"Mr. Yi... is this the Tomie you chose? She's certainly not bad—very special, and exceptionally obsessed with you. If she really makes it to the end, this brand-new phenomenon might become your little follower."
"That would be quite interesting."
The Mother Entity's voice came from across the ocean. A man slowly emerged from the shadows on the deck. It was Yi Chen, who had always been acting as an "audience member."
He said nothing, merely watching Catherine, who now possessed the Mother Entity's form.
"Heehee! I saw the love letter she wrote to you. Want me to repeat it for you? It was so mushy! Such a cute little girl—Mr. Yi will definitely be gentle with her and won't do anything reckless, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the phantom of a guillotine appeared around Catherine's neck.

"By then, Miss Xin Zhi, who is currently 'eating' everyone, will be mobbed.
"I suggest you refrain from killing me. After all, this is the reward she deserves..."
The execution blade, condensed from death, suddenly fell. The Mother Entity's head was severed, and ink-black blood sprayed wildly.
Strangely, Catherine did not die immediately this time. Instead, one woman's head after another grew from the surface of the Mother Entity's body.

"I was clearly thinking of you, yet you turned around and killed me. That really makes me unhappy.
"I wonder if I can defeat Mr. Yi now that I'm in the ocean?"
