Terror is resurging, but only I am.

Chapter 43 The Rules of the Blindfolded Ghost: Watching the Truth Go By

"This is……"

Yan Ming was incredibly curious about his new form. The two ghosts he had previously disguised himself as—the Spying Ghost and the Doctor Ghost—would not change their forms.

One is using the Ghost Eye remotely; the other is the Ghost Intelligence installed in one's own brain.

This is how a "ghost" would normally appear in Wangcheng, similar to a cat-faced old woman.

However, this ghost felt completely unfamiliar to Yan Ming; he had never seen such a ghost before.

Through introspection, he was able to "see" what he looked like at that moment.

It is small in stature and looks like a child of about 6 years old, but it doesn't look like a big-headed goblin like the beggar ghost.

She was fairly pretty and cute, with fair skin that had a cold, bluish-gray tinge. Her eye sockets were slightly sunken, and inside were a pair of pure white eyes without pupils.

His face was youthful, but unusually cold and devoid of emotion; he looked like a refined ghost child.

The most eerie part of this ghost is undoubtedly the ghost child's hands.

He was covering Teacher Pan's eyes with the back of his hand, his palms facing outwards, and in the center of his palms were two very peculiar ghost eyes.

Unlike the two evil and lively eyes of the Peeping Ghost, the Eye-Covering Ghost's eyes were noticeably quieter.

His eyes were clear and bright, his pupils as large as hands.

Yes, it was a very peculiar pupil shape; Yan Ming had to observe it carefully to reach that conclusion.

Inside the eye of the blindfolded ghost's hand was another pair of ghost hands, and the posture of those ghost hands was exactly the same as the ghost hands that were covering Teacher Pan's eyes at this moment.

The ghost's eye is still visible in the ghost's hand, and the ghost's hand is still visible in the ghost's eye...

This creates an endless cycle.

Although Yan Ming couldn't actually see this cycle, he felt that he simply hadn't observed it closely enough.

If the blindfolded ghost's hand were magnified infinitely, he would definitely be able to see the infinite cycle of hand and eye.

"What a peculiar ghost." Yan Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly after seeing the appearance of the blindfolded ghost. He also remembered another key point.

Just now, when he chose to pretend to be a ghost, he simultaneously selected Teacher Pan as his target, and then immediately appeared on Teacher Pan's shoulder, entering the stage where his ability took effect.

If we replace it with the spying ghost, it means that Teacher Pan did almost nothing, but was targeted simply because of the spying ghost's "will," which is equivalent to violating the taboo of "ghosts."

The taboo against the Spying Ghost was already easy to break, but I never expected there would be an expert now.

No taboos?

What exactly is the origin of this "blindfolded ghost"?
Yan Ming tried to recall the ghostly creatures the doctor had described, and he connected them to the nurse ghost...

No, it's a wish-granting ghost.

The Wheelchair King once said that he wished that ghosts possessed strong subjective malice and would actively entangle themselves with humans.

Could it be that this kind of blindfolded ghost is a type of wish-granting ghost?
But the ghost tailor is also a wishful ghost. When Dr. Zhang pretends to be a ghost, he can only make out one ghost hand. But this "Li Xiaoyu" can actually make out a whole blindfolded ghost.
Yan Ming sensed that there must be something hidden, but he couldn't make an accurate judgment yet.

Under the rules of pretending to be a ghost, he can only pretend to be a ghost that he has had deep contact with in real life.

For example, the spying ghost, or the doctor ghost.

Is this blindfolded ghost the same?
Or is it because "Li Xiaoyu" had contact with the Blind Ghost that he inherited this experience, and when he tried to pretend to be a ghost in the other person's identity, he automatically chose the Blind Ghost?
Yan Ming couldn't determine the answer for the time being, but the question lingered in his mind like a hidden thorn.

This matter is very important to him.

After sitting on Teacher Pan's shoulders, Yan Ming's mind was filled with many thoughts, but he didn't actually waste much time. He quickly focused all his attention on the present moment.

What exactly are the abilities of the Blindfolded Ghost?
Generally speaking, the simpler the way a taboo is violated, the lower the lethality of the ghost's ability; the two are inversely proportional overall.

However, the wishing spirits are clearly not within this pattern; the "wishes" of the wishing spirits...

According to Yan Ming's understanding, this implies "doing whatever one pleases".

It belongs to the ghost's willful nature.

At that moment, Yan Ming covered Teacher Pan's eyes with his ghostly hand that had eyes, and Teacher Pan finally quieted down.

Standing motionless, as if their soul and spirit had been ripped away.

Is the Blindfolded Demon's ability to suppress?
The kind of suppression like the female ghost in the apartment building suppressing the ghost-eyed corpse and the nurse ghost?

No, its abilities go far beyond that. Teacher Pan's stillness was merely because the Blindfold Demon was on standby; its abilities hadn't been activated at all.

Can a standby status forcefully suppress others?

I haven't figured out how to use my ability yet, so please wait here for a while.

Is this the Wish Demon?

This was the first time Yan Ming had truly felt the power of such ghosts.

When he tried to control the ghostly eyes that grew from his palms, he experienced a dual vision.

It's similar to the Spying Ghost's dual vision, but completely different because the two worlds he sees are different.

In both perspectives, things look the same, yet are different.

He found it difficult to articulate this feeling, so he decided to explore this ability in a simpler way—

experiment.

Yan Ming turned Teacher Pan's face and focused his gaze on the stall door in the women's restroom.

As he observed, the toilet door in the field of vision of the two pairs of eyes underwent a more fundamental change.

The same door, gradually separating.

Yan Ming opened his eyes wide, trying to see the process of this change. The appearance of things in his eyes had not changed, but he felt a strange excitement and joy.

I seem……

I understand them.

The eyes on the ghost's hand are observing another world, and the same thing in both worlds is connected by some kind of essence.

But I can detach myself from this essence.

Yan Ming used his ability without hesitation, targeting the door of the cubicle in front of him. He pulled out something from the "door" and used it to propel Teacher Pan's body forward.

The door was not opened, but Teacher Pan led him inside.

The door that should have blocked their way became a kind of passage. After they passed through the surface of the door, Yan Ming was surprised to find himself in Class 3 of the second year of high school.

"Teacher Pan?"

Why did you suddenly come back?

"Have you found Li Xiaoyu? If that guy runs off, the whole plan will be ruined!"

The sudden appearance of Teacher Pan surprised the students in the classroom, but they seemed to be used to Teacher Pan's "strange" behavior, and just kept asking about Li Xiaoyu's whereabouts.

At this moment, "Li Xiaoyu" was sitting on Teacher Pan's shoulders, but he was certain that none of the students in the class had seen him.

He, the Blindfolded Ghost, seemed to have completely disappeared.

After the experiment, Yan Ming has gradually come to understand the effects of this ability.

In his understanding, the essence of a door is "isolation".

It separates two adjacent spaces, thus separating the inside and outside of the toilet.

However, if the blindfolded ghost can be separated from this essence, then the door can no longer block space, but can connect space, and the connected space must be a non-adjacent space.

It's a bit like turning the "door" completely upside down.

Thus, the toilet door became an "anywhere door" in his eyes, allowing him to distort reality to some extent.

At the same time, the names of the rules belonging to the Blindfolded Ghost also appeared in Yan Ming's mind.

The rule of the Spying Ghost is "to spy on all evil spirits".

The Blindfolded Ghost is named—

"Watching reality unfold."
