Kapitel 499: Awakening [3]

"Are you afraid that I will take over your body?" 

His soft voice continued to ring inside of my head. 

"Don't worry. 

Clank. Clank. Clank. 

I heard a familiar rattling sound. 

"Even if I wanted to take over your body, with these chains binding me, there's no way for me to do that."

Clank! 

Pulling his arm, the rattling stopped and a loud metallic ring echoed through the air. 

"As you can see, no matter what I do, I will always be bound by the chains. I can't take over your body even if I wanted to..." 

I wanted to deny his words, but I knew. 

I knew that he was telling the truth. 

I couldn't explain it. But, I could tell that he wasn't lying about this. 

Was it because he was me? ...or was this another mind trick? I no longer could tell. 

"You can choose to not believe me, but you don't have time." 

I gazed at the projection.
