In other words, at that time, the Casterway that Yuwen Xuan “shook off” actually handed him over to the Giant God Warrior, while it turned around to deal with Ling Mo and Xu Shuhan…
Ling Mo never expected there to be a third party involved, which complicated their understanding of the situation…
“Wait a minute… Something’s not right…” Ling Mo was pondering when he suddenly paused, pinching his brow in thought. He abruptly looked up and asked, “Yuwen Xuan, you said when you saw the Face Tearer, it appeared as a human figure?”
“Uh… yeah…” Yuwen Xuan nodded, not quite understanding the significance.
“What did it look like?” Ling Mo pressed on.
“What else? It looked like a person…” Yuwen Xuan replied, frowning. “The key is, I couldn’t see clearly at the time because I was trying to keep the light source hidden to avoid being discovered… The clearest look I got was when I saw its back…” He thought seriously for a moment before affirming, “I remember it was wearing clothes. A coat of some length…”
“A coat?” Ling Mo frowned, continuing to ask, “What color was it?”
“That… I didn’t see clearly… It wasn’t a bright color, more like a dull gray that was hard to make out,” Yuwen Xuan said vaguely. He had tried hard to recall, but in that situation, who would pay special attention to what the other was wearing?
Seeing Ling Mo standing there silently, Xu Shuhan couldn’t help but tug at him, asking, “What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing…” Ling Mo replied softly, not elaborating further.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to explain, but like before, it was just a hypothesis…
The Giant God Warrior needs to make contact with a designated target to perform the corresponding transformation, a fact confirmed twice, so it’s undoubtedly true. When it was luring Ling Mo and Xu Shuhan, it used Yuwen Xuan’s identity, but when luring Yuwen Xuan, it transformed into another unknown person…
But Ling Mo felt that this person’s identity might be a key…
The reason was simple. In Yuwen Xuan’s account, there was no mention of being interrogated or questioned… Yet, whether dealing with Yuwen Xuan or Ling Mo and Xu Shuhan, the Giant God Warrior’s luring actions seemed very targeted. Especially when facing Ling Mo’s group, it even uttered so many false lines…
This was no coincidence!
To facilitate all this, in Ling Mo’s view, there was only one possibility, and that is… this Giant God Warrior knows Tang Hao’s group!
Yes, not only does it know them, but it recognizes them… And from its actions, it clearly understands the role Ling Mo’s group plays for them…
Not allowing the Monsters to kill Yuwen Xuan was to prevent the loss of his blood and vitality… In other words, he was being delivered here as a special kind of food. And when that third party was executing the delivery, the Giant God Warrior transformed into Yuwen Xuan’s appearance to take over…
As for why the treatment was different… Ling Mo glanced at Xu Shuhan, gaining some understanding.
This was evident from the Giant God Warrior’s own fate; to them, common zombies were just ordinary food. And being with Xu Shuhan, Ling Mo would naturally be treated the same way. However, this might not be the case; the Giant God Warrior entering the black fog in advance could have been to subdue Ling Mo and bring him here alive.
“But that figure must have hit you pretty hard to knock you out, right?” Xu Shuhan, not getting an answer from Ling Mo, turned to Yuwen Xuan with a puzzled look.
Yuwen Xuan chuckled, saying, “Quite the opposite. It’s a Monster; how could it dare to hit a weak human like me hard? What if it accidentally smashed my head? Besides, although I didn’t notice at the time, I reacted the moment I was hit. It was too late to dodge, but I could still go with the flow and fall forward. If the opponent were just a normal human, I could have dodged without harm. Even if not, it would have just been a scratch. But this was a Monster, and not an ordinary one, so I was briefly stunned.” R̃𝙖ΝΟβƐS
“I see…” Xu Shuhan was taken aback, not expecting this madman’s mind to be so meticulous! This was quite similar to Ling Mo…
“Birds of a feather!” Xu Shuhan muttered under her breath.
“And what about that figure?” Ling Mo asked.
“After dropping me, I don’t know where it went. I was covered in mud, so I just groped around and eventually found this place. I originally intended to ambush it, but the atmosphere here was too strange…” Yuwen Xuan explained.
From the distance, he wasn’t actually too far from Ling Mo and Xu Shuhan at the time. But this black fog was peculiar, seemingly having a sound-isolating effect. So when Ling Mo exposed the Giant God Warrior, he had no idea the real Yuwen Xuan was being dragged through the fog…
No wonder the Giant God Warrior was so arrogant… The enemy’s companion was being delivered to the table, while the enemy was clueless. To the Giant God Warrior, this was indeed something worth its arrogance. It just didn’t expect that the so-called “food” wasn’t some lamb to the slaughter, but a madman lying in wait…
“What was strange about it?” Ling Mo asked.
Yuwen Xuan rummaged around his body for a while, finally pulling out a blackened object from his pocket and handing it to Ling Mo: “This is what I found here.”
“Keep it away from me.” Ling Mo said irritably, “What is it?”
The already filthy Yuwen Xuan had to shake the thing out, and although it was covered in silt, the shape was still recognizable…
It was a thong!
“You pervert!” Xu Shuhan exclaimed, her sharp eyes catching it immediately.
Ling Mo also gave him a meaningful look… Even in a place like this, he couldn’t resist collecting this stuff. Truly… a pervert…
“It’s not mine!” Yuwen Xuan defended, “The point is, when I picked it up, it was hanging on the wall. And it was clean.”
“Whether it’s yours or not, it’s still perverted…” Xu Shuhan said disdainfully.
Ling Mo paused: “Clean?”
“Yes!” Yuwen Xuan nodded affirmatively.
What was going on… Two men discussing a thong?
Xu Shuhan couldn’t even continue her scolding… But she also realized from the shock that this thong wasn’t that simple…
In a place littered with corpses, finding a pair of underwear or two was normal… But the abnormality lay in the fact that it was clean… What did that imply?
“This definitely wouldn’t be from a corpse,” Ling Mo suddenly said, “Any corpse would inevitably be dragged into the mud, so it couldn’t stay clean. So…”
“You mean… this was collected by the Monsters?” Xu Shuhan ventured.
“That’s exactly what piqued my interest!” Yuwen Xuan’s eyes sparkled, “As Monsters, why would they be interested in human women’s thongs? And even hang them on the wall… If they liked the human scent, wouldn’t they collect used… ahahaha, forget the last part…”
“I’m suddenly curious how you found it… Do you have an underwear detection radar?” Xu Shuhan couldn’t take it anymore. It was supposed to be a puzzling matter, but why did it sound so twisted coming from him? Continuing the mission was supposed to be about Monster detection, but he made it sound like a perverted underwear hunt…
Ling Mo also glared at him, though he had thought the same… But could he say that in front of Xu Shuhan? However, if Xia Na and the others were here, they might have come up with even more outrageous terms…
“I was feeling my way inch by inch. Actually, besides this, I also…” As he spoke, Yuwen Xuan pulled out more items from his pocket and tossed them on the ground one by one.
All underwear…
