Chapter 56 Specter's Attack

Ren Ye scoffed inwardly and asked Old Yi in a confused manner, "What did you say? I can't see anything."

Old Yi stopped speaking before raising his hoarse voice, "Follow what I tell you."

Ren Ye nodded his head and raised his head to squint in the direction Old Yi pointed, he didn't see anything at all but a lingering sensation of wrenches continue to plague his consciousness.

The dark energy was making his eyes droop subconsciously and he had the urge to yawn all of a sudden, a loud voice broke him out of his dreary state.

"Stay focused and don't lose control, it is draining your energy slowly."

Ren Ye turned his head to talk to Ma Zheng calmly, "Are there any toilets here?"

"…"

Ma Zheng casually nodded his head and gestured to the assistant to guide him to the bathroom, the lady in waiting guided him to his location. As he go further and further away from the bathroom, the dark energy began to slowly run out.

"It appears to affect the certain areas," Ren Ye deducted carefully, using his analysis, "I can see why I was getting pretty tired at first, it was draining and expanding slowly."

"I can subconsciously feel the energy expanding when I leave its zone although it was almost unnoticeable at first."

Old Yi slowly emerged from his body and nodded his head casually, he curled his lips into a smirk, "Smart."

Old Yi was dressed in ancient robes yet again, a traditional costume from his Universe. He specifically wanted to wear this to appreciate the nostalgia his past bought him.

He was dressed in red and black robes, with a long robe wrapped around his torso as he attached strange-looking binoculars to the side of his waist.

He took out the binoculars skillfully and added in a cheery tone, "You kid is glad I am closely bound to you because we share the same body. I benefit from you and you benefit from me."

He flipped the binoculars a couple of time and joked playfully, "These binoculars are C-tier artifact that was forged from the characteristic of the Fourth Eyes."

Seventh Eyes wasn't the only vision a person could possess as it belonged to a category of perception. There were five types of eye assistance and technique.

Seventh Eyes allows one to see the entire universe and across the galaxies, possessing unlimited knowledge from all sources.

Sixth Eyes allows one to see the underworld and hear sounds one should not hear whatsoever, with it being able to corrupt one's mind if one does not know to balance it.

Fifth Eyes allows one to see specters, high-level Spirits, and vengeful fallen angels, thus, attracting unwanted attention from high-level enemies.

Fourth Eyes allows one to see roaming harmless souls, wandering the earth unseen, as well as low-level specters. It was harmless and peaceful except you might get your energy drained by a bunch of low-level wraiths, but the chances of you dying were close to zero.

Third Eyes allows one to read and see through a human's emotional state, internal body, and health by a single glance. This technique is the most common and straightforward technique to learn.

Ren Ye has yet to learn any of it yet. This was the first time he has come into contact with vision techniques, he was rather fascinated.

Hopefully, I will be able to learn one of the skills by myself. May be of use in case I face these types of problems in the future.

Old Yi didn't hesitate to throw it toward Ren Ye, who managed to catch them in time, he curled his lips and let out a chuckle loudly, "Get used to dealing stuff on your own now, wear the binoculars when you feel intense energy surrounding."

Ren Ye gripped the binoculars tightly and nodded his head, "You seem a bit distanced lately."

"I haven't been feeling well since you made those charms, it is my problem for being too weak in my current state," Old Yi chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"I will return to my old self once my power stabilized."

Old Yi hasn't been in the best state lately, he has been quiet and reserved. Ren Ye sensed Old Yi hasn't been doing well, he slightly regretted making charms.

"You don't have to worry about me. Once you power up and complete your mission, I may be able to speed up my healing process."

Old Yi assured Ren Ye in a calm tone, Ren Ye nodded his head.

"Rest assured. After I am done with this, you will be able to go back to your original state."

Old Yi patted Ren Ye on the shoulder and disappeared from his sight, Ren Ye raised his head and peeped outside the bathroom door, noticing the assistant has left.

Ren Ye didn't rush to equip himself with binoculars, he carefully put them back into his inventory. He also didn't rush to find the shadow, he'd rather let it come and find him first.

He walked back to Ma Zheng's office. He immediately saw Gong Fan napping on the chair nearby.

Gong Fan was laying his head against the wall with his cane on his lap, Ren Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

An old man's energy was truly too little compared to me and others here.

Ma Zheng noticed Ren Ye coming over as he rushed over with panic, "Ah Mister…"

"Ren Ye."

"Mister Ren Ye, Old Fan fainted."

Ren Ye shot a glance at Gong Fan's face before raising them to look at Ma Zheng sharply, "Find a comfortable place for him to lay down that is far away from here."

From Ma Zheng's point of view, he felt he was being ordered around by a stranger. As a young master who enjoyed every wonder in this life, he couldn't help but feel a rising humiliation inside his heart.

[Host! Listen to Ren Ye's Advice]

[Gong Fan's health is not stable and comfortable. Be sure to put him in a soft and comfortable place far from this office.]

[Be sure to listen to whatever Ren Ye has to say as it may benefit you in your cultivation]

The text immediately added a suggestive remark.

[He may give you some fighting techniques.]

In the end, the system added a smirk emoji.

"…"

Dammit, you are tempting me.

Ma Zheng raised his eyes and watched Ren Ye with temptation, wanting to poke through this man's skin and devour what knowledge he has.

Ma Zheng immediately gestured to the assistant, "Call the men over and take this old man to a hotel room under my father's name."

The lady nodded her head and pressed the earbud in his ears, speaking softly to it.

"Brother Ye, what is it that you may need from me?"

He showed a sense of friendliness toward this man his system had informed him possessed the very thing he has been wanting.

Almost suddenly, Ren Ye felt a spike in his anxiety as his hair stood up. Although he hadn't put on the binoculars yet, he was able to sense the presence from afar.

"There."

Ren Ye took out the tiny needles from his pocket, tinted with the Ice potion. Ma Zheng's eyes dilated after seeing Ren Ye move so quickly.

He swung against the perceived area by putting on his binoculars and watching the movements of the shadow, the needles shot out sharply from his hands.

As they moved quickly, the tips glowed with iciness and snowflakes began to envelop the room in a slight breeze.

The shadow had rather high intelligence and dodged an attack from Ren Ye, it shrieked silently as it moved out of his sight. Ren Ye cursed inwardly.

Ma Zheng was shocked by his sudden movement and couldn't help but praise Ren Ye inside his heart.

Praiseworthy! He is indeed capable! A worthy target!

Ren Ye turned to look at Ma Zheng with alertness in his eyes, Ren Ye ordered Ma Zheng, "Immediately lead me to the area where you found the rotting hand."

Ma Zheng hurriedly nodded his head and rushed to open the door to his office, he didn't forget to offer Ren Ye a surgical mask. Ren Ye accepted it and wore it due to the intense rotting smell, he was trying his hardest not to react.

Ren Ye lowered his head and took out his binoculars, he wore them on his eyes. He immediately saw blackened energy surrounding the room, it was emitting a dark vicious feeling.

Ren Ye hadn't sensed this feeling before as it attempted to take control of his mind, the energy was causing it to turn dreary and gloomy. He felt he wanted to cuss and take his anger out on someone.

He shook his head and knocked himself out of his state, he frowned.

It hasn't come here first yet, where is it?

"Where did you throw it?"

"Throw what?"

Ma Zheng was confused as Ren Ye frowned even deeper, "The hand."

"Ah, I sent it to the Forensic Lab."

"Has the result been released?"

"Not yet."

Ren Ye crouched down to study the area surrounding it.

[Ye Zhihao]

The system simply gave out one word at a time as Ren Ye immediately figured out the identity of the doer. His expression turned grave as he looked at Ma Zheng.

Ma Zheng…

He is the brother of Ma Meifan! His sister was targeted by him and he was as well!
