darkness, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he obtained another alienated part and skill.
With a thought in his mind, Wu Nai focused all the powers he had just obtained on [Shadow].
"The alienation part: [skin second stage (0/100)] [five internal organs (60/100)] [eyeballs (10/100)] [shadow (10/100)]."
"Power: 0.0."
In the darkness, Yang Jian felt that the skin on his palm suddenly rolled like water waves, and then a gap opened, revealing a scarlet eyeball uncontrollably.
His eyes rolled slightly, and a strange picture on the floor came into his mind.
"Wu Nai's shadow...can move!"
The next moment, he closed his eyes, pretended not to know anything, and followed Liu Qiang to a small shop in the mall.
Four or five shopping mall employees were sitting on the sofa. Some were watching TV, while others were playing with their mobile phones. They seemed to be doing nothing.
One of them, a middle-aged woman wearing a black suit, heard the footsteps and looked up to see three people walking towards her.
"Sister Li, someone else has come to apply." After walking up to the young woman in a suit, Liu Qiang pointed at Wu Nai and said.
"Um……"
Sister Li glanced at Wu Nai with some surprise. This little boy's appearance was so outstanding that she had never seen him before.
Better than many male celebrities who wear makeup.
"What do you call me, sir?"
"Sister Li, just call me Wu Nai." Wu Nai said with a faint smile.
"Mr. Wu, sit down..."
She pointed to the position in front of her and said: "The mall will open in a while, and there is a shortage of people right now. What position do you want to apply for?"
"Security guard, I don't have much social experience." Wu Nai said casually.
"The salary of a security guard is 6,000 yuan a month, including food and accommodation, but it is a pity to work as a security guard under your conditions. In this way, I will give you a basic salary of 10,000 yuan a month and do sales with me."
Sister Li looked Wu Nai up and down and continued:
"Your conditions are great. If everything goes well, plus commission every month, you can get three to four hundred thousand, no problem."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have experience. I can take you step by step. Your customer base is mainly rich wives, and your daily work will not be too tiring."
Oh my god...is this a serious job? Yang Jian sighed in his heart, and he really wanted to ask if he could go.
It has no other meaning, the main thing is to train myself.
"No, I just want to fuck the security guard first." Wu Nai took a deep breath.
Listening to the sound of supernatural powers in his ears, he knew that there were not many people alive in this place.
…
Ten minutes later, Wu Nai put on a security uniform and followed Liu Qiang behind Yang Jian for inspection.
Although Sister Li did not give up persuading him to engage in sales, in order to retain such a talented person, she still agreed to let him work as a security guard first.
"Why don't you agree to Sister Li? Three to four hundred thousand a month, how many people are trying to do it."
Liu Qiang is still feeling sorry for Wu Nai.
"It's no pity. The job Sister Li introduced is just to accompany a group of old women. If I really wanted to, there are many young girls who are willing to spend money to support me, so why should I suffer that fate."
In the dim floor, Wu Nai held a flashlight in his hand and looked around.
"Wait a minute..." Yang Jian's expression suddenly changed, and he pointed at the elevator entrance and said, "What do you think that is?"
Liu Qiang looked in the direction he pointed and could vaguely see a vague figure.
"Someone sneaked in at the mall?"
"Let me see."
Wu Nai went over with a flashlight and found that it was a fake model.
"A fake model." Wu Nai walked over and picked it up.
Are you so brave... Yang Jian felt that this boy was impulsive, but he noticed that when Wu Nai took action, a pool of darkness squirmed slightly under his feet.
Is it a shadow? I don't know.
From the beginning to now, he felt that Wu Nai was shrouded in a layer of fog.
After Wu Nai returned the fake model to a nearby clothing store, Yang Jian followed up and asked in a low voice: "How are you doing? Did you see anything?"
"Is this [cunning] in this mall?"
"Well, it seems like nothing can be found so far." Yang Jian frowned and said, "I asked Liu Qiang. He thinks that the missing people may not be in the mall, but the smell of corpses here is real."
"It means there's something wrong with the way you ask questions. Come with me."
After leaving the clothing store, Wu Nai and Yang Jian walked step by step behind Liu Qiang, patted him on the shoulder, and shouted: "Brother Qiang, look here..."
"ah?"
Liu Qiang turned his head and his head accidentally fell off his neck.
Gululu...
Damn... Yang Jian looked at the heads rolling on the ground and couldn't help but curse inwardly.
