After corruption, the thing inside the shell was no longer human. It was replaced by a ferocious monster possessing the original's memories and personality, one that had become cruel, twisted, and evil—filled with a malice identical to that of an Abyssal Creature.
'Shouldn't it be mindlessly pouncing on me, trying to eat me? Then we'd have a desperate, life-or-death battle, and in the end, I'd pull off some incredible maneuver for a clutch victory?'
'Or is this a trap? The moment I step inside, will it toss its head back as a signal and shout, "Rats, get him! Take this kid down!"?'
Zhou Chen frowned, not acting rashly. He stood his ground, tightened his grip on the dining knife in his hand, and chose to wait and see.
"I... I killed her..." he choked out, his voice breaking into sobs. "I didn't mean to. I couldn't control myself... I really couldn't... I killed her..."
