Painted Skin Girlfriend’s Daily Strategy # 5

—————Chapter 5 Under the skin, her true face—————

"...Although it is difficult for me to intuitively understand this feeling as a human who will not live to be a hundred years old, I can still imagine it to a certain extent. It is normal to forget because I have lived too long, but I don't understand... Why do you think you sealed that memory?" Lu Sheng was still a little confused.

“……”

Su Liying was clinging to his side at this time, holding his arms with both hands and leaning her head on his shoulder. She looked like she needed a sense of security. She didn't say anything after hearing this, but just hugged him harder. The proud big breasts almost buried half of his arms in them.

After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke.

"Lu Sheng, what kind of person do you think would desire to turn a beautiful woman into a piece of human skin to wear on his body, or even indulge in the process of taking other people's beauty as his own? Who would want to make others happy? In a beautiful life, even if you have a pretty face that doesn’t belong to you, you can still smile like a flower?"

"The longer I live, the more I realize that my hobbies and instinctive desires are so scary, even crazy and weird in the eyes of ordinary people, but I enjoy it quite a lot, even though I don't I don’t think there is anything wrong, but I can’t help but wonder, since I have such an inhuman essence, what will my true form be like?”

"I used to be an ugly female monster. I was disgusted and resentful in every way, so I practiced the magic of playing with human skin. I put on the beautiful skin snatched from others and covered up my ugly self. Under the false appearance, he got out of control and turned into a "painted-skinned" monster who took pleasure in playing with fur. In order to cover up his past, he took the initiative to seal the past memories and even deceived himself. "

She lowered her eyes and spoke as calmly as possible, but her voice couldn't help but tremble, as if the suspicion made her so panic--there were few enemies in this world who could make her feel fear from the bottom of her heart. Except for herself.

"Or maybe... I might not even be a woman, but a man who likes to dress in women's clothing, but I feel ashamed of myself because of my ugly appearance. Until one day, I finally found a way to perfectly transform into a woman. A way to transform myself into a woman by wearing it. She can turn into a beautiful woman by peeling off her refined skin. However, the more enchanting and beautiful she sees herself in the mirror, the more she hates her real self, so she seals her own memory in an attempt to deceive herself and become the real self. of stunning beauty.”

"What's more... maybe I don't even have a human form, but a ball of flesh and blood that contains spirit and becomes a demon, an alien insect demon that cannot be transformed..."

The further she went on, the greater her reaction became. Su Liying, who could still speak calmly and even joke with him just now, lost all her strength at this moment.

Is this a deliberate disguise on her part?

Lu Sheng didn't think so.

At least in front of him, she probably didn't like this. Even if it was really acting, he recognized it.

When she clearly shows that she needs comfort, whether it is true or false, what he should do as a boyfriend will not change.

"I have lived for a long time and have thought about many possibilities, some of which I even don't want to think about myself. But the more this happens, the more scared I am and the less I dare to face it."

Su Liying slowly curled up in his arms, holding her two slender black silk jade legs. This arrogant beauty who usually never showed weakness easily now had a pitiful and delicate beauty.

Lu Sheng held her in his arms and patted her back gently.

Let her know that he is here and listening to her.

This was very effective. At least she did seem to be emotionally relieved and no longer so depressed. It is also possible that she just needed someone who could stay with her and listen to her.

"So in the past thousand years, I have never taken the initiative to explore a dust-covered memory. I have never tried to take off all the skins and look in the mirror to see my true self. Although it is not difficult, I have never tried it once. I just thought to myself that even I have forgotten it anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether it is true or false. Now that I have a strong cultivation base, my influence is spread all over the world, and I have thousands of human skins of stunning beauties with different looks. No one who is my prey can escape from my grasp. You can be as beautiful as you want, and you don’t have to care about anyone’s eyes.”

"For a while, I certainly thought so."

But later, she discovered that no matter how cruel and ruthless she was, she could not completely ignore the eyes of others, especially now, facing this man whom she had been looking forward to for a long time, she so hoped that he could uncover her secrets. All disguises, smile and accept her true appearance.

It's just that I can't say this directly to him.

"But... I also know that this is just an escape. However, escape is indeed useful, and no one is forcing me to face it. Even the fact that I care about it is a bit ridiculous, because I am a painter. The painted-skinned enchantress with thousands of faces, she obviously has so many faces that she can choose at will, why should she care about what she looks like."

"As long as I want, I can lie to myself and not explore this secret for the rest of my life. As long as I don't look, I will never know the truth. In this way, I can still wear layers of beautiful and exquisite human skin and appreciate my beauty. of beauty.”

Su Liying took his hand, placed it on her fair and delicate face, and rubbed it like a nostalgic cat. The feedback felt soft and smooth, and the touch was excellent.

But including this pretty face, it's just a disguise of someone else's skin.

"Even if someone insults me, I can just laugh it off and not care. No matter how she...or they maliciously speculate on how ugly my true appearance is, it has nothing to do with me and won't affect me. If it upsets people, I'll probably kill them." Even they don’t deserve to know my true face under the disguise of human skin.”

"It's just you, you're special."

"You have the qualifications, but the truth may not be as beautiful as you imagined, so I give you the power of choice, Lu Sheng."

"If you are worried that this will affect our relationship, I will no longer pursue my past and let the truth be hidden in time as if it does not exist. From now on, I will always wear the leather you like. , appear in front of you in the most beautiful appearance."

"But if you are willing to continue to like me even though you know that my true appearance may be far uglier than you imagine, then... I also want to face it with you."

"Of course, there is no need to make a choice in a hurry. I won't run away this time, and I won't leave you easily. We have enough time to be prepared to face the truth. Anyway, we have been waiting for thousands of years. How many more days will it take? Ten years doesn't matter to me, there's no need to get too excited, you can think about it for a while, and when you feel you've decided, just tell me."

Su Liying let out a breath.

Finally speaking out, he already knows the fact that I have always been afraid of. What choice will he make when facing the truth?

"...In this case, let's do it now."

Lu Sheng touched her hair. It was black and smooth. The long, slightly curly hair exuded the sweet fragrance of violet. From this angle, you could see the white back of her neck if you removed the hair cover, but you still couldn't see the hidden beauty. Leather zipper up.

"Are you so impatient and want to know what my real body looks like?" She whispered, her cheeks turning red.

"It's not that I'm impatient, I just feel that... there is no need to choose in the first place. Now that I know your worries, can I really turn a blind eye and continue to enjoy it with peace of mind? You know, you are wearing leather clothes The more beautiful your posture is, the more I want to know what you should really be like."

Lu Sheng has been curious about her true identity for a long time, so how could he miss such an opportunity.

"So, I have actually made my decision a long time ago."

"And don't be so pessimistic. Why do you always think of yourself as so ugly? Maybe the real you is actually much more beautiful than I imagined."

"Are you pessimistic...I just habitually calculate the worst-case scenario. Just think of it as the instinct of a scheming bad woman. Instead of having hope first and then despairing, it's better not to have any hope from the beginning." Thinking about it, and...except for those situations that make me feel sicker and sicker the more I think about it, I can't think of any reason why I would actively want to forget my past."

She smiled helplessly.

"Forget it, since you have already decided, I won't advise you much. If you are ready... just look into my eyes and try to kiss me. Don't be scared."

"Kiss you? Is this a necessary step for some kind of magic?" Lu Sheng was a little confused.

But soon, he knew why she suddenly said such a sentence, because Su Liying, who had been docilely clinging to him like a kitten, slowly raised her head with a terrifying smile on her face. .

The ruddy and attractive thin lips curved into a crazy arc, and the corners of the mouth opened wider and wider, becoming more and more exaggerated. Accompanied by the sound of tearing flesh and blood, the smile dripping with blood split directly to the roots of the ears. It looked extremely weird, except Du's bright eyes were filled with a desire so strong that he couldn't tell the difference between true and false.

If it was just like that, he would frown at most, but he could still kiss her. After all, he had seen a lot of pornographic pictures of slit girls in his life, and compared to those real... things, they were just childish.

As if in response to his random thoughts, her appearance in his arms changed again. The blood vessels and muscles under the skin squirmed like fat flesh worms, showing inhuman distortions. The originally bumpy devil figure appeared. The morbidly swollen, crazily bulging flesh stretched the skin...or rather the beautiful leather she wore on her body to the limit, and finally broke apart with a sound that sounded like a tooth-ache, revealing the skin under the skin. Horrible look.

It was a creature that extremely challenged the limits of imagination - even if he knew that it was the girl he loved, he couldn't help but want to call it a monster. Its posture was enough to make ordinary people lose their senses and run away.

Dozens of bloodshot oval eyes were irregularly embedded in the slowly squirming flesh and blood body, and they all stared at him intently. Their cannibalistic eyes were simply creepy, and there were many scarlet flesh touches. From the part that could barely be called a face, growth swayed and danced in a chaotic manner, like living earthworms, extending little by little in his direction, as if to tightly bind his face. , and sent it into the bloody mouth with several rings of sharp teeth.

The extremely uncomfortable and disgusting scene challenged the limits of his nerves. Lu Sheng's back was already wet with sweat. He instinctively wanted to escape, but his remaining rationality held him firmly in place. He could not escape.

The voice, which he could no longer tell whether it was male or female, or even human, kept echoing in his ears, like the low murmur of an ancient god.

"If you still love me, then kiss me... okay?"

She...or so it called.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath.

Close your eyes, face the squirming mass of flesh and blood, and get closer to the face that can no longer be described as terrifying. Even if you **** yourself not to look, you can still feel the earthworm-like tentacles of flesh and blood. The feeling of mucus brushing across your cheeks.

He kept convincing himself that that was Qin Yuqiu, the girl he liked. His feelings for her should not be affected by her terrifying appearance. He just had to muster up the courage to kiss her.

However, his movements became increasingly stiff, slow, and even resistant, and the expression on his face became distorted unconsciously.

After all, he backed down and rushed forward again like a soldier attacking a fortified landing. He repeated this several times, but still couldn't convince himself to kiss the flesh-and-blood alien's face, even once.

Lu Sheng really couldn't stop talking about that.

Even though he knew that this might disappoint her who was looking forward to it, he still gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and shook his head.

"I'm sorry... Yuqiu, I can't do it. I really can't do it. Even if you blame me, I have to say it. Facing you like this, I really... can't muster any courage to kiss you. This It is simply not a pressure that human aesthetics can resist.”

"Believe me, I will try my best to adapt, but I'm afraid I really can't bring up any sexual desires. I don't even know if I can look at you like this calmly... It's not because I dislike you. How about , but I really can’t bear it.”

"Oh... just say so if you think it's ugly. I won't really blame you. Anyway, I've been mentally prepared for it."

The chaotic and indistinguishable echo gradually became clearer and returned to Su Liying's pleasant female voice, but it sounded a little dissatisfied and helpless.

"But, I thought you wouldn't lie. Even if you were disgusted, you would say it openly instead of rushing to find a bunch of excuses. This is what makes me most disappointed. I didn't expect you to be like this, It’s just an illusion, I really don’t believe it can be scary... ugh!! Oh my god... what kind of disgusting ghost is this - vomit vomit vomit!!!"

Su Liying's familiar voice made Lu Sheng, who was still struggling in pain, feel dazed. Then his eyes blurred. The disgusting flesh-and-blood monster lying in his arms disappeared like a bubble, and was replaced by It was Su Liying who was complete and beautiful, as if the very shameful scene just now had never happened.

The next second, the girl in his arms rushed out without saying a word, covering her mouth and running towards the toilet at lightning speed, leaving Lu Sheng sitting there alone. , it took a long time to recover.

"So... what you looked like just now is actually not real?"

While he was thinking, there were bursts of vomiting sounds coming from the toilet, as if everything in his stomach was being vomited out. After nearly two minutes, it ended with the sound of the toilet flushing.

Not long after, Su Liying finally walked out with a glass of water with a pale face. While drinking water and gargling her mouth, she stared at him with very strange eyes, as if he was a terrifying painted-skinned monster.

"Let me tell you, what the hell are you thinking about in your head? How on earth can you imagine that kind of monster posture that makes me sick to the point of vomiting? Even the most outrageous scene I have ever imagined is... It’s less than one-tenth of yours. When I think about my body being like that, I can’t help but vomit.”

"You mean...imagination? So that's not actually your real body?" Lu Sheng twitched the corner of his mouth.

Have you gone through so many difficult psychological struggles in vain?

But for some reason, he couldn't get angry at all when he should have been angry. Instead, there was only one thought that completely occupied his heart.

Rejoice.

Fortunately it was fake.

As the classic saying goes: If it's false, I hope it's true; if it's true, I hope it's false.

He was now extremely glad that the scene just now was not real.

The same is true for Su Liying.

"Ah! Of course not, how could I be so disgusted!"

Her head shook like a rattle, and her curly hair flew up, as if even the possibility of admitting it was an insult to her.

"I didn't tell you in advance just because I wanted to see your truest reaction, so I designed it a little bit and cast a little illusion on you, which can make you see me as the ugliest and most terrifying person you think I am. Through practicing and testing before truly facing the truth, I wanted you to muster up the courage to kiss me, but even I didn’t expect that you could actually imagine such disgusting things in your mind.”

She paused, perhaps feeling that it was a bit inappropriate to complain so confidently that she had lied to someone, and her voice became much weaker.

"...Well...I want to say I'm sorry first. I know it's not a good thing to do and it hurts your feelings, so you can scold me as much as you want. No matter what complaints you have, you can point them at me and I will continue them." , you can tell me any compensation you want, but...before that, I still want to know what is going on in your head."

"I have lived for so many years, and I have seen a lot of monsters with all kinds of weird shapes. Although I can't say that I know every kind of monster, I can at least be sure that there is absolutely no monster that I know that looks that ugly. , that thing in your illusion is really terrifying, okay?"

Su Liying couldn't help but shudder when she thought of that terrifying monster posture. Over the past thousands of years, few things could become her psychological shadow, but the illusion she just saw through his perspective was definitely one of them. .

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have suspected you of making excuses. If it were me, I would have killed you or run away long ago. You could still linger for so long and almost kissed me. I actually wanted to laugh at you before. I hesitated several times even if I dared to kiss you, I was really wrong."

She put down the water glass and sat back next to him, her pale face finally turning rosy.

"Hmm...so that appearance is just an illusion, right? If it can become the object of my greatest fear, then I understand."

Lu Sheng understood immediately.

"Maybe it has something to do with me being a soul player. I happened to be playing a new game recently. Do you still remember the old headband that I was so addicted to some time ago? It was that one, and then... you are a painter, right? When I think of skin, When I think of Godskin, I start thinking about those disgusting monsters that are anti-human, so I think of things like earthworm faces... and some pretty disgusting monsters from the previous game. "

He shrugged innocently, suddenly wanting to laugh.

"You can't blame me. You blame Hidetaka Miyazaki and his art staff."

The atmosphere suddenly became funny.

The two stared at each other for a while, and finally Su Liying was defeated and smiled in frustration.

"Is this human imagination? It can be used for the next time."

She decided to delete the game later.

No reason, just because it scared her.

"Then what should we do next? Do we want to continue?" Lu Sheng asked

"I don't know. It depends on what you think. The atmosphere was originally quite sad. I was prepared to be either disappointed or moved. Who knew you would make me sick when you come here?"

Su Liying put her head on his shoulder, sighed, and said a little uncertainly.

"But... do you really plan to continue? There won't be any psychological shadow. If you are too frightened and can't get up, it will be troublesome. I suggest you calm down first."

"Fortunately, it's not that I can't get hard. It's better to say that after the baptism of the scene just now, I feel that my ability to accept it has almost exceeded the human bottom line. No matter how terrifying your body is, I will not spit it out."

Lu Sheng smiled, he was really confident now.

"If you dare to spit it out, I will beat you."

She raised her little fist threateningly.

"Forget it was just an illusion. I don't blame you for your reaction. After all, I was disgusted myself. If you really vomited it in front of me..."

As she spoke, she became discouraged.

"Forget it, just vomit. It will make you sick, but the effect is about the same when I look in the mirror. I can't blame you."

"If I...well..."

Su Liying hesitated for a while, seemed to have made up her mind, raised her head, and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

"You said, if...I mean if, one in a billion, my body is really as disgusting as what you just saw in the illusion, you don't have to **** yourself to accept it, I can understand it, Even if I **** you to accept it, it will just **** you and consume your emotions, and it will be of no benefit to us."

"If that's true, then from now on, I will wear a beautiful human skin disguise all my life and never take it off... Also, if you really like Qin Yuqiu that much, I will use Qin Yuqiu's human skin to disguise you." Seal that posture, create a seal that even I can't break, and then find a way to erase some of the memories of the two of us today, completely forgetting that appearance, and Qin Yuqiu will be my true body from now on."

"In the final analysis, the reason why I care so much about the appearance of my true body, to the point where it becomes a knot in my heart, is just because I have been thinking about it but never dared to face it for thousands of years."

She thought about it and thought that might be good.

Since he likes Qin Yuqiu, wouldn't it be great if she became Qin Yuqiu, completely turning Qin Yuqiu's posture from a false disguise into reality, so that he can still love him as he does now, and he can finally love without any scruples. Go to him and preserve this memory and years forever.

Otherwise, what else can be done? You can't **** him to fall in love with a disgusting monster that even disgusts him. He also disgusts his boyfriend.

"You are not allowed to refuse. This is my own decision, and it is not only for you, but also for myself. I don't want to remember such an ugly body every day. It will affect my mood, so I might as well forget it."

"...Okay, then I'll listen to you."

Lu Sheng touched her hair and nodded.

"But this is just an **** situation. I don't think it's that outrageous. If you're just not that beautiful, you don't have to do this. Even if your true identity is actually a man, I will try my best to accept it and do my best. To love you."

"Hmm, that sounds nice, but what if it's true?"

She curled her lips and cast a little illusion in front of him.

The delicate mature beauty instantly transformed into a rugged man with a bald head and a beard, but from the neck down he still had the figure of an OL with black stockings and big breasts, which looked indescribably weird.

"Come on, kiss me if you can, you - ugh!"

But before he finished speaking, Lu Sheng held "him" around the neck without hesitation and kissed him on the lips. Even Su Liying was stunned for a moment. She only realized when they were about to kiss each other mouth to mouth and hurriedly canceled the illusion. , changed back to her original beautiful face.

However, Lu Sheng still kissed him and couldn't refuse. In fact, she didn't really want to refuse. She just gave him a symbolic push twice, and then hugged him with both **** and ****, and gave him a deep and demanding kiss. After that, she was panting slightly, her face turned rosy, and she glared at him angrily, but there was a smile on her lips that couldn't be hidden, and she was obviously very happy.

"You guys really dare to kiss me."

"Huh... don't underestimate me. Even with that slutty monster, I almost kissed him under pressure. What does it matter if he just changes his gender?"

Lu Sheng gasped for air.

He had to admit that he was too careless and underestimated the attraction of his painted-skinned girlfriend. This kind of deep and devoted kiss was different from a light kiss. His small human body was really unable to withstand it.

"I've said it before, as long as you don't challenge the limits of aesthetics, it doesn't matter what you look like, whether you are beautiful or ugly. Even if you are really a man, as long as you give me some time to adapt, I am still willing to look like you. I like you so much now."

"I do what I say!"

"...This is what you said."

Su Liying stared at him for a long time, her eyes slowly becoming gentle.

Looking back at the past thousands of years, how many people can do this?

It is not difficult to just like the skin on the outside, and there are not a few people who are obsessed with sperm.

But there is only one person who can be as unwavering as him.

The throbbing in her heart was like a chick looking forward to taking flight, as if she was a thousand years younger and returned to a time when she had lost everything in the past and was ignorant.

"If you're not afraid, then come and let yourself uncover the 'seal' of the truth."

She slowly turned her back and unbuttoned her shirt one by one in front of him. The speed was not fast, but it was not limited to a few buttons on the upper or lower half, but all the buttons. , revealing a smooth, white, graceful back and a lace black bra. Although she turned around deliberately to avoid sight, the smooth curves and a pair of vaguely swaying big breasts still made people bleed.

If it was just like this, it wouldn't be enough to make him look stupid, but the next moment, she took the initiative to unbutton the back of her bra, took off the last covering, and made her upper body truly naked. The only thing that prevented him from taking her The only way to see the light is from the back-to-back position, but just by changing the angle slightly, you can observe the two plump white rabbits on her chest, and take in the beauty of her white skin at a glance.

Even he was a little obsessed with it for a while, and unconsciously stretched his neck little by little, trying to see the unique scenery.

"Okay, just look at it for a while. Don't stare like a fool, okay? Hold your neck. You still want to see the front... Although it's not really that I can't let you look, but that's not the case now. When you feast your eyes on me, don’t you want to see my true face?”

She raised her hand and covered the two points on her chest with her arms. She turned her head and whispered a reminder. She was not angry, but felt... pampering.

"Sorry sorry...what should I do?"

"You'll know soon."

Su Liying did not answer directly, but turned around.

At the same time, a thin strip of zipper gradually appeared on her smooth and delicate back, extending from the bottom of the back of the neck along the spine to the waist. From this unprotected distance, you can intuitively see that the zipper is completely Embedded inside the skin.

This was also the first time that he saw the entire leather zipper in its entirety. She usually avoided him when putting on and taking off human skin, maybe because she didn't want him to see her naked body.

"Speaking of which, why is there a zipper in the rip in the leather on your back? I remember that the mature and usable modern zipper design only appeared in the early 20th century, which is only about a hundred years ago, but you have survived at least Thousands of years... what about before?" Lu Sheng suddenly thought of a question.

"Why are you asking about this suddenly? But since you are curious, I will tell you."

"Well... before, sometimes I would use magic seals to fix it, but I am more accustomed to using physical methods, that is, using thin ribbons made of silk to weave and fix the tears. It looks good, but there is no zipper to wear it like this. It's convenient to take off my skin, although I didn't take off my skin often before. As for you asking why this kind of fixation is needed..."

She considered her words for a moment before speaking slowly.

"This has to start with how skin is made. You may think that I peel human skin off corpses or living people, but in fact there is no such skinning process, but the use of some kind of... The almost instinctive magic turns their bodies directly into empty skins, and their original souls will also be separated from them."

"The leather "processed" in this way will have a slit on the back for putting on and taking off. After putting it on, it will fit together naturally and look flawless. However, it will easily crack when pulled by external ****, so when wearing it, When disguised with leather, there is a chance that someone close to that identity will discover the flaw, so we can only find a way to fix it and then use illusions to cover up the appearance."

"I see."

Lu Sheng touched his chin.

"Okay, don't think so much. Do you still want to see my true face?" Qin Yuqiu gave him an angry look.

"I have made some adjustments to all the human skins worn on my body. You only need to unzip this zipper with your own hands, and you can easily reveal the secrets that have been hidden for thousands of years, and directly see the innermost body. It’s a ritual, isn’t it? I’m giving this opportunity to you, so hurry up and do it.”

"I see……"

Lu Sheng took a deep breath and slowly placed his palms on her smooth back. The skin outside the zipper felt silky and delicate, and the white zipper had a jade-like warm feel. It was about 5 to 6 millimeters wide. At first glance, it might look... It feels a little weird or abrupt, but in his eyes now, this zipper embedded in the leather is her unique mark, the only constant proof on her ever-changing figure, and she is his "painted skin" girlfriend Indispensable part.

On the surface, she has a sweet smile and is no different from an ordinary girl. The only "flaw" is the leather zipper on her back. It is her deepest hidden secret. As long as it is opened, With the zipper, you can take off the delicate skin on her body, revealing the face of the next layer of skin. There is another pretty face that is completely different but equally beautiful, showing you a charming smile.

This kind of setting is really so erotic that it makes people’s hearts itch.

He finally understood why some people liked leather products, which looked quite weird. It was a pursuit of "seemingly real but not real" and a subtle entanglement between the perfect disguise of human skin and the real face. The desire, or the fascination and exploration of the mysterious and unknown true face hidden under that beautiful skin.

And now, the opportunity to uncover this secret was right in front of him.

How can this not be exciting?

Lu Sheng stroked the leather zipper on her back, and his breathing gradually became heavier. Su Liying did not continue to urge him, but waited quietly, with a slight blush inevitably appearing on her face.

He gently pinched the zipper puller at the back of his neck and pulled it down at a constant speed with the "sizzling" friction sound of the zipper. He unblocked the zipper bit by bit, revealing the deepest truth beneath the disguise of hundreds of leather items. .

The cracks in the leather after unzipping the zipper separated left and right under the action of tension, allowing him to clearly see what was inside. It was a piece of smooth and fair skin on her back, which looked different from the way she usually wore leather with the zipper hidden. There is no difference. This at least eliminates the previous speculation of "flesh and blood aliens", but this is only a part of the body, and even the gender cannot be distinguished. We cannot make a conclusion before seeing the face.

Feeling that the leather zipper on her back had been pulled all the way, Su Liying's heart was beating nervously. She took a deep breath, grabbed both sides of the leather as she usually did when taking off the leather, and pulled it upwards with all her strength. Pull off the leather hood.

It's time to face the truth.

"Su Liying's" face quickly separated from the real face under the skin, becoming empty and weird. But at this time, no one had the time to observe what this face had become, because her body was really At this moment, Rong was finally completely exposed to the air, fully exposed in front of him.

She slowly turned around and asked softly and tremblingly in a strange, rather neutral voice.

"Lu Sheng, am I... beautiful in your eyes?"

"Well……"

Lu Sheng remained silent and did not answer her immediately.

This result made her heart tighten suddenly. She knew him very well and knew this reaction all too well. If her face was just plain ugly, he would never have been silent for so long.

"I see... I understand. It's just as I guessed, right? It doesn't matter. You don't have to **** yourself. I'll put the leather clothes on now..." She sighed.

This was also expected. She had been mentally prepared for it, but she still felt a little regretful.

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that. You misunderstood."

Seeing that she misunderstood the reason for his confusion, Lu Sheng quickly waved his hand.

"You don't look as scary as you think, but... I really don't know what to say. In short, I can't use "good-looking or not" to evaluate, because..."

"You have no face at all."

Lu Sheng took out his phone with a strange look on his face, turned on the front camera and handed it to her. This time she could see clearly what she looked like.

As he said, she has no face, only a smooth head, and no gender orientation can be seen from the outline. Other than that, she has nothing. All facial features, including eyes, nose, mouth, and eyebrows, are non-existent. , however she still retains the ability to see, smell and speak.

She once thought it was the effect of some kind of illusion, but after casting several spell-breaking spells without receiving any feedback, she was finally convinced that this was her face.

After accepting this reality, Su Liying stroked her smooth face, feeling either happy or disappointed.

She lowered her head and looked at her chest. There were no nipples, only slightly curved bulges. The size was more than a little smaller than when she was wearing leather clothes. It was not so much breasts, but something between breasts and strong muscles. A vague form.

A little further down, the covering of human skin is uncovered. The front is smooth without any opening for excretion, and the back is... In short, it is simple to the ****.

Judging from the overall image, she is neither a man nor a woman. She can only be said to be a humanoid monster that looks somewhere between a man and a woman. She has a neutral appearance, but has lost most of her human features. Some of the physical characteristics are not like any known monster, and some parts even look like average values ​​calculated to blur the concept of gender, as if they are full of unnaturalness.

"This...what am I?"

she muttered.

"I don't know, but at least it's much prettier than you thought, isn't it? Although the face is a bit too smooth, at least it's not ugly, right?"

Lu Sheng knew what he should do.

He decisively hugged her waist, which was half-dressed off, and kissed her roughly where her lips were without any pressure.

His ability to accept has now been trained to an exaggerated level. It only took him a little time to adapt to images that would be considered weird in the eyes of ordinary people, and he even found them a bit cute - compared to those terrifying images. Let’s talk.

"...Although you kissed me in the right place, I still feel like I didn't kiss on my mouth, but...it's hard for me to describe this feeling. It's like the five senses have turned into phantom limbs that don't exist. It seems to be there but not there." , only the touch is clear, a little uncomfortable.”

Su Liying didn't resist, but she couldn't kiss him back.

"Besides, don't you think...it looks ugly like this?"

"It's a bit weird, but okay, it's much better than I thought. After all, I've never been exposed to the concept of faceless people. If I have to say it, it feels a bit like wearing a layer of flesh-colored zentai? It's the kind of all-inclusive style The tights are not ugly at all. In fact, after you get used to them, there is a... artistic mystery that completely eliminates the concept of human image, although it is a bit abstract." Lu Sheng comforted.

"The concept of man...eliminates..."

She repeated his words in a low voice, as if she had touched some key words in her memory, and fell into thinking.

“……”

Lu Sheng waited quietly without interrupting her until a few minutes later, she finally raised her head.

"I... seem to know what I am."

Su Liying sighed.

"What?"

"I was still a little unsure before, but now I am finally sure that I should be some kind of demon that was transformed by humans. Before becoming like this, I was a human being, and then I went through some kind of demon-transformation ritual to become like this. Humans are inhuman, yes, that’s it.”

The more she spoke, the more certain she became, and the fragments in her memory gradually revived as the true identity was revealed.

“……”

"Lu Sheng, do you know how many ways a person can transform into a demon?"

Without waiting for his answer, she continued talking, obviously not expecting him, an ordinary person, to explain why.

"There are only two ways, either to add demon elements to a human body, or to remove as much of the human part as possible and gradually transform it into a non-human extraordinary life. The other methods are just modifications based on these two methods."

"Although the transformation of humans into monsters has always been a taboo area, for thousands of years there have always been people who actively violated the taboo in order to extend their lifespan. Most of the methods they used were the former, because the success rate is relatively high and the side effects are smaller. The disadvantage is appearance. It may retain some of the characteristics of demons, and it is easy to become bloodthirsty and murderous due to rejection and various bloodline conflicts, and there is even a probability of self-collapse. The upper limit of strength is usually not high. Affected by the source of demonization, the more complex it becomes. The weaker.”

"Wait a minute, can this be considered a minor side effect?"

Lu Sheng didn't understand.

"After this demonization, people will go crazy, and there is also the possibility of self-collapse."

"Compared to the long lifespan gained and the side effects of another approach, they are already very small."

She shook her head.

"Although the other path is generally powerful after transformation and has all kinds of weird talents and supernatural powers, the price is that most of the people who choose to take this path are completely dead, and the vast majority of those who are not dead are also crazy. The success rate and number of successes are even so low that they lose statistical significance. Even I have only heard about it but haven’t seen it with my own eyes.”

"As for me, I have always been unsure whether I am a demon transformed from a human or a natural demon who has practiced some kind of human skin magic. But now it seems that I may have failed in the second path of demonization. Well, there are very few lucky people who have failed but are still alive. Although they should be considered quite successful in terms of strength, overall they are still very unsuccessful."

"After the transformation, I forgot everything in the past and lost my human characteristics. Even the fact that I was a demon transformed from a human was completely forgotten due to the instability after transformation, so I instinctively longed to complete myself. The missing appearance, or some kind of strange desire to transform into a demon, in short, this is how it manifests - wanting to take the face of a beautiful woman as one's own, trying to put on the skin of a beauty and disguise herself as her, Use this method to deceive yourself and deceive others.”

"This is my past, the essence of a "painted skin" monster."

She felt a little emotional, and then she seemed to think of something. Her face without facial features turned in his direction, and "looked directly" into his eyes.

"Without the memory of my past, I am like a blank piece of paper. I have no concept of good and evil and can only act according to instinct. However... when I was weak, someone wanted to kill me, so they all died. Some were afraid of me, So they either died or fled, but no one was willing to get close to me and guide me. When I became stronger, no one would dare to teach me a lesson."

"If you had been born a thousand years earlier, maybe I would be completely different today."

"If I were born a thousand years earlier with a personality like mine, I would probably be dead." Lu Sheng is still very self-aware.

"That's right. If you didn't like me, a bad woman who is special enough, but a more traditional female monster, you would have been killed because the toad wanted to eat the swan meat."

Su Liying "smiled" and her voice sounded a little happy.

"Fortunately, you are lucky, and I am also lucky now."

"However, it has been too long since the time when I transformed into a demon. It has been so long that I can no longer find out what kind of person I was before, whether I was good-looking or not, whether I was good or evil. Even you have struggled with it. The gender issue... I thought I could give a definite answer today, but I didn’t expect that what I got was a result that was destined to be untraceable.”

"How? Do you feel disappointed?"

"What's so disappointing? It's already come to this point. Why do I still care about your gender? You are my Yuqiu, and that's enough." Lu Sheng shook his head.

"It didn't matter whether you were a boy or a girl, I didn't mind."

"Well, if that's the case, then I don't have to worry about it. Let the past things pass. They have lost their meaning anyway. Even my own body has become like this, and I can't change it at all."

She touched her smooth and flat face, like a real goose egg.

"However, there is no need to change back. I am no longer the same individual as I was before I turned into a demon. No matter I was a man or a woman before, I am just a "painted skin" now."

"Even if I take a step back, I was really a man once, but as long as you don't mind, I am willing to give up my original gender forever and exist only as a woman from now on."

"Of course, my current body does look a bit strange. It may be difficult for you to like me. Besides, I have been wearing beautiful human skin for so many years, and I have no interest in appearing in this posture without even a face. I'm so embarrassed in front of you - having said that, if your xp system is so weird that you think I'm so perverted, then I can't accommodate you, but I think you're not at that level yet. "

Su Liying said half teasingly and half seriously.

That face with no facial features and no expression fluctuations would not be out of place even if it appeared in a horror game. It could even trigger the uncanny valley effect in some people. But at this moment, she seemed uncomfortable because of her gentle tone. No matter how weird it is, it has a peaceful beauty.

"Furthermore, not having my own face is not a bad thing for me. At least you and I don't need to worry about whether it is more appropriate to get along with each other in the form of the original body or the posture of leather goods. Anyway, wearing leather goods is what I have always done. It’s normal, you’ve almost adapted to it after so long, haven’t you?”

After untying the last knot that had entangled her for thousands of years, she felt relaxed and happy as never before, and the embraces of the people around her seemed so warm. She raised her head slightly, and even without her eyes, she could clearly see Lu Sheng quietly Listening to her chattering, there was no trace of fear or disgust in those bright eyes, only a slight sense of novelty and joy similar to hers.

Maybe he didn't understand the true meaning of everything today to her, but it didn't stop him from being happy for her, that was enough.

What else is missing?

she thought.

It seems like nothing is missing.

The last stone standing between them had disappeared.

After this period of running-in and mutual adaptation, differences in personality and views on good and evil are no longer problems. Her blood-ridden evil deeds in the past no longer need to be entangled with his clear goals. More importantly, Yes, I no longer have any secrets that I need to hide from him.

In other words, he truly accepted all of her, whether it was her true identity or past sins, or her hated preferences and deepest secrets. Her darkest side was fully known to him, and yet he I still like her as much as I did in the beginning, and this firm feeling has not changed in any way.

As for hobbies, he no longer resisted blindly, but gradually learned to appreciate her collection. The beauty of those leather goods did not gradually deteriorate due to greed of desire, and still maintained the color that belonged to him.

As for lifespan, she is already prepared for an interracial relationship - prepared in many ways.

Then why should she hesitate?

it's time.

It's time to give him your most precious possessions.

She briskly put on the "Su Liying" leather goods again, put her hands into the long gloves, and then put on her hood. After simple kneading and adjustment, her empty facial features quickly became three-dimensional. , hiding the faceless body under the disguise of leather again, and appearing in front of him with a false and exquisite appearance - of course, this is not a deception, it should be called "a woman's appearance is to please herself."

Just like makeup, a girl will dress up carefully before going on a date to show her most beautiful side in front of the boy she likes. It's just that her "makeup" is a little different from ordinary people, but it doesn't matter, as long as he likes it.

She wanted to make herself prettier so that he would be happier when he heard the news.

The thick long eyelashes trembled slightly. The moment he opened his eyes, the succubus-like "Su Liying" returned to Lu Sheng again, but not so completely because the leather zipper on her back had not yet been opened. Seal.

And she was ready to hand over this ritualistic step to him, to the man she trusted.

"Here, help me zip up, okay?"

Su Liying said softly.

After sealing the zipper of the leather item, she transformed from a monster back into a woman.

As a woman, she finally found her favorite place to belong.
