See the Law of Deception

Chapter 8 Summoning Ghosts (7)

Most of his vision was occupied by the overhead operating lights, the doctor, and other instruments. Only at the edge of his vision could Lu Jinchao see a blurry figure.

There should only be one doctor, one nurse, the patient, and Jiang Yingzhi who came in to supervise and protect her in the entire operating room.

Is it dazzled?
What damage did the doctor cause to her eye, allowing her to see a foreign object, because she requested a quick surgery?
Or perhaps the transplanted corneas from a deceased person are already working?
Lu Jinzhao felt a chill in his heart. He wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't control himself.

She seemed to be trapped in a dream, unable to exert any strength.

anaesthetization?

Or is it for some other reason?
Jiang Yingzhi's lack of action indicates that, in her view, there are currently no abnormalities in the surgery.

Lu Jinzhao suppressed his anxiety and tried to keep his attention on the dark figure at the very edge of his field of vision.

About half a minute has passed since it suddenly appeared, but Lu Jinzhao still can't see what it looks like.

It could only be vaguely made out that it was a human figure.

He stood motionless, like a statue, beside the operating table.

Even though he couldn't see its eyes, Lu Jinzhao felt...
—It is looking at itself.

A cold, rigid gaze fell upon her, sending shivers down her spine.

The mechanical operation of the machine, the occasional doctor's voice reminding the nurses, all seemed to others to be just another surgery going smoothly.

Apart from Lu Jinzhao, no one noticed the dark figure.

What should I do?
Just as Lu Jinzhao was frantically racking his brains for a solution, the dark figure suddenly swayed slightly.

Lu Jinzhao felt a chill run down his spine and immediately became tense.

The swaying was very subtle, like someone who had been standing for a long time and felt uncomfortable moving slightly.

If you don't look closely, it's hard to even notice this curve.

But Lu Jinzhao couldn't possibly not look closely. She was lying there, risking her life to perform this surgery, so she would pay attention to any slight movement.

After a pause of about ten seconds, the blurry, black figure swayed slightly again.

Lu Jinzhao could hear her own heartbeat quickening.

Because she realized that it wasn't a meaningless shaking; with each of the two swaying motions, the figure seemed to get closer to her.

It was already standing next to the operating table, and now it is slowly bending down.

It's getting close.

"What is it going to do?"

Lu Jinzhao felt that her palms should be sweating, but she couldn't even clench her fists or wipe the sweat from her palms.

"The surgery must be stopped."

The ghostly thing was standing right next to her operating table. Jiang Yingzhi and the others didn't react at all. It seemed that the ritual had been successful and she was starting to "see ghosts".

As he pondered, the ghostly figure bent down a little more, its outline no longer blurry, but gradually becoming clearer.

Lu Jinzhao's heart skipped a beat.

She realized she couldn't let it get any closer!
If her intuition was correct, the black ghostly figure had been watching her since the beginning.

But she couldn't see it clearly, and perhaps it couldn't see her clearly either.

It bent down little by little, just to see more clearly!
Lu Jinzhao dared not imagine what would happen once he saw it clearly.

Jiang Yingzhi should be reminded that she hasn't yet realized that something unusual has already happened.

The ghostly figure drew closer, and a chilling aura enveloped it as it approached. With each breath, Lu Jinzhao smelled the putrid stench of a corpse.

Without considering anything else, that shadow in front of you is definitely a ghost!

"Move quickly, even just making a sound would be good, to give Jiang Yingzhi a signal." Lu Jinzhao urged anxiously in her heart. She was doing her best to ignore the fear caused by her first close encounter with a ghost, and to keep her brain calm in order to give commands to her body.

Hurry up, get moving!

Before its rotten, decaying face came close to itself!

The adrenaline released by fear and tension takes effect, and under intense stimulation, the body, which was originally out of control,...

First, her originally steady breathing gradually became rapid. Under the doctor's questioning gaze, Lu Jinzhao's lips slowly opened, and then, with difficulty, she vibrated her vocal cords and made a faint sound.

The instant she spoke.

The ghostly figure that had been slowly approaching suddenly bent over!
The putrid wind blew onto Lu Jinzhao's face as it moved, and almost instantly, Lu Jinzhao's survival instinct kicked in!

She suddenly raised her previously weak hand and quickly covered her eyes, even pushing the doctor's hand away!
Hey! What are you doing?!

She heard the doctor's disgruntled exclamation, but she ignored it all. At that moment, Lu Jinzhao was focused on only one thing.

I didn't see it.

Great.

Lu Jinzhao breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, perhaps the effects of the anesthesia began to wear off, or perhaps it was the influence of that strange thing, she began to feel a sharp pain in her eyes, so intense that she couldn't help but cry out.

"Oh dear, look at you! I was stitching you up, and now it's ruined, it's definitely torn!"

The doctor sighed and quickly said, "It's your own fault, don't blame me."

At this moment, Lu Jinzhao could no longer hear what he was saying. The burning pain in her eyes was making her lose her mind. Jiang Yingzhi noticed her abnormal behavior and quickly walked over.

"What happened? Did something go wrong?"

Lu Jinzhao covered her eyes with her hands, and blood flowed out between her fingers.

Upon seeing this, the doctor immediately fell silent, hesitated for a moment, and then asked in confusion, "How could there be so much blood?"

Even if something goes wrong during corneal surgery, there shouldn't be such a large amount of bleeding!
"Never mind that, doctor, please remove the stuff from my eye first."

Lu Jinzhao didn't dare to let go immediately. She endured the pain and had the doctor remove the fixation bandage from her brain. She struggled to sit up from the operating table, turned around, and faced away from the reaction of the dark figure. Only then did she slowly lower her hand and tentatively open her eyes.

No.

She dared not turn around, dared not look to see if the ghostly figure was still there.

She was afraid that if she turned around, she would see a ghostly face pressed against her back.

"You!"

The doctor looked at her with a hint of surprise and uncertainty in his tone, and even Jiang Yingzhi gasped.

Lu Jinzhao didn't know what they had seen, but she could feel the blood flowing from her eyes down her chin.

"Don't waste your time, hurry up, I won't cause you any trouble, just take it off and I'm leaving."

Upon hearing this, the doctor immediately stepped forward: "Alright, alright, you said it yourself."

Jiang Yingzhi approached discreetly, cautiously surveying her surroundings, but still found nothing.

She realized that, without her noticing, Lu Jinzhao had probably just gone through a brush with death.

But what she didn't know was that Lu Jinzhao's current condition was far worse than it appeared.

Besides the burning pain in both eyes, one eye is now completely blind.

Unfortunately, the eye that went blind was the one that hadn't undergone surgery.

It's like some kind of curse; the eye that was bleeding even after the cornea of ​​a dead person was replaced is now able to see.
