Shadow In Your Mind [ARC 1- 5]

Chapter 174 - A loyal subject to the Queen

XG 174 - A loyal subject to the Queen

The same situation happened to the other bitten males that were also cursed by Ari, creating a more chaotic situation inside the base.

"Xue Guo! Try to cover the female zombie's eyes! After that, remove your shadow from us!" Chen Yibo suggested and she immediately followed the plausible suggestion.

At the sudden blindness, Ari screamed in a high-pitched sound that had everyone wincing and rubbing their abused ears. Wong Xue Guo removed her shadow from everyone's eyes as Ari does not seem to be able to attack with her shadow firmly covering her eyes.

Once regained his vision, L.L quickly turned to where Kang Xunsu was. Fortunately Kang Xunsu, perhaps at a distance away from them, was not pulled into obeying the female zombie's word.

A warm hand suddenly clasped over Wong Xue Guo, nearly causing her to jump out of her skin.

"Let's use our ability together," Chen Yibo said.

She could feel his energy mixed with hers, coexisting harmoniously that seemed rather intimate. Distracted by the feeling, she did not stop Chen Yibo from taking the lead, allowing him to borrow her ability.

He spoke straight into Ari's mind. "Stop."

Chen Yibo could hear Ari's mind, albeit like a broken channel with statics interfering with the connection. As she could still think, it means she still has her own consciousness and would be susceptible to mind manipulation.

"You have your own mind. You should know what you are doing is wrong."

Ari could not see anything, and her ability could not do its job when she could not see. It was as if the entire world had lost its sun, where she had always felt that way under Duljjae's torture. ["What the hell is this?"]

"Stop what you are doing," Chen Yibo repeated.

["Get out of my head, creep!"] Ari screamed in her head, more emotional than her current facial appearance could express.

"It does not work," Chen Yibo said worriedly.

"Let me try." It was easier for Wong Xue Guo to search for Chen Yibo's energy for the second time and follow its path to the female zombie.

Just like Chen Yibo, she was surprised that the female zombie's mind was just like a normal person's. She stayed a bit longer and easily discovered she was a bitter, man-hating person that would drag everyone down to hell just to release her pent-up hatred for men.

["Why did you come to Musihada?"]

It was good that the female zombie answered honestly without delay, but the content caused Wong Xue Guo to frown heavily.

Even her trip to the Musihada base was linked to her hatred of men. There were plenty of unreasonable excuses for her to justify her actions and blame it on others, just because they did not 'save' her.

The last point was enough for Wong Xue Guo to put this female zombie on the 'non-redeemable' list. She had done what she could by offering an alliance to help the survivors which Duljjae did not appreciate. Did Ari expect her to pull out her sword and slay Duljjae's group when they have no personal grudge? Or even benefit from doing so?

I'm not a self-sacrificing saintess!

If Ari had done something to grab their attention and begged for help, that would be a different story. But she had not seen Ari before from the start till the end!

... Well, not that she had been actively peeping into the sleazy tents with R-rated sounds coming from them.

But it was a disreputable fact that Ari was too dangerous to be left alone.
