Terror is resurging, but only I am.

Chapter 10: Pay attention, this is how you use the Demon Eye!
[Account: Survivor "Ghost Eye"]

Gradient: T3

Number of evacuations: 14

[Value extracted: 17M]

When Yan Ming opened Ghost Eye's account, the blood-red characters on the wall changed.

The gradient likely refers to a level, since he just saw that the reward for the evacuation mission was "gradient experience boost," which is essentially equivalent to leveling up in the game.

With 14 evacuations, the survivor "Ghost Eye" successfully completed 14 evacuation operations. In Yan Ming's opinion, he can definitely be considered a seasoned survivor.

The Ghost Realm is no child's play; a single misstep can lead to utter death.

They brought out something worth 17M. It's unclear what that means, but it's probably something the survivors successfully took from the Ghost Realm.

The mission hints were quite clear: the main objective of the entire escape game is to search for high-value items in a bizarre environment, compete with ghosts or other players for these items, and ultimately successfully complete the evacuation.

So where exactly are the high-value items in this account?

Could it be that these are all physical items that cannot be stored in this kind of virtual account?
Yan Ming searched around but found nothing, so he turned his attention to the "history" section, but it only showed the records of the three most recent games, all of which were marked "successful evacuation".

Was the evacuation successful?

In other words, this survivor did not die in the game, but in reality during the game's interval?

Based on the date of the evacuation record, Ghost Eyes' death should be imminent.

It seems that even experienced survivors are powerless against the resurgence of supernatural phenomena; reality is far more dangerous than their games.

Perhaps the real-world resurgence of the supernatural is closely related to this bizarre game, since those terrifying ghosts cannot be said to have appeared out of thin air.

Yan Ming made a mental judgment and tried to check the recent records in detail. Then he found that there were additional slogans in the third game.

[Successfully won the hand, replicating the map rule - "Eavesdropping on all evils!"]

Spying is a sinister thing?

Who is Wansui?
The question immediately popped into Yan Ming's mind, but then he thought about it again and realized that his understanding was wrong. The pronunciation of these four characters is the same as "long live peeping", so it should refer to worshipping the behavior of "peeping".

The phrase "万岁" (long live) was changed to "万祟" (ten thousand evil spirits), with the character "祟" (evil spirit) representing the entire map's association with the supernatural.

Map rules...

Does this refer to a special rule that appears in every evacuation game?

Yan Ming immediately thought of the ghost domain theory. If the evacuation areas of the game are all ghost domains within ghost objects, then the singularity of the ghost domain is the so-called map rules, right?
Just like the rule of Wangcheng is "pretending to be a ghost".

There is a map whose rule is "Peeping at all evil spirits!" The survivor Ghost Eye successfully escaped with the cards, replicating the map's rules, and thus gained special and eerie powers.

Considering its connection to the "peeping ghost," Yan Ming was basically certain of his judgment; any oversights would only be minor errors.

Yan Ming stretched out his stiff hand with difficulty and tried to touch the survivor's ghost eye. If he was not mistaken, the survivor used this eye to use the power of the rules.

The ghost eye has a cool touch, and when his hand unconsciously covered the ghost eye, the ghost eye in the center of his forehead actually moved to the side by itself, avoiding Yan Ming's hand.

Like oil slicks floating on the surface of water, you reach out to touch them, but the oil slicks often cleverly move to your fingertips.

This behavior is inherent to the Ghost Eye; it seems unable to tolerate its vision being obstructed by anything else.

So the location of the demon eye can move freely on the body's surface?
Yan Ming tried to control it, but the ghost eye did not move and remained firmly in place at the Tianzhong acupoint on his forehead.

He could vaguely sense that it wasn't that the Ghost Eye couldn't do it, but rather that the Ghost Eye was unwilling to move. He decided to try the other Ghost Eye.

As Yan Ming tried to open his new eyes, cracks appeared in the wall beside him, and a second ghost eye immediately appeared, coldly staring at everything in the corridor.

He was able to roughly figure out the logic of the Ghost Eye's proliferation.

When the first ghost eye opened, it peered at the old woman. The old woman turned around to look at it, thus breaking a taboo. After that, the ghost eye could appear beside the old woman at any time and could extend a ghost hand from the crack.

The second ghost eye is currently in the first stage, which Yan Ming calls the "waiting" state. It requires someone to actively search for its traces and violate taboos to make it grow into the "ghost hand" state.

In other words, the more people who break the taboo, the more ghost eyes there will be in the "ghost hand" state. The two are strictly matched one to one, and there will always be one more ghost eye than the number of people who break the taboo, because there will always be one ghost eye in a "standby" state.

After figuring out the rules and logic of the Ghost Eye in his mind, Yan Ming turned around without hesitation to look at the Ghost Eye that appeared on the wall behind him.

The next second, a sense of malice took root in his mind, and a peculiar threatening aura surrounded him like a sword hanging overhead.

Yan Ming knew he had violated the taboo of the Ghost Eye, which meant that the Ghost Eye could appear beside him at any time, and that ghostly hand could either kill him or protect him.

That's right, his physical body can also be one of the targets of the Demon Eyes, which means he now possesses three Demon Eyes.

However, the same target will not repeatedly violate the taboo, and even if he repeatedly explores the location of new ghost eyes, it will not cause the ghost eyes to multiply.

Ultimately, it still requires "spying" on more people.

The rule about "peeping is a sin against all" is both a blessing and a curse, and the word "sin" here refers to quantity.

"Grandma, try attacking me."

Yan Ming snapped out of his thoughts; his experiment and reflection hadn't taken up too much time.

"Me? You?" The cat-faced old woman was somewhat surprised, because in her memory, Yan Ming was a young man who had no power to restrain a cat, and the ghost he was pretending to be was not the type that could enhance himself.

However, trusting Yan Ming, she tentatively waved her cat paws to slap him.

In Yan Ming's eyes, the old woman's cat paws were much slower than before; his reaction speed seemed to have reached seven times that of a cat.

Then, in the path of the cat's claws, the ghost's eyes opened out of thin air, and a pair of ghostly hands reached out from the crack to intercept the cat's claws.

However, the ghost hand was much slower than the cat's claw. Realizing this, the old woman immediately changed her posture and attacked from the other side.

However, when the ghost eye disappeared and reappeared, it blocked the cat's paw again.

Several strikes were blocked in succession. With just a pair of ghost hands, Yan Ming was protected so tightly that there was no gaping around him. The old woman became a little impatient and opened her mouth to reveal her sharp teeth and hissed.

So the ghost eye closed uncontrollably, and without the ghost hand to stop it, the old woman naturally and smoothly placed the cat's paw on Yan Ming's shoulder.

Yan Ming: "..."

Okay, the way it gets angry while playing is also very much like a cat.

"You seem to have improved your control over pretending to be a ghost," the old woman continued. "What are you planning to do next?"

Yan Ming thought for a moment and said directly, "Go to the monitoring room."

Now that we've figured out the rules of the Ghost Eye, it's time for a little Ghost Eye shock.

It's unclear whether the original owner of the Demon Eye would have used it in this way.
