Han Fei could see that Weep wanted to become stronger. He was willing to leave the Happiness Neighbourhood and follow Han Fei to face all kinds of dangers. He was willing to pay a high price.
But in reality, even if he did become stronger, he still could not face a part of his past.
He suppressed all the despair at the bottom of his heart and tried his best to compress his soul but the sadness did not disappear. If anything, it pierced through his skin like needles, turning him into an unapproachable monster.
Han Fei's palm bled but he did not mind it. Compared to Weep's pain, it was nothing.
There was no need to say anything else, the best comfort was silence.
Weep was lucky to have met Han Fei or else even if he became the scariest ghost, he would not be able to face his past because by then, he would have become the monster that he once hated the most.
The spikes on his arm slowly disappeared. Weep did not want to hurt Han Fei and because of that, he started to control the spikes that were formed from pain and sadness.
The rampaging Weep finally calmed down. The sadness around him dissipated and Weep returned to his normal self.
"He's broken through?" The single-eyed worker Drake was shocked. The small Weep gave him a dangerous feeling. "He looks so weak but he seems to be scarier than a normal medium-sized Lingering Spirit."
"What do you mean by a medium-sized Lingering Spirit? Can you be more specific? "Han Fei was also curious about Weep's current power level.
"I am a medium-sized Lingering Spirit, I look about the same height as a normal person. Larger Lingering Spirits are scarier than medium-sized Lingering Spirits like the red wedding dress and the female teacher at Yi Ming Private Academy. Even if they retract all their Lingering Spirits, their bodies will still be larger than a normal person's. Beyond that is the Peak Lingering Spirit, they are only one step away from evolving into Hatred Spirit, their power can only be described as terrifying. "Drake was loyal to Han Fei, no matter what Han Fei asked, he would answer seriously.
"But in this city, size is only one of the criteria to judge a person's power. There are many strange Lingering Spirits and Specters that cannot be judged based on size, like the paper doll boss at the convenience store. It could hold its own against a large Lingering Spirit and it has many tricks up its sleeves. If not for the fact that it was surrounded by the people at the Ziggurat that day, you wouldn't have had the chance to attack it. "
"Understood, so it's better to be cautious. Caution is the parent of safety." Han Fei had the Lingering Spirits return to the urn. Then he returned the barbershop to its original state before he left.
Following the map left by the previous manager in his head, Han Fei held the urn and crept forward along the street.
The city shrouded in darkness was strange everywhere. Many shops on both sides of the road were closed. After all, only a few shops dared to open their doors in this place.
Han Fei passed a residential building, a hairdresser and a few snack bars before he slowed to a stop.
Inside the urn, Weep and Drake kept warning him, telling him to stay away from the building. This was the first time Drake had warned him.
"Yi Ming Pet Clinic? Is it a pet shop? "
The pet shop not far away was decorated warmly. The sign was pink, and there were many pictures of kittens and puppies pasted on the glass door. It looked very cute.
"The cuter something is, the more deadly it is in the cryptic world."
Han Fei's main goal was to advance his profession. Since Weep and Drake had warned him to stay away, Han Fei would not force his way in.
Leaving temporarily did not mean he would let it go. Han Fei's idea was to pick on the weak ones first. When all the spirits around him were gone, he would come back to bite the hard bone.
Han Fei clicked his tongue. This game was quite like a gourmet game. Tasting different ghosts, nurturing neighbors and family before helping them walk out from pain and despair, it was so comforting.
Holding his breath, Han Fei took a detour around Yi Ming Pet Clinic. He walked for another 10 minutes before Drake gave him another warning.
The street between Yi Ming Convenience Store and Happiness Neighbourhood was called Yi Ming Street. Han Fei was at the end of the street. At the intersection of Yi Ming Street and another street, there was an old-fashioned cinema.
The cinema had a strange name, it was called Heaven.
Han Fei felt the name was familiar. He opened his inventory and found the work ID for Heaven Cinema and a group picture.
When Han Fei first started playing the game, Happiness Neighbourhood Block 1 was once invaded by non-locals. Han Fei found this Paradise Cinema ID from the non-locals.
The work ID was one of the requirements to become an actor but Han Fei did not want to go to a place like Heaven Cinema.
Furthermore, compared to being a Midnight Butcher, a normal profession like an actor was not as attractive.
Han Fei memorized the location of Paradise Cinema. He stayed far away from it and turned into another street.
The city shrouded in darkness appeared to have no boundaries. Han Fei turned into another street. The buildings were crowded together. Creepy noises came from inside.
The warning from Weep and Drake increased as well. Han Fei's heart tightened. 'We should be there soon! The previous manager's map showed that this is the place. '
The buildings on both sides became low and dilapidated. The surroundings gradually quieted down. In the dead silence, one could vaguely see a pair of scarlet eyes opening. Something also began to move in the empty corner.
After walking for 5 minutes, Han Fei stood in the shadows. Even with the help of Drake and the other neighbours, he did not feel safe at all. One wrong step and he would lose his life.
Moving his feet, Han Fei came to the back of an old building. According to the map, this should be Cattle Alley. There was a dumpling restaurant that looked like it was doing well.
The red signboard said 'Fresh Meat'. Han Fei could smell the meat fragrance that drifted out from inside the shop.
'Cattle Alley is behind this shop? Or have I already entered Cattle Alley? ' Why didn't the system give me any hint? '
All the buildings radiated a dangerous presence. Only the fresh meat dumpling shop was different. Han Fei could see shadows moving inside the shop.
'Drake did not give me any hint, which means it should be safe inside.'
Han Fei slowly walked out from the shadows. He pushed open the door of the dumpling shop.
The rich smell of meat rushed into Han Fei's nostrils, stimulating his taste buds. At that moment, he felt hunger. The hunger intensified.
Communicating with the spirits inside the urn, Han Fei discovered something even more shocking. The ghosts inside the urn were starved as well. They appeared to be more affected than Han Fei.
