He roared and kicked me out from behind. I crashed against the wall, nearly vomiting. I fought back the nausea and continued, "Mao Wang, I know you're hurting inside, but you need to calm down. Don't do anything foolish."
"Foolish?" Mao Wang suddenly stopped his movements. He leaned closer to me, his hollow eyes staring into mine, sending chills down my spine. "Do you think what I'm doing is foolish?"
His voice suddenly softened, but his gaze became even more frenzied. I felt around for the lighter on the ground, gritting my teeth in pain as I flicked it on and held it up in front of Mao Wang. I needed to see this madman clearly!
The light from the lighter flickered briefly, but in that instant, I caught a glimpse of the face of the person who wanted me dead. In the firelight, his face appeared sinister and terrifying; he was tall and strong, with a square jaw and a broad forehead. His deep-set eyes were shadowed by thick brows, glinting with malice.
A scar ran from his brow bone down to his jawline, making his smile even more grotesque. His grayish-white irises held nothing but emptiness, causing the hairs on the back of my neck to stand on end.
"Hand over your eyes quietly, and you can lie here just like them," he said. Following that voice, I looked into the room.
It was a space of about twenty square meters, seemingly filled with many people lying in various strange positions, completely motionless. The backlight obscured their faces, and the blood smeared over my eyes blurred my vision. But I knew—these people were all dead.
Suddenly, realization hit me. "Mao Wang! You beast!"
He laughed in response: "What’s wrong? Want to kill me?"
"You deserve to die!"
He scoffed: "I think I should die too; even heaven thinks I should die! But what’s the result?" He leaned in closer. "I'm still alive... and my eyes have even recovered; they’re clearer than what you can see!"
"Do you know why you all ended up here?"
I gritted my teeth and said nothing.
He laughed wildly, "That's because of your eyes, hahahaha."
"And people like you, even if you die, will only rot here silently, and no one will notice."
"This place was created by Zhang Guitian specifically for the ritual, and it only opens at midnight on the Lunar Fifteenth."
"Do you want to know how to get out?" he suddenly asked.
I gritted my teeth and replied, "The ritual."
"Hahahaha..." He burst into laughter, "Smart, it's the ritual."
"This space is very difficult to control according to Old Zhang; with his ability, he can only open this space."
"To get out, you must complete a ritual here!"
"And completing the ritual requires the eyes of people like you."
"As long as the ritual is completed, the door to leave this space will automatically open."
"But if the ritual isn't completed before sunrise, this space will close until the next Lunar Fifteenth, when Old Zhang will have the ability to open it again."
"So you help me complete the ritual here, and you can quietly lie here with your brothers and sisters, hahahaha!"
"You..." I trembled with anger, "You killed so many people just for your eyes!"
"So what?" he laughed loudly, "They should consider it an honor to contribute to me."
"And besides, they died for a reason."
"Shut up!"
"What kind of twisted logic is this? Are you out of your mind?"
