Chapter 38 Sacrifice of Miao

Li Muzi's sudden appearance really startled me. This woman was too strange.

The first time I met her I saw a strange handprint on her throat.

Now, I saw her eating a scalp.

This woman was a cannibal.

”What did you see, Mr. Yu?” She asked me in a whisper.

I didn't speak.

She said again, ”It's OK. What on earth did you see?”

”I didn't see anything.” Could I say that I had seen her eat a scalp? Of course, I pretended to be blind and saw nothing.

She took my hand and said, ”You didn't see anything, but why did the coffee fall on the ground? You are too careless.”

I looked down at my head and said I was a bit careless. ”I guess you saw something. Come on. Come in and talk with me.” She took my hand and went to the office.

I really did not want to go. She was so terrible that my heart was quivering.

But if I didn't go? Would there be something even more terrible happening? I saw a ferocious face.

I walked slowly, thought quickly, and I thought of what Liu the sixth said to me, ”If you want to be rich, you must take risks. In the ghost business, if you want to build a reputation, you have to be bold first.”

You must be bold.

I thought, she wants me to go in, so I’ll go in. If there is something wrong, I’ll run. I do not believe a woman could catch up with me.

I followed her into the office.

As soon as she entered the office, she shut the door and said to me, ”Sit down, sir.”

”Alas.”

I sat on the couch, watching her.

She pointed at the scalp in the unknown solution and said: “You must have been watching me eat that scalp.”

Since she had asked, I said: “Yes, I saw you eating scalp.”

She walked to the front of the scalp, one hand braced the glass container, and said to me, ”Do you know who he is?”

I asked, ”Who?”

”The owner of the scalp,” she said.

I also couldn't play dumb. Since she discussed this topic with me, then I could only continue to discuss with her.

I said, “Who is that man?”

”My first boyfriend.” She said: “I can tell you the truth... I ate his two hands.”

Ah?

I was already ready in my heart, but I was still amazed. She also ate her first boyfriend's hands?

I suddenly remembered that the first time I saw her, I saw a small handprint on her throat. Was that small slap from her first boyfriend?

I swallowed saliva, and felt she was very terrible.

A woman who ate hands and scalps… Besides ‘terrible’, I couldn't think of another word to describe her.

However, her eyes suddenly returned red, and she asked me: “Mr. Yu, you must think I'm a terrible woman, like an old witch in a western fairy tale, right?”

”No, no,” I hurriedly waved my hands to deny.

She said, ”No, I think I am an old witch, but these are my hometown’s rules.”

”Your hometown?” I was a little confused.

What was the relationship between eating hands and scalps and her hometown?

She went to the office closet, inserted a key, twisted, and opened the door.

Inside the door hung several colorful clothes. These clothes were tall, somber robes. Looking at the style and texture, they seemed to be quite old.

She touched those clothes and said, ”My grandmother is the sorceress of the Miao. These clothes were left for me by my grandmother.”
