Chapter 118 Beauty is in the bones but not in the skin
The human skin swayed and floated continuously, and only a sound could be made from the mouth.
"I am Ah Hong, you can go back now."
The empty mouth of the human skin moved slightly and muttered again.
Cao Yang did not respond, and of course did not believe it. The words of a piece of human skin were not worth trusting, not to mention that its face looked like a ghost with makeup on, and it could not prove that it was Ah Hong.
The human skin with Ah Hong's makeup seemed to see Cao Yang's doubts, and it spoke again:
"Believe it or not, this involves some of my secrets. If you insist on interfering, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Hearing this, Cao Yang was happy.
"Just your human skin?"
"I've killed you enough."
The empty, shriveled human skin rustled in the air. It seemed to be a little angry, and it seemed to be about to attack Cao Yang.
In the iron box, the blood-red ghost lines that had seeped out had completely shrunk back, and the closed top kept shaking, as if something was about to come out from inside.
"You said you are Ah Hong, how do you prove it?"
Cao Yang didn't want to cause any more trouble. The mission was simple. The main reason he was willing to go on the business trip was to avoid the ghost messenger incident, which was the biggest danger.
"I am Ah Hong, why should I prove it to you? You said you are the person in charge of the headquarters, how can you prove it?"
The human skin responded in a shrill voice, sounding a bit tsundere.
Upon hearing this, Cao Yang took out his satellite phone and the golden nameplate on his supervisor's uniform, which had the words "Cao Yang" printed on it.
"I'll trust you for now. The tattoo parlor is very dangerous. If your mission is just to confirm my life or death, then you can go back and report. My plan will take some time to complete. If you encounter any evil spirits during this period, I can't help you."
The human skin moved its body and came to a position close to the iron box.
Having said this, Cao Yang probably believed the fact that the human skin was Ah Hong. A ghost would not be able to communicate with him so fluently.
"The tin box is your secret?"
Cao Yang naturally noticed that this human skin cared about the iron box.
“So what if it is, so what if it’s not?”
There was no expression on the human skin's face, but one could tell that its tone was not very friendly.
"I was asked to imprison a ghost. You should have seen it."
"Why do you insist that I have seen it?"
"That ghost is codenamed Skinning Ghost, what do you think?"
The human skin fell silent after hearing this. As a skinning ghost, he now looked like a piece of human skin. It was impossible for him to believe that he had never seen Cao Yang.
"Where is that ghost?"
Cao Yang asked.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you anything. You can't afford to offend that ghost. You'd better leave now. This tattoo parlor is not as simple as you think. I am lucky to be able to stay conscious. If it were anyone else, they would definitely die."
The human skin Ah Hong reminded, implicitly trying to drive Cao Yang away.
"You look like a ghost, and you want me to believe you. Do you think it's possible?"
The human skin was speechless.
"It's up to you. It has nothing to do with me if you die. Almost all the leaders in the headquarters and my group are dead, so a younger generation like you won't make a difference." Although it was an empty human skin, Cao Yang could clearly feel that the human skin rolled its eyes at him.
After a while, the makeup on the human skin's face began to melt, and Ah Hong's appearance was fading away bit by bit.
“Dongdong~!”
The noise in the iron box was getting louder and louder, as if the corpse or ghost inside was trying to break free.
"The ghost makeup is fading, and the box is also starting to move. Are you going to succeed?"
As soon as Cao Yang finished speaking, the ghost makeup on the human skin completely faded away, leaving only a shriveled human skin piled up against the wall.
At the same time, the top of the iron box was completely opened, and what came into view was a corpse painted all over with bright and eye-catching colors.
Skinning ghost!
According to the information provided by Chen Yi, a skinned ghost is a ghost whose entire body is covered with strange oil paint, and the corpse that came out of the iron box perfectly meets all the characteristics!
"I told you not to attack this ghost, but you still won't leave?"
Just as Cao Yang was about to take action, the ghost started talking, and her voice was clearly that of a girl.
"Ah Hong?"
The skinned ghost walked out of the iron box and did not attack Cao Yang. Instead, he draped the human skin over his body to cover up the bright colors of the ghost makeup.
"Alien?!"
Cao Yang's heart shuddered. The corpse in front of him was undoubtedly a ghost, but Ah Hong's consciousness took the dominant position. This was enough to prove that Ah Hong had become an outlier among ghost controllers and had completely solved the problem of the revival of evil ghosts.
"Why are you making such a fuss? Being different is the right path. The balance of evil spirits you are trying so hard to pursue is just a last gasp."
Ah Hong, who was covered with human skin, also put on beautiful makeup, and the image of a beautiful girl appeared in front of Cao Yang again.
"Give me a hand, Mr. Cao Yang?"
The terrifying evil ghost with the beautiful face and the sweet smile at Cao Yang, who can resist it?
Three words: breathtaking!
Cao Yang didn't say anything, but he didn't reject Ah Hong's request. He just followed her silently.
"You are really hard to figure out. You don't believe what the human skin says, but you believe a ghost instead. Aren't you afraid that I will peel off your skin?"
After walking a few steps, the beautiful girl turned around and made a face to scare Cao Yang, but Cao Yang's expressionless face made her feel a little bored.
"It seems that you still have some understanding of aliens, but you still choose balance."
Ah Hong brought Cao Yang to the first floor. Cao Yang just sighed helplessly and said:
"Survival is the most important thing. Who doesn't want to become an alien directly? If I don't achieve the balance of evil spirits, I won't even have the capital to try to become an alien."
"You speak as if you've been through a lot. I'm afraid you were still in high school when I was solving paranormal cases."
Ah Hong said proudly that her emotions didn't seem to be eroded much by the evil spirit, and she was even interested in teasing Cao Yang.
"What are you going to do now?"
Cao Yang didn't want to waste his time on this issue. Although he was a relative of the evil spirits, for now, he couldn't help much in controlling the evil spirit headquarters.
"Of course I'll put on a few more human skins. I've told you long ago that you can't afford to offend the skinning ghost. Now this one human skin is not enough to balance it. I have to put on all the ones in the yard to barely be enough."
"However, if Brother Cao Yang is willing to contribute your skin... I can save a lot of effort."
"That's not necessary. I still want to live."
Of course Ah Hong was teasing Cao Yang. Aliens were not something that anyone could easily mess with, and a skinning ghost could only skin living people, so the skin of a ghost rider was naturally the best. But she was not so cruel as to attack her own colleague.
"We're here. Help me collect some human skins. I need to suppress the skinning ghost temporarily."
