Attaching himself to Khadula’s mind was a strange experience . Lin Sheng was continuously under the assault of greed and hunger, which made him want to hunt and harvest more arms .
Since Khadula lacked physical senses other than his hands, all his actions and perception of the outside world depended solely on his arm . But this seemed to have changed after he got Dark Igor’s harm, which gave him a strong perception of magic . The hundreds of magician’s eyes covering his body gave him the ability to perceive and master information in his surroundings .
As for the other abilities, Lin Sheng was not so interested . He just glanced over them and forgot about them, as he knew Khadula was the strongest when he no longer disguised himself . Lin Sheng was controlling Khadula, opening his mouth, and trying to utter a sound . And then, an impulsive thought came to mind .
“Do you like me? Then sacrifice your hands . ” Khadula opened his arms slightly with a beautiful smile spreading across his face .
Lin Sheng did not say this . It was the instinctual impulse and the longing for arms of the host body that spoke . Lin Sheng did not stop it, however . As stated in the grimoire, this bodily instinct was a natural reaction to the soul, and it was normal .
On the open ground, Lin Sheng looked at Khadula . Simultaneously controlling two persons was something that he could perform easily . He had previously mind-directed the Blackfeather swordsmen, vault guards, and Sacred Shield Tyrant as and when they needed refined actions . But this time was different . The influence of Khadula on his soul and consciousness was beyond what he had imagined it .

“It feels more in condition that I have expected . ” Lin Sheng looked up at himself from the eye of Khadula . It was a strange feeling as if he was looking into the mirror . The two bodies were akin to a pair of hands; they moved as the soul willed it . With him in control, Khadula began to move around in the courtyard .
Lin Sheng suddenly stopped halfway when blurry footage in what looked like the encounter of Dark Igor and Khadula, who appeared in his real identity for the first time in a lush royal garden, emerged from his memories .
“Dark Igor, are you happy?” Khadula scampered in between the flowering shrubs, his feminine face radiating a smile that came genuinely from within him . “I can now see colors, smell the fragrance, hear voices, and taste the sweetness of the honey . I can’t tell you how happy I am . ”
“My Lord, you are running too fast . Be careful . ” Dark Igor held a magic wand in hand, his hoary face breaking out in a helpless yet avuncular smile .
Lin Sheng came back out of the vision, shaking his head over the weird feeling .
“Was it all in my head, a natural, mental association?” Since the coupling of his soul and Khadula’s, Khadula had gained his memories . This caused Khadula to feel the same experiences and emotions as Lin Sheng’s and help Lin Sheng’s soul mate with the host body better .
“It’s time to go . ” Lin Sheng moved his primary consciousness over to Khadula, leaving behind only what was essential for his body to function correctly .

His principal body could become an easy target if exposed . So Lin Sheng planned to use the summoned body to deal with most of the dangerous situations . The only problem was that he still struggled to multitask his consciousness . It would take him a considerable long time to adapt .
“Not much left of the space in my soul . But there’s still room for more summoning!” Lin Sheng checked the state of his soul and decided to muster whatever he could .
This time, he wanted to summon the vault guards, who were tough and sturdy . They almost had no weaknesses except for their relatively slow movement . What was more, the price to performance ratio was high . He could summon up to four at a time to use them as scouts .
“Without Sacred Shield Tyrant and with only a Blackfeather swordsman left, I can summon the vault guards twice . ” Lin Sheng calculated in his mind by drawing from his experience . He was now in control of Khadula’s body .
“Let’s do it before the sun comes out . ”
A gunboat glinting in pale-green aureole stopped several kilometers offshore Huaisha Port under cover of the night . Due to its size, the gunboat could not sail close to the shore . So it sent an inflatable life raft to the coast . As the raft reached the shadow water, several figures draped in cloak jumped into the water . Leading the way was a man, the tallest among them . As the man stepped on the shadow water, he created a splash under his feet . “The beach here is so much dirtier than that of our country . I could smell the foul stench even with my mouth closed!”
“You don’t smell with your mouth . You idiot!” Another man said sarcastically behind him, who dropped his hood to reveal his shoulder-length blonde hair and face with ugly muscles . What caught the eyes more was the scar in the shape of an ‘X’ across his face .

“Chief, you’re not going to get girls this way!” The tall man shot back .
“You sounds like a pussy . ” The man with an ‘X’ scar on his face retorted .
“Knock it off, Borel . And move your ass . You only have one day . ” A slender figure at the rearmost had also jumped down from the raft and gotten ashore .
“I know . No worries . ” The man with a scar nodded and raised his hand to look at his watch . “It’s 0716 now . Exfil 0700 tomorrow at this same spot . ”
“Be careful, and don’t engage the Darksiders of Redwin . ” The slender figure warned .
“Don’t worry . ” Borel flung up a waving hand as he darted toward the direction of Huaisha . “Send me the location . ”
That said, a green shadow of a translucent female scooted past Borel from behind and disappeared into thin air with Borel’s blonde hair fluttering in the breeze . Men behind him quickly squatted down, reached out their right hands, and thrust half-an-arm-deep into the sand . Following this, a faint sound like the hissing of snakes began to spread on the beach . With them at the center, a dark-green ring with intricate patterns appeared and encircled them .
“See you soon . ” The slender figure said to the man with a scar .
“See ya . ” The man with a scar lit a cigarette and darted away without even looking back . The remaining figures vanished instantly from the beach, leaving behind the dark-green circle of a flowing pattern on the sand . But the ring did not stay long as it also slowly sank and disappeared into the sand .
The gunboat out at sea turned around and sped off into the distance . Meanwhile, the inflatable life raft at the shallow water suddenly caught fire and sank to the bottom of the water .
