âAs for the other layer of meaning of twenty meters, it refers to the blast radius covered during the explosion⦠You have to keep me within this area to ensure Iâll be killed or severely injured⦠And the so-called game you mentioned is to temporarily escape this range, relying on the advantage of being unseen⦠If I hesitated and cooperated with your actions, I would die in three minutes.â
While speaking, Ling Mo immediately opened his palm and aimed at the ground⦠The remote control was obviously just a decoy, meant to draw his full attention.
The momentarily startled Glasses Man snapped back to reality, glaring maliciously at Ling Mo as a strong sense of danger suddenly surged around him. Although he didnât know exactly what Ling Mo had set up here, Glasses Man had a vague feeling⦠Perhaps Ling Mo was telling the truth, and this place had already turned into his own prisonâ¦
âItâs just bits and pieces of information, and he managed to figure it out so quickly⦠But even so, how could he act so decisively! Maybe this guess is also false, and I still hold further leverage in my hands. Doesnât his mind have any such doubts?â thought Glasses Man grimly. If it were him under the threat of a bomb, he would definitely not act so rashly; any hesitation would make Ling Moâs resistance impossibleâ¦
âYou just want to seize every chance to kill me, right? Itâs not just because of hatred, but also for your own future. With the whole team wiped out and only you left, life would be tough for you if you didnât make a move, wouldnât it?â Ling Mo continued calmly, âYour superpower canât sustain much longer-five minutes? Ten? If you give it everything to take me down first, it would also ensure your successful escape afterwardâ¦â
Glasses Man slowly took two steps back and said grimly, âIs it useful to say these things? You didnât just come here for revenge, did you? With my superpower, you canât attack me⦠What can you do in these three minutes?â As he spoke, his blurry figure completely vanished, as if he had merged into the darkness.
âSave those words to comfort yourself⦠Youâll soon know what I can do.â Ling Mo replied, unmoved. While he couldnât be seen by the naked eye or detected by any probe, merely relying on that couldnât be considered flawlessâ¦
Though Glasses Man had disappeared from his vision, a completely different picture unfolded in Ling Moâs mind. Hundreds of reddish tentacles wove into a bloody psychic net in the void, completely covering the area. Most of the tentacles lay hidden in the water, like threads drifting with the current, emitting a faint glow, quietly waitingâ¦
Less than two seconds after Glasses Man vanished, Ling Moâs eyebrows suddenly twitched.
âCapture!â
Ling Moâs hand clenched tightly, and with the sudden splash of water, a scream pierced through the air.
A red spot appeared in the puddle, quickly spreadingâ¦
âAhhh! Ling Mo, youâ¦â More screams followed, and a series of splashes rapidly spread toward the iron cageâ¦
âThe biggest flaw in your superpower is actually yourself.â Ling Moâs grip tightened as if he were squeezing Glasses Manâs throat and slowly applying pressure. Every time his wrist twisted, a scream would inevitably echo around.
He could sense Glasses Man attempting to escape the range, but under such indiscriminate attacks, he could only dodge in distress. Even with the ability to sense psychic fluctuations and the characteristic of being undetectable, he still suffered significant damage in a short period.
âYou can make living creatures ignore you, but you canât make the standing water do the same. The so-called reduction of presence isnât truly being nonexistent⦠Unless you can stand completely still, but if you were really motionless, I could slowly inch my way to youâ¦â Ling Mo thought to himself.
As thirty seconds passed, Glasses Manâs screams became even more harrowing. Among the tentacles, aside from the physical ones, there was also a large number of psychic tentacles. Under simultaneous mental and physical assault, Glasses Manâs body flashed once more, and the moment he appeared, he immediately raised another remote control and shouted harshly, âLing Mo, do you really think I didnât prepare anything? Once I blow up the entrance and exit, youâll all be buried with me!â
âSo itâs the entrance and exitâ¦â Ling Mo muttered as he glanced at the remote control.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The expression on Glasses Manâs face had turned extremely twisted when he produced this remote control. He originally planned to use it as a last resort after the explosion. Regardless of the outcome of the blast, he intended to rush for the exit immediately. If he could find those girls along the way and kill them, that would be ideal⦠But even if he couldnât, he could completely seal this place off⦠Moreover, as soon as the explosion sounded, others lying in ambush outside would be drawn by the commotionâ¦
He didnât just want to kill Ling Mo; he wanted to use this opportunity to trap everyone here!
âThe support team is almost here; if I can hold out for a bit longer⦠Itâs a pity time is so tight, I can only think of that plan for now⦠Really, a group of useless idiots-letting someone sneak into our base and canât even hold out for five minutes!â Glasses Man cursed venomously in his heart, âItâs all because theyâre fools! If I could have taken down one or two of them, or fought a retreating battle to draw them closer here, I wouldnât have ended up like this! Itâs their weakness that ruined my plans!â
âAnd youâ¦â Glasses Man spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, slowly steadied himself, and through crooked glasses, glared intensely at Ling Mo. He was now covered with more than dozens of wounds, his blood-soaked appearance making his flickering figure look particularly eerie⦠One of the wounds was even on his face, brutally mangling a part of his ear.
At this moment, a deep sense of dread appeared in Glasses Manâs eyes. He had assumed that with his unique superpower, no matter how strong Ling Mo was, he wouldnât be able to find a point of attack. This was one of the thrills he sought⦠It might have seemed unimpressive, but no matter how powerful someone was, they would be at a loss in front of him. This feeling of lurking in the shadows, watching the opponent get frustrated, or even cough up blood, was pure enjoyment for him⦠This superpower was the biggest reason he made it here and his greatest backup plan for luring Ling Mo and his team down here!
But now, this backup plan was losing its effectiveness⦠Once the superpower was entirely neutralized, his fate was predictableâ¦
âWhat kind of superpower does he actually have! This is totally inconsistent with the intelligence I received!â Glasses Man thought frantically.
âLing Mo, donât push me. If the entrance and exit are blown up, combined with this space⦠even if you barely survive, you wonât be able to escape alive.â He clenched the remote control tightly and suddenly raised his voice, yelling, âLet me go! This time you can try again, but you only have one chance! If you make another move, Iâll detonate immediately! These bombs arenât on a delay!â
As he spoke, he slowly began to retreat. However, his speed was noticeably slower than before he was injuredâ¦
Ling Mo stood still, watching him, and suddenly said, âDid I say you could leave?â
Glasses Manâs body shook, and he gritted his teeth, cursing, âDo you really want to test me? Even if weâre all trapped here together, you might not be able to kill me, right? Once our support team arrives, youâll be like a fish in a barrelâ¦â
The hand holding the remote control began to tremble uncontrollably; he really didnât want to go this route unless he had no other choiceâ¦
âThen letâs test it.â Ling Mo suddenly smiled, took a step forward, and said.
More splashes erupted from the water, like some creature lurking beneath was swiftly approaching Glasses Man.
Glasses Manâs eyes turned red, âYou maniac! Youâre all crazy! Go to hell! All of you!â
âClick.â
The soft sound of the button being pressed seemed to make all the noise around them suddenly vanishâ¦
