“What?”
In Fang Li’s room, Tohno Shiki stood up from his position and looked at Fang Li sitting on the opposite bed with eyes full of astonishment and surprise.
Fang Li had just confessed something to Tohno Shiki.
“You… you mean…” Tohno Shiki said, extremely surprised and uncertain, “You can also see ‘Lines’ like me?”
“If you’re referring to those graffiti-like ‘Lines’ that can easily cut through and cause things to break and spread all over any substance around,” Fang Li said, “then yes, I can see those ‘Lines.'”
With that, Fang Li stood up.
His eyes, a pair of ice blue Mystic Eyes, appeared.
“…!”
Seeing this scene, Tohno Shiki’s heart tightened.
However, before Tohno Shiki could react, Fang Li said to him with such a request.
“Take off your glasses.”
Hearing these words, Tohno Shiki couldn’t help but hesitate.
Unlike Fang Li, who was indifferent even in a world where everything around him could die with a touch, Tohno Shiki was quite normal.
Therefore, Tohno Shiki simply didn’t want to look at this shabby world.
If he stared at this world for too long, he would definitely become abnormal.
But when he saw Fang Li staring at him calmly with a pair of ice-blue Mystic Eyes, Tohno Shiki also felt a rare sense of finding someone who shared his condition.
For Tohno Shiki, who could only endure the effects of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, this feeling was truly precious.
So Tohno Shiki began to compromise.
“Just for a moment…”
With that, Tohno Shiki took off his glasses.
The next moment, graffiti-like lines began to appear in Tohno Shiki’s world.
However, unlike Fang Li, Tohno Shiki’s eyes did not change to an ice blue color.
Due to his specialization, Tohno Shiki’s Mystic Eyes did not change color; they only turned ice blue when he focused his mind to read the death of things.
When they first met at school, the mention of the surname “Nanaya” had triggered a slight reaction in Tohno Shiki, causing his Mystic Eyes to unconsciously activate.
Otherwise, if Tohno Shiki had the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, there would have been no conflict between his Mystic Eyes and Fang Li’s Mystic Eyes.
After all, who would randomly read the death of someone’s eyes?
Therefore, even if Fang Li and Tohno Shiki looked at each other at the same time now, there was no reaction like before.
Otherwise, Fang Li would have had many such experiences in the training grounds of the Main God’s Dimension and in the space of his soul.
Of course, not reading the death of the eyes did not mean not reading the death of humans.
At that moment, in Tohno Shiki’s field of vision, crack-like lines appeared on Fang Li’s body.
In this situation, Fang Li began to gesture on his own body, pointing out several death lines.
“Can you see the ‘lines’ here, here, and here?”
Seeing this, Tohno Shiki was once again astonished.
“Y-yes, I can see the ‘Lines’ at these positions,” Tohno Shiki said hastily to Fang Li, “How did you know?”
“Because the ‘Lines’ we see are the same,” Fang Li shrugged his shoulders and said, “You said you had a car accident when you were a child and were saved from near death, and that’s how you came to possess this pair of eyes, right?”
“Yes,” Tohno Shiki nodded and asked, “Is it the same for you?”
—
“Indeed.” Fang Li smiled sarcastically and said, “Actually, I had a car accident.
However, in that car accident, Fang Li didn’t come close to death, he actually died.
Then, Fang Li was chosen by the Main God’s Dimension, resurrected, and became a Divine Envoy.
“If you want to gain this pair of eyes, having a near-death experience is one of the requirements.” Fang Li said, “Of course, not everyone can gain these eyes in a situation of great danger and immortality.
It has to be someone who has the inherent ability to awaken these eyes, and only then can it be achieved.
For example, Fang Li’s soul can automatically record death, and he inherently possesses the ability to awaken the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, which he only gains after experiencing death.
Similarly, Ryougi Shiki is directly connected to the Root and can understand the concept of death from it, awakening the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception only after a near-death experience.
Tohno Shiki is the same.
As a direct descendant of the Nanaya Clan, Tohno Shiki is also special.
However, compared to Fang Li and Ryougi Shiki, who have souls that can record death and connect to all things through the Root, Tohno Shiki’s uniqueness is much less.
“In other words, half of the reason you received these eyes is due to chance. Precisely because of this, your eyes should be somewhat different from mine, specialized to adapt to your own uniqueness.”
Fang Li stared at Tohno Shiki and said.
“Concentrate your mind and look at me, see what you can see.”
After hearing Fang Li’s words, Tohno Shiki nodded silently and stared at Fang Li.
At that moment, Tohno Shiki’s eyes finally flashed with an ice-blue light, turning into ice-blue Mystic Eyes.
This was a testament to his concentration as he looked straight at death.
“Eh?”
The next second, Tohno Shiki made an uncharacteristic sound.
Because Tohno Shiki saw it.
On Fang Li’s body, within the crack-like ‘lines’, ‘dots’ appeared one after another.
It was like knots and holes connected to blood vessels that appeared in one corner of the ‘line’.
“This is…”
Tohno Shiki was astonished for who knows how many times.
This time, the reason for his astonishment was simpler.
This was the first time that Tohno Shiki had used those eyes to see something other than the ‘Lines’.
Seeing Tohno Shiki like this, Fang Li smiled indifferently.
“You really can see ‘dots’ that I cannot?”
This is the point of death.
Once hit, it can kill the existence itself.
“Ugh…”
Suddenly, Tohno Shiki covered his head and looked somewhat nauseous.
Fang Li noticed this behavior as well.
“It seems like it’s too much for you to keep watching such scenes.”
Saying this, Fang Li handed Tohno Shiki his glasses.
In an instant, the ice-blue Mystic Eyes disappeared from Tohno Shiki’s eyes.
All that remained were these words.
“When I first arrived here, someone told me that I was very similar to you.
“But now it seems that we’re still different.”
This time, Tohno Shiki couldn’t understand Fang Li’s words.
The only thing he could understand was one thing.
That the person in front of him was even less able to fit into the world and be understood than he was.
