Chapter 1278: Discovered!

In an instant, Ling Mo suddenly realized that he might have overlooked something…

At this moment, the woman on the other end of the Communicator had also finished her report. What surprised Ling Mo was that during this time, the Black Man had actually taken a few steps back, seemingly avoiding this scene.

This immediately made Ling Mo think of a term: single-line contact. The connection between Chief of Staff Wang and these people seemed to be maintained solely through this woman…

After a few seconds of silence, a young man’s voice finally came from the other end. As soon as he spoke, Ling Mo felt his scalp tingle… This was the Chief of Staff Wang who would stop at nothing, by any means, to kill him…

Chief of Staff Wang’s voice was not loud. After weighing his options, Ling Mo decided to control the Zombie Puppet to get a bit closer. Chief of Staff Wang’s voice gradually reached his ears…

This person’s tone sounded very gentle, but the content carried a cold undertone. It felt as if this person was an automatic answering machine, and everything he said seemed to be programmed with icy logic.

“…Is that so? There’s actually such a Survivor here… Very interesting,” Chief of Staff Wang said.

The woman asked, “This person’s identity… could there be a problem?” Although she had already analyzed it just now, she clearly couldn’t make such a crucial decision on her own. This also allowed Ling Mo to further confirm the man’s identity…

“Based on the information we have so far… the likelihood of him being a Survivor is as high as ninety percent… But as long as there’s a ten percent suspicion, we can’t fully trust him,” Chief of Staff Wang said without hesitation.

Ling Mo was not surprised by this result… The other party was too suspicious; it was impossible to lure him in completely. The important thing was the deal… As long as he was interested in the deal, that was enough…

Sure enough, the woman then asked, “Then about this person’s proposal?”

“That’s the interesting part. If he’s with Ling Mo’s group, then he already has a lot of our Intelligence. If he can’t hold back, maybe he’d have already come knocking by now. Of course, he’s more likely to be a Survivor… In that case, it’s all about profit for him. We might as well look at this issue from two perspectives… If he’s with Ling Mo’s group, what should we do? If he’s a Survivor, how should we respond?” Chief of Staff Wang calmly posed a question.

“This…” The woman hesitated, while Ling Mo frowned.

This Wang… his way of thinking really is tricky…

He doesn’t let go of any loophole, considers every possibility, no matter how small the chance. He would never take risks lightly…

But it’s precisely this personality that allows the situation to be guided by Ling Mo, turning into this seemingly complicated state. The more complicated things are for Chief of Staff Wang’s group, the simpler they are for Ling Mo. So what he wants is to stir the waters as much as possible…

Now, it all depends on what Chief of Staff Wang will do…

“This matter isn’t actually troublesome. Just go with the flow,” Chief of Staff Wang chuckled lightly and said. “Whether this person is with Ling Mo’s group or not doesn’t matter. We just need to use him as a Pawn.”

“Then… how should we reply?” the woman asked again.

“Tell him… the deal is on. He needs to first hand over part of the Intelligence that Chen Wen has… I want it written by Chen Wen himself. As for whether it’s forced or not, I’ll judge for myself. Considering this is a relatively long-term deal, I’m willing to show my sincerity as well. But in the second stage of this deal, what I need him to investigate isn’t those people… but a place.”

“That hospital,” Chief of Staff Wang said.

Ling Mo was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed a cold smile.

This person… truly cunning!

Without a traitor and unable to get close, he had to rely on investigation to determine whether Ling Mo was hiding among Mu Chen’s group. But if he had a capable, third-party Pawn, he could directly probe the hospital. ᚱä𐌽ÖВΕS

This was an almost foolproof approach. Because whether this “Survivor” was with Ling Mo’s side or not, as long as there was Intelligence from Chen Wen as evidence, whatever he submitted would be useful. Either he exposed his own identity, or he exposed Ling Mo’s group’s location.

While Ling Mo was pondering, he suddenly vaguely heard some sounds coming from Chief of Staff Wang’s side. But those sounds were even softer than his speaking voice. To hear more clearly, Ling Mo had to secretly move a bit closer.

However, at that moment, the woman suddenly raised her head!

She was still holding the Communicator, but her eyes were fixed on Ling Mo’s direction.

Ling Mo’s movements instantly froze.

In the next second, he suddenly retreated sharply.

At the same time, a surge of psychic energy swept out from the woman as its center.

“Hurry up! Hurry up!”

Ling Mo pushed the Zombie Puppet’s speed to the limit. The moment he burst out of the inner room’s door, he already caught sight of the door outside. However, that surge of psychic energy was almost upon him!

At this critical moment, Ling Mo had only one choice…

“Whoosh!”

A psychic tentacle shot out abruptly and crashed heavily into the pursuing psychic energy.

With a silent, thunderous boom, the two energies instantly canceled each other out.

The woman’s face turned pale, and she let out a muffled groan beyond her control.

Taking advantage of this brief pause, Ling Mo’s Zombie Puppet darted out of the room and quickly climbed onto the outer wall, sliding down at lightning speed.

Just a second later, an even stronger wave of psychic energy spread from that room, rapidly sweeping across the entire campus.

But this energy only reached the edge of the fence before it suddenly dissipated…

“Phew…”

Ling Mo’s Zombie Puppet pressed tightly against the fence, breathing softly.

After the energy fluctuations completely faded, he carefully stuck close to the fence and various obstacles as he left…

Inside the room, the woman’s muffled groan was clearly transmitted through the Communicator. The Black Man immediately looked up at her in surprise, then turned and rushed out. But what made him frown was that even after chasing all the way to the corridor, he saw no sign of anyone. And those Snipers didn’t react at all.

Almost at the same time as the woman’s failed pursuit, Chief of Staff Wang’s voice sounded: “You were attacked? By whom?”

His voice was extremely calm, not even asking about the woman’s injuries, and the woman only replied indifferently, “It should be that Survivor. Just now I sensed someone spying, and wanted to use psychic power to check, but unexpectedly collided with another psychic power.”

“The room you’re in should have a psychic power warning net…” Chief of Staff Wang said.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I’m concerned about. If psychic power broke in, I should have sensed it no matter what. But the fact is, this energy seemed to appear out of thin air…” the woman shook her head.

After a moment of silence, Chief of Staff Wang said, “This must be the reason he said he could naturally know… If this kind of hidden psychic power is the Superpower the other side possesses, then he does qualify to negotiate with us.”

At this point, he smiled, “Now it seems, this person is indeed quite interesting. However…” his tone shifted, “I don’t particularly like things full of intrigue. So… it’s best if this doesn’t happen again. Also, make sure to interact with him properly. I estimate… the time until this matter is resolved isn’t far off…”

“Understood.” The woman paused for a second, then nodded with a muffled voice.

A “beep beep beep” busy tone immediately came from the other end of the Communicator, while the woman still held up her arm, her expression changing slightly…

“It should be safe here, right?”

On a street several hundred meters away from the elementary school, Ling Mo slowed the Zombie Puppet’s pace. After passing a few Zombies that looked his way, he sat down outside a shop.

The Zombie Puppet’s stamina was still abundant, but Ling Mo’s main body’s nerves were stretched too tight… In those one or two seconds just now, he had relied entirely on his immediate reactions. He really hadn’t expected the woman’s Sensing to be so sharp…

However…

“At least I heard it…”

Even though it was just a single sound, that noise was definitely the sound of wind…

Ling Mo controlled the Zombie Puppet to stretch out its hand, feeling the airflow around, and thought to himself, “There was no wind sound around the school just now, and there’s no wind here either… For the wind sound to come through the Communicator, it must have been quite loud. Which means, Wang is either standing somewhere very high, or in a windy area…”

He looked around to both sides, then thought, “And I… am more inclined to the latter…”

Although this place is near the mountains, it’s not particularly windy… And as for very high places, there aren’t many options in this town…

“No matter how much someone thinks, there are always blind spots in their reasoning… Wang, the background noise you carry is the biggest flaw you’ve exposed so far…”

Ling Mo’s main body almost stood up at once, and at the same time said in his mind, “Pear, it’s your turn to act.”

“The second biggest flaw is that you always thought we were split into at most two teams, one with Mu Chen, and the other possibly with the traitor and Fang Zhou. But actually, even if you’ve confirmed the first two, there’s a third team you could never have known about…”
