Contact with Luther

As Ethan gazed upon the familiar sensation emanating from the red luminescent spikes, a sense of foreboding washed over him. 

These spikes, he realized, bore the essence of Elida. 

This was her doing; she had implanted these light spikes into Luther's body during their integration. 

What was Elida's true intention?

Ethan recalled how Elida had burrowed into each cabin, forming some connection with every miner. 

Could it be that she had embedded these red spikes into each of their bodies as well? 

But why then, had only Luther managed to expel them from his system? 

Ethan was desperate to uncover the truth behind these events.

However, he dared not use the Power of Soul to communicate with Luther. 

Herman's cultivation was immeasurably profound; evading his detection would be impossible. 

Despite the risks, Ethan knew he had no choice but to try.
