Chapter 146: The Man Who Eats Ghosts
In the brightly lit room, large full-length mirrors surrounded the area.
In the center, a huge, completely naked man was sitting cross-legged.
He was built like a steel tower, his face covered with thick beard, looking fierce, his exposed skin completely covered with tattoos.
Around his lower abdomen, the tattoos were of beasts, on his stomach were birds, and on his chest were five hollow circles of varying sizes, each surrounded by intricate Manchu script, resembling five eerie suns.
On his back, however, was tattooed a malicious ghost, skin and bones, with a swollen belly and greedy eyes, holding a fork in one hand and a baby in the other, stuffing it into its mouth, the whole image exuding a thick aura of evil and death.
At this moment, the robust man was tattooing the sixth hollow circle on his chest.
Despite his burly size, his tattooing technique was extremely delicate, not even a trace of blood could be seen as the tattoo knife pierced his skin.
The other five hollow circles on his chest were not empty either, as ghostly faces seemed to emerge from time to time, some fierce, some sad and sorrowful, some compassionate, some angrily glaring, others cold, each circle unique.
Before him were placed a gourd, a triangular flag, a small knife, several silver needles, and a basin of foul-smelling unknown liquid.
Though the room was sealed, it was brightly lit, the large mirrors clearly reflecting the big man.
The big man was using these mirrors to tattoo his chest.
