"Don't trust him..." A girl's voice echoed in my mind. "They are looking for a new 'vessel'..."
Chen Ming seemed to sense something; he turned to glance behind him, though there was nothing there.
"It seems your abilities are even stronger than we imagined," he said. "This only reinforces my point. Join us, or else..." He left the threat hanging in the air, its meaning clear.
I shut the door and slid down to the floor, leaning against it. My right eye throbbed painfully, and my vision was filled with horrific images: Chen Ming's face melting away, blood seeping from the walls, countless corpses hanging from the ceiling...
Suddenly, all the illusions vanished. I found myself standing in a strange room filled with glass jars. It was Grandma's basement, but it looked like it did twenty years ago.
A young girl was tied to a chair, a tear mole at the corner of her right eye. Grandma held a pair of scissors, her face twisted into a mad smile.
But this time, I noticed more details: there were others in the room, all wearing sunglasses, their right eye sockets glowing faintly.
"They are searching for special eyes..." The girl's voice resonated in my mind again. "To complete some kind of ritual... Your eyes are what they have been looking for..."
The vision abruptly cut off, and I realized I was still sitting at my front door. But this time, my right eye no longer hurt; instead, it felt strangely powerful, as if I could see through walls and into every corner of the building.
I realized my abilities were evolving. Whether this was a blessing or a curse, I still didn't know.
Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet.
My name is Xu Rong, and I used to be an ordinary office worker. But now, my life has completely derailed. Ever since that incident, my right eye has become unusually sensitive. At first, I could only see some blurry shadows, but gradually I began to make out the figures of the ghost. Now, I can even hear their voices.
"Xu Rong..."
Late at night, as I was sorting through the clues I had gathered over this time, I suddenly heard a familiar voice. It was the girl with a tear mole at the corner of her eye; her name is Lin Xiaoyu, the first ghost who sought my help.
"They have found a new 'vessel.'"
Lin Xiaoyu's voice was soft, as if coming from a great distance. "It's at the Abandoned Hospital in the west of the city..."
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my right eye, and an image appeared before me: a group of people wearing sunglasses were moving glass jars, each containing a glowing eyeball. The scene shifted, and I saw a young girl bound to an operating table; her eyes were special, with rare purple pupils.
"You must stop them," Lin Xiaoyu said. "Otherwise, more people will suffer..."
I grabbed my coat and rushed out of the house. The streets were deserted in the dead of night, and my right eye emitted a faint red glow in the darkness. I could feel a powerful energy wave emanating from the direction of the Abandoned Hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital, I found it had been transformed into a secret laboratory. The hallway was lined with glass jars, each containing a floating glowing eyeball. My right eye began to throb painfully as horrifying images flooded my vision: blood was flowing from the walls, corpses hung from the ceiling, and maggots crawled across the floor...
