In the dim, abandoned house, Hao Ren and Rollie held their breath, watching for any movement around them. The light in the abandoned house was poor. The dark walls and the blocked windows made the house look eerie. The sunlight that shone down from the roof in the middle of the hall did not bring much light to the room. Hao Ren was not sure if it was an illusion, but he even felt that the sunlight was weakening. Its light was limited to a small area. Outside the sunlight, a thick shadow was spreading out from the darkness, swallowing up every detail in the room.
The lingering cold aura gathered again after a few minutes. Hao Ren's eyes were wide open as he looked around, but he still could not see the attacker. The attacker seemed to be a completely invisible enemy. There was no body, no sound, and only a sixth sense could detect its existence. Hao Ren did not know why he was still being targeted on Earth, but he had been through many battles. After confirming that his shield was still effective against this mysterious attacker, he calmed down and took out the silver spear from his dimensional pocket.
The plasma blade at the tip of the spear sizzled and sparked, illuminating a small area around it. Hao Ren immediately felt that the state of the plasma blade was not right. Its light was obviously compressed. The weakening of the light was not an illusion. There was something in the room that was swallowing the light.
Rollie carefully pulled her tail out of her clothes. She felt that a fight might be coming, so she had to be prepared. She stared at the darkness, her eyes searching, her throat making a threatening sound. The cat girl's combat ability was not as good as Hao Ren's, but as a cat demon, Rollie had an unexpected range of perception. She could not see what was disturbing her in the room, but she was more certain than Hao Ren of its range.
"Big Boss Cat, that thing seems to be under your feet," the cat girl said with a trembling voice. "It's sticking to the ground."
Hao Ren immediately swung his spear and drew a circle under his feet. The plasma blade made a sizzling sound and burned a circle of dark red marks on the cement floor. But in the flickering light, he did not see anything, nor did he cut anything. The chill did not subside. Instead, it gathered again.
At the moment of the sudden sense of crisis, Hao Ren twisted his body to the side. He clearly saw a series of small sparks suddenly appearing on his chest and abdomen. The Steel Membrane Shield was hit by an invisible attack again. And this time, there was a strange ripple pattern under the sparks, which was different from before.
Hao Ren felt a slight itch on his skin, which surprised him. The attacker seemed to have learned the characteristics of the Steel Membrane Shield in the previous failure. "His" attack seemed to have a tendency to penetrate the shield!
Realizing that the enemy was a very strange thing, Hao Ren immediately reached into his pocket but found nothing. He was in a hurry and forgot to bring the MDT with him. So he could only slowly retreat to the door and call in his mind, "MDT, come here, I need help here."
Then he waved at Rollie and said, "Get out first, there's something strange in this house!"
As his voice trailed off, he swung the spear in his hand in a circle and jumped out of the abandoned house. Rollie followed him like a gust of wind.
After leaving the Abandoned House, Hao Ren was not used to the sudden brightness of the sun. Bathed in the sunlight, he really realized how strange the light and shadow in the house was. It was broad daylight, but the house was so dark that he could not even see his own fingers. Even if there was a hole in the roof, the corners of the house were still as dark as ink. This strange optical phenomenon was indeed problematic.
The bright sunlight outside the house calmed Hao Ren down a little, and even the strange chill seemed to have faded. He and Rollie stood together in a fully alert posture. As they looked at the abandoned house in front of them, he nudged the cat demon beside him and asked, "Is that thing still in the house?"
Hao Ren noticed that Rollie might be able to sense something special. At this time, he was a little distrustful of his own eyes, so he decided to trust the cat. The strange experience just now made him feel that the enemy was probably hiding in the house.
Rollie squinted and looked into the house, but at this time, the situation in the house seemed to have returned to normal. The strange darkness had faded, and under the sunlight from the big hole in the roof, they could see everything in the house from the door.
"Doesn't seem to be there, meow." The cat girl shook her head in confusion, and then casually glanced at Hao Ren. Suddenly, she was so scared that her tail straightened. "Big Boss Cat is behind you.
Ow! Ow! Ow! "Hao Ren was first startled by Rollie, and then immediately felt a sinister aura coming from behind him. Almost reflexively, he leaped to the side and raised his spear to stab the place where he was just standing. But to his shock, he could not shake off the opponent's attack. The sinister aura seemed to be sticking to his body, with the same speed and agility as him. When he turned around, he saw a series of sparks on his arm, and at the same time, his skin felt numb as if he had been electrocuted!
Hao Ren turned around in the air and regained his balance. After landing, he quickly took a few steps back. He felt that the sinister aura was following him. Finally, when the aura was about to move again, he saw what it was.
He saw his shadow on the ground suddenly tremble, and a circle of ripples appeared in the center of the shadow. Then, invisible to the naked eye, but perceptible to the sixth sense, a dangerous "thing" shot out from the shadow towards his face!
That thing was actually residing in the shadow!
At this time, Hao Ren finally understood why this thing was like a maggot in his bones that he could not shake off or avoid. And when he saw the strange thing attack, he finally reacted in time. Considering that a person could not get rid of his own shadow, he did not dodge to the side this time. Instead, the moment the cold air almost pierced his skin, he suddenly twisted his body and dodged the attack by a hair's breadth.
The "enemy" in the shadow seemed to realize that it had been exposed and finally stopped hiding its aura. Hao Ren saw his shadow fluctuate violently like water under the sun. A sinister hostility continued to spread in all directions. Although he could not see it with his eyes, he felt that there were countless blade-like things stabbing at him from the shadow, and most of the attacks were aimed at his upper body.
At this moment, Hao Ren could only fight with his sixth sense. He kept retreating and narrowly dodged the invisible attacks again and again. A series of sparks flashed on the Steel Membrane Shield from time to time, and a stronger electric shock began to flow on his skin.
It turned out that no matter how good a person's sixth sense was, it was impossible to completely avoid the surprise attack from his own shadow.
Rollie watched in horror as Hao Ren fought with his shadow. After a moment, she finally gritted her teeth, meowed and rushed up to help.
Seeing the dumb cat bravely rushing to help him, Hao Ren was surprised but immediately stopped her. "Don't come over!"
The power of the shadow assassin was strange and inexplicable. He could not deal with it at all, let alone an immature cat demon. But Rollie turned a deaf ear to Hao Ren's order. She just rushed up without hesitation and then pressed her whole body against Hao Ren's shadow. She began to scratch the ground desperately with her claws. "Big Boss Cat, I got it, I got it!"
Of course, she could not catch a shadow. Anyone with a little common sense would know this, but Hao Ren could not expect the cat demon to think so much. He was touched that the cat was so brave at such a critical moment, but he still had to continue to fight against his shadow. He took a few steps back, separating his shadow from Rollie's (he was worried that the shadow assassin would use some mysterious method to jump into Rollie's shadow), and then he raised his spear and stabbed it into the ground.
But no physical attack could hurt a shadow. The plasma flame pierced a molten hole in the ground, but the ripples in the shadow were not affected at all.
Just when Hao Ren did not know what to do with this strange enemy, he finally heard the voice of the MDT in his mind. "Buddy! I'm coming! "
The MDT cut through the air and appeared in the air. It immediately shone a blue light on Hao Ren's shadow. There was a faint crackling sound as if something was burning. Hao Ren saw something in his shadow being peeled off by the blue light. He took two steps to the side and saw that there was a mass of chaotic grayish-black fog left on the ground.
Sure enough, the energy interference ability of the MDT could deal with this thing — it was an energy body.
"You're two minutes late." Hao Ren sighed and complained about his PDA.
"I have to escape from your demonic daughter first," the MDT whistled like a human. "Then I have to observe the situation and figure out who you're fighting with."
