Surprise flashed through Jin Jiuchi's eyes, and all the words he was about to say became stuck in his throat. However, unlike ordinary people's reaction, he did not back away, nor did he scream on top of his lungs and lose his mind out of fear.
The mysterious eyeball blinked once, and Jin Jiuchi also blinked once in response.
It blinked twice, and Jin Jiuchi also blinked twice.
The eye: "..."
A slightly awkward silence settled in the air following this staring contest. Coincidentally, the eye Jin Jiuchi used to peek was his left – the black orb with a golden slit pupil. In the midst of the profound darkness, it emitted a radiant glow comparable to a burning coal, so it was difficult to say which one of them was more inhumane.
All of a sudden, Jin Jiuchi's eyes curved. "Hey," he spoke in a surprisingly cheerful tone, almost playful. "I didn't know there was someone down there. You got any food, buddy?"
The eye: "...?"
