Chapter 189 Two Souls in One Body
"Sis! Don\'t go forward!" Wes shouted and rushed in.
Sofia, whose face originally held a charming demeanor, now harbored a chill of murderous intent. She gritted her teeth and said, "If you wish for death, then I\'ll grant it!"
Saying this, she prepared to pluck the strings again.
William slightly closed his eyes, directly using his powerful divine consciousness to launch a spiritual suppression on her.
In an instant, Sofia\'s face turned pale, her body stiffened, pupils dilated, and just as Zoey\'s fist was about to land on Sofia, she fainted.
Zoey also lost all her strength in an instant, slipped, and fell on Sofia.
Wes, who had entered, was also stunned.
It ended just like that?
Both people fell to the ground, exhausted at the same time?
Bryant burst into laughter, "Director Wenzel truly has unparalleled combat power, even someone with demi-god strength is no match for her, she actually exhausted her opponent into unconsciousness."
How would he know, if it weren\'t for William intervening at the last moment, it might not have been as simple as Zoey fainting from exhaustion.
"Let\'s first bring them back to the Bureau." Wes approached and looked at Zoey with some concern, "I don\'t know how badly my sister is injured."
William stepped forward and said, "I\'ve studied medicine; let me have a look."
"You\'ve studied medicine?" Wes frowned, "I\'ve seen your file; your father is a painter, your mother works in a department store, who did you study with?"
When they were recruiting for the 13th Bureau, they naturally had to investigate his background. The background provided for William was fabricated by Anthony Carter; even William didn\'t know who his parents were according to that file.
William didn\'t answer him; instead, he stepped forward to check Zoey\'s pulse and said, "She\'s fine, just fainted from exhaustion. She will wake up soon."
"Are you sure?" Wes still had some doubts about William\'s words.
William nodded, "I can wake her up now, but I think it\'s best to let her rest for a while."
Bryant hurriedly said, "Shouldn\'t we deal with this person first? If she wakes up before us, it could be problematic."
Wes frowned, "Even if someone is possessed by a demon, we don\'t have the right to arbitrarily take her life. We can only find a way to control her, so that even if she wakes up, she cannot pose a threat to us."
"I have to seal the surging energy inside her body first." Bryant said as he acted, extending his finger, accurately and forcefully pressing on Sofia\'s forehead and abdomen.
With his movement, an invisible force flowed from his fingertips into Sofia\'s body, temporarily sealing her energy. Sofia\'s body shivered slightly, as if sensing the constraint within, her brows furrowed, showing a hint of discomfort on her face.
However, William knew that doing this was actually meaningless.
Demons descended by occupying others\' bodies, mainly using demonic souls to absorb external energy. What\'s the use of sealing the energy within the person\'s own body?
But it didn\'t matter; with William there, let alone demi-god strength, even if a real demi-god or even a true god came, it would only take a glance from William to obliterate them.
After about ten minutes, Zoey slowly woke up. Upon opening her eyes, in such a short time, her wounds had already healed.
This was the formidable aspect of the Warrior God Constitution; no matter how severe the injuries, as long as there was abundant energy around, the wounds would heal at an astonishing rate.
"Take her back." After getting up, Zoey glanced at the fainted Sofia, not minding her own wounds; she was probably used to it.
William had always assumed that the 13th Bureau would have a dedicated office space in New York City, perhaps even facilities like a secret prison. However, he ultimately found out that the office space Zoey and the others used was actually a rented apartment.
This apartment was also located in the old town area of the city center, in a more secluded location compared to where William resided.
The houses here were likely built around 1990, the red brick outer walls were covered with moss, and the surrounding streets seemed somewhat chaotic.
The nearby residents were all staff members of the 13th Bureau. It could be said that this place was their actual headquarters.
The car stopped in front of a three-story apartment building. Zoey, clutching Sofia\'s hand tightly, led her up to the second floor as if dragging along an unwilling child. There were bumps and knocks along the way, but she didn\'t seem to mind.
Bryant was not a member of the 13th Bureau; he had gotten off the car along the way, seemingly not wanting to get too involved in this matter. William and Wes followed behind.
Just as they entered and before Zoey could let Sofia sit down, Sofia voiced her confused inquiries: "Who are you? Why did you capture me?"
"Where is this?"
Three questions in a row!
Zoey remained vigilant, her fingers gripping Sofia\'s wrist, staring into her eyes, she asked, "Are you the original owner of this body?"
"What are you talking about?" Sofia looked nervously at Zoey, whose clothes were disheveled. She looked around and spotted William, exclaiming, "You\'re here too? What are you all trying to do?"
William said, "Don\'t be afraid, we won\'t do anything to you."
He had already figured out that the demon\'s soul had concealed itself. It seemed that the control over her body had not been completely taken away, but instead, it chose to coexist with Sofia.
One body, two souls?
William could actually erase the demon\'s soul directly, but he chose not to do so.
Life is tough for everyone, and besides, he wasn\'t sure whether this demon had done any evil.
The concept of demonic possession did not necessarily mean to William that every demon must be eradicated.
At least this demon hadn\'t directly obliterated Sofia\'s soul.
"This situation is somewhat tricky!" Wes said, stroking his chin, "Under these circumstances, if next time the demon uses her body to commit evil again, we would be in a tight spot. We can\'t just lock her up now, and even if we do, probably only Zoey could keep an eye on her."
Saying that Zoey could keep an eye on her was just an assumption, considering that Zoey had been at a disadvantage throughout their recent fight.
Zoey remained silent, as she was not suited to contemplating these kinds of problems most of the time. Anything that couldn\'t be resolved with fists, she usually left to Wes.
Now that even Wes was saying that the situation was tricky, it was indeed somewhat challenging.
At this point, William asked, "Do you mean to say that she is actually two people?"
Wes nodded, "The demon\'s soul wasn\'t harmed by Zoey, so it\'s certainly fine. It\'s most likely hiding within this girl\'s body, saying she is actually two people is not an exaggeration."
William asked, "So, what do you plan to do about this demon\'s soul?"
Wes scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "Actually, we don\'t have any ill intentions, we just want to talk to her, ask her not to do evil, that\'s all. As long as she doesn\'t commit evil, we won\'t do anything to her."
William almost laughed out loud, what a na?ve idea.
