Fu Yu Shen felt like crying as his gaze turned to the ghost, now that Song Yan has said it, he felt like the ghost was really looking at him. " And w..what happens when you lock eyes with them?"

" They will cling onto you," said Song Yan shaking off Fu Yu Shen\'s hand that was grasping her clutch. " Ghosts are lonely beings, to them human locking eyes with them is equivalent to them accepting their existence, right now when you looked at his face, you looked him in the eyes, even if …" she smiled. " They are not there."

Thunder struck Fu Yu Shen causing his entire body to stiffen as he stared at Song Yan, hoping that she was lying but when he caught the amusement flickering in her eyes, he understood at once that she was speaking the truth. Or else she wouldn\'t be looking so happy —— this smile was something he was very familiar with, after all, he too looked at Song Yan with the same expression when he bullied her.

" You kn..knew, didn\'t you?" Fu Yu Shen asked after thinking through everything that just happened to him. Though she was the one who misunderstood her, she was the one who egged him to go and catch the \'adulterer\' and this was the reason why he was in this mess. He straightened up and stared at Song Yan with a shocked and blaming expression. " You knew that this man was a gh..ghost and one that would start haunting me, if I was to lock eyes with him, right?"

" Looks like you are not as stupid as I thought," said Song Yan staring at him with a condescending expression. " You are right, I knew that he was a ghost but you were the one who stupidly walked to a being that was standing on the pavement in the middle of the night, didn\'t your parents tell you that you shouldn\'t approach anyone when you see them standing alone?"

" I…I …" there was nothing Fu Yu Shen could say except mutter \'I\' causing Song Yan\'s lips to quirk up.  " You were the one who is to blame for the predicament you are in, there is nothing I can do about it."

Fu YU Shen for the first time in his life felt like he has picked up a stone and thrown it on his foot, she was right. It was him who approached the ghost, if only he hadn\'t doubted Song Yan and just let her be then he wouldn\'t be in this predicament and now, he was in trouble with another ghost like he needed it.

" E..Eyes..give me back my eyes…" a raspy voice rang out in the clearing all of a sudden and then Fu Yu Shen saw something even scarier happening, the ghost that was standing behind him stretched out his hands and cupped his face. Fu Yu Shen\'s entire body turned icy cold as he sensed the hands of the ghost sticking to his face, it wasn\'t a pleasant sensation. It was as if someone was sticking cold hooks to his face and dragging them on his skin. " My e..eyes …my ey..eyes…"

The croaky, hoarse voice nearly caused Fu Yu Shen to turn deaf, it was loud and screechy causing his ears to almost bleed.  " S...Stop …St...Stop.."

The man didn\'t stop nor did he listen to a thing that Fu Yu Shen said, ignoring his struggles, the man dug his thumbs inside his eye sockets as if he really wanted to dig his eyes out.

" My...My E..ye..eyes.."

Fu Yu Shen thought he was going to die, the pain was simply unbearable. This was his end, he thought inwardly but just as he was prepared to lose his life, he felt the claws on his face loosen up followed by a loud bang, stunned he opened his eyes and the first thing he did was to check whether his eyes were strapped tight in his sockets or not and when he saw that they were, he heaved a sigh of relief before looking up at the ghost that was digging his eyes out but what he saw made his legs give out under his knees.

​ In front of him carrying a six feet long scythe in hand was Song Yan and in front of her was the ghost that was trying to dig his eyes out.

" You should have run away when I was being nice," said Song Yan carefully running a finger on the blade of her scythe. " But you just have to take my silence as my weakness, right?" Her smile widened before she tilted her head. " I will show you that underestimating me." With that, she swung her scythe with a flick of her wrist —— the eyeless ghost was slashed from the waist up and Fu Yu Shen watched as the man that has been standing fine and upright, crumble into ashes as soon as Song Yan\'s scythe touched him.

Song Yan peered down at the ashes that were on the ground and snorted. " People just don\'t appreciate when I am being nice."

Flicking the scythe up, she summoned it back—— the scythe rolled twice in the air before it changed itself back into the ring and fell back in Song Yan\'s hands. And as cool as a cucumber, she put it back on her finger before turning around to look at Fu Yu Shen who was on the sidewalk and said, " You owe me five hundred thousand dollars make sure to pay."
