Chapter 1198: The Old-fashioned Way of Striking Up a Conversation

In the dimly lit warehouse, the two sides were confronting each other, one above and one below. Lying between them was a corpse with wide-open eyes, having just breathed its last…

“Am I right?” The shadow paused for a moment at this point, then took a deep breath and said with a hint of intoxication, “It smells so good…” She even licked her lips, stepped forward with her left foot, and instantly stepped into the slowly spreading pool of blood.

“Haha…” She laughed softly as she watched the blood droplets splash.

Ling Mo immediately felt a chill… This Female Zombie was really quite frank!

“Well… answer me! Are you going to keep silent on this question too?” The shadow continued, “Fine, I already knew you weren’t a friendly person… I’ll just treat it as talking to myself.”

“…” She actually started talking about being friendly with me! But this Zombie girl, do you really know what ‘friendly’ means?! It definitely doesn’t mean staring hungrily at your companion’s corpse like that! You look like you can barely hold back from eating it while it’s still warm!

Ling Mo muttered inwardly… but on the surface, he still didn’t say a word. This Zombie girl was tough both in combat and intelligence, and at the same time appeared both calm and crazy… Without seeing through her, Ling Mo wasn’t about to act rashly… And for some reason, as he stared at her figure, Ling Mo suddenly felt a faint sense of familiarity…

“Could it be… I know her? But who could it be? This voice, I should be hearing it for the first time… But at least one thing is certain. She’s not the Spider Queen! So the one hiding in the wilderness before, was that her?” Ling Mo wondered suspiciously.

Sure enough, the Female Zombie started talking to herself again, analyzing excitedly, “As I see it… you must have tested him first… When your attacks were almost ineffective, you still kept using the same attack pattern, just to keep perfecting the results you got from him… Speed, strength, frequency of counterattacks, as well as the defensive capability and recovery ability of his skin and muscles… But that’s not your main goal, just one of them.”

“So what exactly do you want to do?” The Female Zombie showed a playful smile, “My companion couldn’t see it, but I did. You wanted… while getting familiar with him, to let him get familiar with you too. Right? You deliberately raised your attack by a level, but made him think that was your limit. And what you were waiting for next was for him, after getting used to your attack style, to unleash a powerful attack… Maybe not his limit, but definitely most of his strength. And all this was to hit you in one go and break the stalemate!”

“But he didn’t expect… you still had the potential to get stronger. But even if he miscalculated there, it didn’t matter. As soon as he started falling, he was already angrily gathering even more strength. And this time, it was his full power. In his mind, if you didn’t have more strength, you’d be dead next time… But what he didn’t know was, the real surprise wasn’t that, but something else… Before he exploded, at the instant he landed… before he could use that force to bounce himself to the Ceiling, he’d already fallen into your trap.”

The Female Zombie let out another soft laugh and shook her head: “Amazing… Hundreds of useless attacks for one good opportunity, and it was these seemingly futile struggles that let you figure out his falling trajectory and tamper with his landing spot in advance. Not only that, to keep him from noticing, you even precisely calculated his landing time, then triggered the trap in that brief instant. Besides that, your outburst just now was also part of your calculations. Not just to block him, but to enrage him and distract him, so that in his shock he’d ignore the environment… So this is what they mean by cunning humans, right? Hehe, don’t get me wrong, I’m complimenting you… So, can you tell me, did I guess right?”

“Heh… Who knows.” Ling Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched and unclenched his palm, and replied in a muffled voice. But inside, he was in turmoil… This Female Zombie… who the hell is she? And how long has she been watching from the side! No… even if she saw it with her own eyes, it’s hard to see through all the details in such a short time, right? Besides, why did she deliberately say all this? To show off…?

“Sigh, so stingy, after I was so honest with you. As a human, don’t you know about reciprocity?” The Female Zombie sighed, then suddenly smiled and raised her hand. As her arm lifted higher and higher, her face slowly tilted up as well.

“I’ve said so much, you should be clear by now, right? In front of me, all your tricks are useless. And I… know everything about you.” Swish! The Female Zombie’s finger suddenly pointed at Ling Mo, then gently moved aside and finally settled on Ye Lian, “That thing… she ate it, right? Honestly, I’m not here for you, but as for her… I’ve set my sights on her…”

The Female Zombie said softly with a smile.

Ye Lian immediately shrank behind Ling Mo… and Ling Mo, standing in front, was now wearing a look of shock!

“It’s her?!”

This Female Zombie who appeared here… was actually someone he knew!

She was even wearing a maid outfit that Ling Mo found quite familiar… Only now, the style had changed to a black cheongsam pattern, and her hair was done up in two buns on her head. With that fair face and blood-stained red lips, she looked like a bizarre puppet doll placed in the shadows.

But the biggest change was her expression… That once wooden face now had a chilling liveliness. Her red eyes were filled with bloodlust, and her lips curled into a cold, sinister smile. This smile was different from the one Xia Na always wore… Xia Na’s smile made people uneasy, even scared, but it wouldn’t make you uncomfortable just to look at it. But her… it was a real skin-deep smile, with no warmth at all, full of killing intent, as if she was seeing something bloody, exuding a kind of instinctive, Monster-like pleasure. Being stared at by her felt like you had become a plate of food, and she was sitting in front of you with a knife and fork…

“Mm…” After a few seconds of this stalemate, the Female Zombie’s smile faded, she licked her bloodstained lips again, snorted coldly, and said, “What… are you scared by how I look after eating? Or have you decided not to say a word to a Monster like me? Or… are you thinking, if you hand her over to me, will I be generous enough to let you go? But you’re worried I won’t do that… so you’re hesitating, wondering if you should use her to bargain with me?”

“Hehe… so what’s your answer?” the Female Zombie asked.

However… Ling Mo’s gaze toward her suddenly became complicated, and he probed, “Do you… still recognize me?”

“How could I know you, just answer… hmm?” The Female Zombie suddenly looked Ling Mo over carefully, “From what you said… you know me? And I should know you too?” But she quickly laughed, “Hey, is this your response? Using such an old-fashioned way to strike up a conversation, trying to get close to me and distract me…” ŗ𝒶ΝОＢΕṥ

“Black Silk?” Ling Mo blurted out a name.

The Female Zombie was clearly stunned for a moment… But under Ling Mo’s expectant gaze, she suddenly frowned and said coldly, “Stop joking, who would have such a weird name? Besides… I’ve been waiting for her for a long time, and all you do is beat around the bush… Do you know…”

Her hand pointing at Ye Lian suddenly clenched into a fist, and her expression grew colder and colder: “This is really embarrassing, you know…”
