Chapter 5, Opening the Eye of the Market

However, if your relatives or yourself have had some contact with the strange beasts, such as being attacked or touched, it makes you aware that there are some bizarre and abnormal existences in this world, even if it is a deep level of contact

He continued, "However, this kind of awakening is merely an ordinary awakening, capable only of perceiving the superficial aspects of the world, and the visual range is quite limited. In the case of thick fog enveloping the entire city, one can only see a vague outline at a distance of seven or eight meters, unless one is at home, where the fog can be cleared away."

Suya is quite unfortunate, as she witnessed the appearance of the market with her own eyes. Therefore, she must return to the bureau, both for her duties and for observation.

"Thank you, Brother Ye," Xu Shen quickly expressed his gratitude

28,304 Luke coins

How are you? Do you still remember me

Ye Shou immediately grasped Xu Shen's arm, "There are no guide ropes here, I will lead you. Once you have stabilized your emotions, the bureau will assist you in opening the market eye, and at that time, you will be able to see."

However, the boy in front of me, who appears to be four or five years younger than him, displays a relatively calm demeanor. Given his unique physical condition, with proper nurturing, he may achieve significant accomplishments in the future

Xu Shen inquired with curiosity

He knew that suddenly losing a close relative and then being exposed to the true nature of these worlds would cause an ordinary person to feel overwhelmed and struggle to adapt; he himself had felt this way at the beginning

Ye Shou saw that Xu Shen was feeling down, so he patted him on the shoulder and said with a light laugh: "Don't be so gloomy. Since there is no choice, just enjoy it to the fullest. Although our combat department is a bit dangerous, prone to casualties, and has frequent personnel changes, as long as you put in a little more effort, with your qualifications, it is quite hopeful that you can live to the age of the captain."

Xu Shen did not know

Xu Shen fell silent for a moment and said: "What if one insists on not joining?" and *illustration* book

Ye Shou's voice carried a hint of longing and envy

Observing, Xu Shen was filled with doubt

Uh... I am about ten meters away. " Ye Shou lightly coughed and humorously remarked, " Once you are more than ten meters away, you become unrecognizable to your own kin.

Is it like this for oneself now

Including the ability to see the market

Yet strangely, he is able to see the ruins hidden deep within the realm of desolation

Xu Shen has settled down in the Operations Department

... ...

However, although it is not normal, it is a very good seedling for our combat department... He silently thought to himself

Ye Shou led Xu Shen into the Operations Department, introducing him to various areas of the department, including the library, entertainment and relaxation area, training area, staff dormitory, and so on

He has left" Ye Shou waved his hand

"Come with me, let's talk as we walk," Ye Shou said to Xu Shen

Moreover, the interference from the dense fog at the market eye is relatively low, allowing for clear visibility even several meters away. The stronger the market force, the farther one can see. For instance, the captain can clearly see objects dozens of meters away, even small flying insects

The premise is to be able to live on... Ye Shouxin silently added a phrase in his heart

Ye Shou led Xu Shen across the road to the other side

Xu Shen had previously heard the two recorders mention this and hesitated, saying: "Can I not join?"

The cost of gaining insight is exceedingly high; for the average person living in obscurity, even being on the same street as influential figures feels like being in two different worlds. Therefore, the desire to gain insight is essentially akin to a pie falling from the sky.

I thought that leaving home would bring salvation

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed

Ye Shou glanced at Xu Shen and said: "Someone like you, although you are unaware that the mother beside you has long been replaced, and you have never seen the appearance of the market, you have consumed the things fed by the market, and your body has been permeated by the power of the market and the illustrations, which is even more exaggerated than deep contact, can no longer be considered a normal person."

His understanding of the market is still at the stage of just being introduced to "common knowledge," and he can only explore it further in the future

Xu Shen followed him with a heavy heart, and his mood could not be described as merely bad; it could only be said to be extremely poor

... ...

As the two individuals left the entrance of the Humanities Department, Xu Shen noticed a similar sign for the Bureau of Mysteries across the street. However, behind the door stood a towering and massive structure, in stark contrast to the mere four-story height of the Administrative Department behind them

Thus, she was involved in the Beast Incident, and after her family allocated some financial resources, she was transferred to our administrative department, where she only needs to perform some safe clerical work

It seems you are very strong, Ye Shou remarked

I am somewhat similar... Xu Shen thought to himself, feeling a hint of confusion. According to the other party's statement, the stronger the market force, the farther one can see, and likewise, the deeper the market realm that can be perceived.

After all, having seen the appearance of the market with her own eyes, even if it seems uneventful for the time being, no one knows whether she might suddenly lose her sanity or become delirious and start proclaiming everywhere in a while

But now he can see, and this blind chess has lost its enjoyment.

The market eye we are about to open can not only perceive the surface of the world but also, through the infusion of market energy, glimpse the shallow layers of the market realm, as well as the market that wanders between the shallow layers of the market realm and reality

But that captain looks to be only in his thirties... Xu Shen silently complained in his heart, suddenly feeling that what "Mom" said was indeed very true, the outside world is indeed very dangerous

What is a market eye ... ... ?

Ye Shou supported Xu Shen and said: "Although you are a mist dweller, you should know that some people are born with dual vision, right? Those are the prominent figures in the inner city. As for mist dwellers like us, if we are fortunate and have good connections, or if we are favored by a major company, we also have the opportunity to gain sight later on"

There seems to be no significant reduction; it appears that the personnel from the inspection office have not been slacking off in this regard

Do you remember ...? ... Aren't you that Xiao Ye? Xu Shen silently glanced over and said, "The voice sounds a bit familiar, is it that gentleman from before?"

Xu Shen suddenly asked, "Then how far can you see?"

This is a form of self-protection

Come, go downstairs, here is the staircase

At this moment, everyone else has gone to train. Once you open your eyes, you will also join them in training. For today, you should take some time to rest, " Ye Shou said to Xu Shen.

"Let's go, I will take you to your residence first. You can rest for two days, and once the bureau makes the arrangements, they will grant you access to the market," Ye Shou said with a smile.

Xu Shen allowed him to lead, walking slowly and tentatively. Although he could see clearly now, his childhood lack of security, combined with the unfamiliar environment, led him to choose disguise and silence

During this period, items from my home were sent over by personnel from the administrative department. In fact, there was nothing of significant value inside, just a few pieces of old clothing that had not been stained with blood due to being ill-fitting, and several blind chess sets for recreational play.

This is also the reason why the captain ordered Xu Shen to be brought back

The operations department is severely understaffed

Then why did the previous captain not notice the stray in his own bedroom

Ye Shouyi was taken aback for a moment, then sighed. He could understand the boy's thoughts and said: "Indeed, fighting against the Ruins is very dangerous. Among the people here, aside from a small number who still persist in seeking revenge for their loved ones, the majority, even those who initially harbored hatred, have wanted to withdraw after witnessing the true nature of the Ruins.

He directly brought Xu Shen to the staff dormitory, where each room is a single room, with one room for each person

The operations department is just across the street; once you open your eyes to the market, you will know. It is much larger than the civilian affairs department!

They are aware that they will join the Secret Bureau, fearing that they might encounter trouble in the future... Xu Shen let out a quiet sigh, thinking of his bleak life ahead, and couldn't help but shake his head, putting away his savings.

He glanced at Xu Shen and said, "The two of you who are recording the files for you today, that lady is named Su Ya, from the inner city. She has had her eyesight since birth. They say this is called having good genes, but all I know is that this is called having good fortune"

Ye Shou slightly nodded, glanced at him, and said: "Considering the depth of involvement, for instance, when we are fighting against the Xushou beasts, even if you are right beside me, if the battle does not affect you and you remain completely unaware, merely a passerby, then it can be regarded as a superficial level of contact"

We are in the lower city, where most of us are fog dwellers, lacking the right to choose, unlike those guys in the civil service department. Although they are embroiled in the beast incident, they either have money or power behind them, leaving them with options.

Then it can only be imprisonment, until it feels 'normal'... Ye Shou slightly shrugged, glancing at Xu Shen, with an expression that seemed to say, if it weren't for my fear of this, do you think I would still be here?

Seeing Xu Shen in a low mood, somewhat absent-minded, Ye Shou thought that the boy had just learned of the death of a close relative today, and likely had no interest in going out, so he decided not to take him for a stroll, as there would be plenty of opportunities in the future

Unfortunately

Ye Shou smiled and said, "If it weren't for the Fog People, who would stay in the Operations Department of the Secret Bureau?"

If that is the case, and I have already opened it myself, can I open it again? Will it be noticed?

If there are not enough blankets or if you are missing something else, just inform the dormitory supervisor. Additionally, I have arranged for the clean items that can be used at home and in the library to be packed and collected by the inspection office. Later, I will have someone from the administrative department help you retrieve them, and you can choose what you need.

This amount of money is sufficient for him to sustain himself for over ten years, as long as he does not fall ill

The distance he is observing is not far, does it imply that his ability is similar to that of the current leaf guardian?

In addition, there is also the money he has saved with his mother over the years

But now, he is more concerned that he may not live that long

The unfortunate fellow who was visited last night is going to open his eyes the day after tomorrow... Xu Shen retracted his thoughts for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Are you also a fog dweller?"

Who knows that they have jumped into a larger cage

It seems that you have a good memory, indeed, my name is Ye Shou

Xu Shenwei was taken aback and asked, "If one is involved in the incident with the Xushou beasts, must they join the Xumi Bureau? Then does that mean everyone here... has had contact with the Xushou beasts?"

... ...

Is this the effect of what "Mom" has fed?

Good

Sighing again, he spoke

Early on the third day, the door of Xu Shen's dormitory was knocked on, and he received a notification

Moreover, the information obtained today from that young woman also confirmed that his approach was correct

From now on, you will be a member of our Operations Department. Once you pass the assessment for the reserves, we will be comrades fighting side by side in the future. So, give it your best effort.

Ye Shouwen looked gently at the boy who had just suffered such a great calamity, then glanced up at the two colleagues from the administrative department who had accompanied him to the door. After inquiring with his eyes and receiving an answer, he said to Xu Shen: "They have already told you, right, the true situation"

The young man waiting outside the records room smiled at Xu Shen, who walked out from inside. Although he knew Xu Shen could not see him, he still instinctively expressed his emotions.

Counted

Hmm," Xu Shen responded in a low voice
