Chapter 290: Chapter 26: The Ominous Eye

"Lu Zhengqiang?"

"I heard he’s going to join the patrol tonight."

"Oh, is that so?"

"How is it that this guy hasn’t died on patrol yet?"

"Yeah... I feel sick just looking at him!"

Dai Lin walked on the roads of Nanmian Village, noting the gazes of the villagers around him.

Dai Lin was quite surprised.

The mental cognition of these people had been easily altered within the range of his Devil’s Eye, causing them to see him as Lu Zhengqiang.

Dai Lin realized that he now seemed to be powerful to an extent that even he did not fully understand!

"Lu Zhengqiang, it’s good that you’ve come." At that moment, Dai Lin saw a man approaching; a crew-cut man in his thirties with a poker face full of menacing intent.

Having read He Yun’s memories, Dai Lin remembered this man.

"Long Zhiqiang, hello."

"Hello?" Long Zhiqiang appeared to be puzzled that the "Lu Zhengqiang" in front of him would say such a word, but then he didn’t say much more. He said, "You’ve thought it over, right? Nian Cheng is waiting for your answer."

Seeing that Dai Lin didn’t answer, Long Zhiqiang repeated, "As long as you agree, the frequency of your patrols will be greatly reduced, and if conditions permit, you can also ask for food supplies."

Dai Lin had already guessed.

The son of the village chief, Ge Niancheng, wanted to kill He Yun.

Dai Lin didn’t hesitate, answering, "I’m sorry, I don’t agree."

"Hm?" Long Zhiqiang’s eyes turned colder. "What conditions did He Yun offer you? Name it, and we can try to meet them."

"There are no conditions."

"Here’s the deal." Long Zhiqiang stepped in front of him and said, "As long as you remain neutral, we’ll still consider you helpful, and the conditions remain unchanged. If you don’t agree, then we’ll treat you the same way we’ll treat He Yun and Su Wenxin. People like you..."

"I will stand with He Yun." That was Dai Lin’s response. "I have already made a promise to him."

Long Zhiqiang looked at Dai Lin coldly, clenched his fist, and then several people gathered around.

The villagers watching the drama immediately started to keep their distance, not wanting to provoke trouble.

Ge Niancheng, the village chief’s son, had countless people willing to curry favor with him.

"Say that again?" Long Zhiqiang pointed at Dai Lin and said, "I missed saying something just now. If you don’t agree, you’re going to have a hard time in this village from now on."

"If Ge Niancheng has that in mind, let him come in person. After all, he’s a college graduate. What’s the difference between using thugs to show up and being a street ruffian?" Dai Lin found it laughable to watch these people threaten him. Now that a great disaster was coming to Nanmian Village, these people were still fighting among themselves in the face of calamity.

"How dare you!" One of them scolded, "Is your skin itching, Lu Zhengqiang? Do you dare to talk like that?"

"Exactly! Who do you think you have to thank for being able to live in the village? Village Chief Ge is kind-hearted; you’re supposed to repay his kindness!"

Dai Lin had already grown weary of wasting words with these people.

What he needed to do now was to confirm that temple and then find a way to make contact with the "Dai Wei" inside this village to determine whether he was a spirit from the White Mist.

Compared with these tasks, the people in front of him really didn’t matter.

"Get him."

Long Zhiqiang clearly didn’t want to waste any more words on Dai Lin. The surrounding people naturally swarmed up, rushing toward Dai Lin!

Dai Lin covered his left eye with his hand, leaving only a slit between his fingers, and swept his gaze over the people around him!

He could clearly see everyone’s soul, their three souls and seven spirits, as if his naked eye were comparable to a CT scanner at Hospital 444.

At that moment, Dai Lin could effortlessly tear out everyone’s souls from their bodies if he wished and, before their souls turned into specters, throw them into the world of the dead.

Of course, Dai Lin wouldn’t kill people now. Merely revealing a tiny trace of intimidation from his mostly covered left eye was already enough to put significant pressure on everyone’s souls.

"Ah!"

All of them felt a sudden, agonizing pain in their brains, as if someone was splitting their heads open alive!

You should know, Dai Lin’s finger slit only revealed about a millimeter or so, and just this little bit was enough to cause everyone in front of him immense pain.

"I really want to see what my soul looks like now."

Long Zhiqiang was stunned.

He was always fearless, but seeing all these people fall around him seemed too incredible.

"Lu... Lu... Lu Zhengqiang, you..."

Dai Lin put down his hand, staring coldly at Long Zhiqiang.

His left eye had already returned to normal.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, attacking an ordinary person with the left eye would result in instantaneous death.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

At this moment, in Long Zhiqiang’s eyes, the pupils of "Lu Zhengqiang" looked like the ice-cold eyes of the wildest beast, seemingly ready to devour him at any time.

Long Zhiqiang swallowed nervously, thinking of retreating but he was inherently stubborn and refused to submit easily. He asked, "What exactly did you just do?"

"I did nothing."

At this time, Dai Lin was starting to feel a trace of anger.

Ever since he entered Hospital 444, Dai Lin had been living in repression and fear, not to mention facing the numerous curses, but also dealing with the hospital’s doctors, each with their own hidden agendas.

He knew very clearly that all of it was because his strength was not strong enough! That’s why these big shots could manipulate him at will, and both Yin Wuque and Han Ming were using him.

But now... Dai Lin’s strength had finally made a qualitative leap.

From this point on, even those big shots would not dare to look down on him.

What was Long Zhiqiang in comparison? Dai Lin had already shown mercy, and yet he refused to recognize the situation?

Long Zhiqiang realized that "Lu Zhengqiang" seemed to have completely changed.

"You..."

"Get lost," Dai Lin said coldly and did not repeat himself.

As he uttered "Get lost," Long Zhiqiang suddenly felt that Dai Lin’s eyes became extremely terrifying, as if in the whole world, nothing was left but his pupils.

"I, I... I’m leaving! I’m leaving!"

Consequently, Long Zhiqiang and the others fled, no longer daring to approach Dai Lin.

Dai Lin did not say anything more and continued walking forward.

Through He Yun’s memories, he knew the way to the temple very well.

Although he could know what the temple looked like from his memory, he had to see it personally with Devil’s Eye to truly understand what place it was.

As he got closer to the temple, Dai Lin’s vision was already penetrating the barriers ahead, allowing him to see that place.

"The temple..."

It was not much different from what was in He Yun’s memory, but the place appeared to be in extreme disrepair.

"What exactly is this place..."

...

Dai Wei was feeling very uneasy at the moment.

He was touching the back of his hand.

Even now, he could still feel the touch on his skin.

The snowstorm outside was getting more and more intense, even though it was still daytime, it seemed as if it were almost night.

"To put it simply, you felt something touch the back of your hand, and when you lifted the covers, you saw nothing, right?"

The person sitting in front of Dai Wei was Ge Jiayan, the brother of the village chief, Ge Pingyan.

The village chief hadn’t assigned him any specific duties, but he had always been the village chief’s personal assistant. The village chief trusted his brother greatly, to the extent that he let him take care of the nine people "isolated" in the guest house.

"Yes, I lifted the covers quickly. But there was nothing... What’s the situation in the village now? Has anyone died? Has the White Mist spread into the village?"

Dai Wei was very nervous, even constantly looking around.

Nobody knew when the "unknown entity" that had mingled among them would appear.

"I cannot tell you anything about the current situation in the village," Ge Jiayan said. "This is a special instruction from the village chief. From now on, your family members will not be allowed to visit you. The doctors will announce that you have contracted an unknown type of pneumonia."

"Unknown pneumonia?"

"Right... You don’t need to worry about the specifics, we’ll just use this reason to extend your quarantine. No one, no matter who, can leave this guest house. You must be completely isolated and monitored at all times, and you’re not allowed to meet or communicate with each other."

Ge Jiayan then added, "I need to remind you that you are now... the prime suspect. So don’t think about lying in front of me, understand?"
