"It's like we're seeing a ghost. How can something so strange happen? How can an outsider trigger the Very High mind?"

"There is nothing we can do to stop the eye mind. If we want to intervene, our only choice is to break the silkworm's stupid contract with Li Keer and Exquisite. Their bodies might be injured when we sever the link by force, but at least their minds won't be destroyed by that horrible mind."

"Stop it, Uncle Nine!" Exquisite said suddenly.
