Mariota's words rendered Olivia speechless.

Then, Mariota turned to Shannon, and her eyes were filled with a desperate plea.

"Ms. Jensen, I'm not trying to stop you from killing it. But before you do, could you save my parents' souls from its body?"

As she spoke, she clung to Shannon's arm and dropped to her knees. "I'm begging you. Please save my parents. I can't let them vanish completely along with that thing."

She believed in reincarnation, and though her parents might no longer be alive, their souls still deserved peace. That was the only thing she could do for them now.

"What's left in its body isn't their souls; it's the last fragments of their consciousness. Such consciousness doesn't last forever, and it'll fade with time. By then, the shadow spirit will be free from their influence…"

Shannon paused before looking at Mariota and voiced the harsh truth, "When that happens, the first thing the shadow spirit will do is feed on your soul."

Mariota's pupils dilated. Her grip on Shannon's arm faltered. "That can't be…"
