In a gloomy and dim Secret Room beneath Hongfa Temple, Su Mu Bai watched the Lord of Ghost Eyes hanging upside down from the White Bone Tree with a vigilant expression.
Although he had made up his mind to pull out the Coffin Nail pinned in the Lord of Ghost Eyes, he hesitated before taking action.
The Terror Level of the Lord of Ghost Eyes was simply too high; just standing in front of it, Su Mu Bai already felt a sense of being suppressed, and this was even with the opponent being pinned down by Coffin Nails.
“It’s hard to imagine just how terrifying the Lord of Ghost Eyes will be when fully revived. The Original Work had too little description of him; even before I transmigrated, I never saw the Lord of Ghost Eyes appear!”
A sharp light flickered uncertainly in Su Mu Bai’s Eyes.
He had his own ideas.
“It’s hard to say whether the Lord of Ghost Eyes possesses intelligence or not. If he doesn't, can I usurp his position? After all, the ability to ‘Invasion’ isn't just useful against people; it’s also useful against ghosts!”
“Ghost… Control ghosts!”
This was a huge gamble, betting that the Lord of Ghost Eyes lacked intelligence, because if so, even if Su Mu Bai became a Puzzle Piece of the opponent, he could maintain the initiative.
This situation was like the Starving Ghost and the Human Skin Paper; if the Starving Ghost swallowed the Human Skin Paper, it would be hard to say who truly lost out.
In Supernatural Events, anything is possible.
If Su Mu Bai pulled out the Coffin Nail and the Lord of Ghost Eyes attacked him, Su Mu Bai would absolutely be unable to resist, most likely becoming one of the Lord of Ghost Eyes’ Puzzle Pieces.
But conversely, it would also mean the Lord of Ghost Eyes had completed Su Mu Bai’s Puzzle Piece; whoever’s consciousness controlled the body then would be the winner.
During its growth period, the Starving Ghost could indiscriminately devour Fierce Ghosts because, in its view, it didn't matter much which Fierce Ghost ultimately controlled the body, as it would still end up being the Starving Ghost.
If the Lord of Ghost Eyes truly allowed Su Mu Bai to become a part of its Puzzle Piece, who could say that it wasn't the Lord of Ghost Eyes completing Su Mu Bai’s Puzzle Piece?!
“Actually, I shouldn't overthink it; the more I think, the more reservations I have. In the Original Work, Yang Jian pulled out the Coffin Nail without issue, which means the safety level is quite high. Besides, I am a ghost, so I don't need to worry about death at all.”
Su Mu Bai’s gaze became firm.
He was not someone who procrastinated; since he had decided to pull out the Coffin Nail, he immediately began his Action.
The Coffin Nail pinned in the Lord of Ghost Eyes’ chest was as thick as an adult arm, and the nail looked very old, covered in rust.
Su Mu Bai reached out, but stopped his movement just as he was about to touch it.
“I should take some safety precautions!” Su Mu Bai turned around, picked up several sheets of gold foil that had just been torn off, and then wrapped the Lord of Ghost Eyes’ body with them.
After doing all this, Su Mu Bai reached out his hand again, extending it toward the chest of the Lord of Ghost Eyes.
“Clang!”
Su Mu Bai’s right hand grasped one end of the rusty Coffin Nail; the touch was icy cold, as if grasping a piece of ice.
“I hope everything goes smoothly, just like with Yang Jian, and I won't be attacked!” Su Mu Bai muttered to himself, then applied force to his hand and began to pull it out.
With a sound like “Clang!”
The process of pulling out the nail was unexpectedly smooth; Su Mu Bai didn't even need much effort, and the Coffin Nail was pulled out directly.
However, the next moment.
Something Eerie happened.
“Hualala~~~” As soon as the rusty Coffin Nail left the body of the Lord of Ghost Eyes, a Yin Wind suddenly blew through the sealed Secret Room out of thin air.
The strange Yin Wind carried an indescribable, peculiar odor, and the temperature in the Secret Room instantly dropped several degrees.
“Revived as soon as the Coffin Nail left? Already starting trouble?” Su Mu Bai narrowed his Eyes, vigilantly watching the Lord of Ghost Eyes’ body, his right hand clutching the Coffin Nail tightening unconsciously.
“It wasn't like this in the Original Work either. Is it because I don't have the protagonist's halo?” Su Mu Bai silently complained in his heart.
“Zzz~~~ Zzz~~~”
An unknown Supernatural Power spread out from the Lord of Ghost Eyes in all directions. Su Mu Bai’s Black Mist Ghost Domain was affected and began to become unstable.
“That exaggerated? His body is wrapped in gold foil, and he hasn't fully revived yet, but he can already affect my Ghost Domain?!” Su Mu Bai’s expression turned somewhat ugly.
The area covered by the Black Mist Ghost Domain was shrinking. A mysterious Supernatural Power was spreading, affecting the Black Mist Ghost Domain. Although it could still be used normally, the covered area instantly shrank by about a quarter.
“A bit much. I should leave first. Since it’s the Lord of Ghost Eyes, I’ll leave it for Ghost Eye Yang Jian to deal with personally.”
Su Mu Bai stood still, pondered for a moment, and decided to retreat first, unwilling to have a direct confrontation with the Lord of Ghost Eyes.
His intuition told him that even with the Coffin Nail in his hand now, he was still no match for the Lord of Ghost Eyes.
As for invading the Lord of Ghost Eyes, that was something he would only do if he were attacked and had no other way out.
There were still many things he could do; he had plenty of options to choose from.
The Black Mist surged, and as the light of the Ghost Domain flickered, Su Mu Bai’s Figure vanished from the Secret Room.
“Clang,” “Clang”………
After Su Mu Bai’s Figure disappeared, the gold foil wrapping the Lord of Ghost Eyes fell off piece by piece, hitting the ground with metallic sounds.
The Lord of Ghost Eyes, which had originally been hanging from the White Bone Tree, had detached from the White Bone Tree at some unknown point and was now standing motionless on the Bluestone floor tiles.
The tall Figure of the Lord of Ghost Eyes stood silently and motionlessly in the Secret Room.
Time passes second by second………
After a long while.
The Lord of Ghost Eyes suddenly raised its Head, glanced in the direction Su Mu Bai had left, and then turned its gaze toward a certain Area in Dachang City.
Its face was very blurry, its features impossible to discern; it had the outline of a person but lacked human facial features, resembling a Figure condensed from a Black Shadow.
………………
In Dachang City, in a bachelor apartment.
“Swish!” Yang Jian, who was still asleep, suddenly opened his Eyes, rubbed them, and looked toward the Wall beside his headboard behind him.
On the Wall behind him, a faint red light eerily shimmered.
The shadow without a Head was reflected motionlessly on the Wall.
On the Headless Ghost Shadow, five scarlet, eerie Eyes rotated uneasily. This time, it wasn't that the Headless Ghost Shadow had lost control; rather, the Ghost Eye seemed to have sensed something.
“What’s going on?” Yang Jian, now awake, looked somewhat puzzled: “What caused the usually Calm Ghost Eye to suddenly become agitated?”
“Did a Supernatural Event occur somewhere in Dachang City?!” Yang Jian guessed that the Ghost Eye had sensed another Supernatural Power, which was why it was suddenly acting abnormally.
………………
In the Secret Room beneath Hongfa Temple.
A gust of Yin Wind blew past.
The Lord of Ghost Eyes’ body also vanished from the spot.
