Xie Huaiye was speechless for a moment after hearing her twisted logic.
I wanted to refute her, but then I realized that what she said seemed to make some sense.
He looked at Yan Ning's face, which was particularly lively with excitement.
Then look at her wrist wrapped in gauze.
The words of refusal were on the tip of my tongue.
I found it hard to say.
"But……"
"No buts!"
Yan Ning interrupted him, waving her small hand, "The amulet is broken, isn't it? Perfect! I'll upgrade it for you!"
"When the things arrive, I'll teach you a little trick to make your third eye clearer and more controllable!"
"From now on, you can turn it on and off whenever you want, and you'll never have to worry about being startled again! How about that? Doesn't it sound amazing?"
Xie Huaiye was both amused and exasperated.
Tempted? He was now only filled with dread!
This girl in front of him clearly wants him to be her temporary tool for the third eye!
Looking at the cunning glint in her eyes, ready to make a big move.
Xie Huaiye rubbed his temples helplessly.
He felt that his days were peaceful, despite the occasional ghostly encounters.
It may really come down with the breaking of the amulet.
It's gone forever.
Soon, the assistant delivered the items.
Yellow talisman paper, cinnabar box, and a bottle of realgar wine emitting a strong aroma.
Yan Ning directed Xie Huaiye to place the items on the small table.
He gestured for Xie Huaiye to open the cinnabar box and poured out a little realgar wine into the cup lid.
"The cinnabar is too dry; it needs to be mixed with realgar wine."
She explained, and then asked Xie Huaiye to use a clean cotton swab as a brush, dipping it in the mixture.
"Now, sit still," Yan Ning instructed, with a hint of excitement, "close your eyes."
Xie Huaiye closed his eyes as instructed, his heart pounding with anxiety.
I wonder what this quirky girl is up to.
Yan Ning used her two exposed fingers to pick up the cotton swab.
She held her breath, recalling the talisman patterns her master had shown her before.
Her master only showed it to her once or twice, and she has almost forgotten it now.
However, it's not a big problem, just keep drawing!
She dipped a cotton swab in cinnabar and realgar wine.
On Xie Huaiye's smooth forehead, a symbol was drawn crookedly.
After finishing the last stroke, she breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to herself:
"Is it done? Who cares, as long as the message is there."
"alright!"
Yan Ning announced loudly, "Xie Huaiye's brand high-definition controllable Yin-Yang Eyes have been upgraded."
Xie Huaiye opened his eyes and felt a cool, slightly itchy sensation on his forehead.
He instinctively reached out to wipe it, but Yan Ning grabbed his wrist.
"Don't wipe it! This is a certification rune. It was just drawn on, and the energy hasn't stabilized yet. It will take a while to take effect."
She said in a serious tone, but her eyes gleamed with cunning, "From today onwards, you will be my chief scout."
"If you see anything unusual in the future, remember to report it to me immediately, understand?"
Xie Huaiye looked at her excited expression, as if she had found a treasure.
Then look at that pile of strange things on the table.
Finally, he sighed helplessly.
But the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.
Well, it seems there's no getting off this pirate ship now.
He nodded resignedly, his tone carrying a hint of defeat:
"...Understood, Master Yan. Please guide me in the future."
Yan Ning released his hand with satisfaction, his eyes crinkling with a smile: "That's right, it was a pleasure working with you, thank you, scout!"
Not long after.
Xie Huaiye felt as if his forehead had been branded with a red-hot iron.
"hiss--"
He gasped, his vision blurring with stars.
The whole world started to shake.
He couldn't help but close his eyes and frown.
When he opened his eyes again, he felt that something was wrong with his surroundings.
It seems like... something is floating in the air?
It was blurry, like looking at something through frosted glass.
"It worked! I knew it!"
A clear, slightly smug voice.
The sound that rang in his ears was Yan Ning's.
She leaned very close, her bright eyes fixed on Xie Huaiye's forehead.
There were very faint golden lines flashing by.
"What?" Xie Huaiye was still a little confused.
Without saying a word, Yan Ning grabbed his arm and dragged him to the window.
She excitedly pointed to the bustling street outside:
"Look, look! What's different? Look closely!"
Xie Huaiye rubbed his aching forehead and looked in the direction she pointed.
This sight nearly scared the soul out of him!
The main road was bustling with people, except for those walking and driving normally.
There were even... other things floating around!
Those things were translucent, like wisps of smoke of various colors.
Some are dark gray, and some are pale white.
People of all shapes and sizes, men and women, young and old, come in all shapes and sizes.
He saw a stylishly dressed young white-collar worker.
A little baby with snot bubbles all over his face was sitting on his shoulder!
The baby's tiny feet were still dangling on her exquisite suit.
Beside them, behind a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase, looking hurried.
I followed closely behind an elderly woman with white hair and a wrinkled face, who was leaning on a cane.
The old lady would occasionally try to pat the man's back, but her hand would pass right through him.
"I saw... so many... ghosts." Xie Huaiye's tongue was tied in knots.
His back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
He took a sudden step back, almost knocking over the chair.
"Stay calm, stay calm."
Yan Ning quickly helped him up, giving him a look that said, "You're making a big fuss over nothing."
"Look how scared you are! It's good that you saw it; it means you have great talent and you successfully opened your eyes on the first try!"
