Chapter 1218: Imprisoned in the Secret Chamber

In the pitch-black passage… the dust that had not yet fully settled still floated in the air. Besides that, the air was thick with the stench of blood, mixed with other strange odors. For example, the Host Body that had suddenly exploded earlier… and, at this moment, the only human present…

“I’m really curious…” After being escorted into the passage, the Female Zombie first glanced into the depths, then suddenly asked with a meaningful expression, “How exactly did you get mixed up with these Zombies? And… the scent on you seems to have many unusual aspects… But, there’s no doubt that you’re human. So here’s the question: what secret are you hiding?”

“You’re really good at turning the tables here… But if I were you, I’d save my energy to be curious about something else.” Ling Mo took it from Yu Shiran’s hand, smiled at her, and then, without warning, suddenly pressed her against the wall. But after he let go, the Female Zombie found herself still pinned to the wall. She tried to move her neck, only to realize that some invisible force was restraining her.

“So this is… your ability…” The Female Zombie struggled twice, then gave up helplessly. She stared at Ling Mo, her gaze cold and carrying the unique cruelty Zombies showed when looking at humans, “Speaking of which, most secret chamber imprisonment games start just like this… You really know your way around this, huh. Alright, tell me, what do you think I should be curious about?”

“Hmm… For example, what I might do to you to extract all your secrets.” Ling Mo showed a faint, calm smile and said in a deep voice, “Just like what you’re seeing now… I’m a superhuman with a mental ability. Besides immobilizing you, I can do a lot more. I think this makes our respective positions very clear, doesn’t it?”

The Female Zombie stared at Ling Mo for a few moments, then burst out laughing: “Hahaha… A human turning around to intimidate a Zombie, this is a first for me… First you deliberately let me see your power, then you straightforwardly state your demands… You really are a master at imprisonment…”

“If you could drop that line of thinking… maybe our conversation could be a bit more pleasant.” Ling Mo said.

“Hehehehe… Pear was tampered with by you, wasn’t she?” the Female Zombie suddenly asked.

Ling Mo’s pupils contracted slightly, but he didn’t answer right away.

The Female Zombie asked again, “If I’m not mistaken… Ban Yue has also been captured alive, right?”

“Mm.” Ling Mo finally nodded.

The Female Zombie was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said slowly, “You could have interrogated them… but you didn’t. Of course, you probably already got what you wanted from… let me think. It should be Pear, right? From the moment Ban Yue sensed something happened to her, to the time you showed up, that was enough time for you to ask everything. The more you act like this, the more it shows you know some information only I possess, right? But I can’t figure out-how are you so sure of that?”

The answer was actually quite simple…

“In Pear’s memory fragments, I didn’t see anything related to this Female Zombie. Although memory fragments are inherently incomplete, for someone so close to Ban Yue to not leave a deep impression in her mind, it can only mean two things. One, she doesn’t like this Zombie, so she selectively ignores her. Two, this Zombie hasn’t done, or hasn’t had anything special happen to her.”

“Given the behavior of this Female Zombie, the second point seems very unreasonable. She’s clearly not an ordinary Zombie…”

“So the real answer is…”

“You’re deliberately pretending.” Ling Mo suddenly spoke.

As soon as he said this, the Female Zombie was visibly stunned.

“Why?” Ling Mo scrutinized her with a suspicious look. “You didn’t follow them for any Host Body… What is your real purpose? And who are you, really? Think carefully before you answer. You should know it’s hard for you to lie, but if you start dodging the question, I might have to use some methods I’d rather not.” Ŕ𝘢𐌽ОΒΕş

“I’m afraid it’s not that you don’t want to… but that those methods have certain drawbacks, right?” the Female Zombie retorted coldly.

Ling Mo smiled, tacitly admitting it.

Indeed… unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to forcibly perform Reading. The results obtained that way were far too uncertain… But, the other party didn’t know that! She was smart… but when it came to things with no clues at all, she was still at a loss. As for those so-called drawbacks, there were too many possible explanations…

After staring at Ling Mo for a while, she couldn’t read anything from his face, so she could only withdraw her gaze in disappointment and said, “Alright… I followed them, but my purpose isn’t the same as theirs. But that… Dominant Level Zombie? He is, indeed. Only after I joined did I persuade him. So to be precise, he’s just my Pawn. As for my purpose… of course it’s evolution. All Zombies are after that… But that’s just what I think; the one behind me might not think the same…”

“Behind you?!” Ling Mo had been using his Tentacle to sense her psychic fluctuation, and at these words, he was suddenly shocked. This Zombie has someone behind her?! What kind of world is this! Zombies are starting to get organized… And what surprised him even more was how direct this Female Zombie was-she’d just decided to confess and immediately sold out her own background…

“You’re interested now?” The Female Zombie smiled at him and said, “Of course there’s someone behind me… Otherwise, do you think you’re the first human I’ve tried to recruit for cooperation? If not, then where did the other humans I’ve met go?”

That’s right! He couldn’t be the first one she’s tried to recruit! There’s no guarantee that some humans, for the sake of survival, wouldn’t choose to cooperate with Zombies…

And as soon as she said this, Ling Mo immediately thought of that Survivor who was taken away by the Giant Zombie…

That guy…

“No, what she’s saying…”

Ling Mo quickly snapped out of his chaotic thoughts, stared at the Female Zombie, and suddenly asked, “You’re not confessing-you want me dead, don’t you?”
