It is a secret hidden in the darkest corner of my heart, a pair of eyes without pupils that will never know the taste of tears.
It can devour souls, and even more.
In the end, I don't even know what it is.
"Don't be afraid, Husband," Ke'er said, lifting her gaze to me. "No matter what you become, I will always like you."
Blood continued to flow from the corner of my eye.
Ke'er wanted to reach out and wipe it away, but I flinched away.
"Husband."
I replied, "Ke'er, just rest well."
Ke'er nodded. I called for Jianjian, who hurried over, while Wind Tree ran over and called out to her sister. I handed Ke'er over to Jianjian.
At this moment, the Paper Men were still bowing, each one attached to a Soul.
The Paper Man that had just been burned by Ke'er's soul power had already returned its essence to my eyes. I walked towards the Paper Men; having devoured so many Wraiths, the pain had long since faded.
This "Live Burial" had already claimed half of my life. At this moment, my hand felt as if it were clinging to starlight as I stepped into the pile of Paper Men.
I began to pull out a few Souls from the Paper Men. Later, I realized it wasn't necessary to exert so much effort; the light from the red White Lantern was growing dimmer.
In the haze, I suddenly saw him standing across from me.
Luminous Eyes - Infatuation Chapter has been uploaded.
He was speaking to me, his lips moving, but last time I couldn't hear any sound clearly. This time, however, I could understand some of it.
His lips moved as he spoke, "When a person dies, they become a ghost. A ghost is essentially a soul, and when souls gather in the eyes, secrets can be revealed." I couldn't hear him after that.
Not long after, he handed me the White Lantern he had been holding.
He was handsome, but there was always a sense of distance about him.
I took the White Lantern from his hands, and suddenly he flashed me a strange smile. Then he slowly faded away, leaving me with the White Lantern.
However, it remained unlit. After the White Lantern appeared, I murmured his words a few times, and suddenly the White Lantern in my hand lit up without warning.
The surroundings were illuminated, and all the Souls began to detach from the Paper Man. As long as they were touched by the light of the White Lantern, the Souls would break free and stand there in a daze.
The Paper Man collapsed to the ground. Wang Wei rushed over and started tearing at them, ripping many of the Paper Men apart. At that moment, the red White Lanterns hanging on the wall began to fall one by one, all crashing to the ground and being burned.
A cold wind blew in from somewhere, causing the Soul Banner hanging on the wall to flutter.
"This is your first funeral gift, a Live Burial. There will be more surprises for you in the future." The voice sounded exceptionally bloodthirsty. After those words were spoken, the wind ceased.
The light of the White Lantern also went out, and Wang Wei looked at me in surprise.
I glanced back at Wang Wei, who quickly averted his gaze. I asked him, "What about this lantern?"
Wang Wei shook his head hurriedly, looking anxious and fearful.
Dozens of Souls stood there in a daze, their consciousness seemingly bound. Just then, Wind Tree shouted, "Brother, that's my mother."
After saying that, Wind Tree ran towards her mother. However, that Soul showed no reaction; here, the consciousness of the Souls had already perished.
They were now merely puppets.
No matter how much Wind Tree called out to that Soul, there was no response at all.
"Brother, what's wrong with my mom?" Wind Tree asked me.
I was momentarily at a loss for words, but just then, Noodles suddenly started barking. At first, I didn't understand what was happening, but when I finally realized, I saw a dark figure walking toward the parking lot exit.
Wang Wei noticed it too. I thought that must be Mastermind, the one who said he would wake me up next time. Wang Wei and I quickly chased after him.
However, by the time we reached the parking lot exit, there was no sign of him.
"Damn it, he must have run away."
I scanned the area, but just then, Noodles barked a couple more times, and I saw the shadow was already several hundred meters away from us.
We chased after him again.
But all we could see was his back. He had a somewhat bulky figure and an aged voice. The last thing he left me with was, "See you at the next funeral."
Wang Wei and I ran a few steps but couldn't catch up at all.
In the end, we turned back. Jianjian was already helping Ke'er out. Ke'er looked extremely weak as I pulled her into my arms.
Her cheeks were pale, and there were still traces of blood in my eyes.
"Saning Brother, your eyes..." Jianjian called out to me.
Wind Tree looked at me with fear in her eyes. She said, "Brother, my mom is gone."
Jianjian held Wind Tree close. I told Wind Tree not to be sad; there was nothing I could do about her mother since she had already lost consciousness.
The methods of that dark figure were indeed ruthless and vicious; he had extracted so many souls.
I took a deep breath. I had survived this live burial, but Ke'er had been harmed.
I wanted Wang Wei to hold this White Lantern for me, but he stubbornly refused, shaking his head in fear. In the end, Wind Tree offered to help.
So, I handed the White Lantern to Wind Tree.
I said to Ke'er, "Ke'er, wait for me a moment." I didn't want her to worry because I feared she would see my horrific state later.
I called Wang Wei to help me look for Wind Tree's body inside the building.
Once Wang Wei found the body, he seemed to come alive again, eagerly agreeing and following me inside.
As we entered the building, my expression darkened. I bit my lip hard enough to break the skin; the pain surged through me like an electric shock, though it wasn't as intense as before.
Wang Wei said, "Saning, you can start now. I'll keep watch!"
"What are you watching for? Hurry up and find Wind Tree's body!" Wang Wei thought I wanted him to keep watch while I searched, but I was genuinely looking for Wind Tree's body.
After Wang Wei left, I sighed in relief and muttered to myself, "This pain is killing me." It felt like my soul was being twisted in agony.
I had indeed let Wang Wei in to find Wind Tree's body.
But I didn't want anyone to see me. I went into a room in this dilapidated building and faced the darkness alone. I drew my own blood and prepared for the fourth time to let it drip into my eyes. The third time had already hurt so much that I wished for death; I couldn't imagine what this fourth time would feel like.
In the darkness, I couldn't see anything. My hand reached my eye as I smeared the blood in. At first, it was just a little painful, then it felt like salt on a wound. After that, my fists tightened, beads of sweat pouring down like water, veins bulging on my forehead.
I held back; otherwise, I'd cry out. My eyes burned fiercely as blood vessels slowly began to appear, spreading into the whites of my eyes until blackness gradually emerged.
Blood trickled from my lips, and I was drenched in sweat. Finally, when I opened my eyes wide, it felt as if all the pain from my body converged into my vision at once.
I could no longer hold back; a cry escaped me like a wounded beast—a piercing scream that lasted for several seconds before finally subsiding. My hand pressed against the wall as I clawed at it, blood streaming down its surface.
Wang Wei hurriedly ran over.
As he entered, he quickly asked, "Saning, how are you? Are you alright?"
I glanced at Wang Wei, holding my breath, and asked him, "Did you find Wind Tree's body?" Wang Wei nodded, indicating that he had.
At that moment, I was unaware of how terrifying my appearance was—my cheeks were pale, and my body felt like it was about to collapse.
Wang Wei looked at me with concern and asked, "Saning, can you handle this?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and bring Wind Tree's body here. We need to leave this cursed place now."
Wang Wei acknowledged and prepared to leave, but I couldn't help but call out to him. He turned back and asked, "Is there anything else?"
I looked at Wang Wei and finally managed to calm my tone. I asked him, "How do my eyes look now? Will Ke'er still be scared when she sees them?"
Wang Wei came closer to examine my eyes. He checked both the left and right ones and said, "There's nothing wrong; they just seem darker."
I took a deep breath, feeling a bit anxious. I asked in an uncertain tone, "Ke'er really won't be scared when she sees them?"
But just as I finished speaking, I saw...
