Chapter 29: Skins
The man who came out of the back room was about two meters three tall, his thin figure like a withered branch gave people an inexplicable strange feeling, his hands hung down to the knees, as if he was the kind of eccentric pianist who often appeared in concerts, each exposed finger was extraordinarily long, and the slender knuckles seemed to have no flesh.
His skin was as pale as death, and he was dressed in a delicate black suit with a tie a scarlet and blood-colored tie that contrasted sharply and artistically with the extremely white lining.
By any measure, he is a standard human being, at least in the form of a human, but if you look closely, you will find ...... He's not a human being by any means.
He has no hair, no eyebrows, not even sweat hair, every pore on his body is empty, and his skin is like a miserable white plastic shell, standing in the light and faintly reflective.
That human-like face should have been vivid and full of life, but at the moment it seemed that his face was a dull mask, and in his sunken eye sockets, only the black and white eyes showed a little breath of life, but this breath of life was not enough to offset the ominous smell emanating from his body.
He was quiet.
It's uncomfortably quiet.
"Got the leather on?" Chen Xian looked at this man who made him feel a little weird, and couldn't help but sit up straight in the chair and look at him intently, "This skin looks ..... It's a good fit. ”
Hearing this, the man slowly turned his head, stared at Chen Xian silently, and then suddenly, showed a rigid and sluggish smile that could make people feel bright.
"I thought you didn't recognize me!"
"Oops! Master Ge's craft is okay! Lu Yisheng couldn't help but run to Mr. Skull's side, looked him up and down a few times, and then carefully touched the skin on the back of his hand, "The touch of this leather is exactly the same as real leather!" Why don't you give it a try? ”
Seeing Lu Yisheng's fanatical look, everyone shook their heads and said no need, just try to be happy!
"What the hell is this made of...... It shouldn't be human skin...... But this touch is obviously very similar to human skin...... Even the specifications of the thickness of the pores are about the same......" Lu Yisheng studied the back of Mr. Skull's hand with excitement on his face, and the kind of fanatical energy made people look indescribably afraid, "Is Master Ge's skin grafting so powerful...... It's like plastic surgery...... Wrong! Even more surprising than plastic surgery! It's a work of art! ”
Just when Lu Yisheng was amazed, the old liar suddenly came out of the back room, and saw that he seemed to be quite tired, and he was so tired that he couldn't even speak, so he waved his hand and went to sit aside.
The old liar drank two cups of hot tea poured by Chen Xian, which eased up a little, but he was still out of breath when he spoke, and it is estimated that the previous skin graft operation had a lot of load on him, and his face was tired and white!
"I'm tired of giving you a dog thing to operate!" The old liar scolded, and then glared at the rejuvenated Mr. Skeleton, "I'll tell you, if it weren't for Xiao Xian's face, I would have killed you halfway through the operation!" ”
"What's wrong?" Chen Xian looked at Mr. Skeleton a little confused, and when he saw that he looked aggrieved, he was even more puzzled, "Did he make you angry?" ”
"Angry?" The old liar sneered, looking at Mr. Skeleton's eyes full of contempt and anger, he gritted his teeth when he spoke, "This grandson is more afraid of pain than a three-year-old child, and when he moves the knife, he screams like killing a pig, and I have to press him from beginning to end before he can operate, and if he cooperates, I won't be so tired!" ”
Mr. Skeleton scratched his big bald head, and it seemed that he hadn't completely gotten used to the skin on his body, so every expression he made seemed a little stiff, like the kind of robot that could perfectly trigger the uncanny valley effect, even if he was laughing, it made people feel hairy in their hearts.
"It hurts." Mr. Skeleton muttered, "I won't scream if it doesn't hurt." ”
"How the fuck do you dare to talk back?!" The old crook glared.
As soon as the words fell, the old liar began to pick people up, waving his hands tiredly.
"You're still young, and you're in good spirits at night, I can't stand it at this age......"
"Grandpa Ge, is there anything special about his skin?" Chen Xian asked curiously, looked up and down a few times, and only felt that this skin didn't seem to have anything special except for its strong simulation.
"Won't you let him show his real body?" The old liar said, then poured another cup of tea and poured it down.
Mr. Skeleton remembered the previous agreement with Chen Xian, so at this time, he also subconsciously asked: "Chen Xian, can I show my real body now?" ”
Chen Xian nodded.
Receiving an affirmative answer, Mr. Skeleton also seemed quite happy, the face that was so pale that you could almost see the blood vessels, gradually bulged up red meridians, and his black and white eyeballs were quickly covered with cobweb-like bloodshots, accompanied by a ticking sound of water, everyone found that the black suit he was wearing was "melting".
That's right.
Like a lit candle, it slowly melted in an orderly manner, gradually turning into a fishy and pungent bloodstream.
At the same time, the skin on his body changed color silently, turning from white to red to a scarlet and dazzling hue, and his entire body began to swell continuously, losing its human form at a speed visible to the naked eye......
When the old crook saw that Mr. Skulling's head was about to reach the ceiling, he hurriedly shouted to stop.
"Hurry up and change back! Don't rot the ceiling! ”
"Oooh......"
Under the blank gaze of everyone, Mr. Skeleton quickly transformed from his real form, and the skin that seemed to have been dissolved by himself reappeared on his body..... As if nothing had ever happened before.
Chen Xian looked at the suits that could be called "regrown", and then at the old liar with a smug face, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Awesome."
"What do I wipe?!" Lu Yisheng's eyes lit up and exclaimed, "What is this dress made of??" It's from the same factory as Hulk's pants?? ”
The old liar smiled and lit a cigarette, and when he saw that everyone was looking curious, he took the initiative to explain.
"That skin is actually a parasitic evil weapon, but this thing can only affect living people, and there is nothing wrong with using it on it......," the old liar smacked his lips and said, "As for this dress, it is indeed not a domestic product, it was given to me by a foreign friend two years ago." ”
"Foreign friends?" Chen Xian asked curiously, "Why haven't I heard you say it?" ”
"There's so much you don't know." The old liar smiled, "Although I fell out with him later because of something..... But on the whole, others are good, and this parasitic cloak made of Haitian witchcraft is given away...... It's not that I'm blowing it to you, this dress is priceless in the market, and maybe it will sell for more than the price of this leather! ”
As soon as Chen Xian heard this, he immediately became nervous, and without saying a word, he ran to Mr. Skeleton's side and prepared to help him undress, after all, the old liar's words sounded too dangerous, and it was obvious that the lion was going to open his mouth to kill people!
"Take your clothes off quickly! I'll buy you some new ones when I go back! ”
"I like this."
"You're done with it, don't like it, wait for the next life!"
The corners of the old liar's mouth twitched constantly, seeing that Chen Xian was really going to take off his clothes, he couldn't help but spit out a few dirty words when he turned his mouth, but at the same time he felt a little guilty in his heart, look at what scared this kid, it seems that his previous bad style made him fall ill!
"Don't take it off! There are girls too! Xu Yanan hurriedly stretched out his two hands to cover Mu He's eyes, and then looked at Chen Xian and them with wide eyes.
"Xiao Lu, are you waiting for the fart to eat?!" Chen Xian playfully picked up Mr. Skeleton's clothes, and shouted without looking back, "This thing looks like it grows on meat, I can't take it off, you come and help me!" ”
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"Don't come here!! Don't rip off my clothes!! Mr. Skeleton is like a woman who is being insulted, trying her best to defend her clothes, and at the same time constantly struggling, "I love this clothes!" Don't pick it up!! ”
Looking at the chaotic crowd, the old liar took a few deep breaths and reluctantly restrained the urge to scold the street.
"Did I say it was sold to you?"
"Huh?" Chen Xian was stunned for a moment, looked at the old liar very strangely and asked, "Isn't it?" Look at your tone, it's obvious that you want to blacken me at a high price. ”
"What the ......" the old liar scolded and coughed a few more times, gritting his teeth and swallowing all the dirty words back, "It's for me!" Unconditionally gifted! ”
"No kidding?" Chen Xian asked cautiously.
The old liar nodded and said, no kidding.
"Oh, then you can wear it." Chen Xian let go of his right hand that was holding Mr. Skeleton's collar, then patted him on the shoulder again, smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "You really look good in this outfit!" Classy! ”
“.......”
Everyone looked at Chen Xian silently, only feeling that they had never met such a person in their lives, this trick of Sichuan Opera changing face is really amazing!
"When did you learn to be shameless?" The old liar couldn't help but ask, completely unable to understand how a simple good boy like Chen Xian could become like this.
Hearing this question, Chen Xian recalled it very carefully.
"It was about 4:32 p.m. on May 30, 2015......."
"Remember so clearly?" The old liar was stunned for a moment, and asked with some curiosity, "What happened at that time?" ”
"I was right here then, yes, right here......"
Chen Xian pointed to a corner of the front hall, his expression seemed to be a little emotional, as if he was telling a story that was both distant and unforgettable.
"You deceived me of 2,000 yuan and 5 cents with the defective magic weapon from the factory, and then deceived me into spending more than 600 yuan to buy a five-year extended warranty for that magic weapon, saying that you would give me special maintenance services every month...... As a result, the magic weapon was discarded that night. ”
At this moment, the old liar seems to be in another parallel space, and his strong self-hypnosis ability causes him to "can't hear" what Chen Xian is saying at all.
"Aren't you going to eat? Why don't you go yet? ”
Chen Xian habitually ignored the old liar's forcible divergence from the topic, and still unhurriedly recounted the answer that the old liar wanted before.
"So..... That's where my face is lost, and I'm shameless to be with you. ”
“.......”
