Weird Mouth was devoured.
Under the tearing bites of the demonized Qin Ran and the Original Sins, not a scrap of Weird Mouth remained.
Having eaten their fill, the Original Sins vanished and returned to Qin Ran's heart.
Qin Ran could clearly sense how unusual this power was. It belonged to neither Dawn, demons, nor Original Sin, yet it conflicted with none of them.
It even offered some unknown benefit to Original Sin.
Feeling the Original Sins' delight drive his heart to beat ever more powerfully, Qin Ran frowned as his demonization ended and he returned to human form.
He did not know whether this was good or bad.
But he had no time to investigate it now.
Qin Ran swept his gaze around.

That was anything but normal.

Death!
Just like the Wealth Lady.
But how could the Torturer have died?
Qin Ran had never truly fought him.

Qin Ran instinctively thought of the Thorn Lady.
"It isn't what you think."
"Return to the Thorn Temple. I'll explain everything."

The Thorn Lady spoke with an urgency he had never heard from her before.
Qin Ran frowned.
He did not know what had happened, but the Thorn Lady's tone told him how serious it was.
