Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 295 The Truth
The dozens of human skins floated in mid-air, swaying from side to side whenever the wind blew.

—At first glance, it looks just like a dance.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, one can discover that these things are not even a single piece of human skin—legs, back, chest, arms, and face skin. Every part is covered with dense stitches, clearly indicating that each piece of skin was made from the most 'essential' parts, pieced together from dozens of lives!
The Prefect Song outside the door was still smiling, but now, looking at the scene inside the house, coupled with his angular, upright face, he seemed particularly strange.

"So, gentlemen, what do you think of my collection that fills this room?"

Zhou You did not answer, but Tao Le'an turned her head and her eyes became very cold.

"My lord... no, Prefect Song, are you the one who committed all these high-profile rape and murder cases?"

"Rape and murder? No, no, no, what are you talking about?" The Prefect Song smiled even more brightly. "What rape and murder? I would never do such a despicable thing. I just preserved the most beautiful aspects of these women."

Before Tao Le'an could reply, the man raised his head and gazed up at the human skins with a mesmerizing look.

"Women are wonderful things. They are beautiful and have a light and supple body, unlike men who are all stiff. The only pity is that they age too easily. One moment they are a young and beautiful woman, and the next they are an old woman with a face full of wrinkles. It is really sad and lamentable."

"So, I came up with this idea: since women are so easily lost, why don't I take the most beautiful part of their bodies, sew them back together, and preserve them? See?"

No one knows what method the Prefect Song used, but with just a gentle shake of his hand, one of the human skins turned around, revealing a beautiful, smiling face.

"Take this for example. Her hands were taken from that famous, beautiful widow in Nanyang City, while her legs were taken from a noblewoman's daughter—I still remember her cries when she was skinned alive—oh right, and this too."

He proudly described the materials used in the human skin, and only after he finished speaking did he smile at Tao Le'an.

"Hey, my friend from the Exorcism Bureau, what do you think of this collection?"

Upon hearing this, Tao Le'an's eyes grew even colder.

"—You recognized me a long time ago?"

The Prefect Song's smile was quite comical.

"Actually, it wasn't me who recognized you. Your feint was really clever. Even I thought you were heading towards the Prince's location. But unfortunately, the sect sent over a prisoner from your Zhenxie Division a while ago. I thought she was pretty, so I used her as material to sew up the body. And it was she who recognized you—come, come, young lady, greet your commander."

A human skin turned around, revealing a face that was wailing silently.

Tao Le'an's face instantly turned ashen, but he did not rush forward recklessly. Instead, he silently drew a talisman with his hand behind his back.

But then he was taken aback.

The talismanic arts that were once so easy to master, even instinctive, were now incredibly obscure. When his fingertips brushed against the talisman, the spiritual light only gathered for a moment before instantly dissipating.

Moreover, not only that, but the body also felt as if it were stuck in a quagmire, and even the slightest movement required a great deal of effort.

Seeing this, Prefect Song's smile grew even brighter, to the point of being somewhat distorted.

"Hey, you little devil from the Exorcism Division, do you think I'd lured you here unprepared? Give me a break. Right now, you have absolutely no chance to make a move under this human skin, let alone..."

Prefect Song beckoned, and dozens of members of the Hou Tu Sect emerged from the bamboo forest. Each of them carried a powerful crossbow, and it seemed that as soon as the order was given, the two men would be riddled with arrows.

But Prefect Song did not rush to issue the order. Instead, he wore a strange smile, like a cat that had caught a mouse, trying to see some fear and despair in the two men.

Unfortunately, there was nothing inside.

Tao Le'an's face was gloomy, but he didn't seem to be gripped by any fear of impending doom. As for Zhou You...
He, who had remained silent throughout, finally spoke at this moment.

But for some reason, that sound felt...
Is it slightly distorted?

"My lord, I remember the common people say that you have a blood feud with the Thick Earth Sect, but how come you're now colluding with them? Aren't you afraid your wife will die with her eyes wide open in disbelief?"

Prefect Song was somewhat puzzled by this reaction, but he still grinned. "Of course I'm not afraid, because my deceased wife was someone I personally gave to the sect—someone whose youth was fading, someone who would soon become an old woman, using her as a pledge of allegiance to exchange for the position of Celestial Master. Isn't that worth it?"

Zhou You sighed softly.

"Then I think I understand. On the surface, you pretend to have an irreconcilable hatred for the Houtu Sect, but in private you are colluding with them, using your identity to recruit heroes and good men who have a grudge against the Houtu Sect, and then find an opportunity to kill them all. But what good does that do you?"

Prefect Song looked up at the human skins floating around inside the room.

"Okay, I get it. That's why I hate you R18 enthusiasts who have the ability to act on it. You'll do anything for your fetishes."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Prefect Song muttered, but then realized something was wrong.

"Wait, aren't you scared?"

Zhou You and Tao Le'an exchanged a glance, and finally their faces relaxed.

After laughing for a while, Zhou You finally spoke to Prefect Song.

"Hey buddy, learn your lesson next time. If you're going to kill someone, go for the morbid; if you're going to do something morbid, go for it. But don't fool yourself by displaying it like that—the armrests of your chair look like they're wrapped in sheepskin, but they're actually..."

Zhou You pointed to his nose.

"The stench of that man's corpse had seeped into your bones—it's a wonder you could stand it."

Prefect Song froze, finally realizing something, and then roared angrily.

"Shoot me!"

"My lord, firing arrows now might damage your collection."

"Fire arrows!"

Left with no other option, the people of the Thick Earth Cult had to activate the mechanism.

Arrows shot out like thunder—now that their movements are restricted, unless Zhou You and his companion possess the legendary indestructible divine skill, they will surely be turned into hedgehogs.

However, the two men simply stared at Prefect Song, their expressions growing increasingly sarcastic.

In an instant, a crossbow bolt pierced his body, but instead of flesh and blood, it pulled out a large piece of chicken.

Then came the second one, and the third one.
But after each one passed through, it only shot out one dish—the very same dish that had just been eaten at the banquet.

The mocking expressions of Zhou You and Tao Le'an gradually crumbled, leaving behind only a mess.

Besides that, there were only two sets of clothes and two paper talismans floating in mid-air.

Then, as the two paper figures suddenly shattered, flames burst forth, and the entire room began to burn fiercely!

Watching his hard work gradually turn to ashes, Prefect Song seemed to be still in a daze, standing there blankly.

The silence was broken only when his advisor came running over, stumbling and crawling.

"My lord, my lord, an urgent report just came from the city gate. Those two people didn't attend the banquet at all. Instead, they used your name to trick their way through the city gate at noon and escaped. Those two were just imposters. My lord, my lord?"

Prefect Song took a deep breath, and finally a roar that sounded inhuman came out.

"You two sons of bitches, I will never forgive you!!!"
