There were ready-made containment boxes in every stronghold. They were made of different materials and sizes.
However, Mo Qiong still asked the society to design a new one. Because the shadow was as tall as a person, it was difficult to carry such a large box and hide it on the body.
It had to be made of a compressible material. They had to make it into a fist-sized ball and hide it on the body. At the critical moment, they could open it and it would instantly expand into a box that was one or two meters long.
Fortunately, capturing a shadow did not require the cube cage to be very hard. If the shadow could be trapped because of its flat surface, it would definitely not have the power to destroy the cage.
Whether it was an alloy box, a metal box, a cloth box, or a paper box, it was all the same!
Therefore, what material was easier to compress and open would be left to the society to research.
Mo Qiong told Waveshift his request. Waveshift immediately said, "This is not a high requirement. The people in the research department are designing it. When the design is done, they can immediately produce it. How many do you need?"
"A hundred first," Mo Qiong said. After all, there were only a hundred or so peripheral members who could be transferred from Mombasa and the surrounding areas to cooperate with Darwin's team.
"Okay, let's wait."
After communicating with Waveshift, everyone indirectly confirmed that this shadow was the anomaly for this resistance mission.
If it was not, Waveshift would definitely be surprised. Shadow? What shadow? This script is not right!
Since Waveshift was so calm, it meant that there were no complications. It must be Chris.
"Phew, everything went well. Right, after trapping this shadow, we have to be wary of it turning back into a human! Because of the pursuit of portability, our box will be very fragile. It can trap a shadow but not a human. Therefore, after capturing it, we have to immediately use boxes on boxes and add a few layers of metal cages, "Mo Qiong said.
"That's right. If it's just a shadow without any power, how can it steal the money? It must turn back into a human, "everyone said.
Mo Qiong said, "The biggest possibility is that it can switch between human and shadow forms. It can sneak in as a shadow. After confirming that it's safe, it can turn back into a human and take the money. Therefore, there's a simpler way. Once it appears when it takes the money, we can just snipe it and knock it out. "
Everyone added on to the plan. Mo Qiong had already proposed the general plan. Next was to add on the details.
For example, if the shadow had a way to break free, how to immediately remedy the situation and prevent it from escaping.
In short, everyone had thoroughly studied the method of using the cube to trap the shadow. They could guarantee that as long as the shadow dared to enter their encirclement, it would definitely not be able to escape.
The equipment provided by the club was really excellent. In just ten minutes after the request was made, the compressed portable container was ready.
Instead, it was more time-consuming to transport the money to the various hiding places and hand it over to the brothers lying in ambush.
In order to avoid being seen by Chris, everyone first walked to a brightly lit area to see if their shadows would fade. After making sure that they were not being followed, they took the container from the passerby.
It was a small ball about the size of a fist. There was a button on it, and once pressed, it would immediately expand. It was like a tent that automatically unfolded. It propped up in an instant, forming an opaque brown cube.
One side of the cube was open and connected to a light-blocking board. It could be easily closed and tightly wrapped, making the cube a seamless encirclement structure.
"Mo Qiong, everything is ready."
"I'm done here too."
"The deployment is complete. All we need to do is wait for the shadow to appear."
Everyone reported their progress. Mo Qiong asked everyone to be on standby. He and You Xin lay on the bed and pretended to be asleep. In fact, they were secretly alert, waiting for Chris's arrival.
About twenty minutes later, the brother in charge of relaying the surveillance information reported, "Mo Qiong, we found the shadow!"
"It's here! Where is it? " Mo Qiong was extremely excited. Actually, he was most afraid that the moment when he was distracted in the bathroom would make Chris suspicious.
If that was the case, Chris would definitely delay the mission and not take action tonight.
At that time, they would be in the light while Chris was in the dark. The more they acted, the more flaws there would be.
"Mo Qiong, it's with me!" Yan Wei said.
"Okay!"
Mo Qiong and You Xin immediately jumped off the bed. They turned on the lights and compared their shadows.
Although it was only one shadow, Mo Qiong still had to guard against the possibility that the shadow could split into two. After all, under certain light sources, there would be multiple shadows.
After confirming that he was not, Mo Qiong said, "I'll rush over immediately. The success rate this time is the highest. We must catch him!"
…
You Xin and Mo Qiong were racing crazily on the street. Mo Qiong pressed a button on the stereo. Immediately, the cabinet in front of him opened up and an LCD screen extended out.
"Show me the surveillance footage!" Mo Qiong said.
Soon, a warehouse was shown on the screen. Among the many goods in the warehouse, a petite shadow was sliding on the boxes.
There was no one near the shadow. Under the bright moonlight, it was an isolated shadow.
Of course, this was captured by the secret surveillance camera. The surveillance camera in the warehouse could not see it at all. The path that the shadow was taking was all blind spots. With the help of the goods, it was impossible for a normal camera to see it.
"Where is this?" Mo Qiong asked.
"The casino. Our people are guarding the place where the money was stolen. It's a warehouse at the other pier. There's five million USD worth of money hidden in the office over there," Yan Wei said.
"Is everyone ready?" Mo Qiong asked.
"Of course. Our people have surrounded the warehouse. All the skylights, passageways, and even the cracks of the door are guarded. This shadow is under our surveillance. He won't know that there are so many people outside unless he can see through things, "Yan Wei said.
"If he could see through things, he would have run away by now," Mo Qiong said.
In the warehouse, the shadow entered the office.
He ran straight to the destination. Everyone immediately knew that he had been here.
However, he was just checking the place. Just like when he was attached to Mo Qiong's shadow, he must have come with the casino's higher-ups to see where the money was hidden.
Then, when there was no one around, he would come and steal the money.
"Do we make a move?" Yan Wei said.
"Wait a little longer. Wait for him to show up! A person is much easier to catch than a shadow! "Mo Qiong said.
He was rushing to the scene. In the surveillance footage, the shadow had already found the location of the money. He was standing there in a daze.
"What's going on?" Mo Qiong frowned. Why was he not moving?
"Did he find out about the secret surveillance camera?"
Yan Wei said, "Our surveillance system is brand new. 'Normal people' won't be able to find out!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the shadow jumped and ran toward the window of the warehouse.
"Turn on the lights!" Mo Qiong shouted.
Immediately, the warehouse was lit up. The shadow was very clear under the light. Outside the window, a member of the outer circle covered the container and blocked the window.
However, the shadow seemed to be very vigilant. He did not fall into the cage because of the sudden block.
He turned around abruptly. The shadow continued to run up the wall. Soon, he reached the skylight. Just as he was about to show himself, he was covered by a light blocking board.
This repeated. The shadow had no way out. He swayed left and right on the wall. Soon, he was surrounded by everyone.
Everyone broke into the warehouse and connected the light blocking board to reduce the shadow's range of movement.
As long as the shadow dared to get on the light blocking board, everyone would immediately cover it with the box in their hands and trap it in the cube.
Seeing that the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, even if the shadow did not get on the board, he could rely on the wall to form a closed cube. Mo Qiong realized a problem.
They, the captors, had shadows too! As the encirclement shrunk, their shadows were also on the wall.
The shadow leaped and covered someone's shadow. More than ten people's shadows intertwined. It was a mess. They could not tell each other apart, let alone find Chris.
"Quick, use the searchlight to shine on it!" Mo Qiong shouted.
They had expected such a situation. There was a searchlight at the scene to distinguish between the enemy's shadow and their own.
When the strong light shone, everyone's shadow was reflected in the container!
If you want to disguise yourself, sure. Our shadows are already in the container. Are you going in or not?
If you don't, with the addition of another light, everyone's shadow would still be exposed.
It could be said that they were very well-prepared.
However, just as Mo Qiong thought that the shadow was going to be contained, the only stubborn shadow that was exposed suddenly grabbed Yan Wei's shadow.
"Huh?" Everyone was shocked.
One shadow reached out to grab another shadow. The other shadow was pulled until it was deformed.
A silent tearing happened quickly. Yan Wei's shadow was pulled from her feet. The two shadows merged.
"What!" Mo Qiong thought to himself.
It could actually tear off someone's shadow!
What would happen if a person lost their shadow? Mo Qiong's brain was thinking crazily.
However, Yan Wei, who had lost his shadow, had already given him the answer.
"Ah!" Yan Wei covered his eyes and fell from the wall.
"How are you!" Mo Qiong was concerned.
"Dazzling! The light is too dazzling. It's useless even if I close my eyes! "Yan Wei's eyes were red with tears.
Yes, Yan Wei covered his eyes. However, everyone could still see his pupils.
To be precise, Yan Wei's skin, muscles, bones, blood vessels, nerves, and organs were all exposed to everyone!
What a strange scene. Yan Wei's body was glowing with divine light. It was as if the insides of his body were shining brightly. All the details were exposed.
At the same time, they could see the miraculous appearance of his skin and organs. It was indescribable. It was as if countless kaleidoscopes were stacked together. There were even some blurry images.
"Did you lose all your shadows?" Mo Qiong immediately analyzed Yan Wei's current situation.
There was no shadow. However, Yan Wei was not transparent. Therefore, the light forcefully penetrated his body.
To the eyes, there was no point in covering the eyes. The eyelids had no shadow. The pupils were directly exposed under the strong light.
Not only that, it was useless to cover it with one's hands because there was no shadow. Even the back of Yan Wei's head did not have a shadow. The light from behind also shone in.
The light illuminated his entire body. Under the scattering light, Yan Wei's insides and exterior were exposed for everyone to see.
When a person saw something, they received the light from the environment. Although Yan Wei's skin did not reflect visible light, the visible light from behind his body carried information into the eyes of others. Therefore, he was still visible. However, it was as if countless translucent pictures were stacked on top of each other.
Everyone received the light in Yan Wei's body, blood vessels, heart, and brain. They could see him inside and out, front and back. Of course, they could only see the macroscopic things after dissecting Yan Wei. The microscopic things could not be analyzed by the human eye.
"Ah!" Yan Wei covered his eyes in pain. The heat from the light directly damaged the cells in his body. It was equivalent to all the light being strong radiation to him.
Without the protection of reflection, the radiation Yan Wei endured was tens of thousands of times stronger than normal people!
Under the illumination of the searchlight, Mo Qiong could even see that Yan Wei's organs were starting to change color!
Radiation subtly affected the cells. Yan Wei's internal radiation and external radiation were stacked. The more radiation energy his body received, the more it would gradually cause diseases and all kinds of radiation diseases.
"Turn off the lights!" Mo Qiong shouted.
