"Are you... Morioka Hitomi?"
Although he had recognized her long ago, Wen Xishu still pretended to be surprised.
Or rather, he was indeed surprised.
Morioka Hitomi had changed significantly—her skin was somewhat darker, still showing that gentle-hearted Japanese youth vibe, but her jawline gave a sharp and decisive impression.
As for Master Lingqing, because he was using a "manifestation," Wen Xishu saw no change in him.
"Now is not the time for chatting; let's first seal this monster."
Master Lingqing immediately began to cast the Talisman.
004 desperately wanted to escape, but the staff was imbued with Master Lingqing's magic power.
Wen Xishu was genuinely surprised. To know that 004 was enough to chase Wen Xishu out of the state of Only Me.
Even without Red House standards, theoretically, Master Lingqing shouldn't be able to handle it.
In his memory, although mages had remarkable mana, their power shouldn't allow them to one-shot a monster of 004's caliber.
