The village's bad luck
The frightened rabbit appearance from earlier had completely vanished and before him was a grim and forbidding character best suited to be a villain. The corner of the boy's lips quirked up into a sly grin as a low groggy chuckle escaped his throat.
The tail from before had vanished like a thick fog dispersing. His body stood upright as his shoulders relaxed. "I can't but..... neither.... do I.... need to," spoke the boy but maybe because the creature was unaccustomed to speaking human language its speech was a little delayed.
"Humans are.... the stupidest... intelligent.... species. I possessed him.... so I can.... help him... avenge his.... mother," it said with a righteous air in its tone, "Do you... want to..... hear it."
Ji Yao didn't have any patience but looking at the boy's body that had been subjected to so much abuse and torture he couldn't help but conclude that this boy's story deserved to be heard.
