The officer whispered, "Lao San indeed doesn’t have it, but Joker might."
Lao Er was taken aback, he still habitually regarded Lao San as Lao San, yet he hadn’t realized that Lao San was no longer the sa.
"Sothing’s not right, sothing’s not right," Lao Er whispered, "even if Lao San is quite powerful now, this is just a show to him, why would he kill so many of my n? There’s sothing wrong with Lao San! Give the phone, I need to call Big Brother!"
The officer held him back: "How will you explain to the Silver City Duke? Are you going to tell him you secretly brought a camp of Genetic Warriors? That would reveal your intentions!"
Lao Er felt a toothache, this was like dumb eating bitter herbs, suffering in silence.
If Big Brother found out that he brought a camp of Genetic Warriors, he would surely guess he intended to usurp Lao San...
Wouldn’t Big Brother want to kill him then?
"Damn it, the arrow is on the string and has to be released. Co with , forget about the black shadows, we have to capture Lao San," said Lao Er, "quickly contact Lao Si and the Eighth Brother, tell them if it succeeds, I’ll take them with , have them co over imdiately to rendezvous!"
After speaking, Lao Er led the charge into the woods, yet a shadow had already trailed them from behind!
So sensed sothing unusual, but when they turned back to look at the forest, even with night vision goggles, they couldn’t find the Shadow’s trace.
Gradually, the shadow got closer and closer, only to see Lao Er suddenly turn around and grin fiercely: "Damn it, finally found you, I’ve been waiting for this!"
At this mont, two airships suddenly descended from the sky, and dozens of War Robots surrounded the shadow.
Bright searchlights shone from above, illuminating the shadow with utmost clarity.
"Capture it for , I want to see what kind of ghostly thing it is!" Lao Er snarled, "I’ve raised at least twenty Awakeners, can’t I even take you down?"
But the problem is... the Shadow is not afraid of death at all.
Instead of retreating, it advanced, using its powerful physical strength to approach an officer.
The officer fired his gun, but the Shadow suddenly, like a ghost, turned around and appeared behind him.
Lao Er was stunned, how could the Shadow be so fast?
You have to know, in all Cultivation systems, the Knights are the strongest in speed and strength, the pinnacle of all levels, and can beco the pinnacle as soon as they advance.
He himself is an A-Class Knight, yet this Shadow’s speed is a notch faster than his!
At this mont, Qing Chen’s shadow aid behind the officer and made two snipping motions...
The next mont, behind the officer, two identical dark shadows stood up simultaneously!
Not just that, outside of Lao Er’s encirclent of the Shadow, another Shadow slowly approached.
Lao Er’s scalp went numb, how could there be so many monsters?!
In fact, this was also Qing Chen’s recent new insight into the Silhouette... everyone’s shadow is not just one.
Scientifically speaking, the number of light sources in an environnt determines how many shadows a person will have when standing under them.
For example, the principle of a shadowless lamp in an operating room uses multiple light sources to dilute all shadows.
When Qing Chen previously understood the Silhouette, he discovered that its originator was Xu Xianchu, a general of the Northwestern Army of the Second Human Era, but according to historical records, Xu Xianchu’s shadow could be double his own strength.
In other words, if Xu Xianchu was a B-Class, then the shadow manifested by his extraordinary ability would have the strength and speed of an A-Class.
But looking at the Silhouette again, it’s apparently much weaker than Xu Xianchu’s ability.
Then Qing Chen pondered... could it be an issue with the thod of use?
Most people’s concept of shadows is that when you stand in the sunlight, there’s only one shadow behind you.
But at one mont, when Qing Chen walked on the midnight street, under the streetlamp’s illumination ahead, he clearly had three or four shadows of varying lightness and darkness.
At that mont, Qing Chen understood where the problem lay...
However, although there are many shadows, at most only two can be snipped, which corresponds to Xu Xianchu’s ability.
Of course, even two are terrifying enough...
Previously, Qing Chen used a flashlight combined with sunlight to cast two shadows of himself, scattered in the woods, now they all gathered together.
Now, two airships were hovering over everyone’s heads, casting searchlights from them, projecting two shadows for everyone...
Once everyone faces two shadows of themselves, even Awakeners and Cultivators will perish!
Lao Er seed to have realized sothing, muttering to himself: "How the hell do we fight this?! Quick, quick, quick, notify the airships to turn off the searchlights!"
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
In another direction, Qing Chen had already charged over, his powerful Electromagnetic Pulse within isolating all communications.
He and two shadows completed the encirclent of hundreds of people.
