Chapter 116 Jiang Yue's Basement Secret Exposed
Jiang Yue glanced down at the crystal core in her hand and thought that it was because the crystal core wasn't pretty enough that Lu Yize didn't like it.
While Lu Yize was still lost in thought, he felt a cool sensation in his palm. Looking down, he saw Jiang Yue placing the crystal core in her hand into his palm.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on her fingertips, and Jiang Yue looked up and smiled at him.
Zombies don't laugh, but she's seen many people smile.
She imitated them, her lips curving upwards to reveal a stiff but human-like smile that involved her facial muscles.
"Give it to me?" Lu Yize pinched her fingertips, playing with the crystal core in his hand.
Jiang Yue nodded, "Here you go."
Although Lu Yize knew that Jiang Yue felt that the crystal core was not as easy to absorb after she obtained the superpower core, he still appreciated her behavior.
Jiang Yue, however, put her clever mind to work and knew the difference between eating only one meal and eating every meal.
Lu Yize accepted the crystal core Jiang Yue gave him and temporarily stored it in his spatial storage. He then took out another energy core of the same level and placed it in Jiang Yue's hand, saying, "Absorb it well and advance to the next level as soon as possible."
Jiang Yue has a natural urge to devour superpower cores, just like she does when facing Lu Yize, her reserve food.
Sleeping with the food reserves every day, she only smelled and nibbled at them, showing great restraint, at least not swallowing them whole.
After receiving the superpower core, Lu Yize asked Jiang Yue to sit on the sofa and absorb it. Jiang Yue did as he said, and she absorbed the superpower core much faster than she absorbed the crystal core.
While she was sitting and absorbing the supernatural core, Lu Yize enveloped her with his supernatural power and used his mental energy to search for Jiang Yue's crystal core again.
I want to figure out the difference between the crystal core of a zombie and the superpower core of a human, and whether their structures are different.
Jiang Yue clearly felt a spiritual force that did not belong to her lingering on the crystal core. Her natural fear made her nerves tense, and she instinctively wanted to resist and fight back.
However, upon realizing that the other party was Lu Yize, she instantly restrained and suppressed her arrogant mental abilities.
Lu Yize was slightly surprised. The supernatural power that had been lingering around the crystal core and resisting his contact had dissipated on its own and was not resistant to his mental energy entering.
At the same time, he felt a pain in his leg, clearly feeling the unfamiliar spiritual energy entering. Jiang Yue, feeling uneasy, reached out and tightly gripped his leg to gain a sense of security.
Lu Yize's spiritual power roamed freely within Jiang Yue's crystal core, exploring its structure.
In fact, it is no different from the human's superpower core. The crystal core is also divided into twenty-one pieces, but these cannot be observed with the naked eye. Instead, they must be sensed with superpowers.
Like the superpower core, each crystal core contains star particles. Just like a second-tier human superpower user, each component of a second-tier zombie needs to have forty-nine star particles lit up.
Jiang Yue has already lit up five parts, probably because she has a sufficient number of crystal cores recently.
As Lu Yize tried to investigate how zombies could use their supernatural abilities and lit up the stars on their own, Jiang Yue suddenly trembled just as his mental energy wrapped around one of the stars.
The next moment, Lu Yize was swept away by a surge of psychic power.
When Lu Yize opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dimly lit basement.
He quickly calmed down and realized that his mental energy had been absorbed into Jiang Yue's memories.
He exists within fragments of Jiang Yue's memory, unable to affect those memories in any way; he is more like a bystander, watching what happened in the past.
Lu Yize couldn't leave for the time being, but he wasn't in a hurry and just looked around.
After taking just two steps, he discovered a photo album in the cabinet, filled with several pages of photos of him being secretly taken.
The shelves were filled with odds and ends. If it weren't for the labels under each item, Lu Yize probably wouldn't have remembered that he had ever lost these things.
"That's really perverted, Jiang Yue."
Lu Yize curled the corners of his mouth as he examined the basement, which was filled with Jiang Yue's dark and peculiar hobbies.
Looking closely at this dimly lit basement, it's actually quite similar to the one-bedroom apartment they lived in together in their previous life; the furnishings and layout clearly reflect the same person's habits and style.
However, this basement was much larger than the one where he and Jiang Yue had survived in their previous life. Lu Yize heard the sounds from behind the wall before he went inside.
As he walked further in, he saw a hidden compartment in the room, containing a bed.
A sleeping girl lay on the bed, curled up in this dark corner, her long black hair covering half of the clean white bed, her legs bent and naked on her side.
He was only wearing a summer school uniform that Lu Yize had thrown away at some point, with Lu Yize's student number and name still on his chest.
Lu Yize lowered his head and reached out to touch the familiar face. It didn't look much different from when he was a child. He had grown up and was gentler than when he was a zombie, with less of a ferocity.
“Lu...Yize”.
In his sleep, Jiang Yue called his name, and Lu Yize's heart resonated with her. This was the first time he had heard Jiang Yue, in human form, call his name.
"Jiang Yue."
The female voice coming from outside the door suddenly woke the girl on the bed. Lu Yize was right in front of her. At this moment, the two seemed to be looking at each other across time and space.
But then the basement began to dissipate piece by piece, along with Jiang Yue, who was standing right in front of him.
Lu Yize was ejected from Jiang Yue's memories, and when he opened his eyes again, he was met with Jiang Yue's dark eyes now.
Jiang Yue was clearly flustered. Although she didn't know why she was flustered, she felt a sense of dread that her well-hidden secret had been discovered.
The image of a dimly lit basement and herself lying in bed flashed through her mind.
As a zombie, Jiang Yue didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but she vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
Jiang Yue's smooth brain couldn't handle such a complicated matter. She put the superpower core in her pocket and wanted to run away before Lu Yize could react.
The whole corpse was acting suspiciously, clearly wanting to sneak away.
But Lu Yize grabbed her hand, a rare smile on his face, and asked, "Where are we going?"
Despite being a thick-skinned zombie, Jiang Yue felt burning with embarrassment under Lu Yize's gaze, as if shame was crawling out from the depths of her soul, urging her to repent for her sins.
She half-closed her eyes, smoothly avoiding Lu Yize's gaze, and guiltily spread out her hands, revealing the superpower core on them, "Upgrade."
Hmm, very good, very ambitious.
Lu Yize pulled Jiang Yue up and let her sit on his lap. Jiang Yue was stunned and turned to leave, but was stopped by someone.
Lu Yize untied the scarf around her neck, his fingers sliding down the end of the scarf and resting on her waist.
Zombies aren't ticklish, but their cold bodies can clearly feel the temperature around their waists.
Lu Yize lifted her hem, his hand touching her waist, his fingertips lingering on a patch of skin, and chuckled, "GZ130101, I thought it was something tattooed on your waist."
