Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 1306: Another Secret Chamber

Xun Tianhai and the others hadn’t heard of anything unusual about Wu Jianhan’s wife.

Thinking about it, Xun Tianhai couldn’t help but ask, "How did you end up like this? Where is Wu Jianhan?"

He Ruomei’s eyes were left with only a black iris, and upon hearing this, she appeared slow and sorrowful.

She mumbled, lowered her head as if resigning to fate, and hoarsely said, "I killed him, he harmed me too, it’s even now, all even..."

Xun Tianhai was shocked upon hearing this, "Wu Jianhan is dead?"

He Ruomei gave a bitter smile, "Yes, dead, I killed him with my own hands..."

"You...weren’t you at home? Our people went to your house to look for you, where are they?" Xun Tianhai pursued further.

He Ruomei suddenly smiled, and the minced flesh at the corner of her mouth immediately fell off. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Seeing the fallen minced flesh, she suddenly restrained all expression, fearing her flesh would continue to fall.

After ensuring her flesh wouldn’t fall further, she spoke, "They’re asleep at my house."

Xun Tianhai and the others exchanged glances.

Bai Changfeng said in a deep voice, "Asleep? How is that possible?"

"I drugged them with sleep-inducing drugs, wanted to wait for them to fall asleep, then return to retrieve my husband’s body." He Ruomei answered.

Bai Changfeng was somewhat surprised, "Wu Jianhan’s body is here?"

How did they not find it?

They searched the inn inside and out, even the secret room, but didn’t see Wu Jianhan’s body.

He Ruomei moved her jaw upon hearing this; it was one of the few parts of her body she could move. She glanced towards the side of the study room and said, "There’s another secret room."

Bai Changfeng was taken aback, "Another secret room?"

He Ruomei nodded slightly, "This inn of ours used to be for mystery novel-themed secret rooms, so there are many secret rooms; during renovations, two were kept."

Bai Changfeng asked hesitantly, "Then why kill your husband and want to retrieve his body?"

He Ruomei looked at them numbly and said, "Is it so hard to understand? Didn’t you see the human skins in the secret room? Those skins were prepared for me; I need human skin to maintain my appearance. I have family to take care of; I can’t let them see me like this, so I can only disguise myself with human skin..."

Bai Changfeng instantly understood, "So the missing tourists before, were harmed by you for their skins?"

He Ruomei perhaps felt she couldn’t escape, so she admitted frankly, "Yes, it was me. I just wanted to maintain my human form... Killing my husband also has to do with this, but more because he wanted to call you over. I wanted to stop him, but he wouldn’t listen, so I seized the chance when he went out to get to the inn first, killed him there, and hid him in another secret room. Originally, I wanted to change the skin immediately, but when your people came, I could only sneak back home...I thought there were no longer any of your people here, so I wanted to come back to change skin..."

She spoke candidly, and it seemed to make sense.

Bai Changfeng, Xun Tianhai, and the others exchanged a glance with Yu Misheng and the others.

"Your husband’s body is in that secret room?" Yu Misheng looked back at He Ruomei and asked, "Take us in to see."

In the pure black depth of He Ruomei’s pupils, a barely detectable light flickered; she nodded slowly, "Okay..."

Bai Changfeng, seeing this, walked over and lifted He Ruomei.

Much of the flesh fell off He Ruomei’s body.

Seeing this, He Ruomei immediately screamed, "Slow, slow down, slow down!"

Bai Changfeng heard this, feeling somewhat conflicted but nonetheless slowed his actions.
