Chapter 305: Filomena lies
"What are you trying to do to me?"
Kenzo’s face paled, unable to decide whether he should be worried about how to stop his bleeding or wonder at the people outside the circle. Kenzo faintly heard everything that had happened. Dustin’s screams were initially faint to him, but the longer he tried, the louder Dustin’s cries were in his ears.
Before Kenzo knew it, he snapped out of his trance and regained awareness.
"What..." he trailed off when his eyes fell on the ground.
Looking back, his eyes dilated as his breath hitched. All the people lying motionless behind him were very familiar people. All of them were bleeding from their wrist, making him gulp nervously.
"No." He shook his head, wanting to step back but he couldn’t. Kenzo tried to lift his foot, but only a sense of familiarity came to him. Wasn’t this how he felt while eating outside the convenience store with Quentin?
Upon that thought, all the memories before Kenzo woke up in this strange place surged to him like a flood. For a second, his breath stopped as clarity dawned on him.
Slowly, Kenzo lifted his eyes to the people standing outside the circle.
Quentin was looking back at him with slight puzzlement. There was also Vincent, who didn’t carry any reaction, as if he was just staring into nothingness. Shanaiah was also looking back at Kenzo, sizing him up from head to foot.
Then, Kenzo’s eyes fell on Dustin, who was bound by these black chains on the ground.
"What is that...?’ Kenzo squinted his eyes at the dark aura seeping out of the chains around Dustin, and he could see this dark clinging to Dustin’s skin.
