Chapter 168

The voice in my ear is so seductive that, when my willpower is weak and my body and mind are exhausted, I can't help but want to believe and agree.

"Yes…"

A triumphant smile was already on Madman's lips.

"It's Xavier…"

I tried with all my might to rouse the cells of my body from their lethargy and put them on alert with me.

"It's Xavier…"

"Xavier…"

I say, "I don't know whether I have spoken out; I don't know whether I am in a dream or awake." I just try to bite the tip of my tongue, in pain, again and again.

I don't know what happened after that. I was half awake and half asleep, fighting with myself, not knowing what Madman was doing next to me.

"You talk like you can do anything now, and you can't even hypnotize a half-dead man like that?"
