Terror is resurging, but only I am.

Chapter 91 Three Magical Treasures, Unlocking the Trial of the Evil Eye

Mirror?

Could it be that the key thing that can target the "evil eye" of that wish-granting demon is actually a mirror that can be found everywhere in everyday life?
Yan Ming subconsciously felt that this was somewhat ridiculous, but upon closer reflection, it all made perfect sense.

It's perfectly normal to not be able to see your own reflection with only one eye.

For a ghost with self-awareness, being unable to see itself could lead it into "nihilism," meaning it would be unable to observe itself or confirm its own existence.

Only with the help of a mirror can it be done.

But what you see in a mirror is just a reflection, not the real image.

The image can be changed.

Therefore, the only weakness of the Wish Demon's "Evil Eye" lies here.

Thinking of this, Yan Ming couldn't help but recall the previous night.

In that hospital, taking advantage of the "home field advantage" of the person in the mirror, he used the ability of the spy ghost to kill Dr. Zhang.

Within the double mirror of infinite reflection, the Spying Ghost's power reached its peak, instantly annihilating Dr. Zhang.

At that time, he vaguely realized that the mirror image seemed to be the best helper for the spy.

He merely borrowed the person in the mirror; he didn't use any special ghosts or spirits to achieve such an effect.

However, he was now told that this mirror ghost might actually be the nemesis of the wish ghost's "evil eye".

Yan Ming felt that everything before him made inexplicable sense.

"That's all I can tell you. Once you're ready, you can try pressing this ghost eye into the crevice of your forehead, letting it take the main position. Then you'll know what to do." Old Jiang gave his final instructions. Up to this point, he really had nothing more to say.

After all, no one had ever used this ghost eye before, so he could only learn a little from the experiences of those three "pioneers".

It's a pity that neither of the two successful pioneers were on their side, but the one who died was on their side.

The two successful individuals were unwilling to reveal too much information, so Old Jiang could only offer Yan Ming as many reminders as possible.

"I see."

Yan Ming held the small black box in his hand and then noticed that the box was covered in sweat.

Before he knew it, his sweaty hands had soaked the surface of the box.

"But don't worry, I have some good things to help you." Old Jiang smiled and took out two or three boxes from the warehouse, listing them off as if they were his most treasured possessions.

"These things were brought out by previous players from the weird game. They can work on anyone, and they have a positive effect."

Old Jiang opened all three boxes one by one, and inside lay a fruit, a bottle of black liquid, and a vine, respectively.

The fruit's shape was somewhat like a green starfruit, but once the box was opened, the starfruit quickly ripened and turned into a yellow fruit.

“We’re not sure what the fruit’s real name is, but it was brought back from a very special game scene called Haicheng, so we call it Haiguo (Sea Fruit).” Old Jiang handed it to Yan Ming. “Eat it quickly, you only have one minute to eat it after it comes into contact with fresh air.”

Yan Ming nodded. He smelled a very peculiar fragrance from the sea fruit, which was refreshing and pleasant.

Trusting Master Jiang, he swallowed it without hesitation.

It melted in his mouth, and a burst of cloyingly sweet juice flowed through his limbs. Yan Ming felt as if his body had become stronger, and his cardiopulmonary function had become more robust.

"This fruit can strengthen your body, enhance your internal organs, and enable you to hold your breath for at least an hour. It can help you explore some underwater areas, but you can only eat it once. After that, it will have no effect."

Old Jiang explained, his expression seemingly nostalgic for the past: "Haicheng was a game area that appeared more than 20 years ago. Players who successfully evacuated brought back a lot of these fruits. They used these fruits to trade with other players, so almost all the players from that batch back then had eaten Haiguo."

"Unfortunately, this kind of fruit cannot be grown in the real world, and the number of sea fruits will only decrease. At this moment, there are not many left." Yan Ming nodded. The effects of this sea fruit are not particularly miraculous, but it has the advantage of almost no side effects, and it is also a very rare fruit now.

After all, Haicheng has been captured, which means it has become a ghost town that no one cares about.

Normal players can't get in. If Yan Ming wants to get in, he'd have to find the ghost that contains the ghost realm of Haicheng within him.

Then, Master Jiang explained the functions of the remaining two items to him.

The black liquid requires you to soak your hands in it, and after half an hour you will gain the ability to "touch shadows".

However, "touching the shadow" is a two-way street, and it may not be entirely a good thing.

Of course, after the transformation is complete, this hand will also have a special ability: it can peel off the shadow under the main body's feet and then give it a push to escape.

In the perception of ghosts, the shadow under a person's feet is also the human being, with no difference. Therefore, after they are separated, ghosts are likely to chase after the human's shadow.

It's similar to cutting off one's tail to survive, but the bad news is that if the shadow can't come back, then Yan Ming will have no shadow anymore and will no longer be able to use this ability.

However, Yan Ming himself was not worried, because he had thought of a combination technique.

There can be many shadows at his feet.

For example, images like those of a ghost nurse.

They existed beneath his feet as shadows, and Yan Ming would never hesitate to use them as a means of survival.

This is a life-saving ability, and the "touching shadow" ability...

Perhaps we can do something else.

As for the last vine, Elder Jiang placed it directly on Yan Ming's head, and it obediently burrowed into the skull, merging with Yan Ming.

Next, if Yan Ming so desires, this vine will grow from the top of his head, and a hammer at the end will emit light.

The hammer is called the "Eternal Illumination Body," which can permanently illuminate an area, even a completely dark area affected by other ghosts.

Furthermore, the vines can extend to a distance of about one meter, which is enough for Yan Ming to illuminate the surroundings at will.

It's just that it doesn't look very good. Yan Ming always felt that after the vines stretched out, he looked like a scad from the deep sea, also known as a lanternfish.

However, there's no problem, because these vines can serve as a readily available light source and can adjust their position on their own, making them perfect for unleashing a "light-speed flying kick" combo with the nurse ghost.

"That's all I can give you. Our department's foundation is not as strong as it used to be."

Old Jiang sighed, opened the warehouse door, and left with Yan Ming.

“These things are very useful, and I will not let Elder Jiang down.” Yan Ming nodded repeatedly, as these three items could play a significant role in Wangcheng.

With these, he felt much more confident after returning to Wangcheng.

"Well, if you'd like, you can try using this Ghost Eye next."

Old Jiang continued, "Don't worry, it's absolutely safe here. I will help protect your personal safety."

Yan Ming opened the box in his hand. Inside was a dull gray eyeball, far less lively and alert than the ghost eye that Li Yan had given him.

but……

Even more evil.
