My Girlfriend is a Zombie

…At this moment, on the rooftop of the building, a dark gun barrel was aimed downward.

The confusion in Ye Lian’s eyes had completely disappeared. She was staring intently at the bushes below, where a figure was cautiously looking around, moving with astonishing speed…

“Just… one shot…” Ye Lian murmured, her pupils contracting with a peculiar intensity…

At the same time, the Youth’s gaze shifted from the signpost to the basket.

He held onto the piece of paper, his expression fluctuating between emotions.

Moments later, he suddenly threw the paper to the ground angrily, exclaiming, “What a twisted sense of humor!”

If it weren’t for his concerns about Ling Mo, he would have wanted to find the guy creating the Illusion right then and there…

The message on the paper was simple-

“This is the home of humans, and you’ve wanted to devour them for a long time. Right now is an unmissable opportunity, go for it, Big Bad Wolf!”

“Who’s the Big Bad Wolf! Who’s going to cooperate with you! If you want to fight, then fight properly, what’s the point of playing such tricks!”

The Youth exhaled deeply, finally calming down.

“Stay calm… must stay calm… otherwise, my psychic fluctuation will be thrown off before I’ve even faced Ling Mo.”

He quickly understood the purpose of the Illusion, one being to separate them, and the other specifically targeting him.

These chaotic messages served as an Interference, causing his mind to become unsettled.

But if he didn’t look… who knew if Ling Mo was hiding among these “clues”?

So the significance of this move was actually quite substantial…

But this feeling left the Youth extremely frustrated. Being tricked after coming here was something he had anticipated, but he hadn’t expected that Ling Mo wouldn’t show up at all. His fighting spirit landed nowhere, and even his thirst for secrets was forcibly suppressed, leaving no outlet…

It’s infuriating!

“The best way is to first deal with the person constructing the Illusion, but they must be hiding very secretly… A less preferable option is to follow their intent, which would quickly lead to Ling Mo, allowing me to deal with him.”

Several thoughts flashed through the Youth’s mind as he looked uncertainly at the window, thinking, “Although it’s rather mysterious, it’s also a very obvious signal. Are they asking me to go over there?”

After thinking for a moment, he reluctantly picked up the basket.

Since he had decided to temporarily go along with things, he couldn’t waste his psychic power on trivial matters…

With this basket, there would be no need to force his way through…

However, as soon as he picked up the basket, the Youth had a strange feeling.

“Why does it feel… a bit sticky?”

He paused in his steps, his expression darkening.

He took a deep breath and shook his head vigorously, “Don’t think about it, don’t think about it! Although this basket must be something transformed by the Illusion, there should be many objects with a similar texture…”

But the breath he took in only made the Youth’s expression even more somber.

“It smells so bad…”

…

As he pushed the door open, a black hand suddenly reached out from the crack.

The Youth was startled, his psychic power nearly breaking away from the Light Cluster.

However, he quickly regained his composure and began to contemplate the outstretched hand.

After a moment of thought, he handed over the basket.

The hand disappeared after taking the basket, and a couple of seconds later, the door creaked open slowly…

Looking into the dark interior, the Youth showed a hint of hesitation.

“I feel like I’m being led by the nose, but if I don’t follow his way, it’s not easy to directly find Ling Mo… He must already understand my psychic superpower and is surely on guard…”

With no other choice, the Youth stepped inside.

“Boom!”

As the door closed, the Youth froze.

A strong psychic fluctuation surged from behind him, accompanied by the voice of a little girl.

“Sure enough, you were lured in…”

A flash of red flickered at the edge of his vision, while a glint of cold steel quietly approached the back of his neck.

“Damn it!”

The Youth felt a wave of panic wash over him. Despite his caution, he hadn’t expected the ambush to come so swiftly.

With a press of his finger, a psychic shock burst forth, shattering the cold glint and allowing the Youth to quickly leap several steps to the side.

He warily eyed the shadow in front of him. Accompanied by lively footsteps, a bouncing figure gradually appeared before his eyes.

Yet, he wasn’t focusing on the Phantom itself but on the countless blood-colored tentacles emerging from it…

The psychic power contained within the Phantom wasn’t particularly strong, which confirmed his suspicion that the Illusion’s creator had been excessively drained. However, those tentacles were entirely formed from psychic power, each possessing a certain impact capability.

Moreover, more psychic tentacles kept emerging from the surroundings, swiftly blocking the entrance and exit completely.

“So… they just wanted to lure me in!”

The Youth’s heart pounded in his chest. It was precisely because of this Illusion that his attention was diverted.

He wasn’t reckless; on the contrary, he was a very cautious person.

But this caution had been invested into dealing with the Illusion, which is why he hadn’t noticed the more straightforward and brutal trap hidden within it.

Insidious! This person was truly insidious!

With layers of deception, he’d been caught in this trap twice, each time with ruthless precision.

And now he realized this person likely didn’t intend to kill him directly but rather to capture him alive…

“Same goal as mine, but… do you really think you can trap me like this?”

A vicious look appeared on the Youth’s face as he raised his hand, swiftly moving toward the little girl Phantom.

But as he made his move, hundreds of tentacles surged forward, rushing toward him all at once.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Silent sonic booms echoed one after another, as the psychic power collisions sent ripples across the entire building.

However, these ripples weakened considerably when penetrating the walls due to the physical barriers.

Otherwise, just the shockwaves alone would cause significant Interference to those without mental ability…

This was precisely why Ling Mo chose this location!

While he wouldn’t be greatly affected, his mental state was somewhat peculiar.

A few Tentacles remained extended, maintaining a psychic link with Ye Lian and the others.

The Youth’s psychic power had an exceptionally strong impact capability. If caught in its sweep, it was uncertain whether it might lead to the collapse of the psychic link.

These Tentacles, after long-term association, had tightly intertwined Ling Mo’s mind with Ye Lian and the others. If the psychic link were to break, they might still control their instincts, but whether their psychic light clusters would be affected was something Ling Mo himself could not be certain about.

To Ling Mo, this was his greatest vulnerability.

And this Youth had the power to attack that vulnerability!

However, after probing initially, the Youth had become somewhat wary of him, and Ling Mo was exploiting that very hesitation.

“But even if you trap me here, there’s no way you can take me down with just this bit of psychic power!”

The Youth’s psychic power continuously flowed from his fingertips. From his eyes, faint streaks of red began to surface, and with these blood streaks, his mental energy grew increasingly formidable!

The little girl’s figure started to collapse, and the surrounding Tentacles began to dissipate bit by bit.

Moreover, as the Youth attacked, his psychic power forcibly merged into these light points.

“Reading!”

Anything released from a psychic light cluster could not be purely mental energy.

In fact, these Tentacles wouldn’t actively attack him unless they contained the will of the releaser.

The Youth’s superpower had strong invasive qualities. Although he couldn’t devour this energy, he could deeply read the will and memories contained within.

The important secret might not necessarily be in these light points, but there were bound to be clues within them!

“Ling Mo, you’d never guess why I’m not afraid of you, would you? I’m not worried about your attacks at all. In fact, I wish you would attack me. The moment you make a move, I can start Reading! Even though you outsmarted me, you couldn’t have known that all of this was actually part of my plan…”

The Youth flashed a sly smile. From the moment he connected the dots about that secret, the mission had become secondary to him.

Joining Falcon, after all, was essentially about staying alive, wasn’t it?

But if he could obtain this secret, he’d be able to live much better…

A hundred meters away, pinned to the ground by Xia Na, Kaili struggled and spoke, “That secret is… why Ling Mo can safely move in and out of areas teeming with Zombies!”

“He’s supposedly just a superhuman with a mental ability. Even if he was with you all, facing a large number of Zombies, he shouldn’t be so at ease… Once, he made a deal with a Squad from Falcon, helping them acquire some medicine. At first, not many paid attention to this, but Chief of Staff Wang noticed this detail while reviewing records. He even visited that building once, and after returning, he became intensely interested in Ling Mo…”

“Every Member who had interacted with Ling Mo was investigated one by one by him. Afterward, he was more convinced than ever that Ling Mo must have something special about him… Even if he can’t avoid all the Zombies, being able to evade some would be a huge boon for anyone, right?”

Listening to Kaili’s account, Xia Na showed a moment of contemplation.

“Ling-Ge is very cautious, but this Chief of Staff Wang, he’s quite calculating too…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
