Chapter 34: Something Feels Off (8)
When I leapt down from the ceiling and landed between David and Lexi, a small wave of regret immediately washed over me.
Facing Lexi in combat mode felt like sticking my neck under a guillotine.
To make things worse, I wasn’t in my ghost form—I was just Yuria wearing a mask. The restriction on freely using telekinesis only added to my anxiety.
‘Should I have thrown a sheet over myself and come down as a ghost? ...No, that’s too risky. This isn’t the Western Labyrinth; we’re in the middle of the city. Running wild here would create too many problems.’
But there was no other choice.
Using my ghost form to fight Lexi in a place like this, full of witnesses and CCTV, was completely different from secretly using telekinesis in the hotel’s back alley.
To suppress Lexi with telekinesis here would inevitably cause damage beyond this room, just like when I fought Drakel.
If that happened, news of superpowers would spread, and even if I managed to escape, people would relentlessly pursue me to uncover my identity.
Ugh, just imagining it gave me a headache.
No matter how sorry I felt for David and Sabrina, I wasn’t about to pour oil on myself and jump into a fire.
‘So, my options are to not use telekinesis or to make Lexi retreat without being exposed. But... how do I pull that off against this sadistic psycho queen?’
Just thinking about it felt overwhelming.
