Star Trace Gate

Since becoming a supernatural being, the Little Bad King has been traveling to S+ secret realms and has seen too many strange and bizarre rules. Therefore, he has developed a strong resistance to the "sinister calculations" of the Heavenly Dao, the various foreshadowings buried during evolution, and misleading clues.

Since the Heavenly Dao did not explicitly state the specific number of people with supernatural powers who could enter this secret realm, he had to treat it as if there were people and powerful competitors, and he must not take it lightly.

After preparing himself mentally, he stepped into the living room and continued to sense the woman serving the porridge.

Divine perception is like air, omnipresent. However, for some ordinary first- or second-grade users, their divine perception is too weak, just like a flickering candle that may illuminate a corner of the room but cannot light up the main hall.

Therefore, at this stage, even if the person with supernatural powers uses all his strength to emit spiritual perception to explore the surrounding environment, it will still appear blurry, unclear, and difficult to perceive.

But after entering the third level, the perception of the mind will undergo a huge change. In some cases, it will be clearer and more accurate than the feedback from the five senses. It can also look into the body and capture the subtle changes in the rules of heaven and earth.

This is why, when people with high-level supernatural powers fight, the role of capturing with divine thoughts is far greater than that of the five senses.

Ren Ye stood in the living room. Although he could not observe with his eyes, he could clearly perceive the woman's appearance and the living room environment when he emitted his spiritual thoughts. They were like a clear picture scroll, slowly emerging in the mind of the Little Bad King.

The woman looked to be around thirty-two or thirty-three years old, with a very tall and well-proportioned figure, delicate features, and a beautiful appearance. Her personal temperament exuded a lazy and casual elegance.

She was wearing a Taoist robe that had been washed so much that it looked white, and her round feet were wearing cloth shoes. Her every move exuded the youthful whiteness of a young woman, as well as the charming grace of a mature woman.

Ren Ye stood there quietly, thinking to himself, "She is my... aunt?!"

A message-like memory slowly "woken up" in his mind.

Ren also instinctively "remembered" that the woman in front of him was named Tian Wei, and was his aunt and niece.

After arriving in Xuwang Village, he and Aunt Tianwei depended on each other for life.

It was she who raised me, taught me to read and write, and gradually helped me adapt to the "rules" here.

The aunt and niece are each other's only relatives in the world.

Therefore, when Ren Ye sensed her, he instinctively developed a sense of closeness, dependence, and respect for her.

It is very difficult for a woman with a child to survive in this place with extremely barbaric rules. In addition, Ren Ye "himself" is ill and needs to take long-term medication, so the aunt and nephew live a very poor life, even worse than ordinary "wild dogs".

Aunt Tianwei also has her own job. She works as a fire controller in the Yin family pharmacy, a wealthy family in Xuwang Village. She is mainly responsible for controlling the fire after the elixir furnace is sealed. The work is boring and extremely hard, but fortunately the income is decent.

The Yin family pharmacy would seal the furnace and light the fire on time at the beginning of the Xu hour every night, so the fire controller would work at night, but the time of leaving get off work was not fixed. It depended on what kind of elixir was being refined and how long it would take. Sometimes she would come back in the middle of the night, and sometimes she would have to wait until dawn.

Aunt Tianwei has a quiet personality and is usually taciturn, but she takes care of herself meticulously.

She has obsessive-compulsive disorder and likes to look decent, but because her life has been very difficult in recent years, she has not made a new piece of clothing since she and Ren Ye came to Xuwang Village.

She had a set of luxurious dresses that she had kept for who knows how many years, and she had never been willing to wear them. She just kept them in the closet, and only took them out to show off when she was in a good mood.

Oh, she is a bit like the beloved concubine, very greedy and loves food. Every time she gets paid, she will buy some not-too-expensive ingredients, cook a table of exquisite meals, and have a drink with Ren Ye, celebrating a little bit capriciously, but the two of them didn't have much conversation throughout the whole process, just enjoying the cozy moment warmly.

Ren Ye stood in the small living room, and in just a moment of distraction, he digested this very concise "memory".

He walked towards the dining table and said with a smile, "Aunt, you came back a little late today."

Aunt Tianwei slowly served the porridge and wiped the porridge juice on the edge of the bowl with a clean rag. Then she slowly walked over and placed the porridge on the table.

As if she had obsessive-compulsive disorder, she adjusted her own tattered chair perfectly straight, then said with a slightly tired look, "Business at the Yin family pharmacy is booming. We have to refine two more furnaces of pills every night. I'm afraid I won't be back until dawn. But the wages have also been increased, which is very reasonable."

"Oh."

Ren Ye sat on the chair, his mind also active. He thought to himself: "Since I have my aunt's words, why bother investigating?! Can't I just ask her directly? What's my name, who am I, where am I from? Where are my eyes? Can't I pick them up?!"

"Eat quickly, it will get cold soon." The beautiful Aunt Tianwei supported her chin with her hand and reminded softly.

In the end, Ren didn't ask any random questions, because he felt that the Heavenly Dao wasn't so stupid as to not even consider this kind of BUG. If he asked randomly and violated the rules, it wouldn't be worth it to suffer a small punishment.

He listened to his aunt, picked up the porridge bowl, and picked up the two boiled eggs that she had prepared for him. He smiled and said, "Aunt, you eat too!"

"There are only two eggs at home, and the only rice left for making porridge is the one you eat." Aunt Tianwei was obviously an elegant and slow-tempered person. Even when she said such sad words, there was a calm expression on her beautiful face.

Ren Ye had also met such a strange woman when she was in college. If you asked her to go to the movies at 5 o'clock, she would not come downstairs until at least 4:40, and she would walk with her butt twisted and her bag slung over her shoulder. Her steps were very charming and neither hurried nor slow. As a result, she and that strange woman had never watched a complete movie. They would only arrive at the theater after the beginning of the movie was over.

When this kind of extraordinary woman walks on the street, even if the end of the world has come three meters behind her and the sky is falling and the earth is collapsing, she will not walk faster, but will only take small steps and walk with the end of the world.

It was obvious that Aunt Tianwei was this kind of extraordinary woman, possessing the elegance of being able to remain calm even when the sky was falling.

She held her chin and whispered, "I ate at the Yin family pharmacy at dawn. After you get off work tonight, if you pass by the farmers' market, go to the An family shop and get two kilograms of eggs, fifty kilograms of rice, and some meat and vegetables. You don't have to pay Xingyuan. I've already talked to her wife about it. I'll give her the money when she gets paid this month."

"Oh, right. This month, we spent a few extra Star Wishes repairing the roof. My wages aren't enough to buy you medicine. You have to make up for the shortfall from your wages, and you can spend the rest on your own."

She spoke calmly but clearly, and it was obvious that the younger sister-in-law had always been at the helm of the family.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ren also heard the reminder from the Heavenly Dao.

You've lost your eyes, and now you're suffering from a very strange disease. Every seven days, your blood vessels stagnate, and your body becomes frozen, gradually losing consciousness until death. The only cure is to obtain a medicine every seven days. Taking it grants you the right to live another seven days. There's no other way. This is also the fundamental reason why you and Aunt Tianwei live in such poverty...!

[Seven-Day Death Rule: If you don't take the medicine after seven days, you will die, even gods cannot save you. Once you find your eyes, you can break this rule.]

[Message from the Heavenly Dao: You are not only a stray dog, but also a useless burden... How about you just die?!]

After hearing this, Ren Ye's brain buzzed and he cursed inwardly, "Fuck you...! *&(*()! Is this a Heavenly Grace-level secret realm assignment?! Not only did you blind me, but you also gave me ALS?! You really don't give me any chance of survival?"

He looked at the bowl of porridge angrily, turned his head back and drank it in one gulp.

This is not because he is selfish, but because in his memory, he has never been polite with his aunt, and both sides rarely say any nonsense about pushing and giving in. If she said to eat, then he would eat it himself.

After finishing the porridge, Ren Ye stuffed two more eggs into his mouth: "Okay, when I come back in the evening, I will go to the An family shop to get food."

"Okay, I'm a little tired. I'm going to sleep for a while."

Aunt Tianwei didn't say much, she just stood up and ran to the room on the left side of the living room.

The rooms of the aunt and nephew are only 11 or 12 square meters and are facing each other. The living room and kitchen are also only 11 or 12 square meters, but there is no toilet, so they have to go outside.

This was simply unbearable for my aunt, who suffered from mysophobia. So every time she went to the bathroom, she would mentally prepare herself for it for a long time and would say to Ren Ye, "You can make a name for yourself here!! I don't ask you to support me in my old age, but I really hope to have my own bathroom as soon as possible. I really dream about it..."

After finishing his breakfast, Ren Ye walked towards the clothes hanging area in the living room, ready to change into the prison guard's uniform.

"Oh, by the way, when you came back yesterday, there were bloodstains on your jailer's uniform. I've told you many times that clothes are a person's face. No matter what time or what you wear, they must be clean and decent." Aunt Tianwei turned around and said softly, "I washed your uniform before you went to work last night. Be careful next time."

"Okay, aunt." Ren nodded with a smile.

"Boom!"

Aunt Tianwei didn't say anything more, she just went back to her room and locked the door tightly.

Ren Ye touched the wall, pulled off his clean and tidy jailer uniform, and picked up a sheathed black knife, a bunch of keys, and a booklet hanging on the wall.

The knife is his weapon, the key is the key to the dungeon of the Illusion Village, and the booklet is something he carries with him and records.

Ren Ye returned to the room and carefully felt the contents of the booklet, but found that there was only one page of content on it, and it was all recorded yesterday, mainly some things he needed to buy in the next week.

In addition to some medicinal herbs that I need to take, there are also some delicious foods, such as roasted pigeon from Sunjia Tianfulou, Tianfu steamed fish, rice cakes from Sixiangzhai, and 30-year-old wine from Taojia Distillery.

"I rely on!"

Ren Ye sensed this "shopping list" and cursed himself: "Brother, you are such a loser? Do you still eat so much?! If I were you, I would really commit suicide...!"

“That’s not right…!”

"I am you now!"

"Forget it, it's better to live than to die."

After muttering a few hypocritical words in his heart, Ren hung the black knife on his waist, put on a black police uniform with the word "prison" embroidered on it, and then walked out of the house carefully.

……

Xuwang Village is very large, as big as a normal town, with a population of over 100,000. It looks very prosperous, but it is a very closed area.

In Ren Ye's memory, it was extremely difficult for people here to go out. Even if they wanted to leave forcibly, they would have to pay a lot of price, and even have to rely on the help of the four major families in Xuwang Village.

There is no secret realm in the illusory village, and those with supernatural powers cannot improve themselves by traveling in the secret realm. This situation is equivalent to cutting off the path to heaven and enlightenment for those with supernatural powers.

However, there is also a very extreme rule here, that is, as long as one is a human being, even a creature of another race, he or she can enjoy very fair "education resources". There are no privileges, no mutual examinations, no special classes that require social connections, and no sects that guard their inheritance for fear that their own magical methods will leak out. Everyone is treated equally.
