Chapter 977: About the Sneaky Filming
âWhat⊠what do you meanâŠâ The Monster suddenly lunged forward fiercely, only to be stomped back into the silt by Xu Shuhan. Despite the ferocity in its demeanor, the hint of panic in its eyes revealed that Ling Mo had likely hit the nail on the head.
âAlthough your mannerisms and thought patterns are already quite close to humans⊠you must have learned these from humans, right? But just by interacting with a few people, you dream of becoming truly human, which is a bit naive. Even with the addition of human memories, youâre just a rookie carrying an 18g hard drive without any experienceâŠâ Ling Mo casually took a step back, delivering his words mercilessly. Xu Shuhan nodded in agreement at the beginning, but when Ling Mo reached the latter partâŠ
âHey!â
ââŠIn summary, youâre still a bit green.â
Ling Moâs words clearly struck a nerve with the Monster, which attempted to struggle again: âWho are you calling a rookieâŠâ
However, after struggling twice, it began drooling at Ling Mo⊠the aftereffects of excessive energy consumption were already manifestingâŠ
âYeah, it canât resist anymoreâŠâ Ling Mo nodded in satisfaction.
âBut it wonât cooperate either!â Xu Shuhan continued to pin the Monster down, exclaiming, âForget cooperation, itâll bring new trouble! Didnât you say it has companions or something⊠But, compared to Casterway, Iâd rather deal with more of these half-baked ones⊠No, letâs not talk about that for now. What should we do?â
âUghâŠâ The Monster grunted in protest.
Ling Mo pondered for a moment and said, âIâm afraid your hope will be dashed⊠There are clearly more Casterways here, and finished products like it should be in the minority. In the long run, these self-proclaimed âGiant God Warriorsâ indeed have more potential than Casterway. Casterway is only troublesome in this underground environment, but the threat of âGiant God Warriorsâ becomes apparent in human crowds. Remember what it said? After transforming into me, it would go to the surface and enter human gathering areas⊠If these Monsters actually achieve this, the consequences would be unimaginable.â
âThatâs trueâŠâ Xu Shuhan listened, feeling a jolt of fear. Although she was no longer human, it was clear these Monsters werenât their allies either. If these Monsters reached the surface and leveraged their transformation ability to gain an advantage over Zombies, life would become even more difficult for both humans and Zombies.
âAs for what to do nowâŠâ Ling Mo glanced at the Monster and suddenly asked, âSuch a special âcreation,â if you were the Progenitor, would you let it fall into enemy hands? Even if you could, what about food like us? Donât forget. It could deploy âGiant God Warriorsâ for us; would it just watch us leave at this point?â
Xu Shuhan paused, then showed a look of realization: âYou meanâŠâ
âThatâs exactly what I mean,â Ling Mo used Tentacles to bind the Monsterâs limbs. Then, with a casual âtug,â he said, âWe can fish in reverse. Whether we catch Monsters or the Progenitor depends on our luck. But either way, these decoys might help us find Yuwen Xuan. If all else failsâŠâ
For Ling Mo, the best approach was Control and Devour. But the former wasnât convenient to do in front of Xu Shuhan, and judging by the Monsterâs psychic power condition, controlling it wouldnât be easy. Instead of expending a lot of psychic power to control it, it was better to take a more cautious approach. After all, this was the enemyâs lair, and conserving energy meant more security.
As for Devour, it was even less feasible⊠It concerned Yuwen Xuan, and if Devouring only yielded some scattered memories, it would be too disappointingâŠ
After much deliberation, Ling Mo made his decision. First, reduce the Monsterâs threat level, then use it as a decoy⊠This method was essentially using the enemyâs tactics against them, though the logic wasnât as simple as Ling Moâs words suggested.
He had a strong feeling⊠the existence of this âGiant God Warriorâ might be the key connecting all the questions. Mastering it could gradually unravel the mystery hidden beneath the cityâs underground. While most people were unaware, a greater crisis was brewing beneath their feetâŠ
âSo, do we just wait?â Xu Shuhanâs question interrupted Ling Moâs thoughts.
Ling Mo snapped back to reality and said, âOf course not, fishing requires a place to cast the rod. Want to check it out? A hundred meters ahead.â
âThere? But the Monster saidâŠâ Xu Shuhan said hesitantly. However, she understood that there must be something special there; otherwise, the Monster wouldnât desperately try to lure them over. But clues also meant risk, and not a small one⊠ÈĂąêêÎÎĆ
âWeâll let it go.â Ling Mo âtuggedâ the Tentacle again and said.
Seconds later, Ling Mo and Xu Shuhan dragged the Monster to a spot just ten meters away from the target location. Although they hadnât stepped into the âtrapâ area, the surrounding silence and darkness still gave them a very oppressive feeling. Especially when they looked deeper⊠the passage seemed like a gaping black mouth, and even when they opened their hands slightly to uncover the Flashlight, it still couldnât illuminate.
âMaybe thereâs something absorbing lightâŠâ Xu Shuhan said, glaring with red eyes.
âCan you see clearly?â Ling Mo asked. His vision was already sharp among humans, but he couldnât even make out a blurry outline. As Xu Shuhan said, the passage seemed to devour light⊠everything within ten meters was normal, beyond that was another world. If Ling Mo hadnât exposed the Monsterâs identity, they might have already fallen into this absolute darknessâŠ
âA little.â Xu Shuhan blinked and said, âIt feels like⊠thereâs a layer of fog over my eyes. Anyway, itâs very strange there; we shouldnât approach recklessly. Maybe youâll really fish out something strangeâŠâ
âThen letâs wait and see.â Ling Mo said, pulling out an item from his pocket-a Mobile Phone.
Although not used much, overall, this gadget was quite simple and practical. So before setting out, Zhang Yu from Miracle Base equipped everyone with one. Ling Mo was also accustomed to carrying it. He hadnât expected it to come in handy at this momentâŠ
âAre you going to take a picture?â Xu Shuhan asked, thinking Ling Mo wanted to save a recordâŠ
âNot for now. And with Old Lan around, itâs better to bring back a corpseâŠâ Ling Mo replied.
âThen what are you doing?â
âFilming, or rather, sneaky filmingâŠâ Ling Mo set up the Mobile Phone and raised it above the Monsterâs head.
The red dot on the screen blinked rhythmically, while the image in the lens appeared very blurryâŠ
âBetter prepare a camera next timeâŠâ Xu Shuhan couldnât help but suggest.
âDonât usually need it⊠canât just randomly film an 18g or somethingâŠâ
âAre you done yet! Youâre still stuck on the 18g, arenât you!â
âDidnât expect you to be so clear on it, as expected from someone in the circleâŠâ
âWhoâs in the circle! Get to work!â
Actually, Ling Mo didnât have much to do⊠After placing the Mobile Phone less than thirty centimeters above the Monsterâs head, he slowly released his hand. As Ling Moâs palm left, the Mobile Phone eerily hovered in the air.
âI suddenly think you could have an English name like David or somethingâŠâ Xu Shuhan exclaimed. Despite Ling Moâs focused gaze and seemingly careful control, the peculiar scene still felt quite novel to Xu ShuhanâŠ
âAlright, letâs go.â Ling Mo kicked the Monsterâs rear and whispered.
