In that instant, the Two-headed Scale Person froze.
He stared at Chu Bamboo, disbelief and a flicker of ecstatic joy appearing in his eyes. His lips moved, clearly wanting to say something, but no words came out.
"...Is it because of your Divine Technique?" Chu Bamboo turned his gaze back to the Fifth Apostle. "The person whose identity you stole can't even say who they are?"
'This explained something I couldn't understand before. I had considered two possibilities. The first was that Lao Hu was the Fifth Apostle's real name, since the previous switch was a simple usurpation of Huo Qiming's identity. But knowing a real name could lead to the Big Orange Cat showing up... Based on that, I came up with a second theory: the name belonged to the Bishop, and the Fifth Apostle had temporarily stolen it along with his identity. It seems the second theory is the correct one!'
A deathly silence fell.
