What?Disbelief? I asked how can a Mudokon enter in a well, for example, before to be in a secret area (for example in the second secret area of the Necrum).

The Mudokons are there because that’s where they’ve been made to work.

1. He might not understand exactly what’s happening, but clearly he realized he wasn’t in control of his actions. Being so lazy and unintelligent, he might know nothing of Mudokon possession. Other industrialists might be more familiar with the idea from personal experience or reading about it. They fear chanting, and Sligs will shoot each other if they stumble around all glassy eyed.
   
2. In exactly the same way, Abe can (although not perfectly) imitate Sligs pretty well. Maybe he can access the possessees’ memories and personality and draw off those. Or maybe Abe is actually a very good actor.
   
3. He’s a scapegoat. The industrialists don’t want to admit that, as individuals, companies, and families, they’ve been unable to prevent economic decline. Since Lulu’s Fund is responsible for several respectable Glukkon businesses going down the drain, he makes the perfect recipient of blame. Being penniless and incompetant, he can hardly defend himself.
