Chapter 193: Out of Control
Passing through the eerie morgue, Xia Chenge stopped at the entrance.
She glanced back at the chilling morgue, her brow furrowing: was it an illusion? Why did she feel like someone was watching her from inside the morgue?
Supernatural? Xia Chenge raised an eyebrow and casually reached for the door.
Just as her hand was about to touch the handle, a faint clicking sound suddenly came from the morgue.
Xia Chenge curved her lips, her figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, she had vanished from the doorway as if she had never been there.
Where did they go?
The two hiding in the shadows looked at the doorway in terror. The morgue seemed to be cooperating with their fear, and a gust of cold wind swept through.
The two were so scared they peed themselves, shivering all over.
“What are you trying to do? Steal a corpse?” Xia Chenge stood behind them and asked sinisterly.
“Ghost…” The two immediately wanted to scream, but before they could utter half a syllable, their mouths were stuffed with something.
“Who sent you here?” Xia Chenge asked in a low voice.
“Mmmph mmmph mmmph…”
“Speak!”
“We came to get something （ We came to get something ）.”
“Get what?”
“Don’t know （ Don’t know ）.”
“If you don’t talk, I’ll kill you. The morgue doesn’t lack two corpses like you anyway,” Xia Chenge threatened.
Coming to the morgue in the middle of the night, were they really just here to steal corpses? Looking at their timidness, they didn’t seem like people who would dare to steal corpses.
“I’ll talk.”
“If you dare to make a sound, I’ll snap your neck immediately,” Xia Chenge whispered, then removed the object from one of their mouths.
“Lady ghost, we really don’t know what we were supposed to get. We were threatened. If we didn’t come, he would kill us,” the person stammered. “We wouldn’t dare to steal corpses even if we had the guts!”
“Who is that person?”
“I don’t know, I didn’t see him.”
“Then you were still threatened? Are you trying to trick me into an early death?” Xia Chenge asked sinisterly.
The person shook his head violently: “I wouldn’t dare to lie to you, it’s true.”
Xia Chenge pondered for a moment, then a flash of inspiration struck her, and her expression immediately became solemn: This is bad, these two must have been sent by the person behind Ling Zhongwen, specifically to test her!
Thinking of this, Xia Chenge’s brows furrowed tightly.
Her plan to feign death was exposed!
Damn it, she hadn’t expected the person behind Ling Zhongwen to be so insidious.
The most dangerous person now was Ling Hanmu!
She glanced at the two of them, then quickly left the morgue.
The two only felt a light breeze behind them. When they looked back, no one was there. They were so terrified that their souls scattered, and they fled through the door.
Xia Chenge stood at the highest point of the hospital, closed her eyes, and concentrated, listening to all the movements nearby.
She had used too much mental power in the laboratory, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been this difficult.
One minute later, Xia Chenge’s complexion drained of all color, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
She clutched her chest, forcibly suppressing the churning blood and qi.
Even killing a thousand zombies in the apocalypse wouldn’t be as exhausting as this. She should try not to use her ridiculously weak mental power in the future!
After recovering slightly, Xia Chenge concentrated again, her expression growing increasingly grim.
Finally, just as she was about to collapse, she found Ling Hanmu’s location.
She leaped from the highest point, like a bird in the night, suddenly changing direction in mid-air and plunging into one of the floors.
The dim corridor was empty. Xia Chenge, whose hearing had not yet fully returned to normal, heard countless heartbeats and breaths echoing in her ears.
She swept through the corridor at a speed so fast that even the person watching the monitor didn’t notice, and she even tampered with the camera facing the last hospital room at the end of the corridor, making it display a static image.
Xia Chenge stood in front of the hospital room and looked inside through the small glass window by the door.
Although there was no light inside, Xia Chenge could clearly see the person lying on the bed, who was none other than Ling Hanmu.
She gently opened the door and slipped inside.
“Xiao Mu.” She stood by the bed and gently nudged Ling Hanmu.
Ling Hanmu opened his eyes and looked at her.
Xia Chenge met his gaze, and her breath hitched.
His eyes, which should have been clear and bright, were now scarlet and indifferent, even filled with intense killing intent.
“Xiao Mu!” Xia Chenge’s heart ached, and she grabbed his hand.
Why had he entered a berserk state again?
Did Ling Zhongwen want to turn the hospital into a human purgatory?
“Little Brother.” At that moment, Ling Hanmu spoke with difficulty, “I’m fine.”
“How are you?” Hearing that Ling Hanmu could still speak normally, Xia Chenge felt a little relieved, but she was still extremely anxious.
“I feel very uncomfortable,” Ling Hanmu said, clutching his head with his other hand. “My whole body feels like it’s not my own, out of my control.”
Thinking of Ling Hanchao’s situation, Xia Chenge let go of Ling Hanmu and placed her hands on his head.
She examined him meticulously, finding no chip implanted in Ling Hanmu, nor any of his organs replaced.
What exactly had Ling Zhongwen done to him?
Xia Chenge didn’t have time to ponder these things; she could only use her healing power to forcibly suppress Ling Hanmu’s discomfort.
At the same time, Xia Chenge suddenly heard footsteps approaching.
Was Ling Zhongwen coming to hypnotize Ling Hanmu?
Xia Chenge gritted her teeth and injected the last trace of her mental power into Ling Hanmu’s mind.
To her shock, this trace of mental power not only failed to enter Ling Hanmu’s body but instead, Ling Hanmu began to continuously transmit powerful mental energy to her, replenishing all the mental power she had just depleted.
How could this be? Xia Chenge was stunned.
However, Ling Hanmu showed no reaction, as if he were unaware of what had happened.
The footsteps were getting closer, and she could no longer stay.
She lowered her head and kissed Ling Hanmu: “They’re going to hypnotize you, you need to protect yourself. I’ll wait for you in the laboratory!”
With that, Xia Chenge leaped and left through the window.
The door was suddenly pushed open.
The newcomer stared intently at Ling Hanmu, whose eyes were closed, on the bed.
Had the guess been wrong? A hint of confusion crossed the newcomer’s face.
“What is it?” Ling Zhongwen’s voice sounded softly from behind the newcomer.
“Wake him up.” The newcomer stepped into the dark hospital room.
Ling Zhongwen knew his habits and could only follow him into the darkness, helping the lying Ling Hanmu to sit up against the wall.
The newcomer sat opposite Ling Hanmu and signaled Ling Zhongwen to wake him up.
Xia Chenge had not gone far; she hid behind the window, quietly observing everything happening in the hospital room.
The person’s method of hypnosis was very strange.
There were hypnotists in the apocalypse too, who helped reduce the suffering of people tormented by zombies. But apocalypse hypnotists used mental power to hypnotize people, without any external aid.
However, this person was using drug injections to hypnotize Ling Hanmu.
Xia Chenge didn’t know what poison was in the syringe. She didn’t want Ling Hanmu to take the risk, and just as she was about to smash the syringe, Ling Hanmu suddenly attacked the newcomer with a frenzy, knocking the syringe to the ground.
The person quickly leaned back to avoid it, then leaped away from Ling Hanmu.
In that instant, Xia Chenge saw his face!
