Terror is resurging, but only I am.

Chapter 90 The only weakness of the Evil Eye.

Eye of the Trench.

Looking at the aerial view from the sky, Yan Ming felt an instinctive, soul-crushing fear.

It was as if he were staring directly at the body of a demon god.

There is more than one related photo, which provides a series of bird's-eye views, allowing you to experience the dynamics of this eye firsthand.

The enormous eye lurking deep in the trench, its size perhaps comparable to that of a city, remained hidden in the dark depths of the sea, nimbly rotating as if searching for something.

In the last photo, the eye is staring directly at the camera.

Looking at the photo, Yan Ming felt as if he were staring at the spying ghost from back then, its gaze piercing through time and space, pointing straight to the depths of his soul.

It's chilling, and you can't help but feel a chill.

Such an incredibly realistic photograph is enough to drive anyone with thalassophobia or megalophobia crazy.

Yan Ming naturally understood the meaning behind the photo.

Ocean trenches are fissures on the Earth's surface, where voyeurs lurk, peering into the sky. Satellites above observe these voyeurs, thus violating the taboos associated with them.

It's a very simple rule. Yan Ming had known about the rules and taboos of the Spying Ghost for a long time, but when applied to this situation, anyone would feel a sense of despair and powerlessness.

Should I fight this spying ghost?
A classic meme involuntarily popped into Yan Ming's mind.

He knew that the peeping ghost that evolved into a wish-granting ghost did not simply grow larger, nor did it transform from a child's body into a deep-sea behemoth.

On the contrary, this is because the Spying Ghost becomes somewhat "unruly" as its ability limit increases.

After growing into a wish-granting ghost, some of the concepts within the rules of this spying ghost were extended.

Ocean trenches are also considered fissures, and satellite observations are also exploring their traces, falling within the scope of rules.

Speaking of which, the blindfolded ghost seems to be the same.

It obscures the eye of heaven, thus enabling it to distort reality on a massive scale.

Could it be that the commonality among the wish-granting spirits is that rules can influence nature?

Or it could be described as anthropomorphizing nature and making it a subject of its own rules.

Yan Ming knew that most ghosts used their abilities on humans or other ghosts, because only humans and ghosts could violate their taboos.

Take the voyeur for example. It hides in the shadows and spyes on a water glass, then insists that the glass rotated. This is considered "investigating" its own tracks, thus violating a taboo...

Doesn't it feel like you're forcibly interpreting the rules?

Since you're being so unreasonable, you might as well take my life.

However, Yan Ming felt that the level of Wish Ghost was just so unreasonable.

The concept of those rules gradually became generalized, and when extended, it gave off a feeling of doing whatever one wanted and being the only one who mattered.

Yes, I am the only one who matters.

The Spying Ghost is merely a user of the rules, but the Wish Ghost, at its level, has become a rule maker.

So, by obtaining this demon eye, I can suddenly gain the power of a wish-granting demon? It can't be that simple, right?

"This is the first time we've explored this Wish Demon in the real world. We don't know its name, but we can guess from its abilities that it used to be a Spying Demon. We call it 'Evil Eye'."

Old Jiang took out a small box from the filthy gold box, which seemed to be the container for holding the wish-granting ghost eye.

Judging from the surface, Yan Ming felt that the alloy ratio in this filthy gold box was different, and it seemed to have a stronger ability to suppress ghosts.

"It can appear in reality? I remember you just said that you dismantled it in a weird game." Yan Ming thought of this question.

Old Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, that must have been a strange and difficult game. The game's escape point was located at sea in reality. So the evil eye used the moment the escape point was activated to transmit its power to reality and opened its eyes deep in the trench."

He sighed: "At the time, a satellite happened to observe this phenomenon, thus violating the taboo of the evil eye and helping it consolidate its power on the side of reality."

"The battle to repel the Evil Eye lasted a long time. No, it couldn't even be called a battle. It was just a group of survivors using their lives to deplete the Evil Eye's power."

"Because the evacuation point was closed, the power of the Evil Eye was not inexhaustible. Therefore, after exhausting its remaining power in real life, it could only retreat back into the world of the eerie game. But before leaving, it cursed all the survivors present."

"That led to the battle against the Evil Eye. Fortunately, we found the Evil Eye's only weakness, successfully decomposed its power, and brought the Evil Eye's origin, the Demon Eye, into reality."

After telling the story of the "evil eye" of the wish-granting ghost, Old Jiang solemnly handed the ghost eye to Yan Ming: "What I have said is not nonsense. You must remember these things because you must think of a way to suppress the ghost eye in a limited time, otherwise you will only become a slave to the ghost eye."

Limited time?
Yan Ming realized something. Could it be that he would have to conquer the evil eye himself before he could be considered to have conquered the components of this wish-ghost?
"How did you find the weakness of the Evil Eye?" he quickly asked Elder Jiang.

Fortunately, there was someone like Elder Jiang, who was practically an information bank. If he had used the Ghost Eye of the Wish Demon without knowing anything, he would most likely have died.

Although three people had previously used similar wish-ghost components, and two of them succeeded, Yan Ming didn't think the probability of two-thirds was very high.

After all, normal people wouldn't dare to try such a thing. Those three people must be exceptional individuals, and even with thorough preparation, some people still couldn't do it.

"The Ghost of Gap's abilities all lie in its ghost eyes, you should understand that, and the only weakness of the ghost eyes is related to the 'eyes'."

Old Jiang said slowly, "Do you know what the only thing that can limit 'eyes' is?"

Yan Ming: "???"

How am I supposed to know? Tell me quickly!

Fortunately, Master Jiang didn't keep us in suspense. He said directly, "The only thing the eye can't see is itself, and that's precisely its weakness."

Yan Ming pondered the sentence in his heart, and he could roughly understand its meaning.

The horizontal field of vision of a single human eye is approximately a 160-degree fan shape, but even at 360 degrees, it is impossible to see the eye itself.

"However, there is a way for the eyes to see themselves," Old Jiang said with a smile.

Yan Ming definitely wanted an answer to this question: "A mirror, just look in the mirror."

“That’s right, so to some extent, the Mirror Ghost can restrain the Spying Ghost.” Old Jiang was very satisfied with Yan Ming’s reaction speed.

"Mirror?"

Yan Ming pondered those words, while Elder Jiang continued speaking.

"Only a mirror can make it doubt itself."
