The moment Mai Sakatoku stepped into the living room, she was stunned by the sight before her: shattered windows, an overturned dining table, chairs strewn crookedly about, and dark red bloodstains on the floor. This was no ordinary residence—it was practically a murder scene!
Amon had killed the invading Corpse Guardian the previous night. He and Xia Mi did not wake up until nearly noon. Afterward, Amon had been busy dissecting the Corpse Guardian, while Xia Mi went to learn about Amon's past and alter memories. Neither of them had cleaned up the house.
The blood trail stretched from the center of the living room all the way down the corridor leading to the bedroom, finally vanishing beneath the bedroom door. Mai Sakatoku stared gravely at the tightly shut door, as if some monster lived inside.
Judging from the traces at the scene, someone had been killed, and then the body had been dragged into that seemingly ordinary bedroom.
Wait, this blood did not seem to be human blood... She made that judgment from its scent.
She opened the door, then immediately stepped back, not letting the effects of Underworld Reflection make her careless.
After waiting for a moment, she slowly entered the room.
Mai Sakatoku had already smelled the stench of blood and rot from the doorway. Though she had somewhat anticipated the scene inside, she was still stunned.
A Simmons mattress had been casually propped against one wall. On the bare wooden bed lay a corpse with a human body and a snake's tail. Its torso had been split open, its abdomen hollowed out completely, while dark red blood covered the wooden bed.
The blood was somewhat corrosive, leaving the wooden boards pitted and scarred. Beside the bed sat a plastic bucket containing the corpse's missing internal organs.
