"And because he was actually already 'dead,' any injuries to his body would heal like those of a night-walking species, leaving him unbeatable."
"At least, that was how it looked."
"But according to the calculations, absorbing the supernatural power of impersonators the way Lao Mo did would turn someone into an impersonator in a very short time... yet he didn't, because he anchored himself and the Cafeteria together."
