"Eight-armed, eight-eyed," made quite an impression on Chu Xiuwen.
He had never seen any projections related to the "Eight-armed, eight-eyed monster," neither dream projections nor illusions in reality, nor had he ever felt the influence of associated fear and emotions.
However, through his old classmate Guo Lin's father, Mr. Guo, he had seen multi-armed "gatekeepers" when Mr. Guo was resuscitated after a heart attack, and also saw the eight-armed, eight-eyed wood carvings in Qi Haoguo's new home, which made him associate it with Xiang Kun.
He believed that Xiang Kun might have some special gift or tool, capable of utilizing the power of the "eight-armed, eight-eyed" entity. Hence, during the times Xiang Kun saved Mr. Guo and intimidated Qi Haoguo, they all saw the existence of the "eight-armed, eight-eyed" monster.
