"Pablo?"
"Wasn't he in his room? Why hasn't he come over?"
Ash and Hank immediately had a bad feeling when they heard that.
Ruby walked straight to Pablo's door and kicked it open, only to find the room empty.
"He's gone." Everyone present was instantly puzzled.
"I set up a barrier here. Ordinary people can't leave it." Wu Heng frowned.
As if remembering something, Ash hurried back to his room, then emerged empty-handed.
"My Demon Skull is gone. I suspect Pablo took it!" Ash sighed.
His weapon had been modified from Eligos's skull. Although the demon's body had become Ash's body, some demonic power still remained within its head.
That included the ability to turn invisible.
Though it was a weakened version, aside from Ash, who had been tailor-made for it and thus faced lower requirements—
Anyone who wanted to forcefully use it needed to possess a power essence greater than its own.
"A Great Evil Spirit!"
Ash's pupils contracted as he uttered those three words.
"Pablo's disappearance is definitely connected to the Great Evil Spirit. It may have lured him away or kidnapped him."
"No!"
Kelly's expression turned grave as she denied it.
"Do you remember Pablo's injured foot? He lost one foot because of the Great Evil Spirit's attack."
"If I hadn't fired in time and shot through his thigh, stopping those maggots spreading upward from his ankle, they would have devoured him long ago."
"At the time, we thought we had dealt with it in time and isolated the maggots."
"But now that I think about it, can the Great Evil Spirit's evil really be cut off so easily?"
Her words reminded the others.
"So Pablo was invaded by the Great Evil Spirit's power, then controlled by it, and used Ash's weapon's invisibility to leave this place?"
