The robotic voice echoed in his mind but Han Fei did not pay any attention to it, his full attention was focused on the television.
The strange animation was still playing out. On the screen, the monster was still standing behind the sofa.
The small person had been dismembered. Blood stained the room. The monster did not seem to be relieved after the massacre, instead it appeared to be in even more pain.
Underneath the cracked skin, several human faces tore at each other. The trace of humanity that Wei Youfu and Ah Mei had regained was about to disappear again.
Han Fei had no idea what would happen next but he knew very well that he was not dragged away by the monster earlier because Wei Youfu and Ah Mei had distracted the monster.
If the two faces that represented Wei Youfu and Ah Mei were injured or lost their sanity again, then Han Fei would face the threat of death again.
"The people who died in real life have reappeared in the game. I have no idea what their current state is but one thing is for sure — they still retain part of their previous memory. At least Wei Youfu and Ah Mei can understand what I'm saying."
Looking at the monster on the television, Han Fei resisted the urge to turn back. He said softly, "A happy life has been ruined by that crazed murderer, so you want revenge?"
Han Fei's words were actually superfluous, he was merely summarizing the monster's behavior but in reality, these words could close the distance between Han Fei and the monster and at the same time, divert the monster's aggro.
The one who caused this tragedy was not the innocent Han Fei nor was it Wei Youfu and Ah Mei who were also victims but the person who killed them.
Even though Han Fei did not study psychology, he had visited a psychiatrist many times due to his severe social anxiety. He remembered this saying stuck on one of the psychiatrist's walls — Let go of your own world and accept the world of others.
If you want to comfort someone who has suffered, then don't limit the definition of suffering to what you can understand.
Since you have not experienced it yourself, do not try to communicate with your own way of thinking. A good psychiatrist would listen patiently.
Han Fei did not understand this but he felt that when he interacted with a certain psychiatrist, he felt more comfortable when the psychiatrist did that so now he positioned himself as that psychiatrist.
Inside the haunted house at 3 am, next to the ghost made from human bodies, Han Fei chose to be the listener with his back turned to the monster.
He could not see the monster's hideous face but he could hear its cries of pain.
"You must have stayed here for a long time …"
Han Fei tried to recall the doctor's speech technique in his mind. Based on the patient's mental state, he offered the best comfort.
Slowly, the animation on the TV screen changed.
The two faces that represented Wei Youfu and Ah Mei stopped resisting. They seemed to be touched by Han Fei's words, a trace of humanity returned to their originally crazed faces.
Seeing Wei Youfu and Ah Mei's reaction, the remaining faces turned even more hysterical. It was as if they wanted to vent their pain and despair on Wei Youfu and Ah Mei instead.
The few faces refused to listen to Han Fei, the pain in their hearts was much deeper than the first two victims.
"The later the time of death, the greater the pain? What did the human jigsaw killer do to them? "
The animation on the television was probably a reflection of real life. Seeing as Wei Youfu and Ah Mei were about to be torn apart, Han Fei knew he could not allow this to continue.
After listening to his words, the two victims finally found a trace of humanity, which was the key to changing everything.
If he allowed them to be eaten by the other victims, then he might have to face a crazier monster next time, one that did not even care about cannibalism!
Han Fei slowly stood up. He had completed the New Player Mission, he could quit the game at any time so now was the time for him to be brave.
"You've saved me once, I will not leave you and your wife to die."
"Since the other victims want to vent their anger, I'll find them a target."
Han Fei hurried to the living room door. Once Han Fei moved, so did the monster. The other 5 faces did not plan to let Han Fei go. Pain and despair twisted their faces.
Sniffing the faint scent of blood in the air, Han Fei knew the neighbour was still there. 'If the neighbour on the 6th floor does not intend to harm me, then I'll try to communicate with him. We'll figure out a way to control the monster inside the house. But if he wants to kill me, then I'll have no choice but to lure him into the house and make him a target for the other victims to vent their anger on.'
Wei Youfu and Ah Mei were about to be eaten and the monster was getting out of control. Han Fei did not dare waste any time. He grabbed the front door and pulled it open!
Just as the door opened, a sharp knife pierced through the gap.
Han Fei, who was prepared, evaded the attack by a hair's breadth.
The neighbour outside the door seemed to know something was wrong with the house so he did not plan to enter the house. Han Fei noticed this as well. When the neighbour sheathed the knife, Han Fei grabbed the man's arm that was holding the knife and used all his strength to drag the man back into the house!
"Bang!"
The two fell to the ground. The 6th floor neighbour seemed to sense something was wrong. He quickly stood up but Han Fei's reaction was faster.
He did not run away or reach for the doorknob. Instead, Han Fei rammed his body into the door and slammed it shut!
He had locked himself and the 6th floor neighbour inside the house.
The cold light from the television shone on their faces. The 6th floor neighbour initially gave off an air of madness and obsession with blood but now he seemed to have woken up.
There were new intruders inside the house. The despairing faces turned to look at the 6th floor neighbour. This time, Wei Youfu and Ah Mei did not stop them.
A large shadow loomed over the room. The monster in the television rushed out from the living room.
The 6th floor neighbour reacted quickly. He reached for the doorknob but Han Fei slammed into him.
The two fell to the ground. The despairing neighbour glared at Han Fei with bloodshot eyes. The man's obsession with blood had completely disappeared. There was only anger and confusion left in his eyes. It was as if he was saying with his eyes — Do you really want to drag me down with you?
The monster who was tortured by pain and despair had already grabbed hold of the neighbour. Arms appeared to be hidden in the darkness.
The neighbour struggled with all his might. He greeted Han Fei with the most venomous words.
