    "My lord," a voice suddenly came from all directions, "the best skin is to be peeled off alive..." Before the words were finished, Qiu Wuyai suddenly felt a sharp pain in his cheek—a silver needle had somehow pierced his face, the red thread at the end being gently pulled by an unseen hand... Qiu Wuyai felt the excruciating pain of his skin being torn apart, blood dripping down the silver needle, blooming into eerie blood flowers on the blue brick floor. He endured the pain and grabbed the red thread, and copper scissors flew in, severing the thread with a "snap." A heart-wrenching scream immediately came from the mirror, and the windows of the entire embroidered building trembled violently. Suddenly, floating human skins rushed in simultaneously, each skin displaying his agonizingly contorted face. Qiu Wuyai grabbed some cinnabar and scattered it around; the human skins that touched the cinnabar immediately ignited, turning into countless moths fluttering in the sky. The firelight illuminated a dusty embroidery frame in the corner, upon which stretched an unfinished human skin—its features were identical to his, except for a strange smile sewn into the corner of its mouth by red thread. "A hundred years..." The voice in the mirror suddenly turned mournful, "You are the first person to reach this place..." Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the bronze mirror, and the outline of a woman in red gradually became clear. She stretched out her decaying hands and pressed them against the mirror, each finger connected to a thin red thread, the other end of which was piercing into Qiu Wuyai's limbs. "Stay with me..." The woman wept pitifully.
