Chapter 361: The Fountain of Youth (18)
The feeling of being unable to control her own body was almost like watching a first-person movie through a screen.
Everly’s consciousness curled up in a corner, helplessly watching as her body slowly began to move under the control of another will.
“How fascinating. This is my first time becoming a woman…”
“She” murmured softly, then lowered her head and examined the long, sturdy arms for a while. Her five fingers clenched and relaxed, her neck turned from side to side, and her legs stamped firmly against the ground, as though she were familiarizing herself with this body.
From the way he put it, the person who had stolen Everly’s body really was Grant. What had looked like an attempt to ambush her just now had actually been meant to create the conditions for him to seize control of her body!
Everly’s mental world trembled violently.
Although her body had been taken from her, her consciousness still retained its ability to perceive the outside world. The metallic smell of blood, her rapid breathing, the dull ache of muscles being pulled taut, the sensation of sweat trickling down her forehead… All of her senses were still there. It was just as though they were separated by a transparent glass barrier—everything was indistinct, occasionally accompanied by crackling static, like a television with a poor signal.
Watching helplessly as everything spiraled out of control was far more terrifying than being completely unaware of what was happening.
What frightened Everly even more was that the force that had invaded her mind and seized control of her body was constantly trying to assimilate and “digest” her.
