Everyone on the street knew what the song represented. No one dared to get close to the shop that was damaged by the song. This temporarily relieved Han Fei of the worry of being attacked.
Hiding under the counter, Han Fei glanced back at the Happiness Neighbourhood. The rusted iron gate was tightly shut. The neighbourhood was eerily quiet like there was no one there.
The black cloth on the altar next to the residential area was torn off. The bowl that Han Fei had taken away earlier had been returned to its original spot.
'The altar appears to be guarding the neighbourhood. Earlier, Youfu said Little Eight could not leave the Happiness Neighbourhood. Could it be because the place is protected by the altar that the things outside can't reach into the neighbourhood?'
The dilapidated shrine looked very ordinary, and it did not emit any Yin Qi, but it gave people a sense of security.
'I've killed the person cursed by the unknown monster, it might appear again. I can't stay here for too long, I need to return to the neighbourhood as soon as possible.'
Han Fei was unable to quit the game so he had to be careful. If he was captured by a scapegoat or some other ghost, his soul and consciousness might be imprisoned and he would never be able to leave the game again.
When his Life Points recovered to 10, Han Fei crawled up from the ground. He planned to return to the neighbourhood but when he lifted his head, he saw a human face staring at him from the window.
'It's an old man who burns pictures!'
The wrinkled face poked into the window. The venom in his eyes was obvious. "Don't hide here, this place is very dangerous. The person you've killed has been cursed by it, it'll be here soon."
The old man spoke like he was concerned about Han Fei but Han Fei knew the old man was not that kind. He ignored the old man and tried to figure out a way to escape.
"Why don't you come to my house for now? My house is nearby, it's just a short walk. " The old man invited Han Fei passionately. The wrinkles on his face were shaking. As he said that, he reached his hand into the window. "It'll be here soon. Come with me, I'll find a safe place for you to hide."
The old man had his eyes on Han Fei, he was not going to let him go so easily.
Han Fei knew it was going to be difficult to escape from the old man. His fingers reached into his pocket and touched the knife given by Xu Qin.
"My level is still too low. If I can completely resist the curse on the table knife, I'll have the confidence to fight the enemy."
His eyes were glued to the old man's hand. Just as the old man's hand was about to touch him, Han Fei kicked the door open and ran out.
Han Fei wanted to run across the road but once he stepped out, he saw 2 children holding hands sitting on the curb. When they heard his footsteps, they both turned to look at him.
The child's face didn't have the tenderness it should have, only a strange smile was left.
"Pa!"
In that split second, a flower pot filled with insect carcasses and dirt landed before him. If he did not stop moving, the pot would have landed on his head.
Han Fei glanced up and saw a fat woman hugging a flower pot on the 3rd floor of the building next door. She looked at him with a wicked smile.
He loosened his hands and another flowerpot was thrown at him.
Han Fei dodged it but the old man and the children caught up to him. Han Fei had no choice but to run forward but the distance between him and the children was closing.
Without the human blood to stop them, the two children revealed their scary side. Their bodies started to bleed and slowly morphed into their dead bodies.
"Big brother, big brother …"
Bloody footprints appeared. Han Fei knew he was about to be caught. He steeled his heart and hid inside the convenience store. He slammed the door shut.
The situation was dire, there was no room for hesitation.
When the children and the old man saw Han Fei enter the convenience store, they had a strange expression on their faces. It was as if after Han Fei entered the store, everything that belonged to Han Fei would belong to someone else and they had lost the desire to take it from him.
Han Fei, who was quite familiar with microexpressions, felt uneasy but he was not too afraid.
The system had given him a mission related to the convenience store. No matter what, he would come to this place, the only difference was when he would arrive.
Leaning against the door, Han Fei turned around to look around.
This was a normal convenience store. The racks were filled with snacks, daily necessities and drinks. There were even some secondhand appliances inside the store.
Although it was called a convenience store, it was different from Han Fei's impression of a convenience store. This place was more like a supermarket.
Hiding the table knife in his pocket, Han Fei stood at the door. With the thought of buying as much time as possible, he carefully studied the interior of the convenience store.
The clock on the wall ticked noisily. At the corner of the store, Han Fei could hear a person whispering. He kept repeating the same words like he was possessed.
Han Fei did not approach the man recklessly. He stood silently at the door.
After the old man and children left, Han Fei grabbed the doorknob. He wanted to open the door and escape back to the residential area. But then he realized the door that should have been easy to open was now locked.
"What … do you want to buy?"
A sobbing voice suddenly came from behind Han Fei. It startled Han Fei so much that he whipped around.
He saw a young man in a convenience store uniform standing behind him. The young man was all skin and bones. His lips were shriveled and he was blind in one eye.
"What do you want to buy?"
"What do you sell here?" The convenience store's door could not be opened. Han Fei could not leave so he tried to converse with the worker to see if he could get any useful information out of him.
"What do you want to buy?" The worker's remaining eye slowly bulged out of its socket. That was the only thing he knew how to repeat.
Han Fei turned to look at the shelves. The convenience store had many items but none of them had a price tag.
In other words, the buyer had no idea what kind of price they would have to pay to buy something.
"Looks like the things here are not that easy to take away." Han Fei lifted his head. The worker's face was almost right before his face.
"What do you want to buy?" The worker's face was inches away from Han Fei's. The man's thin body creaked strangely. He was almost right before Han Fei's face.
"I'm not here to buy anything." Han Fei could feel the chill from the worker. He took a step back. "Would you believe me if I told you I'm here to apply for a job?"
Opening the mission interface, Han Fei chose to accept another main mission.
"Notification for Player 0000! You've accepted Grade G Main Mission: Convenience Store Worker!
"Mission Requirement: This convenience store is hiding a secret. You need to become a temporary night worker and survive for one night.
