I control the world with magic
Chapter 30
Su Mu frowned slightly: "A house that accommodates everyone? Wouldn't a crowd attract the shadow?"
"Indeed, a crowd will increase the probability of attracting the shadow, but it is not impossible for a single person to be found by the shadow. The shadow cannot be killed at all. There are only two ways to stop the shadow. The first method is the candle. As long as you put yourself in the light, the shadow will not be able to do anything. As for the second method, it is..."
Ye Fanyu suddenly lowered his voice and whispered: "Sacrifice others. The shadow has a characteristic. Once it targets someone, it will always follow and cause the candle to burn more. That is the shadow consuming light. At this time, the only way to stop following is to let another person be captured by the shadow."
Su Mu immediately understood why Ye Fanyu had been bringing these ordinary people with him. It turned out that he was acting as a shield. If he was alone, once he was targeted by the shadow, he could only wait to die. The candle will always run out one day.
He also knew why Ye Fanyu told him the news, because he also brought many ordinary people with him, and because Ye Fanyu regarded him as a superhuman, he planned to join forces to fight against the nightmare monster.
The role of ordinary people here is to act as consumables.
"So that's the case, then do as you say." Su Mu nodded in agreement.
The two decided on the next arrangement in a few words. No one asked for other people's opinions. Ordinary people had no say in front of superhumans.
The group quickly set out and walked into the darkness outside the door one after another. The darkness surged like a tide, covering everyone's figures, and only the white paper lanterns in their hands emitted a faint candlelight.
Everyone walked very slowly and carefully. There were only dense footsteps and some nervous breathing in the darkness.
Before they walked far, Su Mu in the team suddenly stopped.
Ye Fanyu and Yang Dongqing on the side noticed Su Mu's abnormality and stopped immediately.
"Mr. Su? What's wrong?" Ye Fanyu asked in a low voice.
"No." Su Mu replied calmly. His mental power far surpassed that of ordinary people, which made him feel a little strange.
Ye Fanyu felt uneasy inexplicably: "What's wrong?"
"The footsteps are wrong."
"Footsteps?"
"Yes, there is one less footstep." Su Mu's pale face showed an interested smile, which looked a bit weird against the background of darkness.
"What!?" Everyone was shocked.
He turned around and looked, his eyes narrowed, and he carefully counted the number of people. Those men in black stood like sculptures.
"Hey, how many people did you bring this time?"
Zhao Chaoyao's face tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Leader, a total of thirteen people."
As soon as these words came out, everyone obviously realized something, and all looked at the group of men in black at the end of the team, and Ye Fanyu counted them in a concentrated voice.
"One, two, three... ten, eleven,... twelve!? There are only twelve people!"
"Black shadow! It's a black shadow!" His face suddenly changed: "Damn it, disperse quickly, the more people gather, the more attention the black shadow will attract!"
Li Qiang and the others who followed Ye Fanyu before dispersed quickly as if it was a conditioned reflex, and everyone kept a distance of more than two meters, with a look of panic.
Different from their panic, Su Mu and his group did not move at all, still standing in the same place, only Yang Dongqing gritted his teeth and distanced himself from the crowd.
"Mr. Su, disperse quickly, the black shadow will be silent for a short time after killing people, don't gather together at this time, the black shadow will retreat after a while! Once it gathers, it may appear again, hold the lantern, and don't leave the range covered by the candlelight." Ye Fanyu said anxiously.
Due to the limited number of lanterns, there were not enough for everyone to share. Except for Ye Fanyu and his group, each of them had one. When it came to Su Mu, only Yang Dongqing, Zhao Zhaoyao, and Su Mu himself had one each.
"Mr. Ye, will the black shadow only pull one person at a time?" Su Mu asked calmly, his brown glasses covering his eyes, making it difficult to see his expression.
"That's right, the black shadow pulls one person in at a time! Mr. Su, the black shadow is hiding in the darkness around, quickly disperse!" Although Ye Fanyu didn't like Su Mu, at least he didn't want him to die at this time.
Su Mu smiled: "It doesn't matter, I just have a lot of people."
As he said that, he ordered a man in black at the end of the team: "Leave the range of the candlelight and stand in the dark."
"Yes, leader." The man did not hesitate at all, and walked straight out of the candlelight range and into the bottomless darkness.
He stood quietly in the darkness, and his figure became blurred, leaving only the outline of a human figure.
Ye Fanyu and others were terrified. None of them thought that Su Mu would be so cruel and directly let his younger brother die. The most important thing isYes, I will not look back.
Wang Li, who had failed to hug Ye Fanyu's thigh, planned to throw herself into Su Mu's arms. Now seeing this scene, she couldn't help but feel disappointed and gave up the idea.
This man was even more ruthless than Ye Fanyu. Even though he looked polite and gentle, he was extremely cold-blooded in his bones.
Under Su Mu's gaze, a shadow suddenly surged behind the younger brother standing in the dark. It was a shadow darker than the night. It kept twisting and extending, gradually bulging, and actually grew into a human figure!
The human figure was very thin, but very tall. It was like a giant of more than two meters with only bones left, but his arms were slender and almost hanging to the ground.
At the moment when the black shadow took shape, a pair of scarlet eyes opened in the position of its head, cold and indifferent, without any human emotions.
Ye Fanyu and others all showed fear on their faces, subconsciously retreated, and held their breath.
Su Mu watched the black shadow with interest, wanting to see the other party's next move.
Soon, the shadow moved, and a black hand slowly stretched out from the shadow, slender and dry, like a deformed branch, with five long nails at the tip of the fingertips.
The terrifying black hand slowly reached out to the younger brother, and for some reason, Su Mu actually saw a trace of strange elegance from it, like a gentleman reaching out to a beautiful lady at a grand party, inviting her to dance a waltz.
"Attack." Su Mu gave the order.
Without any hesitation, the younger brother took out a pistol from his waist and shot wildly at the twisted figure in the dark.
Bang bang bang...
Fire splashed!
The black shadow that was hit trembled like water waves, but it quickly returned to calm in the next second, unharmed.
Su Mu's eyes flashed, and he took off his brown glasses at some point. A pair of deep eyes emitted a faint light in the darkness, and the invisible mental power surged out and covered the black shadow.
He planned to try to see if he could hypnotize the black shadow, but the result disappointed him.
The mental power poured into the black shadow's body, just like entering a quagmire, without any splashes.
