“Mo Han, what’s wrong with you? ” Shen Yuan was shocked by Mo Han’s reaction. There was real concern in his voice.
When Shen Yuan tried to reach out, Mo Han quickly formed a water shield to block him and shouted, “Don’t touch me! ”
Si Tu Yu also stopped running. He looked confused, like he had just woken up, and asked Shen Yuan, “Big Brother Shen Yuan, why are you here? And… who is this? ”
Even Shen Yuan felt a headache seeing him like this. “Xiao Yu, don’t you remember what just happened? ”
Mo Han held his head and endured the pain. “The one who ran away! Go catch that person! He is the real culprit. He ran north! ”
Si Tu Yu looked confused. “What culprit? ”
Shen Yuan’s face changed. He said to Si Tu Yu, “Take care of Mo Han. I’ll go after him! ” Then he quickly left.
When Mo Han grabbed Si Tu Yu earlier, he felt something strange enter his body from Si Tu Yu. That thing tried to make him fall unconscious and take control of his body. Of course, Mo Han resisted with all his strength.
After seeing Si Tu Yu’s strange behavior and feeling a connection with someone through that thing, Mo Han quickly understood—Si Tu Yu had been controlled by the man who ran away.
That man was afraid Shen Yuan would notice something, so he avoided him. When Shen Yuan chased him, he tried to use Si Tu Yu to kill him. As for the “personality change” mentioned in the original story—of course it changed! The one controlling the body was a completely different person!
Si Tu Yu watched Shen Yuan leave, then looked down at Mo Han and asked, “Hey kid, what’s going on? ”
“Damn you! ” Mo Han snapped, his head hurting badly. “Can’t you see I’m in pain? I saved you, okay! ”
Si Tu Yu paused, then said angrily, “I didn’t ask you to save me.” But he stopped bothering Mo Han and instead asked Du Xiao, “You tell me, what happened? ”
Du Xiao looked confused. “I don’t know. I only know that we met Shen Yuan, and then you tried to kill him.”
“What?! I tried to kill Brother Shen Yuan?! That’s impossible! ”
“Shut up! You’re too noisy! ” Mo Han shouted. “I’ll explain later! ”
Si Tu Yu reluctantly shut his mouth.
“Damn it… just a Level 2 mind-control ability, and you think you can control me? ” Mo Han gritted his teeth and stopped defending. He gathered all his mental strength and attacked the thing inside him.
After a while, Si Tu Yu couldn’t help asking, “Is there anything we can do? ”
“Mo Han! What’s wrong?! ” Zhong Tianxiang’s voice suddenly sounded. He and the others had come after them.
“What did you do to him?! ” Zhong Tianxiang almost attacked Si Tu Yu.
Mo Han forced himself to speak. “Tianxiang… it’s not him. Shen Yuan is chasing the real enemy.”
Then he focused again on fighting the thing inside him.
Zhou Wu asked, “What’s going on? ”
Zhao Yan observed carefully and said, “Something inside Mo Han is trying to control him.”
“How can we help? ”Zhong Tianxiang asked.
Zhao Yan shook his head. “None of us have mental-type abilities. He has to rely on himself. But he should be okay.”
After some time, Mo Han suddenly felt the thing leave his body. He guessed Shen Yuan had already killed the controller. But he only relaxed when Shen Yuan returned with the corpse of the man in white.
Mo Han glared at the corpse. He had thought the man was just normal—but he was actually a Level 2 mind controller who had fooled them all.
Then Mo Han said, “Why did you kill him? ”
Shen Yuan replied calmly, “I was afraid you couldn’t hold on.”
Mo Han was surprised and felt a little warm inside. “Thank you… but what if he had secrets? How would we get information? ”
Shen Yuan simply said, “It doesn’t matter.”
Si Tu Yu asked impatiently, “Can someone explain now?! ”
Mo Han nodded. “Alright. That man was a Level 2 mind controller. You were controlled by him. What’s the last thing you remember? ”
Si Tu Yu thought for a moment. “I argued with my brother, then left with my group. After that… nothing.”
Mo Han said, “That’s when he controlled you. Then you met us. He avoided Shen Yuan because he was afraid of being exposed—or maybe he planned to lure Shen Yuan out and kill him.”
“He didn’t expect me to follow. When he couldn’t escape, he tried to use his mental power between us to delay time. But my mental strength was strong enough to stop him.”
Si Tu Yu stared at the corpse angrily. “He dared to control me and try to kill Brother Shen Yuan… damn him! ”
Shen Yuan asked Mo Han, “Are you okay? ”
“I’m fine,” Mo Han said. “Now that he’s dead, his mental power is gone.”
Si Tu Yu looked at Mo Han and said, “Thanks. I owe you one.”
Mo Han twitched his mouth. Compared to Zhou Wu, this guy was really annoying.
Because of the mind controller, Si Tu Yu and his group had completely lost contact with his brother. Now only Si Tu Yu and Du Xiao were left.
Shen Yuan decided not to let them go alone, so he asked them to join his group. They agreed.
With Du Xiao’s storage ability, the group finally solved their supply problem—which made everyone very happy.
