Tom looked at Zuo Ci, whose expression was maniacal, with the gaze one reserves for a madman. He wanted to get up, but his battered and broken body declared a strike.
No matter how much effort Tom made, he simply couldn't rise again, let alone stop Zuo Ci from continuing his steps toward Fang Xiaocao.
Over by the car, Mantis was also struggling.
She tried to get up, but her body likewise signaled that she needed rest.
Despite her full exertion of strength, she couldn't stand, and could only watch helplessly as Zuo Ci moved step by step to stand before Fang Xiaocao.
"Fang Xiaocao…"
"Oh, no, wait."
"It's Grandma Xiaocao!"
When speaking the words "Grandma," Zuo Ci's grotesque face revealed a playful expression.
Zuo Ci crouched in front of Fang Xiaocao and muttered softly, "Thank you for teaching me, someone born naturally fierce, how to master hypnotism. And for proposing the idea of integrating hypnotism with technology, opening up an entire new world for me."
