Chapter 469: A Pair of Eyeballs (2/2)

After some rest, Lu Yun began disassembling them as well. It took him about an hour to destroy the last layer of runes, bringing the scarlet hanging coffin to a soft landing on the ground.

Breath hitched, Lu Yun and Qi Hai quietly stared at the coffin.

“It...” They both widened their eyes in shock, gaping at the thing crawling out of the coffin. It wasn’t a zombie or an immortal ghost, like Lu Yun had expected, but a... pair of eyes.

A pair of regular-sized, very pretty eyes. The gaze in them was bright and focused as they gave Lu Yun and Qi Hai a onceover.

“The tomb owner is a pair of eyes?” Lu Yun breathed in shock, but then was reminded of something. “No wonder Senior Human Demon always manifests as a pair of eyes first. He borrowed the power of the tomb owner.”

“You should not have let me out,” the eyes transmitted.

“That thing has been eaten,” Lu Yun answered the unspoken question.

“It will come back to life. Many have tried to destroy it over the years, but they have always failed. The extinction layout passed down from the human ancestor planet is the only hope to destroy it.

“But… I don’t want to be destroyed completely either, so I had to take action to bring down the layout.”

“You know feng shui as well?” Lu Yun asked despite himself.

“I don’t, but I know how to dismantle the extinction layout...” The consciousness of the eyes was conflicted and resigned.

“Be careful,” Qi Hai suddenly said in Lu Yun’s head. “The eyes are dangerous and in no way a kind soul. They weren’t buried here, but sealed here. ...wait! This thing isn’t the tomb owner!” he suddenly concluded with great urgency, suddenly recalling a terrible legend.

Lu Yun was completely unfazed by the sudden twist. He was the greatest commandant of tomb raiders in history, so of course he’d noticed that something was amiss. The eyes were alive and sentient!

Moreover, although they looked bright and clear, the crimson light hidden deep within couldn’t be concealed.

“I need to borrow your body to take down the extinction layout,” continued the eyes.

“Borrow my body?” Lu Yun paused. “Don’t you see the thing behind my back?”

“I can deal with them for you,” the eyes cast a glance over Lu Yun’s shoulders and transmitted. The use of ‘them’ suggested that the eyes knew what the rotten flesh of many lives was.

“Go on, then.” Lu Yun opened his arms and closed his eyes.

“I’ll have to scoop your eyes out first.” The eyes turned crimson, as did the patch of light and the darkness behind them.

The layout of Ghost Hits Wall shattered and the feng shui spirit behind Exalted Celestial Emperor’s back disintegrated with a mournful wail. The celestial emperor jerked out of his trance.
