Special consignments like this were always delivered quickly.
The goods arrived at eight that evening.
After verifying his identity and inspecting the goods, Chen Shouyi signed the receiving documents. Once the escorting soldiers had left, he closed the door, picked up the sealed metal case, and hurried back to the bedroom.
"Click!"
He opened the metal case.
Lying on a strip of golden silk was a spherical object, surrounded by a hazy radiance and more than a circle larger than his fist.
At the same time, an obscure, indescribable aura seeped out from within.
His heart began pounding violently despite himself.
It looked like a gigantic eyeball that had been gouged out. The silver sclera, green iris, and pupil radiating golden light at the center could all be clearly distinguished. Countless raised purple patterns, resembling blood vessels, covered the sclera. The sight was eerie and horrifying.
"Is this the Soul Pearl?"
Chen Shouyi examined it for a while, then went to the bathroom and washed his hands. He immediately picked up the sphere. The moment his hand touched it, he strangely felt as though an additional layer of protection had appeared around him. A sense of security rose from the depths of his heart, filling both body and mind with delight.
"Has my soul been protected?" Chen Shouyi carefully sensed it and thought to himself.
However, he could not verify it for the time being.
"This really is probably the eyeball of some terrifying creature." He looked at the eyeball-like sphere, his expression turning solemn.
The entire object still carried a trace of warmth, as though some vestige of life remained within it. Yet it was incredibly hard, like a genuine crystal. He did not dare squeeze it with any force, afraid he might crush it in a single grip.
