"Guanxing, how come the tattoo on your arm has disappeared?" Han Fei took a silent step back.
"I don't know." Zhang Guanxing was confused. "After I ran into you yesterday, the tattoo faded. Then when the hostel door opened, the tattoo completely disappeared."
"When the hostel door opened?" Han Fei grabbed Zhang Guanxing's arm and used Soul-Depth Touch.
The boy before him was indeed Zhang Guanxing. The emotions that came from his soul were the same as before.
"Guanxing, in the ghost stories at your school, the ghost that turned away from others, has it ever appeared at the hostel?"
"Never. Many students saw it in the corridors of the education block. It appeared to have been killed by its girlfriend. It lingered around the education block with resentment in its heart."
"In other words, the thing probably snuck in from outside when the hostel door opened last night. In other words, the tattoo on your arm completely disappeared after it entered the hostel? "
"Yes, that's right." Zhang Guanxing had no idea what Han Fei was trying to say.
"Why did you tattoo that tattoo on your arm?" Han Fei lowered his voice. He sat down on the bed with Zhang Guanxing. "Don't treat me like a teacher, just treat me like a friend. I promise I won't tell anyone your secret."
After a long hesitation, Zhang Guanxing said, "My mother abandoned me and my father. She left me alone, leaving me to be beaten up by my father every day."
"Is it because of your mother?"
"When my father was angry, he would take it out on me. And my old classmates, they would often mock me and make fun of my mother. " Zhang Guanxing's fists tightened. "I hate all of them, I hate this world. Why do all the misfortune have to be placed on me? I've never asked for wealth or happiness, I just want to be like the other children. But this world won't grant me such a simple wish, if anything, it bullies me again and again! I can't even see the slightest bit of hope. "
Han Fei reached out to pat Zhang Guanxing on his back. After a few words of consolation, he said softly, "You hate everything in this world, but is there anyone you don't hate? Like your girlfriend Chu Xia? "
At the mention of Chuxia, Zhang Guanxing's expression softened. "I don't hate her. She is the only one who is willing to believe in me. Of course, that includes you, teacher."
Zhang Guanxing had forgotten that he was already dead. All he could remember was Chuxia's kindness.
Narrowing his eyes, Han Fei realized Zhang Guanxing's situation was similar to Meng Si's. Both of them had forgotten about death and the most painful thing to maintain their rationality.
Han Fei suspected that the previous manager had done something to Zhang Guanxing as well.
If that was the case, he might be able to find clues left behind by the previous manager from Zhang Guanxing.
In fact, Han Fei had already realized that something was wrong when he heard Zhang Guanxing's story.
Zhang Guanxing seemed to be telling his own story. The monster outside that faced away from the world was probably formed from the resentment in his heart.
"When the 'Hatred' on your arm disappeared, the man who was facing away from you appeared. Is there any connection between the two of you?" Han Fei slowly guided Zhang Guanxing.
"Contact?" Zhang Guanxing stared at his arm silently. It was as if the 'Hatred' had never appeared.
He thought about it for a long time. Just as he was about to shake his head, something slammed into the door of Room 104.
It was not knocking on the door, it sounded more like someone was ramming their back into the door!
"Notification for Player 0000! You've successfully triggered Grade G Hidden Mission — Facing Away from Your Face.
"Facing Away from Your Face: I've given you my back but you've pushed me down the abyss. You're afraid that I'll haunt you. Actually, I turned my head around because I wanted to take one last look at you.
"Mission Requirement: Do not let it stick to your back for the next half an hour!
"This is a time-limited mission."
Once the robotic voice appeared in his mind, Han Fei immediately tensed up. 'Don't let it stick to my back? Doesn't this mission description sound a little scary? "
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"Watch out! The thing is at the door! "Han Fei grabbed Zhang Guanxing and stood inside the room. The two of them stared at the door.
"Bang!"
The door to Room 104 was slammed heavily again. The door shook like it was going to burst open at any moment.
"This door won't hold for long."
Han Fei shoved the bed and study table behind the door. But at that moment, he saw blood seeping through the gap between the door and the door.
To Han Fei's horror, there was the sound of bones being crushed outside the door. The monster appeared to be able to change its body at will.
The smell of blood in the air thickened. Han Fei had Zhang Guanxing place the canister close to the door. Then he had the black anaconda curl around his body.
The wooden door shook more violently. Dark red blood and crushed flesh squeezed through the gap. They dripped to the ground and dyed Room 104 red.
Han Fei and Zhang Guanxing retreated until they reached the balcony. The heavily rusted anti-theft net trapped them inside the house.
"Sir, what do we do now?"
"Just stand behind me. No matter what happens, don't leave. Leave the rest to me." Han Fei was still unable to quit the game. If something happened to him during this mission, it would be game over.
Han Fei was more nervous than ever. His heart raced and his palms broke out in cold sweat.
The monster's flesh squeezed into the room through the gap. The pool of blood wiggled on the ground. It made Han Fei's skin crawl.
The stench of blood tickled his nostrils. The flesh slowly reassembled itself. A twisted figure appeared inside Room 104.
It stood facing away from Han Fei. Its back was twisted like all the bones in its body had been shattered.
The small bedroom was suffocating. The monster sucked up all the blood on the ground and its body slowly became whole.
This was the first time Han Fei had seen the monster at such a close distance. The monster did look similar to Zhang Guanxing but the monster was wearing Yi Ming Private Academy's uniform.
Han Fei's eyes slowly moved to the monster's arm.
In the tattered school uniform, he could vaguely see a bloody "Hate" character.
The character was dug out by someone's finger. The wound did not heal and black blood leaked out.
'Why is there the same character on his arm?'
Han Fei moved back when his back bumped into Zhang Guanxing's body.
Turning around, Zhang Guanxing stared blankly at the monster inside the bedroom. The light in his eyes disappeared and was replaced by confusion and pain.
'I've never seen his back before.'
'But why does he look so familiar to me?'
'Just by looking at him, I can feel his despair and sadness.'
'Every bone in his body is broken. He can't control his voice. He listens to the wind howling in his ears. Even if he has to break his neck, he still wants to turn back.'
Zhang Guanxing's voice darkened. He gripped his own arm and his nails dug into the flesh.
'I remember him, I know him …'
The bones creaked. Zhang Guanxing's body and the monster's body were twisting. Han Fei stood between the two and his face was pale.
However, he chose to believe in Zhang Guanxing. No matter what happened behind him, he did not turn back. His eyes were glued to the monster before him.
"Guanxing, you now have someone who truly trusts you. Someone who's willing to give up his life to save you. You're no longer alone."
Han Fei's voice echoed in the room. When Zhang Guanxing heard it, his expression turned more pained.
The monster heard Han Fei's voice as well. Its neck creaked noisily.
As the sound echoed, the monster still stood facing away from Han Fei but its head was slowly turning.
Slowly, Han Fei saw the monster's face. The monster looked exactly like Zhang Guanxing but his face was covered in wounds and blood flowed out of his orifices.
