When Hao Ren and the MDT were done, Rollie was still scratching on the ground. The cat girl was fighting bravely with her shadow, her fur bristling. Smoke and mist filled the air. At first glance, it looked like the cat demon had finally achieved enlightenment and was ready to ascend to heaven. Hao Ren patted the cat girl on the head. "All right, all right. Got it."
The cat girl was startled by Hao Ren's pat. She jumped more than two meters away. When she was sure that no one was coming to hit her, she looked up and looked around. Seeing the MDT trapping a shadow with a blue light, she finally felt relieved. She ran over and rubbed her head against Hao Ren's arm. As she rubbed her head against her throat, she made intermittent purring sounds. She was scared out of her wits.
"It's okay. It's okay." Hao Ren rubbed the silly cat's head and tucked her tail back into her coat. He had to re-evaluate the cat demon. Although she was usually mischievous, disobedient, eccentric and did things her own way, he did not expect her to be so brave at the critical moment. After comforting his cat, he came to the MDT. "So what is this?"
The MDT was still restraining the shadow with a blue light. Its voice sounded a little confused. "I've never seen such a life form. It looks like an energy body that can be controlled by my strong magnetic field. But its nature is like a shadow. You see, it can only move on the surface of other objects."
As the MDT spoke, it adjusted the frequency of the magnetic field and drove the mist-like shadow around. Hao Ren noticed that no matter how the thing moved, it always stayed close to the ground, especially when it crossed some small stones and pits. It was completely an image and could not leave the surface of other objects.
"Speaking of which, how's the attack power of this thing? Are you hurt? "the MDT asked casually as it drove the shadow around.
Hao Ren moved his hands and feet. "I'm not hurt, mainly because I was shocked. This thing is too weird. And it seems to be able to slightly penetrate my Steel Membrane Shield. After being hit by this thing, I felt like I was electrocuted, but other than that … there seems to be no substantial damage. "
"Pfft, I can't believe you're being tormented by such a weakling." The MDT's tone was particularly annoying. "I thought you were going to die soon. I came here with the consciousness of a martyr. But you're not even bleeding after so long?"
Hao Ren smiled sheepishly. "I told you I was just shocked. This thing is so weird. It's my first time facing something like this. I can't kill it or touch it. And even if you don't come, I have a way. I don't believe that the psionic pistol can't deal with this thing. "
"You can kill it with one shot, but the sample will be gone," the MDT muttered as it kept switching the magnetic field mode, trying to pull the shadow off the ground. "Fortunately, you waited until I came to help … Oh, this thing is really … How do we get this thing back?"
Hao Ren squatted on the ground and observed for a while. "Still can't get it off?"
"I can only control it on the surface of the object, but I can't 'tear' it off," the MDT sounded a little depressed. "Or we can use a beam to bind it while dragging it home, but it's a little troublesome."
Hao Ren thought about what it would look like, and suddenly the scene of him dragging a shadow home came to mind. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no. I can't explain if people see it. Do you want me to tell them that I went out for a walk?"
Rollie perked up when she heard the word "walk" and immediately came over. "I'm the one walking today! I'm the one walking! "
"It's none of your business," Hao Ren pressed the silly cat back. He thought to himself that he was walking the cat today, how did he end up walking a shadow back home? He looked at the spinning black image on the ground and suddenly had an idea. He took out a piece of paper from his Dimensional Pocket and asked, "Can you drive the shadow onto this piece of paper?"
The MDT thought for a moment and said, "I can try, but how do I fix it on the paper? Do I have to keep pointing at it?"
Hao Ren looked at the MDT curiously and asked, "What did you use to trap it?"
"The Psionic Binding Field," the MDT replied. "But once the field disappears, it will run away. It's just trapped, not hurt."
Hao Ren nodded and began to think about what he had in his Dimensional Pocket that could trap this strange and inexplicable thing. To be honest, it was hard to think of anything at the moment. So far, he had used his strange experimental containers to catch all kinds of things, from humanoid creatures to gigantic First Borns, in a variety of large and small bottles and jars, but he had never caught a shadow before! Was this the real-life version of groundless speculation?
The cat maiden was circling around restlessly, her pair of cat eyes staring straight at the spot of light that the MDT had created on the ground, as if she was ready to pounce on it at any time.
After thinking for a while, Hao Ren suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "Oh, yes! I still have a treasure! "
As he said, he took out his treasure from the Dimensional Pocket. The MDT was looking forward to it, but when Hao Ren took it out, it was stunned. "… You still have this thing?"
What Hao Ren took out was none other than the small box that he used to catch the Golden Apple and the vengeful spirit. The apple box had been carefully stored in the Dimensional Pocket by Hao Ren, and now it was as good as new.
"Of course," Hao Ren said matter-of-factly. "This thing is a divine artifact. In my mind, it's on the same level as the Jade Bottle and the Purple Gold Gourd. I don't believe that a mere shadow can be more difficult to deal with than the vengeful spirit."
For the Purple Gold Gourd to look like this, it must have been difficult for Laotzu.
Hao Ren did not care about the style of his Purple Gold Gourd. He put the divine small box on the ground and pointed the mouth of the box at the shadow. "If I call you, do you dare to answer? Oh, if you don't, I'll take it as a yes. MDT, keep it in. "
The MDT did not even bother to bicker with Hao Ren. With a sweep of its beam, the shadow was driven back into the Apple box.
Just as Hao Ren had speculated, this divine artifact box could unconditionally trap all kinds of strange energy bodies. After the shadow was driven into the box, it immediately quieted down and lay dormant at the bottom of the box like a dirty ink stain. If it were not for the faint mist fluctuations inside, Hao Ren would have thought that the thing was' dead '.
This unexpected episode had also completely ruined Hao Ren's mood of walking the cat. Although Rollie seemed to want to take a stroll outside for a while, Hao Ren still forced the dumb cat back home.
As soon as he entered the house, he called out to everyone. But after a while, he found that Y 'zaks and his daughter were not there, so he asked, "Where's Y' zaks and Y 'lisabet?"
"The air conditioner in the small supermarket at the corner of the street is broken. They went to fix it," replied Vivian as she looked curiously at the apple box that Hao Ren had brought back. "Did you give your year-end bonus again? It's still early. "
"What year-end bonus?" Hao Ren put the apple box on the coffee table. "I was attacked!"
As soon as his voice trailed off, the living room suddenly became lively. Some shapeshifted, some took out their equipment, some ran to check on Hao Ren's injury, and some ran out to set up camp at the door. It was a mess. Hao Ren saw the situation and quickly explained, "Don't panic, don't panic. It's done. The assassin has been caught. He's in the box."
"What? Why didn't you say so earlier? You scared me!" Lily yelled as she poked her head to look at the small box on the coffee table. But when she looked inside, she found nothing. "Huh? There's nothing … Did he run away? "
Hao Ren knew that she would have such a reaction. "It's the black blob at the bottom of the box."
"Black?" Lily finally noticed the black blob at the bottom of the box. "I thought you used this to store ink … Wow! It's moving! "
Vivian, Nangong Wuyue, Nangong Sanba and the rest were immediately curious. They crowded around him. "Let me see, let me see!" "Oh my god, this thing can really move!" "Look at the shape just now, it looks like Y 'zaks' face …"
Hao Ren was left outside the circle of people. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. "What about me?"
In the end, it was Vivian who knew how to care about people. She was the first to look up. "Hao Ren, where did you get this thing?"
Hao Ren immediately understood the meaning behind Vivian's words. "You know what it is?"
