Chapter 181
"You enjoy the process of killing; you should be keen on watching such videos or live streams before the apocalypse."
They get excited when they see blood, have violent tendencies, often suffer from headaches and are irritable, and have the urge to hit or kill people when things don't go their way.
His mind was constantly replaying the image of dismembering a person.
Ling Xi spoke slowly, his clear, cool voice like a summer breeze, but the content of his words sent chills down one's spine and raised goosebumps all over.
As Ling Xi spoke, Yin Wang's face darkened to the extreme, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped to freezing point. Everyone felt as if they were in an ice cave, chilled to the bone.
"Let me guess who you want to dismember?" Ling Xi remained unaffected, smiling and pointing at Xiao Mingxu, Wang Tao, Qi Xiu, and Qu Chao.
"Him? Him? Him?"
"Or...her?" Ling Xi pointed at Rong Rong one last time.
Yin Wangmo charged forward as if to tear Ling Xi apart, but Rong Rong grabbed his arm in time, and he did not actually rush out.
Despite being a weak and fragile hand that could easily break, it seemed to contain boundless power, forcefully stopping Yin Wang and firmly fixing him in place.
Yin Wang's bloodshot eyes remained fixed on Ling Xi; he dared not turn around, dared not look at Rong Rong.
At the same time, including Ling Xi, Xiao Mingxu and the others swallowed the blood that surged to their throats. Yin Wang's mental power had just attacked them indiscriminately, and Qu Chao immediately lifted up a thick layer of soil to assume a defensive posture.
"So you're a pervert? No wonder I always felt something was off about you!" Wang Tao was still shaken, gripping the flame tightly in his hand without letting up, while reaching out to pull Rong Rong away, "Rong Rong, come quick! Don't stay with this pervert!"
Yin Wang instantly turned his eyes to Wang Tao. If it weren't for the fact that he looked exactly like a human and his heart was still beating, anyone would probably suspect that Yin Wang was a zombie, because his eyes had turned completely blood red.
Wang Tao coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggered backward, his vision blurred, and his head buzzed. Mental attacks are no joke; in severe cases, they can easily destroy a person's brain.
Rong Rong did not leave as Wang Tao had instructed, but instead patted Yin Wang's shoulder reassuringly.
As if soothing a raging beast, Yin Wang's stiff body gradually softened in no time.
At this point, Rong Rong felt that there was a high probability that Yin Wang was the future zombie king.
A born antisocial personality, he enjoys torturing and killing living beings and is on his way to the capital.
What a coincidence!
Upon hearing this news, Rong Rong was not afraid at all; on the contrary, she was happy that she had found the main villain ahead of time.
She wanted to nip the tragedy at the Beijing base in the bud!
Ling Xi saw through Rong Rong's thoughts, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He had seen too many innocent girls who wanted to reform demons, but all of them ended in tragedy.
The thought that Rong Rong also wanted to reform this potential killer made Ling Xi's emotions instantly unstable.
Ling Xi pinched his index finger hard with his thumb, trying hard to keep himself calm. He hadn't lost his composure like this in many years.
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.
Having worked as a criminal profiler for a long time, dealing with all kinds of criminals, analyzing their psychology, and understanding their upbringing, he realized that the difference between him and them was just a thought away.
The reason he can live openly and honestly in the sunlight is perhaps because he has a stronger ability to control himself.
But at this moment, just because he met someone, a delusion arose in his heart, and his control almost collapsed.
Ling Xi lowered his eyes, composed himself, and then raised his head again, his calm smile returning.
"You believe he won't kill someone? You want to give him a chance?" Ling Xi stared intently at Rong Rong.
In the real world, Rong Rong would definitely stay as far away from such a person as possible, but she is in the mission world now, and she wants to keep the big villain in check.
Although her task was simply to rewrite the original owner's tragic life, Rong Rong knew that if the original owner were alive, she would definitely stop the villain from destroying the Beijing base.
Therefore, Rong Rong chose to follow the original owner's wishes, hoping only that this kind girl could find some comfort.
"You've always been a good boy, I believe in you!" Rong Rong smiled at Yin Wang, her sweet smile like a ray of light shining on him, instantly warming his body as he trembled with cold.
Yin Wangchao forced a smile at Rong Rong, as if he had never smiled before; his expression was stiff and mechanical.
His dazed look amused Rong Rong, who burst out laughing.
Her silvery laughter was magical, instantly dispelling the tense atmosphere that had just been on the verge of conflict.
Ling Xi silently watched Rong Rong and Yin Wang. Not only did Rong Rong trust Yin Wang, but he was also quite certain that Yin Wang could suppress his true nature for Rong Rong's sake.
Do psychopaths and lunatics have no weaknesses? Of course they do; they are even more vulnerable than ordinary people.
He knew that originally only Yin Wang's weakness could awaken his conscience, but now that weakness had become Rong Rong.
Ling Xi deliberately kept quiet because he had already noticed that Rong Rong's feelings for Yin Wang were different. In just a few minutes after joining the team, he could tell from Rong Rong's body language that Yin Wang was the person she was closest to and trusted the most in the team.
He exposed Yin Wang's facade in order to break Rong Rong's dependence on him and eliminate Yin Wang, a formidable enemy, but the result was not as he expected.
For a moment, Ling Xi was somewhat troubled.
“This kind of person is a ticking time bomb. It’s not a matter of whether you believe it or not; you must stay away from him and not take any chances!”
For once, Xiao Mingxu changed his usual easygoing demeanor and spoke to Rong Rong in a somewhat forceful, almost commanding manner.
"I'm not a bomb!" Yin Wang's voice was hoarse as he looked earnestly at Rong Rong, as if he were pleading for an explanation. But his expression quickly turned blank, and he kept repeating, "I'm not!"
Yin Wang recalled that he had once said the same thing to his parents, which resulted in him being locked in the basement.
So why would Rong Rong distrust him, abandon him, and distance herself from him?
In an instant, Yin Wang trembled all over. He wanted to kill everyone present immediately and hold Rong Rong firmly in his hands.
But he knew he couldn't; Rong Rong would be scared, angry, and ignore him.
Finally, Yin Wang quieted down. He remained motionless with his head down, his body stiff as a stone, and he seemed to have stopped breathing. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a statue.
Ling Xi knew that, out of extreme fear, Yin Wang had completely shut himself off, immersing himself in his own world, and would no longer be able to perceive anything from the outside world.
That's good, Ling Xi relaxed his body.
From another perspective, he could be said to have eliminated one enemy.
