Chapter 18 Skin Change
After Qi and Duan separated, the chasing monster decisively caught up with Qi Luyi.
Qi Luyi: ...Although I thought about luring you away, I didn’t expect you to actually come after me.
The monster behind him was dragging its exposed blood-red internal organs, its eyes fixed on Qi Luyi, as if it wanted to poke holes in his body.
Qi Luyi felt that he had never run so fast in his life, and he didn't care about the direction at all.
Duan Miaomiao ran as fast as she could. She heard the sound of the monster behind her getting farther and farther away. When she turned around, she saw the monster chasing Qi Luyi.
Then he stopped and ran slowly towards the princess palace.
She wanted to see what the monster was hiding in the princess palace and look for clues about the missing maid.
She recalled that when she saw the princess's true face, the truth exploration progress that the system sounded was only halfway through, which proved that her previous guesses were correct, but not all of them.
Maybe there would be some clues in the princess palace, Duan Miaomiao thought, she would use this opportunity to speed up the progress, and she couldn't let Qi Lu lead the monster away by herself.
Soon she arrived at the door of the Princess Palace, her flesh and blood were a mess. She resisted the urge to vomit, did not look at the tragic situation on the ground, and quickly rushed into the house without holding her breath.
The faint smoke still lingered in the house, and the bed was extremely miserable. The fallen silk yarn and blood-spattered quilt could faintly see the skin of the monster that had just fallen off.
Duan Miaomiao saw that the room was very spacious, but slightly empty. There was only a large bed, a dressing table, and a huge vertical cabinet hidden in the corner. There was a bronze mirror on top and two boxes below.
She walked forward doubtfully. She had never seen such a large bronze mirror. Such a large cabinet was really eye-catching and full of weirdness.
She prepared herself mentally and opened the first layer of boxes. There were neatly stacked dresses inside. It looked like the fabric was very expensive and should be what the monster usually wore.
Duan Miaomiao then opened the second floor, and messy dresses came into view. All kinds of dresses were piled up in a messy manner.
She recognized that the clothes in front of her were those of the girl who had been summoned a few days ago, and there were several green sachets piled next to the clothes, which seemed to be the same as those of Qi Luyi.
Sure enough, Duan Miaomiao thought, there must be something hidden here. Could it be that all those girls were eaten? The sachet given by the queen is definitely not simple.
She stood up suddenly, suddenly stepped on the hem of her skirt, and leaned forward uncontrollably.
In order not to fall, she quickly stretched out her hand to hold on to the bronze mirror to stand firm.
But as soon as his hand touched the side of the bronze mirror, he didn't expect that the bronze mirror suddenly spun around. Duan Miaomiao put his hand on the surface of the box. Fortunately, he didn't fall. He let out a breath, and when he raised his head, a pair of pale feet suddenly appeared.
In front of you.
He took a sharp breath, swallowed his desire to scream, and quickly took a few steps back.
His eyes slowly moved up, and he saw a person hanging behind the bronze mirror.
No, it should be said to be complete human skins.
Wooden pegs were nailed behind the bronze mirror, and wooden supports were used to support the human skin and hang it on the wooden pegs. Her disheveled hair was blowing in the wind. The usually lively girl with her exquisite face was now only a pale and dull human skin mask.
Although she had no eyes, Duan Miaomiao felt like girls staring at her with frightened eyes at this moment.
Duan Miaomiao covered her mouth with her hands, her back already soaked with cold sweat.
There was no bloody scene at this time, but it frightened her to the extreme.
She seemed to hear the desperate screams of these girls before they died, like purgatory.
Duan Miaomiao didn't dare to look at it again, and quickly stepped forward to push it back to the bronze mirror.
With a pale face, she walked deeper into the room, opening layers of curtains, and the pungent smell of blood stimulated her sense of smell.
Covering her mouth and nose with her hands, holding back her tears, she walked through a bamboo curtain and arrived at an open room.
The smoke was even stronger than in the outhouse. There were half-man-high pillars erected in every corner of the room, with incense and sandalwood placed on them. Herb-scented smoke drifted out from inside.
Then a pool of blood that nearly filled the entire room forced its way into Duan Miaomiao's sight.
There were broken limbs and broken arms in the blood pool, with half of the white bones exposed. The blood-stained eyes stared blankly at the high roof, and some human tissue could even be seen floating on the blood.
Duan Miaomiao felt like her nerves were about to collapse. It was the first time she faced such a bloody scene head-on. Her stomach suddenly spasmed, and she finally couldn't help turning around and retching.
