Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 81 Strange Fragrance
In this room, except for my sister-in-law and the little girl, everyone else is a card maker.

When the blood spurted out of the cake, Tang Youai shouted loudly.

"Back off! Be careful!"

His eyes were fixed on the cake, and all kinds of bad thoughts appeared in his mind.

It was obvious that this was no ordinary cake.

Hidden beneath the cake's crust was blood!

The sister-in-law screamed and dropped the knife in her hand, then immediately turned around, covered her daughter's eyes, and took her away.

Director Tang suppressed his anger, walked over, and grabbed the knife that was still stuck in the cake.

Zhang Jingtian on the side couldn't help but remind him:
"Director Tang, um, please be careful."

Tang Youai hummed, "I know, but this cake is probably fine."

He grabbed the cake knife and directly removed the cream from the surface of the cake.

What appeared in front of him next was that the bottom of the cake was not a cake base, but a piece of meat.

A piece of meat that looked like it had just been cut from the thigh.

The texture and sheen left no doubt that this was a piece of human flesh.

"This thing isn't alive," Tang Youai said confidently. "We need to find out who made this cake right away!"

The security team members are well-trained and they know that their vacation is gone again.

But there's nothing we can do about it. This thing is too weird. There's no need to think about it. It must be the work of a ghost from the Scourge.

If it spreads throughout the city, it will be the end of everything.

"I, I ordered it online."

Tang Youai's wife came out. She had already comforted her daughter, but she didn't look well and was very weak.

It looked like any gust of wind would blow him away.

"Give me the address!"

Tang Youai knew that his lover must be feeling upset.

However, he couldn't find the time to comfort the person in front of him.

Now he must first find the source of this thing.

Fortunately, my sister-in-law was already used to this, and she consciously told me the address.

Then the security team immediately went to this private bakery.

Zhang Jingtian looked at the suddenly empty room and the candle that fell on the ground, and felt a sigh of regret.

It was quite lively here just now.

"How do we deal with this thing?" Zhang Jingtian asked.

"Throw it away," Tang Youai sighed. "A bottle girl wouldn't eat this kind of thing. You probably don't want to eat it, do you?"

Zhang Jingtian shook his head: "Of course not, I don't have pica."

Then Zhang Jingtian threw the cakes into the trash bag and threw it away.

But he couldn't help swallowing while he was cleaning up.

Obviously, he should feel disgusted when he found out that the cake was actually made of human flesh.

But he had the urge to take a bite.

The scent of blood and human flesh made him linger.

After returning, Zhang Jingtian immediately told Tang Youai about the situation.

Tang Youai, sitting on the sofa, was searching for similar incidents on his computer.

He didn't expect that there were actually several cases on the forum.

It's common to find strange things inside food when buying it. For example, someone bought fresh food by express delivery, but received rotten food.

However, the poster was just complaining about the merchant, and no one at the time would link it to any abnormal incidents.

Another one is takeout ordered for myself, which is something like sashimi.

But when he ate a few pieces of meat, he felt the taste was very strange.

However, when he shared online that he suspected the meat might be human flesh, he was surprised that no one supported him. Instead, they thought he was crazy.

After all, does this sound like a pretty enjoyable fantasy of paranoia?

But now, Tang Youai feels that these things are probably related.

When these insignificant events come together, they may trigger a huge wave.

Hearing Zhang Jingtian's words, Tang Youai looked at the knife used to cut the cake, then leaned over and smelled it.

"Director Tang!"

It was not until Zhang Jingtian snatched the knife from Tang Youai's hand that Tang Youai finally woke up from his dream.

Just now, after he smelled the strange fragrance on the knife, he actually lost consciousness for a moment.

Tang Youai cleared his throat and asked uncertainly, "What did I just do?"

Zhang Jingtian glanced at Tang Youai and whispered, "Hey, Director Tang, you just stuck out your tongue and almost licked it."

"Did I lick it?"

Tang Youai never thought that he could actually stick out his tongue.

"I called you."

Zhang Jingtian was completely stunned. He didn't expect Tang Youai to actually stick out his tongue.

He couldn't even imagine what would happen if Tang Youai really licked it.

"This thing seems to be more dangerous than I expected."

Tang Youai was still in shock. He had never thought that he would be tempted.

He is not some low-level card maker.

"This matter must be taken seriously." Tang Youai glanced at Zhang Jingtian with a hesitant look on his face.

Logically speaking, Zhang Jingtian’s current task is to prepare for the college entrance examination, and he shouldn’t worry about such things at all.

But Zhang Jingtian, how to say it, he already knows all this. Even if he doesn't allow it, he can't stop Zhang Jingtian from secretly checking.

And most importantly, Zhang Jingtian was indeed a smart person. Director Tang even felt that if this task was given to Zhang Jingtian, he would probably be more likely to complete it than any of his other teammates in the Public Security Bureau.

"If you want to investigate, you can, but no matter what you do, you must report it to me first.

This incident was very dangerous. Look, I almost got into trouble. A ghost that can seduce even a platinum card maker is not something you can deal with alone."

Tang Youai sighed, "Maybe this incident will be even more troublesome than the previous Xihu incident."

"Although the incident at Xihu Lake was dangerous, it was just a group of ghosts running out together, so it would be much easier to stop them.

But this time, it is more secretive, intricate, and has penetrated deep into the city.

If we want to eradicate it, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome."

Tang Youai's words were not groundless.

Zhang Jingtian didn’t know what would happen if he really ate the cake.

He walked over to Tang Youai and saw the problematic posts that Tang Youai had summarized. He said softly:

"Director Tang, why don't we go find the guy who ate the sashimi? According to the time, it was two days ago. If he really ate human flesh, then we can see the effects on him now."

Tang Youai nodded: "Yeah, I think so too, let's go together."

At the same time, a group of rats climbed into the trash can, bit through the garbage bag, and began to feast on it.
