Chapter 48 Beauty Snake

A lot of pieces fell off the mask, and soon the contents were exposed.

Qi Guanshan looked at the remaining part of the mask stiffly, with a hint of horror in his eyes.

Under the mask, there was a thin layer of skin-like object close to the skin color, which looked a bit strange.

Qi Guanshan twitched the corners of his lips: "Isn't this what I thought?!"

Fu Zhaozhao cleaned up the remaining fragments, took out the complete slices, and placed them in front of him.

"That's what you think." Fu Zhaozhao's tone was a bit gloating.

After the fragments were cleaned up, the contents of the mask's interlayer were revealed. It was a mask in the shape of a human face. The skin was like gelatin, and it felt and felt not much different from a real person.

The only difference is probably that the skin is a bit cold to the point of biting, and it feels extra smooth, which reminds people of the skin of snakes.

While the two were studying, Xiaobao, who was passing by, seemed to see something interesting and hurried forward.

Xiaobao: "Hey! Where did you get this thing?!"

Fu Zhaozhao: "...do you know him?"

Xiaobao took the human skin mask and touched it carefully without any precaution, then put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently.

"Have you ever heard of the beauty snake?" Xiaobao asked.

The other two shook their heads.

"Never heard of it?" Xiaobao didn't believe it, but then he was relieved: "This thing is actually quite famous! But this thing has been around for a long time, so it's normal that you don't know about it."

Fu Zhaozhao asked: "How to say?"

Xiaobao was just about to tell them about the beauty snake when suddenly he received some message on his phone. After taking a look at it, he frowned and sighed.

"Uncle Qi has something to do with me. I'll find you later. You should keep this thing for now and try not to touch it." After Xiaobao finished speaking, he returned the thing to its original owner, Qi Guanshan.

Qi Guanshan immediately looked at Fu Zhaozhao resentfully, asking her to help him think of a solution.

In the end, Fu Zhaozhao just patted him on the shoulder and gave him silent encouragement, "See you in the evening!"

Qi Guanshan was left alone and dared not move.

Time flies by and night comes in the blink of an eye.

The surroundings were dark, Xiaobao lit a candle, carefully placed the human skin mask in the middle, and the three of them sat together.

"Since none of you have heard about the beauty snake, let me tell you about the origin of the beauty snake." Xiaobao said in a deliberately lowered voice.

Qi Guanshan interrupted her and asked with some confusion: "Is this related to not turning on the lights?"

Xiaobao glanced at him and said matter-of-factly: "It doesn't matter, but turning off the lights will make it more atmospheric."

Fu Zhaozhao interrupted the topic between the two of them: "Let's get down to business!"

Qi Guanshan sat back with a sense of grievance, then raised his ears to listen to Xiaobao's speech.

"Beauty snakes have been around for a long time. I don't know when they started. But just like the name, those who become beauty snakes are beautiful people."

Fu Zhaozhao was puzzled: "You mean, the predecessors of the beauty snakes were all humans?"

Xiaobao lightly lifted the human skin mask and said: "It's not surprising. There are even many very famous gods who have been transformed by humans. Whether they are gods, ghosts, or whatever, basically as long as they are related to humans, there are There is a high chance that it was transformed from a human being.”

"But this is nothing compared to others. The process of transforming the beautiful snake from a human into a snake is a bit too cruel." When Xiaobao said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Qi Guanshan: "How do you say that?"

Xiaobao: "In ancient times, women's status was relatively low. Even many wealthy families would deliberately keep some beautiful girls in captivity. When they grow up, they would either give them away or use them for other purposes."

"But in these rich families, there may be a special hobby." Xiaobao paused, as if he couldn't think of any words to describe the other party's perversion, "In short, they used a special method to make their faces look cute. There was a wound on the young girl's lower body, which was then connected to the body of the snake that had just died."

"Over time, the snake's lower body will be equivalent to the girl's lower body. When she grows up, the snake's body will also grow."

"Then those rich people will give these girls to dignitaries with special hobbies to make profits - but the chance of success of this method is too small, and few of them are successful."

"Moreover, when these girls who successfully turned into beautiful snakes lose their usefulness when they get older, those people will take off their face skins and sew them together with the masks. It is said that they have the effect of warding off evil spirits."

Qi Guanshan's expression was not very good: "Are you sure you are trying to ward off evil spirits and not summon ghosts?!"

Xiaobao: "I don't know about that. Anyway, according to records, the main function of this thing is to ward off evil spirits. But I may have been using it for too long, and this ability may not disappear."

Fu Zhaozhao asked: "Besides this, is there anything special about it?"

Xiaobao touched his chin and thought for a moment.

"Yes, there is, but it may not be accurate."

"How to say?"

Xiaobao: "The predecessors of these beautiful snakes were all transformed by people. They also have the seven emotions and six desires of humans. I heard that when they fall in love with a certain man, they will appear next to him, in their dreams, until they He takes it away."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Xiaobao seemed to realize something belatedly.

She gently pinched the human skin mask and said carefully and tentatively: "Don't tell me that this thing will get stuck on one of you two."

Although Xiaobao said this, his eyes fell on Qi Guanshan, and the meaning was clear.

Fu Zhaozhao also turned his attention to him.

In the end, Qi Guanshan raised his hands and surrendered.

"Okay, according to what you said, it's no surprise that this beautiful snake is attracted to me." He felt a little weird when he said this, and then quickly asked: "Is there any other way to solve it?"

Xiaobao said with some hesitation: "Yes, there is, but this method is more troublesome."

Qi Guanshan: "How much trouble?"

Xiaobao said bluntly: "It's so troublesome that you have to find their bodies and bury them properly. Moreover, the beauty snakes that can freely come and go in dreams are no longer ordinary beauty snakes. I'm not sure whether this will be effective."

Qi Guanshan thought for a while, turned to look at Fu Zhaozhao, and asked her, "Can the body be found in three days?"

Solve what can be solved first, and then talk about what cannot be solved.

Fu Zhaozhao: "...What are you talking about when you look at me?!"

Qi Guanshan then patted her shoulder solemnly and said sincerely: "Zhaozhao, my life is in your hands."

Fu Zhaozhao rejected the other party's invitation and asked him to solve it on his own.
