Chapter 1119 – This Was… Hypnosis…

“You can keep holding on… but you will see no hope. Everyone you know will die, including those still by your side now. Those Zombies, can they communicate with you now? Heh, don’t worry, soon they won’t be able to… To keep them alive, you can only help them evolve, but evolution, for your relationship, is a road of no return…”

“They’ll grow stronger and have less and less in common with humans… Do you think a giant with immense power is the same kind of Creature as ordinary humans? Look at how humans treat their former companions after turning into Zombies. You know very well how they see humans, right?”

“But if you give yourself to me… then we’ll become even stronger Creatures. Even in the near future, when that era of chaos rises, we’ll still be able to exist together in a special way… You’ll be able to keep living, and I’ll help them keep living too… And as I said, my way of Devour is different from yours, I won’t completely erase you…”

At this point, “Gu Shuangshuang” suddenly showed him a strange smile: “If you can’t decide now, then… I wonder if this will help you…”

She suddenly reached out and stabbed herself in the abdomen. As a look of pain flashed across her face, “Gu Shuangshuang” immediately burst out laughing: “See? She’s dead… She’s about to die… But even if she doesn’t die now, so what? Sooner or later, she’ll taste pain far worse than this… And it’s not just her fate, all of this is because of you… If you’re willing to give up now, then I’ll stop right now…”

At the same time, through Black Silk’s vision, Ling Mo suddenly saw a scene…

A dark figure quietly slipped out from around the corner, appearing behind them…

“Wait… Black Silk, turn around quickly, he’s not ignoring you, he’s about to attack! But with Black Silk’s reflexes, it’s impossible to be ambushed…”

Ling Mo had just finished speaking when Ye Kai suddenly turned around and said, “Look, there seems to be someone behind us!”

Black Silk had already noticed the presence behind, and now she turned her head…

But just as Mu Chen and the others turned around, Black Silk seemed to suddenly realize something, and whipped her head back. At that moment, Ling Mo caught a strange smile on Ye Kai’s face…

“No… no…”

“Ah!”

Ling Mo froze for a moment, then suddenly crushed a “pouch” in his hand.

With a scream, Ling Mo snapped awake. When he looked at “Gu Shuangshuang” again, he actually saw the shadow of another person in those eyes…

“It’s you!” Ling Mo shouted at once, and immediately turned his head.

But… the Corridor was empty, not a soul in sight…

Ling Mo’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned back.

This time, “Gu Shuangshuang” was gone too…

But the scream just now seemed to have come from her…

“Huff… huff…” Ling Mo stared ahead warily, breathing rapidly.

But then, he suddenly realized his palm was drenched in Sweat…

Wait, Sweat?! How could he be sweating?

Ling Mo quickly looked himself over… This wasn’t his spiritual body, but his main body!

And… there was no unconscious Skinny Monkey at his feet…

The Corridor was dim, the doors on both sides ajar, a chilly breeze kept blowing through, making Ling Mo shiver… He suddenly looked back, and was shocked to find he was standing right at the entrance to the Dormitory Building! That door was right behind him…

He hadn’t even gone up to the second floor, hadn’t even climbed the stairs… let alone Controlled the psychic puppet to find Gu Shuangshuang, or save Skinny Monkey…

“What’s going on?” Ling Mo was utterly incredulous…

A moment later, he finally woke up from the confusion…

This was… hypnosis…

From the moment he stepped into this building, he’d already fallen into the opponent’s psychic attack-hypnosis. Everything that happened during that time was only happening in his mind… And the opponent kept appearing again and again, with only one goal: to destroy his willpower…

When all that failed, the opponent started to destroy his “dream”… But what the opponent hadn’t expected was that Ling Mo’s will to survive not only remained strong, but lasted to the very end… Faced with the crisis of his team’s imminent destruction, he didn’t despair, but instead detonated the “bomb” he’d been holding in his hand. And those psychic light points Ling Mo had collected were the escape route he’d left for himself in his Subconscious, and also the biggest flaw in the whole “dream”…

The “bomb” exploded, and the Progenitor Zombie’s hypnosis was completely broken…

“This explains why she can spout nonsense with such a straight face… But among all the things she said, there must be one truth: her Devour is completely different from mine… I can Devour directly when the other party is powerless to resist, but she has to wait for a certain moment. Only when I have a death wish can she take advantage of the opening… Yes, that’s why she never acted directly! This method of hers is truly killing without leaving a trace!”

Gu Shuangshuang’s performance… the scene where Skinny Monkey almost died in front of him… and everything that happened afterward… it was all for this same purpose! And the reason Ling Mo could resist in the “dream,” even saving Skinny Monkey and disrupting the opponent’s plans, none of that was a coincidence…

His psychic power is strong, his will is firm, and that’s the real reason the other side didn’t succeed easily… As for Skinny Monkey and Gu Shuangshuang being “taken away,” it’s most likely because they were hypnotized… Even the marks Gu Shuangshuang left on the ground were probably drawn after she was hypnotized.

“I always thought the other side had no helpers, but I didn’t expect she had this trick up her sleeve… But what she doesn’t know is, the reason she tried so hard to persuade me to give up is exactly what keeps me going… So, in my Subconscious, I would never give up…”

Those Zombies who “might abandon him as they evolve” are the biggest reason he keeps struggling to survive… And as for this…

“That’s pure nonsense! Even my waist is evolving now, why would I worry about not being able to handle them?!” Most importantly, Ling Mo simply didn’t believe such crap! Only by continuing to evolve… is there a chance to recover…

That being said, after waking up from hypnosis, Ling Mo still stood frozen in place for a while.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: “Ling-Ge, how’s your observation going?”

“Ah!”

Ling Mo immediately turned around, almost bumping into the three Female Zombies who were curiously staring at him…

Xia Na and the others had all leaned their heads in, clearly having just been sniffing fiercely at his back and Hindbrain… When Ling Mo turned around, they didn’t even try to hide it, but continued to stare at him with their three pairs of big eyes…

“Whew…”

“What’s wrong with you?” Ye Lian asked.

“Why do you look so pale? Did your lumbar strain suddenly act up? Want me to give you a massage?” Li Yalin guessed, and without hesitation reached out, her hand going straight for Ling Mo’s lower body, “I heard that for men, this is the universal switch-any unhappy thing can be solved with this switch…”

“Wait, Senior Sister… I think he might have been scared by us…” Xia Na was the most straightforward.

Li Yalin’s hand hesitated in midair: “So… the switch doesn’t work in this case?”

“That was never a switch! And Xia Na…”

Ling Mo immediately rolled his eyes… This girl is great in every way, except she just loves telling the truth too much!

“Um… how long have I been observing?” Ling Mo asked a strange question.

“Just now…”

“A little while?”

“Three seconds,” Xia Na answered precisely as always.

At this moment, Mu Chen and the others’ voices also came from not far away…

“Captain, are you okay? As soon as you got here, you suddenly started running forward like crazy, we couldn’t even stop you, and you just charged right in without even slowing down… Did something happen?” Only Mu Chen would ask like this. The others, though silent, also crowded around, all looking at him with concern.

Seeing this, Ling Mo couldn’t help but complain inwardly again… These three Female Zombies really are unreliable! Especially Senior Sister… How did she connect his mad dash into the room and then standing dumbly for three seconds to lumbar strain! There’s absolutely no connection!

But… thinking of how they had just crowded behind him, Ling Mo couldn’t help but show a slight smile…

These humans and Zombies, they just have completely different ways of showing concern… It’s not like that Progenitor Zombie said, that they only see him as prey. Even if he is prey, he’s the special one, and the ones they want to hunt are just his Dick…

Or occasionally, they might think about his flesh…

“Don’t worry, I’m fine…” Ling Mo forced a wry smile and said. As for what had just happened, he didn’t plan to tell them everything…

Then, Ling Mo’s expression suddenly turned cold: “But that Progenitor Zombie, she’s about to be in trouble…”
