"Xiaoqin, Xiaoqin—"

Ma Li shouted loudly and began to bang on the door vigorously.

"Bang bang bang-"

The door that should have been locked was slammed open by him.

With a creaking sound, the door leaf slowly moved forward around the door axis, and Ma Li was stunned for a moment before reacting, and then pushed the door open.

I saw that the unkempt hair was still spraying water, and the steaming mist filled the bathroom.

But the bathroom is empty, where is Su Qin's shadow?!

Ma Lidun's legs were weak, and the whole person was crazy, shouting Su Qin's name loudly, but in this palm-sized place, even an ant couldn't hide it, but he couldn't see a big living person.

He turned off the unkempt water, walked out of the bathroom, and searched all over the house.

This is the master bedroom with a bathroom, and if you want to go out of the bathroom, you will definitely pass by the bedroom.

And he has been in the bedroom all the time, staring at the bathroom door, if she really came out, I am afraid that he would have thrown herself on the bed and "eaten".

He suddenly remembered that he had indeed seen a figure on the glass door just now, so he quickly turned around to look, and found strangely that the figure was still there!

Ma Li's hand holding the doorknob was trembling, and he pushed the door open, thinking that Su Qin would suddenly appear in the bathroom...... His head was very messy, so he didn't think about the weirdness at all, and he didn't have time to be afraid.

Still, it was empty.

Then when he closed the door again and looked over, he saw the figure printed on the glass slowly fade away, dissipating like a wisp of smoke.

So he immediately called his parents on both sides and asked Su Qin if he had gone to them...... The answer, of course, was no, and everyone got nervous and started looking around.

Ma Li called the police.

This disappearance is probably the weirdest of all the disappearances. In addition, Ma Li still has some connections, so he attaches more importance to it.

However, it is still necessary to check his mental state and whether there are any false elements in his description.

After a series of examinations, it was confirmed that Ma Li had no mental problems, and everything he said was completely consistent with the evidence found.

Police also found something at the scene.

All of Su Qin's personal belongings were there, including all her clothes. The most bizarre thing was that the sleepiness she had brought into the bathroom, the towels, and even the wedding ring that she had never taken off, were found on the bathroom floor.

In other words, if Su Qin really disappeared, it would be that she disappeared out of thin air as if she was completely naked.

Su Qin's parents wondered if Ma Li had done something to their daughter, after all, a big living person, how could he say that he would disappear if he couldn't see it?

So all the rooms were searched to the bottom to confirm that there was no blood, and there was not the slightest trace of human tissue......

The case is deadlocked, and if there is no progress within 24 hours of the disappearance, it will essentially be left unsolved.

A police officer saw the pen name on Su Qin's notebook and said: "It turns out that she is the writer of the column "Travel Adventures", I remember that her latest update is called Lost Painted Skin......"

As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly became energetic. There is a lot of pressure on this case, mainly because Su Qin's parents often come to the police station, although they can understand the pain of losing their daughter at this age, but the information they have collected is limited, and there is nothing they can do.

Seeing that everyone was so eager, the police officer searched for a long time from under his desk, dug out the issue of the travel journal, and continued: "That's it, it seems to have been published on the day she disappeared, and I bought it that morning." If you count the time, this article should have been sent to the magazine before her disappearance. ”

…… Shi Feng and Mo Li had taken a cursory look at this file when they were sorting it out. Attached to the back of the file is a page of the journal that has been cropped, which is the one written by Su Qin.

At the beginning, like many travelogues, it describes the scenery along the way, and then the group of six people arrived at a small mountain village, or a small village.

The stockade is located in a valley and is surrounded by logs driven into the ground, sharpened at the top, woven with a special vine and rammed with a mixture of earth and stone.

All the houses in the village were made of earth and wood, and they were surrounded by a wall, and in the center was a platform made of stones, two or three feet above the ground, and in the center of the platform grew a large tree that required several people to hug it.

The foliage was luxuriant, but they saw masks hanging from the branches everywhere, fluttering in the wind like wind chimes.

According to the villagers, these masks can help them ward off evil spirits, bless them, and give each of them a mask before leaving.

According to the description of the travelogue written by Su Qin, the mask is soft to the touch, with a warm touch, and it is very realistic, wearing it on the face as if it was completely grown by itself.

One of the people in their team once put a mask on his face on the way back, which scared everyone - why did a stranger suddenly appear in the car?

However, after this little episode, they felt that the mask was very well done, and there were more new things waiting for them during the journey, so they quickly diverted their attention.

And Su Qin happened to write this travelogue and took an eye-catching name "Lost Painted Skin".

According to this clue, the police investigated for a long time, only to know that the travelers who were with Su Qin at the beginning could not be contacted, and the progress was very slow.

Later, the national data network found that several other people also disappeared for no reason, but most of them lost contact when they went to travel, so they thought they were lost in the deep mountains and old forests.

But because of Su Qin's case, people can't help but associate with the lost painted skin. It was then submitted to the Special Task Force.

At the back of the file is the record of the investigation of the case by the special case team.

The first is to investigate the whole thing and look for clues...... There is a large stack of information in it that is their investigation.

Of course, their methods were even more powerful, and they finally found out the small mountain village that Su Qin and the others had been to in the first place.

Special task forces usually send teams of two to operate, and this time is no exception.

Ten days later, two old and filthy beggars returned, saying that they were members of the special task force.

The people were shocked, and after careful questioning, all their memories were completely consistent with the two people they were sent, except that they had no abilities and completely changed from their body shape to appearance. Even some of the issues that are absolutely private are perfect.

There was a person in the special case team who was good at witchcraft, and he examined the two of them in detail, and said: "They have been reskinned, but the skin has completely grown with their bodies, and if you want to get rid of the current appearance, you can only pull out the skin on your entire face." And as soon as possible. ”

There is no record in the file of what happened to the two people who were skinned, and whether they were skinned? And can you restore your original cultivation?

The conclusion of the case is: a very evil kind of witchcraft, but their limitations are also very obvious, and they can only be in that place. There is no better way to deal with it, and it is "unfinished".
