Chapter 55: More Cruel Than Specters

_'Is he dead?'_

Fang Xiu furrowed his brow slightly.

_'Did the mutation not stop? Or did I go too hard?'_

Just as he was feeling a bit annoyed, out of nowhere, he thought he heard a squishy, tentacle-like squirming sound.

In front of him, where he couldn't see, four octopus-like tentacles popped out of Lin Ziyang's remaining eye.

These four tentacles latched onto Lin Ziyang's eye socket and, with a soft tug, pulled the whole eye out, making a noise like popping a soda can's tab.

POP!

Fang Xiu's face tightened, and he immediately retreated ten meters away from Lin Ziyang.

He was quick, but still not as quick as the tentacled eye.

The eye was bloody, with only a black pupil showing. It creepily crawled on top of Lin Ziyang's head like some sort of spider.

Its jet-black pupil locked onto Fang Xiu, zoning in on him almost instantaneously.

With a powerful jump, it shot toward Fang Xiu like a cannonball.

WHOOSH!

Almost at the same time, Fang Xiu swung his scalpel, trying to slice the mutant eye in two.

But the eye dodged in midair, just missing the blade.

SMACK!

Its squishy tentacles wrapped around Fang Xiu's hand that was holding the scalpel.

Fang Xiu kept his cool. He immediately switched hands to hold the scalpel and took another swing at the eye.

The eye dodged like a slippery octopus. It moved to the other side of his hand before he could hit it.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Fang Xiu couldn't cut his own hand, so he had to stop swinging.

He let go of the scalpel and tried to grab the eye instead.

But the eye acted like it was alive. It crawled all over Fang Xiu, making it impossible to catch.

It climbed higher and higher, now reaching Fang Xiu's neck.

In the face of such a bizarre scene, Fang Xiu's face showed no emotion. But when he heard the word 'suffering,' he actually laughed.

"Make me suffer?" A small smirk crept onto his face, showing off his unnaturally white teeth. In the dim light, it appeared eerily unsettling.

Lin Ziyang's voice came again, "My suffering's way worse than yours! Hmph! Let's see how tough you act when I'm running the show. I'll use your body to hurt everyone you care about, making you beg for the end!"

In the next instant, a wave of Specter's Spiritual Energy burst from the eyeball, aiming right for Fang Xiu's thoughts and soul.

It was like a toxic dump, constantly polluting Fang Xiu's soul. And Lin Ziyang's mind controlled the source, digging deeper and deeper into Fang Xiu's spirit.

His plan was to pollute Fang Xiu's soul, infect it with Specter power, and fully seize control of this body.

But the second he fully dived into Fang Xiu's soul, he froze.

"What the heck is this place?"

Lin Ziyang felt like he'd fallen into an endless void, a darkness so twisted it was like a black hole that relentlessly devoured everything in its path.

Here, he was bombarded with boundless negative emotions.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Payback time! You're toast!"

"Honey! As long as I'm alive, you're destined to die!"

"No one walks away after offing me eighteen times, no one!"

"All Specters will perish!"

"I will make the world feel pain!"

Intense hatred and anger roared like a wild storm, relentlessly battering Lin Ziyang.

Countless horrifying scenes of death rushed in like an avalanche.

Even though Lin Ziyang had lost control of his Spiritual Energy, and he'd fully mutated into a Specter, the twisted nature of Fang Xiu's soul still left him trembling with fear.

_'Is this for real? Is this actually a human soul?!'_

At this moment, eerie Specter whispers surrounded Lin Ziyang from all sides. It was incomprehensible, impossible to ignore, akin to a haunting enchantment. Each note of this eerie sound made his head throb in agony.

Lin Ziyang felt like he was trapped in hell. He couldn't take it anymore; he was scared out of his mind. He had to get out of there. This couldn't be a human soul.

Lin Ziyang quivered and thought. _'Fang Xiu? No way was he human; he's more Specter-ish than any Specter I've ever met!'_
