Painted Skin Page #2

Anyway,

I'll tell you more about us later.

It's good as long as you're happy.

Have a rest.

The dead bodies whose hearts...

are removed are all here.

Brother Sheng has run out of ideas,

so our Wang's Squadron...

can only patrol every night.

Wang's Squadron?

You've left for so long.

Should we still call it "Pang's Squadron"?

Wow!

This man is a real pro!

So accurate that...

he dug out the heart in a single cut!

So I told Brother Sheng

this couldn't be done by a human.

You really believe in demons?

If I were a yin yang master,

I surely did...

A demon! A demon here!

Look at yourself. You believe in any crap!

What do you not believe? Yin yang master!

Also, I suspect one person.

The woman Brother Sheng brought here -

Xiaowei.

Don't you love her?

Not for sure!

You suspect her?

The killing spree began once she arrived.

I really feel the evil "qi" from her!

- With suspicious background...

- Alright...

Enough! You can set up a booth out there

and fool the guys!

Get off! You feel good staying in a coffin?

Get off!

What he say is correct!

All done by evil demons!

I too think evil demons did these.

Don't listen to her foolish talk!

It's all nonsense!

What foolish talk? I've seen before!

There're many demons in this world.

Some are transformed from flowers,

grasses and trees...

some from tigers, wolves, snakes, foxes...

and some from love and hatred...

- Some are good, some are bad...

- Don't kid me!

Demons kill with a sword?

Why do humans kill humans for their hearts?

What's your name? You seem very sure.

My name is Xia Bing.

I'm a "Demon Buster".

My name is Pang Yong.

I don't believe in demons.

This sealed part of fox tail...

will direct us to the

"Beautiful Fox from the Sky".

Once it senses a fox

spirit in the vicinity,

it glares.

This is what brought me here.

I'm sure the demon is still in this city.

Can you sense where the demon is?

Within a ten-mile radius of here.

The entire city

is only some ten miles long.

I've made a box for you.

Put the hearts inside

and they'll be kept fresh.

Just put it there.

Brother Sheng asked me to draw

the "heart-digger".

I must do it well.

Remember that old fella surnamed Xia

who chopped you?

Isn't he dead?

His granddaughter is here in town.

Damn it! Their family never let me go.

Shall I kill her for you?

Yes.

Such a big range!

This is the last place!

I've spent all my money on the case.

The Taoist priest died right here!

Also,

all the murders occurred

on the east side of the city.

Look.

Not only that.

They all surrounded commander's house!

Exactly!

So what do we do next?

Nothing to do with you.

Miss, this is the official matter.

I think you needn't ask.

He doesn't work for the government, either!

Nothing to do with you as well.

Hey, where're you going?

Nothing to do with you!

Hey...

I've used up my money!

Are you okay?

You're that demon?

Don't fool around!

You wanna run?

You go over there.

Leave me alone! Get him!

Waiter! Waiter!

Stop shouting. It's new year's day.

Everybody's gone.

Do you come to drink or heal me?

Don't panic. Just a small wound.

What're you doing?

Why didn't you tell me you'd blow?

I had wine in my mouth.

I couldn't tell you.

Have you seen enough?

Don't move.

What?

What... you...

Softly... softly...

Be quiet.

It's done by a sword!

Can a demon use a sword?

Who say they can't?

Softly, softy...

How do you deal with them?

Ordinary demons can be finished by

a single slash.

What if they're not ordinary?

This is this "Demon Rod".

My grandpa told me that...

its power is beyond limit...

when it meets a capable person.

That person is surely not you!

I can't take it out.

Not me, either.

I think your grandpa also couldn't.

Sure! How do you know?

You don't believe my words?

Yes, yes. I dare not disbelieve!

Don't get caught.

I must've killed the gal...

if it weren't for that drunk.

So she was really

helped from her old lover.

Where did you go?

I... I just helped in the study...

You go to the kitchen, then.

Yes!

Brother Yong, I've checked it.

There's a rich man called Gao Kun

in another city.

The whole family died of a plague

three years ago.

He doesn't have a daughter.

This woman's lying.

Peirong, where's Xiaowei?

In the beauty shop.

Brother Yong, what do you find her for?

She's not what she claims to be!

You've brought a demon home!

Demon?

Brother Yong,

you do believe a rumor like this?

I just want to find out the truth.

Truth. Fine.

I'll get you there and see the truth.

The Gao family has no daughter!

Who are you?

Xiahou Xiang is known to be wrong

all the time!

Has he misunderstood you?

That's right! Miss Xiaowei, just go ahead

tell us your difficulties!

Xiaowei, don't be scared.

Tell us everything!

I'm actually not the Gao family's daughter.

I'm only...

their maid.

But I love being with you...

and don't want you to look down upon me.

That's why I made up such that

stupid story.

Who else can verify what you said?

No.

We can!

We rescued her...

from the lair of the desert's bandits.

She'd have died if we it weren't for us!

- Yes! Yes...

- Sure! We rescued her...

Brother Wang,

I did tell lies.

But please don't banish me! Will you?

I don't want to be alone.

Get up.

With me here, nobody dare bully you.

I'll chop your hands off

and see if you're a demon!

Brother Yong!

What're you doing? Are you crazy?

I just tested her.

It's the back of the blade!

I don't care what tricks you played.

Xiaowei is my family!

Your family... so what about Peirong?

Peirong is your wife!

She's been worried about you every day!

Brother Yong.

You still care that Peirong had chosen me!

Bastard!

I'm not happy!

Coz Peirong has chosen the wrong one!

You cold-hearted thing!

They're already married.

I think you'd better give up.

Shut up!

Obsessed by that woman!

You've never seen a woman?

Pang Yong!

It's my private matter. It's none of yours!

I must care about the demon's case!

This is a section of tail

from a fox spirit.

Whenever a demon shows up, it glares.

It's always glaring. So we're all demons?

I'm a "Demon Buster".

Everything I said is real!

I don't believe it. Who does?

The ghosts do!

I do!

I saw it with my own eyes!

She knows black magic.

I hurt her hand by accident

and it healed up at once.

Later I told this to the Taoist priest.

He said you're a demon with high power.

On the very next day, he died...

I've been staying with you.

I know more than anyone else.

I have an idea!

There's a "mark" on each demon,

like human's birthmark.

Dare you let us examine you?

Miss Demon, are you scared?

Dare you?

I dare!

I do as long as you won't suspect me.

Satisfied?

Nothing to do with her.

They're all my ideas.

I still have one more idea.

Are you finished?

For a fox spirit to sustain

their human form,

they must swallow human hearts,

which is why there're so many deaths

with their hearts removed.

Are you finished?

- Sure...
