“Eyes…?”
The several people in the room looked toward Chen Junnan, their expressions filled with suspicion.
“That’s right!”
“Tsk, ‘eyes’ count as a weakness…?” Zhou Liu pondered for a moment. “That doesn’t make sense… Could it be that all this time, no one has ever attacked ‘Xuanwu’s’ eyes?”
“Let me tell you, really let me tell you.” Chen Junnan grinned mischievously. “Guess who has the biggest guts in the entire ‘Land of the End’?”
After hearing this, Zhou Liu sighed. “Tsk, I think all three of you have pretty big guts.”
“Well, you’re wrong about that. Among the three of us, my courage ranks third, after all I often get confused when things happen,” Chen Junnan said with a laugh. “Old Qiao gets intermittently confused, while Old Qi never gets confused.”
After hearing this, Jiang Ruoxue was also a bit confused. “Calabash Brother Young Master Confused Brother, weren’t you talking about who has the most courage… what does this have to do with being confused or not?”
“Jiang Da Jie… why are you even giving me a title, are you deifying me here?”
“You won’t admit that you’re called Chen Junnan, so don’t I have to bestow you a name?” Jiang Ruoxue replied.
“Fine, since Jiang Jie has spoken, then today I’ll be the Great Emperor of Confusion,” Chen Junnan said. “If you ask me what relationship there is between ‘being bold’ and ‘being confused,’ then I can only tell you that sometimes I’m often scared by this ghost place until my brain goes completely blank, but some people are really strange. No matter how absurd the situation is, not only do they not get confused, they can even come up with solutions for you.”
“You’re talking about Qi Xia…?”
“Exactly.” Chen Junnan nodded. “Old Qi said before that he once used a knife to leave countless holes in ‘Xuanwu’s’ body, and even inserted the knife into the other party’s eye, yet the other party never died. I ask myself, if I were to fight ‘Xuanwu’ one-on-one… I would be constantly confused, and Old Qiao might be intermittently confused. Only Old Qi could be so decisive.”
“Isn’t this contradictory?” Jiang Ruoxue said. “You just said ‘Xuanwu’s’ weakness is the ‘eyes,’ but if Qi Xia has already tried it, doesn’t that mean it’s useless?”
“Tsk, I think so too,” Zhou Liu said. “There are plenty of bold madmen in the ‘Land of the End.’ Surely someone has tried attacking ‘Xuanwu’s’ eyes all this time.”
“First, I need to clarify something…” Chen Junnan said. “Right now, the only thing that can be confirmed is that ‘eyes’ are indeed the weakness of many upper-level beings here, but under normal circumstances, ‘eyes’ doesn’t refer to their own eyes.”
Chen Junnan casually picked up a pen from the table and gestured with it in his hand.
“Old Qi once left wounds on ‘Xuanwu’s’ body, but ‘Xuanwu’ also severely injured Old Qi at that moment, ultimately leading to his death. This shows that the two of them were facing each other at the time… This means Xuanwu’s ‘eyes’ are not on the front, but somewhere else.”
After hearing this, Jiang Ruoxue and Zhou Liu both blinked, and even Yun Shijiu on the side was a bit confused.
“Do you want to hear what you’re saying…?” Jiang Ruoxue asked. “The ‘eyes’ aren’t on the front… can they be on the back?”
“Why can’t they be on the back?!” Chen Junnan said with certainty. “Do you still remember what that crazy woman looks like…? Her hair is especially long, long enough to wear as clothing, but why does she need such long hair to cover her back?”
“You…” Jiang Ruoxue was stunned for a few seconds before saying again, “Have you ever seen anyone with eyes on their back…?”
“It’s precisely because I’ve seen it… that’s why I’m saying this…” Chen Junnan said. “Jiang Da Jie, you don’t even know… After that white-skinned snake took off his clothes… his back was covered with ‘eyes’!”
“White-skinned snake…” Jiang Ruoxue pondered for a moment, feeling that this description was somewhat familiar.
Chen Junnan struck while the iron was hot and told everyone about how “eyes” could be “implanted” in the body.
After hearing this, Zhou Liu’s expression changed several times. It must be said that the intelligence Chen Junnan brought this time was very crucial.
This way it seemed to make sense. No wonder those “Divine Beasts” possessed abilities from “Participants” and could have many kinds simultaneously. The reason was precisely because somewhere on their bodies grew eyes belonging to “Participants.”
“Tsk…” Zhou Liu paused. “In other words, to truly kill the ‘Divine Beasts,’ we need to find the ‘eyes’ and destroy them…”
“Exactly!” Chen Junnan said. “Doesn’t this problem solve itself? Think about it carefully. If we can blind the ‘eyes’ on their bodies, won’t these people become ordinary people?”
Zhou Liu nodded with a serious expression. “Tsk, indeed very useful information. Tell me the ‘eye position map.’ This time you’ve really helped a lot. ‘Cat’ will remember this favor.”
“Wh-what map?” Chen Junnan blinked.
“The eye-eye position map…” Zhou Liu looked at Chen Junnan puzzled. “Tsk, like where exactly these ‘Divine Beasts’ eyes are located and such…”
“Hey, Zhou Mo Jie, aren’t you just teasing me…” Chen Junnan smiled awkwardly. “If I knew something like an ‘eye position map’… wouldn’t I be chased and beaten by these ‘Divine Beasts’ every day…?”
“Tsk, you…” Zhou Mo slowly widened her eyes. “No way… You, this great genius, sounded like you revealed some useful information, but thinking about it carefully, it’s completely useless… That’s fucking ‘Xuanwu’! Are we supposed to lift her hair and look at her back?”
“Hey hey hey! Don’t ask me!” Chen Junnan said hastily. “You guys combine your skills and see if there’s any combination technique like ‘Ten Thousand Arrows Fired Together.’ Wouldn’t it be great to just stick Xuanwu full of them?”
“Tsk! Stop fucking spouting nonsense…” Zhou Liu said. “You really think ‘Xuanwu’ is a scarecrow…? Will she stand there turning in circles letting us stab her?!”
“You…” Chen Junnan waved his hand. “Then go think of a way! Zhou Mo Jie! Isn’t this the responsibility of you ‘Cats’?!”
After hearing this, Zhou Mo’s eyes darkened as she stared at Chen Junnan and said, “Tsk, great genius, say that again. Whose responsibility?”
“Uh…” Chen Junnan choked. “I-I mean… I can also think of ways together!”
“Wait a moment…” After hearing this, Jiang Ruoxue paused slightly and interrupted the two.
“What’s wrong, Jiang Da Jie?”
“Does every ‘Divine Beast’ have ‘eyes’…?” She rubbed her forehead somewhat puzzled. “Why do I feel there are exceptions…?”
“How so?”
Jiang Ruoxue organized her thoughts and said, “‘Xuanwu,’ ‘Baihu,’ even ‘Qinglong’… thinking about them this way, there’s no problem, after all those extra ‘eyes’ on their bodies might be hidden by hair or concealed under clothes… but what about ‘Zhu Que’?”
As soon as the words fell, the image of ‘Zhu Que’ floated into Chen Junnan and Zhou Mo’s minds—that emaciated man who was completely naked from head to toe.
