Yi Chen had retracted the umbilical cord into his body and was sitting against the wall,
describing to his teammates everything that had taken place here, including the fake monastery, the disguised Watcher, Gathering Eye Disease, and the mysterious yellow robe.
Reagan was also surprised that Yi Chen alone could achieve this extent. The opponent was just one step away from achieving Open Source, and there were still unknown doubts in this matter.
The focus of discussion was still on “Yellow Eyes”.
This time, the Patient seemed to be divided into two parts,
one being a collection of Pilgrim’s eyeballs, which under the effect of Gathering Eye Disease, integrated into a whole, forming a structure like that of a star system, which currently was being completely parasitized by little grape, undergoing absorption.
The other was the bizarre yellow robe, whose known abilities included:
1. Capable of forming a vortex that slightly affects space and absorbs surrounding matter; this trait complements Gathering Eye Disease very well.
Through layers of induced arrangements, your teammates were lured onto a different path, allowing you to be brought alone to a platform in the mountains, where a flaw was deliberately exposed to reveal a hidden passage.
Even a tremendous amount of energy was expended to use the eyeball collection he had painstakingly gathered to set up an extraordinarily realistic fake monastery.
I have a feeling it will follow you, and might even meet you again at the other end of the passage.
“By then, I will no longer be inside you. Be careful not to be possessed if you encounter that thing.”
“Are you interested in me…?”
Moon Scar’s reasoning was sound, and Yi Chen also sensed that the figure in yellow robes seemed genuinely interested in him.
An infusion lasting half an hour restored Yi Chen to his peak condition,
When leaving the patient room like a gentleman, he thanked the female doctor and nurse sister, who in turn performed a rather strange ritual gesture, hoping to have the opportunity to offer Yi Chen special treatment services again.
As consciousness returned, Yi Chen reopened his eyes in the cave,
sitting beside him, Reagan and Jin had already stood up, gazing intently at the spot occupied by Little Grape.
Upon awakening, Yi Chen also smelled an extremely familiar graveyard aura, more precisely the distinct scent of the Seven-Day Cemetery.
Hurriedly, he got up to check out the situation,
where Little Grape previously was, a nameless mound had evolved, with broken stones randomly stacked as a tombstone, exactly as when they first met in Cemetery No. 6.
Reagan explained from the side, “The mound was dug out by itself, the Pilgrim’s eyeballs have been completely parasitized, maybe due to its birth in a graveyard, it needed the graveyard environment for the final absorption and evolution, I guess.”
Waves of intense dead qi burst forth from the mound, even cloaking the entire cave with a thick layer of dead air.
A pitch-black skeleton arm stretched out from the mound, soon followed by a complete, rag-wrapped skeletal frame with a mysterious glow all over it, the eye socket in the skull distinctly embedded with a lone eye.
Just as everyone thought this was Little Grape’s new form,
the lone eye slipped from its socket, and the skeleton also crumbled and scattered,
The eye, falling to the ground, swiftly grew black fur, reverting to Little Grape’s original form.
Only the eyeball in its mouth had enlarged and its pupil structure was more intricate, resembling some sort of secret technique array.
Little Grape didn’t seem very excited, but instead hopped back onto Yi Chen’s shoulder and burrowed into his body.
“I… saw some rather unpleasant scenes.” Little Grape muttered.
“I saw the Star River, saw ancient battlefields, I was like a corpse scavenger, picking up remaining eyeballs across the battlefields.
Then there were no more memories.”
“Little Grape, I remember you said you were formed from a fusion of many unnamed ancient corpses from ‘Cemetery No. 6,’ perhaps these memories come from one of those ancient corpses?”
“Yes… This memory retrieval made me uncomfortable, I haven’t been able to fully control it. Eating so many eyeballs at once, including one named ‘The Main Eye of Saint Alvaro,’ was indeed a bit forced.”
“Take a rest for a while, the crisis has been resolved. Once we find the passage, I’ll wake you up then.”
Yi Chen didn’t rush to inquire what abilities Little Grape had obtained, seeing that Little Grape was a bit off, he decided to let him rest properly.
