Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 119 The Truth About Tattoos

"Aren't you an outlier? Do outliers need balance?"

Cao Yang asked with some confusion.

"Who told you that I became an alien by skinning ghosts? And aliens also need to go further."

On Ah Hong's body, blood-red threads were wriggling and interweaving madly, sewing the human skin onto the body of the evil ghost.

Cao Yang said nothing, put on his golden gloves and began to collect the human skins that were hung out to dry. These human skins were not ordinary human skins, and after seeing Cao Yang's actions, they actually started talking, and some even cursed.

"The human skin peeled off by the skinning ghost actually has consciousness?!"

This discovery made Cao Yang's eyes shrink in vain. Ah Hong was right. He really couldn't deal with this ghost. If he made a mistake once, the skinning ghost would peel off his skin along with his consciousness. He might end up like these human skins, and it would take an unknown amount of time before he could see the light of day again.

"It's very quick."

Ah Hong, who took the human skin, exclaimed in praise, but Cao Yang kept a stern face and looked serious.

Ah Hong didn't mind Cao Yang's attitude, but took the human skins and sewed them to her body layer by layer with ghost thread. The blood-red silk thread compressed the human skin to the extreme like an embroidery needle, and then sewed the skin to another layer of skin with the blood-stained thread, but Ah Hong's figure did not look bloated.

About half an hour later, Ah Hong finished sewing the human skin, and the originally restless skinning ghost was temporarily calmed down under the layers of human skin.

"How is it? Is it shocking?"

Ah Hong asked as if showing off.

Cao Yang nodded woodenly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Keep my secret, or I will kill you."

The scarlet silk thread was wriggling and circling in Ah Hong's palm. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a pet snake.

It is Ah Hong's habit to use courtesy before force.

"Okay, but you have already become an outlier, so it's not too much to give me some hush money."

Cao Yang said this slyly, and at the same time his stern face relaxed, obviously he was waiting for this moment.

"It's not too much, but even if I don't want to give it to you, you can't do anything to me, what do you think?"

Ah Hong looked at Cao Yang with a provocative look.

"this…"

On second thought, what she said was true. As a ghost rider who was still in the balance stage, even if he used all his strength, he might not be able to hurt Ah Hong at all.

"But I've always been quite generous with my colleagues. I'll give you a surprise after we get out. Of course, if there are conditions here, I can give you hush money on the spot."

Ah Hong put away her irritable ghost line and said with a smile.

"What are the requirements?"

Cao Yang asked tentatively.

"A ghost, any ghost will do. Of course, the one that you can use your abilities on is the best. The second best is a complete human skin. Don't forget the name of this shop: Horror Tattoo Shop. I guess you don't understand the meaning of tattoos yet."

Ah Hong held up her chin and thought for a moment before responding.

"The Horror Tattoo Parlor is not meant for the living. Living people who come here will only be skinned and hung here to dry, or hung in a corner of the tattoo parlor to mold and stink until they lose consciousness."

"Speaking of this, I really want to skin Chen Yi alive. It was this bastard who took control of the ghost skin and ran away. He is just like a scumbag who puts on pants and doesn't recognize people. If it weren't for him, the tattoo parlor would not have been out of control, and there would be no need for me to take the risk to investigate."

As he spoke, Ah Hong began to get angry. It sounded like he had a lot of problems with Chen Yi, and the ghost skin seemed to be an important part of maintaining the balance of the tattoo parlor. "Ghost skin, ghost line, skinning ghost... I think I understand."

Cao Yang murmured in a low voice. Although his voice was small, Ah Hong still heard it.

"You figured it out so quickly? Tell me about it. I want to hear how reasonable your guess is."

"The Horror Tattoo Parlor was originally a stable supernatural place. Occasionally, ordinary people or ghosts would enter. Of course, there might also be some ghosts that are not part of the routine inside the tattoo parlor."

"The complete process should be like this: the first stage is skinning. When a living person accidentally enters the tattoo parlor, the skinning ghost will peel off his entire skin along with his consciousness."

"Then comes the tattoo. The ghost thread is first wrapped around the ghost, flattening it into something like a two-dimensional sticker. Then the ghost thread sews the ghost onto the human skin like a needle, forming a tattoo."

"It's reasonable to guess that there should be a 'hanger' for hanging human skin at the end, but I didn't see it."

Cao Yang organized his words and expressed his speculation.

"Not bad, not bad, basically correct. Your brain works pretty quickly."

Ah Hong clapped and praised like a little fan girl, making Cao Yang feel a little embarrassed.

"There is indeed a hanger, but that thing is the most vicious one in the entire tattoo parlor. Even I don't dare to touch it casually."

"And you missed one thing. The original tattoo parlor didn't need living people. It could achieve internal balance on its own. The reason is Ghost Skin. Ghost Skin is also a ghost and can never be killed."

"The evil ghost is compressed into a tattoo and sewn onto the ghost skin, which is then hung on that horrible hanger and falls silent. After a long time, the silent evil ghost will revive again, and the ghost tattooed with the ghost thread will also detach from the ghost skin, and then the tattoo process will start again."

Ah Hong cleared her throat and added to Cao Yang's guess.

"I see. It seems that the danger level of the tattoo parlor is different from that of the horror BWG."

With Ah Hong's official certification, Cao Yang has finally figured out the tricks of the horror tattoo parlor.

"Do you smell anything?"

Suddenly, Cao Yang's face changed and he asked vigilantly.

"No, I am an alien. I don't need to breathe."

Ah Hong smiled sweetly, but Cao Yang had no intention of joking with her at this time, because there was indeed a strange fragrance in the air, which was a bit like sandalwood and a bit like musk, but more of it was a feeling that made people feel intoxicated.

"Oh, that's not good."

Suddenly, Ah Hong seemed to have thought of something and her expression became serious.

"Ghosts have memories. When I was controlling the Skin-Flayer Ghost, I spied something strange at one point. I guess it was the previous owner of this tattoo parlor, who was also an incredibly beautiful woman and looked very young."

"How do you know it's the last one?"

Cao Yang covered himself with the ghost cave, temporarily isolating himself from the influence of the strange fragrance, but the fragrance seemed to have some kind of penetrating power and was seeping into Cao Yang's ghost cave little by little.

Ah Hong rolled her beautiful eyes and gave Cao Yang a blank look.

"Because I'm the current boss, damn."

She walked quickly to Cao Yang and gave him a slap in the face. The gravity ghost cave did not exist in front of her at all. Ah Hong's terrifying level was enough to allow her to enter and exit most ghost caves at will.

“Although it was only a glimpse at the memory level, I can guarantee that she is definitely a top ghost rider, and when I saw her, she must have seen me.”

"This fragrance is related to her..."
