The black anaconda curled up next to Han Fei's leg. Even though its body was weak, it still wagged its tail happily.
The female butcher was still nearby so Han Fei did not dare to say anything. He listened to the movement outside the door quietly.
After the heavy footsteps and the heavy stench faded away, Han Fei finally sighed in relief.
'I'm alive.'
Hugging the black anaconda's limp body, the man and the pet depended on each other in this dangerous Cattle Alley. Both of them were reminded of Xu Qin.
'Based on the information given by the hairdresser, Xu Qin should still be at Cattle Alley. Perhaps I'll run into her somewhere.'
Xu Qin's face appeared in his mind and Han Fei felt less afraid. He took out the red paper doll from his inventory. The doll's face that looked exactly like Xu Qin slowly turned to look at a certain direction.
The doll probably sensed the location of Xu Qin's real body. Xu Qin had once poured her own blood on the doll to add her own curse to the doll.
'I'll deal with the wounds first and then I'll go find Xu Qin. After I meet up with Xu Qin and the other neighbours, I'll try to kill the lone pig-faced monster. '
Han Fei struggled up from the ground. He leaned against the wall and looked around. Only now did he have the chance to study this room.
After he logged off, the black anaconda must have encountered something. It was lucky that it managed to find this old house.
The cracked bricks were covered in dried blood. Perhaps due to the 'fertilizer', the yard was overgrown with weeds. There were even some plants that Han Fei could not recognize.
Han Fei walked through the yard and pushed open the old wooden door. There was no sign of a living person inside the small house, there was only a wooden coffin.
The coffin was placed in the middle of the room. The coffin lid had been chopped off by a knife and an axe. There was no body inside the coffin, only a pile of bloodstained clothes.
'A cenotaph?'
The blood on the clothes had turned black, the owner should have been dead for a long time already.
Han Fei wanted to continue his search but his physical condition did not allow him to waste any more time.
'Come, do me a favor. Bite on this side of the needle.'
Han Fei hid in the innermost part of the room and took out the needle and thread that Huang Yin used to practice his skills from his inventory.
Han Fei thought back to the method introduced in the video. His powerful memory allowed him to remember all the details. He had trained on cadavers at Happiness Neighbourhood before so he did not panic.
Biting on the cloth, Han Fei's hands were steadier than most doctors. After all, he was the one who threaded the needle through his own flesh.
With the little pet's help, Han Fei completed the simple suture in 10 minutes.
The line on the wound was crooked and looked a little scary, but at least the bleeding had stopped.
'The blood has stopped but the arm is dislocated, what should I do?'
Han Fei tore off the shirt and found a tree. Then he found a branch around the school..
After everything was done, he laid down beside the coffin with a pale face.
"Xu Qin's food can recover health quickly and has other special effects. After I find her, I'll have to ask her to make more. I need to carry them with me at all times."
In the cryptic world, Han Fei's body healed much faster than in real life. He still had not fully grasped the rules of this world.
Ever since he started the game, he had been running for his life. In a situation where even survival was a problem, he had no time to experiment with other things.
Lying inside the old room, Han Fei rested for a while. However, hiding inside the room was not safe either. In just a few minutes, he heard footsteps outside the door twice.
Perhaps one of the pig-faced monsters was wandering nearby.
'The doors at Cattle Alley are like decorations to the monsters. They can come in at any time if they wish. The original occupants were probably killed by them as well.'
Seeing the state of the room, Han Fei slowly climbed up from the ground. He reached his movable right hand into the coffin.
Underneath the bloodstained clothes was a genealogy book filled with red marks. The names were crossed out one by one. It looked rather creepy.
'Does each name represent a living person?'
At the last page, Han Fei found the only name that was not crossed out — Wang Sheng.
'Could this be the name of the child at the dumpster?'
He tried to place the genealogy book into his inventory. To his surprise, he succeeded instantly. The system notification rang in his mind.
"Notification for Player 0000! You've discovered the mission item — Wang family genealogy book!
"Wang family genealogy book: The existence of this genealogy book proves that there were once many living people living at Cattle Alley. Find out how Human Alley turned into Cattle Alley, it might help you escape from this place. "
The system notification came out of nowhere. Han Fei had no idea what this genealogy book could be used for so he put it away for now.
Walking around the room, Han Fei noticed a lot of nail scratches on the walls.
The scratches on the walls were mixed with blood. It felt like there was once a madman trapped inside the room. Even if it had to dig out all its fingers, it was determined to escape from this room.
'The rooms in this alley don't appear to have windows. Each room is like a sealed box. Once the door is closed, no one outside will know what happens to the people inside.'
Entering the room, Han Fei's vision was blocked by the scratches. The impact intensified. The small room was filled with despair and pain.
'Is it a human being trapped inside this room? Or is it a monster? '
There was not a single intact piece of furniture in the room. Han Fei frowned as he rummaged through the bloodied mess for something useful.
When he looked under the bed, his pupils instantly shrank.
At the most inconspicuous corner of the bed was a hand that had been chopped off at the wrist.
The hand reeked of a horrible stench. The skin was blackened but even so, its 5 fingers still gripped a broken bone-paring knife tightly.
'A knife?'
A knife was a very unique item at Cattle Alley. All the knives in this hidden map appeared to be cursed, they were all cursed objects.
'Could this be an ownerless cursed object?'
Han Fei took out the red paper doll just in case. Then he had the black anaconda dig the hand out from under the bed.
The anaconda reached towards the black hand unwillingly. When it touched the hand, its large body jerked violently like it was agitated by something.
Looking at Han Fei pitifully, the black anaconda refused to go near the hand.
'Aren't you supposed to be able to eat anything?'
After comforting the black anaconda, Han Fei endured the pain and used his dislocated left hand to touch the knife.
His thought was simple. After all, his left hand was already in a half-crippled state. At most, he would be completely crippled. As long as his right hand was unaffected, he would be fine.
Han Fei's finger slowly moved closer to the boning knife. He wanted to use the system's appraisal function to see if the knife could still be used but the moment his finger touched the boning knife, his brain felt like it was being squeezed by more than 10 pairs of arms.
Indescribable pain acted directly on his soul. Han Fei felt like his consciousness was being torn apart.
He wanted to pull his arm back but his body was already out of control. He couldn't even complete this simple action.
Even though he tried his best, he only managed to open his eyes.
In a room full of scratches, in a wing room overflowing with fear and pain, there were six bloodied remnant souls standing there at this moment.
Their faces were twisted and their bodies were broken. Part of their souls were trapped inside the bone-paring knife.
"The knives at Cattle Alley are imprisoning souls."
The pairs of arms threatened to tear Han Fei apart. They had already lost their rationality.
'There are men and women, young and old, they appear to be a family? Could they be the original tenants of this room? '
Without any hesitation, Han Fei took out the genealogy book from his inventory.
The tattered Wang family tree fell to the ground. It flipped open to a certain page. The 6 lingering souls' attention was slightly diverted by the tree.
Making use of this opportunity, Han Fei scanned the lingering souls. He suddenly noticed one of them looked very similar to the female body in the trash heap.
"Wang Sheng! I've saved Wang Sheng before! "
With the thought of taking a gamble, Han Fei shouted at the top of his lungs.
The pain from his brain weakened slightly. The 6 lingering souls leaped at him like they wanted to see something from Han Fei.
Several seconds later, the 6 souls stopped hurting Han Fei. They passed through Han Fei's mind and body before returning to the bone-paring knife.
At the same time, the system rang in Han Fei's mind again.
"Notification for Player 0000! You've discovered a Grade G Incomplete Cursed Item — Knife!
"Knife (Grade G Incomplete Cursed Item): This knife once killed a family of 6, it was meant to be used to wipe out a family.
