The talisman you held in your hand was a Wind Curse, and when you counted to "five," the talisman in your hand suddenly emitted a green glow, and imdiately a fierce wind arose, howling in all directions!
"Six, seven, open your eyes!"
As everyone opened their eyes together, they were imdiately squinting due to the strong current of air around them – the graves and those frightening things beside them were chaotically dispersed, fading from your sight like smoke.
After the smoke was blown away, the vast graveyard had vanished without a trace, and you were still within the forest, with no significant difference from the environnt you had arrived in.
"What... what exactly were those things just now?" soone asked.
"Obviously, it’s the environnt, you guys really lucked out this ti, following our president. Without him, who knows how many people would have pissed their pants," Yang Kai said opportunely, smartly taking the chance to promote the supernatural detective society.
"President?"
"What president?"
"Right, tell us."
"Let’s walk and talk, this place is a bit sinister." You glanced around and noticed soone’s silhouette shimring not far within the forest.
Hiss—
Suddenly you began to doubt, if this was just a part of a training camp drill, then why would there be soone capable of setting up an Illusionary Formation?
And, how could there be soone within the army who knew about Formations?
The Illusionary Formation that you had just dispelled was substantial in scale, requiring at least a dozen people to cast – where would they find so many people?
Was this really just a simple exercise to train courage?
As Yang Kai touted his praises, he made you out to be like Heavenly Master Zhang, and at last, soone suddenly asked, "After we go back, can I join the supernatural detective society?"
Yang Kai shook his head with a smile, "Sorry, our first enrollnt has already ended. However, if you have any incurable diseases or unsolvable problems, you can co to our supernatural detective society. As our club is newly established, all our services are available at a 12% discount."
"Shh, quiet!"
You quickly gestured for everyone behind you to be quiet.
Reminded by you, everyone then realized that the scenery in front of them had changed again.
At that mont, the moon just happened to erge from the clouds. Under the bright moonlight, an unforgettable scene unfolded before you.
Bodies!
A mountainside full of bodies!
These bodies completely blocked the path in front of you, even piling up to form a small hill, leaving you with no choice but to climb over it.
"Ugh!"
It was unclear who was the first to throw up.
Imdiately afterwards, several others ran to the side to vomit.
Most of these bodies were dismbered, with intestines and internal organs scattered everywhere, and in so places, there were even just bloodied heads!
A gust of wind blew by, bringing with it an extrely unpleasant odor.
"Ugh!"
Unable to hold it in any longer, Yang Kai and Liao Yong also ran to the side to join the vomiting group.
Only you and Wei Shuxian remained standing.
Wei Shuxian’s face was just as pale, and he promptly hid behind you, patting your shoulder and saying, "Old Shu, co up with sothing fast to get rid of this hallucination; I really can’t stand it anymore. If we keep vomiting like this, I think our intestines will co out too, ugh!"
As soon as he ntioned intestines, Wei Shuxian suddenly noticed a strand of wet intestines hanging two ters in front of him. His stomach churned, and he couldn’t hold it in; he collapsed next to Yang Kai and began to vomit freely and violently.
You also held it in, but your sensation was sowhat better than theirs.
"Brothers, I’ve got so unfortunate news. Although this mountain of corpses is an illusion, I can’t break it; we’ll have to climb over it."
"Damn it! No way am I climbing!"
"Exactly, I’d rather dance with a female ghost than touch such disgusting stuff!"
"Yeah, compared to these things, Sadako’s like a Barbie doll!"
Yang Kai and Liao Yong also shook their heads; clearly, they too couldn’t handle it psychologically.
Wei Shuxian waved his hand at you: "Old Shu, the brothers can’t accompany you. Go ahead, carry the pride of all the brothers from our independent company and climb over!"
"Go for it, Old Shu!" The people behind you raised their fists in unison, as if you were about to make a heroic sacrifice.
"Gan! I have a na!" you said irritably, rolling your eyes, but as you turned around, your expression beca stern.
Truth be told, this thing wasn’t easy to get over.
An ordinary hallucinatory formation could only affect vision and hearing, yet this formation in front of you even included taste.
Oh! That sll!
I’m going to die, and I feel like throwing up too.
I twisted hard on my thigh, and the intense pain brought back to my senses. Then, I grabbed a handful of unknown wild grass beside my feet, twisted it into a small piece, and stuffed it into each of my nostrils.
Now, to , this pungent grassy sll was at least much more bearable than that nauseating stench.
I took two steps forward when suddenly two spherical objects fell from the mountain of corpses and rolled to my feet.
Looking down, I saw two bloody heads! One of them even had an eyeball fallen out!
After composing myself for a few seconds, I squinted and, with an unchanged expression, reached out to grab a hand that was sticking out, using the pulling force to quickly scale the mound.
You wouldn’t get the full effect from the ground, but once on top of this mountain of corpses, you’d realize these things seed frighteningly real!
My left foot shallow, my right foot deep, I climbed upwards using hands and feet. Sotis I would step on so gentleman’s head, other tis on so woman’s back. It took a good fifteen minutes to reach the peak of what seed like a not-so-tall pile of corpses.
"Badass!" Wei Shuxian gave a thumbs-up when he saw reach the peak.
"Old Shu you’re amazing! Old Shu I love you!" Yang Kai, like an infatuated fan, yelled in a shrill voice that was revolting.
I picked up a bloody head and hurled it at Yang Kai, sending him scrambling to hide behind Liao Yong.
"Keep yelling and see if I don’t smash your ass with a beautiful woman’s head," I sneered.
"No, no! Big Brother, I was wrong. I won’t dare again," Yang Kai quickly surrendered.
I looked down at the others and asked, "You really won’t co up? These things are actually no big deal, and you get used to them after a while."
The group below shook their heads unanimously.
Wei Shuxian stood up, wiped his mouth, and sighed, "Go ahead, we admit defeat and will head back."
Saying so, Wei Shuxian lead the others to turn around and walk back.
As they walked off into the distance, I prepared to descend from the mountain of corpses. It was much easier going down than coming up. Mainly because I had grown accustod to these things and the sll, I eventually removed the grass bundle from my nose and leapt down the corpse mound with ease.
The mont my foot touched solid ground, the scene in front of changed again, and the mountain of corpses behind vanished. I was still standing in the forest, only this ti, our training camp was a few hundred ters ahead.
Looking at my hands and body, once covered in fresh blood, everything had disappeared.
Suddenly, my left eye ward up, and I reflexively looked toward a spot to the front left. A scene a hundred ters away zood into my vision, with four people standing there, three n and a woman.
These four looked no different from ordinary people, but through my left eye, I noticed they were all surrounded by different colored glows, and each person’s brightness varied.
They had been watching from afar. One of the n in a Zhongshan suit even waved at with a slight smile on his face.
I ignored them, for even my toes could tell that they must be experts called by the training base. But I was confused—such people usually have very covert identities. Even if they are public servants, they likely hold high positions, not bound by regular officials, let alone a training base. I rembered when I arrived, the highest military rank I saw was just a captain.
I couldn’t make sense of it, not at all.
Soon, I stopped overthinking it. Since it didn’t make sense, I simply didn’t think about it. Whatever was supposed to happen would happen, and thinking about it now was useless.
With that, I strode towards the training base.
After I walked away, the man in the Zhongshan suit who had waved at earlier smiled and said, "What a great talent he is, to possess such temperant at such a young age."
"Captain, he’s just a bit tall and knows a few Five Elents Spells. Do we really need to test him so elaborately?" A man with a side-parted haircut beside him scoffed disdainfully.
"You don’t understand. According to my investigation, this kid should also have a Ghost Eye."
"Ghost Eye?" The ntion brought a surprised chorus from the three beside him.
The girl with a ponytail, dressed in a black Wind Coat, looked towards my retreating figure and frowned, "I thought he only had half a Yin and Yang eye. How did it beco a Ghost Eye?"
"A Yin and Yang eye is the initial symptom of a Ghost Eye. It doesn’t have any special abilities, except for being able to see clearly the entities of the Netherworld," the man in the Zhongshan suit mused. "Based on my observation, this child’s left eye should be a more advanced Ghost Eye than a Yin and Yang eye. He surely saw our faces just now."
"Seeing clearly from such a distance with just the naked eye? This kid is quite sothing. It seems our team is about to gain another impressive talent," remarked a man.
The ponytailed girl asked, "Captain, I rember my grandma telling about a man she t who had half a Ghost Eye. He could easily deal with existences like the Ghost King with just his Ghost Eye, and even the Ghosts of the Netherworld would take a detour around him. Are such people real?"
"Yes, but they are few," the man in the Zhongshan suit nodded.
"That’s almost too incredible, he is after all human," she remarked.
The man who had previously scoffed at coldly laughed, "What’s so surprising about that? I’ve heard there’s sothing even more powerful than a Ghost Eye."
"What’s that?"
"The Demon Eye."
"The Demon Eye?"
The man grinned, saying, "Yes, the Demon Eye. It’s said that out of ten million people, only one may have it. Those who possess the Demon Eye are akin to having a thousand years of cultivation!"
"Pfft, who would believe such tall tales?" The other two clearly weren’t convinced.
But the man in the Zhongshan suit whispered, "It’s true, indeed. However, those with a Demon Eye are mostly those Fate is cut off, born with a Ghost Eye and an unpredictable nature. If subjected to a great shock, they awaken the Demon Eye and eventually fall onto the Devil Path. Hence, once we find soone with a Demon Eye, we control them imdiately, and if necessary, we remove their Demon Eye."
"Ah? Seriously? That’s so cruel," the girl objected and then added, "Hey, Captain, do you think that guy might also have a Demon Eye?"
