Will Ward!

This is the name of the last person who died of having his heart pulled out of his painted skin.

It's not difficult to know the name. Thanks to the American people's love of watching crime news, Charlotte just flipped through the newspaper and found the information she was looking for.

No way, I want to make it public!

In the face of reporters' interviews, except for some information that the police feel needs to be kept confidential, everything else will be reported truthfully or exaggeratedly.

This also includes the names of the victims, of course.

In fact, Charlotte was there when she looked up Will Ward's information. Charlotte told her that this was the name of the soul inside the next time the skin reappeared.

And knowing the real name of a ghost always has some benefits.

Thinking about Alexis, Charlize also understood a little.

So, it was not surprising to hear Charlotte call out the name. What really made her feel strange was what happened next-

As the name was called, the hideous monster was visibly stunned. The next moment, he turned into a yellow whirlwind and flew into the leather pocket in Charlotte's hand.

"That's it!?"

Seeing that strange pocket squirm in Charlotte's hand for a while and then gradually calm down, Charlize obviously couldn't accept it.

- What about the show she was waiting to see?

Charlize knew that Charlotte liked to be prepared before facing ghosts, and was not the kind of person who relied on brute force to win, but this time it was too simple, right!?

Last time, he also summoned Arno and Sylvester, and let Charlize see a real idol, why is it so calm this time!?

"What were you expecting?"

Charlotte glanced at the disappointed blonde girl, and suddenly it seemed that it was not a good thing to see too many ghosts and lose her awe of them.

"How's that kid?"

Charlize pointed to Nick Schleiden, who was still unconscious.

"I just fainted. ”

Charlotte kicked lightly with her toes,

"In terms of acting fainting, this guy is quite talented!"

"What happens when he wakes up?"

"Wake up?"

Charlotte shook her head,

"When he woke up, he probably didn't remember anything. ”

"Did you cast any spells again?"

"Not really. ”

Charlotte explains,

"I just think that the self-protection function of the human brain will make him selectively forget about it. Of course, even if he couldn't forget it, it wasn't really anything, after all, he didn't see it clearly and was stunned by the appearance of the painted skin. ”

"So-"

"So when he wakes up, I should be able to fool him twice. ”

"Well, you have the final say!"

Now that he was in the hotel room, Charlize simply leaned straight back to the bed. This made her feel a lot more comfortable after filming for a day and feeling very tired.

"Speaking of which, why did you clean up the paint so easily just now? wasn't it a hassle before?"

Looking at the leather bag in Charlotte's hand, the girl was still curious.

"Well...... this"

Charlotte was cleaning up the skin on the ground that had been peeled off by the painted skin monster, and explained to Charlize,

"This monster is actually very much like an animal in nature. ”

"What animal?"

"Hermit crab!"

Charlotte waved the leather bag he had put in his hand,

"This thing is its shell! They're like hermit crabs, they instinctively like to live in their shells. ”

"Shell!?"

Charlize looked at the leather bag in Charlotte's hand speechlessly,

"Well, you've managed to ruin my good impression of hermit crabs...... Wait, do you mean—"

"That's right, this pocket is made from the same painted skin bag I got last time. ”

Charlotte confirmed the girl's guess,

"Immediately after the monster left his previous skin, I called out his previous name, which would have plunged him into a brief moment of confusion under the influence of mana, and he could not help but follow his instincts. ”

"What instinct?"

"Back to the shell, no, back to the skin. ”

Charlotte shook the pocket in her hand that had just been put into the painted skin,

"Because he had just come out of his own skin, he subconsciously slipped into another pocket made of painted skin, bewitched by my spell. ”

"In other words, there is still a spell in this?"

Charlize shook his head, as if trying to sober himself up,

"But even if you trick that monster into that pocket, how can you guarantee that he won't tear it up? After all, he has a lot of strength and sharp claws, so is there any special sealing spell on the pocket?"

"Not really, except that the material is a little special, it's just an ordinary pocket. ”

Charlotte dismissed the girl's speculation,

"Moreover, attaching a spell to an ordinary item is not something that my current mana can do. ”

"That's—"

"Didn't you notice that this kind of monster painted, cherishes their skin very much?"

Charlotte raised Young's skin, which had been rolled up by him,

"They don't, or can't, hurt their skin, except through the openings in and out, which gives me the possibility to trap them with the power of the skin. ”

"Can you do this!?"

Charlize was visibly dumbfounded.

"It's not something special. ”

Charlotte smiled and gave an example,

"Sally, have you seen the story of Hercules in Greek mythology, isn't it similar to how Hercules peeled off the fur of a Nemean lion?"

"Nemean Lion!?"

Charlize was stunned,

"You mean the Twelve Trials of Heracles?"

As she spoke, the girl began to recall her not-so-rich knowledge of Greek mythology,

"It is said that the Nemean lion had hard fur and was invulnerable, and Hercules strangled it with his arm. Later, in order to strip the lion of its fur, Hercules had to borrow the lion's claws, as no other weapon could pierce the lion's fur......"

Speaking of which, Charlize understood.

This kind of story between the strongest spear and the strongest shield is passed down in the legends of various countries. ”

Charlotte explains,

"Strength always goes hand in hand. For monsters like Painted Skin, their skin is the most indestructible thing. So, I turned the skin bag left over from the previous painting and turned it inside out to make a pocket that could trap this monster. ”

“...... Can I say you're really imaginative?"

Charlize could only give this one comment in the end.

Charlotte didn't care.

He looked at the leather bag in his hand, which still squirmed from time to time,

"Either way, trapping this skin, rather than killing him directly, can temporarily prevent the creation of new skins - although it will only be about half a year to survive! ”
