Chapter 882: Wax Oil

"Not bad, not bad..."

The so-called fun of a wax museum lies in the fact that you never know what person or object is made of wax.

It could be a chair, a plate of fruit, or even a cat, a dog, a living person... all wax figures!

If there were another living person standing perfectly still, dressed up as a wax figure, that would be even more terrifying.

Aaron strolled around, admiring the wax art while searching for the source of inspiration in his heart.

The wax museum was large, and there were a few tourists inside.

It was just that the owner was nowhere to be found, and there was no sign of any staff.

Aaron's footsteps suddenly came to a halt.

A cluster of garbled code appeared, making Aaron almost think he had encountered a bug.

But the next moment, he was attracted by the wax oil bead in his hand.

Before his eyes, a translucent rectangular frame emerged, and a piece of information appeared automatically:

【Corpse Sealing Wax Oil】

This lollipop was something he had gone out to buy at a dessert shop; it wasn't cheap, costing one silver Jiao.

"Hmm, the boy's blood has a source... there's one right next to the Pomelo Tree Wax Museum, so, only a drop of innocent tears remains?"

Unexpectedly, Hawkins actually answered: "It was sent to me by someone, the work of an unknown artist, but this artist's skill is beyond doubt... As for the person who sent it, they said nothing, only that this was a wax figure of a famous Southern Martial Artist—Ding Hu."

"Trading a lollipop for tears, a fair deal, honest to young and old."

Looking at the wax oil bead that had become turbid inside after solidifying, Aaron felt a sudden chill: 'Could it be... this Ding Hu can still perceive the outside world? This is a torture even more terrifying than death...'

The final scene was of this person having already turned into a real wax figure, placed inside this wax museum.

Judging by their martial arts, they had clearly already entered the Heavenly Rank!

The baby wearing a baby hat was startled, then immediately began to wail.

'This seems... not to be a wax figure... but a... Wax Human?!'

His first reaction was not anything else, but rather some joy: "Although my biggest Golden Finger has run off... it seems to have left a bit of a root... otherwise there wouldn't be this psychic sensing..."

【Eliminating pollution...】

The next moment, blurry images seemed to flash before his eyes.

This father almost wanted to roll up his sleeves and hit someone, but Aaron ran too fast, and he failed to catch him, leaving him furious and hurriedly turning back to coax the child.

"Over Mountain Tiger?"

But just as he turned, Aaron saw the wax figure of Ding Hu seem to blink its eyes.

Aaron had quite an impression of this name; it was said to be a famous Fist Master from the South. He hadn't expected their first meeting to be in such a strange form.

He held the lollipop out to the child's mouth, saw the longing look in the other's little eyes, then suddenly pulled it back and stuffed it into his own mouth: "I won't give it to you..."

After another period of waiting, new information emerged:

Aaron rubbed his chin: "But fortunately, some functions remain. It cannot completely exempt the pollution, but it can pay a partial price, then replace the original pollution?"

In the scene, this person obtained another piece of Weird yellow wax paper, with some text and portraits vaguely visible on it.

Hmm, the Jianghu martial arts world divides martial arts into Seven Stages, with the upper four stages bearing the character 'Heaven' being called 'Heavenly Rank', implying something extraordinary, high and above.

【Modifying...】

Aaron's hand touched it.

【Usage: Blend with two pomelo leaves, three drops of boy's blood, and one drop of innocent tears to refine into a one-time-use Talisman, allowing the user to briefly possess Strange Power with no side effects.】

He looked around and saw a couple holding a baby.

"My Golden Finger, it really did run off... Is it missing the core component—【Scarlet Creator】?"

【Missing core component, cannot completely eliminate the price!】

Aaron, however, acted as if he didn't see, taking out the lollipop to tease the child: "Haha... do you want it?"

"This gentleman, do you like this wax figure very much?" Just then, someone walked over from the side.

A moment later, he brought a round lollipop and came to the couple's side: "You two... what a cute child."

It was a lifelike, life-sized wax figure that looked like a Martial Artist, with arm muscles bulging high, and a distinct face wearing an expression of terror, mouth wide open, not knowing what they were shouting.

【Modification complete!】

"Waaah!"

He politely thanked Hawkins and prepared to turn and leave.

Even the fourth stage, the Heavenly Power Realm, is enough to be called a first-class expert.

This person obtained it like a treasure and quickly followed along to practice...

Aaron came back to his senses and withdrew his palm.

But Aaron quickly skipped over these.

That fake foreigner introduced himself: "I am Hawkins... the owner of this wax museum. Most of the wax figures here are my own work, only a very few are purchased from outside... like this one."

In a trance.

"Hello, may I ask who you are..."

Aaron asked with some curiosity.

"May I ask where it came from?"

'Children nowadays have Ghost Domain minds; it's not safe to get innocent tears from them, but a newborn baby without much ability to think yet—their tears must be innocent...'

In an exhibition hall, he saw the source of his inspiration.

Aaron walked out of the wax museum, looking Righteous Qi-inspiring.

A single tear flowed down from his eye socket, passed over his cheek, reached his chin, and finally fell into Aaron's palm.

【Changing...】

That was a scene of a martial arts expert, living a life of swift vengeance and gratitude.

"This is not a tear, this is... Corpse Sealing Wax Oil?"

Aaron closed his eyes, and a method of harmonization surfaced in his mind.

"You..."

Aaron smiled slightly.

"It is a pity that there is only a tiny root... Otherwise, with just this Wax Figure, I should have been able to fully divine the contents on that wax parchment..."

Aaron apologized hurriedly, stuffed another lollipop into the mother's hand, and took a tear from her as he did so.

He looked at the Corpse Sealing Wax Oil in his hand, feeling somewhat speechless: "But it is fine, I do not want to become a Wax Human, the kind that would melt and fester the moment it is under the Light..."

The male host wore a pair of round glasses and looked quite scholarly; although he was smiling, he also carried a hint of wariness.

【Usage: After swallowing, one may obtain incomplete information from the Wax Oil Corpse Scripture, but one will accept a large amount of corruption; the body will inevitably mutate and cannot see sunlight, otherwise the whole body will fester, melt, and die!】

"Sorry, sorry!"

"Did it change from a permanent item to a one-time use item?"

"Yes..."

The other party was wearing a white shirt and a black vest, but possessed mixed-race features, looking just like a fake foreigner.

Aaron rolled his eyes, and an idea came to him.

He then picked some pomelo leaves and found an inn, spending money to stay the night.

He unscrewed the kerosene Lamp, and under the Light, his fingernail flashed, slicing open his finger to drip three drops of his own fingertip blood into a white porcelain bowl.
