"Is it because she's a 'witch'?" asked Bert, who had been silent, frowning.

"Oh, it looks like you still know a little bit about the basics. ”

Wardhouse pressed the top hat on his head, his tone suddenly became a little serious, and he sneered:

"At that time, Elenor was still Sequence 8 of the 'witch' pathway, a 'lady of pleasure'. Hehe, it's in their nature to seduce and play with men. ”

The man paused, as if he did not want to continue the topic, and continued the story:

When the bride found out about this, she naturally couldn't accept it, so she committed suicide by jumping off the building on the wedding night. ”

"And she's really dead?" asked Bonnie, cooperatively.

Wardhouse looked at the blonde girl with a smile on her face, not knowing whether it was a joke or a mocking smile:

"Naturally not, she was rescued by a transcendent creature after falling downstairs. That's right, it's the human-skinned shadow in your hands.

Since then, the Shadow of Human Skin has been inflicted on Natalie's skin and has taken on the form of his fiancé, Sidney, who has been with her day and night.

Seeing Natalie jump off the building and disappear, Elenno, who thought her daughter was dead, killed the groom Sidney without mercy. Maybe in her heart, men are toys.

After killing Sidney, the chaotic scene quickly brought the police to the scene, and the two police officers who were about to arrest her at the time were naturally killed by her quickly.

So she fled the city and began to wander around. More than ten years later, because of an accident, Elenor found that her daughter was not dead, and had a beautiful face that lasted forever.

So Ilenor first pretended to be close to her daughter, re-gave her meticulous care, and apologized for more than ten years late.

Although Natalie still couldn't forgive her mother, she still couldn't stand the warmth and coaxing of family affection, and accepted Eleno's apology and closeness.

When the time came, Elenor began to ask her daughter about the secret of her eternal youth. However, the secret is a human skin phantom who is willing to stop sucking the soul and blood of the host!

Natalie naturally does not want her lover to be taken away by her mother again, even if she has vaguely known the true face of being by her side every day.

So Natalie lied to her mother that her face had changed since the suicide, and that she had become no longer old.

"All the 'pleasure ladies' are naturally fanatically sought after by the majority of men when they are young because of the influence of potions, relying on their unparalleled beauty and figure, but they still grow old after middle age, and they naturally can't stand it when the scenery is gone, so that most of the old witches are basically crazy and deformed in their hearts.

Naturally, the fifty-year-old Elenor was the same, and after knowing the truth, Eleno ignored Natalie's pain and cries, and tore off her daughter's young and beautiful face with her own hands and put it on her own face.

However, she found that it didn't work at all. It was in the mouth of her daughter, who was already a little insane after the inhuman pain, that she realized that Natalie had cheated on her.

Because it was not her own face, Elenor aged rapidly every day, and finally became like a woman in her nineties at just over fifty. Not only is his face old and ugly, but his body is even more rickety.

She had always wanted to break the curse by killing the Shadow of the Human Skin, even though she knew her daughter would die because of it. ”

"Unfortunately she didn't make it?" Bonnie asked.

"Because the skin on her face bears the curse of a human skin shadow, and once she and it are near, Elenor will be in pain worse than death. So she came up with a way to borrow a knife to kill people, and it wasn't long before she met you who needed a shadow of human skin. The man replied.

"This human skin shadow is so pitiful. Bonnie's eyes were already moistening, and she tugged at Chris's sleeve, "But let's put it away, it's a big deal that we'll find another one later." ”

The man sitting on the eagle's head shook his head and replied:

"It's useless, it's crazy. By the time Elenor ripped Natalie's skin off, it was already going crazy. Now it has no reason, and even if it is released, it will only continue to kill people without reason. ”

Looking at the three people who were puzzled, Wardhouse regretted:

"Because humans can't live without a face, and the Shadow of the Human Skin gave her her face so that she can continue to live, and that's why you see Natalie is faceless.

But it has been crippled because it has no complete spirit and brain control, and it has been constantly eroded by its own madness.

"Although it has regained its integrity after Natalie's death just now, its brain consciousness has completely disappeared with Natalie's death, and now it is just a monster that only knows how to suck human souls and blood, and has a great hatred for humans. ”

"Alas. Chris sighed, not knowing if it was for the poor human skin shadow, or if he didn't have to find another one of these strange transcendent creatures.

"After you go back, you can seal it with spirit every other week, and the shadow of the human skin that has not awakened is very weak. Wardhouse added.

"Uncle, how do you know their stories so clearly? Bonnie continued to ask in a sweet voice.

Wardhouse turned his head to look at the sweet little girl, and the corners of his mouth once again outlined a ruffian smile:

"Because...... One of the two policemen who were killed by Elenor twenty years ago was my father. ”

Forehead......

The three of them crashed on the spot, sat in a daze, and no one dared to ask questions again for a while.

Seeing that it was about to fly out of the Walkham Forest, Wardhouse controlled the Silver Eagle to slowly descend into the empty road.

So Chris jumped off the eagle's back first, and then took Bonnie behind. This made the little girl's face imperceptibly red.

"Alright, three little ones, you're safe. In the future, if you don't have enough strength, don't just turn around. ”

Wardhouse pressed the low yarke hat on his head, turned around and was about to leave, as if suddenly he thought of something, turned to Chris, and said:

"Finally, I would like to give you a word, arcane is not just arcane, it is also arcane. ”

As he spoke, he strode away, accompanied by a faint spirituality, and in just a few seconds, he disappeared from the field of vision of the three of them.

Leaving only the stunned three, Bonnie pouted and said regretfully:

"Alas, such a powerful and extraordinary person, it is a pity that he is unwilling and cannot reveal his name and address. ”

"From his voice and strength, he is an official Extraordinary Nine times out of ten, I just don't know if it's the Constant Sun or the Church of the God of Steam and Machines. Bert made guesses and conclusions.

"Yes, Chris even said he was joking, if it weren't for Miss Ben's cleverness and wit to interrupt this mortal topic. ”

Bonnie slapped Chris's arm beside her with her right hand and said quietly:

"Otherwise, dinner for the three of us would have been in the police station. ”

Chris smiled wryly, he really thought that the other party was just scaring them.

Chris took out his pocket watch from his bosom and looked at the hour, it was already half past three in the afternoon. It was only at two o'clock that they discovered the cave, and they had encountered so much in the only one and a half days of disappearance.

Exhausted, the three hurried to find their carriage and then spent another hour returning home.

......

And in a luxuriously decorated office in "Golden Tulip", Wardhouse, dressed in comfortable clothes, sat in a leather chair, scribbling a letter while muttering:

"Old fellow, I saved your favorite little disciple this time, I don't know how you want to thank me?"

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers with his right hand, and saw a mature lady wearing a classical silver dress with silver-white pupils and a beautiful appearance appear out of thin air.

This is the spirit messenger he signed in the spirit world, a humanoid creature with a human appearance, Vieni Smith.

"Vivinie, give this letter to Oliver, and remember to ask him for payment. Wardhouse took out an envelope from the drawer, stuffed the written letter inside, and the envelope automatically floated into the hands of the lady opposite.

"Yes, sir. ”

Vivinie, who took the envelope, disappeared in an instant, and quickly reached her destination through the shuttle and jump between the real and the false in the spirit world.
