The second floor has an old Chinese style, supported by four large red pillars, and two wooden chairs facing the balcony.
There is a rocking chair on the balcony. Sitting on it, you can directly overlook the guests coming in and out of the first floor.
This is the shopkeeper's favorite place. The more customers come, the more money he earns.
Every time I have enjoyed the scenery here enough, I will take some money and go to the Nightmare Restaurant for a meal, and then go to the Blue City Wild Forest to soak my feet.
In the days without Lin Fan, it lived the most luxurious life.
The shopkeeper, who had been so reserved, gradually relaxed and said uncertainly:
"Are you really just here to ask about the strange pupil?"
"Um."
"Not buying props?"
"So much nonsense."
Lin Fan frowned, and the shopkeeper waved his hands strangely, and he finally let out a sigh of relief.
If Lin Fan came here alone, it would at most be afraid of death.
But if the other party brings an old man with him, you have to be extra careful with your props.
The legend of the old man is known to everyone in the dark street at night.
"How do I communicate with this strange pupil?"
Lin Fan went straight to the point, unwilling to waste any time.
"Communication... The ghost pupils are actually different from ordinary ghosts. They don't actually have the need to communicate."
Weirdness has always been real. Since there is no demand, it will not speak.
However, facing Lin Fan's suddenly frowned brow, the shopkeeper strangely explained in detail:
"The Weird World actually has its own weirdness, which is something that cannot be moved, such as the Weird Eye or the Six Desire Flower. Compared to ordinary weirdness, they account for a small proportion and have varying strengths."
"Even if you threaten Ghost Eye, there are two main reasons why it won't speak."
"First, it's parasitic, which is equivalent to you signing a contract with it. The only way to break the contract is if you both agree and find another host to transfer it to. So, there's no need for it to speak. It's truly a matter of each taking what they need."
"Another one, it's not afraid of the soul dispersing, and doesn't even know what death means, so..."
The shopkeeper spoke strangely and tactfully.
The general meaning is that the Ghost Eye will not talk to the host, and unlike other contract monsters, it will only choose a host that is beneficial to itself.
We can tell from the fact that Guitong Zhui Ming set foot on the Broken Path that it probably has a special method. It saw the peculiarity of the old man and then followed him, just to improve its realm.
After the old man dies, it will still be alive in his eyes until another destined person, or a ghost, takes it away.
Rather than being weird, it is more like a prop with self-awareness.
This answer made Lin Fan and the other two a little disappointed.
If there was a way to make Guitong speak, its combat capability would definitely increase several times.
Just like the difference between Guiying fighting personally and only providing tricks to Lin Fan, the difference between the two is like the difference between the sea and the lake.
The huge gap is self-evident.
The old man tutted his words and interrupted to ask:
"Then what does it want from me? Or, in other words, what does it rely on to improve its strength?"
The two times when Guitong's strength increased were both inexplicable.
There's no way to figure out the pattern.
As a contractor, I couldn't even figure out this problem, and I felt insecure as if my wife hadn't come home all night.
"Improve your strength?"
The shopkeeper was slightly surprised, and then the eleven pairs of strange pupils in his eyes began to spin wildly. He then shook his head repeatedly and said affirmatively:
"It's impossible for the Ghost Eyes to improve their strength. Whatever strength they start with, that's what they'll always be. I've never heard of Ghost Eyes being able to improve. If you're talking about those plants, or the rumored Ghost Sword, I can accept that."
Faced with the increase in the strength of the Ghost Eye, in order to ensure its own rigor, it obviously also specially checked the current status of the other Ghost Eyes.
The old man felt the strange pupil that clearly showed the aura of the Broken Dao, and then said calmly:
"Why can't they improve their strength?"
"Nonsense... Good question! Ghost Eyes can't actively spend ghost money, nor can they survive without a host. If they want to increase their strength, there is only one way."
If this question was asked by the waiter in the shop downstairs, it would curse without thinking. Not hitting him directly is its bottom line in dealing with stupidity.
But the other party is able to summon two powerful men who have broken the Dao, so this bottom line can be lowered.
It took a deep breath. "For example, the pair of death-seeing pupils you stole... the contracted one. Their power can only be enhanced by nourishing them with lifespan. It's a bit mysterious, but this nourishment doesn't mean you just have to kill someone..."
Before the shopkeeper could finish his strange words, the old man's expression gradually froze, his pupils began to dilate, and his sight and focus were obviously not on it.
"That is to say... when it made the contract with me, it anticipated... that people from three cities would die because of me..."
The old man felt a little headache, and the scenes of the dead city appeared in his mind one by one.
There are many children and women who have managed to survive.
They don't even know how or why they died.
"No, it can't be, it..."
Lin Fan was the first to shake his head.
It doesn't make sense. How could the Death-Seeing Eyes see through the future? If it really has that ability, why is it just chasing after lives?
Putting this aside, the old man had the opportunity to meet the God of Longevity in this life because of his rebirth.
In the previous life, such an incident never happened.
The shopkeeper had no idea what the two people were talking about. He only vaguely heard something about the ghostly eyes that could see through death and the future.
He also shook his head along with Lin Fan, "Indeed, it can't possibly have that ability. Even the Predictive Eye can't see into the future. The Death-Seeing Eye's greatest function is to see through the life and death of both the weird and the human. How could it have so many messed-up abilities?"
“…”
Lin Fan's belief that it was impossible was gradually replaced by a guess.
The Death-Seeing Eyes did not see through the future, but it saw the old man's lifeline.
It should be a gamble, a gamble that the old man's lifeline has indeed been extended.
In the previous life, it made a wrong bet. The old man didn't make it to the Yellow Springs Ticket Station, nor did he have the chance to take a glimpse through the gap.
And in this life, it made the right bet. Not only did the old man survive, he also attracted the interest of the God of Longevity, and thus gained many more years of life.
Originally, there was no way to improve immortality, but with an extremely low probability, it made a qualitative leap.
This also explains why such a weak old man would be favored by the strange eyes with such strong auxiliary ability.
You know, if you are noticed by the Death-Seeing Ghost Eye, you don't need to complete any tasks or pay any price like you do when you contract with the Weird Young Master or the Ghost Shadow.
You just need to have the opportunity to see it and be chosen by it.
The old man took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
Weird people are always selfish, and there is not much point in thinking too much about what happened in the past.
After signaling to Lin Fan that he was fine, he turned to look at the shopkeeper strangely and took the initiative to speak:
"Then do you know what it means when the Death-Seeing Eye sees a glaring bright red?"
The shopkeeper froze strangely, and subconsciously said loudly:
"Fuck, punishment?!"
