I became Superman

Back home, Zhou Ming turned on his computer, intending to play some games, but he couldn't put down the vampire thing.

He was truly curious about these creatures that might live in outer space.

There's no trace of them on the moon, and it's impossible on other planets either; they couldn't possibly be drifting in a vacuum...

How could any creature live and drift in space? Vampires don't seem to have that ability.

Zhou Ming opened his browser and searched for the word "vampire," finding a lot of related information, but most of it was just unfounded folklore.

The origin of vampires is only recorded in one Western religion, which says that Cain killed his brother, angered God, and was punished by God, becoming a vampire.

Such accounts seem to be fabricated and far-fetched in an attempt to elevate the status of their religion, and their credibility is not very high.

It seems that it is difficult to find reliable information in the online world of ordinary people.

Zhou Ming opened the website of the alien center.

The website's rudimentary and outdated design still drew his complaints.

The outcasts were discussing various things enthusiastically in the forum, just like always.

Zhou Ming had no interest in watching from the sidelines; he simply searched for "vampire" in the search bar.

From the search results, Zhou Ming noticed a guy named "Vampire Stalker".

This person posts and replies frequently, and all the content is related to vampires. They seem very professional.

Zhou Ming opened his profile and sent him a private message: "Hey friend, any news about vampires?"

The other party replied quickly: "Wait a moment, I'll go for a home visit."

what?

Before Zhou Ming could figure out what the other party meant, "The Tracker" replied: "So you're a friend from Pet Home. That's great. I like Pet Home. You guys aren't as arrogant as others."

So this was a home visit.

This guy insists on visiting people's homes before replying to messages; he seems to be the kind of netizen who frequently engages in intense online arguments.

He asked, "Do you have any information on the Shadowlands?"

The tracker said, "Good question. If you ask someone else this question, you're wasting your time. I'm an authority on this."

Zhou Ming began to have doubts.

Is this guy reliable?

In his experience, guys who boast about themselves before speaking are usually not very reliable.

The tracker had probably encountered this situation many times before, so before Zhou Ming could question him, he explained, "Don't you believe me? I have an official background, after all. I've done serious research on the origins of vampires and have even received official subsidies."

"Taken" means it's no longer available...

Despite this, Zhou Ming had gained some more confidence in him and asked, "What research findings do you have regarding vampires and the Shadow Realm?"

The tracker appears to be the kind of person who is very keen to introduce their research findings to others in order to gain recognition.

Upon being asked, the tracker immediately launched into a long explanation: "My team and I have sifted through all the historical rumors related to vampires, compared them with the social and historical context of the time, eliminated the embellishments, and finally obtained two of the most reliable pieces of information."

"These two messages appeared in very ancient times and have been circulating all over the world."

Seeing that he spoke with such seriousness, Zhou Ming became genuinely interested and asked, "Which two pieces of news?"

The tracker said, "First, Cain is the shadow of the devil; second, Cain is the Duke of the Moon."

Zhou Ming frowned slightly.

The moon and the shadow were indeed the most obvious features he noticed after dealing with vampires.

But these two points alone won't help him.

Zhou Ming asked, "What do you mean?"

The tracker said, "It's very simple. If you combine the shadow and the moon, you get the moon's shadow. So I believe that the vampire's shadow realm is hidden in the moon's shadow."

Oh, you can do that?

Zhou Ming felt more and more that this guy was unreliable.

He said, "According to your method of piecing together words, Cain is the shadow of the moon, and Cain is also the shadow of the devil, so wouldn't the moon be the devil?"

"!!!"

Follower: "That makes sense. You're very talented, friend. Would you be interested in joining my group?"

I have no interest, not even in continuing the conversation.

Zhou Ming was both amused and exasperated. Just as he was about to end the chat, the tracker said, "Whether the moon is related to demons is still just a hypothesis, but we already have some evidence that the Shadow Realm is hidden in the moon's shadow."

"During several solar eclipses, we detected unusual neutrino phenomena. There must indeed be something hidden in the moon's shadow, but our current detection methods are insufficient to uncover it. This is very similar to the shadow realm of vampires."

Ok?

That sounds pretty convincing.

Zhou Ming abandoned his intention to end the chat and asked, "Did you detect this?"

The tracker said, "Of course, I am a university professor after all. Through historical records, we locked onto the target, Moon Shadow, and then applied for a testing project. In the end, we did make some discoveries, but unfortunately, we didn't make any further discoveries, which led to the cancellation of our project's funding."

Although it was just text, Zhou Ming seemed to be able to see the regret on the tracker's face.

If what the tracker says is true, it's not appropriate to directly reject his statement.

Zhou Ming asked, "What does it mean that the Shadow Realm is hidden in the moon's shadow? Is it the dark side of the moon?"

The tracker said, "It shouldn't be. When sunlight shines on the moon, it creates a large area in space that is not exposed to sunlight because the moon blocks it. This area is what I call the lunar shadow."

"I suspect that the Shadow Realm resides in this Moon Shadow area. The Moon Shadow area is vast and changes with the relative positions of the moon and the sun, making it very difficult to detect."

Zhou Ming finally got serious.

What the tracker said was indeed very enlightening for him.

He had always wondered about the location of the Shadowlands in space, and the Tracker's words provided a possible answer.

Although the idea of ​​living in the moon's shadow is somewhat far-fetched.

However, considering the close relationship between vampires and shadows, and the fact that their world is called the Shadowlands, Zhou Ming didn't find this strange.

However, just as the other party said, the theoretical area of ​​lunar shadow was too large, so he asked, "Can we further narrow down the area?"

The tracker said, "It's not possible right now, but there will be a good opportunity soon. The solar eclipse can be observed in Jinsha City, Jiangnan Province on the 23rd of next month."

"At that time, the moon's shadow will converge into a specific area on the ground, which will greatly define the scope."

"Our team plans to go to Jinsha City for observation on the 23rd of next month. If you are interested, you can join us."

Zhou Ming was somewhat convinced by him, mainly because there was currently no other explanation besides this one.

There's still almost a month until the 23rd of next month, and Zhou Ming plans to go and check on things then.

They exchanged contact information with the trackers.

The tracker pulled him into a group of only three people, which was what the tracker called a squad.

Zhou Ming received a warm welcome after joining the group, which clearly indicated that no new members had joined the group for a long time.

It's easy to understand. If Zhou Ming hadn't personally tracked the Shadows into outer space, it would be hard to believe the trackers' claims that the Shadow Realm was hidden in the Moon Shadow. It would be strange if they could convince anyone else.
