"From the look of you, you don't seem surprised at all."
Lu Cang's expression was calm. The change in Kumiloni hadn't shaken him in the slightest.
"Have you still not realized what happened?"
Lu Cang merely shook his head, his gaze cool. "No. I know what this means."
Kumiloni had been controlled by Sophia.
Or, rather, possessed.
A look of compassion appeared on Kumiloni's face. "Do you have no feelings?"
"Kumiloni was a dear friend of yours, wasn't she?"
"Are you indifferent to her death?"
Lu Cang's expression remained utterly impassive.
His voice was equally steady. "If this had really happened, I think I'd be devastated. And furious."
"But right now, I only want to know why."
"I want to know why you did this."
Lein stood off to the side, not daring to make a sound.
Sophia met Lu Cang's gaze.
"You're very cunning."
"I couldn't even see through your identity. Who exactly do you represent?"
"Looks like you're not with Zhuya, either~ You've got a follower of Yakartikto with you, but Aegimiss never mentioned anyone like you."
"Or is some other god I don't know trying to get a piece of the Secret Sea?"
A piece of the Secret Sea.
What was there to gain from the Secret Sea?
Hadn't you released the Lord of the Ocean yourselves? And hadn't the Primordial Sea been freed from its Seal, too?
Come to think of it...
Lu Cang still had no idea who was behind the release of these things, or what they hoped to gain.
Surely they weren't doing it just to cause destruction?
Aside from Moon Star, who represented Death and Destruction, who else would do something so vile?
Kumiloni spoke flippantly. "Kid, tell me who you are."
"I might even let you off the hook."
