Bai Ge controlled the sickly man's pistol but did not kill him immediately.
Instead, he leaned his head slightly forward, and the sickly man vanished.
Not only that, but the various thugs lying on the ground had merely lost the ability to move.
Bai Ge brought them into the mindscape one by one before finally finishing them off. This was for the sake of collecting souls. If they died in reality, their souls could not be seen and might even dissipate very quickly.
When bringing them into the mindscape, he had not completely touched them. He had merely approached to within four centimeters of their noses, and they had vanished.
This was a new discovery for Bai Ge.
The range of entry into and exit from the mindscape was not based on the size of his head, but on the size of his soul.
He had absorbed two souls, causing his own soul to swell considerably. Inside the mindscape, he could see the Soul Field of his soul, which extended beyond his head.
Previously, the Soul Field had been the same size as his head, so entering and exiting the mindscape required him to press it against his skull.
That was no longer necessary. He merely had to approach within four centimeters of his head, meaning the radius covered by the Soul Field had grown by four centimeters.
This discovery made it nearly impossible for him to refuse to absorb souls. It was the only method he had discovered that could expand the mindscape's range of influence.
In the future, when his Soul Field grew even larger, he would be able to draw objects into the mindscape from a considerable distance away.
After dealing with the twelve thugs, Bai Ge had gained not only twelve souls, but also five kilograms
