Raiders of Painted Skin Girlfriend # 5

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

"You ask me like this... Although I really want to say some bold words to show how much I love you, I have never seen what your body looks like. Until now, I can only guess."

Faced with this question that he had thought about many times, Lu Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

"During this period of time, I have also thought about what your body is like many times, and I am ready to face the truth. At least in terms of the ability to accept that I have been trained by you recently, I think I should Acceptable, but I can't really assure you on such a broad issue."

"Even if your body is really ugly, in what sense is it ugly? Is it within the scope of human aesthetics? Is it ordinary ugly, sans sanitised, or disgusting?"

"I asked you this question before, but you always avoided answering, changed the subject, and only let me see you in leather, but I still don't even know how many layers of camouflage you have on your body." I know, you suddenly asked such a question, and I couldn't answer it."

"Because I don't want to perfuse you."

He spoke word by word with serious eyes.

"The more important this question is to you, the less I dare to guarantee it casually. If you insist on an answer, I can only say——No matter what, I like you, but it doesn't mean that this relationship will not be affected. The influence of any external factors, because I am a human being, not a machine that just says I like you."

"When faced with situations beyond my acceptance, I also need to work hard to adapt and accept, just like I used to be afraid of you, but now I can look at your collection of human skins one after another with appreciation. Same."

"I can't guarantee that no matter how terrifying your body looks, you will not be affected, and you will still get along with you like now, but I am willing to change myself bit by bit in order to accept your true side. This is what I once said to you The promise made, and that alone, will never change."

"you……"

Su Liying stared at him intently, bit her lower lip lightly with her white teeth, her beautiful eyes shone brightly, and in his firm tone like a rock, the slightly serious atmosphere eased down.

She could see that he was really serious, and there was no perfunctory meaning in his attitude.

She also knew how much thought the man in front of him had to make such a promise, and it was obviously not something he could think of in a short time—even though he could always say words that touched people's hearts at critical moments, like It was the same that night, but the words were clearly different, well thought out.

He really thought about this question seriously - before he asked this sentence himself.

Instead of making sweeping promises and saying some sweet words as I expected, it was a retreat that seemed out of place, as well as a ridiculous over-cautiousness.

An ordinary girl might be dissatisfied that his answer is not romantic enough, or even not "faithful to love", but she is a painted-skinned witch who has seen countless hearts, so she naturally understands what kind of answer has more weight.

Although sweet words are beautiful, they do not necessarily mean perfunctory, and they can also be full of sincerity, but some words are more touching than simple oaths.

Therefore, she is very glad.

Fortunately, I entrusted my heart to be my beloved,

There are also some regrets.

I regret why I didn't face this problem directly earlier.

"…Sorry, I should have told you earlier."

She cupped his cheeks with both hands and said softly.

"Before, I always thought it was not time to let you know, so I perfunctory your inquiries again and again, thinking it was for your own good, and worried that you would not accept my truth. Now it seems that I am worrying unfoundedly. You are more innocent than me. It is more worthy of trust and expectation than imagined.”

"But... that's not the whole reason. Now that I've said it, I won't hide it."

"The reason why I have been **** to let you see my real body is not only the hesitation in my thoughts, but more importantly... I don't know it myself."

She looked a little hesitant, her red lips were slightly pursed, and she sighed softly.

[Forget it, after all, I brought up the topic myself. Besides, if I really want to be with him... even if it is just a possibility, this problem will be inevitable sooner or later. right】

【It's better to say... His attitude is also one of the important factors that determine the final relationship between us, after all... Even I want a destination that is willing to accept me no matter what the truth is, and can face it with me】

"What do you mean? Shouldn't you know what you look like the best?" Lu Sheng was really puzzled now.

"That only applies to ordinary people or demons, it's not appropriate to use it on my "painted skin"." She shook her head.

"You might as well guess how many human skins I'm wearing."

"Uh... a few hundred? After all, you've lived for so long."

"Not too much, but still a little less. As far as my own memory is concerned, the number will not be less than one thousand. Guess how long I haven't taken off my leather. It's not a piece of two. A piece of skin, but the whole skin."

"This... I don't know, you'd better just say it."

"The answer is... I don't know, but it's been at least two thousand years." Su Liying's voice was still soft and sweet, but her tone was a little confused and ethereal.

"From the earliest time in my memory, I have been wearing layers of camouflage of human skin taken from others, and as time goes by, as the sea changes, I, as a "painted skin", year after year I have been doing my only hobby for many years, using methods such as robbing, trading, cheating, and so on, to get more beautiful and beautiful skins of beauties, and wear them on myself, enjoying and admiring them every day With her stunning beauty and her identity as an innocent woman, she has also gained a reputation for being cruel and bloody."

"Since then, more and more human skin camouflages have been worn on my body. After all, leather is not like ordinary clothes, but more like a kind of innate magic weapon, which can increase my strength, but no matter how many layers of skins I wear , and it will not be shown on the outside. It seems that there is no limit to the number. Which piece of leather you want to use can be replaced out of thin air with a thought. Layers come off in sequence."

"To this day, I wear... at least hundreds of leather items. This is the result of occasionally throwing away some leather items that do not conform to the aesthetic development of the times, and keeping the overall aesthetics in line with the contemporary aesthetic. Some more."

She paused for a moment, waiting for him to digest these surprising truths dumbfounded, before continuing.

"That is to say, in the thousands of years that I still have a clear memory, I have never completely taken off all the leather disguises, and no one has seen the real me, including myself."

"As for my main body...it's too long ago, so long that I have completely forgotten my original identity, do you understand? I can't even...can't remember whether I actively sealed this part of the memory, or Simply because the age is too far away, I have forgotten these things.”

"...Although it is difficult for me to intuitively understand this feeling as a human being who is less than a hundred years old, I can still imagine it to a certain extent. It is normal to forget it 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 puzzled.

Su Liying was leaning against his side at this time, holding his arm with both hands, and leaning her head on his shoulder, with a posture that desperately needed a sense of security. Hearing this, she didn't speak, but hugged him harder. The pair of proud big breasts almost buried half of his arm in it.

After a while of silence, she slowly opened her mouth.

"Lu Sheng, what kind of person do you think would desire to turn a beautiful woman into a human skin and wear it on his body, and even indulge in the process of taking other people's beauty as his own? What kind of person would want to be happy for others A beautiful life, even with a pretty face that doesn't belong to me, can you still smile like a flower?"

"The longer I live, the more I realize that my hobbies and instinctual desires are so terrible, even crazy and grotesque in the eyes of ordinary people, but I enjoy them very much, and I like them very much, although I don't know them. I don’t think there is anything wrong, but I can’t help but wonder, since I have such an inhuman essence, what would my body be like?”

"I used to be, perhaps, an ugly female monster. I was disgusted by all kinds of things, and I was jealous, so I practiced the magic of playing with human skin. I put on a beautiful skin that I snatched from others, and covered my ugly self. Under the false appearance, it got out of control and turned into a "painted skin" monster who took pleasure in playing with leather objects. In order to cover up his past, he took the initiative to seal the memory of the past, and even deceived himself."

She lowered her eyes and narrated as calmly as possible, but her voice trembled uncontrollably, as if this conjecture made her so panic-in this world, there are very few enemies that can make her feel fear from the bottom of her heart No, except herself.

"Or maybe... I might not even be a woman, I'm just a man who likes women's clothes, but I feel ashamed because of my ugly appearance. Until one day, I finally found a way to become a woman perfectly. Peeling off the refined skin can turn into a beautiful woman's sorcerer, but the more enchanting and beautiful she is in the mirror, the more she hates her real self, so she seals her own memory, trying to deceive herself and become the real one. stunning beauty."

"What's more... Maybe I don't even have a human form, but a mass of flesh and blood, a monster with a strange shape that can't be transformed..."

The more she spoke, the greater her reaction was. Su Liying, who was still able to speak calmly and even joked 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 shouldn't like this, even if it was really an acting skill, he would recognize it.

When she made it clear that she needed reassurance, whether it was true or not, it didn't change what he was supposed to do as a boyfriend.

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

Su Liying slowly curled up in his arms, hugging the two slender black silk jade legs of her lower body, this arrogant beauty who never shows weakness easily, now has a delicate and pitiful beauty.

Lu Sheng held her in his arms and patted her on the back lightly.

Let her know that I am here, listening to her talk.

It worked, at least she did seem to be a little more emotionally relieved, less depressed, and maybe she just needed someone to be by her side and listen to what she had to say.

"So for thousands of years, I have never taken the initiative to explore a dusty memory, and I have never tried to take off all the skins and look in the mirror to see my real self. Although it is not difficult, I have never tried it once. I just thought in my heart that even I myself have forgotten anyway, so it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, now that I have a strong cultivation base, my power is spread all over the world, and I have the human skins of hundreds of stunning beauties with different looks No one can escape my prey, you can be as beautiful as you want, and you don't have to care about anyone's gaze."

"For a while, I did think so."

But later, she found that no matter how cruel and ruthless she was, she couldn't completely ignore other people's eyes, especially now, facing this man whom she hadn't looked forward to for a long time, she hoped so much that he could expose her All the pretense, smiling and accepting her for who she really is.

It's just that it can't be said 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. It is even ridiculous that I care about this matter, because I am a painted skin. A painted-skinned witch with thousands of faces, obviously there are so many faces chosen at random, why should she care what she looks like?"

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

Su Liying took his hand, put it on her fair and delicate face, and rubbed it like a cat she was fond of. The feedback was soft and smooth, and the touch was excellent.

But including this pretty face, it was nothing but a disguise of human skin taken from others.

"Even if someone insults me, I can just laugh it off and don't care. No matter how ugly she... or how they maliciously speculate about my true face, it has nothing to do with me. That is, they are not worthy of knowing my true face under the disguise of my human skin."

"Only you, you are special."

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

"If you are worried that this will affect our relationship, I will stop chasing my past and let the truth hide in time, as if it doesn't exist. From now on, I will always wear the leather you like , appearing in front of you in the most beautiful form."

"But if you know that my true self may be far uglier than you imagined, and you are still willing to continue to like me, then... I also want to face it with you."

"Of course, don't rush to make a choice. I won't run away this time, and I won't leave you at every turn. We have enough time to prepare to face the truth. Anyway, we have waited for thousands of years. Wait a few more Ten years is okay for me, you don’t need to be passionate, you can think about it for a while, and when you feel that you have made a decision, just tell me.”

Su Liying let out a light breath.

Finally said it out, he already knew the fact that I have been fearing all this time, what choice will he make when facing the truth?

"...Since this is the case, why not do it now."

Lu Sheng stroked her hair. It was black, shiny and smooth. The slightly curly long hair exuded a sweet violet fragrance. From this angle, you could see the fair nape of her neck, but you still couldn't see the hidden beauty. Up leather zipper.

"Are you so impatient that you just want to know what my body looks like?" She whispered, her cheeks flying into the red cloud.

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

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

"So, I've actually made a decision a long time ago."

"And don't be so pessimistic, why do you always imagine yourself so ugly, maybe the real you is actually much more beautiful than I imagined."

"Are you pessimistic... I just habitually calculate the worst situation. You can take this as the instinct of a scheming bad woman. Instead of having hope first and then despair, it is better not to hold anything from the beginning Think about it, and...except for those situations that made me feel sicker and sicker, I can't think of any reason why I would actively want to forget my past."

She smiled helplessly.

"Forget it, since you've already made up your mind, I won't persuade you much. If you're ready... just look into my eyes and try to kiss me. Don't be scared."

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

But soon, he knew why she said such a sentence suddenly, because Su Liying, who was snuggling in his arms like a kitten, slowly raised her head, with a terrifying smile on her face .

The rosy and attractive thin lips curved wildly, the corners of the mouth opened wider and wider, more and more exaggerated, accompanied by the sound of blood tearing, the smile dripping with blood directly cracked to the base of the ears, it looked extremely strange, only In Du's bright eyes, there was a longing so strong that he couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

If it was just that, he would be frowning at most, but he could still kiss him barely. After all, he has gone through a lot of sex pictures of rip girls in his life, and compared to those real... things are just child's play.

As if responding to his wild thoughts, the appearance of her in his arms changed again. The blood vessels and muscles under the skin wriggled like fat worms, presenting an inhuman distortion. The originally bumpy devil figure appeared Sickly swollen, the crazily bulging flesh stretched the skin...or the beautiful skin worn on her body to the limit, and finally burst open with a sound that made people's teeth sore, revealing the skin under the skin. Horrible look.

It was a creature that challenged the limits of imagination—even though he knew 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 sanity and run away.

Dozens of bloodshot oval eyes are irregularly inlaid on the slowly squirming flesh and blood body, and they all stare at him intently. Those cannibalistic eyes are simply creepy, and many scarlet flesh touches From the part that can barely be called the face, it grows out shaking, dancing in a chaotic manner, like living earthworms, extending towards him little by little, as if to tie his face tightly , into the bloody mouth with several rings of sharp teeth.

The disgusting and disgusting scene challenged his nerve limits. Lu Sheng's back was already wet with sweat, and he wanted to run away instinctively, but he was firmly held in place by the remaining rationality, and he couldn't run away.

It is no longer clear whether it is a man or a woman, or even whether it is a human voice, which keeps echoing in his ears, like the whisper of an ancient god.

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

She...or so it called.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath.

Close your eyes, confront the squirming lump of flesh and blood, and get closer to the face that is no longer terrifying enough to describe. Even if you **** yourself not to look, you can still feel the tentacles of flesh and blood like earthworms. A slimy feeling on the cheeks.

He kept persuading himself that it was Qin Yuqiu, the girl he liked, and his feelings for her should not be affected by her terrifying appearance, he just mustered up the courage to kiss her.

But his movements are still getting more and more stiff, slow, and even resisting, and the expression on his face has unconsciously twisted into a ball.

After all, he flinched, and rushed forward again like a soldier attacking a fortified land. He repeated several times, but he still couldn't convince himself to kiss that flesh and blood alien's face, even once.

Lu Sheng really couldn't get out of that mouth.

Even knowing 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, facing you like this, I really... can't bring up any courage to kiss you at all. It is simply not a pressure that human aesthetics can resist."

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

"Sigh... just say it if you feel ugly. I won't really blame you. Anyway, I've already made mental preparations."

The chaotic and indistinguishable echo gradually became clear, and it changed back to Su Liying's melodious female voice, but it sounded dissatisfied and helpless.

"However, I thought you wouldn't lie. Even if you hate it, you would say it openly, instead of looking for a bunch of reasons in a hurry. This is what disappoints me the most. I didn't expect you to be the same. It's just an illusion, I really don't believe there is anything terrible... vomit!! My God... what kind of disgusting thing is this-voo voo!!!"

Su Liying's familiar voice stunned Lu Sheng, who was still struggling with pain, and then his eyes blurred, and the disgusting monster of flesh and blood that was lying in his arms disappeared like a bubble, replaced by It was the complete and beautiful Su Liying, as if the very sad scene just now had never happened.

In the next second, the girl in his arms covered her mouth and rushed out without saying a word, and ran towards the toilet at lightning speed, leaving only Lu Sheng sitting there in a daze , It took a while to recover.

"So... the appearance just now is not real?"

While he was thinking, there were bursts of vomiting sounds from the toilet, as if he was going to spit out everything in his stomach, and it ended with the sound of the toilet flushing after nearly two minutes.

Not long after, Su Liying finally came out with a pale face, carrying a glass of water. While drinking the water to rinse 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 mind? How on earth can you imagine that kind of monster posture that makes me sick enough to spit it out? Even the most **** scene I have ever imagined It’s less than one-tenth of yours, and I can’t help but want to vomit when I think that my body might be like that.”

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

Co-authoring all the difficult psychological struggles I have done, all in vain?

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

Fortunately.

Good thing it was fake.

Just like the classic saying: If it is false, I hope it is true; if it is true, I hope it is false.

Now he is extremely glad that the scene just now was not real.

The same is true for Su Liying.

"Ah bah! Of course not, how could I be disgusted like that!"

Her head was shaking like a rattle, and her curls were flying, as if admitting to such a possibility would be an insult to her.

"I didn't tell you in advance because I wanted to see your most real reaction, so I designed it a little bit and cast a little illusion on you, so that you can see me as the ugliest and most feared appearance in your heart. The practice and testing before you really face the truth, I wanted you to muster up the courage to kiss and it's over, but I didn't even think that you could imagine that disgusting thing in your mind."

She paused, maybe she felt that it was inappropriate for her to slander outrightly when she cheated, and her voice became weaker.

"...Well... let me say sorry to you first, I know it's not good to do this, it hurt your feelings, so you can scold you how you want, no matter what complaints you have, you can send it to me, I will continue , You can tell me what 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 many monsters with strange shapes. Although I dare not say that I know all kinds of monsters and ghosts, at least I can be sure that there is absolutely no known monster that looks so ugly. , that thing in your phantom is really terrifying, okay?"

Su Liying couldn't help but shudder at the thought of that horrifying monster's posture. For thousands of years, few things could become her psychological shadow, but the phantom scene she saw through his perspective just now is definitely one of them .

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have suspected that you were making excuses. If it were me, I would either kill you or run away a long time ago. You can still struggle for so long, and you almost kissed me. I actually wanted to laugh at you before." If you have the guts to kiss me and hesitate several times, I was really wrong."

She put down the water glass and sat back beside him, her pale face finally turned 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 immediately understood.

"It probably 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 head ring I was so addicted to a while ago? That's it, and then... you are a painted skin, right? When you think of skin When I think of monsters, I think of the monsters of the Godskin series. When I think of Godskins, I diverge my thinking towards those disgusting monsters against humanity, so I think of things like earthworm faces... and some disgusting monsters from the previous work. "

He shrugged innocently, suddenly wanting to laugh.

"You can't blame me, you blame Miyazaki Hidetaka and his artists."

The atmosphere suddenly became funny.

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

"Is this the imagination of human beings? It must be used for the next time."

She decided to go back and delete the game.

No reason, just because it scared her.

"Then what should we do next, should we continue?" Lu Sheng asked

"I don't know either. It depends on what you think. The atmosphere was quite sad. I was prepared to be either disappointed or moved. Who knew that you made me so disgusted when you came here."

Su Liying put her head on his shoulder, sighed, a little uncertain.

"But... are you really going to continue? There won't be any psychological shadow, if you're too scared to get hard, you'll be in trouble. 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 has almost broken through the bottom line of human beings. No matter how terrible your body is, I won't spit it out."

Lu Sheng smiled, he really has this confidence.

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

She raised her small fist threateningly.

"It's fine if it was an illusion just now. I don't blame you for your reaction. After all, I am disgusted by myself. If I really spit it out in front of me..."

As she spoke, she became discouraged herself.

"Forget it, just spit it out, it can make you feel sick, and the effect is similar when I look in the mirror myself, so I can't blame you."

"If I... oh..."

Su Liying hesitated for a while, as if she had made up her mind, she raised her head and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

"You said, if... I mean if, one in a billion, if 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, Even if you are **** to accept it, it is simply torturing you and consuming your feelings, which is not good for us."

"If that's the case, then from now on, I will wear a beautiful human skin disguise for the rest of my life and never take it off again... Also, if you really like Qin Yuqiu so much, I will use Qin Yuqiu's human skin to cover you up." Seal that posture, create a seal that even I can't break, and then find a way to wash away part of the memories of the two of us today, completely forget that appearance, and Qin Yuqiu will be my real body from now on."

"In the final analysis, the reason why I care so much about the appearance of the main body that I have become a kind of knot is just because of the haze formed by thinking about it for thousands of years but never daring to face it."

She thought about it, and thought that might be a good idea.

Since he likes Qin Yuqiu, it would be good for her to become Qin Yuqiu, and completely turn Qin Yuqiu's posture from a fake leather disguise into a real one, so that he can still love himself as he is now, and he can finally love without any scruples Go to him and keep this memory and years forever.

Otherwise, what else can we do? He can't be **** to fall in love with a group of monsters that even disgust him, and even disgust him and his boyfriend.

"Don't refuse, this is my own decision, not only for you, but also for myself. I don't want to remember such an ugly body every day, which will affect my mood. It's better to forget it."

"...Okay, then I will listen to you."

Lu Sheng stroked her hair and nodded.

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

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

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

The delicate mature beauty instantly turned into a rough, bald-headed and bearded man, and his neck was still the figure of an OL with black silk and big breasts, which looked indescribably weird.

"Come on, kiss me if you have the ability, you—uh!"

But before the words fell, Lu Sheng embraced "him" by the neck without hesitation, and kissed his lips. Even Su Liying was stunned for a moment, and only realized when the mouth-to-mouth kiss was about to be kissed, and hurriedly canceled the illusion. , changed back to the original pretty face.

However, Lu Sheng still kissed him and couldn't refuse—in fact, she didn't want to refuse so much. She just gave him a symbolic push, and then embraced him with a desire to greet but refused, a deep kiss that was as much as she wanted. After that, panting slightly, her face was rosy, and she gave him a reproachful look, but there was an unconcealable smile on the corner of her mouth, obviously very happy.

"You guy, you really dare to kiss me."

"Huh... don't underestimate me, I almost kissed that san-destroyed monster under pressure, it's just that it doesn't matter if you change your gender."

Lu Sheng panted heavily.

He had to admit that he was hasty, and underestimated the attraction of his painted skin girlfriend too much. This kind of deep kiss with all his heart was different from the kind of light kiss, and his small human body really couldn't stand it.

"I've said it all, as long as you don't challenge the limit of aesthetics, no matter what you look like, it doesn't matter whether you are beautiful or ugly, even if your body is 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 said it, I did it!"

"...That's what you said."

Su Liying stared at him for a long time, her eyes gradually became gentle.

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

It's not difficult to just like the skin of the appearance, and there are not a few people who have sperm and brains.

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

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

"If you're not afraid, then come on, and let you uncover the "seal" of the truth with your own hands."

She turned her back slowly, and in front of his face, she unbuttoned the shirt one by one. The speed was not fast, but it was not limited to a few of the upper half or the lower half, but all the buttons. , revealing a smooth, white, beautifully lined back and a black lace bra. Although she deliberately turned around to avoid sight, the smooth arc and the faintly visible pair of swaying big breasts still make people want to spurt blood.

If it's just like this, it's not 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 cover, and turned her upper body into a real naked body. The only thing that can see the light is the posture with the back facing away, but with a slight change of angle, you can see the two plump white rabbits on her chest, and you can see the beauty of the whiteness at a glance.

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

"Okay, just watch it for a while, don't stare and look stupid, okay, close your neck, you still want to see the front... Although it's not really that you can't see it, but it's not now When feasting your eyes, don't you want to see my true face?"

She raised her hand, covered the two points on her chest with her arm, and turned her head to remind her softly. She was not angry, but had a feeling of... pampering.

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

"You'll find out soon."

Su Liying didn't answer directly, but turned her head around.

At the same time, a thin strip of zipper gradually emerged on her smooth and delicate back, extending from the back of the neck along the spine to the waist. From this undefended distance, it can be seen intuitively that the zipper is completely embedded in the skin.

This is also the first time that he has seen the whole zipper of the whole leather in its entirety. Usually, she avoids him when putting on and taking off the human skin, maybe because she doesn't want him to see her naked body.

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

"Why did you suddenly ask this? But since you're curious, let me just say it."

"Well... before, I sometimes used magical seals to fix it, but I'm more used to using physical methods, that is, weaving and fixing the gaps with thin ribbons made of silk. It looks good, but there is no zipper to wear it like this. It's easy to take off, although I didn't often take off human skin before, as for why you need this kind of fixing..."

She considered her words before speaking slowly.

"It starts with how the skin is made. You may think that I peel the human skin from the corpse or the living person, but there is no such skinning process, but using some kind of... The almost instinctive sorcery directly turns their bodies into empty skins, and the original souls will also be separated from it."

"There will be a slit on the back of the "processed" leather for putting on and taking off. After wearing it, it will fit together naturally and look flawless, but it will be easily torn if pulled by external ****. When the leather is disguised, people close to that identity may find the flaw, so we can only find a way to fix it, and then use illusion to cover up the appearance."

"I see."

Lu Sheng touched his chin.

"Okay, don't think so much about what's left, do you still want to see my true face?" Qin Yuqiu cast a reproachful glance at him.

"I have made some adjustments to all the human skin that I wear 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 you can directly see the innermost body. Doesn’t it have a sense of ritual? I’ve given you this opportunity, so hurry up and do it.”

"I understand……"

Lu Sheng took a deep breath, and slowly placed his palm on her smooth back. The skin outside the zipper felt silky and delicate to the touch, while the white zipper had a jade-like soft feel and was about 5 to 6 mm wide. It feels a little weird or abrupt, but in his eyes now, this zipper embedded in the leather is her unique imprint, the only constant proof of her ever-changing figure, and it is his "painted skin" girlfriend Indispensable part.

On the surface, she is smiling sweetly, no different from ordinary girls, except for this leather zipper on her back is her only "weakness", it is her deepest hidden secret, as long as you open it Zip the zipper, and you can take off the delicate skin on her body, revealing the face of the next layer of skin. It is a completely different but equally charming pretty face, showing a charming smile at you.

This kind of setting is really irritating.

He finally understood why some people like leather objects, which look rather weird. It is a pursuit of "plausible but not real", a subtle entanglement between the perfect human skin camouflage and the real face desire, or the fascination and exploration of the mysterious and unknown true face hidden under the beautiful skin.

And now, the opportunity to reveal this secret is right in front of his eyes.

How can this not make people excited.

Lu Sheng stroked the leather zipper on her back, breathing gradually became heavy, and Su Liying didn't continue to urge him, and waited quietly, but a little blush inevitably appeared on her face.

He gently pinched the zipper puller at the back of his neck, and pulled it down at a constant speed accompanied by the "sizzling" zipper friction sound, unblocking the zipper bit by bit, revealing the deepest truth under the disguise of hundreds of skins .

After the zipper was unzipped, the leather split was separated from the left and right under the action of tension, so that he could clearly see what was inside. It was a piece of smooth and fair back skin, which was not the same as that of her who usually wore leather with the zipper hidden. It's no different, at least it has ruled out the previous speculation of "flesh and blood", but this is only a part of the body, and even the gender can't be distinguished, so we can't jump to a conclusion before seeing the face.

Feeling that the leather zipper on her back had been pulled to the bottom, Su Liying's heart was also beating fast nervously. She took a deep breath, grabbed both sides of the leather like she usually did when taking off the leather, and pushed it upwards vigorously. Pull off the leather hood.

It's time to face the truth.

The face of "Su Liying" was separated from the real face under the skin quickly, becoming empty and weird, but at this moment, no one would have the leisure to observe what this face had become, because her real body was real. At this moment, Rong was finally completely exposed to the air, fully revealed in front of him.

She turned her head slowly, and asked tremblingly in an unfamiliar, fairly neutral voice.

"Lu Sheng, do you see me...pretty?"

"Uh……"

Lu Sheng remained silent, and did not answer her immediately.

This result made her heart suddenly tighten. She knew him very well, and her reaction to this could not be more clear. If his face was just plain ugly, he would never have been silent for so long.

"That's it... I see, it's as I guessed, right? It's okay, you don't have to **** yourself, I'll just put the leather on now..." She sighed.

This is also expected. She has already made psychological preparations, but she still has some regrets.

"Don't, don't, I didn't mean that, you misunderstood."

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

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

"You have no face at all."

Lu Sheng took out his mobile phone with a strange expression, turned on the front camera and handed it to her. This time, she also saw clearly what her own body looked like.

As he said, she has no face, only a smooth head, no gender orientation can be seen from the outline, and nothing else, all facial features including eyes, nose, mouth and eyebrows are absent , but she still retains the ability to see, smell and speak.

At one point, she thought it was the effect of some kind of illusion, but after performing a few de-cursing spells without receiving any feedback, she was finally convinced that it was her face.

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

She lowered her head and looked at her chest. There were no nipples, only a slightly curved bulge, which was more than a little smaller than when she was wearing leather clothes. It was not so much a breast, but a part between the chest and strong muscles. a vague form.

Going a little further down, uncover the covering human skin, the front is smooth, without any opening for excretion, and the back is... All in all, it is extremely simple.

Judging from the overall image, she can't be considered a man, nor can she be called a woman. She can only be said to be a humanoid monster that looks between a man and a woman. Some of the physical characteristics are not like any known monsters, and some parts even look unnatural like averages calculated to blur the concept of gender.

"What the hell am I?"

she muttered to herself.

"I don't know, but at least it looks much better than you imagined, doesn't it? Although the face is a bit smoother, at least it's not ugly, right?"

Lu Sheng knew what he should do.

He decisively hugged her waist, which had taken off half of her skin, and kissed her without any pressure on the position of her lips.

His current ability to accept has been trained to an exaggerated level. It took him a little time to get used to the weird image in the eyes of ordinary people, and he even thought it was a bit cute—compared to those terrifying images to say.

"...Although the position of your kiss is correct, it always feels like you didn't kiss on the mouth, but... It's hard for me to describe this feeling, like all the five sense organs have become phantom limbs that don't exist. , only the sense of touch is clear, a little uncomfortable."

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

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

"It's a bit weird, but it's okay. It's much better than I imagined. After all, the concept of faceless people is not new. If I have to say it, it feels a bit like wearing a flesh-colored zentai? It's the kind of all-inclusive The tights are not ugly, but after getting used to it, there is still a kind of 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 a key word in some kind of memory, and fell into deep thought.

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 uncertain before, but now I'm finally sure. I should be some kind of man-made demon. Before I became like this, I was a human being, and then I performed some kind of demon-transformation ceremony to become this kind of monster." People are not human, yes, that's it."

The more she said, the more certain she became, and the fragments in her memory gradually recovered as the truth was revealed.

"Lu Sheng, do you know how many ways people can transform into demons?"

Before he could answer, she continued, obviously not expecting him, an ordinary person, to explain why.

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

"Although the transformation of people into demons has always been a taboo field, there have always been people who have violated the taboo in order to prolong their lifespan for thousands of years. Most of them adopted the former method because the success rate is relatively high and the side effects are less. Some of the characteristics of a demon may be left behind, and it is easy to become bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty due to rejection and various blood pulses, 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 Weaker."

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

Lu Sheng didn't understand.

"After this demonization, people are going crazy, and there is also the possibility of self-destruction."

"Compared to the long life span obtained, the side effects of having another pathway are already very small."

She shook her head.

"Although the other way is generally powerful after transformation, and there are all kinds of weird talents and supernatural powers, the price is that most of the people who choose to take this way are dead, and most of them who are not dead are also crazy. The success rate and the number of successful people are even so low that they lose statistical significance, even I have only heard about it but have not seen it with my own eyes.”

"As for me, I have always been unsure whether I am a human-transformed demon or a natural demon who practiced some kind of human skin magic, but now it seems that I may be the failure of the second road to demonization For those who have failed, the very few lucky ones who have failed and not yet died, although they should be considered quite successful in terms of strength, but overall they are still very failures."

"After the transformation, I forgot everything about the past, lost the characteristics of a human, and even the fact that I was a demon transformed from a human was completely forgotten because of the instability after the transformation, so I instinctively longed to complete myself The lack of appearance, or because of some kind of strange desire to transform into a demon, in short, this is what it shows-wanting to take the face of a beautiful woman as his own, trying to put on the beauty's skin and disguise her appearance, To deceive yourself and others in such a way."

"This is my past, which belongs to the essence of the "painted skin" monster."

She was a little moved, and then seemed to think of something, her face without facial features turned to his direction, "looking directly" into his eyes.

"I lost my past memory like a blank sheet of paper, I have no concept of good and evil, I only act according to my instincts, however... when I was weak, someone wanted to kill me, so they all died, some people were afraid of me, So they either died or fled, but no one is willing to get close to me and guide me, and when I become stronger, no one dares to teach me."

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

"If I had been born a thousand years earlier with this personality, I would probably have died." Lu Sheng was still very self-aware.

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

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

"Fortunately, you are very lucky, and I am also very 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 once struggled The gender issue... I thought I could give a definite answer today, but I didn't expect to get a result that is destined to be irreversible."

"How? Will you feel disappointed?"

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

"It doesn't matter if you were a man or a woman, I don't mind."

"Alright, since that's the case, then I don't have to worry about it anymore. Let the past be the past. Anyway, it has lost its meaning. Even my own body has become like this, and I can't change it at all."

She touched her smooth, 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 turning into a demon. No matter whether I was a man or a woman before, the current me is just a "painted skin"."

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

"Of course, my main body looks a bit strange now, and it may be difficult for you to like it, and I have been wearing beautiful human skin for so many years, and I am not interested in showing up in this posture without even a face. It’s embarrassing in front of you——Having said that, if the XP system is so strange to you that you think I’m so perverted, then I can’t accommodate you a bit, but I don’t think you’ve reached that level yet. "

Su Liying said half jokingly and half seriously.

That face with no facial features and no fluctuations in expression is not disobedient even if it appears in a horror game, and it can even trigger some people's uncanny valley effect, but at this moment, she looks uncomfortable because of that gentle tone. No matter how weird it is, it has a kind of quiet beauty.

"Besides, 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 the appearance of the body or the posture of the leather. Anyway, wearing leather is what I have always been. It’s normal, you’ve gotten used to it for so long, haven’t you?”

After unraveling the last knot that had entangled her for thousands of years, her mood was unprecedentedly relaxed and joyful, and the embraces of the people around her seemed so warm. She raised her head slightly, and even though she had no eyes, she could clearly see Lu Sheng quietly Listening to her rambling appearance, there was no trace of fear or disgust in those bright eyes, only a little novelty and joy similar to her.

Maybe he didn't understand what everything today really meant to her, but it didn't stop him from being happy for her, that was enough.

What else?

she thought.

It doesn't seem to be bad.

The last stone standing between the two has disappeared.

After a period of running-in and getting used to each other, differences in personality and differences in views on good and evil are no longer a problem, and her blood-debt evil deeds in the past also no longer need to be entangled with his clear goals. Yes, I no longer need to keep any secrets from him.

In other words, he has truly accepted all of her, whether it is her true identity and past sins, or hated preferences and deepest secrets, her darkest side has been fully known to him, but he He still likes her as he did at the beginning, and this firm relationship has not changed in any way.

And in terms of hobbies, he no longer blindly resisted, but gradually learned to appreciate her collection, the beauty of those leather objects, but did not gradually degenerate because of the greed of desire, and still maintained his color.

As for life expectancy, she has long been prepared for interracial love—prepared in many ways.

Then what else does she need to hesitate?

it's time.

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

She briskly put on the leather of "Su Liying" again, stretched her hands into the long gloves, and then put on her headgear. After simple kneading and adjustment, the empty facial features quickly became three-dimensional , hiding the faceless body again under the disguise of leather, and appearing in front of his eyes with a false and delicate appearance-of course, this is not a deception, it should be called "the appearance of a woman who pleases herself".

Just like makeup, a girl will carefully dress up before a date to show her most beautiful side in front of the boy she likes, but her "makeup" is a bit 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, and the moment he opened his eyes, the glamorous "Su Liying" who looked like a succubus returned to Lu Sheng again, but it was not so thorough, because the leather on the back hadn't been zippered yet. seal it.

And she was going to hand over this ceremonial step to him, to the man she trusted.

"Here, help me zip it up, will you?"

Su Liying said softly.

Zip up the hide, and she transforms from a monster back into a woman.

And as a woman, she finally has her desired belonging.
