Just then, Shen Hong frowned, pointing to the thin, middle-aged woman curled up on the floor.
Everyone immediately looked over. The woman's contorted expression was frozen on her face. Her pupils remained rolled back, completely white. Her mouth was slightly agape and her tongue was sticking out, just as it had been when she spat out the Echo Worm.
But now, her body was stiff, devoid of any sign of life.
Chen Zhanyun immediately knelt to check the woman's condition. His expression darkened instantly. "She's dead," he said.
The expressions on Zhao Xuanqi and the others shifted. When they had examined the woman earlier, she showed no signs of late-stage Echo Worm Possession. Logically, after expelling the Evil Spirit, she should have, at worst, fallen gravely ill. She shouldn't have died on the spot.
"More and more strange things are happening."
