BXBX NOVEL Chapter 48 - 3.5
"I am Ling Kai, the Zombie King. Ru Lan, I will make you eat my brain."
[…]
[Pupa:…]
[Did I hear it right?]
[Pupa: Yes.]
[Eat his brain? I can\'t— I can\'t even imagine eating a zombie brain! Gross!]
[Pupa: Zombie brain comes in the form of a brain bead, remember? So that means, he wants you to eat his brain bead.]
[That\'s still gross!]
[Pupa: Maybe this is what happened to Bi He in the previous world, he ate Ling Kai\'s brain bead and turned violent and out of control. Poor guy, he was a good man.]
[What about me? Don\'t you feel pity if I have to eat that too?!]
[Pupa: Restart is always an option.]
…
Ling Kai was satisfied with Ru Lan\'s terrified expression. Although he didn\'t show it blatantly, Ling Kai could notice it through the small gesture of trying to avoid his eyes and gulped a few times.
Ling Kai clenched Ru lan\'s jaw and opened it forcefully, he grinned when he saw Ru Lan\'s pink tongue, "President Ru has a good tongue, it makes me want to pull it off."
Ling Kai lowered his head and their lips met. Ling Kai\'s tongue delved deep inside Yunyu\'s mouth. Yunyu tried to push that aggressive tongue which suddenly invaded his inside, but Ling Kai did something to his body that made him suddenly froze on the spot.
With Yunyu unable to move his body, Ling Kai poured something into his mouth. It was not a saliva, it was similar to a gummy bear, which Yunyu swallowed directly. Yunyu\'s eyes widened as Ling Kai finally released him.
Yunyu coughed a few times, he felt that something was stuck in his throat, but he couldn\'t vomit it out. He glared at Ling Kai, "What did you do?!"
Ling Kai smirked, he sat on the bench near them and then pointed his finger at Yunyu who was still on his knees. He hooked his finger and said, "Come here, dog."
Yunyu felt that he was numb and his body started moving on his own. He was terrified to see himself walking like a dog towards Ling Kai\'s direction. He stopped in front of Ling Kai, although he glared at Ling Kai with his death stare, his body was not his own.
"Bark," Ling Kai commanded.
"Woof!"
"Good boy," Ling Kai laughed as he patted Yunyu\'s permed head.
[Oh my god, what is this!? Did I swallow his brain bead?! System, I can\'t move my body at all!]
[Pupa: I don\'t think so. If you swallowed his brain bead already, you would not be able to communicate with me.]
[… should\'ve tried swallowing the brain bead then.]
[…]
Although Yunyu couldn\'t move his body, his eyes and lips were still his own, "Is this what you did to Bi He?"
"Yes, but I didn\'t let him swallow that much of essence, unlike you. Because he is a weak man without his ability. But you are indeed amazing, both your mental and physical prowess are top notch. I would not regret giving my brain bead to you later."
"Did I just swallow your essence?"
"It\'s just liquid from my brain, your body is now mine. I can control your body like a puppet,��� Ling Kai caressed Ru Lan\'s cheek and continued taunting him, "I wonder what will your people think if they see their mighty president stripping his suit in front of them, and give them a nude striptease? That would be interesting to watch, ahahaha!"
"Don\'t you dare!" Ru lan roared, he didn\'t want his people to see him in shameful display. His reputation was on the line.
"Ahahaha! Okay, okay! I was just messing around," Ling Kai patted Ru Lan\'s head again and then said, "You are interesting to bully, a good toy."
"What is your intention? You won\'t get away with this!"
"My intention? I just need a strong body to take my brain bead, so I can get a human body for myself," Ling Kai answered truthfully. He didn\'t need to hide it from Ru Lan anyway, because he already made Ru Lan his target. If he could get Ru Lan\'s body, it would be a good trade.
"You are the best human contender for me, so I will use you as my new body," Ling Kai grinned from ear to ear, "Consider it an honor."
"You! I will not let you do that!"
"Ah, that would be troublesome~" Ling Kai rested his leg on the kneeling Ru Lan, he looked very relaxed, "I need my new body to accept my brain bead. Because for me to transfer into a new body, I need you to be submissive in both mind and heart."
"Then I will never—"
"Worry not, we have plenty of times. I will make sure that you are willing to submit fully, so I can get a strong body for myself."
[Hm… If he can transfer his consciousness with a normal human like this, does he count as a zombie or not?]
[Pupa: He is still a zombie. Why do you ask?]
[I mean, he is technically inside a living person\'s body. Does that mean he can set up a big tent?]
[Pupa:… you have bigger worries than that.]
[But that\'s still an important question!]
Ling Kai was getting bored when playing with puppet Ru Lan. He released his control and then pointed at a few zombies. Five zombies turned into glow zombies ready to attack Ru Lan. He commanded, "Kill those zombies quickly or I will use your lightning to blow up this supermarket."
After Yunyu regained control over Ru lan\'s body, he glared at Ling Kai, but he knew that he couldn\'t kill him, thus, he focused his gaze at five zombies that were charging at him, the zombies were getting nearer, but Yunyu couldn\'t use an explosion. He jumped to the side and looked around to see something he could use.
"Just use your explosion, you are wasting your time~ I want to leave this dark supermarket soon," Ling Kai taunted. But Yunyu ignored him. He saw a sharp metal plate on the floor. Yunyu picked it up and threw it up.
Yunyu closed his palms together and opened it quickly. A long whip made out of electricity was created from his palm. Yunyu grabbed the electric whip and caught the sharp metal plate on the air with the tail of the whip.
Yunyu used the sharp metal as the tip of the whip, "Electric snake!"
Yunyu lashed the whip and the sharp tip immediately pierced one glow zombie\'s head. The electric snake lashed in a zag move as it pierced one glow zombie\'s head to another. In a blink of an eye, five glow zombies dropped dead with their glowing brain beads burst out of their head.
Yunyu was breathing heavily, his adrenaline rushed him to act quickly or he would die.
[Pupa: It\'s still beyond my understanding how skilful you are with lightning. It feels like you\'ve mastered this power for a long time.]
[Hehe, maybe I\'m just very talented.]
Ling Kai watched in fascination. Regular humans would desperately try to use any means, or even running away, when faced with five feral zombies. Glow zombie was not an easy zombie to decapitate, because they were quick and their movement was unpredictable.
But Ru Lan successfully decapitated all of them in one move. He was worthy of being his new body.
Ling Kai had something in mind however. It would be boring if he took control over Ru Lan\'s body without much struggle. His life was boring after all, he had been like this for ten years without anything interesting. He didn\'t know anything except his name, and he felt that living in human settlement was useless. He only came to Duran city because his current body started rotting even after he preserved it with his power.
Bi He\'s constantly regenerating body caught his interest at first, but that guy didn\'t have any offensive ability at all, that was boring.
But now, President Ru Lan\'s amazing mental and physical fortitude, added with his quick reflex and amazing raw power, caught his interest more.
\'I wonder what kind of game I can play with this human.\'
[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to 10%.]
