A heretical cultivator in Bureau 749, I'm the fiercest at pulling out tendons and skinning peop

Chapter 3 Peeling the Skin and Drawing the Bones, A Secret Maneuver

Seeing that the men had sentenced her to death with just a few words, the woman completely panicked.

She was so confident before because she was the only gang member who was accidentally caught by 749.

The gang is currently unaware that they have been arrested.

Holding the trump card of "exclusive information" in this situation, she was certain that in round 749, fearing the consequences, they would never dare to actually take her life.

But now, not only have they lost all their cards, but that bastard has stripped them bare, leaving them completely drained of their true value.

Seeing the identical, undisguised savage grins on Ji Zuodao's and the big black dog's faces, boundless fear instantly overwhelmed her.

She screamed at Deputy Director Liu, who was about to leave:

"Wait! I'm still useful! I can help you save people! I can bring the Zhao family girl back unharmed! Trust me! You have to trust me!"

"You bastard! Don't go! Get back here! Get back here—!"

The pleas quickly turned into hysterical cursing, and the woman's psychological defenses were crumbling.

"Hehehehe..."

Ji Zuodao let out a series of chilling, sinister laughs.

"Dog, close the door."

The big black dog kicked off with its hind legs, and the heavy interrogation door slammed shut again, cutting off the outside world and extinguishing the woman's last glimmer of hope.

"What...what do you want to do?"

The woman's voice trembled with tears, and tears welled up in her eyes.

The young man in front of her felt far more terrifying than those upright investigators; despite his handsome appearance, he exuded an air of evil.

Ji Zuodao did not answer, but simply raised his hand. His icy fingertips, like venomous snakes, slowly slid across the woman's smooth cheek, stroked her lips, and finally stopped on her slightly trembling collarbone.

"So smooth... such a beautiful face, such a lovely appearance."

He murmured in admiration, his eyes filled with fascination, as if he were appreciating a perfect work of art.

The woman was startled, her heart filled with surprise and doubt:

Could it be... that this kid has taken a liking to me?

Thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible.

Her skin and flesh must have been nourished by the essence of countless young boys and girls to achieve such a beautiful appearance.

This might be a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation! If I could bewitch him...

Her survival instinct made her suppress her fear, quickly adjust her expression, her eyes instantly filled with tears, and her voice became soft and alluring:

"Brother~ I don't want to die... As long as you spare my life, I'll do whatever you want~"

"Really?"

"That's for sure~"

The woman struck while the iron was hot, her breath sweet as orchids.

"If you agree, from now on, my body... is yours."

"Body?"

Ji Zuodao shook his head, his infatuated expression instantly turning clear and cruel, a wicked smile spreading across his lips.

"No, no, no, you misunderstand. Dog Master and I have already made our arrangements—I only want your intact body. As for your flesh and blood, which are the result of your cultivation, that's Dog Master's."

"Huh? What?"

The woman didn't react for a moment, but a chill, originating from instinct, had already shot up her spine.

Until she saw Ji Zuodao pull out a strangely shaped, thin-as-a-cicada-wing skinning knife from somewhere, its blade gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light...

Only then did she truly understand what "peeling off the skin and separating the flesh" meant.

This is not an investigator from 749 at all!

This is fucking heretical cultivation!

"Liu Zhou! Liu Zhou, you son of a bitch! You colluded with evil cultivators! You'll die a horrible death! I'm going to expose you! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

The woman uttered a horrifying curse as her body struggled wildly in her specially made shackles, banging against the chair with a thud.

The only response she received was Ji Zuodao's gleeful, sinister laugh and a reassuring remark to Dog Master:

"Dog, don't rush. Let me peel the skin off completely for you. That way it's cleaner to eat, and it won't hurt your teeth or make your mouth dirty."

Outside the interrogation room, Liu Ming listened to the faint "friendly greetings" and screams coming from inside the door, directed at his father.

Without changing his expression, he took out a few more high-quality soundproofing sheets and carefully reinforced them on the door.

After a while, the interrogation room door clicked open from the inside.

The one who came out was none other than the female kidnapper!

She appeared completely unharmed, and even her gait still retained some of her original charm.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the Liu father and son, she gracefully performed an old-fashioned curtsy, her voice soft and alluring:

"This young lady greets you."

Deputy Director Liu's eyelids twitched, and he roughly knew what was going on—

That old monster's signature skill, the art of "skin refining," this kid has indeed mastered it.

But Liu Ming didn't know that!

His scalp tingled instantly, and without thinking, he pulled out a thick stack of crimson talismans.

The spiritual energy surged, and it looked like a saturation attack like a celestial maiden scattering flowers was about to strike!

"Holy crap! No! We're on the same side! Just kidding! Friendly fire! Friendly fire!"

Ji Zuodao, who was disguised as a woman, almost lost his soul when he saw the dozens of explosive flame talismans ready to be unleashed.

This is going to explode! The entire interrogation area will be blown to smithereens! He'll be standing shoulder to shoulder with the sun!

He quickly strained his voice and howled out in his natural tone.

"Hime...Hime brothers?!"

Liu Ming froze, his eyes widening like copper bells, and he almost dropped the talisman in his hand.

He moved closer in disbelief, instinctively reaching out to pinch the flawless face in front of him.

"How...how did you do that?!"

"Hmm~"

Ji Zuodao, with malicious intent, maintained her female form and deliberately made a coquettish sound in a pinched voice.

Liu Ming felt half of his body go numb on the spot, and then realized that this "beautiful woman" was actually a man. His stomach churned and he felt a chill run down his spine, so he took two steps back.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Deputy Director Liu clapped his hands and laughed heartily, repeatedly expressing his amazement.

"Bone-changing and appearance-remodeling, a thousand faces and forms conceal the true nature. Borrowing a few appearances from all beings, returning, one is neither myself nor others."

"You've actually mastered that old ghost's 'skin refining' technique! He even praised you to me last time, calling you a once-in-a-millennium genius!"

"Uncle Liu, you flatter me."

Ji Zuodao then stopped his teasing and his voice returned to normal.

"Can we fool those people?"

Deputy Director Liu pressed for further details.

Although he doesn't like to use his brain, he's no fool to have reached this position, and he roughly guessed Ji Zuodao's plan.

"rest assured."

A glint of confidence flashed across Ji Zuodao's face.

"Wearing this 'skin,' I can access most of her memories and habits, and imitating her will be no problem."

"Wear...wear a physical body?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Liu Ming felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

He couldn't help but peek into the interrogation room—

The interior was unusually clean, with no bloody scenes as expected.

There wasn't even a trace of blood, as if the woman had never existed.

Just then, Dog Grandpa strolled past his feet and let out a loud, satisfied burp.

Liu Ming saw it clearly—

When the big black dog opened its mouth, its scarlet tongue casually curled up, licking away the last strand of dark red flesh between its teeth.
