Chapter 194 Innas Plight 3 (2/2)

But Inna knew that no matter how she's going to deny their cries and accusations, the fact that they saw her trying to strangle the student to death was enough reason for them not to believe her.

While she continued to stutter, the two men quickly dashed to her side as they held her immobile with their hands as though she was a criminal. Inna felt too emotionally and mentally tired to even fight back so she just let them do it.

Then, addressing the crowd who seemed satisfied with the results, they began to announce.

”Since we don't have jurisdiction in this village, although being caught in the act, we, the royal guards will take the suspected criminal to the appropriate officials.”

Inna closed her eyes as she sighed dejectedly.

She always thought that her 'other' self was a great power-up of some sort. She thought that she'd be able to have an easy life by relying on it every time someone tries to kill her.

She thought that it was a blessing of some sort that can help her avoid dying again.

But to think that in exchange for protecting her, she'd have to kill someone.

And many would argue that technically it wasn't her killing them purposely, but even though she switched, it truly felt like it was her.

She sees the same things her 'other' self can see...

She hears the same things her 'other' self can see…

She can feel the same things her 'other' self can feel…

The only thing that's different was that she's no longer able to control what she's doing. And that no matter how much she screams in her head to stop and switch, it just seemed like she's talking to air.

So, seeing the blood drip down as she slashed Garnel's neck was traumatizing to her.

Because she felt it.

The feel of the dagger slashing through his skin and the small splash of blood that stained her hands.

And now, despite her vehement revulsion, it forcibly switched with her to strangle the student.

As if it had its own mind…

As if it had its own plans…

As if it was just spectating through her eyes...

And Inna finally snapped out of the silly delusion she unknowingly had. She realized that the 'power-up' she took her pride on was never under her control.

But it seemed more like 'it' had the control over her.
