Chapter 417 Part 1 – TBA

“En….” Ye Lian responded.

The two stuck close to the wall and walked slowly towards the mall.

The place where they came out from happened to be a bedding display area, and their vision was greatly restricted.

From here, it was unclear how many zombies were in front of them. Ling Mo could only vaguely see some figures.

The more Ling Mo couldn’t see, the more cautious his expression became….

Ling Mo, who was walking in the front, didn’t notice that Ye Lian was staring closely at his back, and a dagger had appeared in her hand…

SHUA!

A cold light rose up suddenly but failed to drop down.

Invisible tentacles were firmly controlling her limbs, making her unable to move.

Ling Mo turned around, with a sneering expression, “In the end, you still decided to deliver yourself to me. I’ve got to admit, you’re quite brave.”

“Ye Lian” originally wanted to keep pretending to be dumb, but after hearing this sentence, she immediately turned pale.

He quickly regained his original appearance, staring at Ling Mo with bitter eyes, and asked, “How did you find out?”

“That’s quite simple.”

“These figures should also be hallucinations that you created, right? However, it seems that your powers have been spent. You’re only able to create a few shadows. As for clearer images, I’m afraid you can’t create them anymore. Moreover, it’s hard to find anything wrong with these spiritual bodies[1] even with my spiritual sense, so it was a good idea. It’s a pity… you missed a very important and very basic detail.”

“What…. What detail?”

The long-haired youth’s expression turned gloomy; he didn’t want Ling Mo to lead him by the nose, but he couldn’t help asking.

“A zombie just died at the door, and I also kicked the door loudly. Are these zombies blind or deaf? If you had pushed yourself a little more, and made them rush over to attack me, I might have been fooled.”

Ling Mo stared at the long-haired youth with an expression that seemed as if he was looking at an idiot and shook his head.

“What’s wrong with this? Even if you find these figures strange, your attention would still be drawn to them….” The long-haired youth was not willing to accept this. The fear of dying made his psychological defenses gradually collapse.

For his own plan, the long-haired youth was self-confident and believed it would definitely work.

In addition, he also planned that until Ling Mo died, he would keep the image of “Ye Lian” and let Ling Mo die with hatred.

Only by causing inner torture to the enemy would he be able to get the greatest pleasure, which was also the source of the long-haired youth’s self-confidence.

Indeed, who would have thought that an enemy who had just been struck down hard, would suddenly appear next to him in a blink of an eye, and casually “change” into a person close to him? This could really be called a blind spot.

Not to mention, Ling Mo was also in a dangerous environment. All of his attention was focused on those figures, so how could he notice the movements of those around him?

However, because of Ling Mo’s “various” abilities, it prevented the long-haired youth from guessing what kind of role Ling Mo’s abilities played.

In the first place, he wasn’t able to perceive Ling Mo’s most important ability, his puppet ability.

Being unable to change the environment, he could only start off with the side characters.

After using various tricks, the long-haired youth risked his body at the end, but wasn’t even able to hurt a single hair from Ling Mo.

“Even if there was no spiritual connection, I could still distinguish between a real or fake Ye Lian. Did you think that the crush I had on Ye Lian for more than a decade was fake?!!”

Ling Mo grabbed the long-haired youth, and an enhanced version of the spiritual tentacle slowly emerged from his spiritual ball of light.

“No… NO!NO!”

The long-haired youth struggled hard as he stared at the murderous Ling Mo.

But his body was much weaker than Ling Mo.

Even without his spiritual tentacles, Ling Mo could still pull up the long-haired youth like he was picking up a small chick.

“No! That’s impossible! You can’t be completely immune to hallucinations, it’s impossible….”

The long-haired youth widened his eyes and snarled through his nose that was overflowing with mucus.

But because Ling Mo was gripping his neck, his roar was stuck in his throat, making it sound very strange.

“When you wanted us to kill each other, you should have also expected for this to happen.”

Ling Mo glanced at him, and the long-prepared spiritual tentacle pierced into the long-haired youth’s spiritual ball of light.

Under extreme panic, the long-haired youth’s psychological defenses fell down, and Ling Mo’s spiritual tentacles penetrated into the ball of light almost effortlessly.

To be continued…

[1] – I’m going to a.s.sume that the spiritual bodies he’s talking about are the hallucinations that the long-haired youth created.
