Chapter 006 Needle Picking Method
Chen Duo was lying on the bed, studying the paper man over and over again. Suddenly, sparks appeared on the paper man and he caught fire.
"Do you know where she lives?" Xu Lai asked.
"I...I know." Chen Duo was shocked when she saw Xu Lai's serious expression.
"take me."
"Oh!" Although Chen Duo didn't know what happened, she knew that something was wrong. She put on her shoes without even changing her clothes and followed Xu Lai downstairs.
When they arrived at the gate of Zijinyuan, a taxi just stopped and the two got in immediately.
"Master, Tianxiang Garden on Jiangnan Avenue, please hurry up as much as possible." Chen Duo shouted.
The master glanced at the two of them through the rearview mirror, said "Okay", and the car immediately drove towards Jiangnan Avenue.
"What do you think happened to her?" Chen Duo took a breath and asked Xu Lai. She was still in a daze.
"The silhouette technique is effective within eight hours . The spontaneous combustion of the paper man indicates that the original owner of the paper man has suffered a major change in his body, such as serious injury or direct death." Xu said.
Chen Duo was shocked: "Did she have an accident on the way home? A car crash or something? Should I call the police and ask them to go to her house first?"
"From the perspective of burning paper figures, it should be related to that," Xu said.
He emphasized the word "that kind" and Chen Duo immediately understood that he was talking about an abnormal situation. If they rashly called the police, it might make things worse.
"Will she get into trouble somewhere else?" Chen Duo asked anxiously.
Xu Lai couldn't guarantee this. Kang Lu was tired after expelling the dirty water, so she should go home to rest. Now he could only hope that something really happened to her at home.
The two were talking in low voices in the back, and the driver in the front kept looking sideways, wondering what strange things the young couple were saying.
Tianxiang Garden is near Jiangning University and not far from Zijin Garden. The car drove fast and we arrived there in less than 20 minutes.
The two of them quickly got out of the car and ran into the community.
"Which building?" Xu Lai asked.
"Building 6, Unit 1, Room 1801. She lives here alone." Chen Duo said as he ran.
The two of them took the elevator up, and Chen Duo followed the house number and went over: "Here!" She grasped the door handle and turned it, and it was locked tightly.
"Should I knock on the door and call for help or ask the property management to pry the door open?" Chen Duo was so anxious that she was spinning in circles. But before she could finish her thought, she turned around and found that the door was open and the guy had already pushed the door open.
At this time, she didn't have time to ask what was going on, so she followed him in and touched the switch to turn it on. Then she saw Xu Lai's figure flashing and entering one of the rooms.
It's pitch dark here, how come this guy is walking so fast?
A question mark flashed through Chen Duo's mind, but there was no time to think about it, and he hurriedly chased after him.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Kang Lu lying naked on the ground, with bloody runes painted all over her body!
"Ah!" Chen Duo was stunned.
Then I heard Xu say, "Go back and close the door."
Chen Duo subconsciously said "Oh", ran out of the room quickly and closed the door. When she came back, she saw Xu Lai had already carried Kang Lu to the bed.
"She...how is she?" Chen Duo turned pale with anxiety.
"It's okay, the pubic tattoo is still there." Xu said.
Chen Duo remembered what he had said before, that as long as the tattoo on the yin was still there, the person could still be saved, and he finally felt a little relieved.
He ran over and saw that Xu Lai did not immediately help but stood by the bed and stared at Kang Lu's body. He could not help but angrily said, "What are you doing? Why don't you save her!"
"Stop making noise." Xu Lai stopped her, but his eyes were still fixed on Kang Lu, carefully looking her up to her toes.
Chen Duo was so angry that she gritted her teeth and really wanted to kick him.
After Xu Lai wrote down all the runes, he took out a needle box from his pocket, took out a triangular needle and clamped it on his fingertips.
Chen Duo was just about to ask "What do you want to do with the needle" when she saw the man's finger sweep, and the needle had already landed right in the center of Kang Lu's brow. But the needle had just landed when it was taken out and landed behind Kang Lu's right ear.
Just as Chen Duo's eyes followed that place, the needle had already fallen somewhere else. The needle rose and fell at an incredibly fast speed, without even stopping for a moment.
Chen Duo has a friend who studies Chinese medicine and often asks her for acupuncture, but she has never seen acupuncture performed like this.
You should know that accuracy is extremely important for acupuncture. Even if a skilled acupuncturist wants to insert the needle into a certain part, he has to do it slowly and try to be as steady as possible.
But what is this guy? With his needle insertion speed, it is like a whirlwind and rainstorm. Ordinary people may not be able to do it even if they just prick randomly.
Moreover, generally the needle has to stay in the body for a while. How can it be inserted and removed immediately without stopping for a moment like his?
But it didn't seem like he was just messing around. Chen Duo was stunned and forgot what he was going to say for a moment.
"Go see if there are any ice cubes." Xu Lai stopped the injection at some point.
"Oh." Chen Duo ran to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to look for something.
"No, is ice cream okay?" asked Chen Duo's voice.
Xu Lai: “…”
"Found it!" Chen Duo shouted, filled a cup with ice and ran back. She saw Kang Lu lying on the bed. Her skin looked even whiter, and the tattoo on her body looked even brighter and more tempting.
Xu Lai took an ice cube from the cup and placed it between Kang Lu's eyebrows. Then he took a few more ice cubes and placed them on other parts of her body.
Chen Duo stood aside, too nervous to even breathe. She saw the ice cubes falling on Kang Lu, emitting wisps of white steam, but they did not melt.
Xu Lai casually took out a filigree needle from the needle box, flicked his finger, and with a faint flash of silver light, the needle had already landed on the ice cube between Kang Lu's eyebrows. The silver needle went all the way to the end, piercing through the ice cube and into the skin.
Chen Duo's eyes widened. Was this a magic trick? She had played with this kind of needle before. It was so thin and soft that it would break if she wasn't careful. How could this thing penetrate into the ice? And it was made to bounce?
While she was surprised, Xu Lai inserted a needle continuously and had placed a needle on each ice cube, then put the needle box away.
"Is she...is she okay?" Chen Duo asked hurriedly.
"The life was saved, fortunately you discovered it early." Xu said.
"Oh." Chen Duo finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "Is this the method used to remove genital tattoos? Luckily, she still had ice cubes at home, otherwise I would be in trouble."
Then I heard Xu Lai laugh and say: "There are many ways to remove pubic tattoos, and you don't have to use this method. But this method is relatively gentle and causes the least harm to the human body."
Chen Duo seemed to understand: "You know a lot."
"Of course, I am a magician after all." Xu Lai smiled.
Chen Duo agreed when he thought about it. After all, he had been a magician for more than ten years, so he must have some skills.
"You stay here for a while, I'll go somewhere else." Xu said.
"Oh, go ahead." Chen Duo responded.
Xu Lai returned to the living room, walked around the house, and finally returned to Kang Lu's room. He pointed to a pile of clothes at the head of the bed and said, "Are these clothes yours?"
Chen Duo went over to take a look. Inside was a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans, and even some underwear, all neatly folded together.
"It's mine." Chen Duo could recognize her own clothes at a glance. It was the one she lent to Kang Lu.
"But that's not right. How can this girl fold clothes so neatly?" Chen Duo muttered, "If you don't believe me, go take a look at her closet."
As he said that, he went to open the wardrobe in the cloakroom. Xu Lai went to take a look and saw that it was indeed a mess.
"Then she didn't fold it." Xu said.
How could Chen Duo not understand? Since it was not stacked by Kang Lu, it could only be the person who harmed Kang Lu. What kind of perverted guy is this?
As the two were talking, Chen Duo saw that the blood-red tattoo on Kang Lu's body was slowly fading, and she was shocked.
"It's okay, look there." Xu Lai hurriedly called her.
Chen Duo took a closer look and saw that the bloodstains on Kang Lu's body were fading, while the transparent ice cubes on her body seemed to be seeping with a trace of red, which was becoming thicker and thicker.
After a while, the blood-red tattoo on Kang Lu's body completely disappeared, and the ice cubes turned completely red.
"Did this suck out the pubic tattoo?" Chen Duo asked hurriedly.
"You could say that." Xu Lai smiled, took out the needle, put away the ice cubes, took them to the toilet and flushed them down the toilet.
Chen Duo saw that Kang Lu's chest was rising and falling slightly and that she had recovered her breathing. She reached out and touched her forehead. Her body temperature began to rise.
"Find her something to wear, so you don't say I saw her naked." Xu Lai said as he walked in.
"Weren't you very happy watching it earlier?" Chen Duo looked contemptuous and went to the closet to find a loose nightgown for Kang Lu to change into.
I heard Xu Lai chuckle and say, "The master doesn't care about men or women."
"Just stop it!" Chen Duo would never believe him. "What should we do now?"
"Notify her family to come over. Do you have their phone number?" Xu said.
"I don't have it." Chen Duo said, and rummaged on the table next to her, finding Kang Lu's phone number, but unfortunately there was a password.
But after trying a few times, she opened it.
"As expected, they use birthdays. How old-fashioned." Chen Duo said critically. She flipped through the address book, found a person named Kang Wenlong, and called him.
"Hello, is this Uncle Kang? I'm Kang Lu's classmate. She had an accident... Oh, it's okay, don't worry, I'll be watching her now... Yeah, yeah, I'll wait for you to come over."
"Her father will be here soon." Chen Duo said after hanging up the phone.
"Then wait a moment." Xu Lai dragged a chair over and sat down. "You know your classmate quite well."
"This is called knowing yourself and knowing your enemy. Doesn't she know me thoroughly?" Chen Duo said angrily.
"Isn't it a love-hate relationship?" Xu Lai smiled.
"What's the point of being in love? Stop talking nonsense!" Chen Duo was angry.
The two sat in the room for about half an hour when they heard a knock on the door.
