Chapter 839: The Moving Corpse
Dealing with a cowardly Camp Member seemed like no problem at all for these destructive Membersā¦ Even the Youthās tone was indifferent, only showing a slight change when Ling Mo was mentionedā¦
āKnowing full well that leaving survivors would expose information, he still did itā¦ā the Youth mused, āPerhaps thatās why his secret was discovered by Chief of Staff Wang? Rather than using their lives to blackmail Yuwen Xuan, Wang is more interested in the secret he carriesā¦ā
However, just as he stepped out of the door, the Youth suddenly came to a halt. His gaze slowly swept over the dark, long Corridor, feeling an inexplicable sense of uneaseā¦
The Corridor was silent, with not a soul in sightā¦
That unsettling feeling was suddenly magnified, and he vaguely felt as though there were hidden eyes watching him from the shadows.
āSomethingā¦ doesnāt seem rightā¦ā the Youth thought for a moment with his head lowered, then abruptly turned to look at the bald guyās corpse.
āNo, itās not the corpse thatās strange. His behavior earlier didnāt show any suspicious signsā¦ At least at the moment of his death, I didnāt notice anything wrong. Soā¦ā
The real cause of this feeling must be related to some detail associated with itā¦ Thereās something he noticed, but didnāt take seriouslyā¦ It was a vague sense, but once perceived, it became difficult to ignoreā¦
āBald guy, specialty is as an explosive ordnance disposal team memberā¦ It canāt possibly be related to his baldness, so it must be the latter. The explosive ordnance disposal teamā¦ Could it be bombs? But only specific places in this building have explosives set up. Even if they were all detonated, it wouldnāt completely destroy this place. Furthermore, from a time perspective, they couldnāt have set up new bombsā¦ So, what is it?ā
āWhat is the source of this discomfortā¦ā
At that moment, the Youth suddenly frozeā¦
He had figured it out!
āAh!ā
A scream suddenly emerged from behind, sounding bizarre as if it was just issued from the throat and then abruptly cut offā¦ Immediately followed by a thud, and when the Youth hurriedly turned around, another person was lying on the floor of the room.
Blood was gushing out from this personās abdomen, while another individual standing beside him held a blood-stained dagger. Blood dripped down rapidly, forming a pool at his feetā¦ His face was ashen, and his expression terrified. It took him several seconds to snap out of it, and the dagger dropped from his hand with a clang.
āVice Captain Xieā¦ā The standing one was the Team Member who just killed the bald guy, and the stabbed one was another member of the destructive teamā¦
The Team Member who acted seemed somewhat unsteady, slowly retreating as his gaze darted back and forth between the fallen comrade and the Youth, nervously saying, āNo, I didnāt mean toā¦ Iā¦ It wasnāt him that I wanted to killā¦ā As he explained, his hand slowly reached for his waist.
His forehead was already beaded with cold sweat, and his expression was quite complex. It was an eerie situation, but regardless, he had already killed someoneā¦ Although the other person was still convulsing on the floor, the amount of blood lost indicated that survival was impossibleā¦
āVice Captain Xie, you know Iād never harm a teammate, you know thatā¦ā The Team Memberās eyes showed a hint of fierceness, and his hand had already gripped a cold knife handle at his waistā¦ If the Youth refused to believe him, then he would have no choice but toā¦
āWhat did you see?ā the Youth suddenly asked. In just a few breathsā time, he had calmed down from his initial shock.
Indeed, that unsettling feeling was no illusion, though he hadnāt expected it to manifest in such a wayā¦
The Team Member raised his head, his peripheral gaze falling on the corpse, as he suddenly took a deep breath, his face turning horrified: āItā¦ it justā¦ movedā¦ā ÅĪÉ“oĶźĆÅ
āBe more specific,ā the Youthās expression seemed to grow somewhat grimā¦
āAs I was about to walk out, I saw him smile at meā¦ā The Team Memberās expression looked as if heād seen a ghost, and his voice seemed eerie in the darknessā¦
āI thought I was seeing things, so I casually glanced back. But as soon as I turned my head, I found he was goneā¦ A heart shredded to pieces, yet moving freely-is that even possible?! I was startled, immediately turning towards the door, but to my shockā¦ he appeared behind me! I had just turned and was face-to-face with himā¦ and he was smiling, asking me, āWhatās wrong with you?āā
The Team Memberās voice began to shake as he continued, āWhile he was speaking, blood was gushing from his wound and mouth. How could he be alive in that state? So Iā¦ acted instinctively! But who would have knownā¦ after being stabbed, he turnedā¦ into thisā¦ā He panted heavily and suddenly shouted, āVice Captain Xie! I truly didnāt mean it! You have to believe me!ā
The Youth looked down at the Team Member lying on the floor, muttering, āNo, the problem isnāt with himā¦ā He then looked up at the still shouting Team Member and abruptly interrupted, āYouā¦ā
āWho exactly are you?ā
ā¦
In the dimly lit room, a metallic scent of blood slowly permeated the airā¦
With the Youthās question, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat tense.
The Team Member was taken aback, awkwardly laughing after a while, and asked, āVice Captain Xie, what do you mean by that? Of course, I am who I am, who else could I beā¦ā Then suddenly, as if realizing something, he said, āDo you think thereās something wrong with me mentally? No, I justā¦ maybe I just had a hallucinationā¦ā
āItās not a hallucination. Thereās no residual mental energy here.ā The Youth took a slow step forward, his expression turning serious, one hand slowly opening, āThe only abnormality, is youā¦ā
The Team Member instantly felt an invisible pressure, causing him to involuntarily step back, saying, āI donāt understand what you meanā¦ā
āMore precisely, your thoughts have been altered by something else.ā The Youthās gaze shifted slightly upward, and then he raised his hand, focusing on the Team Memberās head. āIn your psychic realm, thereās something foreignā¦ā
He pointed at the Team Memberās forehead, his eyes flashing briefly before turning sharp: āBut just that alone isnāt too troublesomeā¦ā
āNoā¦ Vice Captain Xieā¦ā the Team Member said in terror as he suddenly drew the knife from his waist. He widened his eyes, staring at the Youthās finger, and suddenly shouted, āXie Wensu! Do you really think Iām afraid of you? Using your superpower on me is no different than killing me!ā
With that, he raised the knife, his muscles instantly tensing all over.
However, just as he took a step forward to charge, the Youthās finger swiftly pressed downward.
In an instant, the charging Team Member appeared momentarily confused. He lost his balance and stumbled forward, but the Youth deftly sidestepped him.
āThe real problem lies with these survivorsā¦ He left them behind so we would interrogate them. When all our attention was focused on the bald guy, that was the moment he made his move!ā The Youthās palm rested firmly on the back of the Team Memberās Hindbrain, and as his eyes flickered, the Team Memberās body began to convulseā¦
āBut, how exactly did he manage to do itā¦ā
Just then, the Youthās peripheral vision caught something behind him.
That familiar feeling of being watched returned, like an icy needle piercing into his back.
Though he didnāt turn around, the Youth was certain that there was something lurking in the shadow behind the doorā¦
