The car drove back to the law firm.

Ueno-senpai went to report to Watanabe-sensei.

Su Qi entered the bathroom by himself.

looked at the lipstick in his hand and shook it.

The lipstick turned into white light and burrowed into his body.

This time is different from the previous "One Hundred People".

"One Song for 100 People" automatically entered his body as soon as he touched it.

And this time he could feel a faint repulsion.

It's like cramming a few more pieces of clothing into an already stuffed suitcase.

Because you already have the ability to "make up things"?

Getting two abilities at the same time is too much?

Su Qi didn't know very well.

However, he still successfully obtained and absorbed the ability of the lipstick left by the ghosts.

The ghost has no face, and the skin is painted into makeup.

Su Qi stretched out his right hand.

A drop of crimson blood on his thumb.

He raised his hand, pressed his thumb on the base of his right ear, passed from right to left, passed the corners of his mouth, his lips, and stroked to the base of his left ear.

in the mirror in the bathroom.

The scarlet and salty blood marks were like giving Su Qi a funny and terrifying clown face.

Human nature gradually detached from Su Qi.

Instead,

Crazy, obsessed, stupid.

Su Qi seems to have become a ghost!

"He can see it...... He can't see ......"

Su Qi walked to a cubicle and slammed the door open, and inside the cubicle, a ghost embedded in the wall was vomiting and muttering.

Su Qi put on the terrifying "painted skin" on his face, and he didn't feel scared when facing ghosts and gods for the first time.

Rather, his heart is cold and indifferent.

His face seemed to freeze, and his body seemed to have no temperature.

He looked directly at the ghost in the toilet cubicle, and whispered to the ghost.

"He saw it...... He can't see ......"

"Who sees it...... Whoever sees it sees ......"

"You can see it!"

"I can't see! I can't see! ”

The toilet ghost howls meaninglessly.

This is the first time that Su Qi did not play an invisible human, but took the initiative to talk to ghosts and gods.

By "painting the skin", play a ...... Ghosts?

……

What are ghosts?

Su Qi thought about this question.

He had seen ghosts and gods resembling human beings before, and when he saw his own ghost parents, he thought that ghosts were the souls of people after death or something.

But as more and more ghosts and gods were seen.

This theory is also becoming more and more untenable.

Saya, Saionji Temple, these hidden among humans, some strange ghosts, the giant concrete ghosts that walk in Tokyo......

No matter how you look at it, it can't be attributed to the soul after death.

It is a monster, a phenomenon.

……

Su Qi can't rely on the painted skin, he can play the ghost god without limit, the more he interacts with the ghost god, the faster the painted skin on his face will dry up.

More than ten seconds passed.

Su Qi stopped at the right time, pushed the door and walked out of the bathroom.

The skin on his face was dry and cracked, like the soil cracked by the sun.

With a slight pinch of his hand, he turned into fly ashes.

The divinity is extinguished, and the humanity is returned.

Chaos and foolishness are banished.

Su Qi's sanity became clear again.

……

This "painted skin" ability allows him to pretend to be a ghost for a short time and mingle in the ghosts.

However, there are various limitations.

First of all, the skin lasts for only a dozen seconds, and then it will start to dry out and fall off.

Secondly, the more "interactive behaviors" he has, the faster the skin will dry and peel off.

Finally, he tried to use the painted skin a second time, the third, and the fourth......

Su Qi stopped halfway through the fourth painting.

He felt dangerous ignorance and madness fill his brain, and he continued to paint the skin, which became more and more serious with each stroke, as if it were going to devour him.

Su Qi didn't dare to paint anymore.

He was afraid that he would become a neurotic man whose brain was filled with madness and lacked humanity.

Three times, which is probably the limit of continuous skin painting in a short period of time and playing the role of ghosts and gods.

Then, you need to be a person for a period of time to stabilize your humanity.

……

Around 7:30 p.m.

"Su Qi, let's get off work."

"Okay."

Su Qi, Mr. Watanabe, and Ueno seniors together, punched in and locked the door, and left the law firm.

"Would you like to get something to eat?"

Watanabe-sensei asked.

"Next time, Mr. Watanabe, my girlfriend came over today, and we made an appointment."

Ueno-senpai said.

"It's nice to be young."

"Watanabe-sensei, then I'll go back first."

Su Qi took the opportunity to say that since Ueno's predecessor didn't go to something, he didn't bother Mr. Watanabe to break the bank.

And, he didn't want to stay outside too late.

At night, the ghosts and gods appear even more terrifying,

"Okay, okay, we'll make an appointment next time."

Su Qi said goodbye to his teachers and seniors.

Returned home.

Su Qi took the frozen instant bento bought at the convenience store and heated it in the microwave to eat.

The ghost parents are chattering beside him, telling him to pay attention to the curfew time in the future.

Take a bath at night and be squatted by the ghost again.

As a last resort, we can only bathe together again with trepidation.

……

Lying in bed at night, Su Qi was exhausted.

There's so much going on today.

found out that Saori of Saionji Temple was a rift girl and a ghost, and it was a big blow.

The work of the law firm is also frequent, and sitting in that ghost-filled plastic surgery hospital for a while is like being tortured.

At Mr. Okimura's house, he easily became a Buddha and a ghost, and obtained a new "painted skin" ability.

Although Su Qi didn't know what he had done.

But after revealing the insurance, the ghost and god transcended themselves.

The high frequency of ghost fright, I can't stop for a moment, and I am scared every day.

Alas, I miss my wife and I want to go home.

Su Qi smiled bitterly and fell asleep.

……

In a dream.

Su Qi sank deeper and deeper in the sea.

The white thread connecting the shrine overhead became two.

One more.

Su Qi probably understood the rules.

One is a little squirrel and the other is a kitten.

For every devotee who worships the shrine, there should be an extra white thread.

2000 meters, 2500 meters, 2800 meters.

Su Qi had already sunk into the abyss of the sea, which the light could not reach, and there was darkness all around.

The white line above his head was in a trance, flickering and flickering, as if it would be disconnected at any time, making him completely lost in this deep sea.

Finally, it stopped at a depth of 2800 meters.

Ha?

Su Qi was stunned.

Why is it so deep all of a sudden?

Last night it was still 2000 meters.

A few days ago, it was a natural subsidence of about 200 meters a day, and he thought it would always be like this.

Why did it suddenly sink 800 meters today?

Wrong?

……

Su Qi recalled what he had done today.

I think the most likely thing to have an impact is the newly acquired "Paint Skin" ability.

Is it because of this?

Absorbing and fusing the "relics" left by the ghosts and gods to become a Buddha, will it suddenly sink like this?

Su Qi was thinking.

Suddenly, water conduction vibrates the eardrum.

What did he hear in the sea?

But the voice was too small for him to hear.

It seems to be coming from below.

Su Qi lowered his head and looked at the darker, invisible depths of the seabed under his feet.

The current was surging, and it seemed that something was rapidly rising from the bottom of the sea.

At the same time, the sound in my ears became clearer and clearer.

"Dad...... Father...... Daddy......"

Father?

Su Qi was stunned for a moment, and then a scene appeared in his field of vision that made his scalp tingle.

I saw it in the deep sea.

A huge blood-red placenta.

It's coming up fast!

The flesh of the placenta vibrates constantly, sending out "Daddy...... Daddy ......".

However, this terrifying scene is not over.

In the depths of the sea, countless octopus tentacles suddenly appeared, wielding huge suction cups!

The octopus tentacles wrapped around the bloody placenta and pulled it back into the abyss!

"Whew!"

Su Qi woke up from a nightmare, his frightened heart was beating non-stop, and his body was covered in cold sweat.
