That was indeed Cheng Shi's plan.
In a trial with so many people that they could not be counted, finding Little Seven's true body was practically impossible. Even if the Beast Tamer's true body could not be too far from his beasts, completing the task amid sufficient chaos and an abnormal number of interfering targets would be no different from searching for a needle in a haystack.
So, to deal with this "trouble" called Little Seven, he could only change his approach. For example...
Let his true body come looking for him.
Before learning that Little Seven was probably using his beasts to share his emotional burden, Cheng Shi had never thought of a good way to break through this predicament. But now he had one. Not only had he thought of it—Destiny had even stuffed the "key" into his hands.
The Filth and Decay container.
If Little Seven picked up the Filth and Decay container and sensed that this "item" could extract his many emotions and desires, then this emotionally abnormal Beast Tamer would certainly treat it as a priceless treasure. That way, he could reclaim all the power scattered among his beasts without having to weaken himself and lose intelligence merely to keep his emotions relatively normal, thereby becoming a "complete" Beast Tamer.
And under the absolute calm brought about by the container's influence, Little Seven would also wonder whether he should take this opportunity to resolve Cheng Shi once and for all.
After all, the item had fallen from Cheng Shi's hands. Combined with Little Seven's prejudice and obsession toward him... Cheng Shi truly could not find a single reason why the other man would not come kill him.
And this was also the period he had drawn at the end of this old, worn-out relationship.
