Senja bit down on her lips and pushed down the disgust that was growing in her heart when she saw their actions. She didn't like their ruthlessness.
It wasn't because she was a kindhearted person,rather, Senja was very certain that the soldier didn't intentionally try to hurt the shadow guard, he was under a hypnosis. However, she couldn't possibly explain the situation to them.
She was reluctant to expose herself right now, she had other plans and if she told them what she knew now, all of her future plans would be ruined.
But, the man didn't move or open his eyes. He continued laying there motionlessly, it seemed as though he was barely hanging on his last breath. The guards didn't seem to notice the gloom in Senja's eyes.
Because the man still didn't move, they started kicking him to try and wake him up.
Senja panicked upon seeing both of the guard's actions and the man's condition became much worse, like he was about to die at any moment.
It would be disadvantageous to Senja if the man died right then and there. Therefore, she stepped forward and pushed one of the guards away.
"Stop, stop, stop!" She said with a trace of panic in her voice, "You will kill him if you keep doing that."
Seeing Senja opposing their actions, and pushed his fellow guard away, the other guard cupped his hands respectfully and moved to the side.
Suddenly, the man who seemed dead just a second ago abruptly sat up straight, Senja was surprised by his sudden movement and stared at him in bewilderment. His battered eyes stared back at her restlessly.
The emotions he gave off was almost the same as before, however, now there was a mix of obstructionsin it. It seemed like he was struggling.
Out of the blue, he crawled forward and grabbed Senja's hand while shouting, "MAPPLE FOREST! GO!... GO TO MAPLES FORREST!"
His hoarse voice echoed inside the small room, reverberating along the walkway, frightening Senja to the core.
Right at this moment, Senja felt someone suddenly pulling her back by her shoulder. She turned her head and saw that she was being pulled back by Xiao Tianyou, while Utara moved in front of her to kick the man away.
However, before Utara could land a kick on him,Senja reflexively grabbed Utara's robe and pulled him back along with her.
"Wait!" Senja shouted.
Fortunately, Utara was pulled back enough that, only the tip of his shoe managed to brush against the man's forehead.
The man yelped in surprise then fell backwards on his butt. He was still chanting the same words over and over again.
Utara, who was got pulled backwards was befuddled.He stared at Senja questioningly while Xiao Tianyou glared angrily at her. She could feel Xiao Tianyou's aggravation by her sudden actions.
"Give me a minute," Senja quickly spoke, before Elder Dam who was standing on her side could say anything.
Senja approached the man who was now crouching and yelping in the corner of the room, he was covering his forehead with both of his hands. His body shivered when he felt someone coming closer towards him.
"What is his name?" Senja asked no one in particular. In the end, it was Utara who replied in a low voice, "Gu Xie."
"Gu Xie," She called as she crouched down in front of him.But it seemed as though he didn't notice her, she called him again for a second time, but still there wasn't any response.He was still covering his face and his body was trembling.
Senja suddenly recalled a trick that her boyfriend, who was a mentalist, taught her. It was how to reverse other people's hypnosis.
She forcefully seized Gu Xie's right hand and pinched a particular area, "Listen to me," She wasn't yelling, but her voice sounded very stern and powerful.
Not only Gu Xie, but all of the people, including the two guards who were standing near the door, was astounded by her sudden action.
