My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 687: Hidden Eyes

“Just now…” Ling Mo began to speak with difficulty.

“It wasn’t an illusion,” Xia Na continued.

The three female Zombies nodded in agreement, indicating they had all witnessed it.

Ling Mo looked troubled. “Then…”

“That’s right, Yu Shiran now has two souls in one body… Ah, no, her situation should be described as… two relatively independent but intertwined mental entities, coexisting in a single body… It’s similar to some kind of human food, like twisted dough or fried dough sticks, but without a junction, no real connection point… Something like that, right?”

After saying this in one breath, Xia Na looked at Ling Mo for confirmation.

“As expected of a top student… but that description is quite strange…”

Before Ling Mo could finish, Xia Na had already turned to Yu Shiran, pinching her chin in thought, and asked with interest, “So, does this mean you can control Black Silk’s body as well?”

“Who would want to!”

Yu Shiran responded with disdain, “Evolving into that bizarre form, no one would believe it if you said it was a Mutation Beast! Who even remembers what it originally looked like now?”

“I remember…” Ling Mo showed a hint of regret.

His magnificent giant dog…

“I’ll bite you!” Yu Shiran said angrily.

“Pasts are hard to recall,” Ling Mo said, indicating he was just reminiscing.

“My current situation is what’s truly unbearable!”

Yu Shiran grabbed Ling Mo’s collar, pulling him closer. Just as she was about to sternly question him, she realized the angle seemed off…

“Kneel down! …Hmph, forget it if you won’t! Tell me, what should I do now? Anyway, I don’t care, Sausage Humans, this is all your fault, you have to take responsibility!”

“Take responsibility?”

This blame was truly inescapable…

“Alright, how do you want me to take responsibility?” Ling Mo asked as he backed up to the wall, starting to brush off the dust on his clothes.

“Separate our thoughts!” Yu Shiran followed him closely.

“Otherwise, I’ll find a way to eat you!” she added solemnly.

This evolution had clearly improved Yu Shiran’s intelligence. Although her mental age probably wouldn’t exceed eleven or twelve, she already exhibited the stubborn traits of a little girl.

After glaring coldly at Ling Mo for a few seconds with her large eyes, Yu Shiran snorted, tossed her hair, and turned her head away. “I’m going to find Xiao Bai. Don’t bother warning me… that foolish human won’t notice me…”

Watching Yu Shiran walk to the window, open it, and then flip out, Ling Mo showed a thoughtful expression.

“Seeing her like this, should I save that sad news for later?”

“What news?” Li Yalin asked curiously.

Ling Mo touched his nose, pondered for a moment, and said, “She’s also one of my Zombie Puppets now…”

Although Ling Mo’s Psychic Link hadn’t directly affected Yu Shiran’s Psychic Light Cluster, since Black Silk could control her body, indirectly, Ling Mo could as well.

However, Yu Shiran clearly hadn’t realized this, otherwise, she would have gone berserk on the spot.

“Thinking about it, I do feel a bit sorry for her. It’s clearly her own body, yet someone else can just come and go as they please…” Ling Mo couldn’t help but think.

Swish!

Mu Chen, who was jogging down the corridor, suddenly stopped and turned to look at a half-open door nearby.

For a moment, he thought he saw a black shadow out of the corner of his eye.

Behind the door was a room that looked relatively tidy but was covered in dust.

A tattered screen hung crookedly from the window, swaying with every breeze.

“Must have been my imagination…”

Mu Chen stared at the screen for a while, then walked away, puzzled.

“So… how can we help her?”

Hearing Li Yalin’s question, Ling Mo turned his gaze back from the window. “How would I know…”

“Then why did you put on such a pensive look as if you were contemplating the horizon…” Xia Na grumbled.

“I’ve got a head full of questions too… I remember Black Silk had a simple, honest face before it mutated. Why did it turn into a cunning, scheming, and mysterious creature after the mutation? What happened in between?” Ling Mo asked, rubbing his temples.

“Ask the virus…” Xia Na turned her head nonchalantly.

“Black Silk targeted Yu Shiran the moment she appeared. From that point on, her goal wasn’t just to find a powerful symbiote, was it? She was planning to seize control all along! And… why do I feel like she chose Yu Shiran specifically to get back at Ban Yue?”

Anything involving Black Silk now made Ling Mo think of conspiracy theories.

“Ask her…” Xia Na continued to turn away.

“But the good news is, looking at the situation of the Psychic Light Cluster, at least it won’t result in Black Silk completely devouring Yu Shiran and taking over her body entirely…”

Ling Mo briefly closed his eyes, trying to relax his nerves, which had been tense since earlier.

Honestly, even though he had long known Black Silk was no longer just an ordinary Mutation Beast, hearing her speak to him directly was still quite unsettling.

The world of the virus was indeed full of unimaginable possibilities…

Thud!

Yu Shiran landed softly on the ground, a silver thread retracting immediately after.

She looked around, then glanced at the thick smoke in the distance.

“Xiao Bai?”

Yu Shiran called out softly as she began walking in one direction.

However, after just a few steps, the Zombie Loli suddenly stopped.

She stood still, her body unmoving, but her eyes shifted to the side.

In her line of sight, there was nothing but dirty walls and a desolate street.

Maintaining her position, a silver thread quietly slid down her back, then slithered along the ground like a snake, moving behind her.

The silver thread deftly avoided the broken clothing on the ground, silently slipping under an abandoned car, and then slowly extending towards a corner of the wall.

Yu Shiran was watching that shadow out of the corner of her eye. To the naked eye, there was only a rusty trash can.

But just a moment ago, Yu Shiran distinctly felt a gaze upon her.

The silver thread moved very slowly, climbing up the trash can and then wrapping around it…

Clang!

With a light sound, the trash can suddenly tilted and then wobbled like a roly-poly toy.

Almost simultaneously, Yu Shiran swiftly turned around, fixing her gaze on that shadowy spot.

The trash can wobbled, emitting a faint rustling noise, but behind it, there was nothing—just emptiness.

Yu Shiran blinked in confusion. “Strange…”

She stood there for a while longer, but when nothing happened, she pouted and turned away.

However, just as she turned, a ripple appeared in that shadowy spot.

The wall seemed to twist, and a pair of eyes suddenly emerged.

These eyes were an eerie purplish-red, staring unblinkingly at Yu Shiran from the “twisting” wall.

From the perspective of these eyes, Yu Shiran’s back appeared distorted and blurry, as if seen through water from underwater looking up at the shore…

“What a surprise! Hahaha… I didn’t expect an unexpected find like this… Can’t rush, can’t rush… I’ll come back after I’ve digested… Don’t worry, I won’t miss out on you… During this time, you can grow more mature and tastier…”

A manic grin flashed in those eyes before they silently submerged back into the wall’s rippling surface…

After a night of rest, Xu Shuhan’s condition had stabilized.

She had almost returned to how she was the previous night, but her temper was much calmer.

However, when she habitually reached for her submachine gun, Mu Chen was quicker to grab it.

“I’ll take care of it,” Mu Chen said with a fawning smile.

He was still smiling when a dark shadow fell in front of him, followed by a heavy weight on his arm.

Xia Na brushed past him without looking back. “Then you can carry this bag too. It’s all precious food, don’t drop it.”

“If it’s so precious, why throw it at me… Damn it! I’m here to be an instructor, not a pack mule!”

But what use was his protest… Mu Chen, with a huge bag slung over his back, trudged along at the rear of the single-file line descending the stairs.

Xu Shuhan walked beside Xia Na, thinking how bizarre this group was.

Three female Zombies, two humans, and one being somewhere between human and Zombie…

And among them, Mu Chen was the only one completely clueless about the true situation.

He considered Xu Shuhan the biggest threat, not realizing that any of the three female Zombies ahead of him could tear him to pieces in seconds.

“Ignorance is bliss…” Xu Shuhan thought to herself.

This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.

Knowing she would inevitably mutate, she found herself increasingly interested in the three female Zombies.

It was better to observe them now than to be completely ignorant when her time came…

But her true curiosity lay with Ling Mo…

Looking at Mu Chen’s reaction to the Zombies, that was how a normal person should react.

But Ling Mo?

Xu Shuhan looked at Ling Mo with a complex expression. At that moment, he was conversing with Ye Lian, a genuine and relaxed smile on his face…

“Since you’ve cleared the way, can we leave Xinlan Town for Heishui City today?” Mu Chen asked eagerly.

“Almost…” Ling Mo started to reply but then hesitated. frёewebηovel.cѳm

When they had confronted the Bird Zombie earlier, something had felt off…

“Let’s check out Cuihu City on the way,” Ling Mo said instead.

“Why?!” Mu Chen was exasperated. He could never fathom what was going on in this guy’s head!

“It’s on the way…” Ling Mo replied dismissively.

“It’s at least dozens of kilometers out of the way!”
