"It's not that it doesn't hurt at all, it's that this human skin phantom dissolves it for her, and after that, your flame ball exceeds its tolerance threshold, so naturally it can't be dissolved for her and attack this fragile body. Bert explained beside him.

After becoming a "listener", his knowledge of the occult increased dramatically by listening to whispers, and Chris has never been taught by a teacher, so Bert now knows the most about the occult among the three.

After Bert folded the human skin shadow, he carefully placed it in an iron box and sealed it with the spiritual wall.

The spiritual wall is a simple application of spirituality, like a kind of barrier separating the inside and outside. Now of the three, only Bert, who is the most gifted in the occult, will use it.

Bonnie, who was beside her, asked with some concern:

"What the hell is this Shadow of Skin, is it alive or dead now?"

"It's similar to a ghostly creature. ”

Bert's ears seemed to move unconsciously, and then explained:

"It generally lives on the surface of a living human body, surviving by feeding on the blood and soul of its host. Although it is not very powerful, its shell can negate most physical and magical attacks, making it difficult to kill.

"Once its host dies, it will temporarily fall into a state of comatose suspended animation, which is why I hastened to seal it with a spiritual wall. ”

Just as the three of them were packing up their things and preparing to leave, an old woman's voice came from the direction of the entrance to the cave:

"It looks like you've made it, it's amazing three kids. ”

Chris was the first to be alert, and before the sound ended, he immediately turned around vigilantly and asked loudly:

"Who are you?

There was a sound of footsteps in the dark tunnel, and a few minutes later an old woman in a black robe appeared in front of them.

The old and haggard face, the dry and sparse hair, the rickety body.

Even though they hadn't seen the old woman, Chris and Bert immediately remembered who she was.

The Extraordinary One who wrote them this cave address at the party!

"We've made the deal, I wonder what you mean by being here now?" asked the usually steady Bert on behalf of the three of them.

"Hehe, of course, it's to thank you. ”

The old woman's cloudy eyes stared at the three teenagers and girls in front of her, which made Chris and the others get goosebumps uncomfortably.

"Why do you want to thank us? We just take what we need. ”

Bert paused, Junxiu's brow furrowed, and he hesitated:

"Could it be the one just now...... What does the lady have to do with you?"

"That's right, she's my daughter Natalie. Twenty years ago, the shadow of human skin in your hands was parasitized on the skin. Although it did not harm her life, it gradually affected her mind, and she began to become irritable and cruel. ”

"This lady, is it what happened to your daughter, why is she looking for her husband?" asked Bonnie, thinking of the brief conversation she had just had.

For the lady in love who chatted with her just now, since she has a sweet marriage, she wants to know what happened to her after that she became what she is now.

"Oh, Natalie, my poor daughter. ”

The old woman seemed to be recalling something, and said slowly in an old voice:

"I wasn't an extraordinary person when she was parasitized by the Shadow of Human Skin, I just thought her personality was getting more and more weird. Until she killed her groom on her wedding night!"

"What?!" Bonnie exclaimed, not at all like the Faceless Lady had said of a sweet marriage.

"Yes, my daughter, on her wedding night, first poured the groom with a red wine mixed with an anesthetic, and then strangled the man she loved most with her long hair. ”

"Why?" Bonnie was incredulous.

"I pushed open her door when I heard something unusual, and when I saw her smiling, she said that he would be with her forever. ”

The old woman smiled, and a miserable smile appeared on her old face:

"At the time, I thought she was crazy, so I handed her over to the nearby police. But ......"

"What happened?" asked Bonnie hurriedly.

"On the way to the police station, my daughter, who brutally killed the two policemen, fled. The old woman's expression began to turn painful.

"And then?" Bonnie's expression was a little unbearable.

"I never saw her again, and it wasn't until I became an extraordinary person that I used our blood relationship to divinate her hiding place. The old woman replied.

"Why do you want to tell us where she's hiding, you should know that if we succeed in getting the Shadow of Human Skin, it will mean the loss of your daughter's life. Bert, who had been listening quietly, asked.

"Because I'm going to die...... I waited for her in this place for nineteen years, and once I was gone, she would leave here to kill others. ”

"You're keeping her under control and not letting her out to kill?" asked Bert, frowning.

The old woman leaned over, and her voice was a little panting:

"Suffice it to say, in order to survive, the human skin phantom can only constantly suck the blood and soul of the host and others. During these years of imprisonment, there was not enough food, so the human skin phantom stopped the metabolism in her body, allowing her to stop growing and aging. ”

Is the human skin phantom so awesome? Chris couldn't stop complaining in his heart, can this still control the aging of the host? Is it the legendary immortality?

"Is there any price?" of the three, only Bert continued to ask, without divergent thinking.

"My daughter lost her beautiful face nineteen years ago, obliterated by the curse of the shadow of human skin. The old woman's voice was terrible.

Wait, if this Faceless Lady's mother has been here for nineteen years in order to stop her daughter's murder, doesn't that mean that her strength has reached the ability of Sequence 7 nineteen years ago, otherwise she will not be able to control the human skin shadow at all.

Chris's heart suddenly told him that things might not be so simple, and without waiting for him to post, he only heard Bert speak:

"So you're here just to tell the story?"

The old woman shook her head, looked up at the three of them, and said, "Naturally not." ”

"What's that for, to sort out your daughter's remains?" Bert took a slow step back.

"Nature...... It's to kill you. The old woman's voice sounded.

"Why?" Bert actually had the answer in his mind, but it was never confirmed.

"Because you killed my beloved daughter, I will naturally avenge her. ”

"Then why did you give us a message to come here?" exclaimed Bonnie angrily.

And while Bonnie was talking, Bert and Chris were moving at the same time, however, the strength of this old woman did not seem to be as simple as they thought.

I saw that the moment the flame in Chris's hand formed, the figure of the old woman disappeared in place, and the withered old hands grabbed Bert and Chris's throats respectively and lifted them up.

Belch......

Annihilation in an instant!

Bonnie ran over angrily and tore at the old woman's hands, but that didn't make her move.

I only heard the old woman's old and ugly voice like a crow sounding in the cave:

"Little girl, after I kill them, will you be my daughter? ”

However, Chris and Bert's struggles, and Bonnie's best efforts to tear them apart, could not make the old woman let go of her hands.

Just when Chris felt like he was about to suffocate, a playful man's voice came from the mouth of the cavern.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. ”

Immediately, Chris seemed to see a dazzling light flash quickly, and he felt his throat loosen, so he fell to his knees with Bert, gasping for air.

At the same time, the old woman seemed to be attacked, turned around with a painful expression, and looked at the mouth of the tunnel behind her.

Bonnie immediately ran over to block them to prevent the old woman from striking again.

And with a gust of wind blowing, a man appeared in their sight.

A tall man of about thirty years old with short brown hair, dark blue eyes, and a somewhat sloppy smile on the corner of his mouth walked from a distance.
