"Wait, could Its goal be to make us gouge out our own eyes?"
The sacrifices were the eyeballs.
They had destroyed the eyeballs, yet something unknown had burrowed into their own eyes.
If they did not want the thing inside to keep gnawing at them, then perhaps they could only dig out their eyes.
That way, It would obtain new sacrifices.
At that thought, Luo Ping's fingers, which had nearly touched his eyelids, stopped again.
He broke out in a cold sweat.
So, should he gouge them out or not?
Of the two choices, which one was correct?
"Enough, don't gouge them out."
Huang Bei knocked his hand down.
"Use weird energy to suppress it first, so it doesn't burrow into your brain."
Luckily, Xie Yu had taught them earlier how to mobilize weird energy to defend their bodies.
Luo Ping could not achieve Xie Yu's effortless, precise control that covered his entire body in an instant.
But mobilizing energy to protect his brain was not a problem.
Very quickly, Luo Ping used weird energy to wrap his brain, preventing the thing wriggling around in his eye from leaving his eyeball and burrowing into his brain.
That would be far more fatal than merely losing both eyes.
After all, even if both his eyes went blind or were gone, the Research Department could custom-make him a new pair after he returned.
If his brain was gone, then he would truly be finished.
At least, he had never heard of the Aberration Association's researchers developing resurrection medicine or technology.
"If it gets any worse, I'll help you dig it out immediately."
After all, losing this pair of eyes now would only mean being unable to see for a short while.
But what if this thing stayed in Luo Ping's eyes too
