Although I couldn't control my body, my mind was clear.
I felt Du Yuwei's brutality firsthand.
She had actually torn the man's head clean off!
A headless corpse crashed to the ground, its head rolling off to one side.
The sight made my heart pound. The visual impact was even more intense than the foreign horror movies I'd watched.
But at that moment, I wasn't thinking about Du Yuwei's ruthlessness.
I was thinking that absolute power really could crush anything.
She could take a life just like that!
The remaining man looked terrified now too, but he must have had some ability, because he neither ran nor backed away.
He stared warily at me and said, "You've killed before. You've killed at least six people and swallowed their souls."
I shuddered inwardly.
Du Yuwei had already killed six people?
No wonder that talisman hadn't immobilized her.
"Did Du Ruhai send you?" Du Yuwei spoke, but it was my mouth that opened.
The man nodded. "Boss Du just wants you to come back. There's a man out there called Zhao Laoqi who wants to kill you. Mr. Du is protecting you."
"You should know who has your best interests at heart. Just come back with me and stop killing people. Otherwise, Zhao Laoqi won't be the only one coming after you. There are plenty of people like him."
Those words were meant to persuade Du Yuwei, but how could she listen? She and Du Ruhai were already mortal enemies.
What this man said was as good as provoking her.
"You won't be going back."
Du Yuwei's icy voice rang out again. "You're the next one I'll kill."
With that, she controlled my body and moved to kill again.
The man braced himself for a formidable enemy, but didn't panic at all.
