When this monster turned out of the darkness, it was supposed to be scary.

But when Esther saw her face, she immediately frowned dissatisfiedly: "You're so weak." ”

If it mimicked Esther's face exactly, it might have scared her for a second.

Such a scene has long been used in video games, and no matter how gloomy the atmosphere is, it can't stand up after being psychologically prepared, and the other party slowly performs a retrospective. If it weren't for Esther's more cautious and wary of the figure that was similar to herself, she would have rushed up to give the other party two blows when she turned around.

And Esther was so unscrupulous—mainly because she had something more terrifying in her head, and the monster's appearance was so bland in comparison.

"Wraiths are forbidden here."

Esther's words blurted out, and her right hand pushed forward, causing the "person" on the other side to let out a silent scream from the instinct of fear. The figure lost its condensed form, revealing its original form, a flat human skin writhing in midair, struggling to instinctively lunge at Esther.

Esther's ban was partially in effect, but because the monster she was facing was not a real wraith, the impact was limited, except that her speed and reflexes were affected, and she was not completely restrained.

This is no different from a target for a "thief".

The dark dots of light around Esther suddenly dispersed and converged, rushing out on her tiptoes, several dots of light clustered around her, pulling out streams of light. When the tip of Esther's sword was handed out, the bands of light did not pause, but flew out layer by layer, pulling towards the back of the flying human skin, completely cutting off its retreat.

When the tip of the sword pierced through the human skin, Esther's spiritual intuition moved, and her left hand, which had been preparing for a long time, immediately grasped it subconsciously.

An invisible scream came from Esther's mouth, frustrating the monster's plan to lure her into attacking at close range.

The shimmering blade landed on the human-skin monster, no different from a paper-cutting knife, and after Esther had stolen its last insidious struggle, all that awaited it was destruction.

The light and fluttering human skin, which had been split in half by the short sword, fell to the ground, gradually shrunk and rotted, and shrank into a mass and condensed.

"That's the end of it?"

Esther swung her short sword and scattered the surrounding bands of light again, forcing the surrounding darkness to be pushed away by the light.

Xiao Wu, who was tightly wrapped around her ear, was observing the mass on the ground: "Your luck is really terrible. On the ground, it is the shadow of human skin, and it is good to condense its extraordinary properties. ”

Esther sniffed her dagger, there was a strange smell on it that made her feel slightly greedy, with a little sour and spicy mellow, it was easy to remind Esther of the radish oxtail soup she had drunk at Klein's house, the kind with chili peppers, but the smell of this thing felt even stranger.

"This thing...... Can you eat it? ”

Xiao Wu had to admit that even though this was the norm for the "Amuns", it was shocked by Esther's audacity for several seconds: "You'd better not think about everything!?" ”

"I feel like it's easy to spoil my stomach after eating, so forget it." After Esther said this, she even licked her lips subconsciously.

Xiao Wu was afraid that Esther's indiscriminate eating would cause the extraordinary characteristics it had been taken away to be completely polluted, so he hurriedly explained: "There is a crazy risk of eating extraordinary characteristics raw!" Especially the extraordinary characteristics that are not part of this path, if you do eat it, no one knows what will happen, maybe you will just explode on the spot! You don't want that kind of consequence, do you? ”

Esther laughed dryly and said embarrassedly, "I'm not at the point where I can eat it directly, I just think it's delicious......"

When the extraordinary properties of the human skin shadow were condensed, she picked up the diamond-like combination, and its countless sections reflected the surrounding bits and pieces, each with a different face, densely overlapped, and the slightest look at it would make ordinary people feel creepy.

Xiao Wu heard the sound of Esther swallowing saliva, and hurriedly asked her:

"Are you still going inside?"

This question brought Esther back to her senses, and she rolled up the harvest in a bandage and stuffed it into her backpack, telling herself that this was what Mr. "World" needed, and that if she did eat this "delicacy" now, she would only be able to watch the next Tarot meeting, and it would be difficult for her to make a deal.

Esther shrugged, and the points of light in the air spread out in the direction of her return: "Of course I can't go in, I always have a feeling that I can't go back if I go any further, anyway, my goal has been achieved." ”

Xiao Wu returned to his lazy and casual tone: "You are really not greedy at all. ”

"I'm lucky enough, people who are too greedy will only get nothing."

"It's so aggrieved that you're a 'thief'."

Esther couldn't agree more: "I think so, too, if I had a choice, I would really want to be a 'warrior.'" ”

"I'm talking about this pathway because of you. Isn't it true that you want to be a 'warrior' to grow taller? ”

Until she walked out of this ancient Quaternary mausoleum, Esther didn't say a word to Xiao Wu again.

——

After returning to White Cliffs, it was past noon, and Esther was the first to find a restaurant for a big meal.

On the one hand, she was indeed hungry, and on the other hand, she was also fighting her desire to swallow that extraordinary piece of material as well.

Esther happened to meet a few delivery merchants at the next table who were going to return to Beckland, and after she offered to pay the fare, the men saw that she was single and did not mind, so they took Esther with them and asked her to sit on the edge of the board at the back of the carriage, and take care not to fall.

Esther happily saved some change, and looked at the town of White Cliff that was gradually moving away, and was quite happy.

"Aren't you curious about where those people are?" Xiao Wu asked in a low voice.

"Curious, but I can't help it. The innermost danger is something that I don't even want to face with my 'spiritual intuition', how can I go inside. Esther sighed as she spoke, "Well, if I had been stupid enough to look at it, but now, ha." ”

She didn't talk about this topic anymore, but suddenly mentioned the crow that left: "When I came back last time, Xiao Qi said something, and the 'hanging man' in your mouth is the real creator, right?" Why did He show feelings of extreme madness and hatred? ”

Xiao Wu's tone was very indifferent: "Have you met him?" ”

"In a dream, when someone else came into contact with Him, I briefly connected to that dream, while I was still in Tingen."

"There is such a thing, but I won't tell you."

Esther smacked her lips: "You can't say it, can you?" This is a one-person disaster, and the whole family is silent. ”

"It's useless if you want to taunt me, because I really don't want to say it." Xiao Wu's voice was still unfluctuating, and was not affected by Esther's words at all.

Esther looked up at the sunny sky, and always felt that the sun was a bit of an eyesore, so she had to raise her hand to block it slightly: "Is it because that past was tragic?" It's hard for me to believe that there are people who carry so much negative pain and hatred. ”

"Hmm. He is not human, so don't always measure mythical creatures from a human perspective. ”

"But I'm human, and I can't help but imagine how terrifying those emotions will be when they are exchanged for me, which is called empathy." Esther's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling the breeze blowing on her body, "I don't want to forget how I felt as a human just because I was exposed to too many weird things. ”

Xiao Wu didn't speak.

It fails to remind Esther that it is most likely her instinct to warn of this, and it is precisely because Esther is unwilling to believe certain facts from the bottom of her heart that she begins to try to deceive herself, and even believe in this beautiful lie.

This kind of self-deception seems to be a kind of sorrow that belongs to human nature alone.

——

Returning to Baekland didn't make Esther feel much better, even if she didn't like the sun or moon in this world, she didn't like the smog that had endured here for years. Everything was gloomy in this environment, as if a gray hat with a black veil was fastened over the head of this bustling city, ready to attend the funeral of all people.

Back on the banks of the Tasok River and finding a cheap hotel, Esther paid for five days, intending to rent a house on the edge of the East End after attending the Tarot meeting next Monday.

This time, she didn't even hide it from Xiao Wu again, but told it with a smile that it could sleep well.

"Got it, you don't have to tell me next time, just say 'good night'."

Esther glanced at the warm colors of the dusk outside, but there was still a lot of time before the night: "Okay, then good night, Little Five." ”

"Good night, Esther."

The little five rolled up into a ball, the pale yellow dots of light melted into the seal outside the worm, and Estra closed the curtains, sat on a rattan chair, and lowered her head to chant the name of the "Fool", which she had learned from the rest of the Tarot Society, and prayed directly to the "Fool" to pass the message to the other members.

"Dear Mr. 'Fool', please help me tell Mr. 'World' that I have found the Human Skin Shadow trait he needs, could you please ask him if he wants to trade? The price is just quoted by him. ”

Klein was playing cards with Reporter Mike and Dr. Allen in the card room of the Cragg Club, and the moment the clearer prayer sounded in his ears, he realized that it was Esther.

Unlike the rest of the Tarot Society, her prayer was still recognizable in Crane's mind, and he was convinced that it was because the ball of light was quite special.

Under the pretext of going to the bathroom, Crane ascended to the Hall of Gray Mist and summoned the ball of light into his hand, and the second half of Esther's voice immediately came out of it clearly.

When he heard that she had found the Shadow of Human Skin, Crane couldn't help but smile and praise his fellow from the bottom of his heart.

I really didn't expect her to help herself so much! But how much money does it cost to buy this material...... By the way, Esther's previous share of the "Rogue Black Emperor"!

There's a weird feeling of a left-handed hand-to-right-handed.

However, that amount of money does not seem to be enough to pay for this characteristic, this is the main material of Sequence Six, even if the fellow is willing to be cheaper, it should not be less than 1,800 gold pounds, and the asking price on the normal market is 2,000 gold pounds.

Crane was embarrassed to take too much advantage of Esther, but he had difficulty deciding because of the strapped gold pounds.
