Captain Si was worried that Han Fei would be tricked by Ming Mei's appearance so he revealed all the crimes that the girl had committed.
After hearing that, Han Fei was shocked. "Such a sweet-looking child has done so many horrible things in her life? She was only 6 or 7 at the time of the crime, right? "
"Never underestimate a person's wickedness. The girl suffered from brain disease because she did something very scary when she was young. That's why she kept seeing the girl that she killed in her dreams." Captain Si said sternly, "We do need to follow the basic principle of humanitarianism towards criminals but we cannot sympathize with them. If we sympathize with them, we'll be harming the victims a second time."
"Understood, how long will the girl be sentenced for?" Han Fei asked a question that he was more concerned about.
"The girl is still young and she suffers from mental illness. To give her the punishment she deserves, we'll have to make her confess to the crime first."
"Looks like we'll have to treat her as soon as possible." Han Fei turned to the doctor, "Is the helmet you're using useful? If I remember correctly, Deep Space Tech specializes in games and communication. "
"Deep Space Tech is one of the world's best when it comes to brain exploration. You must have heard of their game, Perfect Life, right?"
"Of course, that's a national game, it's advertised everywhere."
"This helmet is connected to Perfect Life's central computer, it is the newest device introduced into our hospital. Using the processing power of the central computer, it can capture and display the complicated and sickly world inside the patient's mind in less than a second. Through this device, we can pinpoint the source of the patient's fear and then apply the right medicine to cure it."
'In other words, this Healing Helmet and Perfect Life use the same server?' Han Fei did not understand these things so he was confused.
"There is no problem with the server. Currently, all the products released by Deep Space Tech revolve around the 8th generation supercomputer that they're testing. This is their company's core power. If you want to use their latest product, you'll have to connect to the 8th generation supercomputer, I suppose that's a kind of monopoly. "The doctor explained patiently.
"Aren't you an expert in psychology? How come you know so much about Deep Space Tech? " Han Fei's mind spun quickly. He had been through many things, he had to be careful. After all, some coincidences could be fatal.
"Times are changing, and technology can help us better understand ourselves. Embracing technology is the right thing to do in any industry. "
"Great minds think alike. Doctor, may I know your name?" Han Fei remembered that Li Xue's teacher once reminded him to be careful of his occupation as a doctor and a teacher.
"My surname is Hu. My name is Hu Wei."
It was already eleven o 'clock at night when he returned home.
He ate some food, connected all the wires, and put on the gaming helmet.
The color of blood descended and enveloped everything. The world in Han Fei's eyes changed …
Just as the notification disappeared, Han Fei's body was dragged to the ground.
He opened his eyes and felt a chill on his face.
When he looked down, he found that his mouth was covered by a pair of pale palms.
Goosebumps rose on the back of his neck. Han Fei slowly turned his neck and realized Wei Youfu was standing behind him.
With confusion in his eyes, Han Fei pointed at the closed door. What he was trying to say was, 'Is there something wandering outside the door?'
Wei Youfu did not seem to understand what Han Fei was trying to say. He slowly let go of Han Fei. He signaled for Han Fei to keep quiet.
Not only Room 1044, the whole of Happiness Neighbourhood was eerily quiet, there was no sound at all.
After a whole 10 minutes, Wei Youfu slowly stood up. He looked out through the gap in the window.
A woman's singing echoed in the silent Happiness Neighbourhood. The strange nursery rhyme carried with it a strange melody. It appeared to be approaching Block 1!
When he heard the song, Han Fei's anxiety reached its peak. He silently put the landlord's ring back into his inventory and crawled under the window.
Han Fei once heard the song at the convenience store. If not for the fact that he could log out of the game, he would have died already.
It was because he had been in close contact with the song that he understood how scary it was.
"How did the unspeakable thing get into the Happiness Neighbourhood?"
The song came closer and closer. At one point, it even lingered around the window. This was the 4th floor.
Han Fei instinctively covered his mouth. He sat down next to Wei Youfu. He tried to make eye contact with Wei Youfu but Wei Youfu only shook his head. He did not dare make any unnecessary movements.
The song did not stop. The scariest thing was, 10 minutes later, the song appeared in the corridor of Block 1.
The voice-activated lights lit up one by one. Han Fei's heart squeezed.
"Bang!"
One of the doors on the 2nd floor was pushed open. Then came the sound of doors opening!
Floor by floor, the song soon arrived at the 4th floor!
Bang! Bang!
The doors to Room 1041 and 1042 were pushed open. The door slammed heavily against the wall. Then the song moved on to the next floor.
When the door to Room 1041 opened, Han Fei held his breath. He covered his mouth and nose to prevent himself from making a sound.
The sound of doors opening came from inside the building. Other than this and the song, there was no other sound. The whole world was so quiet that it felt like it was suffocating.
The song soon came down from the top floor. When it passed the 4th floor, the door to Room 1043 was pushed open as well.
So close!
The singing gradually weakened, until it finally disappeared and could not be heard at all.
Collapsing to the ground, Han Fei realized his clothes were soaked in cold sweat. It was as if he had just been fished out of a pool.
Wei Youfu patted Han Fei lightly. He took out the pen and paper that he had prepared earlier. He wrote down a message and passed it to Han Fei — 'Don't speak for now. Be careful.'
Wei Youfu did not add a subject to the message but Han Fei already knew what the man was trying to convey. He nodded.
Another half an hour later, the song completely disappeared. Strange noises echoed down the street. Wei Youfu crawled up from the ground.
He placed his hand on his chest and said softly, "It's fine now, you can come out now."
Just as he said that, a pair of arms reached out from behind Wei Youfu. The human jigsaw victims appeared. They used their bodies to wrap Little Eight inside.
"We've escaped death this time. I wonder if we'll be this lucky next time." Wei Youfu's face was pale. He opened the front door. Other than Room 1044, the other 3 rooms on the 4th floor were all opened.
"That thing can wander into the residential area?" Han Fei asked after a long pause.
"This is the first time." Wei Youfu was confused as well. "When the previous manager was here, the song did appear outside the residential area but it never wandered into the residential area."
"The first time? How did I run into it? "Han Fei leaned against the wall and looked out the window." It feels like it's looking for something. "
"It's probably looking for Little Eight. The previous manager once said that the 8th victim is a key. With Little Eight, there's a chance to leave this place."
