Ch166, What is Ran-Mao? Really.
Completely out of context, I initially mistook this...
...for Sebastian going into demon form, with black tendrils flying out from his hair. I thought he had somehow kept an eye (or three) on the events taking place at Heathfield Manor, and that he waited until the last possible moment to jump in and save Mey-Rin and Ran-Mao.
But no. In context, it’s clearly Ran-Mao, who must not have truly been knocked out... or at least not for very long. I suspect she completely faked being subdued and knocked out, particularly since she apparently gave Chris Heathfield the beating she told Mey-Rin she would (if she found incriminating evidence) back in ch155. 🤛
And, damn. She’s fast. I mean, we knew that, but so fast that she moved and got into attacking position before Jane could even register it? Jane’s crazy fast, too.... 👀
Now I’m back to wondering if Ran-Mao isn’t entirely human. Maybe any blood they were collecting from her isn’t useful? Idk. 😐
Sure would help explain why Lau rose so fast in the ranks at Qīng Bāng.... 🤔
