Book 1: Chapter 99


    Ha Zong jumped up and hid behind me. I turned my head and asked him, "What are you doing? Nows the time for you to show your friendship."


    Ha Zong turned pale with fear. He had obviously never witnessed such a scene before. Although I wasnt very afraid, I also felt that things were getting worse and worse. I suddenly thought of what Ha Zong had told me about this thing understanding people''s words and said, "Excuse me, I have something to say."


    The thing twisted its body like some strange rocking toy, the vague shape of a person all that was left of the former leather figurine woman. When I spoke, it didn''t try to crawl over again, but stood swinging in ce.


    I was stunned and thought, <em>it really can understand people</em>. I looked at the dumbfounded Ha Zong and then said to the creature, "Weve gotten along well for a long time. You dont have any problems with me and want to eat him, right?"


    Ha Zong looked at me in horror and then at the leather figurine woman, "Little Master Three, you can''t sell me out like this. "


    I ignored him and looked at the leather figurine woman. "Then, you go ahead and eat slowly. I''ll head out first." Ha Zong immediately hugged me. "Let go," I said angrily.


    "If Im going to die, we die together, Ha Zong said. Were just like spring rolls. Youre the wrapper and Im the stuffing."


    I looked up and saw the leather figurine woman slowly approaching. The two of us desperately tried to retreat, but our backs soon hit the wall and we could do nothing but watch as the leather figurine womans sinister face slowly opened. After soaking in the water, the face had be so distorted that it was indescribable. Only the mouth that I had previously widened enabled me to tell which side of the face was the front.


    "How does it eat people?" I asked. "Does it use its mouth?" I had just finished speaking when the leather figurine womans mouth suddenly tore open, bing as wide as the mouth of a sack. It came at me, but I couldnt retreat anymore. Moreover, that idiot pushed me in front of him again. I could only use both hands to defend myself, so I grabbed the leather figurine womans face. But I forgot that it was soft and the whole leather figurine woman was wrapped up.


    It started to surround my whole body. Ha Zong was behind me and I was already pressed up against the wall, unable to move. I felt all that skin tightly enveloping my own skin and start to slowly expand. It stuck to my skin and slowly wrapped it up.


    <em>He really jinxed us</em>, I said to myself. <em>We really are going to be the stuffing and the wrapper. I dont want to turn into a spring roll with Ha Zong!</em> I started struggling with everything I had, but the human skin was so strong that we were soonpletely wrapped in it and couldnt breathe.


    Ha Zongs head was still exposed and he was yelling hysterically, "Help, help!" I couldnt even shout, because as soon as I opened my mouth, the human skin stretched into it and started crawling down my throat.


    I entered a trance-like state, but theck of oxygen soon made me pass out. Myst thought was: <em>what are people going to think when they see how we died?</em>
