Chapter 2 (1/2)
“God
das?”
Se
Cai cursed under his breath
With
his friend gone, Se Cai had no one to talk to so he grabbed the remote by his
side intending to distract himself
“Good
evening felloers, welcoht=””>, I’m your
host, Zhang Xin Yu…”
The
default station was his own tv station’s channel and the woman on screen was
the anchorwoman that he saved yesterday
Coincidentally,
the first news for that day’s <focus tonight=””> was Se Cai’s handiwork It
was a report on a large evening ball, the lead news of the day
Se Cai
could still remember the atmosphere of the ballroom If it was any other day,
seeing his own hard work on the neould have given Se Cai a joyful jolt but
that day, he wasn’t in the mood to celebrate…
The
gauze over his right eye kept blocking his view so gripped with anger, he tore
it off
Suddenly,
a dark curtain dropped before his eyes, and he could feel a great heat searing
the cornea of his right eye
Then, a
thunderous boom sounded in his mind!
He called
the doctor for help in desperation, but no words escaped from his mouth!
Se Cai
was filled with despair but after a while, the heat disappeared and he felt
washed over with a sense of peace
“damn,
could that be signs of internal bleeding…”
Se Cai
crumbled in his bed He stretched towards the call button but a voice spoke in
his ears, “Activating Eye for News system scanner Confirm compatibility Host
is a qualified journalist”
“News
appeared as county tv station’s news of the day Acquired 10 News Point, total
News Point is 103 points”
Theand it felt like the owner spoke directly in his
brain, it was a freaky feeling
“Who’s
there? Who’s talking to me?”
Se Cai
enquired instinctually but there was no one around him
“Am I
hallucinating? And what is this Eye for News system?”
Se Cai
mumbled to himself He wanted to ask the doctor about this new discovery but he
feared they’ll end up treating him as a mental patient
“Fck
ed to hear hallucinations like these…”
Se Cai
convinced hi because there was no other
logical explanation
Se Cai
laughed bitterly He held the post of a journalist at great esteem because in
his ot their voices
heard They represented the voices of the people
A
year at the tv station though had eroded his initial bright-eyed enthusiasm… The
long working hours aside, most of the news he covered were limited to fluff
pieces like company events or manhole thief
For the
sake of these “news”, even his personal safety was on the line
Se Cai
sighed as he laid back down on his bed, thankful that he ed to escape the
gang of men with his life intact, “What Eye for News systeone
crazy…”
Right
then, the faain in his head, “Activation of Eye for News
syste for soulbind”
“Soulbind?”
Se Cai
was not unfamiliar with the term that he had seen many times in his online
games
Then
again, he reminded himself he was in real life
After
giving it soured he’d test it out Even if it was a
hallucination, it sounded interesting Furthermore, there was no one else in
the rooh at him
“Soulbind
confirmed!”
As the
words left his h his body It felt like
the system had somehow fused to his soul
Se Cai
had a hard ti the system’s presence Like how an amputee would
describe his lost arm, it was somehow there but not there
“Binding

The
male voice concluded
Simultaneously,
a se almost half of
his visual field
Needless
to say, this had to do with this Eye for News system
“So…

After
