It's time to become an evil god.

Stepping over the threshold into the Human Skin Inn, one finds a bustling scene of carved dragons and painted phoenixes, vermilion lacquer decorations, singing and dancing, and people coming and going. However, after Bai Ge's spiritual vision was enhanced by the fragmented umbilical cord of the ancient god, the once magnificent inn appeared eerily sinister to him. Several lanterns emitting a bluish glow hung in the hall, and the room was filled with old coffins and wreaths. The so-called customers eating and drinking were actually paper figures and skeletons, and there were even a few old coffin boards among them.

The landscape paintings on the wall were all made of dried human skin that had been peeled off, fluttering in the cold wind.

On the surface, Xi Zeliang remained calm, but he was secretly observing his surroundings. The interior of the Human Skin Inn was more complicated than he had imagined, with numerous twists and turns and buildings that seemed to be expanding.

Bai Ge, however, acted as if nothing had happened, chatting casually with the suspicious-looking guy who didn't seem alive.

"Friend, I see your inn is doing quite well. Have you considered opening a Mixue Ice Cream and Wallace next door?"

Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream, are you concocting a super laxative?

Ryo Nishizawa even heard the butler, who was leading the way with a lantern, begin to breathe rapidly.

Bai Ge persisted, "By the way, does your inn, located deep in the mountains, have a business license? If not, it's operating illegally. Hurry up and give us some red envelopes, or we'll report you to the market supervision bureau!"

Hey, this is getting more and more outrageous! Why are you even asking ghosts for money and favors?

"It's fine if you don't give me a red envelope, but don't you have that kind of 'Dabao Health' service? I remember hotels have it."

Xi Zeliang glanced around and noticed that the butler who had led the way had quietly clenched his fist at some point.

Suddenly, the other person stopped and turned around to look at Xi Zeliang, who was standing silently behind Bai Ge, with a grin. He slowly narrowed his eyes and asked, "This guest, you've been observing your surroundings very cautiously ever since you came in. Is there something you're planning?"

The butler emphasized each word as he pronounced the phrase "attempt".

"I……"

Just as Xi Zeliang was about to explain, Bai Ge interrupted him, "Butler, don't take it too seriously. He's just a country bumpkin who just became a spirit from deep in the mountains. He's never seen the world, so it's understandable that he's a little nervous."

"Oh?"

The butler looked Xize Liang up and down, but couldn't find any flaws after a long time. He then turned to look at Bai Ge next to him.

"And what about this guest?"

The butler's expression gradually darkened, and he asked, word by word, "I'm curious, since you clearly saw through everything, why aren't you nervous or afraid at all?"

A chilling wind blew around them, causing the lantern in the steward's hand to flicker and sway precariously.

Bai Ge calmly replied, "Because I'm a worldly-wise Isatis root."

Chapter Fifty-Two: The Human Skin Demon Feast

"After all that fuss, it turns out they were just two magical Banlangen granules. What a narrow-minded view."

The butler scoffed, pointing at two small children in bibs, their bodies a bluish-purple, and said mockingly, "Look at them! One is a thousand-year-old ghost ginseng that has absorbed the blood of the dead and become a spirit, and the other is a spirit of Yin Lingzhi. That's what you call becoming a spirit. The tonics and medicinal herbs they contribute are truly rare and exquisite. Speaking of which, today is my master's wedding banquet. If you two bring a wedding gift, I can arrange a seat for you..."

"Xiao Liang."

Bai Ge suddenly turned his head and stared earnestly at the ginseng child standing by the well urinating into it. He said in a serious tone, "If ginseng becomes a spirit, which part is the most nourishing and essential part?"

After hearing this, Xi Zeliang wanted to roll his eyes. How would I know if a ginseng that has become a spirit is nourishing or not?

"kid."

Bai Ge gave a "friendly" smile, took out two lollipops, and waved them at the Ghost Ginseng and Yin Lingzhi, "Come here, Uncle will show you something nice."

The two harmless and innocent ginseng spirits, completely unaware of the harsh realities of the world, skipped over and took the lollipops from Bai Ge's hand. Bai Ge patted them on the shoulders and said cheerfully, "Come to Uncle's room, there are even more amazing ones."

Bai Ge pulled the Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng into the storage room next door. A few minutes later, Bai Ge came out carrying two blood-soaked roots and handed them to the dumbfounded butler while they were still hot. He said with a smile, "Here, butler, please take this. Don't drop it. This is a gift from my brother and me."

The butler, his hands trembling, took the root and asked in surprise, "This, this is?"

Bai Ge gave a cryptic smile, blinked, and said, "Their innate wisdom."

"hiss."

At that moment, the butler felt a chill in his lower body.

"Then we'll trouble the housekeeper to arrange a good spot for us."

The housekeeper realized that these two cunning Banlangen were no pushovers, so he quickly nodded and made an excuse to leave.

After the housekeeper left, Bai Ge pulled Xize Liang aside and whispered, "I saw the kitchen just now."

"Then?"

Unlike the cautious Xi Zeliang, Bai Ge was eager to seize every opportunity to cause trouble as soon as she entered the house.

"If today were the hostel owner's wedding banquet, the kitchen would be our easiest place to steal from."

Although Nishizawa Ryo didn't know what Bai Ge was planning to do, he had a bad feeling.

The kitchen door was ajar, and there was no ghost inside.

Bai Ge and Xi Zeliang quietly slipped inside. As soon as they pushed open the door, a strong smell of blood hit them.

The scene inside made the two instinctively widen their eyes. Hanging from the ceiling were swaying corpses, some with flesh cut away, leaving only white bones. The victims' clothes were discarded to one side.

"Judging from their clothes, they should be the hikers who went missing in the nearby mountains earlier."

The boiling broth in the large pot was bubbling continuously. Bai Ge grabbed a ladle and stirred it. Soft and mushy fingers and eyeballs floated to the surface, along with a rotten human head.

"vomit."

This scene made him uncomfortable. Xi Zeliang covered his mouth, clenched his fists, and said through gritted teeth, "These devils!"

The Special Affairs Bureau represents order and justice, and the passionate Nishizawa Ryo naturally wouldn't let these demons and monsters get away with it. He turned around and said seriously, "The system requires us to stay at the Human Skin Inn and survive until dawn, not to directly confront the demons. As members of the Special Affairs Bureau, the witch and I have an obligation to resolve this trouble. You can choose to find a place to hide until the mission ends..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Bai Ge rolled her eyes at Xize Liang and said matter-of-factly, "Do I look like the kind of guy who would just stand by and watch his teammates go to their deaths?"

Xi Zeliang felt a surge of warmth in his heart and said, moved, "Brother Bai..."

Bai Ge stretched out his hand and said seriously, "But you'll have to pay extra."

"..."

Inside the human skin inn's barrier, where there was no signal, Nishizawa Ryo roughly described what had happened using the newly added function of the electronic emergency call device. Unexpectedly, everyone unanimously agreed with his decision, which strengthened Nishizawa Ryo's resolve to eradicate this treacherous den of demons and monsters.

"Since it's the wedding day, a day of great joy and celebration."

Bai Ge took out a box of strange-smelling stuff from his inventory, pointed to the bubbling soup in the pot, and said, "Wouldn't it be okay to add some base ingredients to them?"

Nishizawa Ryo had a bad feeling. His eyelids twitched, and he asked, "What the hell is this?"

Bai Ge revealed a mysterious smile, "I modified expired Wallace using Lao Ba's secret recipe."

Nishizawa Ryo was stunned for a moment, and for that instant he seemed to see a terrifying wedding banquet hall with a foul smell.

At this moment, he made up his mind to win this guy a regular position in the Special Affairs Bureau and absolutely not let him join an enemy organization!

A series of rustling footsteps sounded outside the door. Bai Ge and Xize Liang's expressions changed, and they quickly hid under the stove. A man wearing a cloak to conceal his face slipped into the kitchen, took a bottle from his pocket, and stealthily poured its contents into each of the wine jars in the corner. After making sure no one was following them, he quietly left.

After the other person left, Nishizawa Ryo asked in a low voice, "Who was that person?"

Bai Ge shook his head, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. "I don't know who this sneaky guy is, but if what he put in is the same thing I put in, remember to wear a gas mask. The banquet hall tonight might be twice as crowded."

……

Outside the Human Skin Inn, a bustling noise filled the air as numerous ghosts and monsters arrived, heading to a banquet.

All sorts of demons and monsters gathered in the hall, forming more than a dozen small circles around the coffin table, exchanging pleasantries.

There was a stunningly beautiful woman, eight feet tall, dressed in a ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), holding a water pipe.

It's a water monkey that's neither human nor human, covered in wet hair.

Peel off the entire face to meticulously paint the painted skin.

There are also paper shadow puppets with stiff movements.

The hall was filled with all sorts of demons and monsters, making Xize Liang's heart pound and his palms sweat. He didn't know if the six of them would survive if a conflict broke out.

Bai Ge secretly nudged Xize Liang's arm and whispered, "Which table are you sitting at? I'll sit at the widow's table."

???

"The real owner of the Human Skin Inn hasn't shown up yet, so it's best to keep a low profile."

After saying that, Bai Ge walked towards the heavily made-up widow. This action made Xi Zeliang want to complain in his heart, "Didn't we agree to keep a low profile?"

As soon as they sat down at the table, Bai Ge grabbed the female ghost next to him and teased, "Madam, you are so beautiful, unlike those seductive and vile women outside."

"Oh."

A clear purplish-blue ligature mark remained on the widow's neck. She covered her cherry-like mouth with her hand and asked with a smile, "What's different? Please tell me in detail, young master?"

Bai Ge said in a serious tone, "You're not glamorous at all, you're just cheap."

boom!

The smile vanished from the hanged widow's face. She abruptly stood up, turned away with a displeased expression, and hurried off. Bai Ge then looked at another female ghost beside him. Before he could even speak, the female ghost simply said "Excuse me, farewell" and got up to leave.

"..."

Ding dong.

The clock struck twelve, and Bai Ge's heart sank.

really.

In the task inventory, apart from the three selected items, all other items instantly turned gray and became unusable.

A gust of cold wind blew in, causing the candlelight in the bustling hall to flicker and the shadows of the demons reflected on the wall to become distorted and deformed.

Step, step, step.

Light, hurried footsteps drew closer, and several figures carrying a red sedan chair emerged from the shadowy trees in the distance. At that very moment, a loud shout rang out from outside the door.

"The bride is here!"
