Chapter 661 The Fleeing Shadow
Chapter 661 The Fleeing Shadow
"Have a good rest tonight. If you don't have anything to do, don't go out casually."
This was the only sentence Gu Chaoxi uttered on the way back to his room.
The remaining few people had different expressions, but they still nodded obediently.
However, the person who had just returned to the room opened the door and came out after a while. The difference was that he had a small knife hidden on his body.
It was stolen from the café in Perimeter, and no one seemed to notice.
She walked along the corridor towards the stairs. When she was about to reach the end, she heard the sound of a door opening behind her, followed by steady footsteps.
He didn't look back, but instead slowed down his pace as he walked down the stairs until the person behind him caught up with him.
Turning around, it was Pei Yan, just as expected.
"I'm going to go see Du Yuzhao, what about you?"
"Just like you."
Ever since Gu Chaoxi said that there was someone else with Du Yuzhao, he became a little concerned.
Are there really some unknown secrets hidden in those two rooms that are rarely shown to the public?
Although it was dark, some business billboards on the street were still lit. Although there were few pedestrians, it was not lonely.
The two walked along the street to the end and came to Du Yuzhao's wood carving shop.
The shop door was locked at this time, and it was locked from the outside. It seemed that Du Yuzhao did not live here.
Pei Yan looked around and made sure that no one noticed the two of them before he bent down to fiddle with the lock.
What I learned from Qin Wei is now useful.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he remained calm on his face and quickly opened the lock with a small wire.
"Let's go in." He raised his hand and stroked Gu Chaoxi's back, and the two of them walked in.
There was not much light in the room, but thanks to the light from the street, I could still barely see what was going on in the store.
There aren't many people here now, so you can see the general outline of the store.
Enter from the door and walk to the left, which is where they sit during the day. The display stands on the right, with the finished wood carvings on them, have all kinds of strange outlines.
Without stopping for too long, the two walked towards the inside and stopped in front of one of the doors.
"Wait." Gu Chaoxi spoke in a low voice. He leaned his head against the door and listened. There seemed to be no movement inside.
She reached out, grasped the door handle, and slowly turned it downwards, and then the door opened a crack.
The two looked into the room. There were shelves all around, which looked like they were filled with materials and some tools.
In dim light, you can't actually see many things clearly.
But the dark mass in the middle attracts some attention.
Pei Yan raised his hand to feel the wall, trying to turn on the light. In just a moment, the black shadow seemed to sense something and suddenly jumped up from the ground.
"Ayan, be careful!" Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and pushed him away, then stepped back and rolled on the ground.
At the same time, Pei Yan pressed the switch and the light came on.
The two turned around and looked at the black shadow, which was just like the black shadow Gu Chaoxi saw last night, with its fangs and claws bared, clinging to the ground and walls, as if it was about to attack people.
This black color is so dark that it seems to swallow everything.
Gu Chaoxi took a step back, propped up his arms and stood up, staring intently at the mass.
Pei Yan's eyes were also quite serious at this time. He didn't know how this thing would attack people, or even devour people?
All in all, it's not a good thing either way.
Just as the two were on high alert, the black shadow slowly retreated backwards and then rushed out of the door they had just opened.
It is no exaggeration to use this word, because in just a moment, the thing rushed out.
Afterwards, Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan looked at each other and chased after him.
The shape of the black shadow on the ground is not fixed, just like a pool of water, with irregular edges as it moves, but the center of gravity is always in the front.
"Follow!"
The dark shadow quickly headed towards the art museum and slipped into the museum through the crack in the door.
The two men stopped in front of the art museum, panting. Looking at the dark art museum in front of them, they knew it was closed at this time. How could they get in?
You can't pick the lock of the art gallery door on the street, right?
"What on earth is that thing trying to do?" She supported her lower back and gasped, feeling a little confused.
Pei Yan was about to answer when a voice came from behind him: "Hey, you guys, haven't you rested yet?"
Turning around, I saw Zhou Jie holding something like an iron basin in his hand and pouring water out of it. It was probably some kind of machine, right?
Gu Zhaoxi raised her hand to smooth her hair and smiled at him: "Nothing, I couldn't sleep, so I went for a night run."
"So you still have this habit."
"It just came recently." She smiled awkwardly, raised her hand and pulled Pei Yan's arm, walked into the cafe, and glanced at Zhou Jie who came in with her.
"If it's convenient, can you make me a small cake? I'm a little hungry."
“Sure, wait a minute.” Zhou Jie responded and walked towards the counter.
Pei Yan and she sat down near the bar. There were not many lights on in the cafe, just a few, but it was enough to see clearly.
The place where they sat was relatively bright.
"I saw that thing here yesterday. It was hanging from the ceiling and trying to swallow the perimeter."
"So it's the dangerous factor of this plane?" Pei Yan thought about it and felt something was wrong.
Nothing has happened in this dimension yet, such as anyone's death.
So what does this black shadow represent? They saw it together in Du Yuzhao's woodcarving shop tonight, and Gu Zhaoxi saw it here in the perimeter yesterday.
What does it mean?
Both of them were thinking, but couldn't figure out anything.
The black shadow just ran away without causing any harm to the two of them. In other words, the black shadow was not aggressive towards passers-by like them.
In other words, it is non-aggressive to their players.
Zhou Jie made it very quickly. In just ten minutes, he placed the dessert in front of Gu Zhaoxi and talked to her with a smile: "It just so happens that I have researched new products. You can try it and see if it tastes good."
It was hard to refuse someone so enthusiastic, so she picked up the spoon and scooped a piece into her mouth.
Although the coffee here in Zhoujie is not quite to her taste, this little dessert is quite good.
"It tastes great. I think you are suitable for this."
“Really?” Zhou Jie’s eyes seemed to light up a little, and he scratched his hair awkwardly: “But this is just my hobby.”
The main selling point of a coffee shop is still the coffee, and Zhou Jie thinks that his coffee is not bad.
