"No," I felt the newly acquired power surging within me, "this is repairing the boundaries..."
My Right Eye burst forth with a dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire basement.
In the glow, I saw Lin Xiaoyu's figure slowly rising, her soul separating from my eye.
"Goodbye, Xu Rong," her voice was filled with tenderness, "my mission is complete..."
As she departed, I felt the power of my Right Eye peak. A massive golden beam shot into the sky, mending the shattered boundaries.
Chen Ming and the One-Eyed Men let out their final screams, dissipating into black smoke.
When the light faded, I found myself standing on the city streets. The sky had returned to normal, but I knew this was only a temporary calm. The boundaries between the two worlds remained fragile, and my eye was still the key to guarding it all.
Life returned to tranquility.
Four months later, on an ordinary late night, I was walking home after finishing work. The streets were deserted, and the streetlights cast a hazy yellow glow through the mist.
Suddenly, I caught a whiff of a familiar sweet fragrance. My heart skipped a beat.
Turning the corner, I saw that hunched figure.
Dressed in a gray cloth shirt, with a bamboo basket and a pile of glaringly red lychees. It was that Grandma; she had returned.
"Young man, buy some lychees; they were just picked," her voice was still hoarse, but her gaze was hollow as if she had never seen me before.
My Right Eye suddenly throbbed with pain, but this time there were no strange phenomena.
Since that incident, my abilities have been gradually diminishing. Now, I can hardly tell whether the figure before me, Grandma, is human or ghost.
"How much per pound?" I heard myself ask, my voice trembling slightly.
"Ten yuan, very cheap," Grandma replied mechanically, her movements stiff as she packed a bag of Lychee.
I took the bag from her, my fingers brushing against her skin, which felt icy and bone-chilling.
Back home, I placed the Lychee on the coffee table and stared at them blankly. My right eye began to throb again; ever since my abilities faded away, I had started suffering from insomnia. Each night, I could hear faint cries but could never locate their source.
I picked up a Lychee and gently peeled back its skin. The familiar metallic scent hit me like a wave, and my hands began to tremble. The flesh remained eerily translucent, but this time, I saw something far more terrifying—a golden pupil of an eyeball spinning within.
It was my eye.
Shaking, I pried open the flesh, and the eyeball rolled onto the coffee table. It stared at me unblinkingly, its pupil contracting and expanding. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my right eye, and my vision began to distort.
I found myself standing before a massive archway—a "door" leading to another world. The frame was riddled with cracks, and a purple light seeped through the fissures. Countless eerie hands reached out from behind the door, trying to grasp something.
"The boundary is collapsing..." A familiar voice echoed in my ear; it was Lin Xiaoyu. "You must reclaim your eye..."
The sharp pain jolted me awake from my hallucination. The eyeball on the coffee table was still there, its runes in the pupil flickering with a faint glow.
I touched my right eye; it was still intact, but it had lost all its special abilities.
Suddenly, I noticed something moving inside the lychee bag. I opened the bag and found all the lychees gently undulating, as if they were breathing.
Trembling, I peeled open another one, revealing yet another golden eye inside.
