Chapter 5, The Living Human Skin

Xiao Wu felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, but the fear in his heart was somewhat alleviated as a result

The person was clad in light armor, wearing a bamboo hat, with a long sword of over three feet sheathed at the waist, and seemingly holding a bloodied leather object in hand

Ren Qing's gaze first lingered on the token hanging from the end of the sword sheath, where the character "禁" was intricately carved in a lively manner.

During this period, the western part of the city appeared relatively calm, and not a single person died on Tan Street

Ren Qing looked again at the leather object in the hands of the forbidden soldier, his eyes becoming sore from the intense concentration

As the flames rise, the temperature beside the stove gradually increases

Not right, the information flow is unresponsive, it seems that death is certain.

You are watching by the fireplace, remember to pay attention to the morgue

Good

The issue of lifespan has been temporarily resolved, and the mastery of the second type of technique must also be prioritized.

The two individuals increased their speed significantly, and thereafter, nothing unusual occurred.

In the past few days, the four of us have been working hard, taking turns to rest and ensuring that the bodies in the morgue are properly handled.

They felt a sense of relief, while simultaneously wiping the sweat from their foreheads

Ka-la

[Technique: Aimless Method]

He suddenly realized something quite absurd: could it be that the bookstore owner has not yet perished, but is instead being held captive by the no-eyed law?

If it exceeds one hour, the darkness in the eyes will become terrifying and inexplicable, and there will arise a desire to gouge out one's eyes

In acting this way, one might fear that the "Blind Law" has fallen into the hands of the authorities, yet little do they know that it has been taken advantage of by Ren Qing

However, those beggars are most likely controlled by a certain force in the west of the city, and given Ren Qing's current strength, it is still too risky

The skin of the living person

In any case, the outer wall of the government office is only passed by people occasionally, and as long as it looks normal from a distance, there is no need for excessive scrutiny

Li Mian and the other two quickly followed. They saw Ren Qing abruptly open the door of the stove, which had not been cleaned for several days, and immediately, the ashes were stirred up, scattering dust everywhere

If Ren Qing is that Eye of the Hundred, he would certainly avoid the west side of the city when committing the crime, and then decapitate to confuse the perception, in order to prevent the discovery of the missing human eyes

What happened, is someone missing

Ren Qing

However, in other official departments, one can see workers carrying corpses in and out every day

He released his grip and threw the corpse to the ground, then used his foot to press against the corpse's armpit, gripping its arm and twisting it forcefully

Ren Qing recalled the bloodstains left by the corpse. Although the path was relatively secluded, it was still better to cover it up just in case

The rewards of seclusion are indeed abundant

Ren Qingshun also took a look at his own information stream

The gazes of Xiao Wu and the two others towards him became increasingly complex

The No-Eye Method is indeed well-suited for Ren Qing, but it is still somewhat forced to confront bizarre phenomena with it

Ren Qing opened his mouth in disbelief, how could it look more and more like human skin?

It was just that he felt the hollow eyes of the corpse, which evoked a chilling sense of resentment...

After Ren Qing finished studying the method of the blind technique, he was just thinking of going to the training ground in the yamen to take a look. Even if he couldn't find any clues about the technique, it would be beneficial to learn some external skills for self-defense.

Before long, the crackling sounds emanated from the furnace, a result of the body fat melting under the intense heat of the flames

The leather object continuously dripped fresh blood, and it writhed as if it were alive, attempting to break free from the restraints of the guards, but unfortunately, it was held tightly.

Although it has only increased for two or three days, Ren Qing is still very satisfied

In recent days, Ren Qing has to oversee the stove, in addition to exploring the path of cultivation, resulting in a significant decrease in the frequency of visits to the butcher's shop

After the figure of the forbidden soldier disappeared, Ren Qing continued to lie down for a long time before finally supporting his weary body back to the Fireworks Hall

Ren Qing was already bending down, and quickly took the opportunity to lie down on the ground, then glanced around with his peripheral vision

Could we consider the "Divine Foot Sutra"

Thinking of this, he relied on the heat rising from the pig's eye to force himself to walk outside

Ren Qing hesitated for a few moments, and after noticing that the commotion had subsided, he turned and left

Did you really consume something highly nourishing

He feels it is the work of the one hundred-eyed.

For the next two days, the furnace did not cease for a moment, continuously burning.

In addition to inquiring about the news of the aimless method, he noticed that there seemed to be unrest within the yamen, but he had no time to pay attention to it

Trouble can suddenly knock at the door

He even suspected that the government office was divided into four areas, leaving the central forbidden soldier hall, precisely because of the relationship with the forbidden soldiers

Progress has been somewhat slow, but at least there is no need to worry about the end of life approaching

As the last three bodies of the pyrotechnicians turned to ashes, a thick layer of cremated remains had already accumulated in the furnace, along with some fragments of bone debris

Ren Qing forcefully stuffed the corpse of the shopkeeper into the stove, then filled it with firewood before closing the stove door

He only needs to compare the information flow while eating pig eyes to understand the speed of lifespan growth, which will allow him to know how to achieve the best effects of consumption

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from the stove, accompanied by faint, anguished cries, sending a chill down one's spine

Ren Qing has already been able to effortlessly enter the state of visualization without focus, although he has controlled the duration to within one hour

Indeed, it is a world with a peculiar atmosphere

He only rested for a moment before getting up from the ground, then dragging the corpse with a few steps to the front of the stove

Ren Qing no longer felt conflicted, after all, the body had already turned to ashes with the flames

After spending nearly half an hour, Ren Qing reached the vicinity of the outer wall. Just as he was about to return the way he came.

The ashes have been taken away by the soap official, and it is unclear what the yamen intends to do.

Go

Ren Qing could not help but collapse to the ground, gasping for breath, as her constitution was still weak, relying entirely on the heat emanating from the pig's eye to sustain her

Xiao Wu, due to his nervousness, fumbled with the fire starter and took quite some time to ignite the firewood

Age: 17

The effects of consuming raw pig eyes for prolonging life should be subtle and gradual; otherwise, the old monk with a hundred eyes would not have remained unaware.

He cautiously followed the trail of blood, covering the marks with sand

Now, Ren Qing no longer has the sickly appearance she once had; her vitality appears to be much fuller.

The sound of dislocated bones echoed as Ren Qing forcibly dislocated the joints of the corpse

Lifespan: 5 years and 85 days

"Set the furnace ablaze, this corpse must not be left behind"

Wait a moment

Ren Qing has also discovered the规律 of consuming raw pig eyes to extend lifespan, finding that it is most suitable to swallow one pig eye approximately every three hours.

This was the first time Ren Qing encountered a forbidden pawn; previously, whether dealing with corpses on-site or within the yamen, he had never heard anyone mention it.

In the distance, a tall figure is walking towards the eastern district of the government office

By the time we returned to the Fireworks Hall, the sky was already approaching dawn

According to the information gathered by Ren Qing, over ten people have died in the eastern part of the city, and their bodies are all without heads, positioned in a kneeling posture.

Prohibition of soldiers

Suddenly, he keenly sensed a terrifying presence, as if he were being targeted by a predatory beast

In this way, he can increase his lifespan by four to five days each day

Ren Qing only felt a surge of blood rushing to his head
