A dating guide turned into being surrounded by female ghosts?

Chapter 33 What's Under the Skin

Lin Yue stared wide-eyed, taking a deep breath and waiting for Qin Ziwang to turn around.

Despite the mole caregiver's warning not to be frightened.

But when he finally saw the child's face clearly, he couldn't help but secretly gasp.

"hiss--"

He was squatting in the corner of the room, his spine bent into a hook shape, his skin yellowish and dull like a wax film, with faint bluish-purple veins visible underneath.

The two eyes are different. The left eye is disproportionately large, exposing the entire eyeball. There is no iris in the pupil, making it look like a hard-boiled egg. The right eye is surprisingly small, with the pupil in the eyelid squeezed into the shape of a shriveled raisin.

The entire lower half of his face was torn open to the sides, revealing two rows of uneven teeth, some growing horizontally and others growing backward toward his throat.

Teeth like these.

The idiom "interlocking like dog teeth" involuntarily came to Lin Yue's mind.

It made the hearts of those who watched slow down and feel a chill.

No wonder the caregiver with the mole called the child a "freak".

With such an appearance, if shown at night, it would probably scare a child to tears.

Even though he had seen several terrifying demons and had some experience, he still felt a chill when he saw Qin Ziwang's terrifying appearance.

"Qin Ziwang? I'm here to bring you food."

Lin Yue handed over the lunchbox.

Qin Ziwang didn't take it, but instead stared intently into Lin Yue's eyes with his only remaining eye.

Because it was so deformed and frightening.

Lin Yue had no way of knowing Qin Ziwang's age; she could only guess from his physique that he was probably around thirteen or fourteen years old.

Children of this age are in the turbulent period of adolescence.

But Qin Ziwang gave him the feeling of a cold, venomous snake, and this small room was his snake's nest.

He was being stared at by those deformed eyes.

Lin Yue's senses seemed to be distorted; everything around her was shaking, and an unknown entity was whispering in the depths of the shadows.

This feeling is almost 90% similar to facing a demon.

His willpower of 1.5 will not be affected much, but there will still be some special effects, like a light tickling of his brain.

"Did this child do it?"

This kid actually has... superpowers?

Lin Yue not only understood the child's strangeness more and more, but also sensed some strange emotions in his eyes, a mixture of fear and anger.

When talking about her mother, Qin Ziwang starts to act like this.

What exactly happened to him?

Perhaps these are the key points of this mission.

Lin Yue carefully observed the child's specific characteristics, such as breathing, heartbeat, and shadow...

Yes, it's a living person, not a ghost.

Since he was unwilling to answer voluntarily, I could only resort to some special methods.

I'm meek and submissive when facing evil spirits, but can't I strike back hard when facing living people?

Qin Ziwang's deformed eyes seemed to be nailed to Lin Yue's body.

Based on past experience, no matter how fierce a person is, they will shrink back and run away in fear when he looks at them like that.

The guy in front of me is about the same.

His face was slightly pale, and his pupils were dilated.

However, just when Qin Ziwang thought that this unfamiliar man was going to run away like the others,

The man suddenly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes, squatted down, and pressed his large, bony hands against his head, coldly saying, "Stop your little tricks if you don't want me to snap your neck."

The boy was stunned.

This person actually revealed his secret.

This is the first time.

He raised his head in a daze.

The stranger's eyes were filled with malice and cruelty.

I felt the force coming from the top of my head.

The child was instantly reminded of some unpleasant memory.

The anger gradually subsided in his mind, and fear quickly took hold of his frontal lobe.

Perhaps the boy's emotions were too volatile.

The terrifying aura, reminiscent of a demon, vanished instantly.

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

He's just a child; you can easily fool him.

Although I felt really bad for them, I had no choice but to do this in order to complete the task and get the information.

He maintained his "madman" persona, pressing his hand against the deformed head, and coldly continued, "You've seen a ghost?"

The boy's body trembled violently.

This is the second secret.

Who exactly is this man?

Lin Yue's few words stirred up a huge storm in Qin Ziwang's heart.

Lin Yue also sensed the boy's answer from his body's instinctive reaction.

"This child really is connected to ghosts," Lin Yue thought to herself.

In that case, this child must be the second person I've ever met, besides myself, who can see ghosts.

"Did that ghost give you your abilities?" Lin Yue continued to ask.

Qin Ziwang began to feel extremely uneasy.

The deformed body writhed in Lin Yue's hands, seemingly trying to break free.

Lin Yue grabbed his neck and whispered a warning in Qin Ziwang's ear.

"Don't test my patience."

The voice was devoid of warmth, as if the person holding the hand was merely a chick.

Lin Yue captured the character's perverted, cruel, cold-blooded, and inhuman nature with remarkable precision.

Qin Ziwang indeed dared not move.

Lin Yue didn't get the answer to the previous question, but she didn't press the issue too hard.

Anyway, that ability wasn't given by a ghost, but it's also closely related to ghosts.

What he really wanted to ask was...

Lin Yue asked, "What does that ghost have to do with your parents?"

This statement came out.

Qin Ziwang's deformed eyes suddenly appeared larger.

His whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if he had encountered immense fear.

That cold and eerie atmosphere returned to the room once again.

Lin Yue heard that inexplicable, incoherent babbling again.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

The sound was like the gurgling of air rushing through a torn throat.

The surrounding darkness began to gradually intensify.

It completely submerged Lin Yue's crouching body.

"Are you still going to use such meaningless little tricks?" Lin Yue frowned.

But Qin Ziwang's condition seemed very strange.

In his deformed eye sockets, his pupils rolled upwards wildly, and his whole body convulsed like an epileptic patient.

That already ugly face now looked completely inhuman.

Qin Ziwang seemed to be in immense pain, groaning "ho ho—" as he convulsed.

He unconsciously opened his lips, revealing the bright red inner walls of his mouth.

Lin Yue's eyes sharpened instantly.

Inside the mouth, the tongue had long been cut off at some point, with only a pitiful little bit of the root of the tongue remaining deep inside.

Was the child's tongue cut out?

No wonder I hadn't said anything.

"Qin Ziwang, calm down, stop using your abilities. This thing is useless against me." Lin Yue continued, "Who cut off your tongue? If you tell me, perhaps I can help you."

However, his good intentions went unrewarded.

Qin Ziwang's condition is getting worse and worse.

He was convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

Finally, beneath the twitching skin, an exaggerated mark suddenly appeared.

Lin Yue happened to catch this scene, and his pupils contracted.

He quickly removed his hand from Qin Ziwang's head and took several steps back.

Holy crap! What was that just now?

There's something under this child's skin!
