Star Rail Simulation, but Fate is Crazy

On the stalls, human skins of various shapes were laid out, some with obvious damage, as if they had been gnawed by time or some cruel means;

Some are covered with traces of damage, as if they have experienced countless unspeakable hardships;

Some were just body parts, placed there alone, exuding a gloomy atmosphere.

"Yo!"

A gentle yet playful voice sounded.

"Isn't this the leader of the Cult of Balance? You're usually so high and mighty, but how could you be so condescending as to come and take care of my business today..."

The stall owner selling human skin was a woman wearing a red wedding dress.

Bai Ge looked closely and his heart suddenly moved. He had seen her before.

[Beauty of Skin List]

【Name: Painted Skin】

Ranking: 16

The wedding dress was a dazzling red, like a burning flame. The silk shimmered with a strange luster under the dim lights of the black market, and every stitch seemed to hide an unknown secret.

The woman's face was extremely beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful. Her skin was as delicate and smooth as mutton-fat jade. There was a bewitching charm flowing between her eyebrows and eyes. Her nose was straight, and her lips were like delicate and tempting roses, as if a gentle kiss could lead people into the endless abyss.

Doesn’t it look beautiful?

However, at this moment, a cold wind blew past, like an invisible hand, ruthlessly tearing apart this beautiful appearance.

Bai Ge clearly saw that the seemingly flawless and beautiful appearance was actually wrinkled as the wind blew.

It turns out that the so-called "beautiful appearance" is really just a superficial skin!

"Perfect" World: Chapter 113: Shortcut to Sunshine

"just looking around……"

Bai Ge responded casually, trying to keep his tone calm, trying to hide his inner discomfort with this strange scene.

"You really should take a closer look."

The woman's voice was like a night owl, bringing a hint of coolness into Bai Ge's ears.

"Coming from the hands of the Flawless Judge, you've at least been skinned alive... Why not take a closer look?"

A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes wandered among the human skins in the stall.

"What we have here is pure natural human skin. As long as you can afford it, it's more than enough to make up for the layer of skin that was peeled off from you!"

make up?

Bai Ge pondered in his heart and subconsciously picked up a piece of human skin that looked like a glove.

He placed it before his eyes and examined it carefully.

At this moment, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.

This is definitely not as simple as "human skin"!

Beneath this seemingly ordinary surface, there is a deeper secret hidden - this thing is actually the "existence" of some people's skin!

But this peeling method is quite special.

Every time a layer of skin is peeled off, it means that the "existence" of some people's skin is reduced.

And if someone were to wear such a layer of human skin, their skin would be one step closer to so-called "perfection".

Bai Ge suddenly remembered the most beautiful woman on the Pure Beauty List.

That twisted posture.

It's simply a "harmonious" ecstasy!

He complained silently in his heart.

And at this moment, in the dim black market passage.

A man stumbled and ran towards this side, shouting urgently: "Master Painted Skin!"

He has a tall figure and handsome face, and his clothes are well-cut and exquisitely matched, showing his extraordinary talent.

However, at this moment, he was holding a piece of skin as thin as a cicada's wing in his hand, which turned out to be the face of a little girl.

Even though her skin has been torn off her body, one can still tell that this girl will be stunningly beautiful when she grows up.

"This is my daughter's face!"

Painted Skin's eyes were instantly attracted by the mask, and his eyes were full of greed and love.

She instantly put aside the matter of Bai Ge buying the skin, reached out and gently took it, stroking it lovingly and praisingly saying, "Not bad! You did a great job!"

"According to the principle of equal exchange here, tell me, what do you want?"

When the man heard this, his eyes instantly lit up with ecstasy. His smile bloomed on his face like a hungry wolf seeing its prey. He said loudly without hesitation, "I want to be on the Pure Beauty List!"

After hearing this condition.

Painted Skin looked up and down at the man in front of him, and his originally relaxed brows gradually furrowed.

She wondered to herself, why is this guy covered in artificial leather?

Seeing that he looks like a normal human, I thought he would have a lot of natural skin on his body.

She sighed in her heart, thought for a moment, and her gaze fell back on the little girl's face in her hand. Finally, she decided to give the man a chance.

A hint of teasing flashed in Painted Skin's eyes, and he asked slowly, "Any list is fine?"

The man nodded vigorously, his face filled with enthusiasm, and responded decisively, "Of course!"

"The price of what you brought isn't enough. However, I can give you a great opportunity!"

"What opportunity is it?" The man's eyes instantly lit up with burning anticipation.

"You become Painted Skin." Painted Skin said word by word, his eyes fixed on the man, observing his reaction.

"no problem!"

The man agreed very readily. In his mind, as long as he could be on the list of pure beauties, he would be willing to do anything.

Then he couldn't wait to ask: "What happens next?"

"After that, just kowtow three times."

The corners of Painted Skin's mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

The man heard what Painted Skin said.

He knelt heavily on the ground with a "thump" and then began to kowtow like pounding garlic.

"Boom!"

This is the first kowtow.

The man's cheek was pressed to the ground, and the flesh under his skin seemed to be quietly pulled away by a mysterious force, and quickly shriveled up. The originally plump skin instantly became wrinkled and lost its blood color.

Then, the second head fell.

"Boom!"

This sound seemed to shatter the man's vitality.

His abdomen began to collapse, and the organs in his body disappeared bit by bit like a dream bubble, turning into nothingness.

"Boom!"

The third bow is completed.

The man's body trembled violently, and his bones made a creepy "cracking" sound. Then, the bones in his body collapsed instantly as if struck by lightning.

The tiny bone fragments seemed to be swallowed by the earth and disappeared from his body.

Bai Ge watched helplessly until finally, only a layer of skin remained of the man's body, like an empty piece of clothing, as he collapsed to the ground.

Soon, a mysterious force, almost invisible and with a hint of chill, quietly emerged, like an invisible hand, and began to slowly fill the empty shell.

Not long after, the man appeared in front of Bai Ge again.

But he was very different now.

Her originally ordinary figure now became extremely even and perfect, and every line seemed to have been carefully carved; her skin even glowed with a strange luster, just like the finest mutton-fat jade, delicate and smooth.

The man couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone, swiping the screen with his fingers in a panic, and quickly clicked on the [Pure Beauty List] to search for his name.

When his eyes focused on the ranking on the list, his originally dull eyes instantly burst into a fanatical light.

He was ranked 999997!

"what!"

The man first let out a cry of disbelief, and then ecstasy overwhelmed him like a bursting dam.

“I’m on the list!”

He roared excitedly, his voice shrill and distorted due to excessive excitement.

“I’m on the list!”

At this moment, he was completely immersed in this sudden "joy", laughing wildly and crazily, with his facial muscles extremely distorted, as if being pulled by an invisible force.

That carefully "crafted" skin, under his exaggerated smile, seemed to be unable to bear the weight, and it actually showed layers of wrinkles of varying depths.

What kind of heaven-defying world is this?

Even the Fallen Immortal Boat didn’t play so extravagantly, right?

And that’s it for the [Beauty of Skin List] alone.

He couldn't even imagine how amazing the other guys who made it onto the list were!

Bai Ge looked at the Painted Skin calmly and asked, "This artificial leather of his won't last long, right?"

Painted Skin nodded.

"Yes. If he still had even a little bit of natural skin left on him, with this little girl's face, he might be able to stay on the list for another three or four days."

She paused, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and looked at Bai Ge.

"As for now? Why don't you take a guess as to how long this can last?"

Bai Ge had a blank expression on his face. He glanced at the man with cold eyes and said in a calm but firm tone, "At most half a day."

"That's right." Painted Skin chuckled and replied, "At most half a day."

A determined look appeared on her face, and she continued, "In half a day, I will have another skin here, even if it's just artificial."

She tilted her head slightly, a hint of amusement in her eyes: "But even so, there are still people who buy it. Do you know why?"

Bai Ge did not respond.

But Painted Skin didn't care and continued talking to himself.

"You see, there are always people in this world who are like sewer rats. Even if they are of humble status, ugly faces, and twisted hearts, they are extremely eager to experience the taste of living in the sun."

"After all, in their eyes, this second-hand faux leather is their shortcut to 'sunlight'."

As Painted Skin spoke, her originally thin figure seemed to be filled up little by little as if by an invisible filler.

"Perfect" World: Chapter 114: Are you also a cultist?

Bai Ge stood quietly in front of the stall for a while, his eyes wandering among the creepy human skin products on the stall.

Finally, under the surprised gaze of Painted Skin, he turned around and left empty-handed without stopping.

"Tsk!"

Painted Skin spat softly, his face full of helplessness and regret.

"I want these guys to help me with my sales, why is it so difficult?"

However, after a little thought, when she thought of Bai Ge's identity, the resentment in her heart quietly dissipated.

After all, the people of the Church of Balance have always been so out of place in this world.
