Chapter 1053: Back to Reality
Just as the âlittle girlâ had said, this was Skinny Monkeyâs dreamscape, and everything here was dictated by his Subconscious. If Ling Mo wanted to resist, heâd have to destroy-at its root, it was a contest of psychic powerâŠ
If Skinny Monkey, who wasnât even a mental ability user, went up against Ling Mo, heâd probably collapse in a single move⊠For Ling Mo, this was a dilemma with no easy solution.
âDie, then. If I chop you once here, I wonder how much psychic power itâll cost me⊠Iâm really looking forward to it! Heehee⊠heeâŠâ
However, before the little girl could finish, she suddenly fell silent.
âYou⊠what are you trying to do?â
Ling Mo wiped the corner of his mouth, slowly stood up, and said, âDidnât I already tell you before? The fact that I can expose you means I already have a way to deal with youâŠâ
He was speaking to Skinny Monkey, whose hands were seized from behind by a shadowy AvatarâŠ
Skinny Monkey was still struggling in vain, but the shadow had already locked him firmly in placeâŠ
Even without destruction, Ling Mo could use a gentle method to temporarily restrain Skinny Monkey, though only for a short while⊠If Skinny Monkey struggled any further, their confrontation would likely escalate into outright conflictâŠ
âYou want to kill him? Heeheehee⊠Go on, kill him. Maybe Iâm inside him, you know⊠Didnât you witness it with your own eyes before? Deep down, youâve long suspected as much, havenât you?â
âStop laughing. I admit what you said is highly misleading⊠But you can fool my thoughts, not my eyes. Especially when⊠I have two pairs of eyes.â Ling Mo walked straight up to Skinny Monkey, sneering coldly.
âTwo pairs? Which twoâŠâ
The little girl started to ask, but suddenly froze. At the same time, Skinny Monkey slowly turned his head to look at the shadow behind him.
âCrapâŠâ
Unexpectedly⊠while it was misleading and hinting at Ling Mo, Ling Mo had been doing the same in returnâŠ
The moment that Avatar appeared, its appearance drew all of its attention. But looking closely now, this shadow⊠wasnât even fully formed! Other than the eyes and hands, the rest was nothing but true âmistâ!
In the end, the little girl had been fooled by this prop that so closely resembled herself. She couldnât wait to take new actionâŠ
âThings already chewed up arenât so easily put back together⊠Besides, even if itâs a new ability, itâs only in its infancy⊠You took an infant in an apron for a chainsaw killer-clearly, you left your brain behind when you split offâŠâ Ling Mo raised his head, smiling sinisterly.
âYou!⊠Heehee, so what if you see through me⊠You think you can do anything? You saw Iâm in this body, but what can you do?â The little girl still sneered, though her tone now carried a hint of guilt. In her mind, she still had one last layer of protectionâŠ
âDo what? Of course⊠Iâll pull you out!â
Ling Mo suddenly reached out and grabbed the axe in Skinny Monkeyâs hand.
The instant he tore it free, the axe emitted a shrill, miserable screamâŠ
âSaying youâre inside his body was just another of your misleading details! Only a fool would believe you!â
Ling Mo gripped the axe tightly, and as he did, it began to morph.
Before long, what he held was no longer an axe, but the little girl herself.
Compared to the main body, she was clearly smaller, though her clothes and appearance were identicalâŠ
She struggled desperately, glaring at Ling Mo with hatred.
Freed from her grasp, Skinny Monkey immediately stopped struggling, standing blankly in place, motionless.
âWant to know how I found out?â Ling Mo fixed his gaze on the little girl.
âIf youâre going to kill me, just do itâŠâ she spat bitterly.
âItâs simpleâŠâ
âI donât want to hear it!â
ââŠWith Skinny Monkeyâs psychic power, how could he possibly conjure such a powerful axe? Heâs a coward who needs cheats even to kill in his own dreams! Since you couldnât be found anywhere in the psychic realm, then the only place with a strong psychic fluctuation had to be the last possibility, right?â ÈâłêÉ”ĐÄĆ
âYou were just betting that I wouldnât dare attack Skinny Monkey. But you didnât consider that as long as he had an independent psychic realm, he couldnât have been completely under your control. So you could only hide outside his spiritual body. I was just wondering why Skinny Monkey ârevivedâ so quickly, yet faded away so eerily slow. Turns out it was your doing⊠And when I startled you just now, you couldnât help but materialize yourself⊠Just in time for Xiao Hei to get a good look.â
Ling Mo explained in detail.
âSo it was because you underestimated him⊠that you slipped up?â The little girl laughed.
âNo wayâŠâ Ling Mo shot her a contemptuous glance. âThe fact he wasnât devoured by you is already impressive⊠Iâve said all this and havenât sensed any abnormal fluctuations elsewhere. Looks like you donât have a No.2 Avatar⊠In that case⊠die.â
The Avatar behind him suddenly opened its mouth wide and swallowed the little girl whole.
In that instant, her expression twisted violently and quickly turned into a wisp of black smokeâŠ
BurpâŠ
The shadow let out a satisfied belch. Though the spiritual energy making up the little girl wasnât much, it was pureâŠ
And with that swallow, the Avatarâs body became even more solid, its long, flame-like tail gradually growing to match its ArmâŠ
âHuh⊠an unexpected bonus.â
Ling Mo was briefly stunned.
He then looked at Skinny Monkey. As the little girl was devoured, Skinny Monkeyâs spiritual body rapidly began to collapse, while the Corridors on either side of Ling Mo sped up as if frantically receding.
As Skinny Monkey faded away, Ling Mo found himself retreating to the original room.
Bang!
The door shut again, and Ling Mo returned to the bedâŠ
Huff!
Ling Moâs eyes snapped open as he sat up violently.
âLing-Ge?â
Ye Lianâs voice came from nearby. She was holding a glass of water, looking at him with wide eyes.
At the same time, there was a âthudâ from outside the door.
âWhatâs wrong?â Ye Lian turned toward the door, only to see Ling Mo already jumping out of bed.
When he opened the door, Gu Shuangshuang had already run out from the room on the other side.
âSkinny Monkeyâs gone⊠huh? Why is heâŠâ
Gu Shuangshuang stared at Ling Mo in surprise as he helped Skinny Monkey up from the ground and checked his condition.
âItâs fine⊠he just fainted,â Ling Mo said after a quick look.
âCaptain, you⊠youâre awake?â Gu Shuangshuang quickly caught on and ran over, excited.
Ye Lian came up as well, draping a coat over Ling Moâs shoulders and helping him lift Skinny Monkey.
âMm⊠just woke up,â Ling Mo nodded.
What he saw now was almost identical to the Corridors from the dreamscape, the only difference being the light⊠It was clearly daytime, and the oppressive feeling of the dream was gone. For a moment, Ling Mo felt disoriented, then couldnât help but smile bitterly to himself.
Who would have thought, before even opening his eyes, heâd already wandered this building onceâŠ
But when Ling Mo looked at Gu Shuangshuang, the girl froze again.
âYour⊠your eyesâŠâ she said in shock.
âMy eyes? What about them?â Ling Mo asked, puzzled.
âJust now⊠I think I saw⊠another pair of eyesâŠâ Gu Shuangshuang covered her mouth, as if she couldnât believe what sheâd seen.
But that pair of eyes had appeared and vanished quickly; looking again, Ling Moâs gaze was back to normal.
âIs that soâŠâ Ling Mo covered one eye with his hand, the corners of his lips curling up faintly.
At least the appearance of Xiao Hei wasnât a dreamâŠ
âHow did Skinny Monkey⊠end up hereâŠâ
âI donât know either⊠Maybe he just couldnât wait to talk to the captain? I remember he said he had something to tell you⊠And every time he wakes up, he always asks about youâŠâ
Ling Mo just smiled and interrupted them, âAlright⊠whatever he needed to say, heâs already said. Letâs get him to restâŠâ
