Chapter 501 – Counter-Attack

“Where did this superhuman get such a powerful scene from? Isn’t the psychic realm usually based on the Subconscious?”

Ling Mo looked around and decided to go into the Church first to take a look.

In this psychic realm, he couldn’t actively sense Ye Lian and the others’ locations.

Just a moment ago, everyone was standing together, but now he was the only one around.

Clearly, the moment the psychic realm was generated, the “distance” between them was also stretched.

This psychic realm seemed vast, but in reality, it might only cover an area within a hundred meters.

Walking hundreds of meters in the psychic realm might mean Ling Mo’s main body was just pacing back and forth within a few meters in reality.

Of course, this psychic realm was likely just a means for the opponent to trap his group. There were probably other dangers to come.

Otherwise, Ling Mo could simply do nothing inside and wait for the opponent’s psychic power to deplete and die.

Creak—

After pushing open the door, everything from the spider-covered cross to the dirty, broken pews looked quite convincing…

“Even Xia Na’s psychic realm has blank areas. This superhuman’s imagination is too detailed…”

Although it seemed like no one was inside the room, Ling Mo decided to search further.

After all, this was the opponent’s psychic realm—better safe than sorry.

The floor creaked under his steps. If he didn’t know for sure this was just a psychic realm, Ling Mo might have suspected he’d walked into some kind of parallel world…

When he reached the cross, something must have triggered, because it started to rotate automatically with a clicking sound.

Then a piece of the floor slid aside, revealing an Underground Passage.

“This is way too detailed… What kind of stuff does this person’s Subconscious hold?”

Seeing the Underground Passage, Ling Mo finally realized what was off.

No wonder everything felt so out of place…

“This superhuman must have been a gaming enthusiast before… Even their Subconscious has been replaced by these elements. How many hours did they spend in front of a computer every day?”

But regardless of what they did in the past, their life had been completely reshuffled since they awakened their superhuman abilities.

Although their past life still existed in this bizarre manner…

Ling Mo didn’t need to think to know that this “secret passage” must lead to a Castle.

“Who would have thought that at this age, I’d still be playing these kinds of games…”

He muttered as he furrowed his brows and carefully descended the ladder.

What Ling Mo didn’t know was that shortly after he entered, another person emerged from behind the Church.

Her hair tied back and a displeased expression on her face, it was Black Cat.

Judging by her appearance, she was also affected by this psychic realm.

And the fact that she was slightly panting indicated she had come from a considerable distance.

Zhen Zhiyuan’s superhuman ability had very clear weaknesses, but it also had its strong points.

Being able to create a self-sustaining loop was one aspect; the other was the considerable range of its effect.

Once locked on by his Perception, even from a kilometer away, he could bring the target into this “Domain” and trap them.

That’s why he was so confident that Ling Mo and his group couldn’t escape.

The problem was, while the enemy couldn’t escape, they had to run a big circle to get here…

And once inside the area, the scenery was directly distorted, making it impossible to just stand outside with a gun and shoot…

“Couldn’t you think of a way to improve this? Like walking up to the target, grabbing their arm, activating it instantly, and then stabbing them before they can react…”

Black Cat grumbled to herself, frowning.

But she knew that was impossible. No matter how strong a superhuman ability was, it had its limitations, especially mental abilities.

Glancing at the hole in the ground, a sly smile suddenly appeared on Black Cat’s face…

Meanwhile, another figure suddenly appeared in a forested area.

“This far away? It’s your psychic realm, can’t you control it a bit better?”

Loong looked at the dense “jungle” around him, feeling frustrated.

Unfortunately, once the “Domain” was activated, Zhen Zhiyuan no longer had the energy to make any adjustments.

So after cursing a few times, Loong had no choice but to follow the path.

The “Domain” was generally effective for killing Zombies. A large number of Zombies would enter, providing cover for others to escape.

But when it came to killing Survivors, especially superhumans with mental abilities, it was a different story.

As soon as Zhen Zhiyuan heard that Ling Mo was a superhuman with mental abilities, he was immediately interested. It was this confidence that drove him.

In his view, the Air Force Corps couldn’t kill this person, but he certainly could.

Meanwhile, Black Cat had already entered the Underground Passage.

This psychic realm looked large but wasn’t really.

The existence of a psychic realm relies on psychic power, and Zhen Zhiyuan’s psychic power wasn’t strong enough to create a super-large scenario.

The more detailed the psychic realm was, the smaller the area it covered.

Black Cat held a Pocket Knife in her hand. She didn’t know who had entered before her, but having run through this psychic realm several times, she was more familiar with it than the unlucky prey.

She knew the best spots to attack and the best places to hide.

Setting aside the bizarre nature of this scenario, it was essentially just a slaughterhouse designed for them to do their work.

Here, even stronger teams would be hunted down after being broken apart.

For instance, this Underground Passage, though all paths led to the same place, had many branches perfect for hiding.

“Swish!”

However, just as she turned a corner, a cold gleam flashed past the back of her neck.

At that moment, Black Cat felt her hair stand on end, a chill surging up from her feet.

She instinctively rolled forward, but even so, she felt a sharp pain on her neck!

“Blood…”

Touching the back of her neck, Black Cat immediately felt drenched in cold sweat!

She had just brushed past death!

“Failed, huh… You really are quite fast.”

In the dim light, a man emerged from the shadows, speaking with a half-smile.

“Damn it!”

Black Cat couldn’t help but curse.

She had come down to ambush her prey, but she ended up getting ambushed instead!

In fact, as soon as Ling Mo descended, he had already drawn his Tactical Knife.

Everything in here might be fake, but the ambush from the enemy was real.

No matter how the scene was set, the opponent’s goal was singular: to kill him.

“This place clearly screams murder, so of course, I had to be on guard. But I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly,” Ling Mo said.

Black Cat rolled her eyes. “You talk about being on guard… But I didn’t expect you, a superhuman with mental abilities, to dare ambush me here. I thought without your psychic power, you’d be like a plucked chicken, no longer impressive.”

“So you rushed right down here, eager to sneak up and take me out?”

Ling Mo smiled, taking a slow step backward.

Black Cat was incredibly fast!

During the ambush, her speed had suddenly become almost too fast for Ling Mo to follow, which is why he hadn’t been able to land a fatal blow.

This had to be some sort of superhuman ability, likely an Enhancement ability that consumed physical energy.

Ling Mo glanced at her calves and sure enough, noticed something unusual.

Though the woman’s legs were well-proportioned, her calf muscles seemed suddenly more developed than usual.

She didn’t seem to mind being scrutinized, sneering, “Never seen someone this fast? Of course not. My ability is called Super Speed.” She waved a Pocket Knife in her hand and said, “In my hands, you’re dead.”

“Shit!”

Ling Mo had just enough time to curse before she lunged at him.

As soon as her legs moved, Ling Mo could no longer see her.

All he could hear were the “swish swish” sounds, her figure completely invisible.

Yet, she wasn’t in a hurry to strike, and this behavior only served to increase the psychological pressure on him.

This was purely to retaliate for Ling Mo’s ambush!
