"Something made of human skin!?"

Without waiting for Judy to answer, her life assistant Anna exclaimed,

"Is it ......?"

"Anna, let's talk about it!"

Judy smiled wryly and stopped her assistant. This made the assistant realize her recklessness, and also remembered the damage that incident had caused to her own boss.

"Judy, I'm sorry! I shouldn't-"

"Nothing. After all, it's been a long time coming. ”

The actress waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care,

"I just think it's better for me to talk about that matter, and I'm the real party after all. And—"

Judy glanced at Charlotte,

"In this case, it should be useless for me to choose to remain silent, right?"

"You can choose to hire a lawyer. ”

The corners of Charlotte's mouth crooked, revealing a wicked smile,

"Perhaps the goblins will be more interested in their tongues than in the souls of ordinary people. ”

“......”

After a long period of coldness, it finally ended with Charlize on the side patting Charlotte,

"You're so cold with that joke!"

“...... Then I'll start talking!"

After Charlotte's interruption, Judy's depression and sadness were alleviated a lot. But even so, her face was still covered with haze,

"Shortly after I won the Golden Man for the first time for Rapist Pear Blossom, I did receive a leather product, which was a leather book. Of course—"

Judy smiled bitterly,

"—I didn't know that at the time. All I knew was that the leather cover of the book was smooth, smooth as if, as if it were the skin of an eighteen-year-old girl. ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but feel a chill. And Charlize and Anna on the side couldn't help but shudder under the drive of her tone.

Charlotte, however, was not affected. In fact, this guy who doesn't have a normal brain circuit also thought of a question for a moment-

Judy, did she expose something?

However, Charlotte, who is not a negative EQ in this kind of death, will not ask.

On the other side, Jodie Foster's narration continues:

"It was an old-looking book, but it was well preserved, and it turned out to be the Persian Scriptures. ”

"The Persian Scriptures!?"

Charlotte interrupted Judy's narration at once,

"Is it the Zoroastrian Persian scriptures?"

- Zoroastrianism is an ancient religion popular in ancient Central Asia and the Middle East, also known as Zoroastrianism, which is the prototype of Mingjiao in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".

Of course, Jodie Foster didn't know any of this, and she majored in literature in college, and she had a mediocre understanding of ancient religions. She shook her head,

"I don't know if the Persian Book is the text of the religion you are talking about, or even the name was told to me by Anna after consulting a professor of history......"

"I'll do the rest! I did the work of examining the book. ”

Anna took over from Judy,

"Since we didn't know who sent it to Judy, in order to avoid danger, we decided to send the book for examination and appraisal. And then - it turned out that it was a book with a cover made of human skin. ”

Speaking of which, Anna's face was already very unnatural,

"And it's not the kind of skin made of the skin of a dead man — according to the historian who identified it, to achieve the smoothness of that book's cover—"

"You have to use skins that have been peeled straight from living people, right?"

Seeing the image of the soft girl, Anna couldn't go on, and Charlotte simply said,

"And, if I'm not mistaken, it must be the skin of an eighteen-year-old virgin, right?"

“......”

Anna didn't speak, just nodded with an ugly face.

"Well, as scary as it sounds, it wasn't too unusual in the Middle Ages. ”

Charlotte rolled her eyes, and began his not too comforting comfort,

"There were cases of criminals making books out of their skins in those days. It's not a lot, but it's not an isolated case. ”

"What is the use of making a book out of the skins of criminals?"

I have to say that Charlize is indeed a bold girl.

After listening to the real version of "American Horror Story" for a long time, she was no longer afraid, but her curiosity was aroused.

And in order to dilute the oppressive atmosphere of the scene, Charlotte is also willing to cooperate:

"The human skin book is often made of the skins of criminals, so as to record the crimes they have committed, and to judge them, so as to warn others not to sin!"

"That's a terrible warning!"

Charlize stuck out his tongue,

"However, the leather book that Judy received should not have been made of the skin of a criminal, right?"

"yes!"

Charlotte sighed,

"Will make a book out of the skin of an eighteen-year-old girl, and record the ancient Persian scriptures of Zoroastrianism......"

He closed his eyes and pondered for a while before he opened his eyes and said,

"Judy, I think that book is probably a source of your current trouble. ”

"What about my own leather book!?"

"Yes. Haven't you ever wondered why the cover of that book is still as smooth as a real person's skin?"

Charlotte pointed out the problem directly,

"No matter how well preserved, treated leather products cannot have the same feel as the skin of a living person. Speaking of which, Judy, what you just said isn't just a description, is it?"

"Of course not. ”

Jodie Foster hurriedly clarified,

"How could I describe it at this time? It really feels exactly like the skin of a living person. ”

"That's right!"

Charlotte was sure,

"There should be magic in that book, that's why it always feels like human skin. What's more—"

"From what I know, Zoroastrianism, or Zoroastrianism, is probably the original source of this monster. ”

"But, according to what you said before, isn't this kind of monster supposed to come from China?"

Charlize was somewhat puzzled by Charlotte's statement, and the latter explained,

"It's true that the ghost of Painted Skin comes from China, but it doesn't mean that its source is also China. In fact, many ghosts around the world have the same origin, and some are even the same kind of ghosts. ”

"You mean ......"

The same goes for painted skin. ”

Charlotte shrugged,

"In the East, they are called painted skins, and in the West, they are called shapeshifters. Of course, there are some differences between the two, and to a greater extent they resemble two subspecies of the same species. And in Central Asia and the Middle East, they have another subspecies—"

Charlotte glanced at Judy and Anna,

The original etymology of the word "Assassins" in the English language, also known as the Old Man of the Mountain, was a well-organized group of Assassins. ”

"Compared to Painted Skin and Shapeshifters, Assasin has a stronger ability to change. It is said that they borrowed the power of the evil gods of Zoroastrianism, and could transform into old people, children, women, and adult men at will, and carry out assassinations that could not be prevented. ”

Speaking of this, Charlotte smiled helplessly,

"That's why I speculate that Zoroastrianism is the source of the painted skin, after all, apart from Assasin, the legends of several other subspecies have never mentioned the source of their power. ”

- In other words, there is no evidence other than speculation?

Charlize, who knew Charlotte better, understood the meaning of the other party's words, and at the same time, the girl began to doubt Charlotte's intentions-

The reason why this guy is so concerned about Judy, or the matter of painted skin, is not purely because he thinks he can take the opportunity to explore the origin of painted skin, and he is curious about the disease, right!?

Thinking so, Charlize suddenly felt that the Jodie Foster in front of him was much more pleasing to the eye.
