"Ah, just as I thought. Then we can only think of ways to create some panic or offer incentives." Jiu Ming stroked his chin and muttered words that sent a chill through the others. As for panic, it would probably arise even without him having to think of it.
The twisted aberration had not lain dormant without reason. That was likely a sign of its cunning.
