Luckily, Morando took the hit.
The Resident's arm swung so fast it was a blur. If Morando's body hadn't intercepted it for a moment, Jin Xueli wasn't sure her hammer would have even connected.
As Morando stumbled backward and fell, the Resident yanked its hand back as if burned. An furious cry echoed and swirled beneath the ceiling:
"Soannoyingsohatefulwhatisthiswhatisthisit'sdisgustingunpleasantlikeI'vebeeninsultedjustwhatisithmmI'mactuallyalittlecurious"
Just like last time, the Resident had been struck by the same hammer and felt the same pain.
But this time, hearing its cry didn't inspire the same fear of being trapped in suffocating darkness. There was only a slight dizziness, a blurriness in her vision.
'Why is that? Could I have gotten used to it so quickly?'
'...Or was its scream not as intense?'
