Classical Revival Infinity Game

The wriggling shadows looked very strange.

Normal shadows in reality are divided into a solid black umbra in the middle and a blurred shadow around it, so the shadows look soft at the edges, such as Ye Man's own shadow under the sun.

But the shadows of these buildings are not only squirming, but also have clear and sharp edges, like black paper cuts.

This situation made Ye Man immediately realize that there were supernatural phenomena in this copy, which she needed to avoid or fight against.

She observed it for a while and found that the edge of the shadow was always squirming, but the amplitude was acceptable and it would not exceed the shadow of the building itself by too much.

So, she decided to boldly continue walking in the town, that is, in this small square, trying to see more information.

"Search for as much information as possible about this strange city." Ye Man set a small goal for himself.

After all, she understands that there must be some supernatural force dormant under these writhing shadows that is difficult for humans to fight against. So the best way to fight against it is to collect as much information as possible before it breaks out, and guess the keywords, which may help to obtain A glimmer of hope for the future.

While gathering information, she was careful not to step on any shadows or let her own shadow touch them.

Each house does not have a house number, but it has a house plate with the surnames of different foreigners written on it.

"Schneider", "Schumacher", "Schmidt", "Baker"... Ye Man carefully memorized the appearance and house numbers of these houses.

As she approached, the shadows seemed to fluctuate more frequently and rapidly. It was originally surging like a wave, but when she got close it would turn into crazy shaking.

Shadow seemed to become excited by her proximity.

As the sun gradually tilted, she felt that the dormant monster was about to come out. They are gradually stretched due to the tilt of the sun, the range of shaking is obviously increased, and the dance becomes more and more joyful.

The only shadow in the building that was still normal was her original landing spot - Otto's cabin.

So she looked around and hid in Otto's cabin.

She locked the door outside the garden and suddenly caught a glimpse of some abandoned old-fashioned straight-handled umbrellas under the trees in the garden.

Among them, most of the umbrellas had pitted edges, and some had broken ribs. The original owners had casually discarded them in the grass.

"There are actually rags to pick out!" Ye Man was a little happy, "Thank you for the gift from Otto's cabin."

She opened the umbrellas one by one and selected an umbrella with a complete cover. Although the upper rib of this umbrella was slightly broken, it did not affect its smooth deployment.

She took the big umbrella back into the room.

Umbrellas with straight handles always feel safe because they can be used as sticks after all, especially when there are very few items in the house.

Although such a stick may not necessarily be effective against supernatural forces.

"Yes, it's better than nothing." Ye Man firmly believed.

When she returned to the house, she heard the dull ticking of the clock again. She looked at the time and it was 4:50 pm.

Darkness came faster than expected, and at 5:30, we could already see the dim sunset.

Then around 6:00, there was only the afterglow of sunset in the sky.

Six tall street lamps in the center of the square automatically turned on, and the light from the street lamps spread dimly and feebly into the night.

Ye Man closed the curtains. The curtains were only a thin layer of cloth, allowing some light to pass through.

She sat in a corner by the window, staring out the window and downstairs.

She saw the shadow waves of the elongated buildings becoming more and more turbulent. It was difficult to see the shape of the original buildings from the shadows. They were shaking wildly, like the surface of black boiling water.

Finally, when the sun's afterglow faded, these many pools of black boiling water erupted.

Thousands of dots are like tiny black tadpole-like shadows, with only the bare shadows. They spurt out like water droplets and steam, scurrying densely on the ground covered with street lamps. Their trajectory is irregular and makes people feel uncomfortable. My heart goes crazy.

Then she saw that in the nearby buildings, there was also a dim yellow light like street lights, but there was no one in the windows.

The door of a small building opposite opened. Ye Man remembered that it was Schumacher's house.

No living person walked out of that door, but a figure stepped out of the shadow of the building.

This shadow is exactly the same as the shadow of dense tadpoles, only the dark shadow, with clear and sharp edges as if cut with a knife.

It looked like an adult man wearing a felt hat, holding some sizable items in his arms.

Shadow walked towards the center of the square and unfolded the items in his arms. It turned out to be two small saddles, one high and one low, and a tool box. He sat on the lower saddle.

Many doors on the opposite side opened one after another, and more and more people appeared one after another. Someone walked to the square and sat on a higher horse. The man in the felt hat began to shine his shoes.

Many figures walked into Baker's house, and those who came out seemed to be holding something to their mouths and chewing it. The shadow of the large round object looked like a pie or bread.

There was a loud clanking sound in Schmidt's shop.

A group of shadows that look like ladies and matrons, dressed in classic whalebone dresses. With their swollen skirts swaying, they gathered at the entrance of Schneider's store or went in and out of the store. They seemed to be whispering together.

The world of shadows proceeds in an orderly manner. The first floors of many houses look like shops. There are many people coming and going, bringing and taking away goods.

If it weren't for the tadpole-shaped shadows that make people feel intensively frightened, this picture would even look a little warm.

While Ye Man was concentrating on observing the street, her desk lamp suddenly flickered a few times and then turned on by itself.

It wasn't the dim yellow light from the surrounding houses or street lights, but a bright and eye-catching, pale light.

The rampaging black tadpoles were still running around seemingly erratically, but there were fewer and fewer of them around her house.

The figures in the square suddenly stopped their actions.

The outlines of the shadows changed, and she felt them turn around across the square.

Without saying a word, Ye Man took out the black cloak made by Aunt Li from the infinite backpack and threw it on the lamp to cover it.

The light of the desk lamp was blocked, and the whole room fell into darkness again.

Most of the figures turned back and started doing their own things.

However, the shoemaker in the center of the square stopped shining his shoes, slowly stood up and left.

The shadow of the customer behind him waved his arms menacingly, but he remained unmoved and walked straight towards Baker's house.

The shadow of a tall, thin man walked out. He was wearing a chef's hat and holding a baking spatula with a long handle and a small head.

Then they split up and went to other stores to knock on doors.

A tall and muscular figure walked out of the Schmidt family, with firm muscles in his outline. He held a huge hammer in his hand. This is a blacksmith.

There were many female guests in the Schneider house and a figure who looked like a woman walked out. She was wearing an ancient European dress and holding two large scissors with sharp edges in her hands. The scissors were almost half the length of an arm. This is a seamstress.

These figures with obvious professional characteristics held their tools and surrounded Otto's residence step by step, like a black mountain of dark clouds, carrying the pressure of an imminent rain.
