Stranger Danger

“Neigh!”

A moment later, Ye Qing heard a whinny from the distance. The black fog stirred ominously.

With a thought, Ye Qing turned his pupils black and white. They rotated slowly like a black fish and a white fish chasing each other’s tail.

“Yin Yang Spell Eyes”

The Yin Yang Spell Eyes could split yin and yang, dispel illusions, and identify truths. It allowed him to finally pierce through the black fog that had obfuscated his senses completely until this point.

Ye Qing saw a horse carriage. At first glance, it was a perfectly ordinary, wood-made carriage, one that had not aged gracefully throughout the years. The carriage was missing bits and pieces, the paint was gone here and there, and the curtains looked dry and yellow.

The horses pulling the carriage were old, thin, and looking dull. They were the complete opposite of strong and handsome.

And yet, the ordinary-looking horse carriage was shrouded by a thick black fog. More accurately, the black fog had seeped out from within the carriage. Old and shabby-looking as it was, the horse carriage moved swiftly and soundlessly. It was as if it was gliding between the gaps of the real and unreal.

At first, the horse carriage was very far away. Just the blink of an eye later, it reached the gates and drove into Blue Pine Town.

Thanks to the Yin Yang Spell Eyes, Ye Qing could tell that the black fog stirred, and the time and space near the Yin Horse Carriage seemed to spiral into chaos. All the citizens it passed by, be it those walking on the streets or inside the buildings, went missing without a trace.

When the Yin Horse Carriage reached the restaurant Ye Qing was hiding at, the black fog stirred, and he lost his focus for just an instant. When he came to, he realized that he was no longer inside the restaurant. He was now sitting inside a horse carriage.
