My Girlfriend is a Zombie - Chapter 1113: Boiling a Frog in Warm Water

“Where exactly is it wrong…” Ling Mo’s thoughts spun rapidly. “Think carefully, if I wanted to ambush myself, how would I do it? The enemy is also a mental ability user, so any obvious trap would definitely be discovered. But if I wanted to set it up completely in the dark, it wouldn’t be that easy…”

“So the best way is to proceed step by step! Make sure the other side doesn’t notice anything at first… That’s it! That aura! The reason that Zombie did that wasn’t just to provoke me, but also to cover something up! Yes, that’s it! So here’s the question… At the door just now, what did I overlook?”

Ling Mo carefully recalled, relying on his memory to replay everything he had just seen without missing a single detail… But no matter how he thought about it, Ling Mo couldn’t find any suspicious point he might have missed… In fact, having survived until now, he had long developed an extremely meticulous habit of observation, and this was something he could do subconsciously, without even trying…

But everyone has weaknesses, there must be something he touched but didn’t notice. Since the suspicious point in the dark can’t be seen, then the trap set by the other side must be placed in the blind spot of his thinking and vision… “Then let’s think from another angle… What’s here? Walls… murky air… mucus… Spider Eggs… Spider Silk… Right, Spider Silk!” The resistance just now also came from the Spider Silk! But soon, Ling Mo shook his head: “No, there’s nothing wrong with the Spider Silk… I’ve already checked it… Wait. I did check it, but I only looked… It’s normal for Spider Silk to appear here. So most people would just glance at it a couple of times and wouldn’t suspect anything further. So the most likely problem is actually the Spider Silk!”

This line of thinking seems convoluted, but that’s exactly what’s called a double blind spot! That Zombie is surprisingly good at playing this game!

Ling Mo quickly turned around, his figure flickering as he appeared among the Spider Silk. After a round of inspection, he indeed found the problem here… The Spider Silk itself was fine. But among these strands of Spider Silk, there were clusters of psychic light points…

These light spots were extremely tiny, even if Ling Mo focused his attention, it was hard to spot them among so much Spider Silk, unless he had closed his eyes from the start, shielding himself from external Interference. But for a normal human, that’s simply impossible. First, if you close your eyes, you can’t get through the Spider Silk… Second, seeing such a disgusting scene, how could you possibly close your eyes and walk through? Damn, this is pure mental torture! Just thinking about a Spider possibly dropping down at any moment, or constantly getting a face full of Spider Silk, is enough to make anyone anxious, even break down… Chapters first released on N()velFire.net

“I get it. His trap was designed for us. But too bad, he probably never imagined that the one coming would be neither a Zombie nor a human, not even a real existing being… But I have to admit, this Zombie is truly cunning…”

At first, these light spots appeared very sparsely, and didn’t cause any harm to Ling Mo’s psychic power. But the further in, the more numerous the light spots became. By the time the intruder finally realized something was wrong, it would probably be too late…

Ling Mo found those light spots on his own spiritual body… As soon as they stuck to the spiritual body, they immediately camouflaged themselves, making them hard to detect. Fortunately, Ling Mo was “seeing” the world with psychic power, so although these light spots had no sense of presence, he could see them directly with his “naked eye”…

He swept all these light spots off, but didn’t rush to destroy them…

“So this Zombie plans to boil the frog in warm water

1

… Probably, when these light spots accumulate to a certain number, he can take someone down effortlessly. That’s what a time bomb is all about… If a group of people barged in, even if they didn’t encounter any danger along the way, they’d suddenly collapse before they could react… By then, he’d have settled everything without a scratch. What a calculation!”…

I have to say, even though they haven’t met yet, this Progenitor Zombie has already made it into Ling Mo’s top three “most troublesome Zombies” so far… When a Zombie has physique, psychic power, and Intelligence all at once, it’s truly a tough opponent…

“I can understand how Mu Chen and the others feel now… But since this Zombie failed to mess with us, it’s time to let him taste the bitter fruit he sowed…”

Ling Mo stared at the light spots and let out a cold laugh, then split off a Tentacle, which quickly morphed into a pouch… Or rather, something that barely counted as a pouch, and then he stuffed all those light spots into it…

Then he headed upward, continuously collecting these light spots… Every two steps, he would shield himself from external information, relying entirely on psychic power for Sensing. This way, he could collect all the light spots. In no time, his psychic power pouch had to be expanded twice… And the more he collected, the more wary Ling Mo became of that Progenitor. To be able to split his psychic power into such tiny fragments and control and disguise each one, just the sheer volume of processing was already astonishing.

And the reason this Progenitor Zombie could do this was clearly due to the Zombie’s special ability, that is, perfect memory… Compared to humans, Zombies are actually much better at processing information, it’s just that their thinking ability is far inferior to humans. But in this Progenitor Zombie, that weakness clearly no longer exists…

Thinking this, Ling Mo carefully entered the second-floor Corridor. Just then, a scream suddenly came from one end of the Corridor.

“Ah! Help!”

It was a woman’s scream, sounding like she was desperately shouting with her mouth covered, and it was extremely shrill…

But even so, it was still recognizable as Gu Shuangshuang’s voice…

“Over there?”

Ling Mo immediately turned, his body darting forward, and in the next moment appeared more than ten meters away. At this time, the scream was still ongoing, and it was coming from behind the door right in front of him… He glanced at the door, Sensing for a moment, then slipped his body inside…

This was Ling Mo’s first time controlling a psychic puppet to pass through a wall… But unfortunately, he had no mood to savor the experience… However, the instant he passed through the wall, he felt as if this invisible body had forcibly squeezed through a small hole, and instantly felt much lighter…

Footnote:

1. Boil the Frog in Warm Water(温水煮青蛙):

   A metaphor that refers to a situation where gradual changes go unnoticed until it’s too late to react. It suggests that if a frog is placed in gradually heated water, it won’t jump out until it’s too late.
