Chapter 527: The Real Trap
Chapter 527: The Real Trap
Lucy, who just moments ago was all sluggish in reaction, her eyes filled with the pain of being deceived and an indescribable entanglement, even her fingers twisted together as if she was about to cry out, I dont believe it! Youre lying to me! was now looking at him with a scrutinizing glint, and even found a moment to wink at Ling Mo.
You He
Now, it was Jian Qis turn to be dumbstruck. The expression that had appeared on Lucys face just a moment ago had been perfectly replicated by him
And this wasnt an act!
He was genuinely flabbergasted! Driven to madness!
From the beginning, he had suspected that Ling Mo was the mastermind behind Lucy, but he had never imagined that this man was actually right behind them!
And he had not anticipated that Lucy, always straightforward to the point of seeming foolish, was actually a powerful performer! Her acting skills had utterly eclipsed his from start to finish!
Terrifying! Too terrifying!
It was as if she was playing him like a puppet
No, no, no, calm down, stay calm
Jian Qis face turned pale as he stared coldly at Ling Mo and Lucy, struggling to control his emotions.
I was just passing by, no need to glare at me like that. Or maybe, should I send you a golden strawberry?
Ling Mo said with a chuckle.
Pfft!
Jian Qi felt like he was internally bleeding three liters. This guy was actually mocking him!
No, it was outright provocation!
Thats right, even though I was tricked by him and Lucy, my strength remains
With this thought, Jian Qi felt his confidence returning.
He twisted his neck, silently stepped back, and narrowed his eyes as he scanned the faces of Ling Mo and Lucy: I never expected this, Lucy, that you would conspire with a stranger to harm me.
Stranger? To fire, youre the real stranger.
Lucy scoffed and shook her head: I always hoped Ling Mo was wrong, but youve deeply disappointed me.
Disappointed? But you did impress me. I always thought you were rather foolish
Jian Qi secretly adjusted the muscles throughout his body, while keeping an eye on both Lucy and Ling Mo.
I second that
Ling Mo laughed unsympathetically, then shut his mouth under Lucys angry glare.
What are you seconding with such enthusiasm!
Jian Qi glared at Ling Mo hatefully, the more Ling Mo acted this way, the more he felt played.
Yeah, I am indeed foolish for only seeing through you today.
Lucy said helplessly: Ive always believed that since weve come together for survival, there was no need to waste energy on mutual suspicion. But from Zhen Zhiyuan to you, youve all been a disappointment.
Let me ask you one more time, why did you join forces with him? Jian Qi pointed at Ling Mo with his chin, Havent you always played the good guy in the team? As long as the facts arent in front of you, you choose to trust the people in the group, right?
Seeing Lucys silence, Jian Qi let out a cold laugh, cracked his knuckles, and then rotated his shoulders, Heh, since you all seem so confident, then come on!
Lucys capabilities were as clear as day to him, and Ling Mo, she was a mental ability user
As long as he could quickly dispose of them, his plans wouldnt be affected!
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly flipped into the hallway from outside at that moment.
As soon as this figure appeared, a cold gleam of light slashed towards Jian Qi.
Swoosh!
The cold light flashed by, Jian Qi, caught off guard, hastily retreated but still got his arm sliced by the tip of the blade.
To think theres backup!
Jian Qi glanced at the long-haired girl who had fallen to the ground, his face turning steely.
When he triumphantly shouted come on, he never expected an unplanned enemy to suddenly pop out from above
Nor did he expect that two more would appear behind him
The long-haired girls strength and speed were astounding, and the two behind her, even though one seemed dazed and the other didnt even glance at him, focusing only on Ling Mo it didnt take much to know that they were not small fry that could be taken down in a few hits.
He was completely cornered
You really came prepared
Sweat began to bead on Jian Qis forehead as he let out a mocking laugh, trying to buy time and find an opening.
Ling Mo chuckled, Yeah, we came especially to beat you up today. Attack, beat him!
With Ling Mos low roar, three figures charged at Jian Qi simultaneously.
Although these girls seemed delicate and fragile on their own, once they started fighting, their ferocious power put immense pressure on Jian Qi!
However, Jian Qi was indeed very powerful, having trained his enhancement ability to such a level. Probably within the entire fire, he was the strongest.
Moreover, he hadnt been infected with even a small amount of the virus, Ling Mo was sure that this man had also 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. What intrigued him even more was the Origin and Them that Jian Qi had mentioned!
Clearly, behind Jian Qi, there was a bigger fish hidden!
Dont kill him!
Damn!
Hearing Ling Mos shout from not too far away, Jian Qi was about to explode with anger!
He had planned to take them by surprise and attack Ling Mo, the mental ability user with the weakest close combat abilities, but it was as if Ling Mo had read his intentions, crazily initiating a group assault right from the start.
These three girls, whether or not they were all enhancement ability users, were terrifyingly strong.
Barely blocking them was the result of Jian Qi pushing his abilities to the limit. To find an opening to attack Ling Mo was utterly impossible now.
What was infuriating was that this psychic kept taking potshots at him!
Jian Qi had done some research on Ling Mos abilities and knew that his mental power could harm people from a distance, but he had thought that with his own speed, dodging would be no problem
Whoosh!
After dodging Shanas slash, he hadnt yet retracted his leg when a sudden sharp pain hit him, and a small hole immediately appeared below his knee.
Looking up, he saw Ling Mo watching from a distance, wearing an especially annoying smirk.
Just as Jian Qi was about to charge at him, his path was blocked by Snakes Kiss, not only failing to break free but also gaining an additional wound.
Ling Mo took the opportunity to strike him again; had he not dodged quickly, it was likely not just his shoulder but his entire head that would have been injured.
Come at me if you dare!
Kid, provocation wont work on me Ling Mo said with a calm expression.
As he fought Jian Qi with his clone, Ling Mo had already realized that in terms of close combat, his own body was probably no match for Jian Qi.
Comparable to zombies in defense, with strength and speed as formidable as the zombies, plus his own proficiency in close combat, once Jian Qi got hold of him, it would likely spell big trouble.
But what was Ling Mos true ability? Puppet Control!
And who was better at close combat than zombies? Except for that one using a sniper rifle as a club
Ye Lian had taken the spirit of conserving bullets to the extreme, of course, also because there really wasnt an opportunity or space for her to shoot here
At this moment, although Ling Mo was standing outside the battle group, his mental Tentacles had already completely enveloped Jian Qis location.
Through the shared field of view with Black Silk, all the female zombies saw the mental Tentacles provided by Ling Mo.
During his previous battle with the Air Force Corps pursuit team, Ling Mo experimented with this new method of usage.
God
He opened a battlefield with invisible mental Tentacles, then used the shared field of view with Black Silk as a mediator.
When the female zombies needed to switch positions or utilize the tentacles, due to their profound mental connection, Ling Mo could sense where they were about to land in the first instance.
Materialization!
Instant materialization allowed them to leverage mid-air for maneuvers, or even create an effect akin to teleportation!
Only someone with Ling Mos intensity of mental power could sustain such an expenditure!
Sky Strangle The first real combined battalion tactic after mastering Puppet Control ability!
A cold smile appeared on Ling Mos lips as he looked towards the man who, despite being surrounded by countless red tentacles, was still struggling.
