When the bamboo cover was opened, ablack aircame out.
Inside of the black air, there was the voice of resentment.
“Kill you…kill you…kill you…kill…kill…kill.”
The voice was short and not so clear, but I could hear each word in the black air.
I was sweatingcold sweat.In any case,this black air was the innocent soul.
I carefullypoured the black air into the plate for the dye.
The black also behaved strangely; it just jumped in without any trace as soon as it touched the dye plate.
I continued to pour, and began to feel a little relief as the bamboo cover became lighter… well, it was not so scary.
When it was near the end, I didn’t feel so afraid and became faster, pouring in the rest of it all at once.
But just when I poured-something happened.
I saw the dye jump suddenlywith a few soggy thumps, just like boiling water.
The dye was bubbling there.
I closed my eyes quickly andput my palms together devoutly ina pious prayer: “Bodhisattva please bless me;my master, bless me, please.I didn’t have any bad goals, I just wanted to earn money for my mother’s sickness, hoping that she would get rid of the illness soon…so let me live.What should my mother do if I died?”
I didn’t know whether it was the effect of my praying or if it had all been just an illusion,butafter about three or four minutes, the sound disappeared completely.
Then I rememberedmy master’s word: “Never provoke a Yin and Yang Tattoo”.
This Yin and Yang Tattoo was really bizarre, and a Yin Tattoo was even more severe than a Yang Tattoo…so strange.
I stood inside and lit a cigarette.Only after I finished it did I take the dye plate outside.
Miao Weiwei was naked there on the sofa.
“It’s finished”. I told her.
Miao Weiwei told me to be faster, she said she was going toa girlfriend’s party.
Miao Weiwei seemed to be veryworried. The girlfriend’s party was completely a party for those who were pretentious and ostentatious.
I sat on the edge of the couch and carefullypoured out the dye ontotheInvisible Connection pattern on Miao Weiwei’s back.
With the evil soul mixed in with the dye, it became verystrange.Itwas absorbed quickly when it touched the skin, without leaving any residue.
After seven or eight minutes, all of the dye was absorbed and the vivid Invisible Connectiontattoo was finished.
“What did you pour? …why do I feel so cool on my back?” Miao Weiwei asked me.
I told her: “Doyou know what Yin and Yang Tattooare? You arefeeding the Yin soul, and you could never compare anordinary tattoo to this one. Now that the tattoo isfinished, you just put on your clothes, pay, and go home.”
“Finished?”
“What do you think?” After experiencing the “evil soul dye” incident, I had more conviction aboutthe Yin and Yang Tattoo and became even more confident.
“Well…if it doesn’t work…I will smash your studio”. Miao Weiwei put on her bra, went in front of the mirror and looked back.
As a tattoo artist, I handled myself in a professional manner.I held up another mirror so that she could see the tattoo on her back through the mirrors’ mutual reflection.
She gave me a look andsaid in a cold voice: “It’s OK, you seemed to do it well…If it really has an effect, I willinform my classmate group.If it doesn’twork…I willsurely find someone to smash your studio.”
“If it has no effect, you can even smash me. I’ve no concern about this”. I raised my hand and said: “Madam, just pay me for the tattoo.”
“How much?”
“Twenty thousandYuan”. I replied.
“It’s not so much, but I really don’t know if it works or not.” She took out her phone and transferred twenty thousand Yuanto me.
With the money, I couldn’t restrain myself for joy. Now there wereanother twenty thousand Yuanfor my mother’s sickness. Her life was backing two steps from the cliff’s edge now.
If I worked harder, I might get all of the eight hundred thousand Yuanfor my mother’s kidney transplant in the near future.
I didn’t have too many customers, so Iturned to Liu the Sixthto buy a “common soul”, which would beused to color the pattern of the red lotus Yakshaon Mimi’s back.
During the coloring, Mimi asked me: “Did you know…this Yin and Yang Tattoo was really amazing.”
“What happened? Xiao Bai didn`t come to you, then?” I asked her.
Mini smiled with a grin: “Hey, it’s been a day and her ghost didn’t come to me yet.But more importantly…there was another function for thatYin and Yang Tattoo.”
“What’s that?” I asked Mimi.
