Chapter 1115: Mastermind
Ling Mo was stunned for a moment, and was about to explain with a bitter smile when Gu Shuangshuang continued, āAlso, the person who was just here-have you killed him?ā
As soon as Gu Shuangshuang said this, Ling Mo felt his scalp tingle! From the moment he entered this roomā¦ no, from the moment he stepped into this Corridor, he hadnāt seen a single person! And in the room where Gu Shuangshuang was, there was nothing but Spider!
After a full second, Ling Mo asked in a low voice, āWhoā¦ are you talking about?ā
Gu Shuangshuang seemed taken aback too, but she quickly replied, āI didnāt see clearly, but it seemedā¦ it was a manā¦ He had his back to me, and there was Spider Silk everywhere, so I couldnāt grasp much of the situationā¦ But, he spoke to meā¦ā
āWhat did he say?ā Ling Mo pressed. The man Gu Shuangshuang mentioned was most likely that mental ability Progenitor Zombieā¦ But the thought that the other party had been here just a second ago, and then vanished right under his nose, made Ling Moās spine tingleā¦
Gu Shuangshuang seemed to realize something from Ling Moās reaction, and she became nervous again, stammering, āHe said a lotā¦ It wasā¦ he saidā¦ to let you come in alone, heād take you somewhere, and then heād letā¦ let us goā¦ He said you donāt need to worry, you should know what he wants, so you donāt need to worry about the safety of the others. Heā¦ he also said this is what humans call an equivalent exchange, the kind of deal humans like best. He chose this peaceful solution so both sides could get what they want while being satisfied. He personally doesnāt like senseless killing, it causes unnecessary wasteā¦ Iā¦ thatās all I rememberā¦ā
āHe really is a mastermindā¦ Using two peopleās lives to threaten me. Thatās quite a moveā¦ā
Ling Mo was thinking this when Gu Shuangshuang suddenly gritted her teeth and said, āCaptainā¦ Even though Iām really afraid of dyingā¦ I canāt use someone elseās life to save mineā¦ I think Skinny Monkey must feel the same! Captain, youā¦ you should goā¦ He must have done something to me, even if you want to take me away now, it definitely wonāt work, maybeā¦ it would even hurt you. Iā¦ I was never treated as cannon fodder before, but Iāve always been a burdenā¦ Even now, I havenāt done anything remarkable, just followed the team, thinking every day about surviving another dayā¦ Iā¦ā
āI donāt blame you allā¦ You gave me tasks, even entrusted us with the way out, actually, both Skinny Monkey and I were very happy. In this world, to survive, you always have to give something up. If you want someone elseās protection, you have to give up a lot, like dignity and personalityā¦ Relying on myself might mean dying, but at least I get through each day on my own abilityā¦ Captainā¦ Iām scaredā¦ reallyā¦ but I wonāt regret itā¦ Just treat it asā¦ as my requestā¦ Donāt worry about us anymoreā¦ā
Listening to Gu Shuangshuang say this with a sobbing voice, Ling Mo couldnāt help but feel a pang of sympathyā¦ If not for this disaster, she might have been a quiet girl clutching her books, blushing when talking to strangers, right? Maybe she would have gotten married and had children, lived a peaceful life, and for this girl, those ordinary days would have been the best. Not like now, forcing herself to endure being covered in Spider, crying as she gave up her life through psychic communicationā¦
āAlright, donāt cry anymore.ā Ling Moās tone suddenly became calm. He smiled and said, āYou suddenly crying like this makes things really difficult for me. Honestly, Iām not good at dealing with girlsā tearsā¦ And sorry, I have to refuse your request. Besides, you canāt make such a big decision for Skinny Monkey, right? If he knew, heād burst into tears on the spot. Just imagine him bawling his eyes outā¦ā
Maybe picturing Skinny Monkeyās wretched face all scrunched up, Gu Shuangshuang didnāt quite break into a smile, but her mood stabilized a lotā¦
āBesides, I canāt just stand by and watch you all die. Alright, alright, donāt get worked up, Iām not going to obediently offer up my own head either. Thatās not called bravely facing death, itās just brainless behavior. To be forced by Zombies to such a degree, thatās just too patheticā¦ He wants to take what he wants without paying any price? Then Iāll make him understand, this world isnāt so naive. Maybe his methods work on others, but with me, they wonātā¦ā Ling Moās tone gradually turned cold. Just as he said, he wouldnāt abandon his teammates, but at the same time, he wouldnāt foolishly throw his life away. In his eyes, such behavior was no different from being an idiot.
Gu Shuangshuang also gradually calmed down, but she was still puzzled: āThenā¦ what are you planning to do? I thinkā¦ that man must have considered all this tooā¦ Iām just afraid youāll fall into his trap.ā
āDonāt worry, I wonāt act rashlyā¦ How about this, you describe Skinny Monkeyās situation to me in detail. I think I should find him first. Donāt worry, Iāll leave a mark by your side, youāll be fine. Since the other side has said so, before he gets me, he wonāt really do anything to you. But youāll have to bear with these Spidersā¦ā Ling Mo sighed and said.
Gu Shuangshuang replied with a bit of fear, āMmā¦ Iāll do my bestā¦ā She paused, then began to carefully recallā¦ From the moment she first saw Skinny Monkey, to what she saw before she lost consciousness, she told Ling Mo everything in detail.
After listening, Ling Mo simply responded calmly, then said, āIāll go look for him now, take care of yourselfā¦ā
āOkayā¦ā Gu Shuangshuang immediately became nervous, but she still answered firmly. After all, she had already prepared herself to die just now, so now she only had to endure for a while longer, she could still hold on. In fact, even her emotions were much calmer than before.
Before leaving, Ling Mo carefully looked around the room again, but unfortunately, he still didnāt find anything unusual. How did that Progenitor Zombie disappear from a sealed room just a second before he appeared? That was still a mysteryā¦
But after leaving the suite, Ling Mo suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He frowned and thought for a moment, suddenly feelingā¦ as if something was off about everything that just happenedā¦
But what exactly was itā¦
āNo, itās not an illusion, definitely notā¦ Precisely because Iām thinking so much now, Iām even more sensitive than usualā¦ That room just now was indeed filled with a strange sense of oppressionā¦ Very real, very clear, just like the feeling when facing those Senior Zombies, as if I moved a bit more, Iād be caught by something and lose my lifeā¦ That feeling was just too unforgettableā¦ā
Because he was a spiritual body, Ling Mo knew this feeling definitely came from the mind. But those light spots couldnāt possibly give him such a sensation, and the psychic power of those Spiders was so weak it could almost be ignoredā¦ Could it be the remnants left by that Progenitor Zombie? If thatās the case, then the opponentās strength is truly terrifying, because just the lingering aura alone made Ling Mo feel a strong sense of life-and-death crisis. If the opponent was really that vicious, thereād be no need for this human exchange game, he could just rush in and kill them allā¦
And the opponentās current behavior precisely showed that although heās very strong, when facing Ling Moās team, heās still somewhat hesitant. This means that even if Ling Mo and his group arenāt strong enough to kill him, they would definitely cause him a lot of trouble, and for that Progenitor Zombie, he clearly thinks this is a bad dealā¦
āSo, the opponent has actually revealed his own situation unintentionallyā¦ But the key is still just nowā¦ Thatās it!ā
Ling Mo racked his brains to recall the scene just now, and at the moment his memory replayed, he suddenly understoodā¦
Everything just now seemed natural, but within it, there was a fatal flaw. If he hadnāt recalled so carefully, he might have missed itā¦
