The leader doll's expression changed from arrogance to that of fear. As expected, exorcists are really cunning! They would act like a pig to eat the tiger*! Just like what happened just now when Zhang Hanyu made them thought that he was easily bullied and even played with their words, making them think that he would really agree to kill himself per their 'kind' suggestion to him.

"I – " the leader doll spoke before deciding to run. It might fear this exorcist now, but it still can't bear to kneel before this exorcist which it loathes after it became a resentful ghost! It still has its pride left, so how can it let itself kneel before anyone, especially an exorcist which it loathes?!
