523 Skeleton 3

the corresponding fingers. The Ghost Gate flew open in an instant, and chains flashed out—My brother and Xiao Nie moved out at the same time. The talismans for subduing ghosts fell, stopping their mo...Shao Yihang walked over, took it and looked at it, shaking his head and saying: "I don't know either. My mom used to use those big brands before. How does this thing have such a strange smell..."

He frowned.

"Of course it smells strange," I retorted, taking it back from him. "It's too heavy with yin energy and the stench of decay. That's why such a strong fragrance is needed to mask it... Your mother probably used this, which is why she looks so young and vibrant."

"What is this, so magical" Shao Yihang asked curiously.

"... the fat of special animals," I said vaguely, so as not to pique his curiosity.

He questioned in bewilderment, "If they were just special animals, why would they have such an aura of evil and stench of decay"

"Don't ask too many questions, to sum it up, Qi Ke Xin is not right. Once what she did gets exposed, it will shock a lot of high-level bigwigs... It's best if you keep your mother away from her and don't use anything she provided anymore - I'll take this and dispose of it."

I looked at him for his opinion, and he shook his head. "If my mom asks, how do I explain Let me tell you, my mom's already not right—"

Before he could finish his words, a woman's scream erupted from below: "Who... who are you!"

Shao Yihang's mom is back!

I glanced at him, and he immediately made a shushing gesture. He pushed open the cloakroom's hidden door and pulled me inside.

Is it necessary to hide

I certainly wouldn't want to be crammed in a locker with him!

"Shh..." He lowered his voice anxiously and said to me, "You see what's happening with my mom then talk!"

He said that, and I could only bear it with gritted teeth and hide together.

He had a faint scent of perfume on him, which made me a little uncomfortable. I don't have anyone around me who uses perfume.

From downstairs came Lin Yanqin's voice: "Aunt Shao, we're here as guests. Yihang went upstairs to change clothes and scared you. I'm so sorry."

Her voice was calm, and she spoke as loudly as she could, as if reminding us.

Lin Yanqin's adaptability is quite strong.

Shao Yihang's mother's voice sounded a little strange: "This... that's right, okay, I'll change my clothes and make some tea for you guys. Yihang doesn't know how to entertain guests... Yihang, are you in your room"

Her footsteps echoed up the stairs, and soon she appeared in the room.

Peeking through the crack, she made a beeline for the dressing table to check on her box of skincare products—each one about the size of a duck egg.

Her expression shifted from panic to gradual composure, and then... she gave a nervous smile in the mirror.

That smile was eerie, beyond description.

Generally, a smile starts from within and radiates outward. The eyes, corners of the mouth, and cheeks soften, creating a gentle curve.

And she, with wide-eyed, bulging pupils and trembling lips, managed a ghastly smile.

I got goosebumps.

Shao Yihang's body was shaking slightly.

He had experienced some bizarre things, knowing that some things were beyond comprehension, not something ordinary people could understand.

I continued to observe from the crack, the dressing table mirror reflecting her movements.

She slowly sat down, reaching into the egg-sized box to pull out some ointment. She placed it in her palm and rubbed her hands together, using her palms to warm and soften the ointment.

Then she started to apply makeup to her face and neck, staring into the mirror as if possessed, admiring her reflection endlessly.

whispered softly, "So fragrant... so good..."

After wiping her face, she stared blankly at the box of ointment and even reached in to pick out a small piece and put it in her mouth!

Have you gone mad......

How could a normal person eat skincare products

Shao Yihang's breath was a little heavy, and he couldn't help but want to rush out and grab his mother's hand.

I gave him a little kick under the table, signaling him to stop messing around.

Shao's mother seemed to be on drugs, revealing that satisfied expression, closing her eyes and slowly exhaling.

She stood up, turned and left the room, calling out as she went, "Ichiro, how long are you going to leave Miss Lin waiting downstairs"

"Oh no, she's going to my room! I'll go out through the balcony! You hurry down!" Shao Yihang hurriedly pulled open the secret door and ran to the dressing table, picking up that box of ointment and tossing it to me: "Please help me get rid of this creepy thing!"

After finishing his words, he hurried back to his room from the balcony, pretending that he had been there all along.

I hurried downstairs, and Lin Yanqin immediately winked at me and pointed downstairs.

Downstairs I looked at my brother.

My brother also nodded.

Since my brother nodded, I felt relieved and ran downstairs.

The environment here is very safe. Just now, Auntie Shao saw my brother and Lin Yanqin, but I suddenly appeared, she must have suspected something, especially since I'm carrying this box of ointment.

When I rushed downstairs, I saw a car parked in the green strip on the side of the road. A bodyguard saw me and immediately opened the door for me.

Lin Yanhuan

Just right! I still need his help with the ghost princess matter.

I rushed into the car and sat down, my heart pounding. Holding someone else's things did make me feel guilty.

Lin Yanhuan looked at me and asked, "What are you doing at Shao Yihang's house"

“This, Qi Ke Xin gave to Shao’s mother. It is said that Shao’s mother recently spent millions for beauty. Qi Ke Xin used sorcery to refine human oil and put it in this, which is very harmful.”

Lin Yanhuan listened to me recount the story and asked in a low voice, “Where did that old man who poured gasoline on you go”

"He is no ordinary man."

"Where did you go" he asked in a low voice.

"He was a demonic sorcerer, skilled in the art of skinning people alive. Before I was sent home, I heard his skin being torn apart... He should be dead by now, his ghost dragged to the underworld... My brother didn't tell me."

Lin Yanhuan's face was cold as frost, and she said faintly, "…It's good that he's dead."

Huh

This isn't like something he would say. He always acts according to the rules of society.

"This demon cultist is under her command, she has others too—"

"Her Qi Ke Xin"

"...She's not the same Qi Ke Xin anymore. Her body is inhabited by a vengeful, resentful spirit." I explained.

Lin Yanhuan unexpectedly didn't shake his head immediately. He lightly tapped the armrest with his fingers and asked, "What method do you have to force Qi Keqin into a dead end I need her to be desperate enough to show her true colors, so that I can uproot her and her family together."

"You..." Along with her family

Is Lin Yanhuan planning to use this incident to get rid of the "釘子戶" that have been left over from history

He's so cunning!

"Qi Ke Xin is now using this thing to deceive a lot of people, probably tricking them into ingesting and applying it externally... So just now I saw Shao's mother acting a little strange. She ate the ointment in this box."

To think of her being so enamored, my scalp tingles.

"Want to eat"

Maybe there's something addictive in there, or poisonous, maybe—

I remembered Huangdao Village.

They one by one became living monsters, possessed with a morbid craving for human flesh.

Lin Yanhuan saw me lost in thought and frowned, "Xia Qiao, what do you plan to do about Qi Ke Xin After all—"d with a chuckle.Lin Yanqin looked at my brother, pursed her lips and nodded, "You're just using that to shut me up."They chatted and laughed, and when they saw me with Ah Liang, my brother walked ove...
