A psychological suggestion, a Faceless transformation, or had the Desire Apostle turned her against them?
In an instant, several possibilities flashed through Klein's mind, but he immediately realized that both he and Isengard had made a basic mistake they never should have made.
The Desire Apostle's Seed of Fear did not work only on ordinary people!
Or rather, the "emotional breakdown" that had just affected most of the detectives present was merely one part of the Desire Apostle's overall plan. He had not expected a few ordinary people in extreme panic to use revolvers to kill everyone, nor had he even expected them to hurt anyone.
