The Author's POV

Chapter 421

Pitch black darkness.

What met my sight upon activating Monarch's indifference was pitch black darkness.

The darkness seemed to be unending.

But it wasn't long before I regained consciousness and wondered to myself.

'What's going on?'

Why was I in this pitch-black word? ...and why could I move as I pleased?

This had never happened before, back when I activated Monarch's indifference.

Did that mean that my previous conjecture was correct and that Monarch indifference had a link with the shift in my mentality? Intense wariness flashed across my eyes.

Glancing around the place, I opened my mouth and coldly said.

"...Where are you? I know you're here somewhere."

Silence.

As my vice echoed amidst the darkness, all I was met with was silence. However, I wasn't one to give up easily as I once again opened my mouth.

"Come out. I've already figured things out."

"Hm."

It was then that with a soft hum, someone materialized a couple of meters away from me.

It was none other than the other Ren. Or at least, that was what I used to think. But now, I wasn't too sure.

With a thoughtful look on his face, he scanned my body from top to bottom.

"You're not half bad."

He muttered after a while.

I frowned at his words as I felt a weird sense of discomfort wash over my body. The sense of discomfort came from the way he was looking at me.

It reminded me of a scientist looking at his experiment. It felt very uncomfortable.

Calming down my nerves, I looked straight into the other Ren's eyes and got straight to the point.

With my limited amount of time, I could only carefully choose my questions.

"...You were the one responsible for what happened to Emma, weren't you?"

"Me?"

Lifting his head, the other Ren raised his brow. A small smile then surfaced on his face as he shook his head.

"Now why would you think that?"

"...Because I would never make such a mistake."

"Oh? Aren't you confident in yourself?"

Waving his hand, a wooden table materialized in front of the other Ren. Gesturing for me to sit down opposite of him, Ren sat down and raised his hand where a small teacup materialized.

Holding onto the handle of the cup, he raised the cup slightly. A small smile tugged the edge of his lips.

"Everything that happened is a result of your actions. I am merely someone whose body you took over."

"Don't bullshit with me!"

I quickly shot back.

"You can stop your little facade. I know that you're hiding something."

Walking over to the table, I sat down. Leaning forward, I coldly looked at the other Ren.

"I don't know what you're hiding, but I for sure know that you must've had a hand in my transmigration."

"...I'm hiding something? Transmigration?"
