Chapter 992: Chapter 23 Masks, Knives, Flesh!_2

He never expected someone to be so despicable.

He should study more.

Thinking to himself, Modo tried to reason again.

“Maybe it’s just an act in the heat of the moment?”

“You should know, sometimes men can’t help themselves.”

Modo continued.

“So, his saying ‘Why can’t I call you my wife when I have a girlfriend, she’s the girlfriend, you’re the wife, darling is darling, baby is baby, isn’t it different?’ makes sense?”

The girl asked.

Seems somewhat reasonable.

Modo thought to himself, but his outward response was filled with righteousness.

“Scumbag!”

He looked furious, as if scumbags deserved divine punishment.

In reality, he was quietly approaching the girl.

He wanted to grab her and pull her back.

Even though he had been drinking, given the physical difference between them, Modo was confident that if he could just grab hold of this girl, he could definitely save her.

“Yes, he’s a scumbag.”

“So, I put him into four bags.”

The girl whispered.

The sobbing stopped at that moment.

Four bags?!

Modo paused, his eyes wide in shock as he stared at the girl, only then noticing the dark red stains beneath her garment.

It was blood!

Modo’s scalp tingled.

He looked at the girl, at a loss.

Saving someone and saving a murderer are different.

At least to Modo, someone who had killed was no longer human.

Especially… dismemberment.

He swallowed.

Modo wanted to add some moisture to his dry throat.

But instead of providing relief, it only intensified his nervousness.

Unconsciously, Modo began to retreat.

But the girl noticed.

“Are you afraid of me?”

The girl asked.

“No, not at all, why would I be?”

Modo stuttered.

“Then why are you backing away?”

The girl continued.

“I drank too much, I’m not steady on my feet.”

Modo answered.

“Oh!”

“Then let me help you sober up!”

With these words, the girl lowered her hands from her face.

Instantly, the retreating Modo was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

What kind of face was that.

No eyes, no nose, no mouth, just a blank white, like a cooked egg white.

“Mama mia!”

With that scream, Modo scramble-ran towards the bridge.

Not over the bridge.

Because the girl was standing in the direction of his home.

He didn’t dare go near her; instead, he turned around and ran towards the bar he had come from.

“Please don’t close yet!”

Modo prayed inside.

He didn’t know what he had encountered or what had happened.

But he knew that in such a moment, having more people around could be reassuring.

Moreover, there were more than just one person in the bar.

Just as he had left, there were still two tables of guests ordering chicken skewers and grilled garlic.

Running down from the bridge, Modo saw the little bar illuminated by lanterns in the distance, sprinting with all his might.

When he pushed open the big doors of the small bar, he found that apart from the owner who was cleaning up, there were no customers left.

Had everyone already left?

Had he just wasted a lot of time?

Modo was stunned.

“What’s the matter, Modo?”

“Did you forget something here?”

The bar owner asked, familiar with Modo due to his frequent visits.

“No, not that.”

Modo panted heavily, shaking his head.

“Then what did you encounter? A robber blocking the road?”

“That can’t be right; the local security is quite good.”

The owner kept asking.

“It’s not that.”

“I ran into a girl…”

“A girl?”

“A girl frightened you like this? Was she ugly?”

The owner was curious.

“Not ugly, she was very beautiful at first.”

“But, but then, she wiped her hands across her face, and her whole face became empty, just a smooth surface… I, I don’t know how else to describe it.”

“Anyway, it was terrifying.”

“I barely managed to escape.”

Modo’s expression showed he was still shaken.

The owner laughed.

“I thought it was something serious, so it was just this.”

“Then do you think… it was like this?”

As he spoke, the owner wiped his face with his hand.

Suddenly, where there had been normal features a moment ago, now there was a smooth face, eyes, mouth, nose all disappeared.

“Ah!”

Modo screamed and fainted.

When he woke up, it was already daylight.

He was not in the bar, nor near the bar, but beside the bridge.

After waking up, Modo felt bewildered.

When he recalled what had happened, his face turned utterly pale, then he started running frantically towards ‘Rock Electric’ nearby.

“Before, the owner of Rock told me that a new exorcism office had opened here.”

“I used to mock it, thinking it was a scam.”

“But now, it has become my lifeline.”

“Please save me.”

Saying so, Modo knelt in front of Jason.

Jason raised an eyebrow.

Then, he turned and walked into the room.

Seeing this, Modo was overjoyed.

He stood up, cautiously entered the room after him, closed the door behind, locked it, and with an increasingly humble tone said: “Why is your office called ‘Mask X Cleaver X Meat’?”

“What’s the matter?”

Jason asked without turning back.

“Nothing.”
