Chapter 155 The Ouija Board (32) Just like talking to someone off-camera...
She understood why she was the "incomplete" eye of observation.
Countless world lines unfolded before her eyes.
A line stretched out before her eyes, every inch a node, each node a possibility of a world.
Some nodes burn up as soon as they arrive, turning to ashes and leaving behind wisps of smoke. Other nodes branch out into new lines, and these new lines also spread out in an instant, like the roots and branches of an ancient tree, or a neural network, densely covering the ground.
She saw Him.
Xie Tan also saw Him through the comics.
All world lines make no difference to Him, because He is the only one.
He walked among men with a faint, enigmatic smile, like a wisp of ethereal black smoke.
Wherever they go, the desires of greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, and lust are reflected and automatically guided, so even the most outrageous thoughts become reality.
The comic depicts many scenes, and just one of them is enough to send chills down your spine.
Xie Tan recognized that it was the "end of the road," a fork in the road that led all the way to the river, which was also within the jurisdiction of Xue Hong Police Station.
With a faint smile, He wandered aimlessly through the streets, with invisible black smoke following behind Him, sweeping across the world.
Then, the mother who was begging for mercy while holding the corpse at the alley entrance suddenly realized that the child in her arms had resumed breathing. She embraced the child and wept bitterly. She put her hands together around the child's neck, her eyes filled with tears, and prayed to the heavens, not knowing which deity she was thanking.
The crying attracted the attention of a fugitive being chased by the police. The fugitive, who had been having a bad day, suddenly brightened up. The Buddha amulet on his chest swayed, and he thought to himself, "Buddha has shown me! I am destined for wealth and honor, and Heaven has not forsaken me!" He rushed towards the mother and child, pushed the old woman aside, and took the child hostage. The police who had been chasing him were immediately put on the defensive.
The knife, seemingly unaware of its own weight, was pressed against the child's tender neck, leaving a bloody gash. In that instant, the mother, lying on the ground, recalled her child's lifeless, cold body. Her eyes widened, and she suddenly lunged at the child like a madwoman, startling the fugitive.
The child was pushed aside, but the mother was brutally stabbed to death by the fugitive and fell into a pool of blood. A few pedestrians screamed in alarm. In the chaos, the fugitive seized the opportunity to steal a car and escape.
The police car caught up and chased him through the traffic, but the streets of Diqiu were chaotic. The young policeman, who had been working overtime for a week, couldn't help but think, "If only the east side of Chuicheng Road were impassable, then I could just block him on the left side of Qizhen Road."
As the weather grew colder, the biting wind of the night swept past speeding police cars and over the top floors of tall buildings. A male student, who was loudly lamenting his pressure and pain, threatened to jump with his life, but he still didn't dare to actually do so.
"How useless I am, I can't even die. God, you won't even help me with this? Then why did you let me be born?" As soon as this almost hateful thought crossed his mind, his body was blown about by the wind, and he fell blankly under the horrified gazes of his relatives and friends who were trying to persuade him.
Beneath him, a sea of cars flowed.
The wind howled.
With a loud "bang," the car that was hit directly collapsed, its metal frame and steel plate crumbling like paper, and all the windows shattered instantly.
The sounds of friction and honking blocked this section of the lane, like being trapped in a box of constant echoes, like a chorus of demonic noises.
The car owner's mangled flesh mingled with the wedding anniversary cake on the passenger side, dripping out from the gap in the car door.
Her husband, who harbored malicious intentions at home, is about to receive a windfall insurance payout.
With a buzzing sound from his earpiece, the young policeman received news that Chuicheng Road was closed, and finally apprehended the fugitive at the end of the road.
The thrilling night has temporarily come to an end, but there is still much work to be done in the aftermath.
The child, who had been held hostage by the fugitive, sat uneasily in the hospital, tugging at the nurse's sleeve, watching the stretchers go in and out blankly, until he saw a deformed corpse covered with a white sheet being carried in, and suddenly burst into tears.
"Mommy...Mommy's never coming back? I just...Waaah, I just didn't want to take my medicine. She came back and forced me to take it, that's why I said I didn't want to see her...I was wrong, where is Mommy? Mommy, please come back, please..."
"That was someone who was in a car accident, not your mother, okay, okay."
They were already busy, and the nurses had been trying to soothe them for so long that they were getting impatient.
Having witnessed death so often, her compassion had been worn down to numbness and was now extremely limited. Finding an excuse to leave, she handed the child over to her colleague and headed towards the nurses' station.
Seriously, I have to work overtime tonight.
She could still hear the poor child's helpless cries, which sounded sharpened by the cold white light of the corridor, becoming piercingly harsh and unlike a human voice.
She frowned in disgust, thinking, "So many people died tonight, what's with all the ghosts howling? Aren't they afraid of attracting real ghosts?" Then she thought sarcastically, "Ghosts are alright, maybe they're less troublesome than the living."
The moment the thought crossed my mind, the light above my head buzzed and went out.
In the darkness, a slender figure stood beside her, wearing the morgue's standard shroud, with long hair reaching almost to her waist, obscuring most of her face.
Through the gaps in that long hair, bulging eyes, bloodshot and slowly turning towards her.
Screams echoed down the corridor.
"Ahhhhh! Help! Someone save me, help me..."
There were more prayers and whispers in the hospital.
However, God has already departed.
For many, a heavy night takes a lifetime to resolve, but for Him, it was not even an interlude.
That was the tip of a withered, dried leaf at the very top of the giant tree, which suddenly shattered in mid-air, leaving no speck of dust.
There are even more terrifying "leaf tips"—natural disasters, man-made calamities, wars, diseases, and so on—rising one after another, turning into dust and wind.
She didn't know if this was what happened in this particular timeline, or in another abandoned timeline.
Those nodes are constantly being destroyed; they might just sprout a little bit before turning to ashes.
So from a distance, the woven threads of fate, with countless points flickering on and off, resemble a blazing flame.
He can see it all at a glance.
Everything is in His sight.
This is the complete, observable eye.
These scenes were fleeting, taken away by Him, but they still overwhelmed her. She covered her eyes and slowly squatted down.
Then I heard His noisy and indistinct voice again.
"Hmm? That thing on you..."
His ethereal smile suddenly rose, full of interest, as if he had seen something rare and interesting.
She raised her head, opened her eyes with difficulty, and saw His beautiful amber eyes staring straight at her.
She was startled.
What? On her body?
As the comic's perspective shifted to her wrist, the black hair knot suddenly twisted like a fish, contorting into the shape of two pointed eyes, and her expression changed.
That old bastard Su Huang actually hid her hair and parasitized her body!
The forum, which was originally buzzing with discussion because He turned around and had the same face as Lu Jinzhao, has now taken a completely different turn.
【Holy crap…】
What a terrifying world, it's completely in chaos.
Now I finally understand what chaos truly is; the power of this demonic dog is astounding!
More powerful than any god, more venomous than any demon...
No wonder every world that experiences a black sun's arrival ends in apocalypse.
【You dare call me a demon dog? I'm begging the gods to spare you! [kneeling]】
[God: Hmm? This is your wish? [Smile]]
【Aaaaaaah, this is so scary!】
How can someone with such an incredibly handsome face be scarier than all the ghosts in the entire series?
This is truly inhuman.
[Upstairs...press 1, Buddha forgive me]
【11111111】
【11111111】
Asking Buddha for forgiveness is useless; as for whom to ask, those who understand know the answer.
[Shut upstairs!]
[There is a real ghost in Laoqi’s house. 】
Every time I see that long list of titles on the Smoke Mirror website, I want to complain that there's no room for so many people here. But now I see, none of them were earned for nothing. I guess I was just narrow-minded. Please forgive me.
He left quietly, taking with him a plume of black smoke... Don't come back, brother, I'm scared, I'm afraid the hill will explode.
[It's okay, after Dichu blows up the Earth, it'll be gone.]
[It turns out that someone else was actually conducting nuclear explosion research.]
I'm begging you.
[Huh? You still dare to ask? (Sound of demons dancing wildly)]
[My Lord God: Prayers will be answered, they will be answered! Come, tell me your wish!]
[If anyone dares to make a wish, I won't even dare to browse the incense sticks on the Cybernetic forum next door anymore.]
[+1, I really did leave a comment. Thankfully, I know it was all Ah Tan's plan. If it were true, I could only advise him next year on Tomb Sweeping Day that it's better to die than live a miserable life.]
[Stop talking, upstairs! He wasn't dead yet, but he's really going to die soon!]
[I can't take it anymore, the poster of the Sun God worship post next door has closed the thread.]
[I've started a new thread to convince everyone to believe in science, hahaha]
[I laughed so hard I almost vomited because the main post forbids evil gods!]
[This has now become art.]
Xie Tan also checked his Cyber Commemorative Post, which was a popular post when he first appeared. Because there were always new readers, there were still occasional replies, and some old readers would slyly fawn over him. Now it has changed from "Cyber Commemorative" to "Cyber Banned".
[Is Mommy alright? Was the impact of the completed form that strong? No wonder she couldn't maintain her human form.]
[What is that devilish dog?]
[The eyes belong to someone else; they can't just do whatever they want with them.]
[After all, the main body is a large mirror. After seeing so many, you'll know what makes a human look good, right? Just sculpt it with mist (?)]
[She's quite vain, kind of cute.]
[I'm punishing you by making you watch the previous parts again to awaken your fear.]
[Mommy guesses that the current time is before He lost His eyes, so this incomplete state is like an accidental Bluetooth connection to the complete state?]
[The devil dog's words were quite subtle. He knew that the power of her eyes came from him, which is why he said, "I forgot, this eye of yours..." He inadvertently revealed his perspective to her.]
[After all, it ignores the timeline.]
[Then it couldn't have been an accident; the devilish dog did it on purpose. Was it a threat?]
The word "threat" doesn't exist for Him, because there's no need for it.
[Only I care about the ability to summon demon dogs... Doesn't that mean I can see the ending of the entire story at a glance?! Can you give me a spoiler, God? This is my wish!]
[Holy crap, the patriarch even left marks on Mommy! I've never seen anything so underhanded!]
[Oh my god, the Mirror God suddenly looked over and said something that scared me to death! I got goosebumps!]
Wait a minute, I have an idea!
Because Mommy didn't become the complete state, a new incomplete state, the Eye of Observation, was born after Mommy's death, right? This suggests that the development of the world line itself may be constantly moving towards "reconciliation after a breakup".
But why are there two? That doesn't make sense. There's only one "Multitude of Tongues" and one "Clock Hands," so only one can be refined for ascension.
The patriarch and Ah Tan, one of them was an accident.
With the curse of the Demon Mother preceding it, the "flaw" that "bears her flaw" is the eye of observation of the incomplete state, which is obviously orthodox.
Therefore, I have always believed that the head of the family was an "accident" caused by our own efforts, after all, he was not the last batch of sacrifices.
But if the head of the family had seen the Mirror God with eyes through his mother, wouldn't that mean there was both cause and effect, and it was also before the curse of the Ghost Mother!
Ah Tan might be the unexpected eye of observation!
[Damn, that makes sense! The devilish dog was probably doing that to the head of the household on purpose!]
[Most likely, He's looking at this with amusement on his face, isn't he just stirring up trouble? He truly lives up to his name, Smoke Mirror...so wicked!]
It turns out that the "one on you" that the Mirror God was referring to was the head of the household.
Xie Tan looked at the panel that contained those words; it occupied a very large portion of the page and was a close-up.
Lu Jinzhao's incomparably handsome face was incredibly clear, his eyes staring straight at the camera with a magical, terrifying attraction, like the sun itself.
It's like making eye contact with someone outside the camera's view.
Upon seeing this, Xie Tan's heart skipped a beat, as if he had been discovered to be the one hiding behind him.
Seriously.
You're overthinking it.
