Chapter 840 – Psychic Zombie Puppet

Whoosh!

Just as the Youth turned around, a flash of Red Glimmer suddenly shot out from the collar of the Team Member at his feet. Simultaneously, a surge of powerful mental energy emerged, and it immediately targeted his psychic light cluster.

The attack was so sudden that even though the Youth reacted quickly, he only had enough time to point in front of himself in a rush.

“In the room? How is this possible?” The Youth’s face changed dramatically. This scene was beyond his comprehension… He had just discerned that this Team Member’s psychic fluctuation had an issue, but he hadn’t expected that the so-called issue was a lethal move aimed directly at him.

It seemed that all of this was just a trap, and the real target had always been him alone from the start…

“Trying to pose a threat to me? But this alone… isn’t enough!” the Youth thought coldly.

However, at that moment, another wave of new mental energy appeared eerily behind him. Caught in a pincer attack, a hint of fear finally flashed in the Youth’s eyes…

Boom!

With a silent explosion suddenly detonating in the psychic realm, the Youth’s face immediately turned pale, and he couldn’t help but let out a groan of pain. He staggered back to the wall, breathing heavily, and warily scanned his surroundings.

“What exactly… is this superhuman ability?”

…

“What is his ability, exactly?”

At the same time, a contemplative expression appeared on Ling Mo’s main body.

A brief encounter was enough to gather a lot of Intelligence, but whether the information could be unraveled and analyzed from a momentary battle depended on one’s experience.

“Judging by the nature of his psychic power, it should have a strong aggressiveness, right? If that’s the case, what he did to that Team Member just now is actually a more in-depth psychic probe… But simply probing once nearly destroyed that person’s psychic light cluster. Such ruthless attack power, I haven’t seen in other superhumans with mental abilities…”

At first glance, it seemed like just an ordinary probe, but in reality, it was a powerful attack method… This conclusion made Ling Mo feel a bit uneasy.

“Just like my Tentacle was initially just ordinary psychic power for probing, the psychic power used for probes originally only had Sensing Ability. That he could develop his psychic power to such an extent, even appearing somewhat domineering, might be related to some special ‘near-death burst’ state…”

However, no matter the reason, the fact that the Youth had the ability to directly destroy psychic light clusters instilled a deep sense of fear in Ling Mo.

“It’s unfortunate that the psychic zombie puppet can store so little psychic power, and the Tentacles it forms can’t match the true strength of the main body… But with the temporary injection from the master ball and the small amount of psychic light cluster left in the puppet, it’s enough to temporarily hold this person here…” Ling Mo thought somewhat regretfully.

This kind of puppet, capable of briefly utilizing psychic power and even showcasing some of his abilities, he called a psychic zombie puppet…

Currently, these psychic zombie puppets could only be used in conjunction with the master ball, but as long as the master ball could continue its evolution, the power the puppets could display would only grow stronger…

“When facing multiple enemies, these puppets can play a significant role…”

…

Five minutes had already passed…

“Haa…”

In the Corridor, the Youth leaned against the wall and let out a soft breath, turning his head to the side.

He could sense that the opponent was nearby, but he couldn’t pinpoint an exact location.

And whenever he tried to peek or launch a counterattack, the opponent’s strike would appear suddenly.

The attacks were just as unpredictable in direction and inconsistent in frequency… No matter where the opponent’s aura surfaced, the attacks could inexplicably come from other directions. Even when the Youth approached the Restroom, psychic power would shoot out from the faucet!

And this particular mystery… he simply couldn’t comprehend how the opponent was achieving it!

As every second ticked by, the Youth’s mood began to grow anxious.

“This person is clearly trying to stall me… But if I call for reinforcements, there’s no guarantee the opponent won’t use that same superhuman ability again…” He was the only one with a mental ability here, and the environment was complex enough. If Team Members started turning against each other…

The Youth felt a bit irritated. Ever since the moment he was ambushed, he hadn’t expected to find himself in such a stalemate. Didn’t that person know that the longer this drags on, the worse it gets for him?

Is he planning to sacrifice himself to allow his companions to escape? If that’s the case, shouldn’t his attacks be more desperate? The current frustrating ambushes and harassment hardly seemed like the actions of someone in despair…

Especially during the psychic power clashes, the Youth vaguely sensed some of the opponent’s emotions…

What made him feel like spitting blood was that this person actually seemed very relaxed!

In other words, the opponent was practically enjoying it!

…

Meanwhile, a few people entered the Corridor, only to be driven back by the Youth. But even so, all the exits on this floor were blocked. Most of the Destruction Team Members didn’t know exactly what was happening, but they had some vague suspicions…

“This guy is really bold, daring to counterattack in this situation?”

“I don’t know… But Vice Captain Xie should be able to catch him, right?”

“Yeah, Vice Captain Xie looks confident…”

Confident my foot! We haven’t even seen him yet!

Xie Wensu thought angrily…

The opponent’s superhuman ability was not only elusive, but their speed was also incredibly fast, and their stealth was comparable to a Zombie. Even with his Sensing Ability, Xie Wensu could only vaguely detect the opponent’s presence…

“However, no matter how long you plan to drag this out, you won’t have the chance to escape today!” Xie Wensu clenched his fist silently and muttered…

“Creak…”

In a corner of the floor, a door was suddenly pushed open gently.

With that slight sound, a figure quickly slipped through the door gap.

“Whew! That was close! Almost got discovered by him again!”

However, just as the figure quietly shut the door, a clear female voice suddenly came from a corner: “Hello there.”

The figure immediately froze, while the owner of the voice slowly emerged from the shadows.

Chewing gum, she stared at the figure and said, “You’re Ling Mo, right? Hmm… You’re a bit different than I imagined. For a superhuman with a mental ability, your physical strength is surprisingly robust. No wonder Xie Wensu was fooled by you. He probably didn’t anticipate that you would keep retreating while fighting, did he?”

In the dimly lit room, another figure appeared. The woman slung a howitzer launcher over her shoulder and, with a smile, aimed it at the motionless Zombie Puppet: “No matter how fast you are, you can’t be faster than my reaction time. So, what do you say? Want to give it a try?”

The Zombie Puppet glanced down at her, remaining still.

“Amazing! Neither psychic sensing nor the keen sense of a Zombie could detect her at first… Only when she spoke did she reveal herself from the darkness. Did she follow me here, or has she been waiting for me all along?” Ling Mo pondered, frowning.

As she was speaking, he had already surveyed the room’s structure.

“The door behind… the door leading to the Inner Room, and a window directly in front… three exits… She chose this place to block me, clearly very confident in her abilities.”

While Ling Mo’s mind raced, the woman continued, “Seems like you’re not interested in trying, huh? How boring, another cautious type…” She sighed with a hint of disappointment and leaned casually against the wall, seemingly unguarded. “But I’m quite interested in you. What exactly are you trying to accomplish by staying here?”

The Zombie Puppet remained silent, but hidden in its mind, Ling Mo was observing the woman…

Suddenly, his pupils contracted slightly, and a strange thought popped into his mind.

“This woman… I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before…”
