Lu Zihao watched as Jin Liwei froze into a horrified statue. A wave of dizziness overcame him as his body protested against hurting its Third Brother like this.
'Stop it. Lu Zihao is gone. You're my body now,' he mentally hissed.
The original Lu Zihao was already dead and gone, but the body still retained strong remnants of its original owner like muscle memory. After all, they had been together since conception in the womb up until the original Lu Zihao died and was replaced by the soul of Nikolai Vetrov. Suddenly finding itself housing a strange soul, of course there would be some form of rejection in the body one way or another.
To reduce rejection and increase compatibility, he did his best to match the original Lu Zihao's personality and habits. It proved to be an effective method, except at times like this when he reverted back to Nikolai's strong and intense personality.
"While seeking revenge, dig two graves—one for yourself."

This chapter was so hard to write. Phew. It was so difficult to find the right words to convey Lu Zihao/Nikolai's thoughts.
