At that moment, a strange feeling rose in Lin Yu's heart.
He sensed that something within Abe Shinji's body had been caught by the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit in his right hand, but that thing was far from obedient.

Watching Yama disappear, Lin Yu thought calmly. The reason he had preserved Abe Shinji's soul was that he feared Sima Hao would notice something wrong once Abe Shinji's soul dispersed. After all, Abe Shinji's soul had already been infiltrated
