Chapter 59 - My Future As A Tentacle Monster (1/2)

After Ling Mo snapped back, he suddenly looked freaked out.

After staring at the gel part for a while, Ling Mo’s lips twitched slightly as he slowly moved his nose closer to it and inhaled deeply.

After waiting for two seconds with his eyes closed, Ling Mo’s expressions became odd. “Why do I think this thing smells nice?”

It was an extremely serious and important problem!

As a normal human, Ling Mo was shocked that the gel part from a zombie smelled good to him!

Ling Mo wanted to throw up when he smelled it before and it wasn’t exaggerating to say that he might faint from the smell if he breathed twice more.

Only Ye Lian and Xia Na would think it’s delicious because they were zombies.

Ling Mo always thought that it would be nice if the smell was a bit lighter… But he never expected himself to think that it smelled good!

The food belonged to zombies!

Ling Mo stared at the gel for a while with his mouth wide open and then abruptly stuffed it back into his pocket with complicated expressions.

No, this had to be an illusion! I haven’t turned into a zombie yet!

My sense of smell can’t possibly change just because I spend my days with zombies girls, right?

Although Ye Lian and Xia Na were mutated zombies, they didn’t smell like blood at all. Ling Mo was certain that they were even cleaner than most survivors. When he could find extra water sources, he would give the girls a shower. Of course, it wasn’t only for enjoying their proud body…

He was affected by Ye Lian because of the mutual connection they shared.

The more Ling Mo thought about it, the more doubts he had.

When he fought with zombie puppets or evolved, he would feel a franticness in his body as if he had turned into a zombie as well. However, he could still control it and there weren’t any problems if he controlled it.

The only time he lost control was inside the teahouse after Ye Lian swallowed the gel and evolved.

However, Ling Mo didn’t really put it on his mind and only thought that his will power wasn’t strong enough to be affected so much.

Now that he thought back to it carefully, his strong reaction towards the gel’s smell changed after that.

Ling Mo was too nervous that he may be changing into a zombie at that time to notice this detail.

If it couldn’t show the problem, then what was happening when he evolved his mind through their spiritual connection?

Although his physical appearance didn’t change and his sanity wasn’t influenced, his mind, and especially his five senses, seemed to be continuously changing slightly each time.

Would his ability to control zombies slowly turn him into a “zombie” in the human society? Ling Mo’s heart suddenly beat furiously.

“No, this shouldn’t happen…” Ling Mo frowned and thought that he more or less grasped the key point to the problem.

The biggest change in his connection with the zombies should be improving his mind, and strengthening his physical body came second.

Spiritual power was a term for the ability to concentrate, observe, and have the general will power to Ling Mo.

If that sense of franticness affected his will power, then his ability to control zombies should come from his ability to concentrate. But what about his change in smell? Did it have anything to do with his ability to observe?

Ling Mo took out the gel again in confusion and observed it carefully.

A thought suddenly flashed across his mind: can he observe this with his spiritual power? Just like what he did when he observed the zombies’ ball of consciousness?

Ling Mo was immensely interested in this idea in mind.

But as time passed second by second, the gel in his eyes still looked normal.

At this time, he discovered that his tentacles seemed to be covered in a layer of light redness.

Is this why he didn’t hate the smell of it as much?

After all, his spiritual power evolved with his ability to control zombies, and when he continuously maintained mutual connections with them, his spiritual power was also “infected”. Wasn’t the spiritual ball of consciousness of mutated zombies red like Yu Lian’s?

Now that Ling Mo thought through it, the franticness he experienced when facing gel parts all seemed to be related to the “infection” of spiritual power.

As expected, his spiritual power and mind were influenced even though he was still human.
