Chapter 1179: Hollow Man
At this moment, Liu Yang also keenly sensed something was off⌠Yet before he could react, Ling Mo suddenly clenched his fist.
With this silent motion, Liu Yang immediately felt a dense muffled sound ringing in his earsâŚ
âHmm? Why is there a sound?â
He froze for a moment⌠He wasnât hurt, nothing seemed abnormal, he was still standing in place, and a few meters away, Ling Mo was standing with a clenched fist, looking at him with a deathly pale face.
âStrange, itâs still ringingâŚâ
Liu Yang felt as if heâd been thrown into a blender⌠The commotion seemed to come from every part of his body. And this sound was clearer than any other noiseâŚ
âAh⌠I think⌠Iâve been attackedâŚâ Liu Yang realized⌠But as he fell, all he could think about was another questionâŚ
Why?
âŚ
âThud!â
As Liu Yang collapsed directly to the ground, Ling Moâs body also swayed, and he quickly reached out to support himself against the wall.
He let out a long breath, his gaze complex as he looked at the fallen Liu Yang.
âRight⌠the master ballâŚâ Ling Mo hurriedly took out the master ball.
Strictly speaking, this little guy hadnât fully absorbed the ânutrientsâ provided by the previous Progenitor. When Ling Mo released it this time, it hadnât completely finished evolving. So after draining the Niepan captain, it once again fell into a half-asleep state.
Even now, as Ling Mo held it in his hand, it only trembled slightly, its body contracting and expanding, and with a âplop,â it burped. Several psychic light points immediately floated outâŚ
âIâve long been prepared for this kind of situationâŚâ Ling Mo panted, and his five fingers squeezed the master ball tighterâŚ
Puff, puff, puffâŚ
A surge of psychic energy began to pour outâŚ
Half a minute later, when Ling Mo put the master ball away again, his complexion had improved a lot. His previously dull eyes now shone brightly again.
âHey.â Only then did Ling Mo walk over and squat down in front of Liu Yang.
After a brief silence, Liu Yang slowly turned his head to the side.
Seeing his current appearance, Ling Mo, who was about to speak, was instantly stunned.
âYou lookâŚâ
In less than a minute, Liu Yang⌠or rather, this shell that had been transformed into a Level 1 Puppet, looked completely different from the moment he fell. ášďźĄđ˝oÍβÄS
Liu Yang had originally been a Youth, but now, as he âstaredâ at Ling Mo with a pair of utterly ashen eyes, his skin was covered in wrinkles. The whole person looked as if heâd instantly aged forty or fifty yearsâŚ
Not only that, when he opened his mouth, several loose teeth fell outâŚ
This scene⌠was truly chillingâŚ
âYou seem⌠quite surprisedâŚâ Liu Yang said with great effort.
âA bit,â Ling Mo paused, then replied honestly.
âThis isnât⌠a complete mutationâŚâ Liu Yang said.
Ling Mo nodded⌠Heâd vaguely guessed as much.
The real mutation was actually in the Host Body inside, and the virus it carried was also secreted from the Host Body. As it replaced the âshellâsâ brain, the viruses in its body would quickly erode every part of the human body. It could start as a dormant seed, but once it âawakened,â in a short time, this human body could become an extremely powerful Monster.
Efficient, fast, a truly superb killing tool.
But the drawbacks were deadly⌠like decay⌠like⌠aging and atrophy.
âYou should⌠be able to empathize with this feeling, right?â Ling Mo suddenly asked.
Liu Yang grinned strangely, then twisted his neck with a click and asked, âHow did you⌠do it? In the end⌠you clearly⌠seemed to do nothingâŚâ
âThatâs just what you felt.â Ling Mo paused, then said calmly, âThe answer is simple, I just used my best attack method.â
âPsychic attack?â Liu Yang was stunned again, âImpossibleâŚâ
âThereâs nothing impossible about it,â Ling Mo interrupted him, saying, âYou thought this Puppet could make my ability useless, but in fact, as long as itâs still a Puppet under your command⌠no, as long as itâs a living creature that moves, there must be psychic power, right?â
âButâŚâ
âYes, and you just donât have it⌠But thatâs against common sense. So hereâs the question: where did you hide your psychic light cluster?â Ling Mo continued, âAt first I couldnât figure it out⌠But then I realized, the answer had been right in front of me all along⌠Itâs not that I couldnât find it, but because itâs everywhere. Your psychic power is spread throughout your whole body, isnât it?â
Liu Yang didnât speak⌠But his body clearly twitched again.
âSo my psychic attack was useless⌠Because even if I hit one part and drained some of your psychic power, compared to your whole self, it wasnât a significant injury. Thatâs why you said⌠with my current self, I couldnât beat youâŚâ
âIn theory, I could keep attacking, draining a bit each time, and eventually exhaust your psychic power completely. But in the state I was just in, how could I possibly hold out that long? I might not even notice before you caught me.â
âBut if I attack your whole body at once like this, you canât withstand it⌠After all, the psychic power in your body is still far weaker than mineâŚâ
At this point, Ling Mo suddenly smiled slightly, his tone relaxing: âYou canât catch me.â
âThat⌠canât be certain,â Liu Yang replied. He was aging even more rapidly, and a faint stench of decay began to emanate from his bodyâŚ
âWhy donât you come yourself?â Ling Mo finally threw out an important question.
âIâŚâ Liu Yang opened his mouth, but didnât answer.
But Ling Mo didnât look disappointed, and quickly asked again, âHow many more Puppets are here?â
âWhy donât you⌠go see for yourselfâŚâ Liu Yang said.
Then, his face suddenly began to rotâŚ
And just before his mouth disappeared, he suddenly gave Ling Mo a meaningful smile and said, âSee you soonâŚâ
ââŚI would have anyway, even if you didnât say so,â Ling Mo replied.
GuluâŚ
Liu Yangâs head suddenly rolled off, and as Ling Mo quickly stood up, he found that inside the shrunken, hollow corpse, not a single drop of blood had flowed outâŚ
