Chapter 1004 Weird Shopping Mall
"Okay, now that everyone knows each other, let's start the mission."

Chen Gao clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then strode into the mall.

This once bustling place no longer had any human presence in sight. The scraps of paper, flyers and other garbage on the ground looked desolate and eerie under the cold light.

"Look around first, and tell me if you find anything."

When Peng Yuan heard this, he wanted to show off and immediately began to observe carefully.

However, perhaps because the dark creatures in this area were too harmless, no matter how he looked, he could not see anything unusual.

Li Yan on the side was not much better. Her big eyes were sore from staring, but she still got nothing.

As for Amber, she was looking at somewhere in front of the left with a strange expression.

Chen Gao took in the expressions of the three people. "Well, did you see anything?"

"I'm sorry, I really don't see anything wrong with that."

Peng Yuan looked frustrated.

"Me too."

Li Yan looked a little introverted, her head buried in her chest when she spoke.

Chen Gao was not surprised by the two's answers and turned his gaze to Amber.

The latter was looking somewhere and did not see his gaze.

"Ahem, Amber, did you find anything?"

After watching for a few seconds, Chen Gao had to take the initiative to speak.

"Eh? No."

Amber retracted her gaze and said calmly.

Hearing this, Peng Yuan on the side laughed and said, "Just now I saw you so absorbed in your thoughts, I thought you had discovered something, but it turns out you were just daydreaming."

"Okay, you're all new here, so you can't tell what's normal."

Chen Gao interrupted his sarcastic remarks and said, "Not to mention, most of the things that appear here are harmless. Compared with those dark creatures that will actively attack, their characteristics are that they are very hidden and difficult to detect. However, if left unchecked, they will directly affect the lives of the people."

He paused here, as if he was organizing his words.

"In fact, many well-known strange incidents were caused by these little guys. Well, my place is safe, but I have always been at a great disadvantage in terms of public opinion. This is the root of the problem."

"So how do we find them?"

Li Yan immediately asked: "My captain told me that as long as I focus the dark energy in my body into my eyes, I can find the traces of dark creatures, but just now..."

"I have already checked with the Dark Eyes, and there are no clues."

Peng Yuan interrupted.

"Of course, there is no way to find those guys using conventional means."

Chen Gao snorted softly, "For the sake of your captain, I will teach you a lesson. Boy, do you know why the Dark Eye can see those things?"

"Uh this"

This question stumped Peng Yuan. As a frontline player on the brink of death, shouldn't he just know how to use dark energy? Why bother to worry about why?
As soon as Chen Gao saw him like this, he knew what this guy was thinking, so he looked at Li Yan: "What about you?"

The latter had just been a member of the special operations team for less than three months and had only formally passed the training last week. How could he have known about all these twists and turns?
So he shook his head decisively.

"I have no knowledge or skills!"

Chen Gao scolded her lightly and finally looked at Amber.

“Maybe it’s because of the frequency?”

Amber thought for a while and then said.

Of course, he had never learned these things, but as a life form that was essentially close to dark creatures, he only needed to observe to understand.

"That's right!" Chen Gao showed a satisfied smile: "I didn't expect you to know something."

After that, he said to the remaining two people: "Generally speaking, the more dangerous the dark creatures are, the higher the frequency of dark energy is. So as long as a certain amount of dark energy is focused on the eyes, you can find them. But the harmless dark creatures are completely the opposite. The frequency on them is very low, even almost non-existent, so you can't find them."

Peng Yuan and Li Yan looked surprised.

"So how can we see them?"

the former asked.

"Just slowly reduce the dark energy output. This is also a good time to practice your control."

After Chen Gao finished speaking, he walked aside, looking as if he would not interfere anymore.

"Okay, keep working on it. If you find something, just seal it. Don't tell me you don't know how to do this."

"Don't worry, Captain Chen. I've learned this before."

After Peng Yuan finished speaking, he said to Amber and Li Yan, "There are exactly three roads here. I'll take the left one. You guys can do whatever you want."

"Then I'll go to the right."

Li Yan also said.

Amber didn't say anything. After the two of them left, she slowly walked towards the middle passage.

This shopping mall has three floors. The stores on the left and right sides are closed. There are some snack stalls in the middle. Further forward is the escalator leading to the second floor.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

When Amber passed by a sausage stall, a stuffed bear with its two paws flipping in the air suddenly called out to him a few times and then handed him one of its paws.

This is imitating the way humans do business.
In fact, it’s not just this one, there are many similar scenes in the shopping mall on the first floor.

There were square-faced figures wearing bibs as if handing out flyers, mannequin dolls that kept changing clothes in the clothing store, and the most outrageous thing was a baby products store where there were several giant babies with big heads and very small limbs and bodies.

The reason why it is outrageous is that they eat and poop at the same time, and even share it with their companions.

Perhaps noticing Amber's gaze, one of them handed over the indescribable object he had just picked up from the ground.

Shaking her head to reject their kindness, Amber continued forward.

Captain Chen, didn’t he notice anything unusual here?

Or, he simply couldn't see it?
Amber became more and more curious about this world, from the original owner's parents, to the residents in Ping'an Community, to the nursing home and Li Sanbao.

What I saw with my own eyes was completely different from what Zhen Yi said.

These things may be acting according to a certain established trajectory, but they all have obvious self-awareness, the only difference is how strong it is.

Just like in a shopping mall.

How did they emerge and why did they want to learn from human behavior?
As Amber's mind was in turmoil, a pair of eyes that had been secretly observing for a long time finally couldn't bear it anymore and bravely took a crucial step.

"Alien! You are not welcome in paradise!"

Some shrill cries sounded in her ears. Amber turned her head in confusion, but found nothing unusual.

Just when he was thinking about whether he should go look for it, the voice rang out again.

"I'm here!"

The distance is so close, it seems to be right next to you.

Amber lowered her head and saw the thing that made the sound.

EMMMMM
This is a little man the size of a finger, but he looks like an old man, with a beard that reaches down to his feet.

"Are you talking to me?"
