After turning on the lights, Mo Qiong immediately checked his surroundings. Once he confirmed there were no shadows nearby, he checked the Containment Box's seal as well.
This Cube Cage had been designed by the Research Department at his request. Its quality was beyond question, and the edges of its opening were made of soft, mud-like adhesive material.
When pressed against a flat surface, it immediately clung tightly, leaving not even the slightest gap for light to pass through.
Even if the surface was irregular, that layer of soft mud would fill in the uneven depressions, plugging every gap.
The shadow couldn't squeeze through the gaps between molecules. Even if it theoretically had zero thickness, it could only move across flat surfaces.
It was just like shining a flashlight at a wall in a room. The wall had countless gaps between its molecules, but a person on the other side still couldn't have their shadow projected through by that beam of light.
If the shadow could really pass through walls, why would it slide along the wall? Wouldn't it be better to infiltrate directly through the wall?
The people in charge of monitoring confirmed that no projection had appeared on any nearby buildings, which meant the shadow hadn't escaped the warehouse. Of course, this wasn't absolute. If the shadow ignored everything and forcibly slipped out from beneath cargo standing on its end, then imprinted itself onto the skylight, it could escape through the skylight and be projected directly into the atmosphere.
But that would be far too risky. If it moved beneath the clouds, it would have a hard time returning. And if it moved through the clouds, it might accidentally burst out of the atmosphere and enter space... At that point, it would never be able to return.
