Chapter 444 – On Another Way to Unite

Ling Mo had been unconscious for as long as Xia Na had remained silent…

Although she wasn’t truly asleep, she stayed by Ling Mo’s side, eyes closed.

“If Ling Mo is feeling unwell, that’s one thing, but why is Xia Na also…”

Li Yalin was initially curious, but just as she was about to reach out and touch Xia Na, Ye Lian grabbed her wrist.

“What’s wrong?” Li Yalin asked, puzzled, looking at Ye Lian.

Ye Lian looked dazed, but recalling what she had just seen in Xia Na’s eyes, she slowly shook her head.

“Hmm…”

Li Yalin was still confused, but she vaguely felt that something was gradually changing…

It was a subtle feeling, existing within their psychic link…

The two of them exchanged a glance, then looked at Ling Mo and Xia Na…

It wasn’t until dawn that Ling Mo finally woke up from his coma.

However, after waking up, Ling Mo didn’t look very well; his face was a bit pale.

After bustling around in the psychic realm all night, how could he not be pale?

But fortunately, Ling Mo’s psychic power recovery rate was much faster than that of an average mental ability superhuman. Although he had been constantly using his power in the psychic realm, it was also continually replenishing.

“Ling-Ge… are… are you okay?” Ye Lian, who had been watching Ling Mo, asked with concern the moment he opened his eyes.

“I’m fine…” Ling Mo replied with a smile, ruffling her hair.

“But why do you look like you’ve fought a hundred battles in your dreams?” Li Yalin asked with a smile, tracing her finger across Ling Mo’s lips. “Did you have some strange dream?”

“It was almost like fighting a hundred battles… and it was indeed a very peculiar dream…”

Ling Mo propped himself up, then turned his gaze to Xia Na.

His eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.

In the psychic realm, he had indeed experienced a lot.

Helping Xia Na resolve her Inner Demon, allowing her to let go of her feelings of betrayal and infection, was one thing.

On the other hand, he also helped her completely resolve her split personality issue.

Whether it was successful or not would be seen now…

As Xia Na slowly opened her tightly shut eyes, a completely different aura immediately caused both Ye Lian and Li Yalin to pause.

Usually, Xia Na always had an unsettling vibe about her, something that made her feel different from ordinary zombies.

But now, as she opened her eyes, although their color remained the same as a human’s, there was a fierce frenzy in her gaze.

Her lips curled into a slight smile, which seemed warm but carried a chilling hint of a beast eyeing its prey.

“This feeling… truly worthy of a Leader-Level zombie…” Ling Mo remarked, shifting his gaze to the seemingly empty space behind Xia Na.

In reality, someone was standing there…

Through Ling Mo’s eyes, Xia Na’s spiritual body looked just like a real person.

Although her appearance was identical to Xia Na’s Main Body, her eyes were distinctly red and white at the moment.

The clothes she wore were also different from those of the Main Body.

The Main Body wore a black shirt, black jacket, and black skirt, all in a school uniform style.

Silly Na, however, was dressed in a white top and red skirt. Despite being a spiritual body, she exuded a youthful aura.

The Scythe carried by the Main Body had a gleaming white blade, flashing cold light. In contrast, the Scythe held by the spiritual body was entirely made of psychic power, blood-red in color, and exuded immense mental pressure just by being lightly held.

They looked similar, yet were completely opposite.

When the eyes of the Main Body Xia Na turned red and white, the eyes of the spiritual body Xia Na gradually transformed to black and white.

“The Main Body is controlled by Black Na, while the spiritual body is managed by Silly Na. They can also merge into one…”

Without Xia Na’s powerful psychic power and Ling Mo’s guidance and assistance, the formation of the spiritual body would have been impossible.

This spiritual body possessed most of Xia Na’s psychic power and shared the same memories as Black Na, but it had its own thoughts and human emotions.

When they merged, they formed the complete Xia Na. When separated, they could fight and think independently.

For Xia Na, this arrangement was a form of liberation.

In every matter, there would always be conflicts between instinct and human thought.

In the long run, this would be detrimental to her development.

However, there was one aspect on which Xia Na would never have a cognitive discrepancy.

Whether she was human or a zombie, her feelings for Ling Mo remained the same.

Furthermore, the newly formed spiritual body still had significant limitations, such as not being able to stray too far from the Main Body…

Even though the personality was separated, they were fundamentally one entity, so these restrictions were understandable.

“What are you looking at?”

Ye Lian and Li Yalin turned their heads, puzzled, and followed Ling Mo’s gaze.

Due to the psychic link between them, they could vaguely sense something but couldn’t see it.

Silly Na took a step forward, her eyes focusing intently on Ye Lian and Li Yalin like a visual projection.

The two of them suddenly felt a bit dazed and then were startled.

“There’s… there’s another one…” Ye Lian’s eyes widened as she looked at the suddenly appearing Silly Na.

“Could it be…”

Li Yalin scrutinized Silly Na up and down for a while, then turned to Ling Mo and asked, “Is this your and Xia Na’s child?”

“Pfft!”

Ling Mo nearly choked on his own saliva. “Have you ever seen a child the same size as their mother?”

Ye Lian also shook her head at Li Yalin and said, “This… this is clearly… just a twin sister…”

“Ye Lian’s explanation makes more sense…”

Silly Na’s voice suddenly echoed directly in their minds, clear to Ling Mo as well.

“Her psychic power is indeed strong…” Ling Mo nodded in satisfaction. “And her eyes can create hallucinations similar to the Long-Haired Youth’s effect. If she wants someone to see her, they will…”

“But to be more precise…”

Black Na walked over, and both she and Silly Na spoke simultaneously in the same tone and manner, “We are essentially one person.”

No matter how one listened, it was hard to discern any difference in their speech…

Even twins wouldn’t have such perfect synchrony.

“Bu… but…” Li Yalin still looked incredulous.

“Uh… this is Black Na, and this one is… Silly Na,” Ling Mo thought for a moment and introduced them.

“You’re the silly one!” Silly Na interrupted him prematurely.

“Alright then…” Ling Mo rubbed his temples and said, “This is Black Na, and you can be White Na. How about the Black and White Twins?”

“That’s so lame…”

“Terrible at naming…”

Even Ye Lian looked at Ling Mo and shook her head.

Even Black Silk, who had been silent all this time, laughed in Ling Mo’s mind.

In the end, Xia Na herself decided: one would be called Black Na, and the other Nana.

“Before the infection and mutation, I was Xia Na. But after the mutation, the zombie instincts gradually took shape, eventually giving birth to Black Na…”

The two personalities spoke in unison, “But if we call this part of human emotions Xia Na, it doesn’t feel quite right. Now, no matter what, we are all part of one entity. Only when we combine do we become the true Xia Na.”

As she spoke, Nana stepped behind Black Na and merged into her shadow.

“Is there really such a way to combine?” Ling Mo showed a hint of surprise.

When she needs to appear, she would also separate from the shadow…

At this moment, Lucy, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up.

She immediately opened her eyes and looked at Ling Mo and the others gathered around. Her eyes flashed with delight, “You’re awake?”

“Why do you still look tired even after resting all night?” Lucy asked worriedly.

But as soon as she spoke, she seemed to realize something and quickly cleared her throat, her expression becoming serious again, “I was just casually asking.”

“Psychic power… once it’s consumed, it’s hard to recover,” Ling Mo responded casually.

“Didn’t you recover quickly after various other exhausting situations before…” Lucy muttered to herself and then asked, “What about your injuries?”

“Just some minor scrapes…”

Ling Mo stretched and felt his back, thinking that with his defensive capability and recovery speed, those wounds might have already scabbed over by now…
