“Ah, over there! I’ll go take a look!” Xia Na quickly exchanged a glance with Ling Mo, then decisively let go of Mu Chen.

As soon as she lifted her foot, Ling Mo had already thrown out a Tentacle. That “leech” had just started to struggle when it was once again firmly pinned to the ground.

It writhed violently, its body continuously contracting, while Mu Chen frowned in his unconsciousness.

“Such strong force…” Ling Mo wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that in such a short time, this “leech” seemed to have grown a bit.

But with no understanding of it, Ling Mo didn’t dare to act rashly.

He could only hope Xia Na would find something useful…

Meanwhile, Xia Na had already rushed to the doorway Mu Chen had just exited, Scythe in hand.

She moved extremely fast, almost completing the action the instant Ling Mo took over controlling Mu Chen.

“The corpse…” Xia Na blinked and scanned the room.

That’s right, there should be a corpse here… And judging by Mu Chen’s state when he came out, he should have just finished a fight.

Xia Na’s first reaction was that there was something wrong with the corpse…

But when she saw the corpse, she couldn’t help but freeze.

How did this look like a fresh corpse? It was highly decayed!

“Ling-Ge, this corpse is weird!” Xia Na shouted as she circled the room.

At that moment, a patch of darkness was spreading out from the corner, slowly approaching the shadow behind Xia Na.

“What’s wrong with it?” Ling Mo quickly asked.

“It’s completely different from the ones we’ve seen before!” Xia Na replied from afar.

“Swish!”

Ling Mo immediately drew his dagger, aiming at the “leech.”

So… the problem really was with the corpse, and the “leech” must have crawled out from it. While it was on the corpse, it didn’t need living cells, so it must be the same with living people. Even if he forcibly pulled it out, it shouldn’t cause too much damage. As for Mu Chen, he must have been attacked during the fight with the corpse…

“Can’t be a hundred percent sure…”

Ling Mo held the knife, hesitating for a moment.

All these thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. If it were any other situation, he would have acted without hesitation. But now he was a bit unsure… What if he was wrong?

Just then, the “leech” began to writhe violently again, trying to burrow back into Mu Chen’s body. If it succeeded, Mu Chen would really be beyond saving.

At the same time, Mu Chen let out a muffled groan, then slowly opened his eyes in pain. At first, he was a bit dazed, but as soon as the “leech” burrowed in, he shuddered all over, cold sweat instantly breaking out on his forehead.

“Wha… what is this… this…” Mu Chen struggled to turn his head for a look, and was instantly shocked by the state of his Arm. “What the hell is this!” And soon, more questions popped up, “Did I just do something to Xia Na… I didn’t hurt her, did I?”

“Don’t worry. With your skills, you couldn’t hurt her.” Ling Mo reassured him.

“Oh… that’s good…” Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly wailed again as if realizing something, “But I seem to be in bad shape! What the hell is this thing! Why does it feel like a power drill!”

Ling Mo took a closer look… The “leech” was using its constant writhing to widen the wound, then contracting to burrow in-wasn’t that just like a power drill? As for how it felt… judging by Mu Chen’s expression, it was obviously terrible.

“Hang in there, I’ll pull it out. By the way, what do you remember about it? Or, tell me about your fight with the corpse.” Ling Mo asked as he brought the knife closer. The “leech” clearly had no self-awareness, only trying to burrow in. Ling Mo used a Tentacle to bind both sides of the wound, then slowly moved closer to it.

Who knew what else this “leech” could do? Since he had to use force, he had to finish it in one go.

Mu Chen spoke intermittently through his cries: “I don’t know what it is! As for the corpse… right, when that guy was being all arrogant, he suddenly stopped, and then I stabbed him with a knife. He just fell right onto me…”

Ling Mo raised an eyebrow: “And then you got knocked over?”

That didn’t seem likely… Mu Chen’s skills weren’t that slow. Unless…

“But even a thirty-year-old virgin like you wouldn’t molest a corpse in such a closed room…” Ling Mo said.

“Don’t say it out loud! And so detailed… You really suspected that, didn’t you!” Mu Chen shouted. It was hard to tell whether his cry was more from pain or anger…

“So… what happened that made you unable to dodge?” Ling Mo continued to ask.

“Hey! Don’t ignore what I said!” Mu Chen yelled, then gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, suddenly saying, “Now that you mention it, it was pretty weird… I was about to back away, but I bumped into something. Luckily, the corpse didn’t move again, or I might have gotten hurt… Ah!”

With a miserable scream, Ling Mo had already reacted swiftly and flicked that “leech” out.

“Xia Na! Watch out inside the house! That person might still be in there!” Ling Mo shouted in his mind at the same time.

“Inside the house?” Xia Na had already stopped in her tracks.

That Dark Shadow finally merged into the shadow beneath her feet… Facing this delicate girl, a hand slowly reached out from the Dark Shadow, then gradually stretched toward her…

Clang!

With a flash of cold gleam, that hand was instantly pinned to the ground by the blade of the Scythe.

Immediately after, the figure hiding in the darkness was dragged out by Xia Na, person and blade together.

She even used only one hand… and completed this whole series of actions with her back turned.

The person was slowly dragged out of the darkness, his palm still twitching under the blade, even making a “click” sound.

And this Ambusher, in the midst of intense pain, lifted his head and looked in disbelief at this long-haired girl.

“Hehehe…”

The girl finally turned around, squinting her eyes and looking down at the Ambusher with a hint of innocent smile.

“So you’re the one who tried to pull off a double kill? Sorry, but I caught you.”

“How…” The Ambusher had just squeezed out a word when he suddenly saw Xia Na open her eyes.

Even though those eyes were black… the moment he met this girl’s gaze, he couldn’t help but shiver.

The girl continued to smile as she said, “It would have been enough to take out that stupid guy at the start, but you just had to target a cute and kind girl like me…”

Hey, hey… you’re talking about your own teammate! You’re talking about the one who got hit, right?

What’s with this kid!

The Ambusher’s already pale face turned even more ghastly…

It’s over…

“Don’t move, or I’ll drag you with the other hand.” The girl said very gently, “If you understand, hand over everything you have. Otherwise, when Ling-Ge gets here, he’ll be even angrier than I am…”

…

“Ahhh!” Mu Chen was still screaming nonstop, the removal of that “leech” accompanied by a gush of blood. And as soon as it hit the ground, it bounced straight toward Mu Chen’s face.

Clang!

Ling Mo’s Tentacle pinned it to the ground just in time, but even so, it kept writhing. However, soon it began to rot as it twisted.

“So that’s it… It dies if it’s on its own…” Ling Mo said.

Mu Chen, meanwhile, still had a horrified look on his face… Damn, what a sight! That thing looks just like a moving strip of meat!

“Captain… can you move it a bit farther away…” Mu Chen said, his voice trembling.

“Calm down,” Ling Mo consoled.

“How am I supposed to calm down!”

“See, you got excited and now you’re bleeding again.” Ling Mo patted Mu Chen on the shoulder and said, “Hang in there, Yuwen Xuan will be here soon.”

“If I’m bleeding, help me stop it… Wait, Yuwen Xuan? What do you mean?” Mu Chen looked up at Ling Mo, instantly getting a very bad feeling…

Sure enough, the next second, the familiar voice of the madman came from behind them…

“Who needs disinfectant?” Yuwen Xuan appeared beside the two, rubbing his hands and looking eager.

Black Silk followed behind, looking curiously at Xia Na who had just walked out the door.

“Ling-Ge, can you come here for a second?” Xia Na asked.

Ling Mo glanced at Yuwen Xuan, then at the already stunned Mu Chen, and said quietly, “Good luck! Believe in miracles, my spirit is with you.”

“Wait… don’t go! I need you to actually be with me! Yuwen Xuan, what are you doing? Don’t be rash! Even though my body really was tainted by some unknown thing, can’t we use a gentler method? Disinfectant? Alcohol? Anything!… Ahhh!”

“Tsk…” Ling Mo, with his back to them, couldn’t help but shiver at the sound of that scream.

“It’s not like he’s really burning him… Yuwen Xuan can control the Flame, just to deal with some junk around the wound,” Black Silk said. “Then use conventional methods to treat it, that’s safer. But it’s fine, I checked that thing, it barely has any virus… This means, it’s entirely a human thing…”

“There, that’s him.” The two happened to reach the door, and Xia Na was leaning against it, pointing at a guy tied up inside.

The guy sat rather obediently on the chair, his face full of panic and unease.

Especially after seeing Ling Mo, his eyes grew even more terrified…
