The ward fell silent immediatelyâ¦
Moments later, the nurse, who had been wearing a shocked expression, reluctantly dropped the facade and stared coldly at Ling Mo, saying, âThe Illusion itself represents my will, so your question isnât entirely wrong. But since you canât find âme,â why not stay in a safe place for now? Of course, you can also try to leave⦠if you can.â
Her words were accompanied by cold laughter, clearly threatening.
However, elsewhere on the Fifth Floor, a man was furiously puffing on a cigarette. âDamn it, this guy doesnât play by the rules. Itâs been almost a year since heâs seen a beautiful woman; youâd think heâd savor the sight a bit more. Even if heâs not into beauty, didnât I tell a pretty interesting story? Havenât watched TV in a year, and he canât appreciate it? Seriously, no sense of tasteâ¦â
âWhat now?â the girl asked.
âThis guy is such a weirdo! I hit him with two of the biggest weaknesses of the human heart, and heâs not even fazed!â the man said.
âStop playing around,â the girl said exasperatedly. âItâs clearly your sense of aesthetics and humor thatâs the problemâ¦â
The man took another deep drag and exhaled a cloud of smoke, âFine, it seems the Illusion wonât workâ¦â
âTold you pole dancing would be more effectiveâ¦â the girl suggested.
âGo away, where does a kid like you learn these things⦠Besides, the Illusion is built on my imagination!â
âAll you can think of are ghost storiesâ¦â
âStop, stop! Iâve got one ultimate move left!â the man suddenly shouted, slapping his thigh forcefully.
At the same time, Ling Mo was saying sharply, âA will doesnât communicate with me, so youâre actually a real-time thought, arenât you?â
To Ling Mo, creating Illusions was much like dreaming, except the dreamer had psychic power strong enough to influence others and could remain outside of their own dream.
The stronger the power, the more realistic the Illusion, and the deeper the influence on others.
However, the progress of the dreamer and the dream infiltrator isnât synchronized. The dream seen by the others might have been created earlier, while the dreamerâs thoughts have already moved on. On the other hand, the dreamer might appear in any part of the Illusion at any time, altering it as they wish and thus affecting the dream infiltrator.
The nurseâs Phantom was just like this-its appearance was suspicious.
Based on the personâs previous habits, this nurse should have been a creepy âghostââ¦
Telling a story about dying from a bladder rupture suddenly seemed like a makeshift ideaâ¦
âLosing control of their bladder before dying, how does that even happen?â Ling Mo couldnât help but think. âBut their attention suddenly shifted to me, which means theyâre mainly trying to trap the other person⦠or have they already caught them?â
âNo, if they had already caught them, they wouldnât be dragging me alongâ¦â
With this thought, Ling Mo felt a bit more at ease and his expression towards the nurse also became much calmer. âItâs fine if you donât admit it, I just wanted to sayâ¦â
Before he could finish his sentence, Ling Mo suddenly felt a chill from behind, immediately turning his head to look.
The nurseâs face, however, showed a sinister smile as she suddenly lunged at Ling Mo.
âThe Illusion may not work, but this place is filled with my psychic power. Didnât you know that?â
The nurse laughed maniacally, her body completely twisted and her head enlarged, her red lips open as if she were about to swallow Ling Mo whole.
The wall behind Ling Mo began to move toward him.
âA psychic shock?â Ling Mo immediately realized.
So powerful!
Apart from the incredibly realistic Illusion, it also had the ability to deliver psychic shocksâ¦
If someone got lost in the Illusion, a few continuous shocks would be enough to render them incapable of resistance. Once the Illusion was lifted, he could easily stab them to death with a knife.
âDonât worry, Iâll just make you lie down for a bit. I have some important matters to attend to, and once Iâm done, we can continue our gameâ¦â
The nurseâs laugh turned into that of a manâs, clearly smug and satisfiedâ¦
âDamn, turns out heâs a pervertâ¦â
As Ling Mo shouted this, the nurseâs form almost dispersed.
âThatâs called tactics!â
The nurse lunged down, and at the same time, the wall smashed toward Ling Mo.
At the critical moment, Ling Mo made a bizarre leap backward, and in the next instant, he appeared at the side of the ward.
As he decisively darted out, the nurse collided with the wall with an angry roarâ¦
âDid it self-destruct?â Yu Shiran asked excitedly.
âOf course not, thatâs all his own psychic power, just expended a bit. But I didnât expect him to suddenly go berserk, I hadnât finished talking.â Ling Mo said.
âWhat did you want to say?â Black Silk asked curiously.
âI was going to say that Iâm just passing through⦠just taking a look around and then leaving.â Ling Mo replied.
âI donât believe that⦠And besides, theyâre all from Niepan, arenât you going to suppress the enemy a bit?â Black Silkâs laugh carried a hint of mischief.
Ling Mo twitched his mouth: âDepending on the situation⦠They have more people. But it seems there arenât many left in the Illusion. Maybe itâs not what I thought.â
âWhat do you mean⦠Wait, those two are back!â Black Silk suddenly shouted and then fell silent.
Ling Mo knew that Black Silk was stalling for time, so he moved even faster.
By now, he was back in the Corridor, and as soon as he steadied himself, he released his psychic tentacle.
The probe at this moment was quite opportunistic; the opponent had just experienced a significant drain and hadnât anticipated that he would choose this moment to launch a psychic probeâ¦
The initial release of the tentacle only gave the impression of a potential psychic attack, but the probing aspect remained hidden.
Even though the opponent was on guard, at this moment, they couldnât really fight back.
âGot it!â
The special psychic light cluster was quickly located, and Ling Mo immediately showed a hint of joy.
Although the probability of Xu Shuhan being here was quite high, Ling Mo had considered the possibility of a âwrong door into the enemyâs lairâ scenarioâ¦
Judging from the psychic fluctuation, Xu Shuhanâs condition couldnât be worse.
However, her movement speed was incredibly fast, which might be why the opponent hadnât caught her yet, despite trapping her here.
Seeing the opponentâs leisurely pace, it was likely they only intended to exhaust her or make her emotionally collapseâ¦
âToo bad sheâs a zombie. You canât exhaust her to death⦠But she seems even faster than before, and itâs only been a short while,â Ling Mo thought in surprise.
Taking advantage of the opponentâs momentary lapse, Ling Mo sped up and charged toward the Light Cluster.
Meanwhile, a chaotic mess of things flashed by his naked eyesâ¦
A corpse suddenly dropped from the Ceiling, an arm shot out from the gap of a door, and a âghostâ head emerged from the floorâ¦
As Ling Mo stepped over the âghostâ head, the bald head actually let out a âWow.â
âWow, this guy reacts quickly!â The man holding his head said, pausing his smoking.
âWait, heâs probing here! Heâs trying to mess with me!â
The man was momentarily stunned and said, âNo, this guy canât be from Niepan! If he were from Niepan, heâd at most try to get a foothold, not go all-in.â
The girl immediately stood up, âIf heâs not from Niepan, then⦠Huh? Heâs with that crazy woman!â
âProbablyâ¦â the man thought, his expression suddenly becoming quite interesting.
When he turned his head, the room was already empty, with only an open door leftâ¦
âHey, didnât they never enter my Illusion before?â the man muttered to himself.
â¦
âNot planning to stop me?â A hint of doubt flashed through Ling Moâs mind as he charged forward.
However, he soon realized that the opponent seemed to have released something extraordinaryâ¦
âBang!â
With a muffled sound, Ling Mo watched as the wall beside him suddenly cracked, and a girl jumped out from withinâ¦
