Chapter 19 City of Shadows
Eye of truth!
More precisely, this is a little more energy projection projected by the Eye of Truth after being summoned to the Blue Star.
But...what is the Eye of Truth?
A cosmic treasure that can give people knowledge?
Zu Li, who only got the "name" information about black shadows, could only guess like this. After guessing for a long time but not sure, he sorted out the other knowledge he had just obtained, but his expression became strange.
Because although he has not gained much knowledge, it is related to the current situation of the universe, and there are a few in total.
1. Star Alliance is an alliance composed of multiple cosmic civilizations in the known universe, and was established after the end of the Dark Exploration Festival.
2. The Star Alliance provides shelter for known newborn civilizations (surface-level civilizations) and ensures that the development of newborn civilizations will not be interfered with by other higher civilizations as much as possible.
3. The Elf Clan belongs to the cosmic civilization, is also a member of the Star Alliance, and is one of the three giants of the Star Alliance.
Although Zuli has not gained any other knowledge except these three, there is no doubt that these three are of great value to Zuli, which at least gives him a preliminary understanding of the current situation of the universe.
Is this a coincidence?
Zuli glanced at the black eyes that were dissipating in the air and no longer had the function of giving people knowledge, and then shook his head.
He didn't believe it was a coincidence. If it were a coincidence, how could the knowledge he had obtained happened to be what he wanted to know recently!
So... is it the Eye of Truth that gives contact knowledge in a targeted manner?
Zuli thought about something.
Fortunately, he didn't worry about this issue for long, and then looked at the Queen of Shadowman.
The Shadow Queen's face was pale at this time, and even the shadow under her feet faded a lot at this time. Obviously, it would cost her a huge price to summon the energy projection of the Eye of Truth.
This is just Zuli's observation only on the surface. In fact, if Zuli can directly observe the essence of the Queen of the Shadow, he will find that the afterimage of the Shadow Queen's fragmented ability, as the core of the energy, is now a complete two-thirds smaller than before.
However, despite paying such a great price, the shadow queen had a satisfied smile on her pale face. Obviously, as the summoner of the Eye of Truth projection, she also got the information she wanted.
"Human...hehe!"
The Queen of Shadowman seemed to have thought of something interesting and laughed softly.
Seeing this, Zu Li next to him couldn't help but frown, and he had a bad premonition.
No, there must be a bad premonition! After all, the film queen is obviously done for filmmakers, and things that are beneficial to filmmakers are not easy to say for humans.
Just as Su Li was guessing what the film queen wanted to do in her heart, the system prompt sound finally rang again.
[The energy afterimage of the fragments of the unknown universe's treasures does not only infect the shadow man, it also carries some knowledge. On the seventeenth day after humans cleaned up the shadow man, the shadow man queen finally obtained the method of summoning the Eye of Truth from the energy afterimage.]
[In order to invade Blue Star more quickly, the Shadow Queen chose to summon the projection of the Eye of Truth to obtain the knowledge she wanted. After paying a huge price, she succeeded.]
【Three days later, the Shadow City is established.】
Time accelerated again, and this time only gave Zuli a few pictures. When the time accelerated to a halt, he was already above a bustling city.
This is obviously no longer in Xia Kingdom. Su Li turned his gaze several times with a confused look on his face, and finally his eyes were frozen at a stone sculpture holding a torch, and he suddenly realized.
It turns out to be the United States never sleeps!
Wait a moment, the system prompts "The first shadow city is established", but is he opening his perspective in the city that never sleeps?
Su Li raised his eyebrows, and in a second, he understood what this meant, and his expression was strange for a moment, then frowned again and began to pay attention to the situation of the city below.
Just like the system's previous urinary nature, the city that never sleeps still makes people unable to see anything wrong, but Zu Li, who knows the system, knows that since his perspective has been brought up, it must have been a few minutes for the accident.
Sure enough, after enjoying the exotic charm for a few minutes in Zuli, an incident happened!
The shadows surged out of every inch of the Never Sleeping City without warning, covering the entire city within a few minutes. From the perspective of the Soviet revisionist, the Never Sleeping City at this moment seemed to be stamped with a black shadow filter, which seemed depressing and dangerous.
"What?"
"Is this a shadow?"
"My God, is this the devil coming to the earth?"
"Help!"
The people in the city who never sleeps naturally would not not notice this sudden and unconcealed change. Countless people looked at the reason that covered the ground in surprise. Some were stunned, some were at a loss, and some people quickly jumped to the roof of the parked car next to them.
Many vehicles that were driving on the road chose to brake at this time, and some people even caused the disaster in the year. For a while, the traffic in the city was in chaos.
"Hello, humans!"
The Chinese language sounds from the car radio, from the large screens that are usually used for advertising on buildings, from every computer or TV that is being used.
Zuli looked at the big screen on a building and saw that what was reflected on it was the Shadow Queen. However, at this time, the Shadow Queen's state was quite special, not a purely human state, nor a shadow state, but more like it was between the two.
Her body still looks like a human, but there is a dark shadow churning on it, and the smoke wrapped her around her. At this time, the shadow queen looked very imposing as a big dark boss.
After using a sentence to attract the attention of most people, the Queen of Shadow continued:
"Introduce yourself, I am Shadow, you can call me Shadow Queen."
"The reason I met you here today is to tell everyone something."
"Great, humans, you are about to become my subjects!"
As soon as this said, the crowd exploded instantly. Most people looked at the shadow queen on the screen with unbelievable eyes, while a small number of people showed doubts or fears.
"hehe……"
Although she spoke through the screen, the Queen of Shadowman seemed to have guessed the reaction of the people in the city who never sleeps. She laughed unceremoniously and then said: "Don't be surprised, don't panic. You just need to accept the reality."
As if a switch was turned on, the originally calm shadow on the ground suddenly rolled up and then wrapped around the human being in the shadow.
Countless people were caught off guard by the shadows in this shock. Even if a few of them had previously reported to jump to a high place, the shadows spread upwards with time, and swallowing them up is not a matter of time.
Ordinary people have no power to resist at this time. Even extraordinary people can resist the initial invasion and are then engulfed by more and more shadows.
In just ten minutes, the entire city never sleeps was covered by shadows, and from Zuli's perspective, only a ball of blackness could be seen.
Chapter completed!
