Chapter 905: Memories of Parasitization
Drawing the curtains was a delicate skill. Pull too fast, and there would be noise. With Fang Ying’s level of evolution, even the faintest of sounds would be enough to grab her attention. And then there was the question of how much to draw, and at what angle-both requiring careful thought. Let in too much light, and the whole effort would be rendered meaningless…
“Talking about it like it’s such a big deal, but honestly, it’s just because I’m freaking nervous!”
Ling Mo’s nerves were stretched taut. He kept his gaze fixed on Fang Ying as he took a cautious step back. At the same time, he said, “Do you know what it is?”
This kind of stalling tactic would normally be a recipe for disaster, but given Fang Ying’s current state, it somehow hit the mark perfectly. She ignored Ling Mo’s retreating movements, hastily asking, “Just tell me!”
“Don’t you want to take a guess?” Ling Mo stepped back a little further.
This time, a trace of impatience finally crossed Fang Ying’s face. She suddenly shouted, “Stop!” Then, with a suspicious look, she glanced at Ling Mo. “What are you up to?” Without waiting for him to respond, she waved her hand dismissively and said, “Just say it already. No matter what you’re scheming, as long as you’re in this company, you won’t accomplish anything. This place is a cage-not just for me, but also for outsiders like you.”
After throwing in a couple of unabashed threats, Fang Ying cast Ling Mo a quick, complicated glance. She hid her feelings well, but under Ling Mo’s heightened psychic perception, her subtle expressions didn’t escape his notice. He caught that fleeting look and couldn’t help but be amazed-seeing such human-like and nuanced emotion in the eyes of a zombie was truly something. This trip had already proven worthwhile. Unlike Xia Na, Fang Ying was a genuine Wild Zombie! Her evolutionary trajectory followed the most common path, which made her an excellent reference point…
A catalyst! There must be something unique sparking her transformation!
“Hehe, since you’re so eager to know… the answer is actually quite simple. When a human undergoes mutation, it happens in an instant-the moment the virus fully invades the body. And when I say ‘body,’ that includes the brain. Unless very specific measures are taken in advance, the process is irreversible. Based on the description you provided, that ‘sister’ of yours clearly didn’t have the means to circumvent it ahead of time. So, there’s no way she could have been aware of what she was doing at the moment of her mutation,” Ling Mo asserted with certainty.
