Lines, numbers, symbols... these things are intertwined and mixed together.

Take each element individually and I can make sense of it, but put them all together and all I see is chaos.

Just like last time, I had an intuitive feeling that my brain was about to explode. As for the information contained in those things, I simply cannot calmly interpret them.

I averted my eyes and stopped looking at the phone screen, and the cluttered numbers became less numerous.

I saw the palm of my hand. The traces left by Mencet also deformed under my gaze, and even my body disappeared.

The sound is still there. I could hear Xu Tiancheng's voices very clearly. But my brain was so full of information that I couldn't analyze the scenery I saw in front of me, nor could I understand Xu Tiancheng's language.

This chaos seemed to have been fiddled with, and the colors that originally dazzled me turned into monotonous black and white.

black White……

And gray.

I tried to open my eyes wide enough to see clearly what was in front of me.

Black lines, white...chains.

The chains on my body are white.

Turning around, I saw that the chains on Xu Tiancheng and the others were also of the same color.

At the same time, I saw their souls. Their souls also show a kind of whiteness, but it is off-white.

In the whole world, only the chains are pure white.

Beyond that, there’s pure black.

On the gray background, white chains and black symbols collide with each other but do not merge.

I still don't understand what those symbols mean. Only the chains are within my understanding.

Soon, a shifting blackness appeared in my vision. Those symbols have entered an integrated state from a scattered state, arranged in an orderly manner. Although I can't understand the abstract symbols, I can observe the patterns visually. They are arranged together to form a straight line.

I am the end of that straight line.

I felt a chill in my heart and closed my eyes almost subconsciously.

Those strange sights disappeared from my eyes. Without their interference, I felt the gaze falling on me.

The hairs on my back stood up and I could feel sweat dripping down the back of my neck.

That gaze disappeared quickly.

Ye Zhengyi's voice came to my ears.

This time I understood clearly, Ye Zhengyi was cursing loudly.

I was startled again, but opened my eyes.

Everything in the field of vision is normal. As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw a furious Ye Zhengyi in the rearview mirror.

"...I want you to stop thinking about that. Why are you seeking death? What on earth are you thinking about? Just thinking about dying, is it all over?" Ye Zhengyi was very dissatisfied.

I rubbed my forehead and said, "I don't want this either."

Before I even understood what I was seeing, I received a blow.

The changes in Nangong Yao's abilities were something I didn't expect. The timing was too coincidental. I could clearly feel that the moment communication was restored, my spirit relaxed. Perhaps it is for this reason that Nangong Yao's ability is out of control...

No, it shouldn't be because of me.

I suddenly thought of Ye Qing.

Regardless of my abilities, or the abilities of Qingye and others, they are actually controlled by Ye Qing. At least, he has the ability to transcend others and can use it more freely than us actual ability users.

At that moment, it was not me who was relaxed, but Ye Qing.

I looked at my phone and saw only a very normal notification to resume communication.

Is there anything else wrong here?

Ye Zhengyi is still resentful.

Yao Nie asked in confusion: "What are you two doing? What have you been talking about since before?"

Ye Zheng rolled his eyes at him, "Stop pretending to be stupid. I told you all."

Yao Nie put on a sincere face, "What did you say?"

"Is this the turn?" Xu Tiancheng interrupted.

I came back to my senses and nodded to Xu Tiancheng, "Well, turn this way..."

The phone rang, startling me.

I looked at the phone screen and saw a call from Chen Yihan.

This name is also beyond my expectation. With what happened just now, I hesitated when I looked at the caller ID.

There was no response from the mark of Mencet on my palm, but I still picked up the phone.

"Bureau Chen." I called out and got Chen Yihan's answer. Listening to the sound, there is no problem. I used Gu Mo's ability and didn't hear any strange noises from the other end of the phone.

Some thoughts flashed through my mind, but I didn't catch them immediately.

"...Lynch?"

"Huh? Sorry. What did you just say?" I temporarily put aside my strange thoughts and focused my attention on Chen Yihan again.

"You remember Muge, right? You asked me to investigate before."

"Well, yes. He..." I remembered this.

The world has been restored to its original state by me, but I am not sure whether Muge was captured by the courier ghost or fell into the hands of other ghost kings. I am also a little worried about Mu Ai's safety.

There was undisguised anger in Chen Yihan's voice.

"The person was found." He said coldly, "He was found in a rented room. He had several telephone numbers and a set of contact books at hand. Some people in the country and some people abroad."

I heard Chen Yihan's sneer and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It's really easy for people with abilities to control people." Chen Yihan said, "It only takes a few phone calls to interrupt communication."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but be stunned.

I blurted out: "This is impossible! His ability is already -" My throat suddenly seemed to be pinched by a hand, and I asked with difficulty: "Where is Mu Ai?"

"Right next to him. He committed suicide. His daughter died of cerebral hemorrhage." Chen Yihan answered.

I clenched my fists.

"The contact book contains not only the contact information of communication companies in various countries, but also other things. Judging from the notes... this should be a tacit understanding. The tacit understanding of the supernatural circle." Chen Yihan said, "But they don't have enough manpower now. . This matter is very troublesome now..."

I couldn't understand Chen Yihan's words for a while.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a car slowly stopping. Xu Tiancheng parked the car on the side of the road and looked directly at me.

An idea flashed in my mind, and I turned to look at Ye Zhengyi.

I suddenly felt a chill in my heart.

"They are finished. The question is, how to deal with the aftermath." Chen Yihan said, "Some of the people who are still alive have confessed everything. But they don't know much. This should be the default rule in the supernatural circle. It’s been circulating for who knows how many years.”

I asked, "Do you mean to just let them be like this? Except for the ability users, all of them should have lost their spells. There are also ability users... The Ghost King is dealing with the ability users."

"This is the crux. Ordinary people have no way to deal with the Ghost King. And they..." Chen Yihan did not continue.

"I need to think about it." I said bitterly and hung up the phone, still staring at Ye Zhengyi.

"What's wrong?" Xu Tiancheng broke the solemn atmosphere.

I asked Ye Zhengyi: "Answer me honestly, are there any of you... No, it's a supernatural circle. How do you cooperate with governments of various countries?"

Ye Zhengyi raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Are you still from the government?"
