Chapter 626 Tracking the Shadow
Blake shook his head, stood up straight, and pointed at the ground under his feet:
"Me? I left something in the restaurant. I came here to find something this time - no need to treat me to dinner."
Alice tilted her head curiously, her long golden hair falling down her shoulders, and her eyelashes curled up:
"What is it? Is it important? How about I help Uncle Lake look for it?"
The young man touched his nose, leaned into Alice's ear, and lowered his voice:
"If I tell you, you need to be mentally prepared first and don't be scared."
It's not that easy to scare Alice.
Blake's tone was mysterious, and the curious blond girl quickly asked:
"I'm mentally prepared, tell me now, Uncle Lake!"
Without answering her question directly, Blake reached out and grabbed Alice's wrist and pulled her to an inconspicuous corner of the magic restaurant.
"Look at my feet." The young man pointed at the ground again.
Alice lowered her head and looked at the boy's shoes. Although Blake looked like a teenager, he loved wearing leather shoes.
The black leather shoes are shiny, very clean, and have nothing special about them——
When she looked away from the shoes and looked at the ground next to the shoes, Alice's eyes widened in surprise:
"You...your shadow is missing?"
Although she has lived in the magical world for four years, she has never seen anyone without a shadow.
This is completely counterintuitive, strange and weird.
"Yes, my shadow is lost."
Blake smiled and shrugged, "You look funny when you're surprised~"
Lost?
Can a shadow still get lost on its own?
Alice looked up at Blake: "Is it really okay? If the shadow cannot be found, will it affect Uncle Lake's body?"
The girl's tone was full of concern.
"If it's just the shadow that's lost, then it won't be a big problem."
Blake raised one foot and touched the ground with the heel of his leather shoe.
"Of course, the premise is that it doesn't go out and cause trouble."
Mentioning his own shadow, the black-haired boy shook his head helplessly:
"This is not the first time it has gone missing. This shadow is better at causing trouble than I am."
Blake sighed softly, with a sad face:
"He used to come to restaurants behind my back to steal food, so I guess he sneaked away while I was eating."
Looking at the boy with slumped shoulders and feeling sad about his own shadow, Alice realized the seriousness of the situation:
"Wait a minute! I remember - Uncle Lake was once chased by a hundred demon-controlling dogs. During the Potions class, he blew up the laboratory building and released the Sandman from the Forbidden Book of Magic, causing half of the students in the college to go straight to class.
doze off……"
Blake reached out and covered Alice's mouth.
I looked around and saw that the passers-by around me were looking over, with cold sweat covering my forehead.
He smiled guiltily, turned to Alice and whispered:
"Stop it, stop it...don't bring up these old things now!"
As if remembering something, Blake gritted his teeth, looked into Alice's eyes and asked:
"Did that hateful Bud tell you about my trouble? No one else would tell, only he would... Yes, it must be Bud!"
Rather than asking others, it is better to say that he is asking and answering himself.
"Now is not the time to worry about this, Uncle Lake."
Alice reached out and held the boy's shoulder,
"The important thing now is to find your shadow first. Don't let it disturb the security of the academy!"
After being reminded by her, Blake came back to his senses and nodded:
"Then let's split up and make progress faster."
"When you find the shadow, use the sound transmission spell to notify me."
The blond girl quickly replied: "Okay!" The two of them separated, one was responsible for the third floor and above, and the other was responsible for the third floor and below.
If you want to find the shadow, you have to look to the ground. Even though it is not lunch time, there are many people coming to buy snacks and drinks.
Alice is now in fourth grade.
The magic restaurant she was in was no longer the previous pyramid magic restaurant, but a larger magic restaurant where middle and high school students were mixed.
The appearance of the restaurant is like a rotating cylindrical blue tornado, which looks very cool.
Two people are better than one, but the search speed is also very limited.
But she has a good partner, Alice talks to Wade telepathically:
"We need to find that troublemaking shadow as soon as possible, Wade."
The void wand hidden in the sleeve of the blond girl moved and turned into a ball of invisible and colorless air, which circled around the girl.
"Hahaha! I know how to sit, Master. As long as it is still in the magic restaurant, I will definitely find it!"
"Be careful not to be discovered by that shadow. Since it is Uncle Lake's shadow, it must be quite capable."
Throwing the golden hair behind her ears, Alice reminded Wade,
"It must not be taken lightly."
"Understood!" The Void Wand chuckled and appeared dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye.
After separating from Wade, Alice released the spiritual power in her body, and all subtle changes within a fifty-meter radius were under her control.
As a material existence, shadow generally adheres to objects.
In order to avoid being discovered, the lost shadow should also look for other shadows to use as cover.
That guy is a habitual criminal. He is more likely to get into trouble than Uncle Lek. He should know how to hide very well...
It is so smart, it must have known that Black would come to find it.
Although the shadow of a walking passerby is large and can be moved, during movement, the shadow must reach the same pace as the shadow of the passerby so as not to be exposed.
Alice observed the shadows of everyone within a fifty-meter radius.
After she turned around all the places on the third floor, the air that Wade had turned into came back.
"Did you find the shadow?" Alice asked about her wand. Wade quickly answered:
"There is no trace of the shadow. Maybe it is above the third floor."
Alice stopped and stood next to the teleportation array in the restaurant, holding her chin in one hand and lost in thought:
"I always feel that we seem to have missed something..."
While she was lowering her head in thought, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a magician carrying a black bag out of the corner of her eye. The magician glanced at her from a distance, suddenly turned around and walked in the direction he came from.
The magician was wearing a black magic robe. The dress didn't seem to fit well, so the hem of the dress fell to the floor.
The wide sleeves covered the hand holding the black bag, the big hat covered almost half of his head, and he also wore a colorful mask on his face, which was very suspicious.
The strangest thing is that he walks very smoothly.
