Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

Face the invitation of the shadow tide.

Ibis hesitated.

If this was a conspiracy between Shinpei and Shadow Shio, then the moment Shadow Shio held her hand, she was essentially handing her life over to him.

The power of the Shadow Man should not be underestimated. Even though the projected appearance is just that of a young woman, the strength of her grip can easily break a human arm.

"What about shared memory... I've never heard of this ability before!"

Although Tokiko was worried about Kofune Mio's safety, she was not naive enough to be deceived by Shinpei's few words. How could she not know the abilities of the shadow man?

The Ryoga family had reached a cooperation with the shadows very early on. The two baby shadows controlled by Tokiko were also provided by Hiruko Kamaba Ina, so she was certain that Shinpei and his gang could not know more information than her.

"Zhu Luzi! You still don't believe it?!"

Diamond Window could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. "You were also there at the private beach incident! Shiori was dragged into the sea by Shadow! Ushio was strangled by the neck in order to save Shiori... I saw all this from Ushio's memory!"

After hearing her brother's account of the incident, Tokiko felt even more shaken.

From the beginning until now, Diamond Window should have no idea about the situation in his own home, let alone the specific process of the beach incident. The more this is the case, the more worried Tokiko is about Kofune Mio.

"Put her down..."

The burly Shadow who controlled Shadow Tide with one hand immediately did as he was told and placed the blonde girl on the surface of the water.

Zhu Luzi took a step forward, no longer holding any hesitation in her eyes, and walked towards Shadow Tide.

Seeing her stretch out her hand without any defense, Shadow Chao was also quite relieved. He also raised his uninjured right hand and gently held the other party's hand. "To be honest, I am extremely uncomfortable now, but in order to make Zhu Luzi believe in us, this little pain is nothing!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shadow Tide activated her ability and passed on all the important experiences she had in the past to Zhu Luzi.

The tragic summer festival on July 7th left tourists' bodies piled up like a mountain...

Shadow Mio's invasion and attack mercilessly scratched Shadow Ushio's arm...

All the battle scenes related to the shadow were displayed in front of Zhu Luzi.

After a moment, the two let go of each other's hands.

Zhu Luzi remained in shock and despair, her voice trembling: "How could it be... have I been deceived? These things are not what I expected at all. Why did I dirty my hands..."

Shadow Chao saw tears flowing from her eyes and she was in depression and panic. Shadow Chao took the initiative to step forward and put his forehead against hers, "It's okay. With us here, we will definitely crush Shadow's conspiracy."

"Hmm...hmm!" Zhu Luzi listened to Yingzi Chao's encouraging words, and she slowly regained her confidence.

The four of them regrouped here, and under the protection of the two shadows, they headed in the direction they had just come from.

After Tokiko's revelation, Shinpei and his companions also learned the secret of the Hishigata family and the lies that Tokiko heard.

The legend of the leech god that has been believed in this island actually exists.

His name is Bodao, he is the god of Ridu Island and the mother of all shadows.

However, the Hiruko God is now very weak and can only maintain the appearance of a child. Due to malnutrition, he needs to absorb "intelligence" through blood transfusions.

The food that shadows eat will be transformed into intelligence, and food that is rich in intelligence is their favorite.

But Bodao is a little special. She likes the information contained in blood and human beings themselves... No matter whether they are living people or corpses, they can greatly satisfy Bodao's appetite.

Bodao did not actively slaughter the residents on the island, so all the humans she ate died of natural causes.

Therefore, the Diamond Hospital is an accomplice of the Shadow Man, who swapped the bodies of the deceased, secretly transferred them underground, and let Bo Dao eat them.

"What kind of god is this?!" Diamond Window couldn't stand the thought that his family had become Shadow's accomplice, "Why should we take care of it like this!"

Hearing this, Zhu Luzi couldn't help but feel a little angry, "It is because of my brother's character that my father designated me as the heir! I can understand my brother's attitude... But if it weren't for Bo Dao's help, my mother would have died long ago..."

"Huh? What do you mean... Tokiko, why are you talking about your mother now?"

The diamond-shaped window vaguely guessed the answer, but the resistance to the shadow in his heart made him unwilling to believe it.

Even so, Zhu Luzi told him the truth in person, "Mother...she survived by becoming a shadow. Of course, my brother couldn't detect it. Even if mother is a shadow, she is still our relative."

Having said that, Tokiko turned her gaze towards Shadow Uo.

Shinpei and Diamond Window immediately understood what she meant. Kofuncho had become a shadow, but they also regarded him as a good friend, and their feelings for each other remained unchanged.

Tokiko continued to explain.

The number of deaths on Ridu Island has decreased in recent years, and it has become increasingly difficult for Bodao to obtain "food".

So according to their father's plan, when the summer festival comes, the shadow people will quietly take action and grab "food" from the bustling crowd so that Bo Dao can get treatment, so that the mother of the brother and sister can survive.

Except, the plan was a scam.

"Wait a minute, if the bodies were all food for the Bodao, then that would mean that Kofuneo's body wasn't cremated, right, Tokiko?"

Shinpei's question was confirmed by Tokiko, and Shadow Uo immediately understood the importance of this information.

Now Shadow Tide's body has suffered irreversible damage. If he wants to get treatment, he needs to "scan" Xiao Zhouchao's body again.

The next goal is clear. Shinpei and his team need to take back Kofune's body before Hata eats it.

Just as everyone arrived at the resettlement site of Bodao, a scene appeared before them that was beyond Zhu Luzi's expectations.

A huge, inky black shadow stood like a barrier in the middle of the cave, blocking out all light.

"What is this... a dead end?" Shinpei took out a flashlight and shone it ahead, but couldn't see anything.

Zhu Luzi also couldn't understand the current situation, "I don't know, the dormitory of Hata should be in front..."

"I can feel it. This is the breath of a shadow, but there is more than one, and it gives me a very strange feeling." Shadow Chao sensed the barrier while slowly walking forward, trying to touch the barrier with his palm.

Shinpei hurriedly stopped him when he saw this, "Don't be impatient! Since this is made of shadows, it might be dangerous."

After saying that, he asked Shadow Tide to use his hair to project the nail gun again.

Even though he had just thrown this equipment into the pool, the complete data of the nail gun still existed in Shadow Tide's mind, and the complex equipment printed by Shadow could be used without restrictions.

Therefore, whether it is a nail gun or a shotgun, the bullets are unlimited.

Except there's one thing you need to note: if the range exceeds 50 meters, the bullet will disappear into thin air.

Shinpei raised the nail gun in his hand and fired continuously at the shadow barrier in front of him.

But all the nails slowly merged into the shadows, and there was no other feedback. Seeing this, Diamond Window raised the insecticide and lighter again and sprayed out all the remaining capacity.

Under the burning of the flames, the shadow barrier fluctuated and ripples appeared on the surface like water, but it quickly returned to normal.

"At least weapons like fire can work." Diamond Window threw away the exhausted insecticide and thought about how to break through the wall.

"Let me do it, Guildenstern!" Ibis called out.

The baby shadow who had been following everyone walked quickly forward, clenched his huge fist, and smashed it hard on the barrier.

There was a noise similar to that of electric current, and the shadow controlled by Tokiko lost its entire arm in the blink of an eye, but the barrier did not fluctuate at all.

The difficulty of the shadow barrier exceeded everyone's expectations.

"What should we do? If this goes on, we will never be able to take Chao's body away." Diamond Window was very distressed.

Only Shen Ping was adjusting his breathing, silently repeating in his heart: Looking down, looking down!

This is his secret to staying calm. When he is at a loss, another self will appear in his mind. He has the habit of objectively analyzing the situation from this other self's perspective, which is called "looking down".

The first thing Shinpei thought of was to use Shadow Tide's ability to copy the large fireworks used in the summer festival.

It’s a pity that time doesn’t allow it.

He then considered using gasoline, spraying the entire barrier with it, and then setting it on fire to burn through it.

The premise of this is that you need to quickly find a storage point for gasoline.

Just as he was about to ask Zhu Luzi, there was a noise behind them.

Two people were walking towards us from a distance, looking somewhat strange.

One of them was wearing a nurse's uniform and was holding a rectangular object in one hand. This action undoubtedly violated the laws of physics because her hand was only placed on the surface of the object, while the nurse held one in each hand.

Another person followed closely behind, wearing a white coat, and was a middle-aged man.

Diamond Window and Ibisko immediately recognized the identities of the two men.

The woman dressed as a nurse is a member of the Diamond Hospital.

And the middle-aged man was the siblings’ father—Rhombus Bronze.

Zhu Luzi said quickly and quietly: "It seems that the body has not been sent in yet. One of the two coffins must contain Chao's body... But be careful of the nurse, she is the shadow controlled by my father."

Shinpei and Shadowshio nodded, preparing to find an opportunity to snatch the coffin.

"Dad..." Diamond Window gritted his teeth and stared at the familiar face in the distance. He had so many words he wanted to ask the other person.

At this time, Diamond Bronze also noticed Shen Ping and his group. His face did not look good, his weathered and thin skin was tighter than usual, his eyes were slightly narrowed, revealing a strong sense of disappointment.

"Gen Laijun, stop first."

Following Diamond Bronze's command, the female nurse named Genlai stopped and placed the coffin, which she was lifting with one hand, into the water that was above her ankles.

The reason why the female nurse was able to lift the coffin with one hand was that she actually used her own shadow.

The diamond bronze and the female nurse gradually moved forward and stopped ten meters away from Shen Ping and others.

"Ibis, kill them."

He is the father of the two and also a doctor who saves lives, but now he treats Shinpei and the other two as ants and has no respect or awe for life at all.

"Dad, you've been fooled by the shadow." Zhu Luzi tried to wake up the diamond bronze. "Tomorrow's summer festival is not as simple as you think. No one on the island will be spared."

Even though her tone was sincere, Diamond Bronze was unmoved and instead looked angry, “You really are on their side, Tokiko… I’m very disappointed in you!”

Judging from the brief negotiation between the two, Diamond Bronze had no intention of reconciliation at all.

Shinpei and Shadow Ushio exchanged a glance, and the two shadows beside them also stepped forward. Since negotiations were ineffective, they had no choice but to use force.

"Gen come! Crush them to death!"

As the diamond-shaped bronze roared, the battle between the two sides was about to break out.

The female nurse's facial features instantly became extremely hideous, a large number of black shadows and flesh bulged out of the surface of her body, and her original female body was expanding rapidly!

In just three seconds, the nurse's outfit had already burst.

She was roaring with her hair disheveled, her face looked inhuman, and she transformed into a five-meter-tall giant monster with her strong muscles tensed. The next second, she leaned over and launched a fatal charge towards Shinpei and his group like a rampaging truck!

The originally quiet cave became extremely noisy with water splashing everywhere due to the giantess's stomping.

Zhu Luzi hurriedly gave orders and ordered the two shadows beside him to lead the way.

The tall shadows in the shape of babies, on the left and right, were equally unwilling to be outdone and clenched their fists to hit the giantess's body.

Bang!

The female giant took advantage of her size and fought one against two. Even though she was hit in the abdomen, she used her fist to blow up one of the shadows.

The attacked shadow only suffered damage to its surface projection, and the main body was not seriously damaged, but it also took time to repair, so it could not join the battlefield for a while.

Shinpei originally wanted to assist from the side. As long as he used the nail gun to fix three nails on the female giant's body, the battle could be easily won.

But he underestimated the power of the female giant, who could cause a strong vibration just by stepping on the ground with her feet.

If Shinpei had not retreated to the edge just now, he would have been affected by the female giant.

However, Shadow Tide seized the opportunity and turned into a pool of black shadow, revealing only half of his body. He moved along the wall of the cave and bypassed the giantess.

At the current speed of the shadow tide, it will soon reach the vicinity of the coffin.

The diamond bronze had a blank expression on his face, and merely glanced at the rapidly approaching tide of shadows, seemingly with no intention of stopping them.

Perhaps he was not able to stop the shadow either.

The female giant disrupted Shinpei's formation with just one strike, and her movements were not slow at all. She punched the diamond brothers and sisters again!

Shinpei is in an excellent position at the moment, on the side of the female giant. Since the surface projection of the female giant is extremely huge, her body is also magnified. With such a large shadow, Shinpei can easily drive the nail into the female giant's body without precise aiming.

However, Shinpei suddenly had a bad feeling at this moment, and he glanced at the diamond-shaped bronze.

It seemed that the opponent didn't pay any attention to the battlefield of the female giant. Instead, he turned his head to look in the direction of Shadow Tide. From the movements of his hands, it seemed as if he took something out of his clothes.

Shinpei immediately understood the diamond bronze's intention by looking down, so he quickly gave up aiming at the female giant and shouted in the direction of Shadow Tide:

"Chao! Watch out!"
