Leon's 771st First Book

Zhang Han got a tattoo.

Three days later, the baby in the tattoo started wriggling and smiled at him.

Yang Jian rushed to the tattoo parlor. The owner lay dead on the floor, but the tattoo on his neck had disappeared.

Thirty-five human skins hung on the wall, each bearing the tattoo of a ghost.

Scissors, a door, a mirror, a candle, an eye, a shadow, a hand...

One of the eyes was identical to the ghost eye on the back of his hand.

The Gatekeeper sat up from the pile of human skins. The eye tattoo on his neck opened.

“You have four eyes on you. You still need five more.”

“Collect them all, and you'll become the Wish Ghost.”

“Your father, Yang Xiaotian, code-named Nightmare, spent seven days here.”

“After he got out, the Wish Ghost set its sights on him.”

“The day he died, what he saw was you in the future.”

Yang Jian touched the coffin nail in his pocket.

The nail that had once been driven into the Starving Ghost was now frighteningly hot.

He pushed open the door.

Beyond it was fog.

There was someone in the fog.

Zhao Kaiming sat on a throne, smiling at him.

“Welcome to my world.”

“Every time you use a ghost eye, you come one step closer to me.”

“Every eye you take brings you closer to becoming me.”

“One day, we'll be family.”

Yang Jian tightened his grip on the coffin nail.

His ghost hand trembled, his ghost eyes throbbed, and the ghost shadow twisted behind him.

Nine eyes, nine abilities.

Once he had them all...

Would he still be Yang Jian?
