Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 191 The Puppet Whose Skin Was Stolen

We chose a mid-range hotel in Elottis.

The group forged their identities and checked into the hotel.

"Shouldn't we deal with those small fry outside?"

Leng Qingying sat on the bed in Lu Cang's room and asked.

"Hmm... there's no need to take the initiative against them."

These blatant acts of malice are far more comforting than deeply hidden conspiracies.

"They should come on their own."

"If they really don't want to come, we can just go find them tonight."

Leng Qingying: "Oh..."

The country of Erotis is indeed chaotic, but the crimes still only happen in alleys and dark places.

There was no blatant killing in the street.

Even in the alleys, I didn't see any acts of murder, though there were punishments like cutting off someone's hand.

But in this world...

A severed hand isn't that serious; with a little money, it can be reattached, or even regenerated.

Losing an arm or a leg is nothing special.

It's described as chaotic.

However, Erotis does have a certain degree of rule of law; if you have to say something, it's a country with low moral standards and chaotic public order.

It's hardly a lawless place.

If people were to kill indiscriminately and their fates were uncertain, no one would live here.

"I'm going out."

Lu Cang stepped onto the window and looked back at Leng Qingying.

"Come with me too."

Leng Qingying: "Oh."

In the blink of an eye, Lu Cang disappeared through the window.

Leng Qingying also disappeared from the room.

The two appeared in the alley.

The country of Erotis is not very large; at a glance, it is probably only slightly larger than Knolloa.

But Knoloa is just a city in Loren.

Erotis was already an entire country.

"Luluwei's senses have already detected several forbidden areas that have been sealed off."

"Let's go take a look now."

Although Luluwei is a Level 5 Observer, her perception is still difficult to penetrate if there are strong perception blockades in some areas.

Swish!
Their figures flickered in the darkness.

Leng Qingying

"God-level Infinite Illusion"

This talent cannot be found in the talent list; god-level talents are basically unrecorded in the world.

However, the "God-level Hidden Origin" also confirmed that Leng Qingying's talent is god-level.

As for his parents... they are indeed dead.

Besides.

Leng Qingying also possesses a natural constitution—the "Void Killing Body".

Based on relevant information from the Body Constitution Atlas.

With this physical constitution, one can greatly improve their proficiency in assassination techniques by killing people without being detected.

Furthermore, people with this physique are very difficult to detect, and it seems that the physique will continue to evolve as more people are killed... It has good growth potential.

It can be considered a top-tier physique suitable for assassins.

Leng Qingying stopped abruptly as she stepped onto the roof.

"Hmm?" Lu Cang also stopped in his tracks.

Leng Qingying looked down.

A middle-aged man with a full beard was dragging a small child towards a dark corner, with her tied up.

"Don't scream!"

"You worthless orphan, even if you die, no one will seek justice for you!"

"I've been watching you for days, just waiting for someone to vent my anger on me."

Leng Qingying's gaze was icy as she watched what was happening in the alley.

He asked, "Can I kill him?"

Lu Cang: "Do I need to ask you?"

call--

A faint flow of blood.

It flowed down the cold blade of the dagger.

The little girl stared wide-eyed at the dagger tip protruding from the man's throat.

wow-

The ropes binding his hands and feet were suddenly cut.

The petite figure drew a dagger, twirled it in her hand, and then inserted it back into the bandage on the outside of her thigh.

He walked up to the little girl.

Open a bottle of medicine and pour it over her head.

The emerald-green medicine exudes a mild, herbal fragrance.

The little girl felt her wounds gradually itch, and the pain was being repaired.

A bag fell to the ground.

"Walk."

The petite figure in black robes left behind a cold remark and then vanished.

All that remained was a disheveled man lying in a pool of blood.

Then I opened the bag and took another look.

It contained hundreds of copper coins, dozens of silver coins, and one gold coin.

Lu Cang looked at Leng Qingying, who had returned to his side.

Lu Cang smiled and said, "You have a very keen mind."

Leng Qingying's voice was cold: "Let's go."

The little girl just stood there, staring at the man lying in a pool of blood for a few seconds, before clutching the bag and running frantically into the shadows.

Lu Cang glanced at it...

He casually tossed out a fireball.

call!
The fireball struck the man's corpse, and flames rose.

The man's body, along with the pool of blood, was burned completely.

"So be it."

……

Leng Qingying and Lu Cang approached the barrier.

This distance isn't too far from my residence.

At Chi Cheng's speed, he should be able to arrive in an instant.

"It's here."

Before me was a pitch-black wall.

The wall is a tower, with a tall clock tower standing on the southwest side of the city.

No one would have guessed that there was a hidden world inside the clock tower.

In fact, as they approached, Lu Cang had already used his senses to investigate everything inside.

It is indeed undoubtedly closely related to the molting rose.

Lu Cang then took out a book from his storage bag.

Slight touch.

Peeling the Skin Secret Sequel (Volume 1)

"Creator: Ailan"

"position--"

Lu Cang's senses probed deep into the earth, and at the very deepest point, there was a "person" undergoing a molting process.

that's it.

Death date – 2 days later.

Inside this underground palace, there are also many bloody scrolls written on flesh and blood.

That's true, typical of skin snatchers.

The principle followed by skin snatchers is to peel off the flesh and skin of living beings and seize their skin.

Let's capture them alive.

But not now...

This is just one of the locations that Luluwei discovered.

We need to visit the other locations again.

To avoid alerting the enemy by catching one.

This gave others a chance to escape.

"Luluwei".

"Ok?"

"Keep an eye on the whole city and see if anyone tries to escape. If anyone leaves, pay extra attention."

"Pay special attention to whether there are any scars on their skin that look like creases, especially on places like the back."

"Oh……"

Should we pay extra attention?
Luluwei scanned the entire Erotis.

In such a large country, people are constantly going out and coming in.

Luluwei's senses swept over everyone who left the city.

Fortunately, it's a Level 5 observer.

Otherwise, who has the energy to watch so many people at the same time?
A normal person's perception is limited to focusing on one place.

If you're slightly stronger, you can focus on two or three areas at the same time.

At the same time, we are paying close attention to the movements of several thousand people.

That's really putting people in a difficult position.

"If there are such people, please have Brother Chi Cheng stop them and test them a little."

Through Luluwei's role as an observer, everyone in the city can communicate instantly.

However, this requires quite a bit of effort from the observer.

Normally, when they're in Knoroa, people wouldn't use Luluvi as a relay radar for no reason.

Chi Cheng replied in Lu Cang's mind, "Okay!"

Luluwei can indeed attack that far, but it's really hard to tell whether she's a skin snatcher just from the scars.

What if the other person is really just injured?
What if Luluwei shoots an arrow without distinguishing right from wrong and kills an innocent person?
After giving the instructions.

Lu Cang left a source in the same spot.

They will then take control of the restrictions.

Now, due to the restrictions placed on this place, the person inside no longer has the right to leave.

This restriction, designed to prevent others from entering, has sealed him inside.

At the same time, Lu Cang changed the restriction that blocked his senses, and after a period of time, his senses would also be unable to detect the outside world.

"Wait here for me, I'll go to a few other places by myself first."

Snapped--

A white light flashed like lightning in an instant.

Lu Cang's figure had disappeared.

Leng Qingying stood still, puffed out her right cheek, and blew air to her left cheek.

Will you wait here?

Are you complaining that I'm too slow?
Having broken free from Leng Qingying, Lu Cang instantly traversed the city, large and small, in a streak of white light.

Whoosh!
A moment later, the white light suddenly landed and coalesced into a human shape.

It's another tower.

Beneath this tower lies the palace, still buried underground.

However, there were no skin snatchers inside the palace.

However, there are also many volumes of documents written on human skin piled up.

Snapped--

Lu Cang immediately transformed into white light again.

Heading to the next location.

We explored four locations in a row.

In the two towers at the southwest and northeast corners, there are two skin snatchers in the palace.

If each skin snatcher has their own palace, then there should be two other skin snatchers in the four corner towers.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Cang arrived at the palace of Erotis.

There are also shields here that Luluwei can't access.

It's perfectly normal for the palace to have a screen.

The palace in Knolloa is also shielded.

Moreover, the effect is extremely strong.

Lu Cang easily bypassed the palace's restrictions that prohibited outsiders from passing through and landed inside the palace.

There's a wall separating us.

They saw the King of Erotis, the secret passage in the King's bedchamber, and the dark room that the passage led to.

It was a room covered in blood.

There was a man imprisoned in the cage in the room.

Human skins were hanging everywhere on the walls.

Lu Cang did not carefully observe the king sitting on the throne.

Because perception can also be sensed.

Too much perception can be easily detected by powerful individuals, and Lu Cang is not a profession that specializes in perception.

Even if there are some ways to reduce the fluctuations in perception, they are too direct and are still easily detected.

Just like Lu Cang himself could see the sensory fluctuations of others.

Even if others can't clearly see the fluctuations, they'll still notice the intense gaze directed at them.

Therefore, Lu Cang's observation was only a cursory glance. He roughly knew that there was someone there.

Instead of staring intently at him, you won't be easily noticed.

Lu Cang's figure flashed again.

It is also used in conjunction with "Azure Flow - Fourth Form: Forgetfulness and Emptiness".

They arrived at the king's bedchamber without making a sound.

By breaking through the restrictions and mechanisms, and entering the secret passage, one enters the other party's secret chamber.

The man in the cage had his hands cuffed to the cage, and half of his body was cramped inside the cage.

The man heard the sound.

He suddenly raised his head.

But then they saw a man wearing a mask.

"Why are you locked up here?" Lu Cang's voice was deep and muffled, clearly that of a middle-aged man.

"Ha ha……"

"What are you pretending for?"

"Didn't you arrest me?"

Lu Cang thought for a moment, then took off his mask.

The face of a middle-aged man was revealed.

“I am an investigator from the Church of Life. I heard that Erotis had clues about the Molting Rose, so I came to investigate.”

"This place was discovered during the investigation."

Lu Cang presented the emblem of his Church of Life, which shimmered with emerald light.

This emerald light symbolizes that the badge was sent to the church within three days and infused with life force.

If it were stolen or forged, it could not possibly possess such brilliance.

With such a method of identification, it is difficult for people with ulterior motives to pretend to be believers in a legitimate religion.

Look at this badge.

The man's pupils contracted, and he took a cold breath.

His face showed an expression as if he had been granted a pardon, and tears streamed down his face.

Lu Cang calmly put away the badge: "If you cry again, tell me the details."

bang——

With a casual flick of his wrist, Lu Cang shattered the entire cage and its shackles into pieces.

She casually tossed a piece of clothing to the man.

Holding back tears of relief, the man clutched his clothes and looked around, saying, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go!"

"He doesn't know when he'll be back."

Lu Cang glanced outside.

Actually, that guy probably won't be back for a while.

However, if it were me, I wouldn't want to stay in the enemy's lair either.

Lu Cang led the other person out of the secret room.

His name was Vidal, a prince of Erotis, who witnessed his father being killed and skinned by the Skin-Stealers.

Upon seeing this scene, I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Once discovered, they were captured and taken to a secret room.

Hearing the other party's description.

Lu Cang was speechless.

Do you want to be even more cunning in your approach?

However, with your strength as a level 2 warrior and level 2 scholar, others probably don't need you to exclaim in surprise.

I guess they sensed and saw you a long time ago, and were just playing with you.

Lu Cang swaggered along the way.

Turn left, turn right.

Vidal was on tenterhooks, fearing he would be discovered.

But to his surprise, following Lu Cang was a smooth journey, and he didn't see a single person.

How weird.

Players who change jobs only unlock their perception ability at level 3.

Vidal is without perception.

"In other words, the current king is actually the skin-stealer."

"right……"

How long have you been detained?

"I've been locked up for about a year."

"So long?"

It seems that Erotis has been completely infiltrated from the inside out.

Determining whether someone is a skin snatcher is actually not that simple.

Unless you see him molt and change his skin in public.

Otherwise, if the other party disguises themselves as an ordinary person, unless one's senses are extremely deep enough to explore every corner of their body, it's really impossible to tell.

If a job changer wants to hide their true strength, you really have to investigate carefully to find out.

Warriors are the easiest to judge because they can sense the strength of a person's body.

But archers and assassins are different roles.

How can you judge someone who walks on the street like an ordinary person and whose physical strength is not comparable to that of a warrior?

Perception can never reveal a person's profession at a glance.

Not to mention, skin snatchers are naturally good at disguising themselves.

"Heh...that guy."

"They kept me in a cage, but never killed me."

"On the contrary, they would bring people back from time to time, kill them in front of me, and skin them alive."

Vidal gritted his teeth.

“My uncles, my great-uncles, I saw them killed by that guy with my own eyes.”

Lu Cang said in a middle-aged man's voice, "Please accept my condolences."

Do you remember what the uncles and elder brothers you mentioned look like?

If all the uncles and elder brothers were killed.

If they were still in the palace, it would probably prove that these people were imposters who stole the skin.

How many skin snatchers are there exactly?
Isn't the Skin Snatcher a secret scroll profession?

Lu Cang handed the other person a stack of papers.

"This is a writing paper that can read out the images you imagine in your mind."

Vidal understood immediately.

He then began to recall the appearance of the murdered person on the paper.

soon.

Images appeared on more than a dozen sheets of paper.

These people all looked pained, to varying degrees.

Vidal could hardly forget the pained expressions on those people's faces in his memory.

It's probably because these memories were so vivid that they weren't forgotten even during the Forgotten Month.

However, the faces of some of them were somewhat blurred.

It's probably because of the Forgotten Month.

Lu Cang activated his senses, instantly scanning the entire palace.

Soon, they spotted several figures whose faces resembled those described by Vidal.

It really is there.

If we hastily arrest the few people we see and call it a day, we'll miss out on countless fish.

"Is there any other important intelligence?"

"besides……"

"besides!"

Vidal seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Six months ago, someone came to visit him in this secret room, and they mentioned Rega."

"They said they wanted to replace the King of Riga and control the entire Kingdom of Riga."

Tsk.

And this thing?

We've actually uncovered another incredible piece of information.

Lu Cang patted Vidal on the shoulder.

The other party's information also flowed into Lu Cang's mind.

Level 2 Warrior, Level 2 Scholar.

There was no forgery; he was indeed a prince of Erotis, whose father was dead but whose mother was still alive.

She is still the current empress.

……

It's unknown whether the empress has realized that her husband has changed.

"Any other information?"

Vidal tried hard to recall.

Finally shook his head.

Lu Cang nodded: "I understand."

I will take you to a safe place.

Lu Cang grabbed Vidal's shoulder.

The next second, the two of them took off from the dark forest outside the palace!

……

He took Vidal back to the hotel and booked a room for him alone.

He was warned not to go out or move around unnecessarily.

Afterwards, Lu Cang returned to the palace again.

Return to that secret room.

My fingers touched the leather bag hanging on the wall.

He also touched the tools used for skinning and the knife used for dismemberment.

It swept across the huge table.

This place was probably used for killing people.

Lu Cang couldn't help but think of it.

These guys also planned to confine themselves in this cramped, bloody basement.

To tie oneself to such a table.

Using bloody tools, they disembowel themselves, even while still alive, removing their skin.

tsk...

In his perception, thin lines spread out in all directions, and information about the skin snatchers appeared in Lu Cang's mind.

Each time I touch a related item, a piece of related information comes to mind.

This information is pieced together.

Then, they connect in my mind, forming a complete chain of time and evidence.

Everything that had happened seemed to be reflected in Lu Cang's mind.

Dengdengdengdeng——

The sound of footsteps descending the stairs could be heard.

The pace seemed a little hurried.

Lu Cang looked towards the entrance and saw a man dressed in black night clothes facing him.

He was thin and bony, yet exuded a murderous aura.

"Hey, why aren't you playing your pot-bellied king anymore?"

Lu Cang spoke in a flat tone, looking at him as if he were a dead man.

"Who are you."

"Why did it appear in my secret room?"

The man asked in a cold voice.

Lu Cang calmly replied, "What do you mean, your secret room?"

"This is my secret room."

The man was just about to make his move.

But then I felt a sudden dizziness!
boom!
All he could see was the blood-red ground level with his eyes.

When I came to my senses, I realized that my entire body was pressed against the ground.

"The skin of a level 5 assassin..."

The man tried his best to stand up.

His body remained completely still, pinned down firmly.

What a powerful force.

There was simply no way to struggle against him.

A sudden surge of sensation erupted!

Try to activate the restrictions in the room to sound an alarm!

however--

The restrictions I set up in the entire room had no effect whatsoever!
They didn't respond to his urging at all.

"I told you everything."

"This is my secret room."

Lu Cang squatted down and pressed his head down with his hand, holding it down tightly.

The other party's information was also transmitted into Lu Cang's mind.

"Oh……"

"Were your parents also skin snatchers?"

"I never imagined that this profession was hereditary."

"Ruijia...?"

Wow, it's actually in Ruijia?

If those things are true, then Ruijia is now truly an empty shell occupied by the skin snatchers.

Lu Cang asked, "I'm asking you, is the King of Ruijia truly under your control now?"
