The neophytes stared in uncertainty. What exactly was going on?
Wasn't Li Anjun just an ordinary mortal? He had encountered two daemons in succession and even looked the second straight in the eyes. Shouldn't a mortal have gone mad long ago?
The neophytes had no idea what to do. Their Chapter Master had ordered them to bring back this mortal who had survived daemonic possession, but...
Nobody knew whether the daemon was still inside Li Anjun.
A Space Wolves neophyte suddenly leapt over to Li Anjun and sniffed him hard.
