"Please, let me go." The puppet let out a high-pitched, pleading cry.
"Hah! You've got some nerve saying that. Did you let anyone else go?" Bai Qi shrugged. "You see, we're basically the human world's antibodies. As long as you behave, you can coexist peacefully with humanity. But you insisted on becoming a virus and harming your host, so now you have to be eliminated."
"I beg you, I'll never do it again."
"Don't beg. It's useless. If you didn't beg, I'd at least respect you as a man... er, a piece of wood. You know, right? Even manslaughter has consequences, let alone your deliberate, malicious acts. You deserve divine retribution, not an ounce of this is unfair. So, I'll do the hard work and eliminate you now on behalf of the Underworld."
He raised his right arm, his fingers pinching the puppet's neck. With a series of CREAKS, the puppet's head tilted and its body slumped, looking like it was about to be snapped in two.
