“A lie?” Black Silk asked in so surprise, “Then why did you still kill him?”
“This man’s willpower was very strong.” Ling Mo searched the corpse, but apart from two packs of rations, he found nothing else, let alone anything that could prove his identity… He then turned to the other corpse, but similarly, there was nothing useful on it either. Ling Mo only took the grenade, then pried open the corpse’s hand and examined it for a while.
“All I can tell is that he used a gun…”
Ling Mo turned his head to look inside the room. After the guy called Mantis died, the darkness in the room also began to gradually fade away.
“There’s no point in asking further. Even if I use my superpower, his resistance will be so strong that I won’t get any information.” Ling Mo continued.
“But why? He knew you weren’t joking.” Black Silk had already learned the general course of events from Ling Mo and couldn’t help but ask in confusion.
Ling Mo gave the corpse one last look. In Mantis’s open eyes, there was still a lingering desire for life. He was silent for two seconds, then said, “Because he has a reason he can’t say.”
“Now it seems, the people who want to kill are really scheming. The ones they send are all able to die without hesitation, and each has a reason that makes them ruthless. Such opponents are indeed troubleso. Other than that, their strengths are quite uneven.” Ling Mo recalled in his heart as he spoke, “This superhuman called Mantis was quite strong. But the guy who acted as a human bomb was just an ordinary person.”
Ling Mo let out a aningful hum, then asked, “Did you find Mu Chen and the others?”
“Found them,” Black Silk replied, “but… they all seem pretty tired.”
“Don’t judge humans by zombie standards.” Ling Mo rolled his eyes, defending his human companions.
At this mont, the door finally began to slowly appear. Ling Mo grabbed Ye Lian’s hand and walked toward the exit.
However, just as he was about to open the door, his steps suddenly halted.
“Sothing’s wrong!”
Ling Mo abruptly looked up, quickly recalling in his mind what Mantis had said at the beginning…
“He said… his superpower could make him look like this… but he never said he could control those corpses!”
Ling Mo imdiately switched perspectives in his mind, shouting inwardly, “Be careful! There’s a second person!”
“Where… where is that person!”
Several different scenes flashed rapidly through Ling Mo’s mind. At the sa ti, a signal suddenly ca through his sensing.
“Found!”
At the sa ti, a figure appeared in one of the scenes as Ling Mo switched perspectives.
This was Xia Na’s perspective… and the figure that appeared was Mu Chen, who was walking out from the other end of the corridor.
“This is it!”
Ling Mo stared intently at the corridor ahead through Xia Na’s eyes… his sensing also ca from here. But he couldn’t see that person…
“At a ti like this, with this person acting alone, what would he do?”
Ling Mo pushed open the door, pulling Ye Lian as they started running forward.
This was just one of the corridors on the second floor of the hotel, and aside from a few lounges, there were only a few eting rooms and a large banquet hall left.
But these rooms… should have all been used by Mantis to separate them!
Where had this second person been hiding all along?
“Xia Na, be careful!” As soon as Ling Mo gave the warning, Mu Chen, who was getting closer to Xia Na, waved at her.
Everything seed normal… but sothing had to be wrong!
So… what was it?!
In the corridor, Xia Na was still looking around, watching out for the possible danger Ling Mo had ntioned.
“Are you okay over there?” Mu Chen asked.
“Yeah.” Xia Na gave a concise answer, then said, “I’ll check here, you go et up with the others.”
“Check what? Let help you.” Mu Chen had already walked up to Xia Na’s side.
The hand holding his knife suddenly tightened…
And at that mont, Ling Mo suddenly sensed a surge of energy from him.
“Watch out!” Ling Mo shouted urgently.
“Clang!” Without turning her head, Xia Na’s spiritual body instantly appeared, slashing at Mu Chen with one stroke.
Although Mu Chen’s eyes went blank for a mont, his hand with the knife didn’t pause at all.
But at this point, Xia Na had already blocked the knife with her scythe in a reverse grip…
What was shocking was that after the knife was blocked, he actually slid it upward along the scythe, still aiming to strike Xia Na. But this move would cause Xia Na’s scythe to kill him at the sa ti.
“Whoosh!”
A streak of Red Glimr flashed down from above, landing directly on Mu Chen’s head. Mu Chen imdiately looked like he was wearing a red jellyfish hat, except the result was his eyes rolled back and he completely fainted. Even so, his arm still twitched, but with his body collapsing, he could no longer attack Xia Na.
But right after, he suddenly reversed his grip and stabbed himself with the knife.
“Clang!”
Xia Na reacted quickly, flicking the knife away with her scythe, then stepped on Mu Chen’s sleeve.
His arm was still twitching nonstop, which shocked Xia Na even more.
It was obvious that this arm was out of control…
“Whew! Are you okay!”
At this mont, Ling Mo and Ye Lian also rushed over at full speed. After arriving, Ling Mo glanced around and asked.
“I’m fine, but I can’t say the sa for him.” Xia Na looked down at Mu Chen and said.
“But where did this thing co from?” Xia Na pointed at the master ball on top of Mu Chen’s head.
Ling Mo glanced at the master ball. With a “plop,” it left Mu Chen’s head, then with a “whoosh,” it slipped back into the ceiling and disappeared instantly.
“I had it patrolling outside…”
“Good thing it was here, otherwise I might really have let him get hurt.” Xia Na shrugged and said, “Ling-Ge, take a look at his arm.”
As she spoke, she flicked her scythe, pulling open Mu Chen’s sleeve.
What shocked Ling Mo and Xia Na was that there was a lump of “at” on Mu Chen’s arm…
This lump of “at” was burrowing into Mu Chen’s flesh like a leech, wriggling inside nonstop.
Just the length Ling Mo and Xia Na could see was about ten centiters…
The sight was truly horrifying, especially thinking about how Mu Chen had just acted completely unaware…
It really was impossible to guard against!
“Right!” Ling Mo imdiately turned his head to look, “Which room did Mu Chen co out of!”
