Hyper-fusion, I have infinite forms.

Chapter 134 The Skinner

After leaving the sheriff to handle the scene, Wu Wanqing took a few people downstairs.

"A monster like the Skinner can transform into the human it has preyed on at any time. If it eats the target's brain, it can even gain the target's memory and daily habits."

Wu Wanqing took the lead and walked in front. Although his right leg was mechanical, Zhou Yan, observing from behind, could hardly tell that he had any inconvenience.

If we compare it with Earth's technology, it would be very difficult to make a mechanical prosthesis as convenient as his.

Therefore, Zhou Yan guessed that this mechanical leg was probably some kind of divine creation.

"If it hadn't transformed back to its original form or been killed, it would be difficult for ordinary people to see its flaws. Even using medical methods to test its blood and DNA, there was no difference from its original form."

Luo Xuan asked the question that concerned her the most: "I have also heard of this kind of monster, but I am more concerned about their combat power."

“Haha.” Wu Wanqing took a deep puff while holding the cigarette in his mouth. “At the weakest, it’s about the same as an ordinary Miao-level master. But if it is allowed to devour the flesh of a master, it will have the corresponding physical strength and martial arts of a master. If it is allowed to eat a True Realm expert, it will also have the strength of a True Realm expert. Maybe a certain Mad Realm expert in the empire is actually a Skinner in disguise, hahahaha!”

Crazy Realm? Is this a realm above the True Realm?
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows.

Luo Xuan at the side questioned: "There are no more than a hundred strong people in the Mad Realm in the entire empire. Each of them is incredibly strong and has their own unique divine machine. How is it possible..."

"Haha." Wu Wanqing laughed loudly, "It's just a joke, Expert Luo, don't take it seriously."

His face was calm. "Modern human forces and information means are changing with each passing day. It is indeed unlikely that the Skinners can reach the top. However, in the secret records of the past, the Skinners have caused a lot of trouble. Some city lords or vassal kings have even been replaced. In some extreme cases, there are terrible legends that a large number of Skinners have gathered and replaced all the humans in the village."

While chatting, he had already followed the instructions of the compass and brought the three of them to the school wall.

"It seems that the beast has left the school." Wu Wanqing spat and turned to look at Lu Ming, "Lu Ming, go drive my car outside this wall."

After saying that, he bent his knees slightly and directly jumped over the wall which was more than three meters high.

Lu Ming also obediently looked back and ran towards the parking space in the school playground.

"Can we get through?" Luo Xuan turned around and looked at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan smiled slightly and jumped over the wall first with a neat movement.

Luo Xuan stood there with an inexplicable look on his face.

She always felt that after she confessed her life story to Zhou Yan, this guy seemed to have changed a little, and was much less reserved towards her.

Shaking his head, Luo Xuan didn't think any more and jumped over the wall.

An hour and a half later, in the suburbs.

A rather impressive jeep turned right from the main road and drove into the small road. After passing a boundary marker with "Shouhe Village" written on it, it slowly pulled over and stopped.

"The road is not wide enough to drive on."

Wu Wanqing got off the car first, then turned around and looked at Luo Xuan and Zhou Yan who followed closely behind him.

Lu Ming backed the car to the outside and parked it.

While waiting for Lu Ming, Wu Wanqing asked with a smile: "Expert Luo, haven't you bought a car yet?"

"Well, I just arrived in Yicheng and haven't had time yet." Luo Xuan responded softly.

"Buy it early, it will be much more convenient for commuting and patrolling." As he spoke, Wu Wanqing took out his cigarette box and took out a cigarette. While lighting it, he said in a muffled voice: "Anyway, working in the Demon Exorcist Department, you never know when you might die. Buy it early and enjoy it early."

Zhou Yan laughed and said, "Expert Wu, you are a little too depressed."

Wu Wanqing glanced at him and said, "I have seen many young people like you in the Demon Exorcism Department over the years. None of them lasted more than three years. Half of them died, and the other half retired due to disability."

"The casualty rate is so high?" Zhou Yan smiled slightly, "No wonder the salary is so high, it turns out it's money to buy our lives."

Seeing Zhou Yan's open-minded look, Wu Wanqing couldn't help but admire: "Little brother, you are really open-minded. Maybe you can achieve something great."

As he was speaking, Lu Ming had already parked the car and was jogging over.

Wu Wanqing put on a cigarette, looked down at the compass, and led the three people along the path towards the village. "Anyway, follow the direction of the compass and head towards the village first."

After entering the village, perhaps because it was noon and the villagers were taking a nap, the whole village seemed a little quiet.

Following Wu Wanqing through the village, Zhou Yan twitched his nose and looked at Luo Xuan beside him.

The girl just happened to turn her head and look at him, her expression calm.

The two of them tacitly did not speak.

After walking into the village for about seven or eight minutes, Wu Wanqing stopped in front of a house.

"It's nearby. The compass positioning only indicates that it is within 20 meters of the target."

Wu Wanqing put away the compass, and the sharp-eyed Zhou Yan discovered that the red needle on the compass had turned green.

Zhou Yan looked at the white-walled and gray-tiled buildings in front of him and couldn't help but sigh slightly. Although this village in the suburbs of the city is called a village, the living standards of the villagers do not seem to be bad.

So, the skinner is in this little villa?
Wu Wanqing took two steps forward and patted the door with his hand: "Fellow villager, fellow villager, are you there? Open the door, please!"

His sudden behavior made Zhou Yan stunned for a moment. He thought that as a member of a special department, his actions would be more secretive.

For example, climbing over the wall and sneaking in to take a secret look.

"Come on! Stop filming!" Someone quickly responded in the room.

After a while, footsteps were heard coming from behind the door.

Soon, the gate of the yard was opened, revealing the dark face of a middle-aged man inside.

He saw that the people knocking on the door were four people in black uniforms. He was slightly startled, then asked with a smile: "Sirs, what do you want to cooperate with me?"

Wu Wanqing had a kind smile on his face, but combined with his scarred face and those unconcealed mechanical eyes, he did not look kind at all.

The villager was so scared that he took a step back.

"Don't panic, we are from the Public Security Department, and we are here to find out something from Big Brother." Wu Wanqing said with a smile, "It won't take up too much of your time."

"Okay then." The villager hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside and let the few people into the yard.

"Sir, I have always abided by the law and have never done anything bad!" The villager said tremblingly as he led the way.

"Don't worry, I'm just here to ask questions." Wu Wanqing followed behind nonchalantly, "Brother, how many people are there in your family?"

"That's good. If the commander has any questions, I will definitely cooperate!" The villager uncle seemed relieved, and then quickly answered Wu Wanqing's question, "There are five people in my family. Two children work in the city. I live with my wife and mother in the countryside."

In front, Wu Wanqing was chatting with the villager in a relaxed tone.

Behind, on the other side of Zhou Yan, Lu Ming frowned, feeling something was wrong. He took two steps forward to remind Wu Wanqing.

Wu Wanqing asked lightly while joking, "Fellow villager, how many people are still alive in our village?"

His words were like a bolt from the blue, scaring Lu Ming who was following behind him so much that he trembled all over and subconsciously reached for the demon-slaying sword at his waist.

The villager uncle also stopped suddenly.

He turned his head slowly and forced a smile: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"

"Hehe." Wu Wanqing moved his nose. "The smell of blood in your house is too strong. It's not just your house."

“This whole village stinks.”
