"Tell me, why did you throw the phalanges into the fireplace?" Mu Rufeng asked again.
"I don't know, I just wanted to put out the fire in the fireplace, I really don't know," Yalu repeatedly shook his head, indicating his ignorance.
At this point, the other Contractors also realized something was amiss.
Even though Yalu's expression and tone were of ignorance and denial,
he had clearly just answered Mu Rufeng's question.
This was strange, and they speculated that it must be Mr. Sen's ability at play.
This ability appeared to be altering another's cognition?
"Why did you want to extinguish the fireplace, and who told you to do so?" Mu Rufeng asked again.
"It really wasn't me, Mr. Sen, my only task was to extinguish the fireplace, I couldn't help it, it truly wasn't me." Yalu's face showed growing panic as he struggled to understand why Mr. Sen was convinced he was the one who put out the fire.
