The black fog grew thicker.
Wen Xishu suddenly took out a game controller. Its intricate design struck even Horn as absurd. It seemed far too complicated.
It was his first time seeing a controller with almost as many buttons as a keyboard.
Wen Xishu said,
"This thing shows you everyone within range you can establish a link with. You can use it to control me."
Horn said,
"You think I can use this?"
Wen Xishu had considered controlling Horn instead. After all, when he controlled Zheng Zai, Zheng Zai had become strong enough to slaughter his way through hordes of monsters.
If he controlled Horn, perhaps Horn could even leave his wheelchair-or ride it into battle and slaughter everything...
But clearly, Horn still wasn't powerful enough to face the Sin Sea Behemoth.
The controller's drawback was its overly complicated controls. Its advantage, however, was that the stronger the person being controlled, the greater the bonus stats it granted.
Wen Xishu said,
"Give it a try. We still have a little time before the monster appears, and there's a long way to go before the twenty-four hours are up. We can't keep running forever. From what we've seen, this monster really can pinpoint our location. If possible, we'd be better off killing it outright."
"Abandoning Mia might be an option, but we don't know why the Sin Sea Behemoth is brainwashing him. Mia has clearly already realized... that women exist."
"But now that concept is disappearing from Mia's mind. For all we know, the Sin Sea Behemoth is doing this because it's a way to reduce the incongruity even further."
Horn was clever too, and immediately took the controller.
He thought Wen Xishu had a very good point.
Why hadn't the Sin Sea Behemoth killed Mia? Mia hadn't even been injured.
