Chapter 832: The Sad Superpower
Ling Mo’s calm reaction unsettled the Gla.s.ses Man. The strange phenomenon during the shooting added to his unease, leaving him momentarily at a loss for words.
However, he regained his composure in a few seconds, managed a smirk, and said, “Why be so cold? I deliberately exposed myself earlier so you could find this place quickly. You should be grateful, shouldn’t you? … Among the people you brought, there’s that girl with the gun, right? … She’s impressive, she actually managed to hit me…” The Gla.s.ses Man slowly raised the arm holding the remote control, and couldn’t help but let out a groan of pain.
With cold sweat on his forehead, he laughed and said, “Ling Mo, do you think spreading out like this ensures safety? Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. I know you can see me, so you can see this thing too, right?”
Waving the remote control in his hand, the Gla.s.ses Man glared viciously at Ling Mo and said, “The moment I press this, there will be an explosion here, and this entire floor will collapse. If the bomb was placed upstairs, you might have a chance to climb out and survive, but down here? This is the lowest floor… How about it, do you want to take a gamble?”
“What exactly do you want? Looking at you, you don’t seem like you’re here for mutual destruction with me,” Ling Mo interrupted him.
“Mutually a.s.sured destruction? Hahaha…” The Gla.s.ses Man laughed maniacally, “Why would I do that? Look at me, I’m almost fifty… Do you know how hard it is for someone like me to stay alive?” His tone suddenly became slightly odd, as though it concealed a strong feeling of excitement beneath the surface, “Before the disaster struck, I was scorned! Sucking up to those high and mighty customers every day! Sometimes standing at someone’s door all day long, just to sell a box of medicine! Occasionally even kicked out by their kids…”
“…Uh, were your targets the elderly? You’re actually a scammer, aren’t you?” Ling Mo couldn’t help but say.
Such experiences don’t elicit any sympathy at all!
However, the Gla.s.ses Man seemed to have entered a state of frenzy as he continued to shout hysterically, “After the world changed, I stayed with a few colleagues. But I didn’t expect that because they were too afraid to go out to find food, they wouldn’t even share water with me! Do you know what I drank at that time?”
“You don’t have to tell me…”
“I drank urine! Urine! … Later, when they could no longer hold on, they decided to try their luck at a small supermarket… and they made me go ahead to clear the way, saying that because I was older, that’s all I was good for. They wanted me to attract Zombies so they could kill them… Can you believe this nonsense! But I had no choice; I went in. I was actually thinking of letting myself become a Zombie if it came to that, but then I awakened my Superpower…” The Gla.s.ses Man’s voice suddenly softened, “Heaven didn’t want me dead…”
Ling Mo frowned slightly, vaguely guessing how things had developed… Although he wasn’t interested in the life story of the Gla.s.ses Man, Ling Mo didn’t intend to stop him from continuing.
While the Gla.s.ses Man ranted and raved, Ling Mo quietly observed him and the iron cage beside him. The explosives he mentioned were likely in that base, but the extent of their power was unknown.
Moreover, his Superpower was indeed difficult to counter; unless you kept your full attention on him, your gaze would involuntarily drift elsewhere at the slightest distraction…
“So, I obediently led them in… They had no suspicion at all, because if even I could survive, how could anything happen to them, young and strong as they were? Heh, to this day, I can’t forget the expressions they had… full of antic.i.p.ation, excitement, and the desire to survive… You see, everyone wants to live, but no one cared if I wanted to live too…”
“So, I just made them understand in my own way… Watching them scream in terror in front of the Zombies while I could safely hide on the side was truly delightful! Everyone ignored me, didn’t care about me, even trampled on me, but in times like these, they were more fragile than I was! Maybe they never figured it out, even as they died? Why was I, a useless person, able to survive while they couldn’t… Hahahaha…”
The Gla.s.ses Man laughed a few times before suddenly calming down and said, “Ling Mo, let’s play a game… Given your current position, you don’t really have the right to refuse, do you? Rather than just killing you, I want to see you struggle.”
Ling Mo silently watched him but immediately began to think.
“I escaped right under his nose, and then, despite heavy defenses, I took out his team until only he was left… It’s enough to infuriate anyone, let alone someone like him… As for him, he’s likely gone mad with anger… so no matter what, he wants to kill me… And this so-called game is probably his plan to execute me, ensuring he takes me out while getting away unscathed…” Ling Mo looked at him for a moment and slowly said, “What game?” ?аℕΟBĘ?
The Gla.s.ses Man’s face suddenly became clearer, and he licked his lips, “Three minutes… we’ll play right here, within a range of about twenty meters, and see how long you can last under my attacks. But you’d better not try anything else, if I notice any movement from your companions, I will immediately press this remote control! You wouldn’t want to see your three girlfriends blown to pieces, would you? That wouldn’t be pretty…”
“So, the idea is to make me take a beating without fighting back… but not to the point of forcing me to commit suicide; is that because you don’t want me to fight back desperately?” For some reason, Ling Mo felt there was something off about the situation. His gaze swept over the Gla.s.ses Man and then to the iron cage…
“Something’s off… The explosives do pose a threat, but he could easily position himself near the exit and detonate them once we come down. His long-winded speech is likely just a way to make his actions seem more reasonable… Additionally, there’s the possibility he’s deliberately stalling for time. Why exactly three minutes?”
Ling Mo frowned, deep in thought. With full concentration, his observational skills were sharper than usual. However, figuring out a person’s intentions isn’t as straightforward as tracing clues; it’s often the hardest part. But there’s at least one thing: this guy must have a concern.
“Disregard his apparent demeanor; focus purely on his actions… Since he didn’t opt to detonate the explosives immediately, it suggests they might not have the catastrophic power he claimed to topple the building… The iron cage is meant to confine, which implies the amount of explosives is limited. Otherwise, how could the surrounding Falcon members escape if they went off?” A realization struck Ling Mo, honing in on this crucial detail.
Though the Gla.s.ses Man had a twisted personality, he adeptly used words to mask his true objectives, even diverting Ling Mo’s attention.
“As long as Ling Mo is dead, those girls won’t be a match for me. Ling Mo is the only one who can barely perceive me…” the Gla.s.ses Man thought, his gaze involuntarily flicking towards the base, his smile unnervingly chilling. “Even if he suspects something, he wouldn’t dare gamble… That’s human nature. So long as there’s a sliver of hope, they won’t resort to extreme measures, especially when facing an enemy they can’t even hit.”
At that moment, he noticed Ling Mo take two steps back and subtly lean against a column.
“Twenty meters, right? If you were running away at full speed, I might be slightly troubled, but you’ve trapped yourself in this cage… Isn’t that unnecessarily troublesome for yourself?” Ling Mo remarked with a smile.
The Gla.s.ses Man eyed Ling Mo cautiously, and when Ling Mo’s gaze suddenly sharpened, his heart skipped a beat: “What are you planning to do? Be careful or I’ll press…”
“Haven’t you already pressed it?”
