Skin Painter - C102
It looked like a monkey, but its fangs were protruding out, its bloody mouth was wide open, its eyes were like copper bells, its four limbs were slender like hemp rope, and even a painting could see that its eyes were filled with brutality, as if it would jump out of the paper at any moment to bite someone.
I was shocked when I saw it. I thought, Is this person sick? He actually brought such a strange painting with him.
However, my surprise didn’t last long before I heard the handcuffed man’s mouth move a few times and emit a string of strange notes, as if he were mumbling to himself in a baby’s dream. It made my scalp tingle and I felt something was wrong.
However, before I could come back to my senses and figure out what was wrong with it, a strange gust of wind blew by, and the paper that was originally lying on the ground started to float up with the wind. Before I could even see clearly, the paper started to burn with a “Hu” sound.
Moreover, the strangest thing was that the flame did not last long before it suddenly converged. It was as if a ball of orange yellow had formed itself in a few seconds, as if some kind of animal had curled up within the ball of fire. However, because the time was short, he was still unable to clearly see what exactly it was.
However, when I saw it clearly, I was immediately taken aback. Isn’t this curled up item the same as the monster that was drawn on the paper just now?
What the heck! I instantly gasped and was extremely shocked. I stood rooted to the spot, my mind a little stiff.
Why is it that other than me, there are other people who can use painting to summon monsters?
Furthermore, his methods are clearly much better than mine. Every time I was summoned there, not to mention the time, land, people and all sorts of other factors restricted me, but most importantly, it is possible that I died before I could even take them out.
To be honest, looking at this shocking scene, besides my fear, I was also curious. If it wasn’t for my perspective, I would even want to go up and ask him how he did it.
Of course, none of this is possible, because when I saw the strange thing fall to the ground, its entire body turned crimson red like blood, and with a light leap, it landed on the shoulder of a passerby, its blade-like fingers placed lightly on the necks of others. I did not doubt the destructive power of its claw at all, so I immediately stopped Squad Hu and signaled for him to stay put for now.
At the same time, I noticed that the people coming and going around me, apart from the occasional busybody, didn’t even notice.
As for the person with the strange thing on his shoulder, he was looking at us with an expression of anticipation, not noticing that he was in danger at all.
In other words, I am certain that ordinary people will not be able to see this strange thing.
It was also at this moment that this person suddenly opened his mouth. The muscles on his face twisted as he coldly said, “I don’t mind killing a few more. Do you want to try?”
His voice was very strange, similar to the sound of tiles rubbing together. It was dull and hoarse, making people feel very uncomfortable. Of course, the most disgusting thing was his eyes. Even though he only had one eye, they still made people tremble in fear.
Captain Hu obviously didn’t see that strange thing. He asked me with a puzzled expression, “What’s wrong?”
I sighed. I was really unwilling. I knew what this fellow meant. He just wanted me to let him go.
Of course, I didn’t want to, but looking at the monster squatting on the shoulder of the bystander, I saw its ten fingers shining brightly like a demonstration of its might. I couldn’t help but feel a chill in my heart once more, and helplessly sighed before powerlessly saying to Squad Hu, “Let him go!”
“Why?” Squadron Leader Hu had been a police officer for many years, and his sense of justice was bursting. He must have felt the same unwillingness as me and unconsciously asked a few more questions.
I frowned and couldn’t explain to him for a moment. I simply replied, “There are too many passers-by. I’m afraid that it will result in innocent casualties.”
Captain Hu obviously didn’t understand, but it wasn’t hard to tell that he still trusted me a lot. He nodded with a dark face and released the handcuffs on the man’s hands, and I could tell that right now, his cheeks are tight and he was gritting his teeth, depressed to the extreme.
“Soul Painter, you’re still a little too weak.” The voice of the man was hoarse as he laughed, his voice was filled with teasing and provocation, making me so angry that I almost went berserk. However, looking at the surrounding people who didn’t notice anything, I finally heaved a heavy sigh, and unwillingly shouted: “Scram!”
The man’s body stiffened and his lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, he didn’t make a sound and instead laughed coldly as he brushed past my shoulder. As for the monster, it was still perched on the shoulder of the passerby, not showing any intention of leaving.
Because of this, I still didn’t dare to move an inch. I stared at that passerby as I cursed in my heart.
As for the one-eyed man whom I had blinded with one eye, he sauntered right under our noses and arrived at the entrance of the hospital.
It was also at this moment that my body suddenly stopped and turned around abruptly. I coldly smiled at me from afar and revealed a sinister smile. At the same time, I made a hand gesture.
“Not good!” Seeing this, my heart skipped a beat. At the same time, I took out my White Bone Writing Brush and rushed towards the passerby who had monsters crouching on his shoulders.
However, it was a pity that it was too late. While the passer-by was still in a daze, the monster on his shoulder brazenly made its move. Its ten fingers were like blades as they grasped towards the chest of the passer-by.
I even closed my eyes, unable to bear to look at this bloody scene anymore. I heard a muffled grunt from beside my ear, and when I opened my eyes to look, I saw that the passerby was clutching at his chest, and his face had turned purple as he slowly fell to the ground. Although I didn’t see a single trace of blood, I still instinctively knew that this person was hopeless.
At the same time, the monster turned into a puff of black gas and disappeared. I didn’t know if it was my imagination, but I could smell a weird smell. It smelled like ink, but it also smelled like blood.
However, I couldn’t care less as I quickly shouted to Captain Hu, who was chasing after the strange person, “Captain Hu, quickly, save him!”
Even though I know that this person is hopeless, I am unable to turn a blind eye to him and immediately shouted.
Without any suspense, by the time the doctor arrived, the passerby was already dead. There was no possibility of saving him.
According to the doctor, the deceased died of a myocardial infarction.
I coldly laughed. In front of such a strange method, how could conventional medicine detect anything?
The strong sense of defeat made me unable to catch my breath as I stared blankly at the clothes that had been stripped off the corpse. There were a few stains of ink on it, and the smell was the same as the one I smelled earlier, probably left behind by the monster before it disappeared.
But even so, what could he do? Where do I go to find that strange man when he is out of the door?
Fortunately, while I was feeling depressed, Captain Hu didn’t give up. In the end, he found a busybody and got the strange person’s image from him.
When I heard this, I was immediately overjoyed. I thought to myself, Ginger is still older and spicier, how could I have forgotten about this?
Unfortunately, he didn’t know if it was because that busybody’s phone had too low a pixel or something, but the strange person’s face on the screen was blurry like a mosaic, and he couldn’t see anyone’s true appearance.
In an instant, the hope that I had just ignited cooled down. I thought to myself that if I knew that that fellow would attack me, I might as well not care about the lives of that bystander and just capture him.
However, Captain Hu did not give up. He coldly said, “I’ll bring him to the station. I believe the technical department will have a way. As long as they know who he is, they can settle the rest.”
I grinned, not very hopeful, thinking who in your technical department would know.
I think so for a reason.
Because a few years ago, a child in our town was kidnapped. Later, when the family reported the case, the relevant authorities called in the surveillance cameras and found the image of the person who kidnapped the child.
Unfortunately, the surveillance was too blurry, the light was too dim, the vision was too far away and the angle was not right. In the end, the clear image of the suspect could not be obtained.
And because of this, when I heard the Captain Hu say the words “technical department”, I didn’t feel too cold.
However, having hope is still better than having no hope. At least, it’s millions of times better than me trying to find my way in the dark.
“Ma Que, don’t be anxious, there will be a way sooner or later.” Seeing that I was still not in a good mood, the Captain Hu started to console me.
I ignored him and continued to stare at the ink stains on the corpse’s clothes. I felt a strange smell coming from there, and the more I thought about it, the more familiar I felt. It was as if I had seen it somewhere before.
But, also at this time, Qiyou spoke again. She spoke softly: “Ma Que, this smell is so familiar. I think I smelled it when we were at the Pi Xiu.”
Hearing that, I was shocked, she really woke me up, it would be hard for me to remember if Qiyou did not say that.
I remember that time at President Liu’s house, when my horse’s stone was thrown onto a piece of paper and turned into ink, wasn’t that the exact smell?
I clapped my hands. I was so excited that I immediately took out my phone to call President Liu. Unfortunately, it just so happened that President Liu was away on a business trip and wouldn’t be back for another two days.
“F * ck!” I gritted my teeth in hatred. I almost threw my phone away. Can I afford to delay for two days?
