Bab 627: The Scammers Are Truthful

The clearing was eerily quiet, the tension palpable as Clem Shi stood frozen, the baby resting ominously on his chest. 

Earlier, he held a flicker in his heart, thinking he would definitely be rescued. But now when looking at the many incredulous and hideous creatures around him, he felt that no human could ever defeat such things that defied logic.

Clem Shi wished he could lower his gaze just like everyone else, but he wasn't in control of it. Just one glance at these creatures left his body wobbling like dancing noodles.

Clem Shi hoped for his rescuers to arrive, but that hope seemed to wane as the baby's eyes glowed brighter, radiating a sinister energy.

"Daddy," the baby cooed, its voice dripping with malice. "You should be proud. I've chosen you as one of my vessels."

Vessels? Is that what it meant by saying it wanted his human coat earlier? Was it his skin?
