Gu Jin appears again, holding a thick book in her hands. Its cover is old, and the pages have a faint yellow hue.
"Found it!" She waves the book in her hand at An Mingji.
An Mingji's expression instantly changes, the killing aura around him disappears in a flash, quickly turning into gentleness and tenderness—a true image of a gentle nobleman.
Gu Jin is too absorbed in the book to notice his change; her thoughts are entirely on the book in her arms. She sits beside An Mingji and opens to the page documenting the Evil Puppet.
"Look here!" She points to the yellowed, old page with her slender fingers.
"There are many evil people in the world, hence these Evil Puppets exist to brutally kill.
The soul is the essence of a person. After death, it can leave the body and become a puppet, which belongs to the yin.
The spirit is the soul, descending from the heavens.
The puppet is the soul, grounded in the earth.
