The sky split open, and a purple liquid poured down; countless eyes sprouted from the ground; people melted away one by one... 0
 
Suddenly, I heard Lin Xiaoyu's voice: 0
"Xu Rong, don't be afraid. Your eyes can not only open the 'door' but also close it..." 0
 
I closed my eyes, feeling the heat radiating from my right eye. 0
When I opened my eyes again, I saw ghost standing all around the altar. 0
They were all victims turned into "Lychees," now holding hands to form a glowing circle. 0
"Let’s begin," Chen Ming raised his dagger, "let us welcome the arrival of the new world..." 0
 
At the moment Chen Ming lifted the dagger, a dazzling golden light erupted from my right eye. 0
A powerful energy surged from the depths of my eye, and I felt my consciousness being pulled into a strange space. 0
Here, time seemed to stand still. 0
I saw countless golden threads extending from my right eye, connecting to each "Lychee" on the altar. 0
These threads were the energy channels sustaining the ritual. 0
"Cut them off..." 0
An ancient voice echoed in my mind, "This is the ability of the 'Gatekeeper'..." 0
 
I reached out my hand, and those golden threads trembled like strings on a musical instrument at my fingertips. 0
With my will, one by one, the threads snapped. 0
With each thread that broke, a "Lychee" burst apart, and its Eyeball dissipated into blue smoke. 0
"No!" 0
Chen Ming's voice was filled with terror, "You can't do this!" 0
 
I opened my eyes to see Chen Ming wildly swinging his dagger in an attempt to stop me. 0
But Lin Xiaoyu and the other ghost had already surrounded him. 0
Their bodies emitted a brilliant white light, forming a cage that trapped Chen Ming within. 0
 
 
"Xu Rong, hurry!" Lin Xiaoyu shouted, "Now's our chance!" 0
 
My right eye felt increasingly hot, filled with a golden light. I could see the outline of the "door," slowly closing. But Chen Ming was still struggling, his right eye glowing with an eerie red light as he tried to maintain the ritual. 0
 
Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyu made a shocking decision. She transformed into a beam of white light and rushed directly into Chen Ming's body. He let out a terrible scream as his right eye exploded, black liquid gushing out. 0
 
"Xu Rong, remember..." Lin Xiaoyu's voice echoed in my mind. "Your eyes are not only the key to the 'door' but also the barrier protecting both worlds..." 0
 
Her voice grew weaker until it transformed into a white light that entered my right eye. I felt a warm energy flowing at the bottom of my eye, and the golden light in my vision became even brighter. 0
 
Taking advantage of the moment, Chen Ming broke free from ghost's grasp, clutching his bleeding eye socket as he staggered backward. "You will regret this..." he gritted through his teeth. "The 'door' will open sooner or later, and when it does..." 0
 
Before he could finish his words, he turned into a cloud of black mist and vanished. One by one, the Crystal Bowls on the altar shattered, and the entire basement began to collapse. 0
 
I stumbled out of the basement as the building behind me crumbled with a deafening roar. When I reached safety, I realized my right eye no longer hurt; instead, it felt strangely invigorated. 0
 
I closed my eyes and could clearly sense Lin Xiaoyu's presence. Her soul had merged with my right eye, granting me greater power. Now, I could not only see ghost but also communicate with them and even borrow their strength. 0
 
But I knew this was far from over. 0
