624, Saving Hunter Du Wei

Human or Inhuman.

When someone's bottom line, or rather, the certain moral boundaries and principles one should adhere to, are shattered, then that person becomes less than human.

Puton had now taken on this ghastly form.

To describe him as such was more than apt.

To obtain anything of value, a price must be paid.

An aberrant form of immortality had twisted his self, his consciousness dominated by desire.

Instinct made him covet beautiful things, longing to possess what he had lost, such as the basic semblance of a human.

And now, there was nothing that satisfied him more than the body of Alfaria, the leader of the Vanity Sect.

The key of the thumb pierced Du Wei's throat.

It went straight in.

No wound appeared.

Nor did it elicit any reaction from Du Wei, for his consciousness had already completely crashed; otherwise, Alex wouldn't have seen his death in his Future Sight.

He couldn't save himself.
