Chapter 196: The Death of the Ghost Painter and the Organization Behind Him

"Ghost Painter, didn't you just say I was dead?"

"Now let me hear you squeak."

Lu Yue moved back and forth among them, searching continuously.

This temple is not big, but it has everything it needs.
He was not worried that the ghost painter would run away this time. The last time in Kuhai Village, he was not caught because his true body had never appeared.

But this time, because the ghost painter trusted the leather-painted Buddha too much, his true identity was exposed. Now it is too late even if he wants to leave.

"I still like your previous rebellious attitude."

"Your silence is deafening."

As Lu Yue continued his in-depth inspection, he eliminated most of the buildings in the temple. He believed that it would not take a few minutes to find the final location of the ghost painter.

"Lu Yue, you are very strong. There is no need for us to fight to the death. Leave here today and pretend nothing happened. From now on, I will never come to you again."

"From now on, I will stay away from any place where you appear."

"The cook is dead after all. There is no need for us to become enemies over a dead person."

Deep in the temple, the ghost painter's voice had a hint of compromise.

Ha ha!

Sure enough... the saying "the truth is within the range of the cannon, and dignity is on the sword" is becoming more and more valuable. Now that Lu Yue holds the authentic truth in his hands, he has shattered the ghost painter's false truth, so that the other party is willing to sit down and talk.

"It is you who avenged the cook."

"It was you who sowed discord and caused the Gongshu clan to harm me."

"It was you who sent the painting of the evil star Li Hu to provoke me."

"Just now you summoned the Buddha to send me to the West."

Lu Yue listed the crimes of the ghost painter one by one.

"Now, you say you don't want to fight?"

"Unless you kneel down on the ground now, kowtow and beg for mercy, asking grandpa to spare your life, there is no room for negotiation." Lu Yue said this while his feet were not idle. He kept searching for the sound and determining the location, and eliminated several possible hiding places.

"Grandpa... spare my life." Soon after, the voice of the ghost painter came from deep in the temple.

Lu Yue, who was digging deep into the ground looking for someone, was stunned for a moment.

What the hell!
How can a person be so shameless and have no bottom line?
However, the more a person can put aside his or her face, the more twisted his or her heart is often.

This kind of enemy cannot be allowed to stay.

"You still need to kowtow."

"Dong dong dong..."

A smile appeared on Lu Yue's lips. He had already caught the source of the sound of the ghost painter's fingers tapping on the stone bricks. His eyes quickly locked onto a direction and he ran straight towards it.

After more than ten breaths.

With a loud "bang", Lu Yue kicked the door of a side hall and smashed it to pieces.

After the smoke and dust cleared, a young figure came into view.

The young man sat cross-legged, his face as pale as paper, and he exuded the aura of death.

He looked to be in his early twenties, an age when he was full of youth and vitality and was ready to make contributions to society. However, he looked more like a dead man than any extraordinary person in the vagina industry that Lu Yue had ever seen.

There was only a faint trace of life to prove that he was still alive.

Just as the Demon Suppression Bureau said, the ancestors of ghost painters never did anything to harm human beings. Using this ability to harm others would damage their good karma, so this evil profession is almost extinct.

Without the skin painting, the ghost painter is no longer a threat.

And considering his sick condition, I don't think he will live long.

Perhaps because of this, the other party never considers the consequences when doing things.

Looking the ghost painter up and down, Lu Yue noticed that all five fingers of his left hand were broken. This instantly reminded him of the ghost chef, who also had mutilated fingers.

"You have lost all five fingers on your left hand. It doesn't look like you were born with a disability. And the cook, as a cook, also lost a few fingers."

"It's impossible that he got cut off because of cheating."

"So there is an organization behind you?"

"To join this organization, you have to cut off your fingers?"

This is just like the Qinglong Gang, Tianyan Gang and the like.

All gang members have uniform tattoos to identify themselves.

Lu Yue was not in a hurry to take the other person's life at this moment. Instead, he wanted to figure out some things. Previously in Kuhai Village, this ghost painter looked mysterious. In the final analysis, it was because he did not feel the fatal danger.

The pressure is now directly on point. Human beings are complex animals. Sometimes, even if we know we are going to die, we still want to live for every second possible.

Lu Yue was sure that this fearful ghost painter would speak.

"You want to know what organization we are?"

The ghost painter looked up, an evil smile appearing on his lifeless face.

pop~
Lu Yue slapped him, knocking him over and causing him to spit out blood. He said coldly: "You are still trying to show off to me, right? You don't seem to understand the current situation."

The ghost painter recovered and dared not laugh anymore, but just took off his clothes quietly...

"I'm not asking you to expose your body..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yue's eyes suddenly narrowed and he stared at the ghost painter's body.

There was nothing special about the ghost painter's skinny body.

But there was a painting on the other person's chest.

Even Lu Yue was secretly surprised.

This ghost painter is not only cruel to others, but also ruthless to himself.

Isn’t he afraid that the creature in the painting will burst out of his stomach like the alien?

After careful observation, Lu Yue discovered that the scene in the painting was somewhat similar to the bedroom commonly seen in costume dramas. In the middle, a figure was lying on the bed on his side with his back to the crowd. His appearance could not be seen clearly through the layers of gauze curtains.

There were more than ten people kneeling under the bed.

Lu Yue didn't recognize most of them, but there were two familiar faces among them.

He is a ghost chef and ghost painter.

In addition, there is another detail: these people all have missing fingers.

Some people even lost all ten fingers, which was a horrible sight.

"Who is that guy on the bed?" Lu Yue asked.

"Shut up! You are not allowed to call the Empress like that!" The ghost painter was furious.

Lu Yue raised his hand and slapped him a few more times.

The ghost painter's mouth closed as if he had eaten a red-heart dragon fruit. It was not difficult to tell from his vicious expression that he was so loyal to the queen that he painted this picture on his own skin.

This so-called goddess is not fictional, but real. The ghost chef said at the beginning that he took the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart to save people.

Could it be this person?

This aroused Lu Yue's curiosity even more.

"You're anxious, do you like this lady?"

"I guess the cook also likes this lady. Even the people kneeling below like the lady you are talking about."

"I understand!"

"You are all male mistresses?!"

Lu Yue took a breath of cold air.

In modern terms, a mianshou refers to a male favorite or concubine.

"What does this person look like to make you guys so obsessed? You don't even draw the front face. The back view must be killer. The front view is actually very ugly..."

As he was talking, Lu Yue suddenly discovered that the painting on the skin was moving.

The figure who was originally lying on his side seemed to have heard Lu Yue's voice and actually raised his little hand and made a sweet promise. At this moment, Lu Yue actually felt a strong curiosity and wanted to know what would happen next.

So he stepped closer, ready to get on the bed in the painting.

Upon seeing this, the ghost painter wiped the "dragon fruit" from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with fierceness. He knew that the opportunity had come and no one could refuse the Queen's order.

As long as you get on the bed once, you will submit to the queen for the rest of your life.

"You are not worthy of being favored by the Queen." The ghost painter cursed incoherently, and took the opportunity to take out a handful of smelly ashes from his bag and scattered them at Lu Yue.

These are the raw materials he uses to make leather paintings, mixed with the ashes of more than a dozen evil spirits. If an ordinary extraordinary person touches them, he will be poisoned and rotted to death in an instant.

The next second, Lu Yue's whole body glowed with yellow light, and the ashes burned immediately upon touching them.

The ghost painter was completely dumbfounded!!!

At this time, Lu Yue, who was shining with jade light, finally stopped.

Looking at the leather painting again, it is just a still picture.

"It's too ugly. I don't want to watch it."

Lu Yue remained calm on the surface, but there was a turbulent storm in his heart.

Just now, his mind was affected in a trance. Although he retained all his consciousness, he suddenly had an extra thought. What was even more terrifying was that his body had not reacted at all, as if it was unaware of the potential danger.

This is not comparable to the low-level influence of the seven deadly sins lust being aroused.

It's more like tampering with other people's souls.

Not implantation but transformation.

Some values, personality, emotions, beliefs, etc. deep in the soul.

Change a person's mind silently.

It's just a finger-hook, but it would be better to have a deeper communication.

Thinking hard!
If it weren't for the handful of ashes from the ghost painter that triggered the protection of the jade body, Lu Yue couldn't imagine what would happen next.

The oppressive feeling brought by this leather painting is far less than that of the fake Buddha. Just as a dog that doesn't bark is more dangerous, this weird method is even worse.

Moreover, Lu Yue always felt that the real body of the empress, who was nowhere to be found in the real world, could peek at the scene even through the skin of the ghost painter.

Fortunately, I was prepared this time, and it can be regarded as an update of the database for my body. If I encounter it again in the future, there is no need to react, just trigger it immediately.

At present, the jade body is not perfect and cannot be truly invulnerable to evil, which is why some methods are not intercepted in the first place.

In order to avoid any further complications, Lu Yue decided to take direct action.

"Counselor Lu, wait a moment."

Just then, a familiar voice came from a distance. It was Examiner Zhong.

"Advisor Lu, this ghost painter cannot be killed for the time being."

"why?"

"It's like this. Although this ghost painter has committed many evil deeds, according to the case handling procedures of the Taicheng Town Demon Division, we need to investigate the suspect first, and punish him after finding out other crimes."

"Moreover, non-official personnel have no right to execute other extraordinary people privately. Please understand that this is my duty." Examiner Zhong's face was as stern as ice.

Lu Yue glanced at Examiner Zhong, and after a moment's silence, he smiled and said, "Of course, I have always supported the work of the Demon Suppression Division. I will leave this person to you, Examiner Zhong."

Examiner Zhong nodded slightly.

"By the way, Examiner Zhong, last time in the inpatient department, I accidentally broke your brother's pen fairy evil instrument. Could you please make an appointment for me? I'll treat you to a meal to apologize."

"Okay, no problem." Examiner Zhong replied.

"Thank you. One more thing... Examiner Zhong, have you ever heard of the four fastest things?" Lu Yue suddenly asked, "Which is faster, a machine gun, a mortar, an old man doing business, or sending a telegram?"

Examiner Zhong, who was about to escort the ghost painter, frowned slightly.

puff!
A ray of bronze light tore through the air, and Examiner Zhong was cut in two. No blood was splattered, and only a piece of skin fell to the ground.

"Of course the fastest one is my bronze axe."

"How is it possible? How did you see through it?!!!"

The ghost painter was screaming hysterically, his face twisted and distorted with anger, his hands clenched into fists, and his five fingernails were deeply embedded in the flesh of his palms.

This was his last resort. Ever since he met Captain Zhong and his two companions in Kuhai Village, he had memorized their appearances for the purpose of having this backup plan.

There was nothing wrong with Captain Zhong's behavior, and everything he did was in compliance with the rules. The reason he was able to get away with it for so long was because he was familiar with every rule and regulation of the Demon Suppression Bureau and was able to find loopholes in them.

Lu Yue looked at the ghost painter and without any nonsense, he picked up the axe and started chopping.

The ghost painter had no time to dodge and screamed.

Because he had used up all his trump cards and had a blood defect, he was not a combat-type extraordinary being and had no ability to fight back. In the end, he could only use his hands and feet to escape.

Lu Yue followed closely behind with murderous intent, watching the other party crawling on the ground.

"Don't you like pretending?"

"Don't you like hiding in the dark and controlling everything?"

"You like to pretend to be an official so much, let me show you a real official."

"Remember, one is called Xie Bian and the other is called Fan Wujiu."

"When you get to the King of Hell, tell him that the man who killed you is called Lu Yue."

Lu Yue was filled with murderous intent and locked onto the ghost painter. The ghost painter had nowhere to hide and shouted in fear before dying: "My queen, save me! My queen, save me!!!"

boom!
As the axe fell, blood and flesh flew all over the ghost painter's body.

[Source Energy +1]

This ghost painter, like the extraordinary people chosen by the ruins in the past, can provide a wisp of source energy. Although it is not much, every bit counts.

Lu Yue still doesn’t understand why ghosts all have source energy, but for extraordinary people, some have source energy and some don’t.
