Mercer was too innocent.

"What..."

Upon hearing the corpse begin to speak, Matthew's eyes were filled with a wariness so thick it seemed almost impenetrable.

He said coldly, "Who are you, really?"

Evil Spirits cannot speak.

The only creatures capable of conversation are humans.

What it had now become was the Evil Spirit Du Wei, or rather, the Evil Spirit as Du Wei.

Hypnosis was Du Wei's forte.

But if one were to become an Evil Spirit...

Then it would be all the more powerful.

The powers that naturally belonged to an Evil Spirit would be amplified even further.
