When the Specters from Happiness Neighbourhood and Yi Ming Private Academy met under these circumstances, it was hard for them to accept each other. Thankfully, they had a common enemy — the Butterfly.
Han Fei was not a talkative person. The reason he was able to gain everyone's approval was because his actions could satisfy everyone's needs.
The tragedy that happened at Yi Ming Private Academy was all the Butterfly's doing. The first thing Han Fei did when he arrived at the school was to heavily injure Ma Manjiang and clip off the Butterfly's wings to avenge the Specters. His actions could only be described as beautiful.
He didn't try to convince anyone, but everyone consciously gathered around him.
It was the same thing now. The Happiness Neighbourhood and Yi Ming Private Academy had no connection at all. Trespassing into the other's territory would only lead to chaos.
But what if they were given a common goal?
The Ziggurat was the most dangerous building at this block. For the people from Yi Ming Private Academy, the Butterfly might be hiding inside the Ziggurat. Only by entering the Ziggurat would they have a chance to kill the Butterfly, to end all the pain and despair.
For the residents of Happiness Neighbourhood, there might be a gap that connected the Ziggurat to the surface. If they could leave through the gap, they would be able to witness the killer's punishment with their own eyes. They might even be able to find a safer place to stay.
The Unspeakable Presence that would sing every time it appeared seemed to have its eyes on the Happiness Neighbourhood. Exploring the Ziggurat was like finding a way out, the hope of survival might be buried inside the Ziggurat.
Everyone's interests were aligned, Han Fei only needed them to understand this problem.
He did not lie or hide anything, he used the most sincere tone to explain. He really considered the problem from the perspective of the Specters. His kindness was soon rewarded.
The residents of Happiness Neighbourhood and the Specters from Yi Ming Private Academy not only did not get into a conflict, their attitude softened.
"I will share my thoughts with Jin Sheng. To deal with the Butterfly more quickly and safely, working together is the best solution." Han Fei stood in the eerie corridor. He was surrounded by resentment but he did not show any fear. His mind was clear and his words flowed like a river. His words were persuasive.
It was hard for a normal person to imagine that just a few weeks ago, the man before them suffered from severe social anxiety. He could not even breathe in crowded places.
Han Fei explained everything clearly. To ensure there would be no problems, he even dragged the security guard, Ol 'Lee, over.
Su Mengting's diary mentioned the security guard, Old Li. He was the only person who had helped Su Mengting when she was alive. Su Mengting left her last trace of kindness to the seemingly ordinary Old Li.
Jin Sheng's homeroom teacher had a good impression of Old Lee. She only started to suspect Ma Manjiang after Old Lee's death.
When they were alive, they were actually very gentle people.
Ol 'Lee vouched for Han Fei without knowing what was going on. Then they entered the infirmary on the second floor. Han Fei opened the cupboard and woke Jing Sheng up.
Once Jin Sheng appeared, none of the ghosts dared to make a sound, including the few residents of Happiness Neighbourhood. Jin Sheng was covered in strange characters and he radiated a strong cursed presence.
From this point of view, Jin Sheng's own strength should be very terrifying, but it was a pity that he could only stay awake for one minute a day.
After obtaining Ma Manjiang's lingering consciousness and taking his revenge, Jin Sheng seemed to be in a much better condition than before.
Even though his eyes were still filled with cursed words, there was a trace of clarity underneath them. It was as if he was slowly regaining his sense of self.
To cut the long story short, Han Fei shared his plan with Jing Sheng.
Jing Sheng nodded and passed Han Fei a piece of paper from the cupboard. "I got this from Ma Manjiang, it should be of some help to you."
The cupboard door closed and everything returned to normal. Only then did the 'person' behind Han Fei dare to speak.
"Sir, what's written on the paper?" Zhang Guanxing leaned over curiously. He noticed Han Fei's expression was not so good so he lowered his head to look at the paper.
There were a few crooked sentences written on the crumpled white paper.
"Do not enter any room with the number 4 in the Ziggurat."
"The people at the Ziggurat will never go to Cattle Alley."
"The butterfly that hides inside people's hearts has entered this place through the Ziggurat, it knows the way in."
"The cowardly people at the Ziggurat will die faster."
"Do not leave the Ziggurat after midnight."
"After entering the Ziggurat, the lingering spirits will randomly appear at different locations inside the Ziggurat."
"I can confirm that something inside the Ziggurat has already placed a curse on you. If it's as short as seven days, if it's as long as a month, it's highly likely that you'll be cursed and die suddenly. "
Most of the information on the paper was about the Ziggurat. Han Fei's face darkened because he saw the last 2 messages.
After entering the 4th floor, they would randomly appear at different locations. No matter how many lingering spirits Han Fei brought into the 4th floor, they would be separated. However, Han Fei also noticed a loophole.
'Ma Manjiang only mentioned lingering spirits but not cursed objects. Could it be that the red wedding dress came to find the paper doll boss because the boss is a cursed object? '
'Sister Xu Qin is a curse amalgamation, I can enter the Ziggurat with her. By the way, there's also the wishing pot and the Mirror God at the 7th floor of the Happiness Neighbourhood. '
Han Fei would try his best to solve normal problems but he was helpless against the curse placed on him by the Ziggurat.
Actually, he could guess it. There were so many cursed objects in the cryptic world, it meant that there were many ghosts that were experts in curses. However, he did not expect to be cursed so early on.
'I'm only level 9! If this is a normal game, I should still be killing chickens in the newbie village. '
Han Fei felt like he was playing a completely different game than the previous manager. If the previous manager's difficulty was hard, then Han Fei's was hell.
The information Jing Sheng extracted from Ma Manjiang was very helpful to Han Fei. He did not want to waste any more time.
He needed to collect some cursed objects to understand the level of curses. He needed to prepare for the Ziggurat.
After leaving the infirmary, Han Fei led the residents of the Happiness Neighbourhood around Yi Ming Private Academy. After learning about the curse placed on him by the Ziggurat, Han Fei planned to make use of every second he had to become stronger.
With his title as the Patrolling Teacher, Han Fei led a few Lingering Spirits to search Yi Ming Private Academy. He did not want to miss any mission.
After completing the Grade F Manager Mission, Han Fei was rewarded with 3 times the EXP. After levelling up to level 9, Han Fei still had plenty of EXP left.
At the moment, he still had another Grade F hidden mission — Jin Sheng's School Ghost Story that he had not completed. Grade F missions corresponded to levels 10 to 20. In other words, if he completed this hidden mission now, he would still be able to get three times the EXP reward.
Han Fei looked at the EXP bar. If he could complete the Grade F Hidden Mission, he should be able to reach level 10 by the night.
With that in mind, the anxiety in his heart dissipated.
For a player, level 10 was a watershed. After gaining a new profession, their life would enter a new stage.
With a few Lingering Spirits, Han Fei was different from when he first entered Yi Ming Private Academy. A normal Grade G Mission posed no challenge to him.
After spending 3 hours, Han Fei successfully found and completed the remaining 3 ghost stories — The Red Uniform, The Dead Man's Book and The Hand Inside The Canteen's Cupboard.
After Han Fei ordered Lee Zai and Drake to break the hand inside the cupboard, the system notification finally rang in Han Fei's mind.
"Notification for Player 0000! You have successfully completed 7 ghost stories at Yi Ming Private Academy! Congratulations for completing Grade F Hidden Mission — Jin Sheng's Tales of Horrors!

The moment Han Fei reached level 10, he felt like something had broken free from its shackles in his mind. His brain became more agile and his five senses improved.
These were all changes outside of the menu. Han Fei was in a very unique state. He had never felt so much control over every part of his body.
