Chapter 176: I'm Not Like You
Ji Yunshu wanted to move, but her body was tightly bound and she couldn't break free.
"Stop struggling. It's useless. It will only get tighter and tighter."
Mei Xiang 'er's voice came from two meters in front of her.
The surrounding cold and damp air wantonly spread on her body. In addition to the smell of rotten corpses and blood, she could roughly guess where she was.
She stopped struggling, lifted her chin, and asked a question.
"Why?"
"Why? What do you think? "
"I don't know!"
Mei Xiang 'er revealed a strange smile.
Then, the sound of metal clanging against each other was heard.
His voice drifted closer and closer to Ji Yunshu's ear.
She could clearly feel a cold object sticking to her face. It patted her face twice and then slowly picked up the half of her mask.
She called out, "Miss Ji."
'Ah!'
Ji Yunshu was slightly startled. "You already knew?"
Mei Xiang 'er bent down and whispered into Ji Yunshu's ear, "In fact, from the first time I saw you, I already knew that you were a woman. Miss Ji, you are different from the others because you didn't look down on me. Your kindness truly moved me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the cloth covering her eyes loosened.
The air was damp and filled with the thick smell of rotten corpses and blood. It was so pungent that her eyes couldn't adapt. She had to close them several times before she could open them again.
However, the scene in front of her made her choke.
Inside a dark wooden house, there was only a single oil lamp, but it was enough to illuminate the surroundings.
The house was very simple and unobstructed.
Two wooden planks were placed in the middle of the house. They were stained with bloody minced meat and wood shavings. There was also a sharp butcher's knife.
Five meters away, in the corner of the house, two bloody corpses were piled together. Their hands were chopped off and their faces were skinned.
They were Jing Rong's bodyguards!
'Ah!'
Ji Yunshu had touched many corpses and skeletons, but when she saw the scene in front of her, all the images in her mind surged up and churned like a raging river.
That nausea rushed up from her chest in an instant, causing her to frown and retch twice.
Seeing Ji Yunshu's reaction, Mei Xiang 'er bewitchingly bit her lips and looked at the sharp dagger in her hand. Her slender fingers caressed the edge of the blade.
Was this kind of woman the same timid and shy Mei Xiang 'er from the restaurant?
What a freak!
"Don't be afraid, Miss Ji. Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
"What … do you want to do?" Ji Yunshu raised her head and looked at her with a pale face.
Mei Xiang 'er walked to the front of the elevated wooden plank. She used the knife in her hand to pick up the leftover meat on the plank and tilted her head.
"I wonder if Miss Ji is interested in listening to my story?"
Ji Yunshu did not say anything. She endured the discomfort in her throat.
Mei Xiang 'er smiled and spoke in a gloomy tone. She pulled her clothes down to her neck, revealing an extremely sinister dark red scar.
"This scar was pulled out by someone while I was still alive. Then, they used fire to scald it, leaving behind this terrifying scar. Because of this scar, I felt like I was living in a sea of fire and water for more than ten years. I was treated with disdain, indifference, and endless ridicule. However, I endured it all. I endured it all the time."
"…"
"Then, do you want to know who peeled off this piece of skin of mine?" Mei Xiang 'er had a smile on her face from beginning to end. She touched the scar on her body, and a trace of malevolence flashed through her eyes. She slowly said, "It was my mother. She peeled it off while I was still alive."
'What?'
Ji Yunshu was annoyed.
'I didn't hear wrong!'
"You must be thinking, 'How can there be such a mother in this world?' But it's true. My mother heard that only a woman's skin can help her son become an ordinary person! "
Ji Yunshu digested Mei Xiang 'er's words and was suddenly startled.
She asked, "So, that person wasn't your father, but your older brother?"
Mei Xiang 'er nodded. "How did you know?"
Ji Yunshu's eyes darkened.
He said slowly, "Because a person's bones are different at different ages. Although his skin and flesh are like an old man's, his bones are different. Although his skin and flesh are like an old man's, his bones are not. They are firm, but not hard. Moreover, the dent between his bones is less than two inches. These aren't the symptoms of an old man's bones. "
"Amazing! No wonder you were assigned to investigate this case." Mei Xiang 'er applauded her and simply said, "He really isn't my father. He's my older brother!"
Ji Yunshu stared at her, waiting for her to continue.
"When he was born, he contracted a disease. His skin was like that of an old man. Everyone around him treated him like a monster. My mother heard that my older brother could only become a normal person by peeling off a woman's skin piece by piece. That's why my mother peeled off the skin from my chest to my neck. But it turned out that it was useless. Only the skin from a woman's face could work."
"That's nonsense!"
"Is that so?" Mei Xiang 'er sneered. "Even if it's a joke, my mother still believed it. She still believed it until the moment she died. But I didn't believe it. Two months ago, I killed the first woman who humiliated me and had my older brother teach her a lesson. I wanted her to taste the shame of a woman losing her chastity. But I didn't expect that miracles would really exist in this world!"
Her voice became increasingly strange.
"When I peeled off the first woman's skin and put it on my older brother's wrist, I didn't expect that it would really work. It's true! It's really useful!"
"Is this the reason why you killed people?"
"Yes! But that's not all! "
Mei Xiang 'er raised her hand and inserted the dagger into the wooden plank. She walked behind Ji Yunshu and placed her ten fingers on her shoulder.
"Those women deserve to die! Since they were born, they had everything they wanted and never lacked anything. But this doesn't mean that they can casually humiliate people. Why? Why?! "
She gritted her teeth and growled.
Ji Yunshu tightened her neck and raised her head. Her gaze was firm and firm. "You killed people, so you must pay the price. Soon, someone will find this place and bring you to justice."
Mei Xiang 'er's expression sank. "Miss Ji, I know you want to solve this case, but that idiot Gan Chuliang is willing to help me take the blame and dispose of the corpses. Moreover, he has already pleaded guilty. Since that's the case, why do you still want to investigate? You and I are both doomed people, so why won't you let me go? "
"I'm different from you!"
Just as Ji Yunshu finished speaking, the mask on her face was suddenly torn off and fell to the ground.
