Chapter 526 – Human and Ghost

He saw An Zheng’s life force gush out likide, and that hand of the eye seemed to carry a kind of magic that An Zheng was unable to resist, making him unable to struggle free. But right at this moment, a light cat’s cry appeared beside An Zheng’s ears. That voice seemed to have come from deep within An Zheng’s heart. After a soft cry, An Zheng’s consciousness suddenly woke up.

Immediately after, a small galaxy appeared in front of An Zheng. Countless tiny but extremely bright stars slipped into the space between An Zheng and that eye. Dense stars circled around An Zheng for a while, and then all of them suddenly poured into the copper mirror.

In just a moment, a mournful cry rang out from the copper mirror. The red hook like dot in the eye started to spin rapidly but stopped very soon. The sparkling stars were like countless attacking soldiers as they quickly occupied all the red dots. Then the red dot turned into a sky-blue color.

In a flash, the hand that was grabbing onto An Zheng’s neck revealed a flame. The withered hand quickly began to burn, and the crackling sounds were as if it was frying something.

In just a short moment, the hand had been burnt to ashes, leaving only the greyish white bones. However, it was clear that the hand did not intend to give up and continued to grip onto An Zheng’s neck tightly. The flames burned even more fiercely, and a few seconds later, the hand was riddled with holes. Then he could see countless stars come out of the hole in his hand and go in. A few seconds later, the hand turned to ash and fell to the ground.

The copper mirror dropped to the ground withump, but An Zheng and the copper mirror had a very tight rope tied around them. When the copper mirror fell, An Zheng’s body involuntarily bent, and he almost kneeled down. He bent over and continued staring at the copper mirror.

Crack * The copper mirror suddenly cracked open. Immediately after, that eye flew out from inside, and immediately shot into An Zheng’s left eye.

In that moment, An Zheng felt that his eyes had gone blind. That scorching pain immediately spread throughout his entire body from his eyes, and his body began to tremble violently. The feeling of the fire burning in his eye sockets sent shivers down one’s spine. A person who had never experienced such pain was unable to experience it and could not imagine it. Even with An Zheng’s perseverance, he was almost unable to endure it. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans covered his forehead and his clothes were drenched.

Pain, the pain of being pierced in the heart and corroding the bones.

An Zheng’s legs trembled, but he was still unable to persevere any longer and eventually fell to his knees. He grabbed his head with both hands and rolled on the ground. He clenched his teeth to hold back the moan from coming out. However, under the intense pain, An Zheng’s body seemed to have curled into a ball.

No one could help him; he was the only one in the little room. Outside the door, the faceless monster that did not know what it was collapsed to the ground in fear, not daring to attack the door again. The door only had a frame and no door, but it just couldn’t get in.

An Zheng could not hold on and fainted from the pain.

When he woke up, his body felt an unprecedented cold. It was like being splashed with water and thrown into an ice cave, leaving him no one to rely on. There was nothing to keep warm, and the cold was seeping out of the body.

The source of the cold was in his left eye.

An Zheng subconsciously touched his tightly shut left eye, then saw that his hand was smeared with fresh red blood. His left eye was still bleeding, half of his face was covered with blood, and even his clothes were wet.

Although the pain had lessened somewhat, he was still unable to open his left eye. It was as if something was trying to crawl out from under his eyelids, or as if countless tiny knives were slicing his eyelids.

He struggled to stand up against the wall and looked around the room with his right eye. Apart from the broken meridians, there were no other changes. He often turned around to take a look. However, when he did so, the faceless monster that was still waiting outside immediately shrank back in fear and began to tremble.

An Zheng thought that his current bloodied face had scared it, so he did not think much about it. He squatted down, picked up the half-bronze mirror with trembling hands, and looked at it. In the mirror, he was simply another person. His entire face was deathly pale, as white as a sheet of white paper. The left side of his face was covered in blood, and from his left eye, blood was still flowing out. He could not stop it at all.

An Zheng didn’t know what was happening to his left eye;

He suddenly recalled that when he had first sent the Blood Pearl and the Heaven’s Eyes into the house, no matter if it was the outer or the inner room, there was no sign of the Heaven’s Eyes. An Zheng was silent for a while, before he suddenly understood something.

The eye in the bronze mirror must be the Heaven’s Eye.

He didn’t know what kind of monster was sealed in the copper mirror, but it had used it the moment the Heaven’s Eyes had entered. Although An Zheng did not feel the message from the Heaven’s Eyes, he also did not feel any danger. And the Heaven’s Eyes, had become the eye that the monster saw An Zheng with, which was also what An Zheng saw. The reason why An Zheng was unable to escape or struggle free was because the Heaven’s Eyes and him were from the same bloodline and had the same origin, he simply could not escape.

What was a star?

An Zheng thought that it was the good old man’s Eye of Nine Incarnations who had helped him. When good old man was in the peach forest at the bottom of the mountain, he should have already noticed the strangeness of this thatched cottage, and guessed that An Zheng would be attracted here, so he released his Eye of Nine Incarnations’s power first. The moment An Zheng encountered danger, this power appeared and helped him break free.

Heaven Eyes should have sensed that he was about to escape, so he rushed out, and jumped into An Zheng’s left eye. An Zheng was sure that he had lost his left eye, and thinking about it, the appearance of having only one eye left in the future was indeed ugly, but at any rate, his life was saved, wasn’t it? This was the price he had to pay for his recklessness. He clearly knew that there must be something strange in the room.

But why?

An Zheng could not help but ask himself. He clearly knew that there was something strange in the room, but why had he still entered? He recalled that it was definitely not because of his curiosity. He was no longer a man who could not control his curiosity. His mind was firm and unyielding. But he still walked in, as if something had been calling out to him all along, and that voice was actually in An Zheng’s mind.

Now that the voice had disappeared, An Zheng laughed bitterly. His left eye had also disappeared.

His body trembled as he walked out. His steps were incomparably heavy. It was as if all his energy had been drained from his body. He felt drowsy and on the verge of collapse. He held on to the door frame, and the faceless creature flinched again, but did not run away.

“Sorry.”

An Zheng smiled apologetically at it with his left eye closed. “So you wanted to stop me from coming in, right? I apologize, I misunderstood you. ”

The faceless monster seemed to be about to say something, but it had no facial features. It had no way to express itself, not even an expression. However, An Zheng could feel that it wanted to tell him that this place was too dangerous.

Using the Broken Army Sword as a walking stick, An Zheng left the house with difficulty step by step. He turned around and saw the faceless monster following behind him like a fish. It had hands and feet, but it couldn’t walk. An Zheng knew that it did not have any malicious intent, and was probably worried about him.

After exiting the courtyard, An Zheng felt some changes behind him. Turning his head to look, he realized that a fire had suddenly erupted from the thatched cottage, and quickly engulfed the entire thatched cottage. The fire spread out from the thatched cottage and quickly set the wattled fencing on fire. The fence that was filled with roses was instantly engulfed by the sea of fire.

An Zheng sped up his footsteps and left. As he went down the mountain, he passed by the peach trees, as if he had seen the ghosts on the peach trees more clearly. They all seemed terrified and distorted. When they came up the mountain, they were all extremely sinister and terrifying, as if they could break free from the peach tree and grab An Zheng to split him into eight pieces at any time. However, when An Zheng went down the mountain, they seemed to be completely shocked by something.

An Zheng no longer had the mind to care about these ghosts, he only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Although his steps were unsteady, the speed at which he descended the mountain was much faster than when he first arrived at the foot of the mountain. As An Zheng walked, he took ouill from the Blood Pearl Bracelet and swallowed it, in case the wound on his left eye worsened.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, he felt someone tugging at his back. He turned around and saw the faceless monster pulling at his sleeve. The faceless monster indicated for An Zheng to head towards the stream. An Zheng was silent for a moment before asking: “You want me to wash your wounds?”

The faceless monster nodded its head vigorously, An Zheng then went over and squatted by the stream, wanting to wash his face.

At this moment, a shout came from behind him. An Zheng turned around to look and realized it was Chen Shaobai and Qi Tian rushing over from afar. Their clothes were torn and stained with blood. It was obvious that they had just experienced a fierce battle. Looking at how breathless they were, they knew how troublesome their opponents were.

“An Zheng, why are you here!”

Before Chen Shaobai could finish his words, he saw An Zheng’s bloody face and bloody left eye, “Ah! “What’s wrong with you!”

Chen Shaobai quickly rushed over to support An Zheng, and then turned his head to look all around him: “Who is it! “Who the f * ck is that!?”

An Zheng pulled him back, “It was my own carelessness... Are you guys okay? It seems like you’re fighting someone? ”

Chen Shaobai’s voice became teary, “Look at yourself, you’re still thinking of asking if we’re fighting … Are you in pain? ”

Qi Tian also rushed over, after looking at it, his expression changed too: “What’s going on, why have you only separated for a short while, your eyes are already like that.”

An Zheng laughed and shook his head, making himself look a little more relaxed: “Nothing much, just a blind eye. I’ll wash my face first. We’ll talk later. ”

It was only then that An Zheng noticed that the Faceless Monster had disappeared. It must have been because of fear, that Chen Shaobai and the others had come over and jumped into the stream. An Zheng knew that the thing was very timid and did not say anything.

“How did you find me?”

An Zheng asked.

Chen Shaobai said, “When we meet the people trapped in the illusion, we will immediately start running without a fight. Luckily, the both of us ran away quickly or else we would have been surrounded. Those people had been trapped for so long that even their mentality had changed. They fought as if they were crazy. Not just us, but their own people. If I get trapped again, I’m afraid it won’t be long before they kill each other. ”

An Zheng held the water and washed his face. He felt that the stream was extremely cool, as if it was the best miracle medicine in the world. Even the pain in his eyes had been alleviated. He began to wash his left eye with water, and the pain lessened with each contact. An Zheng dived his face into the stream and then saw the faceless monster lying at the bottom of the stream, smiling at him.

Smile?

An Zheng could not help but be taken aback. Didn’t the faceless monster not have any facial features?

An Zheng shook his head, trying to look again, only to realize that the faceless monster was smiling at him. It was a young man who looked like a symbol. He was delicate and pretty, with good looks and a sunny smile.

The faceless monster raised its finger to point at its left eye and then laughed.

An Zheng suddenly woke up from his daze... His left eye was not blind. He subconsciously closed his left eye, but what he saw with his right eye was still that faceless monster. He closed his right eye and saw a smiling handsome youth in his left eye.

The teenager waved his hand towards An Zheng and followed the stream.

An Zheng stood up straight and turned to look at the mountain behind him.

Red flashed in his left eye, and then he saw that the mountain was not a mountain at all, but two large doors. The door was black, the one on the left had the word ghost, and the one on the right had the word human.

An Zheng didn’t know what that meant, but he felt that his left eye was looking at another world.
