Chapter 506: More Troublesome than a Big Monster
Doraemi was discussing the shadow with everyone when she remembered such an important matter.

I couldn't help but scream out in shock.

Bruce Wayne: What's wrong? You said before that you cut off your shadows in order to catch the Shadow Demon. What would happen if you took a long time to get them back?

Doraemon: That would be terrible! The shadow would find a way to replace its master!
Diana: What! A shadow can replace its master? Are you kidding me?
Doraemi: I don't. My tool not only cuts off the shadow, but also makes it conscious and obeys the orders of the master. But over time, it will evolve into self-awareness.

Dorami: If time goes on a little longer, the real person will turn into a shadow, and the shadow will replace the real person!

Whitebeard: No way! Is it that dangerous?

Sengoku: Even Moriah's Shadow Fruit can't do this. Is it true that the shadow is another soul?
Moroboshi: Because the shadow is another soul, and your tools will urge this soul to evolve?

Bruce Wayne: I think this statement is unscientific. This can't be a problem with the props. Why is there such a hidden danger? Are there such props in your world?
Doraemon: Because it’s very convenient. Who doesn’t want to have an identical version of themselves to help them do things? As for this potential problem, I don’t know why it hasn’t been overcome. . .

Diana: Anyway, you'd better get your shadows back as soon as possible, otherwise they will really be replaced!

Doraemi: Don't worry, I quickly got everyone's shadows back while we were chatting just now, and luckily nothing got out of control.

Sun Wukong: But this sounds very interesting. My shadow should be as strong as myself. That way I can have an opponent to practice with.

Piccolo: That’s a good idea indeed.

Vegeta: Humph, it's rare that Kakarot can come up with such a good idea. For an invincible Super Saiyan like me, I am the only opponent.

Son Goku: Vegeta! You didn't speak for so long, I thought you were dead!
Vegeta: Humph, stop talking nonsense! I am the strongest Super Saiyan in the universe! How can I die so easily? If I have to die, it should be you!

Vegeta: I was training hard to master the power of the legendary Super Saiyan! Besides, I'm not interested in those containments as long as they don't appear in my world! I'll kill you next time I see you!
Sun Wukong: Hehehe, that doesn’t necessarily mean I will become stronger!
Moroboshi Tuan: Son Goku, why do I feel like you seem more excited when facing the invaders?
Piccolo: He's like that. The stronger the enemy, the more excited he gets.

While everyone was talking, the sound on the screen continued.

[The Shadow Spider appears as a moving shadow-like mass of an unknown species of spider.]

Shadow Spiders exhibit the ability to "hunt" in the shadows of other living creatures, and will move into the shadow of the nearest living creature. [When "hunting", Shadow Spiders hide within the range of the host's shadow, so that their own shadow is not obscured. In this way, a single Shadow Spider specimen can grow to a size of about 15 square centimeters. ]

[It appears to maintain this size after feeding; the process has so far proven harmless to the host. When a specimen attaches itself to an inanimate object to feed, it slowly shrinks and reduces to its original size. Shadow spiders can only grow when in the shadow of a living creature.] [Shadow spiders have shown the ability to travel short distances through open and brightly lit areas, such as to reach a nearby host or to escape from a disturbed area.]

[However, when it is not in the shadows, it will reduce its size at a rate of 2CM/S over a certain period of time. If a specimen is trapped in a sufficiently open place, it will eventually reduce to nothing, at which point it is considered dead.]

[The maximum crawling speed observed when it reaches its maximum size is 1m/s. Shadow Spiders have shown that they can pass through cracks larger than 3mm; they cannot pass through spaces smaller than this.]

[From this point of view, the parasitism of the shadow spider does not seem to cause any harm to the host, but this is not the case. When the shadow spider is frightened, it will immediately attack the host's shadow.]

[Under normal circumstances, Shadow Spiders can and will attack their hosts if frightened. Frightened Shadow Spiders usually move quickly with their hosts, or flee to another shadowy place, at which point the Shadow Spider will "bite" the creature's shadow before trying to escape.]

[Bites will inevitably occur on exposed skin; wearing cotton or any other sturdy clothing will provide adequate protection.]

[After being bitten, a person will display five distinct stages over the course of an hour. Note that the bitten person may attempt to hide their wound; therefore, any personnel displaying the next symptoms must immediately return to the containment chamber.]

[Stage 1: When startled, the Shadow Spider will bite the aggressor's shadow. Subjects report pain at the location corresponding to the bite on their shadow; however, no marks or wounds appear at the location. Subjects will quickly become allergic and react strongly to everything around them.]

[Stage 10: 15- minutes after being bitten, the subject will begin to sweat profusely, but they may say they feel cold. Their skin will turn red and feel hot to the touch.]

[Stage 25: 30- minutes after being bitten, the subject will become violent and violent, and attempt to engage in conflict with those around him. Speech becomes slurred, and motor skills decrease. The subject will become violent, usually attacking those around him. ]

[Stage 40: 45-5 minutes after being bitten, the subject's skin color will become pale and colorless, and their body temperature will drop to 8℃ to ℃. The subject will apologize to the people around them, and may remember that they felt bad just now. They will try to escape themselves back into the darkness. ]

[Stage 55: 60-4 minutes after being bitten, the subject will die and liquid will continue to emerge from the body. According to analysis, the liquid produced is completely transparent and harmless. The subject's shadow will completely transform into a smaller shadow spider individual at this time, about cm in size, and is called a "young child" for lack of accurate terminology. ]

[There is currently no treatment for being bitten by a shadow spider. It has been proven that death cannot prevent the continuation of this state, but will directly enter the state of stage five. ]

[Based on multiple experiments conducted by researchers, it was found that any source of shock known to humans will stimulate the shadow spider, such as noise, visual impact, huge movement, the host being attacked, the host's emotional changes, etc. will all stimulate the shadow spider.]

[This means that the chance of the shadow spider attacking the host is very high, so it must be fully recovered. ]
