unfortunate black cat

Chapter 53 Human Skin
Donghu City is not far from Chuangu City.

After examining the black cat's body and having several detailed exchanges with it, the people in the Psionic Management Office were not worried that Jiang Sheng would lose control when he left Chuangu City.

That's why they chose to try to let the black cat participate in the actions of Donghu City.

Of course.

Another reason for this is also because of the particularity of the black cat as a general-purpose spell object.

This means that it can not only target a certain wraith, but can swallow many spirits.

As for how many wraiths Jiang Sheng's body can hold, it depends on the result of its growth.

For now, the most powerful general-purpose spell can hold a total of seven wraiths.However, this also made that cursed object a taboo, and weaker psychic users would be devoured by disaster even if they just approached it.

So, let alone use it.

Since the death of its previous manager, the cursed object has been stored in the core base of a certain laboratory, and the next user cannot be found.

Practically speaking, spell objects have always been something that should be avoided.

However, it is also helpless.

Most of the best way to deal with ghosts is to use another ghost.

……

"You mean, there's another homicide?"

Donghu City, in an office building in the Guansuo District.

Bai Jie was hugging Jiang Sheng, sitting on the sofa in an office, while looking at a young man in front of him, he frowned and asked.

They just arrived this afternoon.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a not-so-optimistic news.

"Yes, just last night, the victim was a company employee, and the time of death was around eleven to twelve midnight."

At the back of the desk, there is a tall and straight young man who is still turning a pen.

The face is also particularly handsome, although he looks only in his twenties.However, his temperament already has a bit of the demeanor of a superior person.

The ancients said that a relationship is born from the heart.

This sentence is actually true.

For example, spiritual practitioners with strong psychic abilities generally don't look bad.

"How to die?"

Bai Jie looked a little heavy, and the palm on Jiang Sheng's back also stopped stroking.

After all, the more people die, the more miserable the way of death.The more powerful the vengeful spirits that trigger these events, the more difficult it is to control them at the same time.

Looking at the boy's restless expression, the young man shook his head helplessly.

"Same as the previous deceased, the whole body's skin has been peeled off."

In fact, he also has a headache, because he is the second person in charge of this operation, Man Yang, the guardian of the cursed object of the wraith-breathing smoke widower.

He even lived here for a long time and was the guardian of several surrounding places.

Therefore, as far as this wraith incident is concerned, he has to bear a lot of responsibility.

"Is there any clue about the investigation of the spirit body's resentment?"

After thinking carefully for a while, Bai Jie asked again.

"No."

Having said that, Manyang also put down the spinning pen in his hand.

"I have sent all the people who can be sent. But until now, the reason for the birth of the other party has not been found out. Even the cases that may be related to it have not been found."

Faced with such an answer, Bai Jie tapped his eyebrows in distress.

"During the past ten years or so in Donghu City, have there been no unsolved cases where victims died due to skinning? Usually, the killing methods of wraiths are generally related to the cause of their death."

The vast majority of spiritual practitioners usually refer to him or her when referring to ghosts of the level of wraiths.

Because the other party has recovered self-awareness, from a scientific point of view, it is almost equivalent to another form of human existence.

So, using "it" is no longer appropriate.

"I understand, I also know this, but since the delineation of the area in Donghu City, there have been no skinning and murder cases at all, at least not in the police station's database."

Sighing wearily, Manyang got up and poured two glasses of water, and handed one of them to Bai Jie.

"Thank you."

Reaching out to take the cup, Bai Jie, who was also at a loss, said a little dejectedly: "It seems that we can only wait for the weather to clear up and go to the middle of the lake to salvage a few more times. As for the excuse, let's say it's cleaning up." The garbage and silt in the water are gone, what do you think?"

Recently, it has been raining in Donghu City.

Because it is necessary to avoid the vigilance of resentful spirits.

So Bai Jie, don't plan to interfere too much with the local weather.

At least until many truths are found out.

"I think it works."

Listening to Bai Jie's speech, Manyang nodded in agreement.

But then.

The young man cast his eyes on the black cat in the boy's arms: "But then again, is this in your hand the support sent to us by the headquarters, a cat?"

"To be precise, it should be a general-purpose spell."

Shaking his head to correct Manyang's inappropriate wording, Bai Jie held Jiang Sheng up and placed it beside the transparent glass table.

"Although I have many questions, it seems wiser not to ask."

Squinting his eyes, he looked up and down the black cat's body several times.

Manyang chuckled suddenly, and waved at the little animal in front of him a little strangely.

"It's quite cute, come here and let my brother hug me."

Unfortunately, the next moment, the black cat ruthlessly moved away.

"No, you are already, almost 30 years old, and you smell like cigarettes all over your body."

"..."

"..."

The air in the office was silent for a while.

"It can talk?"

Silently looking up at Bai Jie, Manyang pointed to the black cat expressionlessly and asked.

"It can talk."

Bai Jie gave him a very clear answer.

"Tsk."

After taking a breath, the young man sat back on his seat with regret: "What a wonderful cat, it's a pity that it has a mouth."

"cough."

But since Jiang Sheng had already spoken, of course he was going to say something.So before Man Yang started the next topic, the black cat coughed and jumped onto his desk.

"Okay, don't be too annoyed, I just want to liven up the atmosphere."

"Besides, since I'm here to help. Can you please tell me about the general situation here. After all, even if you want me to help you catch mice, you have to tell me the place, right? ?”

"Ah."

Breathing out lightly, Manyang's fingers tapped the table slowly.He glanced at Bai Jie.

Seeing the boy nodding, the young man put away his joking thoughts before, and said to Jiang Sheng solemnly.

"The case this time is similar to an urban ghost story that has only emerged in recent years. Although there are many versions of the ghost story, and even the origin is unreliable, the content of the story is basically the same. Moreover, some things are still happening today. It actually happened in the case."

"The name of the story is called Human Skin Raincoat."
