Last time in the Deep Pit Mysterious Realm, Leonard Churchill had witnessed the secret skill where Vivian White emerged from Catherine Carter's body.
Now, seeing this pale arm emerge from his collarbone, he wasn't the least bit surprised.
Vivian White's schemes were malevolent, and Churchill was certain that she must have left some tracking method on him when she allowed him to escape before.
Allowing the bone spear to pierce him had been a test.
He hadn't expected it to be true.
Nevertheless, hosting was ultimately a nefarious technique that drained the host.
When the arm appeared, Churchill suddenly felt like a germinating bean, his shell seemingly sucked dry by the sprouting limb.
Fortunately, he had the "Curse of Immortality" to cling to life.
In the current situation, playing dead was quite advantageous.
Churchill had no intention of making any moves.
...
Churchill's shriveled "corpse" hung on the tree trunk.
