Features: Medusa (MEDUSA), the Gorgon in Greek mythology. A fatal temptation, extreme perfection. Anyone who looks into her eyes will turn to stone. Medusa said, "Those who have loved me will have their hearts turn to stone." I said, "I haven't loved anyone yet, but my heart is already stone, because I have been baptized by your words."
In The Human Skin Embroidered Screen, those five delicate fingers tightly gripped Xiuxiu's hand, cold, and a sharp pain spread from Xiuxiu's hand. Xiuxiu tried to pull away, but the harder she struggled, the tighter the fingers became. In the blink of an eye, the colorful gold Buddha bracelet on Xiuxiu's wrist suddenly emitted streams of golden light, and the five fingers gripping her hand loosened. Xiuxiu saw the woman in the leaping pose suddenly fly out.
In A Thousand Illusions of Love, my hand trembled, and my long hair fell onto her face again. A gasp was stuck in my throat, and I backed away in terror, unable to believe my own eyes! The girl lying in bed had the face of myself!
In Two Drops of Blood, blood flowed through my body, some scorching hot, some icy cold; my eyes were half red, half blue. The left eye was like blazing fire, while the right eye was like a thousand-year-old ice. On my tongue, one side whispered soft words, while the other spat out bloodless, lethal blades.
