My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 647: Demonic Whispers in the Ears

Chapter 647: Demonic Whispers in the Ears

“Zombies…” Ai Feng felt every hair on his body stand on end.

However, he couldn’t detect any other issues with Yu Shiran, which aligned with Ling Mo’s judgment.

The problem lay with Black Silk, but Black Silk’s ability to conceal herself was incredibly strong.

Of course, no matter how well she hid, there were bound to be some anomalies. But in such a situation, Ai Feng’s attention was inevitably focused on Yu Shiran.

“Why would there…”

Ai Feng’s mind suddenly became cluttered, something was off about this turnaround!

How could a high-level zombie suddenly appear here and now?!

And what about that black shadow just now? Could it also be the little zombie?

But… how could that be possible?!

In the moment of attacking the shadow, due to its rapid escape and Ling Mo’s exquisitely timed ambush, Ai Feng had failed to get a clear look at what the shadow really was.

What on earth was hiding inside this shopping mall!

Neither the zombie loli nor Ling Mo, hot on her heels, were about to give him the chance to think it through.

Yu Shiran’s head tilted, her figure blurred, and in the next moment, she had already charged in front of Ai Feng.

Simultaneously, countless tentacles unfurled from behind her. Ai Feng still wore a look of astonishment but was no longer able to dodge.

His body was pierced, and as the Mental Sphere was impaled, the zombie loli leaped high in front of him, swinging her tiny fist towards his left eye.

“Huh? A fist?!”

Before losing consciousness, a massive question mark flashed through Ai Feng’s mind.

“Thud!”

The zombie loli’s fist was small, but the strike squarely hit Ai Feng’s left eye, sending him flying.

The stark contrast in their sizes only highlighted her terrifying strength.

As Ai Feng hit the ground, Ling Mo had already rushed over, hastily grabbing the “jellyfish” and yanking vigorously, “Let go, this is mine!”

Whether the “jellyfish” had its own consciousness or not, it shuddered like it had been electrocuted upon Ling Mo’s pull, as if it were struggling.

“Clashing again?” Ling Mo gritted his teeth, a few tentacles stretched out and latched onto it, yanking upwards with force.

Snap!

The “jellyfish” was compelled to detach from Ai Feng’s head, pulsating discontentedly a couple of times.

Ling Mo then turned to look inside it, where a small amount of mental energy it had absorbed was radiating a soft glow only visible to those with mental ability.

“Let’s leave that bit for it then,” Yu Shiran suddenly spoke up.

“Ah?” Ling Mo turned to look at the zombie loli, “Is that your opinion? Or Black Silk’s? You shouldn’t be able to see mental energy, right?”

“Mind your own business…” Yu Shiran bit her lip, thought for a moment, and then said, “How about I don’t take that piece of gel?”

Ling Mo was somewhat surprised. When did the little zombie start considering others?

Strictly speaking, the entity she was concerned about was an unknown monster…

“Don’t look at me like that!” The zombie loli became a bit frantic, feeling odd under Ling Mo’s stare, “It was originally found by me, so I…”

“That’s fine,” Ling Mo nodded.

“I just think everything you say is right… hey, you agree?” Yu Shiran suddenly widened her eyes.

Ling Mo stuffed the “jellyfish” into his backpack and squatted down next to Ai Feng, “Yeah, this might promote its evolution, right? The amount is not much anyway. I’m also quite curious, no idea what it could turn into.”

“Is that so…” Yu Shiran’s expression was somewhat vacant. She didn’t expect her opinion to be taken into account, and for Ling Mo to agree so readily at that.

For a moment, the zombie loli wasn’t sure how to feel, just standing there blankly looking at Ling Mo.

“Hey, human,” Yu Shiran suddenly spoke up, “how do you view zombies?”

Ling Mo, about to concentrate his Mental power, replied without looking up, “What’s up?”

“I don’t know…” The zombie loli muttered softly, then shook her head.

“Right, go help Xiao Bai. Don’t let it come in here, it’ll probably get stuck. Help it down,” Ling Mo added.

Yu Shiran obediently nodded and turned to walk towards the floor-to-ceiling windows.

As she turned away, Yu Shiran couldn’t help but glance back at Ling Mo.

“It’s so strange, just now, for a moment… I felt like this human looked so familiar.” The zombie loli frowned, pondering, and then slowly shook her head.

She felt as though something had suddenly emerged from the depths of her memory, but she couldn’t quite capture what it was…

Once Yu Shiran left, Ling Mo immediately focused his attention on Ai Feng.

His tentacle probed into Ai Feng’s Mental Sphere, carefully investigating the situation.

“What a mess.”

This type of “fusion” was new to Ling Mo; based on his current understanding, the mental world of humans was much more difficult to deal with than that of zombies. It could be destroyed but not controlled.

The mental world of a zombie was like two neat folders, one labeled “Useful, but usually opened the wrong way, so often not used correctly,” and the other “Remembered, but useless, typically unleashing something strange upon opening.”

The human mental world, on the other hand, was full of variables and incredibly complex.

But for someone like Number 0 to insert themselves entirely into another’s mind without affecting the host’s mental state, Ling Mo found it astonishing.

Apart from wanting to consume Number 0, Ling Mo was also intensely curious, as this was the first time he had encountered an individual with Mental power stronger than his own.

After a thorough investigation, Ling Mo found that Ai Feng’s Mental Sphere was largely split into two parts.

One part was relatively normal, belonging to the original owner, Ai Feng, while the other part was in utter chaos. Although he could sense the strong mental energy contained within, it lacked the complete memories and self-awareness typical of a normal person.

It was like a ragdoll pieced together, each part coming from different individuals.

Even if it could be considered a whole, a closer look was profoundly unsettling.

“Wonder how many people were merged to achieve such strong Mental power. But it must be difficult to enhance strength through self-training now, relying only on merging, right? And most of the retained consciousnesses are filled with negative thoughts, swelling and fermenting in a state of confinement, bound to become something even more terrifying. Niepan Branch is really playing with fire…”

As Ling Mo thought this, a tentacle delved into the messy entanglement: “Better to just consume this thing.”

The chaotic state of Number 0 was actually advantageous for Ling Mo’s consumption. Without a unified consciousness, there was no unified instinct to resist.

But while these consciousnesses were filled with rebellion, once they were isolated, they were far too weak against Ling Mo…

Various images flashed through Ling Mo’s mind, and the voices that rang out were endless.

“Don’t do this, join us!”

“Please, I don’t want this, I’m just an ordinary person, I just want to live, that’s all I want!”

“Why are you doing this to us, isn’t being together better?”

These voices came from different individuals, most of them sounding both resentful and hysterical, somewhat like a demonic chorus.

However, Ling Mo’s willpower was strong enough not to be affected.

“This is also a release for you, what remains of you now is just this,” Ling Mo thought to himself.

Everyone has to do what they must to survive.

Regardless of whether they were coerced or volunteered, they can no longer be considered autonomous individuals.

These are just the desires and hatred they’ve left behind…

But just then, a woman’s voice suddenly pierced into Ling Mo’s mind.

The voice was full of seduction and carried a hint of light laughter, drowning out the cacophony of noises and drilling directly into the depths of Ling Mo’s consciousness.

Ling Mo’s heart chilled, knowing this was obviously Number 0’s last struggle…

Yet, when he clearly heard what the voice said, Ling Mo was momentarily taken aback.

“Why not just give up… Aren’t you tired of this?”

“Have you ever thought about what will happen in the future? You’re afraid of people discovering those little secrets, aren’t you? But what will you do if one day they are uncovered?”

“Why not just give up now, join us, and you won’t have to fear anything anymore…”

A sudden “thump” in Ling Mo’s heart slowed the pace of his consumption involuntarily.

What is this… What’s happening now?

Could it be that during the consumption, the other party has glimpsed into his own heart?

But these words were full of insinuation without pointing directly to the problem…

That’s right, Number 0 can only sense the emotions he has concealed, not directly probe his memories.

But just with the sensing of emotions to make such a pointed comment, Number 0 is truly worthy of being the amalgamation of many consciousnesses.

“Yes, that’s it.” The voice noticed the change in Ling Mo and became even gentler, filled with persuasive coaxing, “The mental pressure must be great, right? Even if you try to relax every day, does that pressure just disappear? It would be better to give up, just give up…”

During this process, Ai Feng, who had been downed, twitched his fingers slightly.

Underneath his closed eyelids, his eyeballs seemed to start moving.

Ling Mo just squatted there, looking somewhat dazed.

But just then, Ling Mo suddenly snapped back to reality, clenched his fist tightly, and smashed it onto Ai Feng’s face: “Shut up!”

Ai Feng, half-awake, received another punch and let out a pained groan, his head lolling to the side, completely passing out.

“Phew! That was close…”

Ling Mo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took a long breath.

Although the instinctive resistance encountered during this consumption was the weakest, it was also the most dangerous.

Because what was being attacked was not something else, but the most vulnerable aspect of a person…
