Upon finding the ancestral hall, Shi Jinzhe was surprised to discover that it had also been destroyed.
Qian Chang couldn't help but ask, "Has this house been robbed?"
"pretty close."
Yao Shu straightened the scattered memorial tablets, and the group tacitly remained silent, searching for relevant information.
Sheh couldn't bear to see Shi Jinzhe's frail appearance, so he picked one up. As he picked it up from the ground, a hand touched the other end of the memorial tablet.
She looked up and saw Huang Yingzong.
His eyes were a little dazed, and his deep brown pupils met Shekh's gaze. Through his purple eyes, which were partially obscured by a semi-transparent ribbon, he saw a blind woman lying on his back.
A face appeared behind her shoulder, a deep smile on her lips, which stretched further and further back until her mouth was almost pulled open.
Huang Yingzong's eyes could not withstand the eye contact with Shekh, and two lines of blood quickly flowed from the corners of his eyes, leaving horrifying marks on his face from the bloody tears.
He couldn't control his body again, just like that night when he was forced to stand by the bed and stare intently at Lin Shu.
At that time, he kept thinking about why Lin Shu hadn't woken up yet. If Lin Shu woke up and took a look at him and found that something was wrong with him, even beating him up would be better than letting him be controlled by the monster.
The woman leaning on his shoulder was still laughing, while Huang Yingzong's face was covered in blood.
The stinging pain made the whites of his eyes feel as if they were being torn to pieces by bloodshot veins, and it hurt as if they were shattered, yet he could still see the eyeless woman clearly.
It's like when you close your eyes at night and feel like someone is watching you; he can sense it.
Her beautiful, amethyst-like eyes became a weapon used by the blind woman to commit murder.
Huang Yingzong had read on the forum that people said Shekh's eyes were very special and it was best to avoid looking directly at them, but he never expected that despite all the precautions, his death would be in this way.
It felt as if a thick steel needle had been inserted into the top of his head, stirring up a raging storm in his mind and tearing his consciousness to shreds.
The woman behind him lowered her head, her withered, pale fingers touching Huang Yingzong's eyes, her sharp nails slicing into the corners of his eyes.
"Well…!"
Shekh grasped her hand, and a pair of illusory purple eyes appeared behind Huang Yingzong. She could see the same things Huang Yingzong saw in the reflection of her pupils.
The ancestral hall was so quiet that only the cawing of crows could be heard outside. Sheh pulled the blind woman who was lying on his back off.
Black sludge emerged from the eyeless woman's body, and the others gradually saw her true form.
Shekh didn't want to touch the mud, so he let go of it like he was throwing away trash.
The blind woman seized the opportunity and retreated instantly, but unexpectedly stepped into the black and gold corrosive liquid.
Schech glanced at Huang Yingzong, who covered one eye and held a black and white chessboard in his hand.
At her feet was a black chess piece wearing a crown.
At this moment, all nine people, including the eyeless woman, were standing on a giant chessboard.
Huang Yingzong stood up despite the pain and explained to Sheh, "This is my skill [Black and White Grid], a ranged attack card. She's got her eye on me. She finally managed to get away from me, and I can't let her escape."
"Even if you don't tell, she can't escape."
Shekh would not allow the attempt to use her eyes to kill someone else.
The blind woman was escaping the black-gold corrosive liquid. She did have some strength, leaping away from the most dangerous square and heading towards Yao Shu.
The Death card altered the positions of life and death, instantly switching Yao Shu's location and taking her away.
The woman lunged at empty air, and from the hollow eye sockets came gurgling sounds of filth churning inside; her strength was growing.
Huang Yingzong moved his chess piece, and the two queen pieces on the chessboard triggered a charge effect, rushing straight towards the blind woman.
Fu Guan stroked his chin: "Chess, this skill is quite interesting. Can you play against another player with this skill?"
"Huh?" Huang Yingzong was stunned. Was this the kind of issue to be discussed now?
"Don't worry, this woman isn't going anywhere. The one in front of you can take on nine men at once." Fu Guan waved. "So come over here and tell me about your skills."
He really liked this area-of-effect skill card and wanted to see its specific effects.
The chessboard was very large, and it took Huang Yingzong several moves to move one square.
Shekh remained motionless, observing the blind woman for quite some time.
She wondered why the characters in the novel could think of using her eyes to kill someone.
One's own eyes cannot be looked at directly because too much energy is sealed, but the teacher who is a spirit has no such need. The blind woman's behavior is enough to show that she is targeting herself, not the teacher.
Why is this happening? Aren't their behaviors pre-programmed?
Using her eyes goes beyond the understanding of the characters in the book.
Shekh remained still, while the others retreated to the edge.
Unable to leave the chessboard, the blind woman changed her target once again, heading straight for the weakened Shi Jin.
Then it was swept hard to the ground by a tail.
The constantly emerging black mud emitted a putrid smell, and her limbs were covered in it, splattering everywhere when she attacked.
Qian Chang was thrown to the ground, cried out in pain, and when the hand was removed, his skin was torn open, revealing his bones.
Shi Jinzhe offered her an umbrella, but Sheh glared at him, thinking it was in the way.
She noticed that the black mud on the blind woman's body was somewhat similar to her corrosive liquid; looking at it too much would make one's mood lean towards negativity.
Realizing she couldn't get close to Shekh, the blind woman waved her hand, and black mud covered the ground, from which countless skeletons and rotting corpses crawled out.
Qian Chang slapped his thigh: "Holy crap, this is the thing that chased me in the coffin that day! It's incredibly hard to hit, you can't even hammer it."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the white-boned, rotting corpses at the forefront were swallowed up by the black-gold corrosive liquid until not a trace remained.
As many skeletons and rotting corpses as there were, Shekh couldn't understand the question and didn't intend to waste any more time.
Bottomless, corrosive caves appeared on the chessboard. The blind woman watched as the summoned skeletons and rotting corpses were devoured one after another, her broken tongue stammering as she tried to speak.
"No..." How could that be?
“Nothing is impossible.” Shekh clenched his fist, and the corrosive liquid carried the woman’s body to her.
The woman mumbled, "...Summon... Warrior..."
"When your time is up, is this person still of any use?"
Shekh answered his own question: "If you don't speak, I'll just treat you as useless."
The most potent force of calamity, capable of inducing the darkest and most desperate aspects of a person, was sent into the body of the blind woman. Extreme pain manifested on her face, and the blind woman screamed in pain as her body convulsed violently.
“…Soldiers…Save…”
"So you were controlling soldiers."
Shekh seemed to understand something, then said, "But soldiers can't save you, but I can summon these things too."
Calamities can trigger wars, and she can have as many as she wants.
Shattering her last delusion, Shekh packed up the eyeless woman and the chessboard full of bones and sent her away without moving an inch.
Shi Jinzhe stepped forward to wipe her hands, a sight that brought tears to everyone's eyes. Qian Chang lowered her head and murmured, "I thought it was going to be a fierce battle..."
Fu Guan patted his arm and said, "You're right, that's how it is from the enemy's perspective."
