'Deep opening?'
Han Fei had no idea what that meant but he had a bad feeling about it. 'If all the corridors are opened up, there will be ghosts and wandering souls from other areas coming here?'
Now Han Fei was struggling to survive. Just as he had a chance to catch his breath, the cryptic world seemed to have changed again.
Han Fei looked at his character menu. He felt like he was being taken care of by the system but this time, it was the kind of care that would kill him.
'After completing the previous building's mission, I wanted to stay at Happiness Neighbourhood for a while longer but the tenants at Apartment 2 directly cleared out all the wandering souls. Now I can't accept any missions at the neighbourhood anymore.
'Now that I've finally cleared the hidden map of Yi Ming Private Academy, the system says it's going to open up the game to ghosts from other areas. Is the system afraid that I won't be able to play the game anymore?'
Han Fei licked his dry lips. The reason he was taken care of by the system probably had something to do with the path he had chosen.
Between redemption and destruction, the previous building manager chose destruction, but in his muddleheaded state, he chose both destruction and redemption. He had opened up two different sides of the black box at the same time.
'There will always be a way out. Worrying won't help me in the future. No matter what happens, I'll have to keep moving forward.'
Pushing open the toilet cubicle door, a gust of cold wind caressed Han Fei's face.
The old window creaked, and something unknown would occasionally crawl across the cracked glass. It looked like something was dragging a strand of hair, or some kind of venomous insect that fed on corpses.
The door hinges creaked noisily. Han Fei walked out from the toilet. Something flashed in the darkness ahead. The unknown presence appeared to be hiding from Han Fei.
'Has the title of Patrolling Teacher come into effect?'
Han Fei did not feel too uncomfortable walking through such a creepy school. It was as if he had been working here for a long time already.
'After dying so many times in manager missions, I've grown attached to this place.'
If there was a new teacher, Han Fei could proudly tell them that he had tried dying at more than 10 different places at this school.
"Mr. Han!" Ol 'Lee spotted Han Fei from afar. He carried the whole ghost mountain and ran towards Han Fei, stirring up a gust of wind that carried the stench of corpses.
Ma Manjiang had been killed but the ghosts seemed to have gotten used to Ol 'Lee's body. They had no intention of leaving.
They continued to cover Old Li's eyes, allowing him to live in a simple world where he didn't have to see those painful and terrible things.
"Where's your friend?" Ol 'Lee was a night guard, he had a memory deficit. He had forgotten many painful things but he remembered Han Fei and Huang Yin.
"He's a doctor. He has his own job." Then he asked, "Ol 'Lee, after I left last night, did anything special happen at the school?"
"No, everything is normal." Ol 'Lee chuckled as he carried Ghost Mountain and walked side by side with Han Fei. As they crossed the corridor, they saw the back of the education block covered in blood.
The broken souls of the outsiders were pierced by the ropes and hung high in the air. The butterfly tattoos and marks on their bodies were all cut off.
This shocking scene was too much for Han Fei to bear, but Ol 'Lee walked straight ahead as if he did not see anything.
"Are you sure everything is normal?"
"Yes, there was no one at the school last night."
In a way, Ol 'Lee was telling the truth.
Han Fei knew he would not get anything out of him so he walked toward the hanging souls.
Those remnant souls had not completely dissipated and still had their own consciousness. Vaguely, one could see some scribbled words on their bodies. There seemed to be a story written on each of them, and the story was about the evil in the remnant souls' hearts.
'Begging for life, begging for death, the ghosts at Yi Ming Private Academy sure are cruel.' Han Fei realized he had underestimated the ghosts at the school. If not for the cooperation between Ma Manjiang and Blue Butterfly, the chance of a normal ghost leaving Yi Ming Private Academy alive was close to zero.
"Mr. Han? Mr. Han! "
While Han Fei was reading the words on the souls, Wild Dog Zhang Guanxing's voice came from the education block. He was very excited when he saw Han Fei. The boy respected Han Fei and at the same time, he was sincerely grateful to Han Fei.
"Sir! I've been looking for you last night! "Dragging his heavily damaged body, Zhang Guanxing and Xu Qin's pet rushed out of the education block.
To be able to make a Lingering Spirit miss him so much, Han Fei felt like he had the talent to be a teacher. "You're just in time, who hung the outsiders here?"
"Jin Sheng's homeroom teacher, a very tall female teacher. After Ma Manjiang's death, she was on the verge of going mad. She vented all her pent-up resentment on the outsiders."
"Was it her who removed the butterfly tattoos on the outsiders?"
"Yes, she used the tattoos she cut off from the outsiders to weave them into a leather bag. She appeared to be wearing that bag to leave the school and go somewhere."
From what Zhang Guanxing said, Han Fei had a feeling Jin Sheng's homeroom teacher was going to the Ziggurat. She was going to seek revenge on the Butterfly.
"Do you know where she is now?"
"She should be patrolling the school. Last night, before Ma Manjiang died, a blue butterfly rushed to the school's front door with all its malice. It opened the locked door slightly. When the blue butterfly escaped, a new outsider snuck into the school. "
"A new outsider?" Han Fei was contemplating the identity of the newcomer when a shrill cry came from the hostel building. "This voice … it's so familiar!"
Han Fei, Zhang Guanxing and Ol 'Lee hurried to the hostel building. There was an intense battle going on inside the building. The windows were shattered and the air was thick with the stench of blood.
Cries and curses intertwined. The hostel building's corridor was covered in water and blood stains. The temperature dropped to freezing point.
The landlord's ring on Han Fei's finger kept chilling but to Han Fei's confusion, the chill did not make him feel bone-chilling, if anything, it made him feel comfortable.
Picking up his pace, Han Fei had the black anaconda curl around his body. He ran to the end of the corridor and finally saw the two parties fighting.
"Stop fighting! They're all on our side! "
The battle between the spirits was intense. Normally, not many people would rush over to stop them but Han Fei was an exception.
What was even stranger was the fact that both sides, who were already in a frenzy of killing, actually stopped fighting each other!
"Manager!"
"Sir!"
Lee Zai and Zhang Guanxing called out at the same time. Then they shared a look.
"We're all on the same side, we're all friends fighting for the same goal! Please don't fight because of a misunderstanding! "
Han Fei stood in the middle of the group of ghosts. His body shivered uncontrollably from the chill.
Looking at Han Fei, the expressions of the two groups of ghosts who were fighting in the corridor changed dramatically.
"On the same side?"
On the left side of the corridor, Jin Sheng's class teacher and Su Mengting stared at Han Fei silently. Their expressions were cold but probably because Han Fei had helped them kill Ma Manjiang, they did not show any hostility towards Han Fei.
On the right side of the corridor, Weep was hugging an electric cooker. Inside the cooker was his urn. His face was still wet with tears.
The single-eyed worker Drake and Lee Zai stood beside Weep. Both of them were confused, their brains still could not wrap around the situation.
Their building manager was supposed to enter the school to collect information, how did he suddenly become a teacher at the school?
Last night, the 3 of them found a chance to sneak into Yi Ming Private Academy when the Butterfly left. They were prepared to fight to the death but things did not turn out as they expected.
Han Fei was shielded by the ghosts and monsters from Yi Ming Private Academy. It sounded like they were the ones who were protecting Han Fei.
Li Zai and Drake glanced at each other. Their minds, which had been stimulated by despair, were even more confused now.
They had predicted several scenarios but this was the only one that they did not consider.
"Manager of Apartment 1, you'll blink if you're threatened?" Lee Zai stared closely at Han Fei's face. He was not joking. Once Han Fei blinked, he would make his move.
"What are you blinking for?!" Han Fei took out his teacher's id and started to explain what had happened over the past few days.
The path of survival that was bloody, cruel and filled with ghost stories was turned into an internship in Han Fei's mouth. He inherited the previous building manager's id and took over the previous building manager's responsibility.
He planned to use his own power to help the man-eating flowers at the school grow healthily and at the same time, to correct and heal their twisted souls.
"As long as I'm here, there will be no more conflict between Happiness Neighbourhood and Yi Ming Private Academy. We can try to find a way to coexist in this cryptic world."
After hearing Han Fei, Zhang Guanxing nodded in unconditional agreement. No matter what Han Fei said, he believed Han Fei was right.
Seeing how much trust the students had in Han Fei, Lee Zai even started to have self-doubt.
'We've only lost contact for a few days and he's already become a teacher who is loved by the students and protected by his' colleagues'. If we arrived a little later, would he have become this school's headmaster? ' Rationality told Lee Zai that it was impossible but at the same time, he believed there was nothing impossible for Han Fei.
When he saw Han Fei carrying the coffin into the neighbourhood from the convenience store, he knew Han Fei was different from normal people. He had great potential.
Now he was even more certain that following Han Fei would be beneficial to him in the future.
After a long explanation, Han Fei was about to put away the teacher's ID when the system's voice appeared in his mind.
"Notification for Player 0000! Friendliness Lee has increased by 10! You've gained Lee Zai's trust! "
Han Fei turned back to look and noticed Lee Zai was looking at him. He did not think too much of it and waved at him in a friendly manner.
