Capítulo 1278: Chapter 1278: Sewing Machine

Jiangli listened as Xia Xin rambled on about his doubts, raised an eyebrow and said, “Hmm, you’ve gotten smarter.”

Xia Xin was taken aback, feeling a bit embarrassed, “Well, I’ve been learning from the ancestors for so long, I should make so progress…”

Jiangli smiled faintly, “Impressive.”

Xia Xin chuckled, forgetting his fear.

“But the ancestors…”

He quickly cald down, “What do you think? Could Wu Jianhan be the murderer?”

Jiangli shook his head slightly, “It’s hard to say, but it’s very likely not.”

Xia Xin thought the sa.

He pondered for a mont, looked around, “There doesn’t seem to be much Yin Energy here, so it might not be the disturbance of evil spirits or objects. Is it human interference then?”

Upon hearing this, Jiangli was about to speak.

Suddenly, a piercing bell rang.

“Damn!”

Xia Xin was startled and clutched his chest, his face pale, “What sound is this, so scary?!”

Jiangli looked up following the sound, “It’s coming from above.”

The chanical bell reverberated throughout the secret room.

Soon, that old-fashioned chanical bell-like sound abruptly vanished.

Jiangli said, “Should be nothing serious, let’s check below first and confirm how many skulls are here. At least we can estimate a rough number of people.”

Xia Xin’s heart was pounding, badly frightened by the bell just monts ago. He heard the words, dazedly nodded, patted his small chest, and walked scared to the nearby cabinet, trembling as he opened it…

At that instant, he squinted, not daring to look directly inside.

After opening it, he cautiously peeped in.

Inside the cabinet, instead of skulls and viscera soaked in glass jars, there were…

A pile of human skins.

The human skins were directly hanging in the cabinet.

When the cabinet door opened, the skins almost drifted onto Xia Xin’s face.

The overwhelming sll of blood, accompanied by a cold chill, rushed into his nostrils.

He could even feel a mist mixed with the sll of blood hitting his face.

Xia Xin suddenly jumped a few ters back, shrieking in horror.

“Damn! Ancestors, look, look at what these things are!”

Jiangli and Fu Shiyan heard the commotion and turned to look.

Seeing the contents of the cabinet, Jiangli’s face darkened, quickly walked over.

Xia Xin clung to a nearby support pillar, breathing rapidly, nearly collapsing.

Fu Shiyan also ca over, gazed at the contents inside, his voice deepened, “Are these… human skins?”

Jiangli reached out and grabbed one.

Seeing this, Xia Xin couldn’t help but shout, “Ancestors, that’s human skin, human skin!”

How could you touch it directly?!

He didn’t directly touch it yet now felt, his nostrils were filled with the sticky cold sll of blood, almost gagging.

Jiangli seed not to hear, grabbed one, looked closely.

Indeed, it was a human skin.

One could directly see the limbs and torso, even the skin on the head was connected.

But…

Jiangli picked up another one, so of the human skins inside seed to have had a piece cut away, leaving one irregular hole after another.

Jiangli frowned, examined carefully, apart from the first skin she checked, all other skins had missing parts, just the areas varied.

The cuts were extraordinarily smooth, looked as if they were sliced off with a sharp tool.

Jiangli silently placed the skins back and quickly turned around, opened the remaining cabinet.

Inside was a wall of tools, and even… a sewing machine hidden in the cabinet.
