Chapter Twenty-Six: Human, Not Beast
I saw Wu Ke walk to the big shelf next to the wall again, step on a stool, take it down from the top of the shelf for Xiong Lei to see, and the small black square wooden box that was still a little frightened, gently brushed off the lid of the box......
On this delicate box, the carved lifelike dragon is still coiled around the lid of the box......
Xiong Lei pursed his lips, took two steps back, and said, "What are you doing here?" Why did you take down this box given by Han Gaozu again? I don't have tattoos! ”
Wu Ke said in a calm tone: "It's okay, you go to the outside hall to have a drink, I'll come out soon!" ”
As soon as Xiong Lei heard this, he quickly slipped away and said, "Okay, call me for something!" After saying that, he turned around and went out, and when he went out, he didn't forget to help Wu Ke close the door......
Wu Ke slowly opened the lid of the box, as if performing some important ritual, the expression on his face was calm and serious!
He took out the small black gourd that was in the box and set it aside......
After that, Wu Ke took out the cloth bag wrapped with needles and the small stone inkstone with a small dragon lying on the horn in turn......
Wu Ke carefully opened the cloth bag, took out one of the rows of needles inside, pinched it with his left hand, and then poured a few drops of the liquid in the small gourd into the small stone inkstone, lit a candle, and placed it beside him......
The blood-red, viscous liquid emits a choking smell......
Wu Ke took a large glass bottle from the shelf, which contained a white alcohol swab......
Ready, Wu Ke frowned slightly, pulled up the sleeve on his left arm with his right hand, and took out a small book from a small drawer at the bottom of the box, which was about the size of a 5.5-inch mobile phone screen!
The book looks like it's been a long time, and although it's a paper page, the paper is yellowed and the edges are a little tattered and curly...... It looks like it's been eroded by the years......
Wu Ke carefully opened the book, for fear of damaging it......
He turned one of the pages of the book and looked at it carefully......
The contents of the book seem to be written with a brush dipped in cinnabar, probably because the years are too long, and some of the handwriting is already blurred......
There are a few sentences on each page, and the appearance of a picture and pattern is different......
Wu Ke watched hard, and after a while, he held his breath and placed the needle in his hand on the flame of the candle, allowing the flame to wrap around the tip of the needle......
When the tip of the needle turned red, he quickly took out a cotton ball of alcohol from the glass bottle, wiped the tip of the needle, and then dipped the tip of the needle in the small stone inkstone with some red viscous liquid, and pierced it into his left arm!
While piercing, there are words in his mouth......
Strange to say, this originally red liquid, after being pierced into the skin with a needle, could not show any color at all, and the pattern could only be identified with the help of the blood stains that slightly seeped out of the needle's eye......
With each two stabs, Wu Ke would put the needle on the flame and burn it, then wipe it with an alcohol cotton ball, dip it in some red liquid, and continue to prick his arm......
"Shhhh......h
It was a human-like monster with fangs, a beast, human eyes, and a ring of hair on the outside of its head......
Wu Ke took out another cotton ball of alcohol, took a deep breath, and wiped it on the tattoo he had just tattooed......
"Shhh......h
An imperceptible smile appeared on Wu Ke's face......
At this time, Xiong Lei pushed the door and walked in, saying, "What are you doing when you shut yourself in the house, and you are still hissing?" ”
Wu Ke hurriedly pulled down the sleeve of his left arm, looked at Xiong Lei and said with a smile: "It's nothing, practice your hands!" ”
Xiong Lei looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Practice? What kind of hands are you practicing? If you have anything, don't hide it from me! ”
Wu Ke smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry! All right! ”……
Xiong Lei frowned, still a little disbelieving and said, "Really! ”
Wu Ke nodded, Xiong Lei saw him like this, and felt that it should be fine, so he said, "I'll finish dinner at your place in a while, and I'll go home!" ”
Wu Ke said with some surprise: "Why are you in such a hurry, didn't you say that you would stay for a few days before leaving?" ”
Xiong Lei scratched his head and said, "Hmm...... Isn't it an injury that hasn't healed in the first place? Now that my injury is healed, I should continue to work, otherwise I won't have anything to eat or drink, how can I live! ”
Wu Ke knew that what Xiong Lei said made sense, but he was still a little hesitant, he was afraid that the Yellow Pages ghost would find Xiong Lei again, which would be unfavorable to him......
Wu Ke thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid...... That Yellow Pages ghost ......"
Xiong Lei waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's okay!" He wanted to die in the ditch where he should have died in the river, and he couldn't die, when I was a child, my mother asked someone to tell me a hexagram, and the diviner said, I can live to be more than 90 years old! ”
Wu Ke smiled and said, "You can see it?" ”
Xiong Lei beat his chest muscles with his fist, made a "dong dong" sound, and said: "My body is a bargain, and the high-voltage electricity has not given me any death, it is estimated that I will not be able to die in small disasters, you can rest assured!" ”
Wu Ke nodded and said, "Okay! Then watch out for yourself! ”
Xiong Lei smiled and said: "Don't worry about me, it's a big deal that I have wine in the car, drunk driving is a small meaning for me, in case of emergency, I will call someone to come up!" Can you still be afraid that he will be a yellow ghost? ”
Wu Ke smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you don't have another fire-breathing one, otherwise it will be too wastewater......
"This ...... The main thing is that it's not under my control......"
Wu Ke thought for a while and said: "Anyway, the car has been retrieved, you are staying here for one night, and tomorrow morning you have breakfast, and you will go directly to the work, it will not be bad for this night......"
Wu Ke vaguely felt that tonight, that Yellow Pages ghost would definitely come again......
Seeing that his good buddy was keeping himself like this, Xiong Lei no longer refused, nodded and said, "Okay!" That's it! Pamper you tonight! ”
"! If you don't like to stay, you better go back! ”
The two of them were fighting, and soon it was evening......
The sky is getting darker and darker, and Wu Ke's heart is getting more and more worried, according to his intuition, he will definitely see that Yellow Pages ghost again tonight! Wu Ke thought to himself, this time, he must not be allowed to escape......
