Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 627  The Scammers Are Truthful

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?

David\'s heart raced as he fought against the invisible controls binding him. No! He didn\'t want his skin used as a coat. But what could he do about it?

Others who heard the baby\'s words also had faces worse than death. And then, right before their very eyes, the winds began to howl, picking up little by little.

The grass rustled and moved in a circular direction, revealing strange carvings on the ground. Everyone\'s heart skipped a beat. What was that?

Aw….

Their minds didn\'t have time to think, because of the deadly winds that were almost kicking their feet off the grounds. Unscientific! Unscientific! No winds can just pick up like this with no warning. Again, this was all proof that what they were experiencing was anything but natural.

Wheeeee~

The winds picked up chaotically, to a point that everyone had to keep their hands over their faces and flinch back with squinting eyes. But they miraculously found that whenever they were about to fly away, the chilling force would keep them in place. The force was uncomfortable and sent a thousand icy arrows into their hearts. They didn\'t know much about Exorcism and the underworld, but they, as ordinary mortals, could tell that this force was anything but good. Pure evil! That\'s what it felt like. It felt like they were surrounded by a million dead bodies who also wanted to drag them into the abyss of death too. It was just one touch, yet, they were sweating as though drenched in a river. Terrible… they thought they were dead just now. Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh~

The creatures chuckled arrogantly.

And with a sudden burst of energy, they lunged at the humans, placing them to specific spots around the circle. Good… Good… Now, it was time for vessel assimilation. The baby in Clem Shi\'s hands, would still remain in the body it was in. However, its subordinates would take on the bodies of everyone here… including Clem Shi\'s body.

Plop~

Clem Shi now regained control of his own body and the Monnet his butt hit the ground hard. Not too far away from him were the Seats who also got dragged into this. However, what Clem Shi didn\'t know was that the days when he left the baby at his in-laws place overtime, it also did the same thing it did to Clem Shi. It\'s just that it was particularly careful when it came to dealing with older human bodies… After all, it didn\'t want to accidentally kill them or else it would be a waste of good skin. So although the Drays looked haggard these days, they didn\'t look as terrible as Clem Shi did. .

Without wasting time, Clem Shi gritted his leg and tried to move out of the circle. However, as though sensing his thoughts the vicious baby lunged at him, its small hands transforming into claws that glinted in the moonlight.

Too scary! "You think you can resist?... CLEM SHI, You\'re already mine!" GrrrrEe~

it hissed, sinking its claws into Clem Shi\'s chest.

Pain… pain… Pain shot through him like wildfire. The scent of fresh blood invaded his senses. It was his own blood. Dammit! Where are those so-called helpers? Did he get scammed? Did they lie to him from the very start?

Clem Shi gasped, feeling the darkness seep into his very soul. "Help! Someone help me!" he cried out, but his voice was swallowed by the shadows.

For no one would be able to hear a single thing from miles and miles away, especially with the mysterious circle now setup.

No! It can\'t end like this!

Clem Shi struggled against the baby\'s grip, feeling its influence seep further into his mind. The world around him blurred as shadows danced menacingly at the edges of his vision.

"Why resist?" the baby whispered seductively. "Embrace your fate! You belong to me now."

"No! I won\'t give up! You killed my son!... You did that to my wife!... It\'s you… it\'s all Y-O-U!" Clem Shi shouted defiantly, summoning every ounce of strength he had left.

The Drays also felt their pupils dance maniacally when staring at the floating baby strangling their Son-in-law. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Bastard! It was all you!" "You… Why, why didn\'t I listen to my Liana? The girl has never lied a single day in her life! So why would I–" "My grandson .. my poor daughter…"

Woooo~

The Drays cried and choked on their tears when thinking of everything that happened for the last few months. Yes! Yes! What kind of mother can bear to kill her own child? Their Liana must have known that the child was no longer hers, but something else. All she did was protect their family, but what did they do? They committed her to an asylum as her reward!

.

Wooooo~

Several people cried heavily, clutching their chests in remorse and regret. "Such spirit," the baby replied with a chilling laugh. "But spirit alone won\'t save you."

It\'s over… it\'s over… Clem Shi found himself almost losing consciousness, as the terrified cries and screams from the Drays and the others flooded his ears. It was all his fault. She was right… She has always been right. \'Liana… I\'m so sorry… If I had listened to you, then none of this would have ever happened.\' Salty water escaped Clem Shi\'s eyes, when thinking of his beloved Liana who would become an orphan, a widow and a woman who lost her baby too. The whole thing would definitely kill her, or make her truly go crazy, cementing her stay in the asylum even further.

But knowing how determined and strong the woman he married was, something told Clem Shi she might get out and return to this town for revenge. \'Liana, you silly woman… I hope you do not do what I think you will… Live well, and be happy.\' Clem Shi closed his eyes, accepting his fate as such. His only regret was stopping Liana that day she went to the roof to kill the baby. Why! Because it wasn\'t as strong as it was now.

 Now, it was too late. The baby\'s mouth now widened 11 times its size, as it used a mysterious power to force his mouth open too. And then, he felt his heart and inner vessels struggling to stay in place. Was this the end? Smiling bitterly, Clem Shi could almost see the cute face of his deceased son. \'Little Hai… daddy is coming to keep you company.\' BOOM! A loud explosive sound bombarded Clem Shi\'s ears, causing him to keep his eyes shut. Was this it?... Did his insides finally explode? (!_!)

Boom! There it was again! This time, Clem Shi\'s eyes pried wide open, only to meet the several good-looking people in uniform. Ah! "It\'s you!!" It was the lady who stopped him in the alley, a few days back. Hah-hah-hah… Hah-hah-hah! She came! She and her people, she said, came out to help him after all! No scam, just truth! Other than his wife, Clem Shi has never been so happy to see another woman so badly. So awesome?

These people looked so cool, with some even blowing bubblegum and handing their weapons on their shoulders without a car in the world. One could think they would look like ruffians, but for some reason, there was nobility and elegance in every action they took. Some held transparent swords, handing the tip on their chest and shoulders. Others already squatted on the creatures they just attacked, poking their weapon at the creatures. And at the center of the 4 guests, was an extraordinary looking boy who leaned lazily on a tree. What?

This time, it was the creatures and the baby\'s turn to react. Their eyes were now red-blooded with fury. "Foolish human!" the baby roared, breaking free with a violent swing of its claw. "You think your little tricks can hold me?"

With a flick of its wrist, over 60 creatures appeared from the shadows to join in once more. 5 against 60… isn\'t it obvious who would win at the end at this point? Not to talk of the fact that they were underworld creatures, beings far superior than these humans they fished out like prey. Oh? Obediah, chuckled after getting the go-ahead from Dorian. "Your arrogance blinds you," he taunted as he struck with a holy blade that glimmered in the moonlight.

"Come, let me show you just how powerful we can be."

BOOM!
