Chapter 53 Breaking up


    Xu Huo hid in the pig house for four hours before the darkness outside receded. He hid the pig skin and went to see the piglets first, and then walked around to the rooms of several players.


    Tang Pei and the others sat in silence in the darkness, and the air filled with the smell of blood was filled with deathly silence.


    “Who died?” he asked.


    "See for yourself." Qin An rubbed his face with both hands and bent down to look at the ground.


    ? Xu Huo opened the door. The candle on the operating table had not been extinguished yet. The first thing he saw was Peng Fengnian staring blankly on the wall. Then he discovered... the person hanging in the center of the workshop.


    ?That can no longer be called a human being.


    He was hung at the back of his neck, but his chest was still rising and falling weakly.


    ?In front of him, a complete human skin was hanging in the air, with all the edges pierced by fish hooks. It was stretched and spread flat like a painting. It was so thin that it could even pass through candlelight...


    ?The person who was skinned was Zou Weichang. Although he had not yet died, at this level, death would be a matter of time.


    After looking around for a week and finding no sign of the skinner, Xu Huo was about to move Peng Fengnian down. Unexpectedly, the eyes of the "corpse" suddenly moved, and he angrily jumped down from the wall with blue and black blood vessels on his face, waving his fists. Hit him in the face!


    ??Xu Huo avoided his fist, grabbed his arm while turning sideways, and said in a low voice: "Where is the skinner?"


    Peng Fengnian was breathing heavily, his eyes filled with anger and hatred mixed with fear, and he opened his mouth, not knowing whether he was speechless or afraid to speak.


    Xu Huo saw that he was in a bad state and immediately pulled him into the player''s room.


    As soon as the door was closed, Peng Fengnian attacked him like crazy. Even Qin An and others suffered a disaster. Yang Can and Xian Dazhi worked together to hold him down. The former said with a frightened face: "It can''t be a skinner." Did you inject him with some crazy virus?"


    ??Tang Pei gritted his teeth and stepped forward and slapped Peng Fengnian in the face, "Please wake up before I die. Do you want others to be like Zou Weichang?"


    Peng Fengnian''s eyes were red and he could no longer listen to what others were saying. He stared at Xu Huo with a look of collapse on his face.


    “You were pretending to be dead on the wall, and you happened to see the skinner skinning Zou Weichang alive.” Xu Huo looked at him.


    Qin An and others were stunned. There was not much movement in the workshop, but it was enough to attract their attention. After discovering that Zou Weichang was missing, Qin An immediately used fluoroscopy to check the situation in the workshop. At that time, Zou Weichang''s scalp had been torn off. .


    Qin An couldn''t describe the impact at that time, but after just one glance, he lost his temper and didn''t dare to look at it a second time.


    “…Alive…He was skinned alive…” Peng Fengnian’s voice was hoarse and trembling: “He was still alive after it was over…”


    From the moment Zou Weichang was hung up, the skinner in his eyes was no longer a character in the game introduction, but a real murderer who could skin a person alive with a smile and operate for several hours. He couldn''t even shake, and because he used the potion to pretend to be dead, he couldn''t even close his eyes and could only watch from beginning to end!


    "Why did you give us false news?" Peng Fengnian stared at Xu Huo, "Zou Weichang sneaked out to get the animal skins. It was because of you that he died so miserably!"


    The four people in Qin An looked at Xu Huo with different expressions. Qin An said: "What do you mean? The key to passing the customs is not the skin?"


    "No!" Peng Fengnian breathed out fiercely, "Zou Weichang failed and was blocked by the skinner."


    “What do you want to do? What good does killing other players do to you?”


    Xu Huo glanced at the five people who were on guard and ready to take action. There was no expression on the shadow-covered faces, but his voice was cold. "Do you think clearly, Zou Weichang died because of me?" "I told you clearly that skin removal is done during the day. It’s safer than at night, and the agreed time is tomorrow morning, why would Zou Weichang go get it privately?”


    "Even if Zou Weichang has selfish motives, you are the first to give false information." Qin An held a long whip in his hand, "If you don''t tell me one, two, or three today, you can''t even think of leaving!"


    “I’ve told you how to open the secret room. I’ve figured out the key to clearing the level. I’ve also reminded you to act during the day.”


    "You are all players. I have told you everything I need to tell you. Do you still want to blame me for not cooling you down even after I put the food in your mouth?"


    “You burn your mouth and then hit it with a rake...” Xu Huo chuckled softly: “I really doubt how you got to level D.”


    Qin An and others had uncertain expressions. Xian Dazhi hesitated and said, "You really can''t blame anyone else for this. We are all here for the first time, and he was just guessing. Even if we are wrong, we can''t blame him."


    Peng Fengnian understood that what Xu Huo said was reasonable. Zou Weichang was indeed at fault in this matter, but the price was too tragic!


    “I want to know one thing. Do you know that the copy will change at night?” he asked.


    "I don''t know." Xu Huo looked magnanimous, "You didn''t take the news that the skinner''s knife cannot be used during the day seriously."


    “If you look carefully, you will find that the skinner actually has a dual personality. During the day, he is the grumpy factory owner Red-Nosed Carl, and at night, he is the crazy skinner.”


    "His office is clean and tidy, and the stationery and bookcases are neatly displayed. His research ranges from anatomy to philosophy, which is in line with the ''delicate heart'' mentioned in the game. However, he is unkempt, drunk and lustful, and his bedroom has not been cleaned for a long time. Isn''t this very contradictory? "


    “If the personality holding the skinning knife is the skinner, then it will be obvious who the red-nosed Carl is who appears at night.”


    “You are kidding yourself with your own lives by sneaking out at night after receiving important news.”


    Peng Fengnian was vaguely aware of the huge contrast in the skinner''s personality, but before he could think about it, he was stimulated by a skinning alive and went crazy.


    ?Looking at the man standing at the door still playing with the lighter, he was not unconvinced, but he couldn''t ignore Xu Huo''s indifference when he saw the corpse, as if human life was not worth mentioning in his eyes.


    “Our cooperation has ended.”


    Xu Huo returned the paper phone to him and left the room.


    "Is that it?" Yang Can looked at his back and whispered: "Actually, I think he was not wrong. He didn''t know that Zou Weichang would act behind other people''s backs, and just now... we didn''t dare to go out to save people. "


    To say something unpleasant is to express anger.


    Peng Fengnian covered his eyes and took a deep breath before saying, "Rest first, and we will go to the secret room to look for it when the skinner goes out at dawn."


    No matter what they thought, Xu Huo returned to the pig house after leaving and pulled out the red hair that had been pulling at the sutures on his abdomen:


    “I’ll let you out if you promise to obey.”
