"Painted skin?"
Hearing Gu Xu's words, Shi Xiaohan frowned slightly and looked at Mrs. Wang with alert eyes.
…………
There is such a case recorded in the files of the Exorcist Department:
A scholar saw an unidentified beauty in the woods. After being fascinated by her, he took her to his home to live together.
Later one day, a ghost-catching Taoist priest told the scholar: "You are surrounded by evil spirits and have been haunted by evil spirits."
The scholar became suspicious, so he lay on the beautiful woman's bed at night. Watch secretly from the window.
He was surprised to find that there was a ferocious evil spirit in the house - it spread a piece of human skin on the bed and drew on it with a colored pen.
After finishing the painting, the evil ghost threw the pen aside, put the human skin on his body, and instantly transformed into a beautiful girl.
This is the so-called "beauty's painted skin".
And this poor scholar was eventually cut open in the chest and abdomen by the "Painted Skin Ghost", and his heart was dug out, and he died unfortunately.
…………
“Mr. Xiao, I don’t understand what you are talking about.” Mrs. Wang shook her head in confusion.
Gu Xu smiled faintly, thinking that this lady was really calm. If I hadn't been well-informed, I might have been deceived by her outstanding acting skills.
He is indeed an evil ghost worth two hundred and forty meritorious deeds!
Compared with those worthless cats and dogs!
"A famous detective once said that unusual phenomena can often provide people with some clues," Gu Xu began his speech by himself, "You think you are hiding it well." , but I don’t know that there are too many abnormal details that have exposed your identity.”
Abnormal details?
Why didn’t I find anything?
Shi Xiaohan looked confused.
However, she still pretended to understand, nodded in agreement: "Yes, Huapi, a devil like you can't escape the sharp eyes of our exorcism department."
"There are three abnormalities," Gu Xu stretched out three fingers and continued, "First, as I said just now, the mirror ghost can only suck souls, but the rich man Wang had his heart dug out.< /p>
“Secondly, whether it is the location or the layout of this courtyard, there are many taboos in Feng Shui - the ghost gate is located next to the cemetery, the bronze mirror faces the door, and the vines climb the wall...< /p>
“This will undoubtedly gather evil spirits and bring diseases and disasters to people.
“But for ghosts and ghosts, it is a livable paradise. "
Speaking of this, Gu Xu paused for a moment and turned to look at Wang Guicai beside him: "Guicai, if I guess correctly, this house was bought after your father married your stepmother. Yes! "
Wang Guicai nodded in response: "Yes, sir. My stepmother didn't like the old house and pestered my father every day to move here. ”
Gu Xu’s face showedHe gave a meaningful smile: "It seems that both humans and ghosts like a comfortable and livable environment!"
I just pity the rich man Wang who is under the Nine Springs.
I thought I was spending money to please a beautiful woman, but in the end I not only licked her until I got nothing, but also became a delicious meal on her plate.
This world is too scary.
If you are not careful when marrying a wife, your relatives will burst into tears.
"What is the third anomaly?" Shi Xiaohan urged curiously.
"Third," Gu Xu stared at Mrs. Wang and continued, "I admit that I am handsome, graceful and charming, but I will not let a widow in mourning use excessive etiquette. He stared at me with his obsessed eyes, drooling over me."
Shi Xiaohan glanced at him with disdain: "What does this have to do with whether Mrs. Wang is a human or a ghost?"
She didn't expect Gu Xu to be so narcissistic in private.
Gu Xu smiled and explained: "I have a special physique, and I always have some inexplicable attraction to ghosts and monsters."
As the saying goes, "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise."
Although his talent of [Spirit Summoning Body] often brings him trouble, at this critical moment, it can help him see through the disguise of ghosts.
Although Mrs. Wang is a high-level ghost worth two hundred and forty merits, the way she covets Gu Xu's body is exactly the same as those "ghosts" with ten merits last night.
Obsessed, greedy, the desire for prey is clearly written on his face.
…………
There was a brief silence afterwards.
The atmosphere was tense and solemn, like the calm before the storm.
Mrs. Wang lowered her head and remained silent.
The boy Wang Guicai was hiding behind Gu Xu, looking frightened and pale.
"My Stepmother is an Evil Ghost"
After learning this terrible fact, he suddenly felt that he was extremely lucky to be alive to this day. .
As for Shi Xiaohan, he gently stroked the scabbard in his arms while looking at Gu Xu with strange eyes.
This guy is indeed handsome and very eye-catching.
I didn’t expect that people and ghosts would kill each other!
In this case, when doing missions in the future, as long as you take Gu Xu with you as a bait, you might be able to attract ghosts to die.
In this way, I no longer need to worry about the source of merit.
Sit back and wait for the ghost...
No, "wait for the ghost", this is a great idea!
I am such a genius!
…………
In the end, it was Mrs. Wang who took the lead to break the deadlock.
"You're right," she smiled charmingly at Gu Xu, "I am indeed a painter."
"But so what?" ”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to touch her beautiful face.
Her long nails dug into the flesh, creating a deep crack.
Then she gently lifted it from the wound and pulled it off her entire face like a mask.
"Don't look, it's not suitable for children." Seeing this horrifying scene, Gu Xu reached out and covered Wang Guicai's eyes next to him.
No bleeding, no pain.
As if taking off her clothes, Mrs. Wang effortlessly peeled off the human skin from her body, revealing her true body——
Her face was emerald green, and her teeth were as jagged as jagged teeth.
The withered body has rotted away, and the white ribs are looming.
The corners of his mouth were cracked and his eyes were shining.
Ugly and terrifying.
“Brothers from the Exorcism Department, do you think you can walk out of this house alive after seeing through my true identity?” The Painted Ghost said with a ferocious smile.
"Painted Skin Ghost, don't be arrogant, let me chop you to death with a knife——" Shi Xiaohan said as he drew his knife.
"——Shi Xiaohan, stay still!" Painted Skin Ghost shouted, interrupting her.
The moment he heard his name, Shi Xiaohan found that he was imprisoned in place, unable to move.
She couldn't pull the knife out of the sheath, let alone kill the painted ghost with one knife.
This is the most passive situation she has encountered since joining the Exorcism Department.
"Is this ghost so powerful?" she thought uneasily, "I, a noble second-level monk and a chivalrous woman who is destined to be powerful in the world, will die here today? My "The Overlord Sword Technique" has never been used once!"
Although her father had prepared some life-saving cards for her, she always used the precious cards on this ugly monster. I feel it is very uneconomical.
"Xiao Changshou, stay still!" Painted Skin Ghost shouted again.
Gu Xu also stood in place, motionless.
Seeing the two people standing still like sculptures, the Painted Ghost stuck out his green tongue and licked his lips triumphantly.
"I have lived for decades, but I have never eaten the heart of a practitioner of the Exorcist Department...it must be delicious!"
After saying that, it walked leisurely. Next to Gu Xu, he looked at him with his obsessed eyes again, smelling the intoxicating breath on his body.
