Chapter 827: Amplified Emotions
Luo Mingās expression was somewhat unusual. Ever since Ling Mo escaped, he had been in a state of anxiety. This feeling, instead of diminishing after a whole afternoon, only grew more intense. Possessing a mental ability superpower, he was particularly sensitive to emotional changes, and this persistent sensation was beginning to irritate him. He even felt like picking up a gun and smashing everything around himā¦
Even when Zhang Xi spoke to him, Luo Ming glared at him and angrily muttered, āI told you, itās just a feeling, a sense! If you donāt trust my intuition, just pretend I never said anything!ā
Zhang Xi glanced at Luo Ming with a blank face, snorted, and turned his gaze away, āCrazy.ā
In contrast, the Young Man in Yellow couldnāt help but give Luo Ming another look and said, āLuo Mingās superpower is called mind reading, right? Although itās not true mind reading, he can sense othersā emotions and also mask his own emotions and psychic fluctuations to a certain extent. Thatās why he was sent there for this taskā¦ I wonder if heās sensed something? Heās not usually like thisā¦ā
āI donāt know,ā Zhang Xi replied coldly. With a flick of his wrist, his gun spun skillfully around his finger, āIf they dare to come, thatās for the best. Iām just worried theyāll run off at the first chance like a coward, just like during the day.ā
After saying this, he suddenly gripped the gun handle and pointed it forward with lightning speed, muttering, āBut the roadblocks are guarded, they canāt escape. A coward backed into a corner might still jump up and bite, right? And then, Iāll justā¦ Bang!ā A ruthless smile crossed Zhang Xiās lips, āBlow their brains outā¦ā
āThatās not rightā¦ What he said isnāt rightā¦ Even if his glare once provoked me, I shouldnāt be stuck like this, should I? Why is this happeningā¦ Is it because of the captainās injury? Or that final smile he had?ā
Before Ling Mo jumped down, he had flashed a smile at them. Not only did the Glasses Man see it, but Luo Ming also caught a glimpse. Unlike the understanding of the Glasses Man and Zhang Xi, Luo Ming felt that there was something else hidden in that smileā¦ Right, it was confidence! How could someone determined to flee, someone viewed as a coward, have that kind of smileā¦
But this baseless feeling was something only he would believeā¦
āIām going for a smoke,ā Luo Ming finally stood up, unable to hold back any longer.
The Young Man in Yellow was about to stop him when Zhang Xi waved his hand and said, āLet him go, better than listening to his sighs here. To be honest, the more nervous he gets, the more Iām looking forward to itā¦ā
āIf youāre so good at talking big, why donāt you go out on the street and look for him?ā Luo Ming thought to himself, pulling out a cigarette as he walked toward the door. However, as he opened it, he suddenly paused.
There was something off about the corridorā¦
The space outside the door was dimly lit, eerily silent, and almost without any sound at all. Most of the doors were shut tight, but hidden behind them were one or two people, ready to spring out at the slightest disturbance. This scene ought to be normal, yet, for some reason, a powerful sense of danger surged up from deep within Luo Ming.
This feeling was essentially an amplification of his own emotions, but for there to be a sense of danger, it must mean his subconscious had noticed something was amissā¦ This special superpower had saved his life multiple times when facing zombies in the pastā¦
So Zhang Xi could choose not to believe it, but Luo Ming had complete faith in his emotional responses!
āThereās something wrongā¦ Something must be offā¦ā For a moment, Luo Ming could only hear the thumping of his own heartbeat. Zhang Xi and the Young Man in Yellow were still chatting; the corridor was empty, everything seemed normalā¦
āNo! This normalcyā¦ itās not normal at all; itās insteadā¦ā Just as his face changed and he attempted to retreat, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
Luo Ming had no idea what was happening. He hadnāt even seen how the person approached him-they were just suddenly there, right in front of him. In those dark, deep-set eyes was a profound detachment, even a hint of coldness. It was as if he wasnāt facing a human, but a humanoid beastā¦
The fear within him amplified wildly. The room was right behind him, with Zhang Xi and the others sitting there! But the instant the thought crossed his mind, even before he could open his mouth, a strange sensation suddenly emanated from his chest.
He paused, then looked down in a dazeā¦
Following the pale hand, he saw his heartā¦ as a large patch of dark blood slowly seeped from the wound, Luo Ming instantly felt something being drawn from his body.
āStrangeā¦ When did I become so weak? At leastā¦ at least let me struggle a bitā¦ I justā¦ just brought you guys backā¦ā Luo Ming suddenly realized that his heartbeat seemed to have faded awayā¦
And before consciousness scattered, what he saw was an exquisite faceā¦ For some reason, there seemed to be a hint of bewilderment on that mesmerizing face. She looked down at her hand, her eyelashes softly trembling, and her gaze appeared to turn peculiarā¦ āƤš½źĪ²Äį¹¢
āThatās rightā¦ Iāve seen her beforeā¦ Was she always this formidable? Soā¦ sheās not just good with a gunā¦ā That was Luo Mingās last thought. As the figure before him suddenly vanished, the cigarette held between his fingers slowly slipped to the groundā¦
āIs that so?ā the Young Man in Yellow chuckled twice, then turned to notice Luo Ming standing in the doorway.
When the cigarette hit the floor, he immediately frowned, and said to Zhang Xi, āXi-Ge, arenāt you going to ask him whatās up? He seems really off todayā¦ā
Zhang Xi turned his head with a grim expression and muttered under his breath, āWhat a hassle! He always acts like heās the lead in a drama, making a fuss over a falling star, or acting as if heās terminally ill whenever he catches a cold. Today heās even worseā¦ If heās so good at hiding things, why doesnāt he just keep them hiddenā¦ā
He rarely spoke this much, which showed how frustrated he was. Muttering to himself, Zhang Xi leaned impatiently against the doorframe and said, āLuo Ming! If youāre going out, then go already. Why are you standing there? Whatās so scary about Ling Mo? Youāre buying into all that mysterious nonsense too? If youāre going to be my partner, you should start learning from meā¦ Hey, Iām talking to you!ā
Seeing Luo Ming remain motionless, Zhang Xiās heart skipped a beat, and his expression unwittingly turned serious. Although he was scolding, his movements became slow. This scene sparked a hint of confusion in the Young Man in Yellow, but he quickly shook his head, muttering, āThe trap hasnāt been triggered, what could possibly happenā¦ hehā¦ā
āLuo Ming!ā Zhang Xi grabbed Luo Mingās arm. He intended to shove him forward, but the moment he grasped Luo Ming, he yanked him back with a forceful pull.
Luo Mingās body spun around, hitting the door with one side, his face frozen in an expression of surprise. His chest bore a large bloodstain, with five holes faintly visible over where his heart was. The slow trickle of blood indicated just how swift the Ambusherās attack must have beenā¦
āDamn!ā Zhang Xi swore instinctively, taking a step back. Luo Mingās corpse swayed and then crumpled forward with a thud.
āHeāsā¦ dead? How did he die?! This canāt be happening, he was strongā¦ā Zhang Xi muttered in shock.
The Young Man in Yellowās eyes widened as well, and his mind went blank with a āboomā: āWhat happened to my trap?!ā
āRightā¦ an ambush!ā Zhang Xi quickly regained his composure, grabbing his gun. But just at that moment, the door quivered slightly, and to his and the Young Man in Yellowās astonishment, it creaked shut with a āsqueakāā¦
As the door slammed shut, Zhang Xiās scalp tingled with a sudden realization. He had a vague feeling that this roomā¦ had gained an extra presence! Aside from him, the Young Man in Yellow, and the corpse on the floorā¦ there was a pair of hidden eyes watching them. The intruder had entered precisely when the door closedā¦
āSilently killed Luo Ming, and walked into the room right under our noses, even closing the door on the way inā¦ What kind of superpower is this? Noā¦ itās not possible. Thereās no way anyone could enter like that, regardless of the method. The only explanation isā¦ this personās speed is incredible! Maybe he slipped in the moment we blinked!ā Zhang Xiās mind raced, and he felt that even if he hadnāt guessed it completely, he was likely very close to the truth.
But understanding this didnāt do much good. The most pressing question now wasā¦ what to do?!
āI underestimated himā¦ā For the first time, a dramatic reaction appeared on Zhang Xiās usually stoic face. Clenching his teeth, he began inching toward the window. He could feel the Ambusher was in the room, perhaps watching from some shadow, but he didnāt dare make any sudden movesā¦ He even had a sinking feeling that if he so much as attempted to pull the trigger, heād end up like Luo Ming next!
āI canāt gamble on this, I still have a chanceā¦ā
The Young Man in Yellow was pale, staring fearfully at the ominous door. āWhatās going on? Is the ambusher outside the door?ā His hand now held a dagger, but despite the weapon, his expression was one of intense unease. The scene before him was just too bizarreā¦
Zhang Xi glanced backward out of the corner of his eye, then shot a look at the Young Man in Yellow, a flicker of ruthlessness crossing his face.
āWatch the door!ā
He suddenly shouted, then abruptly turned and made a mad dash for the window.
Three metersā¦ Two meters!
