Chapter 1114: The Disappeared Third Person
Behind the door was a small suite, but strangely, the cries for help vanished the very moment Ling Mo slipped inside. The sudden silence made the atmosphere in the room turn a bit eerie, and Ling Moās sense of alertness instantly shot to its peak.
He carefully suppressed his own psychic activity, even shrinking his ābodyā a little, before cautiously observing the roomās environment and situation.
There were two interior doors in this suite. With the living room empty, Gu Shuangshuang must be behind one of those doors. And for Ling Mo at this moment, entering either door would be easy; in fact, rescuing Gu Shuangshuang directly wasnāt impossible either. But for some reason, facing such a smooth situation, Ling Mo felt a vague sense of unease.
First, the timing of Gu Shuangshuangās cries was just too coincidentalā¦ Second, was that Progenitor Zombie really so confident that heād let his opponent snatch away the bargaining chip in his hand so easily? No, only a truly common zombie would be so willful and direct, and judging by the Progenitor Zombieās behavior so far, he wouldnāt do such a thing. Even if he was using Gu Shuangshuang as a decoy, this trapping scheme was just too simple and crudeā¦ Ling Mo suspected more that the other side simply wanted to lure him over, and that the real problem lay either with Gu Shuangshuang herself or somewhere in this suite.
Just like outside, the suite was filled with Spiderwebs, and there were even quite a few Spider Eggs hanging around. Occasionally, you could spot the shadow of a Spider in the webs, but upon closer inspection, youād find they were all dead. Yet the damp mucus on the floor silently indicated that Spiders hadnāt vanished from here. Maybe in some corners invisible to humans, a large number of Spiders were still sensing their presenceā¦
Ling Mo also found a lot of psychic light points here, but aside from that, he found nothing elseā¦
āThis is way too abnormalā¦ Did I overestimate that Zombieās behavior, making it too human-like? Maybe heās someone who relies on brains but still retains the principles of a Zombie?ā Ling Mo was worried about Gu Shuangshuang; with no sign of anything unusual, he could only choose to check on her condition. But he had to admit, as he slowly approached the door, he was actually a bit nervousā¦ Gu Shuangshuang. Was she still aliveā¦
Although, based on his deductions, Gu Shuangshuang and the others should be safe for now, in this world, what you fear most is the endless stream of unexpected eventsā¦ So-called deductions are just a synthesis of various factors to calculate the most likely outcome, but what if what he saw next happened to fall outside that āgreatest possibilityā?
This wasnāt the first time Ling Mo had such thoughtsā¦ For someone always thinking about survival, these thoughts were like a sword hanging overhead-though it hadnāt fallen yet, its terror lay in the fact that it could drop at any moment. Even for other Survivors, this was the main reason they felt so unsafe.
Maybe it was because he was now fully merged with his spiritual body, but Ling Mo felt that all those issues he usually ignored were now scrambling to the forefront of his mind.
A mental ability Progenitor Zombieā¦ In this remote granary, they actually ran into such a troublesome opponentā¦
āPhewā¦ So the switch isnāt just to keep myself from turning into a muttering lunatic? If Iām always worrying about so much, maintaining this level of psychic pressure, I wonāt last until Ye Lian and the others fully regain themselves and we can live a normal life together, right? But speaking of normal life, thatās a bit too extravagantā¦ Iāve only dreamed about it, never thought Iād actually remember it now. This must be the Subconscious at work, huh?āā¦
Ling Mo took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and slowly approached one of the doors. Before entering, he didnāt use his usual habit of Sensing with psychic power. The opponent was a mental ability user; all his abilities might be related to psychic power, and so were the traps he set. So the deeper he went, the more he had to conserve his own energy and avoid falling into the otherās designs. His greatest advantage right now was that the opponent didnāt know it wasnāt his real body coming, and he could use this freely moving psychic puppet to scout out all the situations in advance, maybe even turn the tables on that Zombie.
āIf it werenāt for Ye Lian and the others, this plan wouldnāt have worked. The other side is holding back, not showing up, all because heās wary of them. Thatās exactly why I have a loophole to exploitā¦ But if Iām exposed, who knows if heāll just fly into a rage and do something unpredictableā¦ Wait, Iām overthinking again! I just canāt stop!ā
Ling Mo shook his head once again, then decisively slipped through the door. As soon as he entered, his eyes landed on a figure curled up in the corner. What was terrifying was that she was completely wrapped in Spider Silk, and both her body and the surrounding area were crawling with Spiders. At this moment, aside from a vague human shape, it was impossible to see what she actually looked like.
āGu Shuangshuang?!ā
Ling Mo wanted to shout, but except for the Zombie Puppets with whom he had established a psychic link, rashly initiating psychic communication with others was a bit like forcing oneās way inā¦ After all, to put it bluntly, this kind of act was essentially an invasive psychic shock-by forcibly entering the other personās psychic light cluster, then projecting-no, instilling-his own thoughts, and reversely Reading the thoughts the other party wanted to convey, thus achieving communication. If the target was an ordinary person and their mental state was poor, then such communication would definitely not be a pleasant experience. In fact, this was exactly why Ling Mo didnāt like Black Silk suddenly popping up in his mindā¦ It always felt like being forced, okay!
āForget it, I canāt worry about that nowā¦ Maybe she wonāt mindā¦ Hmm, although thatās unlikely, at times like this I can only think that wayā¦ā Ling Mo circled around the human-shaped cocoon, confirming that she was just scared sillyā¦ Her psychic activity was still present, just not very strongā¦ And judging by the strength of her psychic light cluster, she really was Gu Shuangshuangā¦
āā¦Come to think of it, Iāve never casually extended my Tentacle toward my own female subordinateā¦ Good thing no third party saw this. But did that Progenitor really just leave her here? Maybe Iām overthinking it? Waitā¦ thatās not necessarily true! Thinking carefully, if I personally came here and saw Gu Shuangshuang like this, what would I do?ā Ling Mo quickly came to a conclusionā¦ If his main body were here, the first thing heād do would probably be to rescue Gu Shuangshuang. Not just observe her situation at such close range like now.
This wasnāt because Ling Mo was particularly calm right now, but because of the characteristics of these Spidersā¦ Just from the vibration of the Spider Silk, they could tell someone had arrived, so from the moment Ling Mo entered, they wouldnāt give him any chance to observeā¦
āThat Progenitor Zombie canāt possibly be pinning all its hopes on these Spiders, so thereās something wrong hereā¦ā Ling Mo gave Gu Shuangshuang a deep look, then cautiously extended a Tentacle.
As the Tentacle entered the psychic light cluster, Ling Mo immediately Sensed a layer of resistanceā¦ But he didnāt force his way in; the resistance itself showed that Gu Shuangshuang was still instinctively protecting herselfā¦ ā±¤Ć š½ÅįĪSĢ
āHey, wake up, can you hear me?ā Ling Mo repeated several times before finally āhearingā a panicked voice.
āWho are you!ā
āDonāt be afraid, itās me, Ling Mo. You canāt see me right now, but Iām here to save youā¦ā Ling Mo quickly said.
āCaptainā¦ā Gu Shuangshuangās body visibly trembled, but as soon as she moved, the Spiders immediately started crawling, scaring her into screaming in her mind, āAh! Help! Captain, save me, I can feel them, their legs are crawling all over my skinā¦ And this Spider Silkā¦ Ahhh!ā
āGu Shuangshuang, calm down and listen to meā¦ Whereās Skinny Monkey? Do you know where he is?ā Ling Mo soothed her while asking. The Spiders were still crawling outside, and the Spider Silk formed a barrier. Before figuring out the situation, Ling Mo couldnāt rashly alarm the Spiders, to avoid causing any irreparable consequencesā¦
Gu Shuangshuang trembled for a while longer before she managed to steady herself in her fear, stammering, āI donāt know eitherā¦ Iā¦ I was trying to catch up with themā¦ But halfway there, I suddenly saw Skinny Monkeyā¦ He looked really strange, just standing there motionlessā¦ I was scared to death, called out to him but got no response, so I went over to try and pull him away with me. But as soon as I got close, someone knocked me out from behindā¦ā
Ling Mo pondered for a moment, then speculated, āHe was probably attacked by psychic powerā¦ā
āWhen I woke up, I was already here, and there were Spiders everywhere, weaving webs on meā¦ I started screaming, but in no time I was completely wrapped upā¦ Oh, rightā¦ā Gu Shuangshuang suddenly asked nervously, āCaptain, how come I didnāt hear anything when you came inā¦ā
