Zhou Chen shook his head. "Besides corrupting their perception, it also has some ability to disguise itself. It was disguised as a human at the time."
'That much was true. A moment ago, I hadn't looked closely or used my senses to check. I just made a wish to brainwash them all, never expecting there was a Corrupter mixed in.'
"Matthew, what do you want to do?" Zhou Chen asked directly. Now that the brainwashing was successful, this Corrupter was his loyal subordinate.
