Hidden Agenda VI

Shen Rou waved her hand and the ten sparkling little golden flames dispersed around the central room which was tens of thousands of metres long and wide, and about one hundred metres high.

TAT. She clicked her fingers again and the golden flames became bigger and sparkled brighter.

"Uh?! There I am…" In the distance, she saw her body. She was still cross-legged and around her, the three men that had formed the barrier to protect her were still holding their positions. The four of them were the only ones lying in a perfectly fine position on the yellowish floor.

"Eh…?" When she was to a close-enough distance, she saw a long grey stain that went from her mouth down to her neck, "blood, grey?" she tilted her head, 'I remember having coughed blood but why it is grey? The Sweet Holy Poison only affects the soul and I wasn't a Lord God… unless… I was fed another poison? But…' she squatted down once she was before her body, 'that would have been a waste. With my soul immobilized, my body was fated to be it too, hmm…' she stared at the greyish blood with half-opened eyes for a while.

"Ughh…"

'Many things come to my mind. There are many poisons that make the blood turn grey but… aside from me coughing, I don't remember feeling another body discomfort…'

"Haa- Never mind for now…" she closed her eyes before suddenly opening them, 'It is not me on who I should focus.'

She stood up and walked towards one of the three bodies encircling hers, 'Of my twe- no, of my nine follo…' she paused her words, remembering something, '[~We are friends, then.

'[-Friends? You are the one that one-sided decided to follow me…]'

'Now that I think, why whenever I referred to them as a bunch was either as my followers or generals but never as a friends, though I treated them as one and because of that many took many liberties that gave me headaches but there were ones that never stepped their boundaries, taking their roles too seriously, pffth…'

"AH!"

'What's with all this remembrance, it's not as though they have died Shen Rou,' she shook her head, "I will bring you all back and in your best of conditions," a determined light shone brightly in her golden eyes.

"I only have three Black Nether Coffins…" she passed by the three bodies encirclement and went to five piled up bodies a few metres ahead from them, "Chu Wan, Qi Xiang, Yun Lei, Ye Xuan, Hao Jin and Hao Yin are the ones that had their bodies the most hurt as they jumped to attack and from that I can tell Qi Xiang, Ye Xuan and Hao Jin as close-range attackers suffered the most… you three…" she made some motions with her hands and the body of a woman and two men floated, "will be the ones using them."

She sprinted with the three bodies floating behind her towards the opposite side of the room from where she entered.

"Haa-" she sighed midway the long room, 'I noticed it when I entered but I can't move at will. I don't if cry or laugh at not having complete control over my own place… at least, my consciousness can move rather fast.'
