Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"Um?"

"Someone actually managed to come back up from down here?"

The people in the cave were all surprised to see An Lan climb up from below.

but...

None of them stepped forward to greet them; they remained busy sewing human skin. Fine black threads danced in their hands, stringing together a pile of tattered human skin!

The skin sutures didn't seem as comfortable as I'd imagined.

"call--"

With a sigh of relief, An Lan climbed up, followed by the skinny "little princess," and headed towards the deepest part of the cave.

This scene once again startled the few oddballs who were busy at work.

"Oh ho?!"

"You're bringing a woman with you? A doll?"

"You can vent your anger now! Why are you still keeping him?"

"Brother! This is a human skin workshop, not a company where you can make a living!"

"You're here to have fun?"

An octopus-headed monster looked at An Lan with a mocking expression. Even while looking at An Lan, its tentacles continued to sew up the human skin, its hands never slacking off!

An Lan simply smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? It's not like it'll die!"

"No, that's not it..."

"But I'm afraid you won't even be able to support yourself!"

This time, the one who responded to An Lan was a strange man with a "pigeon head". After sewing the leather in his hand, he pointed to the pile of waste leather in the corner with a contemptuous look on his face.

"Hey—"

"That's where all the damaged skin is!"

"Today's task is to use these scraps of hide to make fifteen pieces of human skin!"

"If we can't finish... then we'll just have to wait to become raw materials!"

As Pigeon Head spoke, he walked deeper into the cave, reaching out to pick up a pile of tattered human skin. To the left of the pile of skins was a dense network of black lines; he grabbed a large clump and headed towards the cave's exit.

Nothing more!

The cave was too dark!

It was so dark you could barely see your hand in front of your face!

Everyone who sewed the human skin did so outside the cave, facing the light!

Inside this cave, besides the octopus head and the pigeon head, there was also a strange elephant-headed man who hadn't spoken a word. This man was silent, and his hands moved clumsily; beside him were only three or four pieces of human skin that had just been sewn together.

"..."

The atmosphere inside the cave was oppressive and rigid.

Everyone is only concerned with their own life and death; no one would care about a newcomer!

"Feed..."

"A giant crocodile... what do we do?"

"I often heard it in the box: 'If you don't complete the mission... you'll die, right?'"

The little princess looked at An Lan's large, scaly hands. How could An Lan possibly be someone who could sew human skin?

She didn't think An Lan was a good person, but An Lan was more normal than the other weirdos.

She still didn't want An Lan to die!

"I..."

"Let me help you!"

"If we do it together... maybe there's still a chance!"

Grabbing a piece of human skin, the little princess frowned, about to grab the black thread, when suddenly she screamed "Ah!" and stumbled back dozens of steps!

"What's wrong?"

"Line...line..."

An Lan frowned, took a closer look at the coiled black lines, and her pupils dilated involuntarily!

Good guy!

What the hell are those lines?

It's clearly hair!

Dark, dense black hair!

"Damn it..."

"So, if you fail the mission, you'll be forced to swallow a [pea] and turn into a head of black hair? To be used as raw material for sewing?!"

Suddenly, images of those strange people screaming and dying horribly flashed through An Lan's mind, and she realized what was going on!

All those frizzy black hairs end up here!

[666! This is way more ruthless than northern Myanmar! In northern Myanmar, if you fail a mission, the worst you get is a finger cut off, and you get one or two more chances before you're dismembered! Here, they don't even give you one chance, and they turn you into raw materials even after you're dead?!]

[I would call it the most ruthless factory ever!]

[This is fucking terrifying! It's from the original manufacturer and sold directly from the source!]

【...】

The live chat exploded at that moment!

An Lan stood in the corner, holding the black hair in her hand, and looked at the messy human skin on the ground. She fell silent for a moment.

He observed the strange figures at the cave entrance, their hands moving—almost all of them were using their own fingernails, sharpened into fine needles, to thread strands of hair through human skin and sew it together; this was how they created human skin...

But what about myself?

Do you want him to file his nails?

Just grinding it properly must take several steps, right?

Then what about making human skin?

He doesn't know how to sew, but he grits his teeth and tries. He can make three pieces a day, which is pretty impressive!

15 items?

We can't finish wrapping them all!

(Damn it! Ascension is a trap!)

(You'll die as soon as you come up!)

(No wonder some lower-level staff are taking so long to come up...)

After quickly reviewing the issues in her mind, An Lan realized that there was something clever about the design of this skinning workshop!

The demanding points system and the essential needs of daily life have effectively locked people into this place! Once you've accumulated enough points and finally climbed up the ranks, the cutoff line becomes even more stringent!

On the surface, they give you a glimmer of hope, but in reality, climbing higher means certain death!

There's absolutely no chance of getting out!

"Ho—"

"Behave yourself now?"

"You even brought a toy up here? Can you even support it? Do you even know how to live a normal life?"

The octopus-man, with the arrogance of someone who's been there all along, was certain that An Lan would be dumbfounded. It couldn't help but shake its head, its face full of mockery.

"Why aren't you making human skin yet?"

"I think! Tonight, after you turn into hair, the three of us will use this chick, and tomorrow we'll send you all to hell! You two can become a couple down there!"

The pigeon man also made a joke!

Even though they were mocking him, he didn't dare stop what he was doing!

This factory is so tough that you don't even dare to sit still and mock people!

"Hey! Big crocodile..."

"What...what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, the little princess turned pale and looked at An Lan.

An Lan turned his back and stood at the end of the cave, facing the wall. Suddenly, he grabbed a handful of human skin and hair, and whispered, "Stay away from me!"

"what?"

"Stay away from me!"

"If you don't want to die!"

"you--"

"hurry up!"

"..."

After being scolded by An Lan, the "little princess's" eyes reddened. She took a few steps back, looking weakly at An Lan. She didn't dare to go find human skin to help An Lan anymore...

But Anlan just kept collecting human skin and hair!

"Hahaha--"

"Hey kid, what are you messing around with?"

"You don't think that just wandering around aimlessly counts as completing the mission, do you?"

Mocking voices rang out behind her, but An Lan continued to move, though the collar around her neck vibrated incessantly.

Oh? How are you going to complete the task here?

Submerging himself completely in the darkness, An Lan silently waved his hand, and the stockpiled human skin and hair vanished beneath him! Because it was so dark, no one knew what An Lan had done...

"Yu Rou!"

"Wen Lan, do you know how to make clothes?"

"Help me sew up the human skin, do as much as you can!"

"Okay, using spatial abilities to levitate the leather, we should be able to make a dozen or so a day!"

"This... An Lan, bring as many human skins as possible! If I activate the corpse sewing technique, this... might not be enough!"

The voices of Chu Ningrou and Wen Lan reached her ears. An Lan huddled in the darkness, her face unusually calm!
