NovelEnglishChapter 2250: Tell Me Where There Is No Poison
When Ning Shu arrived outside Elder Shen’s residence, she could hear the pained wails and groans that were reverberating from inside, as if the residence was a purgatory on earth.
Moreover, the air was permeated by the smell of various herbs.
Ning Shu stood outside the door. She cupped her hands in front of her mouth and shouted into the room, “Elder Shen, tell me where there is no poison. I want to come in.”
Ning Shu also could work with poison. However, Elder Shen was a research fanatic obsessed with unique poisons. He was always surrounded by all sorts of poisons, which Ning Shu didn’t want to experience being poisoned with.
Elder Shen’s arsenal of poisons also could make people suffer so horribly they’d wish for death instead. To someone like this, Ning Shu was willing to concede defeat.
After all, Elder Shen’s entire life was dedicated to the cause of poison manufacturing.
“It’s everywhere. Just come in and I’ll give you the antidote.” Elder Shen’s hoarse voice came from inside the house.
When he had no test subject, Elder Shen would use himself to test his creations. The permanent damage to his throat was a result of this.
Ning Shu: …

Ning Shu covered her nose and mouth and entered the yard. Inside the building, several test subjects were tied to wooden boards.
The skin of several people had turned green, while the hair of some others was completely gone. Some people’s skin was even ulcerated.
These people certainly wanted to die, but they couldn’t. This was the torturous fate that they had to face.
Elder Shen was the most abnormal member of the entire Sacred Demonic Sect. It was a given that no one would come to this courtyard.
Elder Shen, after all, puttered over these things every day.
Ning Shu held a hand out to Elder Shen. “Give me the antidote.”
“There is no poison. I lied to you,” said Elder Shen hoarsely. His voice sounded similar to the sound of sandpaper scraping the ground. It would make anyone who was listening uncomfortable.
Ning Shu took her own pulse and found that there was indeed no sign of poisoning. Despite this, Ning Shu was still cautious of Elder Shen.
All researchers were abnormal.
Especially so were zealots like Elder Shen.
Elder Shen, who was obviously less than 40 years old, had white hair that had almost completely fallen out. The sparse hair that was left formed little balls on his head. Ning Shu had no idea if it was because he had eaten too much poison and destroyed the mechanism of his own body.
Ning Shu also had no idea of how this bastard had become so fanatical.
Elder Shen only ignored Ning Shu. He was busy feeding a bowl of black and thick stuff into a test subject’s mouth.
The test subject’s face showed that he had nothing left to live for, and tears flowed from his blind eyes. Seeing this, Elder Shen only chuckled happily.
Ning Shu: …
Ning Shu asked Elder Shen, “Elder Shen, Mei Wu sent a face skin over, didn’t he? What did you do with it? Can you use that sheet of skin to change someone’s face?”
Elder Shen gave a box to Ning Shu. She glanced at him, opened the box, and saw a sheet of face skin inside. It had all the details of a face including faint veins and even eyelashes.
The face skin floated in liquid medicine.
Ning Shu carefully lifted out the thin sheet of skin. It was as thin as a cicada’s wings.

“Yes. However, since this is not your own skin, after all, you should take it off and allow your skin to breathe after wearing it for a period of time. Also, when it’s not used, the skin should be soaked in the liquid medicine, otherwise, it will rot,” Elder Shen explained.
“Then I will try it,” Ning Shu said as she put the skin on her face.
Ning Shu had to work and wipe the skin for quite some time until the face skin was placed smoothly and evenly over her face.
Ning Shu then took out a small bronze mirror and took a look. Since the mask was made out of real human skin, it looked natural and it was not easy to pick out any flaws.
Ancient technology wasn’t bad at all.
Ning Shu looked at Qi Yi’s face in the mirror. She didn’t need to look identical to him. Seventy to eighty percent of similarity was enough for her. After all, Qi Yi initially came to the Sacred Demonic Cult as a young tween. It was only natural that his appearance would change a little over time as he grew up.
Ning Shu touched her throat, where there was no Adam’s apple. There was also the issue of her big chest. Being able to go around with a big chest and not be noticed was a privilege reserved only for the privilege of the female lead.
