Bab 643: 642. I have something to tell you_1

"You say Gaude's innards vanished into thin air?"

Bronning seemed to be thinking, as he countered with a question but didn't wait for Lu Ban or Shia's answer before murmuring to himself.

"My corpse has characteristics of a Sludge Monster, capable of absorbing other people's souls and mimicking the corresponding person. After being attacked by me, did it shed its own organs and transform into someone else?"

"But you must have already met everyone at Storm Villa. No matter who it wants to turn into, it would be noticeable, unless... it turned into someone who didn't originally belong here."

Bronning looked at Lu Ban and Shia.

"Have you also encountered someone who wasn't here from the start?"

The thunder roared at that moment, and trees in the distance seemed to be struck by lightning again, bursting into fierce flames, shining brightly in the pitch-black night, reflected against the deep purple lightning, as if it was the end of the world.
