Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Breaking Barriers
Do you still have something from the master?
Song Qingyun looked suspicious upon hearing this, but seeing Zhou Yingting directly dripping two drops, he hesitated slightly in his heart, then learned to drop two drops of the liquid as well.
As the liquid entered the eyeball, Zhou Yingting opened his eyes and looked at the six people in front of him, but he saw nothing unusual about them.
Lin Yuxin, at this moment, was staring nervously at Zhou Yingting.
"Don’t try to frame me and say I have issues!"
At this moment, she was worried that Zhou Yingting would talk nonsense, say she had problems, and then deal with her as if she were some anomaly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting frowned and looked at her, "You don’t have a problem."
Could he have guessed wrong, that none of these people actually have issues?
On that day on the street, he clearly saw that she didn’t have a shadow!
But now looking at her, there was nothing unusual.
Or maybe, this liquid isn’t used like this, not meant for the eyes.
But if it’s not for the eyes, then what could it possibly be used for?
While Zhou Yingting was puzzling over this, Song Qingyun also dropped two drops of the liquid onto his eyes at this moment.
As he opened his eyes and glanced at Lin Yuxin and the others, he indeed couldn’t see anything wrong with these people either.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but frown and look at Zhou Yingting.
"There’s nothing strange among us, or is it that this thing of yours is...."
While speaking, Song Qingyun turned his head to look at Zhou Yingting, only to suddenly stop in mid-sentence, staring blankly at Zhou Yingting.
Zhou Yingting noticed the change in Song Qingyun’s tone and instinctively looked at him.
When he saw Song Qingyun looking at him with a horrified expression, Zhou Yingting’s heart instantly tightened, and it felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Mirror, give me a mirror!"
In an instant, Zhou Yingting understood the meaning in Song Qingyun’s gaze.
Zhou Yingting quickly turned and spoke to Lin Yuxin.
She had a small pouch, which should contain a small makeup mirror.
Frightened by Zhou Yingting’s expression, Lin Yuxin retrieved the small mirror from her bag, tremblingly handing it to him.
Zhou Yingting opened the mirror and immediately pointed it at his face, and the next moment, what he saw made his scalp tingle.
He saw a female ghost with blue, slightly transparent, and wet hair covering dead fish eyes, clinging to his back!
The ghost’s hand sometimes covered Zhou Yingting’s ears, sometimes moved to cover his eyes.
Seeing this scene, the chill in Zhou Yingting’s heart instantly amplified.
At this moment, the ghost on Zhou Yingting’s back seemed to sense something, revealing a pair of blank, dead fish eyes from the messy long hair, and as soon as their gaze met, it scurried off Zhou Yingting and quickly disappeared.
"Huff... huff..."
Zhou Yingting was breathing heavily, his face extremely unpleasant.
At this moment, images were flashing in his mind page by page.
He finally understood why on his first visit to Apartment No. 9, when the door suddenly closed, he couldn’t hear any sound.
Why he could see Lin Yuxin that day, but couldn’t see the shadow under her.
Why at the master’s home, it suddenly became pitch black, and even after using the Startled Swan Sword Technique, he couldn’t see the light on the sword.
It’s because the ghost has been lurking on him all this time, either covering his eyes or blocking his ears!
That day at the master’s house, if his eyes hadn’t been covered, no matter how dark it was, how could he possibly not see the light on his Startled Swan Sword?!
Damn thing!
"You guys, what’s wrong?"
The few people around recovered at this moment and all took a step back, looking at Zhou Yingting with vigilant eyes.
Though uncertain of what exactly happened, they had already guessed something from the two’s actions.
"It’s okay now, that thing left Zhou Yingting."
Song Qingyun also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, looking at Zhou Yingting with a somewhat relaxed expression as he said.
Song Qingyun hadn’t thought he’d see such a horrifying scene, and this scene had directly dropped his spiritual power by eight points!
Zhou Yingting was also not feeling well at that moment. When he saw the ghostly thing, his spiritual power was continually dropping, and the moment he locked eyes with it, it dropped by thirty points!
If it had been someone else, with already low spiritual power, just that scene a moment ago might have sent them away directly.
"Have you felt anything strange these days?"
Song Qingyun asked Zhou Yingting with a probing tone.
Zhou Yingting replied with a bitter smile, "In this ghostly place, all the strange things happening around seem justified."
With that, Zhou Yingting explained the incidents he encountered to the people present.
The crowd listened to Zhou Yingting’s description and instantly felt a chill down their spines.
According to Zhou Yingting, the door suddenly closed, and he didn’t hear any noise. If it were them, they’d think this Horror Dungeon should be like this and wouldn’t overthink.
Seeing Lin Yuxin with no shadow would only make them suspect there was something wrong with her, keeping them on guard against her.
As for the sudden darkness at the master’s house, they would think the ghostly thing had come to harm them.
Who would have thought that thing was just covering Zhou Yingting’s eyes!
"No wonder, on the first night, they said if the faucet turned on by itself, you had to close it, but you didn’t, letting it run all night. Wasn’t it because of that ghostly thing?"
At this moment, Song Qianqian said with a sudden realization.
The words left Zhou Yingting stunned.
"What did you say, on the first night they said to close the faucet? I thought they said never to do that, that closing it would cause trouble?"
Zhou Yingting looked at those present in astonishment.
The people exchanged glances with Zhou Yingting, their expressions revealing everything.
"It seems you were indeed affected by that ghost. That ghost intentionally didn’t let you close the faucet."
Song Qingyun slightly furrowed his brows, then said.
Hearing these words, a flash of insight suddenly crossed Zhou Yingting’s mind.
At this moment, as he glanced at the talisman in his hand and the people before him, everything seemed to make sense, everything could be connected!
"I got it!"
Zhou Yingting showed a joyful, relieved expression.
