Chapter 1116: The Scam
The problem was with Gu Shuangshuang!
During his recent conversation with Gu Shuangshuang, Ling Mo had been using psychic communicationā¦ But strangely, Gu Shuangshuang had cooperated the whole timeā¦ She hadnāt tried to speak directly, nor had she questioned Ling Moās actions. Most crucially, her behaviorā¦ was just too natural! It was as if she was already used to this way of communicatingā¦
And this was definitely not how Gu Shuangshuang should react! At least, not the Gu Shuangshuang Ling Mo knew! If there was anyone here, besides the Zombie Puppets, who might be familiar with psychic communication, it would only be that Progenitor Zombie, andā¦ that womanā¦
Ling Mo suddenly felt a chill run down his spine! If he hadnāt found this flaw, he would have been completely fooled! Who would have thought that in such a short time, the other side could figure out Gu Shuangshuangās speaking habits and personality so thoroughly! Looking back now, even the less smooth parts had been covered up by fear and excitementā¦
It was just too precise! Besides that, Ling Mo couldnāt help but think of another problemā¦ It seemed that everything had started the moment they stepped into the granaryā¦ So, did this whole thing really begin then? If so, this series of schemes was just too timely, wasnāt it? Honestly, it made Ling Mo start to have a terrifying thoughtā¦
Could it be that from the moment he entered Dawn Town, he was already in the other sideās sights?
Zhang Sheās death. That was actually the real beginningā¦
Death itself isnāt frightening. Whatās scary is the unknown lurking in the darkness before death arrives. Thatās what no one can face calmly. Just like Ling Mo now-even though heād realized all this in time, he couldnāt help but feel chills running down his backā¦
These were the things heād already discovered, but what about those he hadnāt noticed yet? When would they suddenly jump out and reveal their hideous facesā¦
Ling Mo took a deep breath, then continued floating forward as if nothing had happened: āNo matter what that thing was that just talked to meā¦ Since the other side knew Iād only act after finding Skinny Monkey, then no matter what, heād have waited quietly until then. For us, thatās not necessarily a bad thingā¦ But since his goal is just me, heāll do everything he can to separate me from the othersā¦ But thatās not a problem I can solve aloneā¦ At times like this, I can only trust my teammates.ā
He knew very well what was happening here. It was probably all under the gaze of that Progenitor Zombie. If he wanted to save Gu Shuangshuang and Skinny Monkey, he absolutely couldnāt let it show that heād noticed anything wrong. That might be the only advantage he had leftā¦ Which meant he couldnāt give any hints to those around him right now, exceptā¦
āā¦Looks like itās just up ahead!ā Mu Chen and the others finally reached the area near the Dormitory Building, but as they raced up the steep slope, someone suddenly noticed a problemā¦
āHey, whereās the captain?ā Ye Kaiās voice came from behind. āHow come he disappeared in the blink of an eye? I just saw him turn around, like he was about to say something to usā¦ā
āYeahā¦ Whereās the captainā¦ā Everyone looked around, and suddenly realized Ling Mo had vanished right before their eyesā¦
āMaybe heās already gone in?ā
āSomethingās wrongā¦ā Xu Shuhan stopped in her tracks, frowning. āI was watching him just now. No matter how fast he is, itās impossibleā¦ā As she spoke, she turned her head. But in that instant, Xu Shuhan frozeā¦
Behind her was nothing but an empty passageā¦ The voices that had just sounded behind her seemed to have appeared and vanished like an auditory hallucination. Xu Shuhan stared in horror into the depths of the passage, and just then, a strange sound suddenly came from the darkness, rapidly approaching herā¦
Rustleā¦
At first the sound was vague, but it grew louder and louderā¦ Xu Shuhan could clearly sense countless giant Spiders hiding in the darkness, quickly surrounding herā¦ Maybe those companions had already been silently taken by these Spidersā¦ And now, it was her turnā¦ Åį¼ā¦ÉµāæĆį¹£
Xu Shuhanās body started trembling uncontrollably. She was faced with two choicesā¦ One, retreat into the Dormitory Building immediately; twoā¦ keep standing hereā¦ But whichever she chose, sheād have to fight like madā¦
āIt canāt just suddenly disappearā¦ Although in my eyes, theyāre all prey too, hunting them always comes at a priceā¦ If they havenāt disappeared, then the problem must be with meā¦ I canāt moveā¦ I mustnāt moveā¦ā
In the blink of an eye, Xu Shuhanās mind had already sorted out the issueā¦ But understanding it was one thing; how her body should react was anotherā¦
Rustle!
The huge noise was getting closer and closer, and Xu Shuhan could vaguely make out the outlines of the Spidersā¦ They were even bigger than sheād imagined, looking ferocious and terrifying. The moment they appeared, Xu Shuhan felt a strong sense of life-and-death crisis.
If she didnāt move, sheād dieā¦ If she didnāt resist, sheād be gnawed to the bone by these Spiders in an instantā¦ This thought quickly replaced everything else in Xu Shuhanās mind, making her eyes turn redder and redder behind the maskā¦
Finally, the swarm of Spiders fully revealed themselves, closing in, leaping at her! Xu Shuhan clenched her fists, her blood boiling, heart pounding wildlyā¦ How should she judge? What choice was the right one?!
ā¦At the very instant the Spiders lunged at her, Xu Shuhan suddenly squeezed her eyes shut and let out a scream: āAhā¦ā At the same time, a muffled āthudā sounded on her maskā¦
Thud!
Thud thud!
It took a good ten seconds before Xu Shuhan gradually came to from the blankness in her mind. At this moment, her mask was still echoing with thudsā¦
Xu Shuhan mustered her courage and slowly opened her eyesā¦ But to her surprise, there wasnāt a giant Spider clinging to her faceā¦ Just then, another Dark Shadow suddenly slammed into her, striking her mask once more.
āHey!ā
Xu Shuhan shuddered all over, finally hearing a voiceā¦ Turns out, besides the āthud,ā there was another sound in front of herā¦
āHey, are you awake yet?ā
Xu Shuhan looked forward in confusion, following the voice, and at that moment, a figure finally couldnāt hold back and leapt up, flashing past her eyes and shouting, āCanāt you look down? Youāre making me feel really hurt here!ā
āHm? Black Silk?ā Xu Shuhan quickly lowered her head, just in time to see Black Silk standing before her with hands on hips. She looked around, still shaken, and asked, āWhere are those Spiders?ā
Seeing Black Silk silent, Xu Shuhan answered herself, āNo Spiders, right?ā
āThatās right, you all just fell into a brief hallucination at the same time,ā Black Silk said.
āThen why are you here?ā
āI rushed overā¦ā
Xu Shuhan turned with Black Silkās figure and finally saw that Mu Chen and the others were all standing behind herā¦ Ye Kai was among them, holding his nose, looking like heād just been punched. But Xu Shuhan instantly understoodā¦ At the moment they were disturbed by the hallucination, it was Black Silk who rushed over and separated them.
The Spiders that had just appeared before their eyes were most likely each otherā¦ If theyād recklessly attacked, it would have turned into mutual slaughterā¦ Ye Kai was probably stopped by Black Silk when he lost his composure. Xu Shuhan also knew clearly that if Black Silk hadnāt woken her up, she might have collapsed and lost control as wellā¦
The group exchanged glances, all looking a bit pale, and at this moment Xu Shuhan also noticed that the only one truly missing from the team was Ling Mo, who had suddenly vanished at the startā¦
Yuwen Xuan tapped his forehead and said, āLooks like the hallucination wasnāt just to make us kill each otherā¦ The main thing was to get Ling Mo awayā¦ and Xia Na and the othersā¦ They should be just ahead, right? But now theyāre nowhere to be seenā¦ā
āYeahā¦ Host Xu just screamed so loudly, if they were nearby, they shouldāve rushed over by nowā¦ā Zhang Xincheng agreed.
Xu Shuhan suddenly felt her face flush, noticing Black Silk was staring at her with a half-smile. She quickly coughed and said in a low voice, āYeah, Iām just that cowardly Zombieā¦ Can you not mock me with your eyes? Iāve never been looked down on by a three-year-old beforeā¦ā
āBy the way, your timing was way too perfectā¦ What exactly happened in that instant?ā Xu Shuhan paused, then asked again.
Now, she was actually less panicked than the others. Black Silk, who was supposed to be guarding outside, suddenly appeared at such a critical moment, which meant Ling Mo must have made arrangementsā¦
āHeheā¦ Not bad, you react pretty fast,ā Black Silk smiled at her.
Xu Shuhan smoothed her Hair: āOf course, Iām not a Host for nothing. My specialty is digging up all the gossip from the live audience on my showā¦ Wait, donāt go!ā
