"I said..." the Security Guard spoke slowly, his deep voice rolling like thunder, "『Do・Not・Move』!"
As those three words fell, Lin Yi felt his eardrums swell, as if he could hear something not belonging to human language within them. Immediately, the Sneering Angels, which had been clawing and howling in the Phantom, froze wholly within the "Ashes," unable to move an inch.
They were frozen abruptly, like a tape being played that someone had suddenly paused.
Then, the Security Guard slowly extended his hand into the seemingly intangible screen of light, gripping the throat of a Sneering Angel, as if yanking it out from within—a farmer hauling a goose by the neck.
Lin Yi's eyes widened in disbelief. He simply could not fathom how the Security Guard had accomplished this. When he faced the Sneering Angels, it had been like trying to catch the moon reflected on water, but it was as though the Security Guard had truly pulled the moon out.
It was as if he had mocked the Layers.
