Chapter 527 – This Is a Trap

This guy was even more shameless than himself!

Jianqi’s gaze quickly swept between Ling Mo and Lucy, and he suddenly discovered something that almost made him bite his tongue!

Lucy, who had just been slow to react, with eyes full of the pain of being deceived and unspeakable confusion, even twisting her fingers together, almost shouting, “I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! You’re lying to me!” was now looking at him with a hint of scrutiny. She even took a moment to wink at Ling Mo.

“You… he…”

Now it was Jianqi’s turn to be stunned. The expression that had just appeared on Lucy’s face was now perfectly replicated by him…

And this wasn’t an act!

He was genuinely dumbfounded! He was losing it!

From the beginning, he had suspected that Ling Mo might be the mastermind behind Lucy, but he never expected that this person was really behind them all along!

Even more unexpected was that Lucy, who had always been so straightforward to the point of being a bit naive, turned out to be a powerhouse! Her acting skills completely outshone his from start to finish!

Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!

It was as if he was being played in the palm of their hands…

“No, no, no, calm down, calm down…”

Jianqi’s face turned pale as he stared coldly at Ling Mo and Lucy, trying his best to control his emotions.

“I was just passing by, do you have to glare at me like that even if you’re not happy?”

Ling Mo said with a smile.

Pfft!

Jianqi felt like vomiting blood. This guy was actually mocking him!

No, this was outright provocation!

“That’s right, even though I’ve been tricked by him and Lucy, my strength is still there…”

Thinking this, Jianqi regained some confidence.

He twisted his neck, silently took a step back, and squinted at Ling Mo and Lucy: “I really didn’t expect it, Lucy, that you would team up with an outsider to harm me.”

“Outsider? To Fire, you’re the real outsider.”

Lucy shook her head with a cold smile: “I always hoped Ling Mo’s suspicions were wrong, but you really let me down.”

“Disappointed? But you’ve really surprised me. I used to think you were quite stupid…”

Jianqi was secretly adjusting the muscles throughout his body while observing Lucy and Ling Mo.

“I second that…”

Ling Mo laughed heartlessly, then quickly shut his mouth under Lucy’s angry glare.

“Seconded? What’s the point of that?”

Jianqi glared at Ling Mo bitterly. The more Ling Mo acted like this, the more Jianqi felt he was being played.

“Yeah, only now do I see you clearly. I really am quite stupid.”

Lucy said helplessly, “I always thought that since we came together, forming a team to survive, there was no need to waste energy on mutual suspicion. But from Zhen Zhiyuan… to you, I’ve been very disappointed.”

“Let me ask you one more time, why did you team up with him?” Jianqi pointed his chin at Ling Mo. “Weren’t you always the nice person in the team? As long as there wasn’t evidence right in front of you, you chose to believe in the team members, didn’t you?”

Seeing Lucy remain silent, Jianqi sneered, cracking his knuckles and shrugging his shoulders: “Heh, since you seem so confident, then… bring it on!”

He was well aware of Lucy’s strength, and Ling Mo was a mental ability superhuman…

As long as he dealt with them quickly, his plan wouldn’t be affected!

“Whoosh!”

At that moment, a figure suddenly flipped in from outside the corridor.

As soon as this figure appeared, a cold light slashed directly at Jianqi.

Swish!

The cold light swept past, catching Jianqi off guard. He hurriedly retreated but still got his arm cut by the blade tip.

“…There’s actually a helper!”

Jianqi glanced at the long-haired girl who had landed, his face turning ashen.

When he had confidently shouted “bring it on,” he never expected an unplanned enemy to suddenly appear from above…

Nor did he expect two more to emerge from behind…

The long-haired girl’s strength and speed were astonishing. Although one of the two behind looked dazed, and the other one wasn’t even looking at him but staring at Ling Mo… it was clear they weren’t small fries that could be easily taken down.

He was thoroughly cornered…

“You really came prepared…”

Jianqi’s forehead was already starting to sweat slightly. He let out a cold laugh, trying to buy some time and look for an opening.

Ling Mo chuckled: “Yep, we came today specifically to beat you up. Get him!”

At Ling Mo’s low shout, three figures lunged at Jianqi simultaneously.

Although these girls looked delicate and frail individually, once they started fighting, the frenzied strength they displayed made Jianqi feel immense pressure!

However, Jianqi’s strength was indeed formidable. To have honed his enhancement ability to such a level, he was probably the strongest in the entire Team Fire.

Moreover, since he hadn’t been infected by even a small amount of the virus, Ling Mo was certain that this guy had used his body as a test subject.

But what difference did his so-called perfect body have compared to his own situation?

Ling Mo was very curious about this. But he was even more curious about the “origin” and “they” that Jianqi had mentioned!

Clearly, there was a big fish hiding behind Jianqi!

“Don’t kill him!”

“Damn it!”

Hearing Ling Mo’s shout from not far away, Jianqi was on the verge of exploding with rage!

He had planned to launch a surprise attack on Ling Mo, the mental ability superhuman with the weakest close combat skills, when they were unprepared. But he hadn’t expected that this guy seemed to have seen through his intention and had immediately started a frenzied group assault.

These three girls, whether they were enhancement ability superhumans or not, were terrifyingly powerful.

Being able to barely hold them off was the result of Jianqi pushing his strength to the limit. There was no chance at all to break free and attack Ling Mo.

The most infuriating thing was that this superhuman was still finding opportunities to sneak attack!

Jianqi had done some research on Ling Mo’s abilities and knew that his psychic power could hurt from a distance. But he had thought that with his own speed, he could completely dodge it…

“Whoosh!”

After dodging Xia Na’s slash, a sudden sharp pain burst in his leg, and a small hole immediately appeared below his knee.

Looking up, he saw Ling Mo watching him from a distance, grinning irritatingly.

Just as Jianqi was about to lunge forward, Snake Kiss blocked his path. Not only did he fail to break through, but he also ended up with another wound.

Ling Mo seized the opportunity to strike again. If Jianqi hadn’t dodged quickly, it wouldn’t have been his shoulder that got injured it would have been his entire head.

“Come at me if you dare!”

“Provocation won’t work…” Ling Mo said calmly.

When fighting Jianqi with his avatar, Ling Mo had already realized that in terms of close combat, his main body was probably no match for Jianqi.

With defensive capabilities comparable to a zombie, along with the same formidable strength and speed, and his proficiency in close combat, getting entangled with him would likely spell disaster.

But what is the essence of Ling Mo’s ability? Puppet Control!

And who is better at close combat than zombies? Well, except for the one who uses a sniper rifle as a melee weapon…

Ye Lian had already taken the spirit of conserving bullets to the extreme, mainly because there was simply no opportunity or space for her to shoot here…

Although Ling Mo was standing outside the battle, his psychic tentacles had already completely enveloped Jianqi’s position.

Through Black Silk’s vision sharing, these female zombies could see the psychic tentacles provided by Ling Mo.

During the previous battle with the Air Force Corps’ pursuit squad, Ling Mo had tested this new method of use.

“Heavenly Strangulation…”

By spreading an invisible field of psychic tentacles and using Black Silk’s vision sharing as an intermediary.

When the female zombies needed to change positions or utilize the tentacles, due to their deep psychic link, Ling Mo could immediately sense their intended landing spots.

Materialization!

Instant materialization allowed them to gain leverage in mid-air, move swiftly, or even create an effect similar to teleportation!

Only with Ling Mo’s current level of psychic power could he sustain such consumption!

“Heavenly Strangulation… the first truly synchronized team battle method after mastering Puppet Control Ability!”

A cold smile appeared on Ling Mo’s lips as he looked at the man struggling amidst countless red tentacles.
