All the soul power and negative emotions Zhang Ding had absorbed were dragged into his left eye. This kept his body from recovering, and even his mind teetered on the brink of collapse.
Wrinkled skin bunched up on his face. Only Zhang Ding's left eye remained open. That eyeball was unusual, as deep as the night, yet a blazing light lay within its depths. Not only could it absorb wronged souls, vengeful ghosts, and the power of the Shadow World, it could also purify most of the negative emotions within them.
The Dream Ghost's eye? Gao Ming's heart sank.
"The General Bureau's Dream Ghost has been watching you all along, but he won't hurt you, because you're the best candidate to enter the black fog." The Jingtuo God spoke slowly. "The black fog stimulates ghost markings. We've tried every method imaginable, but ghost creatures lose control once they enter it. Some break free of the living person's control, while others simply eat the living person and take their place."
"We kept weakening the ghost creatures until we finally struck a balance. But that left our Security personnel too weak to reach the depths of the black fog." The Jingtuo God looked at Gao Ming. "We went through all kinds of records and eventually discovered that you seemed to be an exception. Even without drawing on a ghost creature's abilities, your will is still comparable to the remnant gods inside those clay sculptures."
"Our original plan was to kill you during this anomaly event and obtain your body and soul for various experiments, to uncover the truth. But now we'd like to cooperate with you in a more suitable way. Besides, this is an opportunity for you, too. Don't you want to leave Hanhai and see the real world outside?"
