1138 Influence and the Way (1/2)
Planet Stael.
Vincent woke up and had a strange flash of emotions through his eyes.
”What happened to me… Right, I was performing the ritual yesterday!”
He got up hurriedly and went to the loft.
While walking, Vincent realized that something was wrong.
Even in broad daylight, the light in the loft was very weak, and it was almost necessary to fumble to ensure that he would not fall.
However, right now, he could see everything clearly, be it a speck of dust in a corner or some spider webs. There was even something else.
”Who?!” It seemed as though he had returned to the hazy feeling he had yesterday and saw a white shadow flash in the corner of his eyes.
”A girl? No… There's no path there!” Vincent muttered. His neck suddenly turned ninety degrees, and his whole body turned quickly.
This time, he saw it very clearly. It was a little girl with gold-rimmed round glasses. She floated around in the air, between illusion and reality.
After discovering him peeping, she slid into a wall.
”What's happening?” He returned to the secret room in the loft and started packing. ”I only have memories of until I walked down the stairs… What happened after that? Did I fall down the stairs and faint?”
This was definitely possible.
However, Vincent gave a small cry when he suddenly remembered Sen Luo's page.
His eyes were fiery as he read the small line of text that had appeared at the bottom of the page.
”Do not peep into the inexplicable horrors!”
This line of words was blood red and phantasmagoric, as if it were burning, and it was full of warning.
Vincent screamed and covered his head.
He remembered his adventure last night and the last figure he saw…
”Ahh!!!” With the slight recollection, he held his head, feeling as though it had been slashed cruelly with an ax. However, he could not remember any specific details regarding that figure.
Vincent endured the pain and searched for clues on the page. A second line of warning appeared.
”You automatically master extraordinary power after coming into contact with the extraordinary!”
”I obtained a special ability… because I came into contact with the extraordinary?”
He found a mirror and saw that his eyes had shockingly changed. Each eye had an extra pupil with a touch of purple.
”My eyes became extraordinary, which is why I can see things that ordinary people can't?”
Vincent walked down the loft but did not see that girl in white this time.
”Good day, Your Excellency Vincent. Did you have a good rest last night?”
A lady wearing a black dress and a veil greeted him on the way.
”Good day, Mrs. Margaret!” Vincent replied absent-mindedly. His eyes narrowed all of a sudden.
After finding Vincent's gaze, the man smiled, tipped his round woolen top hat, and slowly disappeared.
That's Mr. Gerry. I just attended his funeral…
Vincent turned pale and bade goodbye immediately. He was preparing to get a drink and calm himself down.
He had longed for the extraordinary, but he realized that he was not ready for it at all when the moment finally came.
On the road, black sedan cars and carriages ran side by side, with well-dressed gentlemen and ladies in them.
However, in Vincent's eyes, all of them were pale and looked as though they were going to die from illness.
He gritted his teeth and stumbled along before finally knocking on the door of a bar that was still open.
”What would you like?” A bartender wiped a glass behind the bar. There was a rotten jellyfish suspended behind him, and its tentacles had reached into his head and squirmed away.
”Oh! No…” Vincent sprinted back to his room and grabbed his hair. ”It shouldn't be like this! Not like this!”
How he wished that everything could return back to yesterday. He would give anything for it!
”The true extraordinary world isn't something that normal humans can bear!”
He was nearly in tears.
