Mo Qiong and Master Gou wrapped themselves in two pieces of cloth, fastening them with safety pins, and walked openly through the underground city's streets.
Ahead of them were Catherine and Wu Yunmo of the Omega Group.
Catherine needed no explanation. Although she was old enough to be a grandmother, she had maintained the form of a Blond Little Boy from beginning to end.
The Second Form depended on one's mindset and gender identity. As long as those did not change, the Second Form would not change either.
