Exorcists Committee, CEO's office.
"I had a master check the students' corpses, which are still in the morgue, and he found that mark that the coroner drew… that symbol of the cult." Zhang Jue spoke when he met with Nie Fan after the other arrived in the office today. "That mark... that symbol..." he muttered, hesitating whether to say it or not. But, in the end, he still said it. He gritted his teeth. "... it was branded on the students'… soul." He said in a low voice as he lowered his gaze to avoid seeing Nie Fan's expression upon hearing what he said.
As expected, Nie Fan's brows knitted as he turned to look at him. "'branded'?!" he exclaimed and frowned. His face darkened. He, who has been a demon for a long time, has seen lots of things in his previous world. And soul branding is one of them and the nastiest of the nastiest.
