A crazy plan formed in Han Fei's mind. If this plan worked, he would be able to take over the convenience store but if anything went wrong, he would die a horrible death.
"Fame and fortune come from danger. You're right, I can't miss this chance."
Han Fei's eyes slowly narrowed to hide the dangerous glint in his pupils.
"For some reason, I have a feeling you're not thinking about the same thing as I am!" The human face on the wax was twisted. It just wanted to escape from the convenience store. "The paper doll is very dangerous. You only need to bring me away from here. We'll get as far away from here as possible. That's enough! Please don't get any unnecessary thoughts! "
"I'm just a temporary worker on my first day of work, what kind of unnecessary thoughts can I have?" Han Fei stared at the candle. "You've been here for a long time, you should know the woman's background, right? What kind of place is the Ziggurat that she and the boss are going to tonight? "
"The Ziggurat is the most dangerous building in this area. It's next to a hospital 2 blocks away. The woman in the wedding dress came from the Ziggurat, she used to be one of its tenants." The human face in the wax placed all its hope on Han Fei. It answered Han Fei honestly, "The meat that the woman found for the manager came from the 4th floor."
"The hospital 2 blocks away?" Han Fei thought back to the map in his mind. There was only one hospital around this area called Yi Ming Hospital. The previous manager had drawn a red cross at Yi Ming Hospital.
"You don't think the boss won't be able to rush back just because he's at a hospital 2 blocks away, do you?" The human face in the white wax sighed helplessly. "If the boss's physical body is threatened, moved, or touched, then its consciousness will use a special method to return to its physical body. It is very careful and will not allow its physical body to be in danger."
"Then is there a way to stop his consciousness from returning?"
"That will depend on the strength of his opponent. If his opponent can distract his consciousness so that he can't be distracted, then he'll be able to slow down his return. Another way is to make his consciousness go berserk. When he's in this state, his consciousness won't be able to sense his physical body so clearly. " The candle felt like talking to Han Fei was dangerous, it was like setting off fireworks in an armory. "If there's nothing else, let's go! I promise I can help you alleviate the pain caused by the curse! "
"The paper doll wasn't that strong in the beginning, right?" Han Fei confirmed with the candle.
"It's a cursed object with its own consciousness, most of its power is accumulated bit by bit."
"There are many souls sealed on the walls at the back alley. Why didn't the boss kill them all?"
"The resentment in the souls can increase its power and the last bit of humanity in them can make them stronger. The last bit of humanity inside the paper doll's soul can help." The white candle knew Han Fei would not help it if it did not explain, so it answered Han Fei patiently. "In other words, the boss' consciousness contains the humanity and consciousness of the countless Lingering Souls. The humanity and consciousness do not belong to it, they were forcibly taken away by it through a curse."
"To work here, you need to take a picture first and then pin the picture together with the paper doll. That's the process of casting a curse! Once the curse is complete, the paper doll can strip away your humanity at any time. "The candle advised earnestly," We need to leave while it's not wary of you! As long as we're far enough away from the cursed object, the curse will weaken, that's why the boss forbids his employees from leaving the shop! "
"Looks like I'm right. The boss' consciousness has merged with the humanity of all the employees. If I can gather all the employees to fight back, then I'll be able to influence the boss. Normally, this little bit of influence might not mean much to the store manager, but in a life or death battle, a little bit of distraction will cause it to reveal a fatal flaw. It might even cause its consciousness to go into a frenzy. " Han Fei's entire plan was to stop the boss from returning to its physical body, he needed to buy some time.
"I can't believe this is your first day here. The boss must be unlucky to have recruited you." The candle face was starting to get afraid of Han Fei.
"Let's not talk about useless things, I'm doing this to help everyone." Han Fei picked up the candlestick and walked to the coffin. "How am I supposed to tell whether the boss is injured or not through the paper doll?"
"When the boss unleashes his full power, the red paper doll will suck the blood from the dead bodies inside the coffins and black runes will appear on its body." The white candle had given up on struggling and decided to follow Han Fei to the end.
"Then I'll leave you here to watch over it." Han Fei placed the candlestick on the coffin lid and ran into the staff breakroom alone.
"Hey! Don't leave me here! "
"Are ghosts afraid of coffins?" Han Fei answered perfunctorily and then tore down all the pictures hanging on the wall of the staff breakroom.
He carried the pictures to the back alley. Looking at the lingering souls on the wall, he explained the situation inside the convenience store.
When the imprisoned convenience store workers found out that the store manager was not in the store, when they knew that the store manager might be seriously injured, some of them started to make a move.
"Dear seniors, these pictures are the contract that you've signed."
"If the boss really wanted to run this shop, I wouldn't have said a word. But now you've seen it for yourselves, it has cursed us, stripped us of our humanity and trapped us on the wall! "
"It has drained us of all our value and it still refuses to let us go!"
"It has given us an inch, it wants a mile. Everything that we have has become the bargaining chip that it uses to threaten us!"
"Are you really willing to endure this forever? Are you really willing to be tortured by it until your soul disappears? "
Han Fei's emotions grew stronger and stronger. His voice was sonorous and every word he uttered was filled with determination.
"We can't continue like this, we really can't. Tonight is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We have to make it pay the price! "
Han Fei gripped his fists with one hand and placed the other gently on the wall. "My power alone is limited but if we work together, we should be able to fight for a chance."
"Continue to be trapped inside the wall, suffer the torment and pain, or rise up like a moth to the fire, the choice is yours."
"I will not force you to choose, I will walk at the front of all of you. Even if I am alone, I will stand up for you tonight!"
Several seconds later, Han Fei suddenly felt his arms grow heavier. He turned around and saw many disappearing arms reaching out from the wall.
They could not leave the wall completely, reaching out was already their limit.
Seeing so many people supporting him, Han Fei was shocked. He did not expect the boss to have harmed so many ghosts before.
"I will not betray everyone's trust."
Standing in the back alley, Han Fei shared his plan.
He had already communicated with all the lingering souls left behind by the employees. With a single order from him, the insignificant lingering souls would use their last bit of energy to fight back against the paper doll.
After the discussion, Han Fei returned to the convenience store's storeroom.
He shoved the stick of pewter into his pocket and then moved all the containers against the wall to clear a path.
"What are you doing?"
"Is this coffin heavy? It looks much smaller than a normal coffin. "Han Fei started to move his arms.
"Why are you asking this? Friend, what are you planning to do?! "
'The more powerful the cursed item, the stronger the curse it will emit. If I touch it directly, I might be affected.' Han Fei took in a deep breath. He walked out from the storeroom and pushed the racks aside.
After everything was ready, Han Fei stood next to the coffin and stared at the paper doll.
Time ticked by. Han Fei's forehead was covered in sweat. At 3 am, the paper doll inside the coffin started to crack. It started to crazily absorb the blood from the dead bodies inside the coffin!
As the blood flowed into the doll, black human names started to appear on its body!
"Now!" Han Fei kicked open the door to the trash disposal room and yelled into the back alley.
The badly damaged souls let out roars and screams.
The whole street could hear the screams of the dead!
The paper doll inside the coffin was accumulating power at a critical moment when it suddenly seemed to lose control. The cracks on its body increased, and the smile on its face disappeared completely. It became strangely ferocious.
"It's time!"
Han Fei closed the coffin lid and picked up the coffin with all his might.
His spine creaked under the weight. Han Fei's expression was twisted. Carrying the coffin with the paper doll inside, he raced out of the convenience store!
"Get out of my way!"
He crashed through the glass door of the convenience store. The bells rang. Han Fei did not stop. Under the shocked gaze of the ghosts, he carried the coffin and ran across the street!
No lingering spirit dared to stop such a madman! They had never seen such a thing before!
"Bang!"
The steel gate of Happiness Neighbourhood was slammed open. Han Fei carried the coffin and raced towards Apartment 1!
