The bald woman had a lot of strength, she had come down from a nunnery, and Markus seriously doubted that she practiced martial arts, because he, a big man, was almost powerless to fight back in front of the bald woman.
"How did you ... you know I had that little girl's comb?" Markus asked as she struggled, but the bald woman had such strong hands that she was tugging on her as if she were a chicken.
"Give me the comb, come on, I've been looking for it for a long time, there's no use for you to keep it, you're a dead man." Instead of answering Markus' words, the bald woman kept urging Markus to hand over the comb.
Markus was furious when he heard that the bald woman cursed him to death, he pushed the bald woman away with all the strength he could muster as if he were fighting for his life.
"Damn you, you're the one who's dead, don't think you can talk nonsense just because you're sick." Markus cursed angrily.
"I didn't lie to you, you used the dead man's comb, sooner or later you're going to die too, give me the little girl's comb." The bald woman said and lunged again.
Markus hastily dodged to avoid it, but this bald woman was very good at it, a lotus step spun around and came back to Markus, she choked Markus with her hand, making Markus feel suffocated.
"I don't have time to mess with you, give me the comb." The bald woman threatened, her hand gradually increasing in strength, and if Markus didn't give it, she feared her life was in danger.
Markus is a little scared of her, this woman is mentally ill, she doesn't even have to pay for killing people, she doesn't have to throw her life away for a hairbrush.
"Here!" Markus pulled the little girl's comb out of his pocket and threw it to the ground.
The bald woman was delighted and immediately let go of Markus before getting down to pick it up.
"Hey, hey, I found it, comb, I found it, master, we're saved, I'll go back to save you now." The bald woman was overjoyed, smiling like a dove, extremely weird, this mental illness, really doesn't look like a normal person.
"chi, wouldn't you be a dead man's comb with this one, I know, that little girl is a ghost too." Markus said rubbing his neck.
The bald woman looks back at Markus and says that there are two kinds of dead man's combs, one is the comb of the stern ghosts and the other is the comb of the good ghosts, and the one she has in her hand is the dead man's comb of the good ghosts.
Markus was just about to ask her how both combs produced results when she combed her hair.
But in the blink of an eye, the bald woman was gone, and he was left alone on the entire rooftop.
Markus looked at the time, it was already after one in the morning, now the rooftop was dark and spooky as hell, he always felt that something was staring at him, remembering Brzenska's ghostly appearance, he was so scared that he hurried down the rooftop, then went home to cover himself with the blankets and sleep.
But strangely enough, he tossed and turned and could never sleep, his scalp itched and he always wanted to go comb his hair, and then he couldn't help it, so he got up and combed his hair with a normal comb a couple of times, but he still couldn't stop the itching.
Markus remembered Brzenska's comb at this point, and as creepy as that comb was, his scalp was now so itchy he couldn't stand it, he put his mind to it and used Brzenska's one again.
That's when an icy cold breath passed through the scalp and immediately stopped the itching.
Markus breathed a sigh of relief and put the comb back in place, when he suddenly heard someone laughing and he immediately yelled out Who?
No one answered, Markus searched the whole room and there was no one else, as if the laughter just now was a hallucination, Markus had to scratch his head strangely and go to sleep.
Originally Markus was going to burn the comb Brzenska gave him, but strangely enough, Markus now has frequent daily head itches and must use the comb Brzenska gave him to stop the itching, at first three times a day, then six, then ten times a day.
Markus, who was already balding, had even less hair after using this comb from Brzenska, and even more horrifyingly, his health was weakening and his face was getting paler by the day.
Markus feels like things are getting more and more out of place, from meeting the bald woman, to seeing ghosts, to Brzenska delivering combs, to getting weaker the more he combs his own hair, things get weirder and scarier by the minute.
Markus remembers the bald woman's remark again, when she said that Markus was not far from death if he used a dead man's comb.
The way things were going, Markus had a feeling that the bald woman's words might be true.
Thinking again and again, Markus rushed to find MASTER to save his life, but after seeing several Taoist masters, Monk had no effect, just when Markus was in despair, he met a fortune-telling blind man on the street.
This blind man didn't want any money, and he didn't tell his fortune, he just talked to him.
The blind man said that the dead man's comb that Markus used was able to comb away Markus's yang energy, and that's why Markus's body gradually weakened and his face became paler and paler.
If it goes on long enough, Markus will surely die and will have to seek out the Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts if he wants to live.
After saying that, the blind man gave Markus an address, which is my tattoo parlor, Markus saw that the blind man was a bit of a god, and didn't dare to doubt it, so he came.
Blind? Could it be Webster?
I described what Webster looked like and then asked Markus if that was the case.
Markus nods sharply and says it's him!
This Webster is so righteous, he actually introduces business to me, next time I have to invite him and Raul Master to have tea together, these two old guys have real skills, I have to flatter them, with them taking care of me, I have two big backers in Vervecity.
As for the Markus thing, I think there's still quite a bit of doubt.
First, why is he bald?
Secondly, why is everyone coming after him? The bald woman asked him where the comb was for no reason, and Brzenska came to harm him after she turned into a ghost. The little girl met him too. Is it really such a coincidence?
Third, why could he see the ghost? Of all the people in the supermarket, he was the only one who saw the ghost, why couldn't the others see it?
Fourthly, that bald woman doesn't seem to be an ordinary psychopath, she seems to have some kind of story about her, and what is she so desperately looking for the comb for?
I asked Markus if he had done something wrong before, or else why the ghosts were looking for him. You have to be honest, it's your life that's at stake, or I can't even save you if there's a single false statement.
Whoever has done something wrong would just say so, and I'm sure I'd have to scare the shit out of him, otherwise where's the truth.
Markus quickly shook his head like a rattle, saying that he hadn't done anything bad since he was a kid and he could swear to it!
That's weird, is Markus some kind of special yin-yang body, Four - Pillars of Destiny invites ghosts? Or, has yin-yang eyes and can see ghosts?
Markus still shook his head and said that he didn't know now, that it hadn't even been a thing before, that he had never seen a ghost.
That should not be, generally Four - Pillars of Destiny recruit ghosts, are born, and yin and yang eyes divided into born after birth, born yin and yang eyes, can see ghosts since childhood, acquired have to happen a relatively big change.
For example, I heard an incident before about a woman whose whole family died in an accident and she was the only one left, and then she cried so hard that her eyes bled and two lines of bloody foam flowed from the corners of her eyes.
After her eyes got better, she often saw her dead family members appearing in her house, and gradually, she could see other ghosts. Later, she found a master to look at her, and realized that her yin and yang eyes were open, and then the master closed her yin and yang eyes again, and only then did she return to her normal life.
Innate yin and yang eyes can't be closed, but acquired ones can.
Nothing has happened to Markus here, bald at best, and that has nothing to do with eyes, so naturally he can't open the yin-yang eyes.
That's strange. You're a normal person. How did this happen to you? Brzenska has nothing against you. Why would he hurt you?
Markus said he didn't know either, and he couldn't figure it out, so maybe he was unlucky?
You can't explain everything with bad luck, there must be a reason for it.
I asked Stein what he thought. Is this dead man's comb claim really true?
Stein nodded and said that the dead man's comb did say something.
The comb that the dead have combed their hair with, the living can't comb it, otherwise it will comb away the yang energy, Markus's one may be even more fierce, it's the comb of a stern ghost, it has ghostly resentment on it, after combing it once, you can't stop, you can only keep combing it until you die.
What the hell, is that so evil? Can we throw the comb away or burn it?
Markus immediately got agitated and said that wouldn't do, that he couldn't go a day without that comb now without his scalp killing him, and that he couldn't live without it anymore.
Stein said look, after combing it once, that's hard to save, to put it bluntly, it's just waiting to die.
