Zhao Zhen was originally a drama actor, but as times changed, he had no choice but to give up drama and pursue other industries. He only left behind an old facial makeup he picked up from the market as a souvenir.
And it was that facial makeup that made him become a strange person by chance.
As the saying goes, an angry glare can make ghosts and gods frightened. Zhao Zhen got this facial makeup method.
Using a specially made facial makeup as the base, with a single glance, the ghosts and gods on the mask can be summoned to fear and even attack the opponent.
It's a pity that Zhao Zhen doesn't have the capital or skills to make ghost and god facial makeup, so he can only use a large amount of Qi to perform the painting in the void.
In this way, not only are ghosts and gods unable to be summoned, but the frightening effect is also reduced, and the consumption is increased a lot.
But as luck would have it, although the effect is greatly reduced without the mask, the priority of activation has increased a lot.
Unless the target has achieved great success in life cultivation and has superb control over the body, facing the face head-on will have to take a few steps back. The increase in strength will only make the person take a few steps back less.
As a foreigner for the first time, Zhao Zhen had no idea of ​​entering the foreign world, but sometimes people can't help themselves in the world. He didn't go to the foreign world, but foreigners still followed his Qi and came to his door.
There was nothing to say about what happened next. Zhao Zhen, wearing the somewhat shabby facial makeup, just glared angrily and summoned the ghosts and gods.
The ghosts and gods were frightened and slashed with the sword. In just ten seconds, the unknown stranger was handed over to Zhao Zhen's house. The price was that the ghost and god patterns on the mask became intermittent and could not be used again.
Later, when disposing of the corpse, he met Quan Xing. After several conversations, he thought that joining Quan Xing was his only way out, and he boarded the pirate ship in confusion.
Jiang Xin also saw the mask that Zhao Zhen mentioned. After extracting the last bit of energy from it, he obtained a method for making facial makeup.
Without the last trace of Qi as a support, the unique charm of the mask completely dissipated, turning into an ordinary facial makeup that could break at any time. Jiang Xin left it to Zhao Zhen to think about.
"I thought he was a poor man, but now I see that I am also a poor man."
Looking at the mask-making method recorded in Qizhong, Jiang Xin couldn't help but sigh: "Based on the materials above, it is estimated that only the big forces in the world can make this mask."
"Let's not talk about the paints that are made from herbs. The bark of the locust tree that is at least a hundred years old is not that easy to get. What kind of spiritual and ghostly energy is there behind it? The devil knows where to find it."
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Xin's eyes suddenly lit up as if he thought of something: "The generals who are detained by spirits seem to be spirit ghost generals. The ghost energy may have something to do with it."
With a thought, Jiang Xin carefully memorized the method of making facial makeup, maybe it would be useful in the future.
A few days later.
The world of strangers is not so peaceful. The disappearance of Zhao Zhen and the dealer only caused the strangers in Lao Lin's team to discuss it for a while, and then completely put it aside.
Correspondingly, Jiang Xin seemed to be more wary of Jiang Xin, as she seemed to think that he was related to the disappearance of the two of them.
In fact, it is indeed related, and there will be a third person soon.
In the evening, the brief meeting ended quickly, and several people left as usual.
Looking at a building in the distance, the old ghost clasped his hands together, and his whole body instantly turned into a ball of smoke and exploded. When he reappeared, he was already on the roof of the building.
However, on the rooftop that should have been somewhat empty, a face painted with Qi was floating in the air.
Their eyes met, and a gleam of light suddenly appeared in the facial makeup eyes. The next moment, the old ghost's whole body turned into mist uncontrollably and returned to the unfinished building.
"Successful. It seems there is no distance limit. All you need to do is see it." After a few days of exploration on the roof of the unfinished building, Jiang Xin had captured the trajectory of the old ghost's departure and had prepared an ambush early.
Just like a person's first reaction when encountering a ghost when going out is to run to a safe home, the old ghost can confirm that the safe place is either the next jump node, or he will return to the unfinished building.
Looking down through the gap that had not yet been filled, a black energy suddenly appeared out of thin air. When it dissipated, the old ghost's figure was also revealed.
"The bet was right." Jiang Xin smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and several flying knives flew through the air in an instant. Without waiting for the old ghost to make any move, they pressed against his critical point: "If I were you, I would stand still.
Stay still."
"It's you, Jiang Li!" As soon as his ears moved, the old ghost recognized who it was, and a trace of panic and confusion suddenly appeared in his eyes: "You, what are you going to do?"
"I'm not doing anything, I'm just curious about your abilities." As she spoke, Jiang Xin quietly wrapped Yuan Qi around the old ghost's body.
"Ability?" The old ghost didn't understand: "My ability is teleportation. Didn't you already know that?"
"Who knows if you have left something to be desired? Don't all people like this?"
Hearing this, the old ghost suddenly felt that today's matter might not be rectified. He glanced at the flying knife that was tightly pressed into the fatal point of his body: "What on earth are you going to do! I am a registered stranger.
If you die for no reason, the company will definitely record it, and you won’t be able to tell Lao Lin and the others."
"I know." Jiang Xin floated to the old ghost: "So I'm going to give you a multiple-choice question."
"What choice, you tell me."
"The first one would rather die than obey, then I can only kill you."
"Second, cooperate with me in my research, and I will destroy your skills and give you some money. You will not appear in this city from now on."
"The third one is still cooperating with me in my research, and then both parties will leave. If you can keep your mouth shut, then just pretend that nothing happened today."
One was killed, one was deposed, and the other only asked to keep it secret. The old ghost almost didn't have to think about it to make a choice: "I choose the third one. What research do you want to do?"
"It's not some fatal research." Jiang Xin reached out and found a ball of Yuan Qi: "Just let my Qi circulate in your body for a few days, and you won't lose anything."
"Don't you think your request is too much!" The old ghost looked at Jiang Xin with a low expression: "No one will agree to your request!"
"I know." Jiang Xin moved the flying knife slightly, and the smile on his face became brighter: "So I have made preparations to kill people, set fire to the corpses, and eliminate all traces. I am just waiting for your words."
The two were in a stalemate for a few minutes, and the old ghost finally relaxed under the threat of the approaching flying knives and dispersed the energy on his body: "Okay, I promise you! But you have to remember, it's only this time, next time
We will kill the fish and defeat the net!"
Jiang Xin smiled and said nothing. She stretched out her hand and inserted Yuan Qi into the old ghost's body to circulate the universe.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Xin took back Yuan Qi and watched the old ghost turn into black smoke and go away.
Chapter completed!
