The team leader seemed to sense Ulu's anomaly and looked up at him.
The "truth" shook Ulu's body violently, and as he looked at the two Night Crows watching him, the thought "let it all be destroyed here" even flashed through his mind. Eventually, however, he suppressed the thought, slightly shook his head, and said in an extremely hoarse voice, "It's nothing, just a bit of a cold."
This completely cracked tone did not raise much suspicion from the team leader, who merely nodded and said, "Then let's finish up early and head back."
He then closed the box.
That ugly black worm was thus sealed away and, along with the box, was taken by the Night Crow team leader into his spacious cloak.
"Next home."
The Night Crow team leader said briefly, then took the lead to leave the room, with Ulu and another Night Crow quickly following.
