"Can you teach me how to fight?" The weak boy placed the bowl of noodles before Han Fei. He even brought Han Fei a sausage and a bottle of drink. "This meal is on me."
"I don't have the habit of being treated by a high school student." Han Fei was really hungry. He wolfed down the noodles.
"Thank you for helping me today." The boy sat down next to Han Fei. The two looked out at the street through the window.
"If you really want to thank me, then you should hurry back to school. Even though studying can't guarantee you a bright future, it can give you more choices and opportunities. " Han Fei continued to munch on the noodles but his voice was warm. "You're still young, the future is filled with possibilities. If you don't like this city, you can always go to another university. You can leave this place to start a new life and make new friends. "
"University requires money. I want to find a job as soon as possible. I don't want to trouble the people around me. My uncle's family hates me to begin with …" The boy looked at the empty street outside the convenience store and pursed his lips.
"With your situation, you can apply for a student loan. The country will help you with your schooling but you have to work hard."
"With my situation?" The boy was confused.
Han Fei did not say anything else. He finished the noodles and went to the counter to scan his ID. "This is my contact. If those bastards dare to bully you again, call me directly."
Before he left, Han Fei turned back to ask the boy, "Qu Wenhou, if you can see your mother again, is there anything you want to say to her?"
Hearing that, the boy was startled. Then he slowly lowered his head. "If I can see her again, I will definitely apologize to her and tell her that I will protect her no matter what. I will not allow her to be bullied again."
When he raised his head again, Han Fei had already disappeared from the convenience store. Night had fallen. Outside the window was the deserted old street.
The neon lights lengthened Han Fei's shadow. He stood across the street and glanced at the boy inside the convenience store. Then he shoved his hands into his pockets and disappeared into the night.
After returning home, Han Fei called Huang Yin. He had met Huang Yin at the gaming convention before and they exchanged contact details.
When Huang Yin received Han Fei's call, he was overjoyed. He even said that he had seen Han Fei on the news. At the time, he was so shocked that he told everyone at the hospital that Han Fei was his friend.
From his tone, Huang Yin sounded normal. However, for the sake of safety, Han Fei arranged a time to meet the man offline.
After hanging up, Han Fei practiced the moves that Li Xue taught him. He really thought the moves were useful. 'Now that I've mastered the basic fighting techniques, I should go find Li Xue tomorrow to learn something new.'
After a shower, Han Fei sat by the table and started to study. He put on the gaming helmet at midnight.
The boundless color of blood occupied everything, and his consciousness kept falling.
Opening his eyes, Han Fei looked at the familiar living room. 'The missions at Apartment 1 have basically been completed. I need to contact the tenants at Apartment 2 as soon as possible.'
He was about to get up when he heard a noise coming from the kitchen.
'At this time, my roommates should still be in their bedrooms.' Picking up the knife from the table, Han Fei silently pushed open the kitchen door.
Wei Youfu, whose body was almost transparent, stood next to Little Eight. Wei Youfu appeared to be teaching Little Eight how to cook.
When he saw Han Fei, Wei Youfu turned to smile at Han Fei. "I'm telling Little Eight about the past."
"Oh." Han Fei was startled before he reacted. "You can speak now? You've regained some of your humanity! "
"It's all thanks to your help that I've regained some of my humanity." Wei Youfu coughed several times. "The 8 of us can merge our bodies together. The memory of death and pain can bring us power but at the same time, it can bring us uncontrollable despair. I've shared my power with the others and that's how I managed to maintain my sanity. "
"That was not easy." Han Fei looked at Wei Youfu and walked over. Using Soul-Depth Touch, he gave Wei Youfu a hug. "Brother, I've avenged all of you. Your murderers have been brought to justice. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to bring all of you out of this cage. I'll show you how the bad guys are punished!"
"You've done so much for us. To be honest, we've already treated you as family. No matter what the ending is, we'll be by your side until the very end." Wei Youfu rubbed Little Eight's head. "For so many years, all the tenants treated 1044 as a haunted house. They said monsters live here, but you're the only exception. We gave you a chance to escape in the beginning, but who knew that you would come back again and again, giving us hope instead. "
Wei Youfu was in a unique state. He was very weak. He looked like a sickly man who could collapse at any moment. Even Meng Si, a 70 plus year old lady, was much stronger than him.
However, he sacrificed all of his power to regain his sanity. He became the only one among the 8 victims who could communicate with Han Fei.
"Youfu, do you have any other missions?" Han Fei wanted to complete the missions from his roommates.
"Missions?"
"Things that you want me to do."
"No, we've found our lost souls. Now we only need to learn how to control despair and pain. Then we'll be able to return to our real selves."
"Then do you have a long-term goal in mind?"
"We've never considered the future but if there's anything …" Wei Youfu turned to Little Eight. "We hope that this child will be able to experience the beauty of the human world. She was raised by a crazed murderer, her death was predetermined from the moment she was born. You should've seen the black forest cartoon on TV, that's Little Eight's memory. "
"Perhaps I can bring her to that world in the future to show her that there are still many beautiful things in the human world." Han Fei turned to Little Eight. The girl hid behind Wei Youfu. She had always been afraid of Han Fei.
"What about you? What do you plan to do next? "
"I've become the new building manager of Apartment 1. I plan to go to Apartment 2 later. I want to help them kill all the non-locals and then have a good chat with them." Han Fei did not hide anything from Wei Youfu because Wei Youfu really did feel like family to Han Fei.
"Apartment 2 is very dangerous, why don't I go with you?" Wei Youfu coughed several times. He gave off the impression that he could be blown away by a gust of wind.
"Nah, I think it'll be more dangerous if I go with you."
Han Fei rejected him decisively. Wei Youfu shook his head with a bitter smile. "You've misunderstood. The 8 of us victims can merge into one. When everyone's hatred and pain is focused on Little Eight, she will become the scariest ghost in this building."
"Her?" Han Fei also knew that Little Eight was very special, but this girl looked so weak.
"It'll be very scary when all the pain and despair is concentrated on one person. It'll have a negative impact on Little Eight. But you've helped us so much, now it's our turn to help you."
After Wei Youfu said that, the innermost bedroom door was pushed open and the victims walked out one by one.
