Chapter 1112: The Unfolding Blood Web
While this chatterbox of a “subconscious” was still rambling on, Ling Mo had already controlled the psychic puppet Xiao Hei to enter the Dormitory Building… The moment he stepped into the Corridor, Ling Mo keenly sensed an unusual aura. But the other party was like a pair of eyes opening in the darkness, staring at Ling Mo with urgent greed for a moment before slowly withdrawing…
However, the message the other party wanted to convey couldn’t be clearer: “The person you want is right here with me. If you have the guts, come and get them…”
“Tsk, really can’t wait, huh. A Zombie actually playing the waiting game-your behavior is practically anti-Zombie…” This was the first time Ling Mo had encountered such a situation, but knowing the other party was hiding nearby actually made him breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed his previous speculations were all correct. Clearly, this Progenitor Zombie was determined to get him. Therefore, before he was caught, Gu Shuangshuang and the others were safe.
Moreover, the cautious attitude of this Progenitor Zombie was exactly what Ling Mo needed… What he feared most was that this Zombie would rush out and fight them to the death. But now, letting Xia Na and the others charge in first had indeed worked. Out of concern for the three Senior Zombies, that clever Progenitor Zombie chose to avoid the confrontation for now, and this move gave Ling Mo a precious window of opportunity…
“Alright, you just keep hiding. I’ll take a look around your place first…” Ling Mo drifted forward slowly, while his psychic tentacles gradually extended outward… From Xia Na’s perspective, Xiao Hei at this moment looked like a massive Dark Shadow sprouting countless tentacles…
“I told you, I’m the embodiment of ‘me’-the voyeur and the dark side. Remember that monster Xia Na mentioned? It appears in a lot of world-saving blockbusters…”
“Shut up!”
“Hey, hey, I’m talking about a giant octopus. Where’s your mind going… And you’re even unconsciously replaying the scenes in your head, that’s shameless… But you really do remember it so clearly…”
“Nonsense! Don’t I know what I want to say? You’re arguing with yourself in front of yourself! And aren’t you the one who wrote all this down!”
After Ling Mo finished shouting, he helplessly realized he was arguing with himself again… Looks like the evolution switch issue was becoming urgent…
“I’ve always been curious, why do some people have trouble getting along with themselves…”
“…”
“I know you’re cursing me…”
“…”
“Alright, I won’t bother you anymore. But remember, you’re the one who woke me up, so stop cursing me… You sure have a lot of insults popping up in your head…” Ling Mo couldn’t help but take a deep breath, “Calm down. Stay calm… Treat this mess as a test… If you think about it, isn’t this the legendary deviation? I can get through this! I just need to stop thinking about it and focus on the real task…”
By now, he had already moved some distance down the Corridor and had a clear view of the environment. The Corridor was empty, and Spiderwebs covered every corner, densely packed. On the floor was a layer of hard shell; Ling Mo looked down and found these were some kind of mucus condensate. This immediately reminded Ling Mo of the scene when the Human-headed Spider laid eggs right in front of them…
“Damn, that was my first time witnessing a birth process up close…” Ling Mo shuddered, shook his head hard, then froze for a moment, “Wait… The subconscious might be right… Now, no matter what I recall, the corresponding images pop up in my mind… It’s not exactly immersive, but the memories are definitely clearer…”
“Uh… So that wasn’t just a side effect? So, after that last evolution, besides Xiao Hei forming the prototype of Flame Armor, I also got stronger memory and an annoying subconscious voice… Thinking about it, I don’t even know if I should call this a loss or a gain…” Ling Mo thought, head aching.
But the memory replay really helped Ling Mo… He figured out the answer almost instantly: these condensates were the Liquid that flowed out of the Spider Eggs after the Human-headed Spider laid them… If he hadn’t recalled the scene, Ling Mo wouldn’t have been so sure…
“So… this place is… the big Spider’s birthing room?!”
Ling Mo immediately thought of the Spider gathering place that woman had mentioned… Judging by the condensates on the floor, what she said was very likely referring to this place. And the reason she told them about this place first, then led them here, was clearly to hit them with a strong psychological blow…
“Really well played… A Zombie so sinister it’s downright deranged…” Ling Mo was also deeply wary of this Progenitor Zombie, and when he reached the stairway to the second floor, the thickness of the condensate on the ground had reached an astonishing half a foot…
“So after turning into a Spider, that thing did nothing but lay eggs! That’s way too fertile!” Seeing the scene on the stairs, Ling Mo couldn’t help but curse.
Aside from the chaotic Spiderwebs, the entire staircase looked like a steep slope covered in mucus. Along the walls and overhead, there were plenty of empty Spider Egg shells. These things were packed so densely that just glancing at them made one’s skin crawl. Worst of all, the mucus here hadn’t even fully solidified yet…
Ling Mo poked at it with a tentacle, then frowned and looked up: “Is it all like this up there?”
To find out, the only way was to go up and see for himself… Luckily, it was just Ling Mo’s spiritual body here, so after forcing down his disgust, he decisively charged upward.
But he vaguely sensed that, passing through those Spider Silk threads, his spiritual body-which shouldn’t have felt anything-actually experienced a slight resistance… Yet when he turned back to sense carefully, he couldn’t detect anything… 𝐫àꞐ𝐎𝐁Ɛş
“Wait… There’s definitely something wrong with this Spider Silk…”
Ling Mo glanced at the increasingly dense Spiderweb above, with almost no gaps left, and stopped in his tracks…
He vaguely felt that the other party had set a trap for him, and if he wasn’t careful, he’d fall right into it without even realizing… Maybe, from the moment he stepped through the door, he’d already set foot into it…
