Chapter 1274: You Cant See Me
Slap, slap-
After two crisp slaps, the man slowly opened his eyes…
His first sensation was: pain!
A burning pain on his face, and all over his body…
He grunted, realizing he was tied to a chair. Besides the Barbed Wire digging deep into his flesh, the many abrasions all over his body were also the main reason for his pain. He glanced forward warily, but didn’t see the person who had slapped him.
He tried to struggle a bit… but just then, a hoarse voice suddenly came from beside him: “Give it up, it’s useless.”
Who’s there?!
The man’s movements paused. He quickly rolled his eyes around, then asked in a low voice, “Who is it? Who’s talking?”
While waiting for an answer, the man carefully turned his neck, scanning the room.
It was a dimly lit little room… There was little furniture, so it was easy to see if anyone was hiding. Directly in front of him was a tightly closed door; the voice didn’t seem to come from behind him. Behind him was a window. From the view at the corner of his eye, this room must be at least on the fourth floor or higher. Even if someone could hide here, no one would bother climbing outside the window.
If the person didn’t want him to see their face, there were simpler ways, like wearing a mask… Most importantly, from the voice he’d just heard, the other person should definitely be in the room…
“What, are you looking for me?” The voice sounded again.
The man shuddered! Sure enough, the person was in the room! And not only that, they were right next to him! That voice… it had sounded right in his ear!
In his shock, the first possibility he thought of was Superpower… Only a Superpower could crudely and simply explain everything he was experiencing… But soon, he dismissed that idea himself…
It couldn’t be a Superpower… Even if there was some kind of sound-transmitting Superpower that could make him feel that way… what about the breathing he felt!
There’s no way a Superpower of that type could do this!
Unless it was… a hallucination…
But that still didn’t make sense…
The man was full of questions… Torn, he asked again in a low voice, “You… who exactly are you?”
After two seconds of silence, a cold laugh suddenly sounded in front of him: “Judging by your expression, you seem pretty surprised…”
Surprised? Surprised about what? The man was stunned… Did the other person think he should recognize them?
But he really had no clue…
Or rather… he had immediately thought of a certain person, and the people around that person… But from the Intelligence he had, there shouldn’t be anyone with this kind of Superpower among them…
With no way to match things up, the man was already confused, and now he was even more at a loss.
What also shocked him… after hearing the other person speak, his expression completely changed.
The person really was standing right in front of him…
And this time, although he didn’t feel the other’s breath, he clearly smelled a bloody scent!
From the way the scent spread, this bloody smell was very likely… the other person’s breath!
Damn it! This is a bloodthirsty weirdo!
And it’s invisible!
An enemy he couldn’t see, who had tied him up here in a brutal way when he was completely powerless to resist. The person’s tone sounded calm enough, but in reality, they were right in front of him, staring at his flesh and drooling! ŕÁƝΟꞖËȘ
No matter how you looked at it, this was a weirdo’s way of doing things!
“…Did you get something wrong?” The man broke out in a cold sweat. That mouthful of “blood” from the other person completely disrupted his thoughts, and he could only probe cautiously.
The other person was silent for a while, then an even stronger scent was blown over, clearly showing they’d gotten closer: “Oh… then tell me, what exactly did I get wrong?”
The man was sweating even more… He hadn’t noticed before, but now he realized this person’s mouth wasn’t just full of blood, even their voice was terrifying. Hoarse, rough, as if they hadn’t spoken properly in a long time… No normal person would sound like this!
Could it be… this was the only Survivor in this town, who had struggled alone on the edge of death for too long and become a reclusive weirdo? Did it capture him to imprison him here and “happily” live together?
“You don’t need to capture me…” The man searched for words… Though he’d already imagined many terrifying scenarios, on the surface he still kept calm… He tried to stay composed, eyes staring straight ahead. The other person had said it-they were watching him…
“I mean no harm…” the man continued.
The other party pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, “So who are you? Why did you come here? There’s nothing here…”
Would you believe me if I said I was just passing by! The man roared inwardly, but nodded slightly in his heart… As expected, he was right. That last sentence just now, at first glance, seemed ordinary… but in fact, it revealed his identity! This guy is from here!
“I knew he wouldn’t be on the list… But even so, I’m still in danger…” The man frowned, thought for a moment, then replied, “Actually, I’m here looking for another group of people…”
At this point, he suddenly licked his lips and asked, “How about this, let me ask differently… Do you like women? Or men, that’s fine too…”
“Bang!”
With a muffled thud, the man rolled his eyes and fainted.
“Damn!” A curse echoed in the empty room.
After the door opened, a figure appeared in the sunlight of the Corridor.
The figure looked almost transparent; if not for the sunlight revealing some blood vessel patterns and skeletal shadows, it would have been basically invisible…
It wasn’t that the man hadn’t seen it, but even if he did, he wouldn’t have realized it.
This transparent Creature was, of course, Ling Mo’s Zombie Puppet…
During the escape from the sanatorium, Ling Mo had struggled to Control several Invisible Zombies…
Unlike common zombies, these Invisible Zombies were extremely difficult to Control; even with Ling Mo’s psychic power, the success rate was very low…
This was one of them.
After following the firelight to find Mu Chen and his group, Ling Mo had been controlling the Zombie Puppet to trail them all the way. Even when they split up to block the way, he managed to keep up in time.
Since the body he used was a Zombie, when this guy in front of him bolted, Ling Mo was able to easily track him down by catching the scent left on his companion…
Probably neither this guy nor the one behind him ever imagined they’d be targeted by a “Zombie” in this way…
But what surprised Ling Mo was this man’s reaction… He seemed to think Ling Mo was a third party. But after thinking about it, Ling Mo understood. This guy must have looked into Ling Mo’s group’s basic abilities, but never expected something like invisibility…
And if there really were Survivors in this town, being drawn by gunfire would be perfectly normal…
“If you knew about that Progenitor’s existence, you wouldn’t even be considering whether there are any Survivors left…” Ling Mo thought to himself.
But for him, this was a stroke of luck…
And judging by his tone, this guy actually wanted to recruit him…
“But you actually dared to use me and my girlfriend as bargaining chips!” Ling Mo decisively turned and kicked him twice.
He kicked hard, and the other man groaned in pain, suddenly waking up.
Ling Mo closed the door, and while the man was still moaning, he grabbed his Hair and lowered his voice, asking, “Be clear-what exactly are you here for? I’ll only ask once. If you dare lie…”
He used so much force, he nearly lifted the man off the ground… Since the other party thought he was unrelated, he might as well act crazy! Only then would the other guy reveal more.
And under such intense pain… it’s almost impossible for someone to instantly come up with a brand-new, flawless excuse in front of a stranger…
He had no choice; the only way was… to tell the truth!
When Ling Mo saw him run, he already knew… They didn’t really flee because of the fire… There must be a deeper reason behind it…
“Ah!” The man soon screamed in agony, unable to struggle, forced to endure the sensation of his scalp about to be ripped off. Ling Mo said nothing, slowly lifting him higher…
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk!” The man finally couldn’t take it anymore… Damn, this guy really is a weirdo!
But he wasn’t surprised… With what he’d just said, if the other party was actually interested, he’d have found it suspicious. But now, with the other guy acting like he could kill him at any moment, it made him panic!
If he didn’t speak now, he might never get the chance!
But even after he shouted, the other party still didn’t let go, only stopped lifting him higher.
Sweating profusely from the pain, he could only shout faster, “We’re not interested in this place! It’s just that our enemies happened to come here… We’re here to find them! Honestly, your enemies should be them, they’re the ones looking for something here! We can work together!”
A few seconds later, just as the man felt his head was about to explode, the other party finally let go.
“Bang!”
He crashed heavily to the ground again, letting out a miserable scream, but at the same time, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Alright, it seems the weirdo isn’t planning to kill him for now…
But this weirdo just listens without speaking, who knows what he’s thinking…
Just then, he felt a foot suddenly step on him.
The man instantly froze all over… No way, is this weirdo suddenly having second thoughts again?!
“Everything I said is true! I only ended up here today because they were chasing me. I ran to your…” The man glanced out the window… He vaguely felt that this must be inside one of the buildings in that residential area… So, this is the weirdo’s place?
Damn! What rotten luck…
“Ah!”
But before he could finish, the other’s foot pressed down hard. The man let out a pig-slaughtering scream… What the hell now!
But he was in so much pain he didn’t even have the strength to ask, luckily the other let out a cold laugh and spoke up: “You dare lie to me? You were chased by them? Didn’t you just say you guys came looking for trouble with them? If you weren’t confident enough, how could you chase them all the way here?”
“…”
This weirdo actually makes a lot of sense!
The man quickly squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: “I really didn’t lie to you! I was being chased, but it was on purpose! Ah…”
After he finished, several seconds passed before the other finally lifted his foot.
Now the man was sure… This weirdo was definitely doing it on purpose!
Looks like if he doesn’t want to be tortured, he’ll have to speak very carefully… This time it was the foot, next time it might be the hand… Judging by how skilled he is at torturing people, even stepping on his face wouldn’t be anything strange…
Just thinking about it made the man’s face hurt…
“On purpose? What do you mean?” The other asked. His voice was still dry. Just from his tone, you couldn’t tell if he was interested at all.
It wasn’t that Ling Mo was doing this intentionally… The fact that he could get this Zombie to speak was only because he’d practiced a bit before waking this man up… Pure last-minute preparation! He hadn’t expected to get such an unexpected harvest…
“It’s… Me and my companions, we actually went there to fight them… But to narrow the scope, we could only use the escape method… When their numbers dropped to two or three, we’d stop…” the man said.
Hearing this, Ling Mo suddenly chuckled: “So what you mean is, you want to make sure you can escape alive, right? If there are two or three left, you can get away…”
The man was instantly surprised.
Ling Mo glanced at his reaction, knowing he was suspicious, so he snorted coldly and said in a sinister tone: “I saw everything…”
So that’s it… The man didn’t know exactly what Ling Mo had seen, but judging by the timing of the sewer ambush, at the very least, his companion’s death must have been witnessed by this weirdo…
“He’s already been eaten by Zombies. If you go now, there might not even be a complete skeleton left,” Ling Mo continued coldly.
But the man’s face showed no reaction. He glanced at the air in front of him and said quietly, “You’re right, that was our plan. His death was inevitable. We needed to test these people, to see what ability the strongest among them uses. To figure that out, someone had to die.”
“Is that so? So you’re just out here on a mission… Then what about you, what’s your mission?” Ling Mo asked slowly.
The man said, “My mission is to bring the news back alive…”
“So you’re looking for a specific person? Who is he?” Ling Mo asked again.
“He’s a man with psychic powers… His name is Ling Mo. He’s very strong,” the man replied.
“Is that so…” A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ling Mo’s mouth.
This guy would never have guessed… The person he was looking for was actually hiding right inside the invisible shell standing before him…
And he’d just spilled Chief of Staff Wang’s entire plan without holding anything back…
In fact, the reason things had come to this was mainly because of his mission…
To bring the Intelligence back alive…
He’d sacrificed a companion to get the Intelligence, and to complete his mission, he could only choose to reveal this information to an irrelevant Survivor.
That was this man’s logic, and it was exactly what Ling Mo was exploiting…
Chief of Staff Wang only used people who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals, but as the saying goes: a person’s greatest strength is often also their greatest weakness…
Ling Mo pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and reached out to pat the man’s shoulder: “Alright… Now tell me more about the woman…”
