"Doctor, will my eyes be able to recover to normal?" A slightly low voice spoke, belonging to a young man in his twenties.
He was dressed in casual clothes, sitting upright with his hands resting naturally on his thighs. His long bangs completely covered his eyes; even the ophthalmologist sitting across from him couldn't see his pupils.
However, after reviewing the examination report in his hand, the ophthalmologist already understood the patient's condition.
He thought for a moment and replied, "Shi Yi, is it?
Your condition is an extremely rare congenital eye disease. Medically, it's called Double Pupils, or sometimes Double Pupil.
With current medical technology, it's unlikely that you'll be able to make your eyes look like normal people.
I've checked your vision, and it hasn't been affected by this congenital eye disease, so you don't need any specific treatment. If your vision deteriorates because of the Double Pupils later, it won't be too late to treat it then."
After hearing the ophthalmologist's assessment and advice regarding his congenital eye disease, Shi Yi nodded mechanically. He picked up his medical card and examination report, thanked the specialist, and then turned and left.
As he stepped out of the hospital doors, he finally lifted his head, which had been lowered the whole time, and looked up at the sky. His long bangs slid away from his forehead, revealing a pair of eyes unlike those of ordinary people.
A normal person has only one pupil in each eye, but Shi Yi had two pupils in each of his eyes. It looked both mysterious and eerie, possessing a strange, almost demonic aura.
"Double Pupils..."
He gave a bitter laugh, his voice filled with a sense of resignation.
From the moment he was born, Shi Yi had suffered because of his Double Pupils. His parents were criticized by the villagers for having a son with such eyes, who they considered an ominous being. When he was in school, he was isolated and ostracized by his classmates because of these Double Pupils. Although he did make some true friends who didn't treat him differently, it couldn't change the fact that he was treated specially.
He had thought that things would improve after graduation, when he left school. But who would have thought that, after entering society, Shi Yi would repeatedly lose jobs because of his eyes.
There were many reasons: scaring clients, affecting the company's image...
This time, he had come to the best ophthalmology hospital in the country, hoping to see if he could cure this eye condition and return to a normal life. Sadly, fate was not on his side.
On the road, Shi Yi's mind was filled with thoughts about Double Pupils, and he couldn't help but space out.
In ancient times, there was Cang Jie, the sage who created characters, Emperor Shun, the leader of the Huaxia tribes, Duke Wen of Jin - Chong'er, and Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu… Without exception, they all possessed Double Pupils. They shone brightly in their respective eras, leaving a significant mark in history. These deeds had always inspired him.
Of course, there were also times when Double Pupils were seen as a sign of heresy. The fates of those with Double Pupils in those periods were incredibly tragic. Compared to that, the grievances Shi Yi had suffered because of his Double Pupils were nothing. At the very least, he was still alive.
Suddenly, Shi Yi stopped, standing in front of a shop and staring blankly at the dazzling array of goods inside.
It was a contact lens store. Looking around, all sorts of contact lenses were displayed on the shelves, available for customers to choose from.
He had tried wearing contact lenses to conceal the unusual appearance of his eyes, but strangely, no matter the pattern or color of the contact lenses he wore, they couldn't hide his Double Pupils. Instead, they made his eyes look even more eerie. Even dark sunglasses were ineffective.
Shi Yi didn't understand the reason for this, but now, he had no other choice but to turn his attention to the contact lens store once again.
"Perhaps it's the material," he murmured to himself, "Maybe a new material will work."
However, just as he was about to enter the shop and inquire, a piercing, shrill screeching of a car horn grew rapidly louder, pulling Shi Yi back to reality.
He turned his head to look behind him, his body instinctively tensing, wanting to dodge. Unfortunately, the car behind him was too fast, like a bolt of lightning, leaving him no time to react.
In the last moments of his life, Shi Yi heard the sounds of his bones cracking and blood spraying.
He couldn't help but sigh, thinking he was incredibly unlucky, being rear-ended by a speeding car even while standing on the sidewalk. It seemed fate had decided to end him.
The next moment, his consciousness blurred, and his vision plunged into a deep, eternal darkness.
"So dark, is this the so-called Underworld?"
Shi Yi's thoughts in his mind didn't stop, but continued to spin.
Suddenly, a change occurred. Brilliant beams of light descended from the sky, shooting down and radiating intense light, dispelling the darkness in Shi Yi's vision. The silence here was also broken, with explosions and shouts coming from the heavens.
"Zi Ling, things have come to this, you should stop. Hao'er has been wronged, we know. Please believe, we will definitely compensate."
A hoarse voice spoke, followed by a booming roar.
"Old Ancestor, have you forgotten our clan's ancestral teachings? For a little wolf cub that harmed his own kin, you'd abandon the foundation and soul of the clan?"
"No matter what, Shi Yi cannot be harmed. He is the future of King Wu's Manor, the future master of this vast land." Another aged voice replied.
"Today, I will kill him, to cleanse the herd of this disgrace."
"You are being presumptuous!"
"Who is being presumptuous?"
Boom!
A tremendous roar echoed through the clouds, making everyone's ears buzz. Beyond that, the sky was filled with holy light and dazzling precious techniques, making it difficult to see.
"Yi'er, what's wrong? Did you have a problem after forcibly using the Supreme Bone?"
Suddenly, a voice broke Shi Yi out of his daze.
Before him, an old man covered in blood, with half of his body a bloody mess, was looking at him with concern.
Just now, this old man carried Shi Yi on his back, and with the power of the Double Pupils, fought against the enraged Shi Ziling. Although they caught Shi Ziling off guard initially, their raw strength was still inferior. Even with the Supreme Bone in Shi Yi's chest activating, they were still no match. If not for the rescue of four elders from the clan, they would have been killed by the other side.
At this moment, seeing the brief loss of focus in Shi Yi's eyes, and a moment of intense fluctuation in his vitality, Shi Li disregarded his own injuries and focused all his attention on him.
Facing an old man with an unfamiliar appearance, dressed in ancient clothing, and with terrifying injuries, Shi Yi, newly arrived in this world, was too shocked to speak.
The new book is starting its journey, please support it if you like it. The reason for adding a modern plot is to make the protagonist's character more relatable to Shi Yi, so that Shi Yi's personality after the transmigration will not be so abrupt.
