Chapter 774: Kill You with a Glance
āXiaoā¦ Xiao Pan?ā
The guardās throat suddenly went dry as he looked at the scene before him.
On the dimly lit staircase ahead, Xiao Pan stood silently, as if he hadnāt heard the commotion behind him.
Yet, as the guard looked on, Xiao Pan suddenly moved.
Without turning his head, he slowly retreated downstairs, his upper body tense and rigid.
As Xiao Pan backed away, a shadowy figure gradually came into the guardās view.
The slender silhouette seemed harmless at first glance, but when a cold glint appeared in the guardās vision, a chill ran down his spine.
Another one!
Do these people always move so stealthily?
How can you fight against such people? He had thought that being a little cautious might allow him to escape unscathed.
But in front of them, all caution was futileā¦
From the moment they entered this building, they had already fallen into the enemyās trapā¦
But why? Why arenāt these people in a hurry to escape? Why are they lingering in such a placeā¦ What do they want?
Breathing heavily, the guard glanced at Ling Mo.
In the darkness, Ling Moās expression seemed indifferent, but his eyes were bright and piercing.
Does this person want to take them hostage? Orā¦ extract some Intelligence?
Or perhapsā¦ establish authority through killing? Revenge?
In his panic, the guardās legs instinctively kicked at the ground, pressing him flat against the wall.
āDonāt bother, you canāt walk through walls,ā Ling Mo suddenly said.
āWhaā¦ What do you want?ā
The guardās voice was a bit hysterical, sounding shrill in the quiet hallway.
At the same time, his eyes grew darker, as if foreseeing a grim outcome.
To the guardās surprise, Ling Mo actually let out a chuckle.
āWhy are you laughingā¦ā
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Ling Mo suddenly squat down and then raise his arm.
A cold touch suddenly came from his forehead, the guard instinctively looked up and was instantly terrified out of his wits.
The dark gun barrel was now pressed against his forehead!
āNo, no, no! Donāt kill me!ā
The guardās mind went blankā¦
Heās really going to shoot? But didnāt he say he wanted to talk?!
Even if Ling Mo didnāt have a gun in his hand, the guard knew he was no match.
He didnāt dare to resist, but he also didnāt want to be killed just like that!
Some people usually shout, āIām not afraid of death,ā but how many can remain calm when faced with death? Especially this guardā¦ he was really afraid of dying!
In the brief one or two seconds that passed, it felt like an eternity to the guard.
It wasnāt until Ling Mo lowered his arm that the guard realized his back was soaked in cold sweatā¦
He looked at Ling Mo with trembling lips, still muttering, āDonāt kill meā¦ā
The look of fear in the guardās eyes towards Ling Mo was now even more intense than before.
Even though Ling Mo hadnāt fired, the moment the gun was pressed against him, he felt an immense mental pressure!
This pressure made him feel like he was falling into an icy abyss, as if a snake was biting his neck, and he could clearly feel the venom being injected into his body, quickly spreading through his bloodā¦
This near-death experience almost scared him to wet himself!
āIs this some kind of Superpower? A hallucination? Noā¦ it doesnāt quite seem like thatā¦ā the guard thought with lingering fear.
At the same time, the guard suddenly noticed that Ling Moās gaze was more scrutinizing than before.
āAlthough Iām not a true mental ability user, I can still easily simulate the ability of the sunglasses manā¦ With psychic interference as a foundation, and the forced infusion of some mental energy, I can deepen the influence when the targetās mental state is already unstableā¦ Itās a bit of an improved version. Unlike the sunglasses man, who can only exert some pressure on others.ā
āAnd the effect when I use it is much more pronounced. For instance, this guard is afraid of death. When under the influence, he feels like heās narrowly escaping deathā¦ Yes, from his psychic fluctuation and facial expression, that seems to be the caseā¦ā
āIf this ability were stronger, would it make him think he was really dead? If it could reach that level, then I could truly kill someone with a glanceā¦ā
āBut thinking it through, this technique still has significant limitations. Its effectiveness hinges on the targetās current emotionsā¦ If he had felt like laughing just now, the effect might have been to make him laugh until his stomach hurt. And what if he felt like peeing?ā
āAlso, it only works at close range, which is a drawback compared to the sunglasses manā¦ When will I be able to scare a bunch of Brats to tears just by glaring at them? That would be somethingā¦ā
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Ling Mo sighed inwardly.
Meanwhile, the guard, being stared down by Ling Mo, was already terrified beyond belief.
Ling Mo finally looked at him and asked, āYouāre the one leading this team, right?ā
The guard was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded.
āYouāre quite clever,ā Ling Mo suddenly said.
āIā¦ I donāt understandā¦ā The guardās face turned even paler.
āThough youāre very scared, youāre not stupid. Just now, you deliberately raised your voice to alert the two at the door, didnāt you?ā Ling Mo said with a smile.
The guard shuddered again, a hint of despair crossing his eyes.
Everyone was wiped outā¦
And now he was trapped in this remote building, completely isolated and helplessā¦
āDonāt kill meā¦ā The guard pleaded again.
āAlright, I said I just wanted to talk,ā Ling Mo shook his hand but then suddenly changed his tone, āBut if you try any more tricksā¦ā
The guard shook his head frantically, āI donāt dare! Whatever you want to talk about, Iāll listen to you!ā
āThat guy is a superhuman, isnāt he?ā Ling Mo asked, glancing at Xiao Pan.
āYes, heās part of the mutation system! His olfactory cellsā¦ no, his entire olfactory system has undergone some variationā¦ā the guard quickly replied.
At this moment, Xiao Pan had already turned around and answered expressionlessly, āHeās right. My olfactory system and trigeminal nerve system have undergone variation, including my sense of taste. So my perception of scents, whether from a distance or up close, differs greatly from that of ordinary people, and itās much keenerā¦ In simple terms, the smells I detect and the flavors I taste are different from what normal people experience.ā
āI seeā¦ This kind of mutation must be a gluttonās tragedy.ā Ling Mo nodded thoughtfully.
Xiao Pan suddenly asked, āDid you use perfume? This scent smells odd to me. And not only did you spray it on yourselves, but thereās even more upstairs. If Iām not mistaken, you must have other methods prepared to lure us in, like psychic powerā¦ā
āFigure it out yourself,ā Ling Mo smiled and then asked, āHow many people were sent to chase me?ā
The guard hesitated for a moment before answering, āFor now, just two teamsā¦ā
āBe more specific,ā Ling Mo said, sitting down on the steps and lighting a cigarette.
āOne team is us, and the other team is dispersed outside, guarding the intersectionsā¦ Some of them might be stationed at higher vantage points, but Iām not exactly sureā¦ā The guard added, āActually, I was just dragged along to make up the numbers; Iām not really a captainā¦ā
āHe sure picked the right captain for this team,ā Ling Mo remarked.
This guard was cautious and extremely afraid of dying. But precisely because of that, he wouldnāt dare to disobey orders easily.
Otherwise, why would he dare to enter this building?
In such chaos, for the senior management of Niepan to point out someone like this to take charge in a critical moment was a wake-up call for Ling Mo.
Niepan is not to be underestimatedā¦
āDo you know anything else?ā Ling Mo asked again.
A look of hesitation appeared on the guardās face, āMy position is pretty ordinary; I really donāt know muchā¦ā
āAlright then,ā Ling Mo said, turning around and pulling out a notebook from his backpack, handing it over along with a pen, āWrite down everything you know about the senior management. And also, write down the details of the guard team.ā
For the information on those registration forms, Ling Mo didnāt fully trust them.
He himself could falsify information when registering, so others could easily write something vague or misleading.
But getting to know each superhuman one-by-one wasnāt exactly realisticā¦
Nevertheless, the strength of the guard team shouldnāt be underestimated. From Niepanās actions this time, it was evident that this was their most trusted force.
In the future, when they send people to hunt Ling Mo, this force could play a very crucial role.
Although the main goal was to buy some time, Ling Mo wouldnāt miss the chance to gather intelligence.
Even if this guard didnāt know much about the regular members, he would definitely be familiar with other guards.
The guard, trembling, took the pen and struggled to twist off the cap, then suddenly looked up with a distressed face.
āIā¦ I canāt see.ā
He was frustrated; how come Ling Mo and the others werenāt affected by the environmentā¦
Little did the guard know, Ling Mo was sharing his field of vision with Ye Lian, and that shy-looking girl who had been holding a knife to Xiao Pan was actually a dominant-level zombie!
āHere, take this flashlight.ā
Ling Mo handed him another item and smiled, āDonāt even think about using the light to signal anyone; this is a blind spot.ā
The guardās hand shook as he took the flashlight, his heart pounding in fear: āDoes this guy have mind-reading abilities? How does he know what Iām thinking?ā
āBut to bluff him and find out he actually had that intentionā¦ā Ling Mo thought to himself, stroking his chin while āstaringā at the guardās psychic light cluster.
