Shen Weixun didn't want Xiaotuanzi to see his cruel side.
What was going to happen next was not suitable for children.
Shen Weixun wasn't going to do such a thing himself either. Instead, he went back to find the surveillance storage card, copied all the surveillance footage, and then sent the data back to the relevant departments.
They should know what to do with these people next.
It was just a bit troublesome overseas. Even the relevant departments would have to go through a lot of hassle to deal with these people.
But that had nothing to do with them.
There were still a few islands left. Shen Weixun flew over them at the fastest speed and confirmed that all these islands were laboratory bases.
After a round, he still couldn't find the lair of the Holy Cult. Instead, it just annoyed him.
But what he could be sure of was that they had hidden back in the dark again. They definitely wouldn't show up for a while.
The werewolves had now immigrated. The matter of Count Charlie was finally resolved this time.
They had no reason to stay. Just as they were about to leave, Lilia came to them.
She said that a little sister of the witch was very angry after knowing that the Holy Cult had deceived them.
That little sister had a strong ability to communicate with spirits. When communicating with the spirits, she got a little information about the Holy Cult and then went to a villa.
That villa was well - known for being haunted. That little sister had never come back since she went in.
Lilia was very anxious and hoped that they could help.
Hearing that it was related to the Holy Cult, Niannian agreed without even thinking. Others didn't even have time to stop her.
Since the words were out, they had to do it. Now they had to go even if they didn't want to.
This villa was originally bought by a merchant from beyond the Great Wall. The merchant had two daughters. The elder one was 17 years old and the younger one was 8 years old.
The incident happened a year ago.
First, the merchant's elder daughter was raped and killed. The murderer was so arrogant that he threw her body at the villa's door.
Although the murderer was finally identified, when they found him, he was already dead.
He had a sudden heart attack and died on the spot.
The next one to have an accident was the younger daughter.
She disappeared mysteriously while watching TV at home.
The merchant searched for a long time but found nothing.
Half a month after the incident, the merchant and his wife moved out of the villa and put it up for sale.
It was sold at a low price and soon attracted attention. A real - estate speculator bought the house and rented it out.
The next victim was the young man who rented the house.
He had stayed up too late and finally died in his sleep. His body was only discovered when it started to stink.
With so many accidents happening in this villa one after another, no one dared to rent or buy it.
The person who had spent a lot of money on the villa was naturally not willing to let it go to waste.
He then transformed the villa into a daily - rental house, targeting tourists who wanted a cheap and nice place to stay.
There were no accidents in the first few rentals.
However, a group of young men and women on a graduation trip died in the villa the day after they moved in.
After the forensic examination, it was concluded that they had taken a large amount of hallucinogenic drugs before they died. They didn't know what they saw in the hallucinations and killed each other, resulting in this tragedy.
Since then, no one had lived in this house.
The witch disappeared when she came to this villa at night, so Xiaotuanzi also chose to come at night.
As soon as they entered, they saw many souls wandering around.
Normally, it was impossible for so many ghosts to exist in one house.
Ghosts also had a sense of territory. Only the stronger ones could stay in a certain area. A peaceful co - existence was rare.
Most of the ghostly shadows were just black blobs, but there was one particularly distinct one that they could clearly see the human form.
It was stronger than the other ghosts here and should have some self - awareness.
"Can you hear me?"
Xiaotuanzi walked slowly towards the soul. The ghost looked a bit dazed and wasn't surprised at all that Xiaotuanzi could talk to it.
It even nodded slowly.
"A woman came in here a few days ago. She was in her twenties. Do you know where she went?"
The soul didn't answer this question but gradually became more solid.
When they saw its appearance, Niannian's eyes widened slightly.
The soul maintained the appearance it had before death. The skin on its back was peeled off very neatly, in a square shape. It didn't seem like the work of a pervert satisfying their own desires.
Perverts who liked to skin people usually kept some meaningful body parts.
Like hands, feet, legs, or facial skin.
The square - shaped peeling on the back made Niannian involuntarily think of something.
The Sister Drum.
Also known as the human - skin drum.
The human - skin drum was actually a kind of magical instrument.
A young girl's skin was chosen because an innocent young girl was the purest, and pure things could drive away filth.
Deaf - mute girls were selected because they had never heard any outside information and couldn't communicate with others, ensuring the most authentic self.
Everything was moving towards purity.
However, the way of making this magical instrument was extremely evil.
It was a very ironic and cruel thing.
Niannian had seen a Sister Drum before. It was used for sacrifices. Every time it was shaken, she seemed to be able to hear the girl's mournful cries.
The sound of the drum seemed to be telling her misery and her unwillingness to be made into a magical instrument.
So she had always hated such things.
Later, that human - skin drum was also destroyed by her master.
Thump, thump, thump.
Just then, a sudden drum sound came from upstairs in the villa.
A little girl in a white dress, holding a rattle, appeared at the top of the stairs.
Niannian immediately recognized that the drum in the little girl's hand was made of human skin.
"Is that your skin?"
Niannian pointed at the human - skin drum in the little girl's hand and asked.
But she still didn't get any response. The soul looked dull. But since it had now taken on its original appearance before death, it shouldn't be unable to understand a normal question.
But if the human - skin drum in the little girl's hand was really the girl's skin, the soul shouldn't be so calm.
That was a part of its own body being taken away and made into a drum. Anyone would go crazy if they saw such a magical instrument.
Maybe it wasn't. Maybe the human - skin drum was made from someone else's skin.
But what was going on with this soul in front of them?
Niannian was very confused. She looked up at the little girl who was about her age and tilted her head, waiting for the girl's next move.
