Chapter 164 SLOTH - Part 2 (1/2)
Chapter 164 – [SLOTH] - Part 2
For half a day, Tong did nothing but push-up. He also lost count of how many he did as he stopped counting since the 5th session.
Tong already threw away his robes, leaving only his pants on. His smooth and toned upper body was drenched in sweat after the stressful work-out. Several young maids peeked at Tong from a distance as their face blushed, while the male servants looked at Tong in awe.
Tong ignored the onlookers and was about to start a new session.
*BADUMP*
The heart of Tong shook. The familiar sensation came back again. It was the feeling of that day when he successfully got rid of his [Lust].
The sensation of his body splitting into two came back. His vision also changed, he could see himself from a third person's viewpoint again.

Learned from the previous experience, Tong managed to control his original body with a little effort. He turned around to look at his demonic soul [Sloth].
This soul was not the same as [Lust]. Instead of a naked woman, it was an old man in a brown police uniform. His appearance was an Asian man with a height of 185cm. His muscle was neither too thick nor floppy, it was the shape of someone who worked out daily but he was not at a level of a professional muscle builder. The wrinkles on his body told Tong his age, he should have been in his 70s or 80s by his appearance.
Tong remembered his face very well. It was the face of his previous life when he was living in the modern world, but it was his older version. If he had not died young in his previous life, he would have looked like the demon soul in front of Tong when he got older.
The police uniform was also the uniform that he usually wore at work. In addition, Tong could see the insignias on the soul's shoulder and several emblems on the chest. The insignia of Chief Inspector could be seen which it was his career goal when he was working as a police officer.
Tong looked at his demon soul with a bitter smile. Nostalgic memories and forgotten memories flooded out from the depths of his mind.
The time when he took the entrance examination.
The time when he got into the boot camp the first day.
The time when he got punched by a drill sergeant as part of the training.
The time when he graduated from the police school as the top ace of the platoon.
The time when he saluted to the tearing drill sergeant who used to beat him with pride.
The day when he apprehended a criminal for the first time.
The memories of his police days came back. Tong could now recall the events of his police life from day one to the end of his journey when he was killed by Ping's bodyguards.
”Looking back, I could have done it better…”
”If I were a bit calmer, I could have put that matter to the international court.”
”I could have sought asylum in other country and asked for help in the social world.”
”…”
”But at the very least, I was never lazy at all, right?”
”I worked very hard for it, right?”
The demon soul gave Tong a warm smile, even though it was himself who smiled at his original body. Tears rolled down from Tong's both eyes as his spirit was cleansed from the past regret.
Tong had not noticed yet, two small black tentacles at the size of a finger wrinkling behind his back. It was the same color and shape with what Morning Star had.
…
Tong texted Dong Bai again. ”I've completed [Sloth]. What can I do with it?”
