Ding Yumian believed she was to blame.

She should have been on alert. After all, she was going up against a sea monster that could control human minds.

The Trench Demon had controlled Dean Fu to call her here.

It had controlled everyone and made it look like some of them were being controlled, while others still had clear minds. It kept using Dean Fu and the others to call for backup and lure them into its trap!

If they had not seen through the Trench Demon’s trick, they would have ended up as one of the dead bodies, too.

It was a clear display of the sea monsters’ intelligence. They were vicious and brutal beyond the imagination of their human foes!

If Mo Fan had not killed Dean Fu, Dean Fu would have ambushed him and killed him in the end, too!

“How did you figure it out?” Ding Yumian asked Mo Fan curiously.

The Trench Demon must have realized Mo Fan’s extraordinary strength, so it tried to confuse Mo Fan while it was fighting Ding Yumian, so that he would have no idea who his enemy was.

The Trench Demon had been planning to take out Ding Yumian before dealing with Mo Fan. To its surprise, Mo Fan had seen through its plan!

“One of my friends encountered its species before. He told me these creatures are good at playing with our minds, so I was cautious from the beginning. Besides, Dean Fu sounded very confident when he asked me to kill you. Normally, he should be hesitant and puzzled too, so I used something special to see through the creature’s tricks,” Mo Fan explained.

Mo Fan was referring to the Eye of Deceit!

Mo Fan realized the Eye of Deceit was able to determine whether a person’s mind was being controlled, but since the old Forbidden Mage and the South Pole Emperor were stronger than him, the Eye of Deceit did not have a clear answer back then.

The Trench Demon was not as strong as them, so it was easier for the Eye of Deceit to see its treachery.

Unfortunately, despite the Eye of Deceit’s usefulness, he was telling Apas’ vicious sister his location every time he used it. If he had not been on alert right from the beginning, he would have avoided using it in normal situations. He was still surprised that Dean Fu who had called them over was being controlled!

“They…they are buried behind there,” a director who regained his consciousness pointed behind the signal tower.

Mo Fan and Ding Yumian were puzzled. They went closer to the signal tower.

They blew the feathers on the swamp away and revealed countless distorted bodies there. There were over a hundred corpses behind the signal tower. They all belonged to the teachers and students of the Pearl Institute.

They were like dead poultry abandoned in the drains and covered in filthy feathers. Mo Fan and Ding Yumian felt their hearts squeezing in pain.

“You two aren’t the first backup that came. They were tricked here by us. We could only watch them die, before the next batch was tricked here again…” The director covered his face, stammering to speak.

Mo Fan and Ding Yumian both felt like something was clenching their throats. They were struggling to breathe.

How many people had died?

The Trench Demon had set a trap here and kept using Dean Fu and the others to call for backup, luring them all into the trap.

Mo Fan and Ding Yumian were only two of them. There were a lot more victims before them!

Ding Yumian turned away from the corpses. She had not used her Psychic Element on Dean Fu because she trusted him.
