only a layer of skin pressed against her skull remained. The man’s arm that

did not belong to her fell off of her left shoulder, yet its fingers could still

move as it willed. It was as if it were stretching, the pulsing of its veins

clearly visible.

That thing was the evil that had been summoned by the spirit-attraction

Dismemberment was a standard violent death. It was a little more

dignified than the way Wei Wuxian had died, though not by much. Unlike

being crushed to ashes, the limbs of a dismembered corpse retained a part of

the grudges of the deceased. One would yearn to return to its body, yearn to

die a complete corpse. Thus, it would also attempt to seek out the other parts

of its body. Once found, the corpse would then perhaps rest in peace and

satisfaction, or perhaps wreak greater havoc. If the rest of its original body

wasn’t found, however, a limb could only go for the second-best option.

What was the second-best option? Seek out the bodies of living

he had also had enough of his wife’s unreasonable behavior. In retrospect,

that had not been the demeanor of a father who had just lost his son. That had

not been the stupor of despair—it had been stillness. The stillness of the dead.

The third vessel was A-Tong, and the fourth was Madam Mo. The left

arm took advantage of the chaos when the lights went out earlier to migrate

to her body. And when Madam Mo was killed, the last cut on Wei Wuxian’s

wrist had also vanished with her demise.

Seeing how the talismans were useless but their clothes were not, all
