Ling Mo was at a loss for words. No matter how he looked at it, the scene appeared utterly bizarreâ¦
âHehe, not going to hit me, right? I knew it, itâs just a Phantom. Based on my understanding, itâs impossible for identical people to appear; Yu Shiran doesnât have a twin sister,â the Zombie Loli said with a cold smile.
âSo it was Black Silkâ¦â Ling Mo understood.
But since he knew it was a Phantom, why was he talking so eagerly at the wallâ¦
Despite being speechless, Ling Mo pulled Mu Chen back to his side and sent the Little Zombie Puppet over, intending to bring Yu Shiran back.
Dealing with Yu Shiran wasnât easy, especially now that control had switched to Black Silk.
A karate chop from the Little Zombie Puppet would most likely ruin its hand but never knock Yu Shiran out.
Grabbing the silver thread⦠such a move would definitely lead to getting piercedâ¦
Feeling frustrated, Ling Mo scratched his head, ignoring Black Silk who was mumbling at the wall, and decided to find the main culprit first.
It was already impressive that Black Silk could see through the hallucination, and there was nothing too shameful about talking to a wallâ¦
âHmm⦠not hitting me confirms that itâs really a Phantom, not changed by Ling Moâ¦â Black Silk said thoughtfully.
This time Ling Mo was genuinely shocked. So she was testingâ¦
Being able to think that the Phantom might be a companion was also quite impressiveâ¦
âBut she actually called me by my name!â Ling Mo suddenly got angry. Such an impertinent pet!
While searching for that superhuman, Ling Mo gradually calmed down from his previous tension.
This superpower was indeed impressive, but in hindsight, it lacked any âvitality.â
It was like creating an Illusion here, but without anyone hosting it.
The superhuman didnât use any follow-up moves on the ambushed targets; instead, they let them wander insideâ¦
Although the simultaneous appearance of Mu Chen and Yu Shiran initially made Ling Mo feel that someone was playing tricks, upon further reflection, who would do such a thing? There was a Zombie standing right next to them unaffected by the Illusionâ¦
Thinking again, Yu Shiran and the Little Zombie Puppet were clearly Zombies; wouldnât the superhuman react to that?
âI think I understand what kind of human weâre dealing with. That idiot ended up like that for a reason, after all⦠but I am not him. To deal with prey, one must first understand them. This basic human knowledge is something he couldnât even rememberâ¦â
âThe only regret is not being able to understand all their kind at once⦠this human is really cautious. Anyway, the goal of using this zombie to trap you in the mall has been achieved.â
The figure shook its head with some regret and then laughed, âDelaying until now, just in time for you to experience Cuihu Cityâs special treat, hahahaâ¦â
These words sounded quite human, but were promptly ruined by a strange laugh.
âGood things must be savored slowly⦠Anyway, now that youâre here, you wonât be leaving. This human might not be very clever, but his brain is very nutritiousâ¦â
At this point, the figure licked its lips, making a slurping sound.
âEnjoy yourselves; this place will cultivate you into the most delicious foodâ¦â
But at this point, the figure seemed somewhat nervous.
âHopefully, that truly delicious one gets severely injuredâ¦â
After glancing towards the mall, the figure quickly disappeared from sight.
â¦
âStrangeâ¦â
It took Ling Mo a moment to snap out of his stupor, but hearing Black Silk still muttering brought him back to his senses.
The hallucination was still ongoing!
No matter how shocked he was, he had to figure things out.
If this zombie was the cause, it was even more terrifying than the superhuman.
If he didnât get to the bottom of this now, it would be troublesome if it happened again in the future.
After thoroughly searching the other cubicles, Ling Mo confirmed the only present fourth party was indeed this zombie.
Since Yu Shiran was still in the hallucination, it meant there was something on this zombie causing the hallucination.
It could affect the five senses, and even deprive people of their sense of direction and judgment, but not affect those without self-awarenessâ¦
âWhat exactly is itâ¦â
The Little Zombie Puppet searched the corpse for a while, even examining the wound carefully.
The wound had already started to heal, leaving almost nothing but a white scar, which was actually quite unremarkable.
âWait a minute⦠How did he get injured? And with such a small wound, how could there be so much bloodâ¦â
Ling Mo directed the Little Zombie Puppetâs attention to the zombieâs clothes. Even though they were already stained with a lot of blood, it was still possible to differentiate the fresh stainsâ¦
It was clearly blood, but it didnât have the distinct metallic smell. Instead, it had a strange odor mixed in⦠Although the entire body already had a peculiar smellâ¦
A typical zombie wouldnât notice this subtle difference.
And a regular human wouldnât be able to detect it at all.
Only by controlling the Little Zombie Puppet could Ling Mo notice both aspects.
âWhere exactly did all this blood come from?â
Ling Mo controlled the Little Zombie Puppet to conduct another thorough inspection and finally noticed a detail.
It seemed like there was a bit of blood on the zombieâs mouthâ¦
Blood on a zombieâs mouth was normal, but at this point, no detail could be overlooked.
However, as soon as the Little Zombie Puppet pried open the zombieâs lips, a jet of blood surged out.
The Little Zombie Puppet quickly dodged, and the blood splattered onto the ground.
âHow does it have a post-mortem blood spray attackâ¦â Ling Mo felt a wave of disgust.
But after a quick glance at the blood, Ling Mo paused.
He immediately controlled the Little Zombie Puppet to move closer and squatted down to take a closer look.
The color⦠it was quite diluted!
No wonder the smell was odd; it was clearly a mixture of blood and some other liquidâ¦
âDetermining if this is the cause should be quite easyâ¦â
Ling Mo had the Little Zombie Puppet tear off a piece of the zombieâs clothing corner and dab it into the liquid.
Then she returned to the corpse and punched its stomach.
Its mouth opened again, and another jet of diluted blood sprayed out.
Ling Moâs attention shifted back to the wound on the zombieâs body, where the blood looked normalâ¦
âSo, the wound was deliberately inflicted as a cover-up?â
The corpseâs joints were still flexible, indicating it hadnât been dead for long.
But this sort of kamikaze attack was something Ling Mo had never seen before.
Zombies naturally hunt humans, but they donât typically engage in mutual destructionâ¦
âLetâs check again!â
âBang!â
Another punch.
After a few more punches, no more liquid sprayed from the zombieâs mouth.
âJust as I thought, it was something hidden in the mouth!â
Ling Mo instantly understood: This zombie was a one-time throwable bomb!
The real bomber was someone else pulling the strings!
