The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

Chapter 718

The mute slave rubbed her eyes and looked back at the corpse, but found nothing.

'Maybe I was just seeing things,' she thought, deciding not to dwell on it.

Then she reached out once more to lift the corpse on the platform.

However, in the very next moment, the mute slave's body went rigid.

Slowly, she looked down to see a hand thrust through her chest, and that hand belonged to the corpse on the platform.

"Where... am I?" the corpse rasped, its voice hoarse and grating.

The mute slave's jaw stiffly fell open.

The corpse then saw the hollow cavity where her tongue should have been.

"Useless," the corpse spat with contempt.

Then, with a sickening squelch, it plunged its hand into the mute slave's chest, yanked out her heart, and casually tossed it aside.

Ignoring the blood on her hands, she got up and paced around the secret chamber, quickly spotting an old bronze mirror.

When she looked into it and saw her stitched-together, patchwork body, Sophie's face contorted in a twisted expression of fury.

She thought, furious and bewildered, 'Damn it! What the hell is going on?!

'Wasn't I already dead? Why is my consciousness suddenly here? Did I... come back to life? But why does my body look so grotesque now?

'The face is mine, and part of my upper body too, but the rest, including my hands and feet, clearly aren't mine at all!'

Sophie examined the unfamiliar hands, then slowly raised one to touch her face.

The tangible sensation only deepened the gloom in her eyes.

Sophie frantically rummaged through every corner of the secret chamber.

'Damn it! A room full of corpses, and not a damn thing of value,' she seethed inwardly.
