Council Holt swallowed hard and asked: "What are those black threads… exactly?"
Logan sat back down and tapped the table with his fingers as he explained: "Shadow Beings. A kind of foreign thing that lives deep in the soul. It can eat away at the host's mind and turn them into puppets."
Logan paused, then added: "Those three were completely taken over. The person controlling them found out they were exposed, so they killed them right away."
Diablo Judge spoke in a deep voice: "Who is the one controlling them?"
Logan didn't answer. His Divine Perception was fixed on Newson.
The shadow energy on Newson's palm had disappeared, and his expression had returned to calm. But the cold sweat on his forehead gave him away.
Newson slowly spoke: "Logan principal is really powerful."
Then he changed his tone: "But is it too hasty to decide it's Shadow Beings just because three officials had something wrong inside them?"
