Chapter 503 – Entangled in Her Own Web

Black Cat, who didn’t appear particularly remarkable on the outside, was actually a very restless woman.

Although she had led a relatively stable life after joining the F Team, she was not content.

Compared to the other two major forces, they were just slightly better off than ordinary people.

But with her abilities, if she rashly joined Falcon or the Air Force Corps, she might not receive much attention.

Those two major forces mainly relied on weapons and the army, while superhumans were a special force, not the main strength.

So, rather than being an ordinary superhuman in those forces, she might as well find a way to become a key figure within the F Team.

Black Cat had always been trying to win over others, especially men…

But… as long as Lucy was around, she couldn’t become the center of attention.

What was so good about that woman? Besides being a bit good-looking, she was practically useless!

Always with that cold, icy expression, carrying a machine gun like a thug, giving everyone a “stay away from me” attitude, yet surprisingly, many people were attracted to it!

Black Cat didn’t dislike those who saw Lucy as “the most beautiful woman in the team,” but she hated Lucy.

Even Lucy’s initiative to scout the route and search for missing comrades this time was seen by her as a showy act.

Afraid that others wouldn’t know how righteous you are?! Hypocritical woman…

So when Zhen Zhiyuan approached her, the two hit it off immediately.

Whether it was to satisfy her own desires, seek a better life, or get rid of the disgusting Lucy, this operation was a great opportunity for her…

A superhuman with mental abilities falling into a “Domain” was like having their fangs removed; how much more could they struggle?

But reality hit Black Cat hard. Not only was this man still struggling, but he was also using extremely insidious and cunning combat methods to utterly crush her!

Compared to him, Xia Na, who appeared later, was more direct and more fierce!

But if Black Cat had to choose, she would still rather face someone like Xia Na head-on than experience that feeling of having strength but nowhere to use it, almost to the point of spitting blood, when fighting Ling Mo again.

Black Cat was not only jealous but also ruthless.

This ruthlessness wasn’t just directed at others but also at herself.

She had just been forced into a corner by Xia Na’s relentless attacks, leaving her no room to fight back. But from the moment she was thrown to Ling Mo’s feet, she had already reached into her bosom.

If Ling Mo had been alone, she might have tried to seduce him, but with this young girl beside him, she was no more than a clumsy hen flapping her wings.

So… she might as well fight to the death!

But she didn’t expect Ling Mo to be so meticulous in his observation…

He had already beaten her to a pulp, yet he still didn’t let his guard down!

“I originally wanted to ask you a few questions, but I ended up with this kind of surprise. Truly unexpected…”

Ling Mo stared at the bottle for a while. Although the environment here was a bit dim, with Xia Na’s perspective, he could see it clearly.

It was a small, semi-transparent brown plastic bottle, tightly capped, with no markings on the outside.

It contained a mostly solidified liquid. When shaken, it appeared very clear, with no impurities, and it was unclear why it had solidified.

Ling Mo unscrewed the cap and took a sniff, showing a hint of surprise.

This liquid had a faint scent of the virus.

But unlike zombie blood, the virus content was quite low, possibly even less than the sap he had absorbed…

However, besides that, the liquid must contain other substances.

Judging by Black Cat’s earlier actions, she probably intended to crush it and use it directly.

In other words, as long as it mixed with her blood, it would take effect.

Ling Mo became interested. He looked down at Black Cat and asked, “What is this?”

Black Cat’s eyes flickered as she stared at Ling Mo. She had already realized that this seemingly ordinary, even somewhat relaxed young man had been tightly focused on her.

No matter what little tricks she tried, she couldn’t escape his watchful eyes.

“Damn!”

Cursing inwardly, Black Cat asked, “If I tell you, will you spare my life?”

Ling Mo’s eyes immediately narrowed, a very playful smile appearing on his face.

Regardless of what this bottle of Liquid was, Black Cat’s recent actions were clearly an attempt to turn the tables and take their lives!

With no personal grudge, her intent to kill them was purely for her own gain…

Seeing Ling Mo’s expression, Black Cat felt a pang of fear, but her face twisted even more grotesquely:

“If you think you can torture the answer out of me, you might as well give up. While you waste time here, your companions might already be dead.” As she spoke, she cast a venomous glance at Xia Na and added, “She could break through the Illusion and come here, but can your other companions do the same? We know this place far better than you do.”

“Oh… so there really is more than one Ambusher,” Ling Mo mused, nodding thoughtfully.

“This guy completely missed the point!” Black Cat’s eyes widened as she said, “Did you not understand? Your companions… don’t you care about them…”

“This ability…” Ling Mo glanced around and then smiled, “Honestly, it’s quite formidable. You can only break it with psychic power, but unfortunately, once psychic power is released, it gets absorbed by this psychic realm, making it even more unbreakable.”

“Good that you understand, so don’t treat me like a prisoner…” Black Cat’s lips curled into a smirk. If he was afraid, she had a basis for threatening him…

But before she could speak, Ling Mo’s tone shifted: “Unfortunately, that’s exactly where the flaw lies.”

With that, Ling Mo extended a Tentacle. This psychic power dissipated instantly in the psychic realm, and then suddenly, a photo appeared on the wall.

It was an old photo, showing an ordinary-looking couple and two children, a boy and a girl.

Such a photo wouldn’t attract attention anywhere, but Ling Mo’s gaze softened immediately upon seeing it.

However, witnessing this, Black Cat sneered inwardly.

In the wake of the Cataclysm, who hasn’t lost something?

This man is only this capable. She had thought that, as a fellow superhuman with mental abilities, his Subconscious might hold something more…

“A flaw? Absorbing your psychic power only reinforces this psychic realm. What else can it do?” Black Cat couldn’t help but sneer.

The more she undermined Ling Mo, the better her chances of survival. Only when he realized he wasn’t truly in control would she have a chance to live.

Black Cat thought this and acted accordingly.

After a moment, Ling Mo looked down at Black Cat and said, “Indeed, the Subconscious of an ordinary person usually isn’t dangerous.”

Suddenly, he winked at Black Cat and said casually, “But unfortunately, I’m the only ordinary person here…”

“What do you mean…”

Just as Black Cat started to speak, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She stared wide-eyed, looking up at Xia Na with a mixture of malice and disbelief.

She hadn’t expected that while she was ruthless, her opponent was even more so, and he hadn’t cared about anything she said from the beginning…

In her gradually blurring consciousness, Black Cat heard Ling Mo’s final words: “Caught in your own web.”

“I thought you genuinely wanted to ask her something…” Xia Na looked up at Ling Mo and said.

“Well, I could always ask Lucy about it.” Ling Mo shook the bottle and tucked it into his bosom.

He had a hunch that the contents of this bottle might be related to the Mysterious Reward Lucy had mentioned.

“So she tried to use this to threaten you… Humans really are strange creatures,” Xia Na said, glancing at the corpse at her feet.

Ling Mo shook his head and said, “That’s just one aspect. She also knew that this alone wouldn’t make me spare her, so she tried to threaten me with Ye Lian and the others’ safety…”

“Are you worried about Ye Lian and the others?” Xia Na asked curiously.

“Hehe…”

Ling Mo gave a wicked smile, and from Xia Na’s perspective, she immediately understood.

“Better worry about themselves.”

Ling Mo glanced around and said.

Just as he had said earlier, this place was a “cage,” but those trapped inside weren’t just Ling Mo and his companions…
