"Ah!!!!"
A sharp pain surged from the depths of his eye, abruptly terminating the previous vision. Gerard bent down, clutching his left eye tightly as blood kept oozing from his eye socket, as if the eyeball itself wanted to leap out.
Fortunately, the pain came as quickly as it went. Before long, the agony had disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood in his palm to prove its existence.
"What...what's that about?" Gerard whispered.
"That is the price of using this eye," Bai Wei said. "I've told you, you have to bear it yourself."
"...You know I'm not asking about that!" Gerard gritted his teeth, the smile of Clerk No. 44 still echoing in his mind. "What did I just see? What was that?!"
Bai Wei replied with a smile, "What else could it be if not what you saw with your eye?"
Gerard suddenly raised his head and looked at Affairs Officer 13 again.
Her expression remained unchanged, just as it was before, the smile at the corner of her mouth as artificially painted on.
