Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 163 [Shadow of Reason] Today is 16.26 Spring Begins

Chen Ning'an stood in the darkness and observed. As the S value continued to decrease, something quite special would appear.

The first thing he saw was a vague shadow. The shadow flickered, appearing and disappearing. Especially with the darkness covering it, it was basically impossible to see.

Chen Ning'an's eyes were extremely sharp, and he had been staring at her before he could observe. Qian Ding was becoming more and more painful, and soon something was slowly approaching her from behind.

It was a shadow, a terrifying shadow, invisible and intangible, but it caused Qian Ding's S value to drop terribly.

This thing, feeds on chaos?

"hey-hey."

Suddenly she laughed, took off her clothes one by one, threw herself on the red-hot iron gate, and rolled over.

She treated herself as a piece of fat in a frying pan, sizzling with oil. The two lumps of fat on her chest had long melted away, and the door was covered with burn marks. She became more and more painful, but also happier. Soon, her whole body became blurred.

Physically ambiguous.

Chen Ning'an's gaze did not fall on Qian Ding, but on the invisible and intangible black shadow beside her. Every time Qian Ding was about to regain a little sanity because of the pain, it would continue to be sucked away.

Would Mucheng not know about this?

Of course you know it, then the answer is obvious.

The corners of Chen Ning'an's mouth curled up, Mu Cheng, hehe.

Qian Ding's breath was getting weaker and weaker. He estimated that he could not see anything more, so he decided to intervene.

At the same time, he also wanted to see what this thing was.

He first threw out a small stone, which then passed through the shadow's body without any hindrance.

Chen Ningan raised his eyebrows. Physical attack is ineffective?

He reached into his arms and this time threw out broken nails from wood struck by lightning. It was actually useful and directly nailed the black shadow to pieces.

It "exploded" like a balloon, with only one or two pieces falling to the ground like black tissue.

He took a step forward to pick it up, but failed because his physical body could not reach it.

His body is not ordinary, how could he not be able to lift it?

This shows that the other party's true level is at least not weaker than his.

But he was in no time. His body did not move, but his soul half walked out of his body and bent down to grab the shadow.

It worked as expected. He picked up the two black shadows, one big and one small, and they kept squirming in his hands.

"Gulu~"

His Yin spirit heads emerged from his shoulders, revealing a sense of desire.

Chen Ning'an's heart moved, and he first gave the small piece to the Yin Shen's head. After swallowing it, he clearly felt that his Yin Shen had become a little stronger.

It’s not poisonous, it’s a great tonic!

His eyes were full of joy, and his soul ate the big piece. Sure enough, his soul began to grow stronger again.

This is like getting a physical exercise. Mucheng, ah, Mucheng, you've come to the right place, really!

He was delighted, and Qian Ding's mental state recovered rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye because he was no longer affected by the black shadow. He soon let out a scream and jumped down from the iron gate.

All of her epidermal tissue had melted, she was almost half-cooked, and her kidneys had almost completely failed.

But she still did not die. There was a mysterious power in her body that sustained her life.

Ghost destroyed the body.

There is a ghost inside Qian Ding's body, and it is a beautiful female ghost, which causes her appearance and personality to change.

Now this change is forcing her body to recover and prevent its flame from being extinguished.

But the problem now is not this, but the jailer outside the door. The dragging sound is getting louder and louder, and is approaching them.

Because no one was blocking the iron gate, there was a gap, so everyone would obviously be discovered.

Everyone was panicking. Charlie had said that they must not be discovered by the prison guards, otherwise they would be imprisoned.

"How to do?"

"The deputy team leader has lost control of his mind, and we dare not approach the iron gate!"

A team member looked at Chen Ning'an and shouted to him, "Newcomer, come here quickly. Don't get so close to the door. Let's find a solution together!"

The man was so nervous that he was shaking all over, but he still comforted everyone: "It's okay, there will be a way, there will definitely be a way, as long as we unite, unite...

That’s what they said, but when the iron door made a “click” sound, they were so scared that they almost screamed!
Chen Ning'an didn't move. This was a great opportunity. These people's mental state was still declining.

He found that after he ate the black thing, he had a certain sense of their S values ​​and was no longer able to make a rough guess based on their mental state.

"Are we going to die?"

Some people broke down and cried, and their S values ​​dropped rapidly.

Chen Ning'an observed carefully and waited for the black shadow to gradually appear.

Don’t miss out on something that is very nutritious.

As for Qian Ding on the ground, he was already curled up in the corner like a dead dog. Even with the blessing of the ghost body breaking, it would take a lot of time and energy to recover.

Out.

With the sound of the door creaking, only Chen Ningan and the two paper figures were safe among the six people inside. With Chen Ningan's protection, they were not affected.

"Master, what should I do?"

Er Dingyan was a little anxious: "I should be in front of you to protect you."

"No need."

He was just a jailer, he was not that inferior. If he had not been waiting for the other person's S value to be reset to zero, he would have gone out and eaten the jailer long ago.

He played tricks and never got beaten.

Finally, the shadow appeared again, but it was not as big as the previous one.

He acted decisively, but this time it was not a wooden nail that was struck by lightning, but a talisman.

Thunder Talisman!

With an almost imperceptible "pop" sound, the black shadow exploded. For this kind of thing, the effects of the two were almost the same, but unfortunately only a mass of matter appeared on the ground.

He didn't waste it, he quickly picked it up and put it in his mouth, feeling his soul moaning in comfort.

However, the S values ​​of both of them dropped to zero almost at the same time, and only a black shadow showed up.

Pity.

The sanity of the other two people gradually returned, and after being freed from the influence of this thing, they gradually became like normal people.

Chen Ningan asked why people in Zhongcheng didn’t have something like S value, but people in Mucheng did.

It seems that there is a hand controlling all this, which is another mystery.

The paper man talisman fell from his hand and was pasted on the remaining people one by one.

When it came time to settle the bill, an unexpected event occurred.

"Who are you!"

She regained some of her sanity: "It's impossible for a newcomer to be unaffected like you, why didn't your S value change!"

She became very alert because this newcomer had been very calm from the beginning until now, and his various behaviors were too strange.

At this moment, the dragging sound stopped outside the door, followed by a "ah" sound like the cry of a dead person or a ghost.

The jailer...is here!
Qian Ding was still in fear, and at this time Er Dingyan and Liu Bin also ran over.

They want to protect their master.

"Go back."

Chen Ning'an didn't expect these people to be of any help at all. Their greatest use was to provide Qi for him.

When he was at his most powerful in Zhongcheng, his Qi was almost endless and he could draw huge talismans that were a kilometer long.

But it's a bit difficult for him to do that now.

Anyone at the out-of-control level who wants to use a move that can destroy Chen Shijie must "accumulate energy" and prepare early just like Mr. Liao.

As for Chen Ning'an, his population base is not enough.

It should not be called "believers". Those who have paper talismans stuck on them are all his "believers".

Chen Ning'an finally understood why the gods in mythology needed believers and worshippers.

Although it did not increase strength, it did increase sustainability. As long as there were believers, they could continuously provide themselves with energy.

The jailer arrived.

Amid the sound of dragging, a hideous-looking fiery monster walked in, its body wrapped in chains.

It saw Chen Ningan at first sight, untied the chains and said hoarsely, "Imprison."

There's no sense in that.

Qian Ding's pupils suddenly contracted. This time he really couldn't escape.

The two team members there also thought so. They had no hope of survival and no matter how hard they struggled, it would be of no avail in the face of this ironclad fact.

"Write a suicide note."

Their sanity was no longer reduced and was slowly recovering. The only thing they could think of at this time was to take out their cell phones and leave a suicide note.

At least there won't be any mess left after your death.

"I still have my mother. What will she do alone?"

One of them started crying, and the sobbing sound attracted the attention of the jailer.

"Where are you looking?"

Chen Ning'an's voice suddenly rang out, and he stepped forward. The flames did not burn him at all.

"How brave..."

There was a hint of anger in the jailer's hoarse voice, as if Chen Ning'an's provocation was a heinous crime.

But...it couldn't make any more moves.

A strong hand pressed down on its head, and the flames went out instantly, and all movement became quiet.

Even though he has not yet gained complete control of his body, he can use the basic abilities of this body to suppress everything.

Not to mention the talismans, he took out a fire talisman and gently tapped it on the jailer.

"Hula~"

The flames shot up into the sky, even more terrifying and violent than before, and in an instant the jailer was reduced to ashes.

"Rubbish."

Chen Ning'an raised his foot to clear away the dust and looked at Qian Ding again.

"You...who are you?"

Qian Ding was shaking with fear, not understanding why Chen Ning'an was so powerful. This was beyond her understanding.

Just a piece of paper can burn the terrible jailer to ashes?
And now, that mysterious paper fell gently on her.

Qian Ding was shaking with fear, but after a few seconds she found that everything was normal.

Chen Ningan smiled gently: "Don't worry, I can't bear to kill you."

…………

The jailer "left" for about ten minutes, and then the iron door of another prison opened, and Charlie and others inside walked out.

"Qian Ding, are you okay?"

He shouted loudly that he would be returned to prison immediately if there was any sign of trouble.

"We're fine."

Qian Ding's voice was full of anger, and people on both sides opened the prison doors and walked out.

"I'm glad you're all right!"

Charlie breathed a sigh of relief: "This jailer is so scary. I'm really worried that it will be the same as I predicted."

He didn't notice anything unusual about the people on the other side and continued to move forward with everyone.

On the way, a few monsters were suppressed and thrown into the cells. Overall, there were no obstacles.

It was Charlie who noticed that the expressions of the team members were a little abnormal.

When the lantern show was about to end, Chen Ning'an suddenly approached him and started chatting with him as if they were chatting about family matters.

He broke with his usual habit and put on a smile, even if no one could see it under his hood.

“Team Leader Charlie, are you from Mucheng?”

He noticed that Charlie also had the characteristics of S value.

"Strictly speaking, I'm not from Mucheng. My ancestors are from Gran Country."

Charlie said to him: "But I have lived in Mucheng since I was born, so I am also a Mucheng person."

His words made Chen Ning'an understand that generally speaking, anyone born in Mu City would have the disadvantage of S value.

It seemed like a benefit, but in fact, compared with what he had just discovered, it was just another kind of shackle.

He then asked casually, "Has there ever been a very difficult lantern incident in Mucheng? Who dealt with it?"

"Of course it happened!"

Speaking of this, Charlie was full of emotion: "You probably don't know that at the worst time, the Light Realm almost descended upon the world. At that time, it would definitely cause terrible casualties, and I don't know how many people would be displaced."

"However, fortunately, our Ye An is more powerful, and there are experts who took action to suppress it, so no major chaos occurred."

"Master, who is it?"

Chen Ning'an thought it was Mr. Liao, after all, Mr. Liao was the one who lost control of Mucheng before.

Unfortunately, Charlie didn't have an answer. He only knew that it was a very powerful master, but he didn't know that person's name.

"It seems that you are also a minion."

Chen Ning'an no longer concealed it. He took out the paper man talisman and prepared it in his hand.

"What do you mean?"

No matter how magnanimous Charlie was, he could not remain calm in the face of such contempt and immediately began to question him.

"Newcomer, you seem unsure of your own identity."

"So what if I'm not sure?"

He grabbed Charlie's neck and the suppression appeared again. Charlie wanted to activate the ability in his body, but found that his body seemed to be completely "ineffective".

All of Charlie's abilities disappeared. He was still surprised when Chen Ning'an carried him to a cell again.

"Go in."

With two harsh words, the prison door was kicked open and Chen Ningan threw him in.

This is to artificially reset the S value to zero, thereby bringing out the black shadow.

"Newcomer, what are you doing?"

The team members who have not yet been converted angrily scolded Chen Ningan: "We don't care where you come from, open the door quickly and let the team leader out!"

They went to ask Qian Ding for help. Since Chen Ning'an could suppress the team leader, the only hope here was the deputy team leader.

But all they saw was the deputy team leader's indifference.

Instead, at the glance of Chen Ning'an, he took action with Liu Bin and others and restrained himself.

"Qian Ding, what are you doing!"

They were a little panicked. How come everything suddenly became so strange?

The teammates who have been together day and night have changed a lot. Has their S value dropped out of control?

"Don't worry, we are doing this for everyone's good."

Qian Ding's face softened as he said, "Master did this for your safety. Believe me, Master is always right."

Owner?

They looked at Chen Ning'an in horror. What method did this newcomer use to bribe even the deputy team leader?

Chen Ning'an smiled lightly and took off his hood.

"Everyone, I will lead you out of the sea of ​​suffering and show you the truth."
