Chapter 120 – The Slaps Echo Loudly

“Goddammit, I’m going all out!”

In a life-or-death moment, Wei Junyan suddenly burst out with a fierce resolve, leaping directly at Ling Mo.

He had recognized that Ling Mo’s close combat skills were a weak point. For a moment, he pushed his psychic powers to the limit, transforming into a blur as he charged straight at Ling Mo.

However, Ling Mo had long been prepared for this since deciding to pursue and kill Wei Junyan. Throughout the journey, he had been conserving his psychic power as much as possible, and now he was brimming with energy.

The purpose of his psychic tentacles was precisely to torment superhumans like Wei Junyan.

Repeatedly, Wei Junyan’s attacks were thwarted by the influence of the psychic tentacles. The continuous illusions and disruptions made him feel as if he had swallowed a swarm of flies, leaving him extremely uncomfortable!

Every time his attack missed and created a brief opening, Ling Mo would keenly seize the opportunity to counterattack.

What infuriated Wei Junyan to the point of spitting blood was that Ling Mo could have easily finished him off with a knife, but instead, he chose to toy with him like a cat playing with a mouse.

Every time the cold blade flashed, a dull “slap” would sound on Wei Junyan’s face, as Ling Mo used the flat of his knife to slap him!

Ten missed attacks, ten slaps!

The intense anger and humiliation nearly drove Wei Junyan insane!

Meanwhile, the dull thud from Wei Junyan crashing into the door had alerted the three people standing in the hallway: Lin Luanqiu, Tang Xiaoxue, and He Pengpeng.

“What’s going on?” Lin Luanqiu immediately turned her head towards the restroom, a look of suspicion on her face.

The restroom had long been abandoned, with no one using it and no possibility of zombies entering from there. How could there be noise coming from it in the middle of the night?

Tang Xiaoxue and He Pengpeng also seemed puzzled, while Lin Luanqiu frowned and walked towards the restroom.

Gripping the pocket knife tightly in her hand, she moved quietly and slowly. Reaching the restroom door, she grabbed the handle with one hand and pressed her ear against the door to listen carefully.

“It’s not zombies…”

The intermittent sound of metal clashing was clearly not something zombies would make. It sounded more like a fight taking place inside.

A vague sense of unease crept into Lin Luanqiu’s heart. She slowly turned the doorknob, then suddenly kicked the door open!

Inside the restroom, Wei Junyan was on the brink of madness, desperately struggling to hold on. His escape route was completely blocked, and the impending fear and despair of death made his eyes bloodshot and his expression twisted!

I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! Wei Junyan’s inner voice screamed. He frantically tried to tear apart Ling Mo standing before him, but Ling Mo remained calm and composed. Even though they were within arm’s reach, Wei Junyan couldn’t even graze the edge of Ling Mo’s clothes!

They’re both superhumans, so why is there such a huge gap? Why?!

Wei Junyan was unwilling to accept this! But what he didn’t realize was that Ling Mo had repeatedly put himself in danger to safely control his zombie puppets, even changing his sleep habits because of it.

Ling Mo had put in far more effort and faced more dangers than the average superhuman!

Especially after finding Ye Lian, Ling Mo constantly explored new ways to enhance his puppet control ability to improve his strength. He practiced whenever he had the chance.

Moreover, his psychic power had always been under constant training due to the unbroken psychic link between him, Ye Lian, and Xia Na.

In contrast, Wei Junyan, after gaining his abilities, had always been thinking about how to use his superhuman identity to dominate others and live a “good life.” Even while being beaten by Ling Mo, he showed no sign of self-reflection.

At that moment, the restroom door suddenly opened!

It was Lin Luanqiu who opened the door. Though she had anticipated a fight inside, she didn’t expect that the combatants would be her acquaintances.

So, the moment she recognized Wei Junyan and Ling Mo, she was stunned.

Wei Junyan and Ling Mo were also momentarily taken aback!

The first to react was Wei Junyan. In a blur, he appeared right in front of Lin Luanqiu. He couldn’t clearly see her face, but the razor in his hand was already slashing towards her neck.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: kill this person and escape! It was his only chance to get out alive!

However, Lin Luanqiu also reacted in time. She activated her superpower, Bullet Time, and Wei Junyan’s eerily fast movements immediately slowed down in her eyes, becoming almost as slow as an ordinary person’s.

In this slowed-down state, Lin Luanqiu seemingly casually raised her arm and used her pocket knife to block Wei Junyan’s razor!

“Clink!”

A crisp sound rang out, and Wei Junyan’s pupils contracted sharply.

Failing to kill Lin Luanqiu with one strike meant he was blocked!

In that split second, Ling Mo’s short knife had already pierced through his back, the blood-dripping blade tip emerging from his chest.

“Grrr…” Wei Junyan’s eyes widened in despair as he stared at Lin Luanqiu in front of him.

When Lin Luanqiu lifted her hat brim with her hand, revealing her delicate face, a flash of fear crossed Wei Junyan’s eyes.

But he could no longer speak. As Ling Mo slowly withdrew the short knife, the life quickly drained from Wei Junyan’s body. He collapsed like a pile of mud between Lin Luanqiu and Ling Mo.

As Wei Junyan fell to the ground, Ling Mo turned his gaze to Lin Luanqiu standing at the doorway.

Seeing Lin Luanqiu clearly, Ling Mo froze for a moment. “Huh, what are you doing here?”

“And what are you doing here… and Wei Junyan… he…”

Lin Luanqiu was in shock, the scene unfolding before her was too sudden.

Although she had just blocked Wei Junyan’s attack, she still hadn’t fully come to her senses.

How did Ling Mo end up here? Why was Wei Junyan here? How did the two of them end up fighting?

A torrent of questions swirled in Lin Luanqiu’s mind, making it feel like a tangled mess. Her expression as she looked at Ling Mo was filled with complexity.

At this moment, Tang Xiaoxue and He Pengpeng also hurried over. Seeing Ling Mo, they were immediately dumbfounded.

“Ling-Ge?”

“Huh, you guys are here too…” Ling Mo was momentarily stunned, then looked at Lin Luanqiu with a meaningful gaze.

His presence here was purely coincidental, but Lin Luanqiu being here with Tang Xiaoxue and He Pengpeng was clearly premeditated.

Piecing things together, Ling Mo quickly realized that back at the school hospital, Lin Luanqiu probably hadn’t gone far. She had created the illusion of having left, and after he departed, she returned and found Tang Xiaoxue and He Pengpeng.

Her goal was likely to use Tang Xiaoxue and He Pengpeng’s survivor team to quietly get close to Wei Junyan.

However, her reasons for doing this were still unclear…

Lin Luanqiu was also feeling very conflicted. She had painstakingly infiltrated this place, fully prepared to assassinate Wei Junyan, only to encounter him under these circumstances and then see him killed by Ling Mo the next second.

The saying “plans can never keep up with changes” seemed to perfectly describe the current situation.

The group stood there, exchanging looks, taking a while to process everything. Lin Luanqiu, acting decisively, pulled Tang Xiaoxue and He Pengpeng into the restroom and then shut the door behind them.

Wei Junyan’s sudden death had disrupted her plans, and until she could sort out her thoughts, she couldn’t let anyone else discover Wei Junyan’s body.
