Chapter 1117: Delicious Decoy

“I agree with Mad Xuan…” Black Silk directly ignored Xu Shuhan’s whispered words to it, and instead said to everyone, “Actually, the current situation might not be that Ling Mo has disappeared… Maybe, it’s exactly the opposite…”

Although Black Silk looked like just a tiny thing, when it spoke these words in its extremely childish voice, everyone was stunned for a moment. Even Xu Shuhan stopped her questioning and began to ponder carefully… She vaguely felt that Black Silk seemed to be hinting at something… But from Black Silk’s little face, she couldn’t see any clues…

“In other words, maybe in the captain’s eyes, the ones who disappeared are us?” Mu Chen speculated with a frown.

“Think about it, how did Skinny Monkey and Gu Shuangshuang disappear one after the other?” Black Silk reminded.

Everyone exchanged glances, and immediately began to understand… The opponent didn’t seem to be good at creating long-lasting Illusions, but could use a momentary Illusion to “shield” someone. And once successful, both sides would immediately become like headless flies, at the mercy of the opponent…

“That’s right, just like now, I feel like he can see us… But unfortunately, we can’t see each other, nor can we communicate, so everything we do might end up backfiring… But if we just sit around, we’ll unknowingly drag them down too, won’t we?” Black Silk continued.

Hearing this, Xu Shuhan’s heart suddenly trembled: “That’s it! Ling Mo said something similar… He said he could feel something watching him… Why did Black Silk say this? Could it be… Ah! It’s because those eyes are also watching us?!”

Ling Mo’s sudden disappearance, Black Silk’s hints, and Yuwen Xuan’s speculation… This series of clues finally made Xu Shuhan understand the problem… What Black Silk said wasn’t meant for them to hear…

Xu Shuhan’s heart was pounding. She nervously observed the reactions of the others, wanting to know if they had also understood. But unfortunately, they all wore almost the same expression… Yuwen Xuan still had his arms crossed, Mu Chen was still frowning, Zhang Xincheng looked calm, but there was more sweat on his forehead…

“After all that… what should we do now?” In the silence, Ye Kai put down the hand rubbing his nose and asked in a muffled voice.

Xu Shuhan secretly rolled her eyes: “Alright. This idiot didn’t get it…”

“What to do… Of course we go in.” Black Silk replied smoothly.

“But we can’t see the captain, right? Isn’t the opponent doing this to make us act cautiously?” Ye Kai asked again.

“That’s why, as long as our goal is the same… rescue Gu Shuangshuang and Skinny Monkey, and kill that Zombie! I can feel Ling Mo watching us, so wherever I say to attack, you just attack, that way we won’t accidentally hurt him.” Black Silk said confidently.

“Uh… can you really feel it?”

“I can!”

“Isn’t it just intuition…”

“…Don’t worry, he’ll understand…”

“Hey!”

…

“Black Silk.”

Xu Shuhan guessed right. Two minutes ago, Ling Mo had used the psychic link to contact Black Silk…

The reason he didn’t choose Ye Lian and the others, who were closer, was because they were already under the surveillance of that Progenitor Zombie…

So Ling Mo’s first reaction was to find a helper who was currently outside the Progenitor Zombie’s alert range… The opponent’s biggest weakness was a lack of manpower, but for Ling Mo, this was no problem at all… ȐΑ𐌽O͍₿Ɛȿ

Ling Mo also realized that the opponent wanted to separate him alone, which was a huge workload… And the more energy the opponent wasted on this, the more likely they were to reveal a flaw…

“Hmm? How’s it going? I’m heading toward the passage with Shiran right now…” Black Silk replied.

“Come straight to us, listen, I have a plan…”

Almost as Ling Mo finished explaining, the rapidly approaching Black Silk had already spotted Mu Chen and the others from afar. And almost at the same moment, Ling Mo, who was charging ahead, suddenly disappeared the instant he turned his head…

But Black Silk didn’t show the slightest sign of surprise. On the contrary, it even smiled slightly and murmured softly, “Got it, and you know, I’ve always liked these kinds of grown-up games the most…”

Inside the Dormitory Building.

Here, at this moment, it was as if there were three layers of worlds.

The first layer was where Ling Mo’s spiritual body was located…

In another layer, Ling Mo and Xia Na’s group were carefully making their way up the stairs…

And finally, the third layer: when Black Silk and the others entered the Dormitory Building, what they saw was still a silent, eerie, deserted area…

“I didn’t expect him to use this kind of shielding method… But thinking about it, when I found his previous old home, the psychic shielding there was also very strong… Now that he’s evolved to the point of directly shielding a person’s existence, it’s not that surprising…” Ling Mo thought to himself.

But…

“Now that my main body can stay with Xia Na and the others, it proves that separating Xiao Hei was the right move. At least in his psychic sensing, he’s treating Xiao Hei as me… And now he’s shielded all other living beings, which means the next living being I can sense-if it’s not him, then it must be Skinny Monkey… The former means he’s getting impatient, the latter is a cautious trap…”

And whichever it is…

“Is it coming…”

Somewhere in the Dormitory Building, a voice suddenly rang out.

“Such strong psychic power… Among all the humans and Zombies I’ve encountered, this should be the most perfect, right? Especially after Devouring my creation, he looks even more worth tasting…” The voice said with anticipation.

A moment later, another woman’s voice sounded in the darkness: “You’re disgusting.”

“Disgusting? Because the object I described is human? If I were talking about roast chicken wings or something, you’d agree with me. But don’t forget, you’re my accomplice too. And unlike you, I’m just following my nature, but you’re doing it for selfish desires… But that’s exactly why we hit it off so well. I bet even that Spider Man doesn’t know that you actually…”

“Shut up!”

“What’s wrong? Did I hit a sore spot? Sigh, you really are a hypocrite…”

“Cut the crap… Why haven’t you made a move yet? You’ve already finished all the preparations, so why are you still waiting? You’ve seen it too, this group isn’t easy to deal with. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even want to take this risk. We should have left as soon as they appeared!”

“No, no, I absolutely won’t give up… He’s too important! Besides, he feels very familiar to me…”

“You’ve met him?” the woman’s voice suddenly asked in surprise.

“No… But there’s a very familiar aura coming from him… I can feel it, if it’s his psychic power, I’ll definitely be able to Absorb it completely. Such a good opportunity, if I miss it, there won’t be another. Don’t you want to get rid of your current state? If you do, you have to cooperate with me. Don’t worry, I’ll wait for the safest moment… Tell me, when does prey let its guard down? It’s when they finally get the decoy and are enjoying it… And the more delicious the decoy tastes, the deeper they’ll fall…”

After finishing, the voice chuckled again.

“Then… we’ll do as you say…” The woman’s voice fell silent for a while, then said…

Ling Mo moved forward cautiously. Just then, a strange “clack clack” sound suddenly came from above the corridor. He immediately stopped, and after a moment, slowly floated upward, merging directly into the Ceiling.

When he poked his head out from the floor, what appeared before his eyes was Skinny Monkey’s figure…

But as soon as he saw Skinny Monkey’s condition, a surge of anger instantly welled up in Ling Mo’s heart.

Skinny Monkey was wrapped in Spider Silk into a Cocoon, hanging from the Ceiling. His whole body was also crawling with Spiders, but unlike before, his head was exposed.

Skinny Monkey looked like he had already fainted, but even so, his body was still twitching uncontrollably.

It was obvious that he must have been scared unconscious in extreme terror, so even in a coma, he still felt endless panic…

When Ling Mo poked his head out, several fist-sized Spiders were crawling on Skinny Monkey’s face. Even though he couldn’t clearly see what the Spiders were doing, Ling Mo still keenly sensed a chill down his spine. He almost reflexively leaped up, flinging out his Tentacle and sweeping those Spiders away.

The unconscious Skinny Monkey immediately groaned, and only then did Ling Mo realize that those Spiders really had been about to eat him… His face was covered in a lot of mucus, and as soon as the mucus touched his skin, it left one pit after another. This made Skinny Monkey’s already unattractive face look even more hideous.

Ling Mo carefully checked and, after confirming that Skinny Monkey wasn’t in mortal danger, silently lowered him down. During this time, Skinny Monkey kept moaning in pain, his facial muscles twitching nonstop. Other than dealing with all the Spiders around, Ling Mo didn’t say a single word…

Just as he put Skinny Monkey down, an extremely cold feeling suddenly swept over him from behind, and at the same time, a powerful sense of oppression appeared…

“If you’d been even a little bit slower, your companion would have died right in front of you. As a human, your psychic reaction speed really satisfies me…”
