The ugly pig-faced monster was unable to enter the blood pool and the hooks controlled by the factory manager were blocked by the other Lingering Souls. The fat on its body started to tremble from anger. No one had ever forced it into such a corner before.
The pig's bloodshot eyes bulged outwards. The factory manager stared at Han Fei who was still climbing up the stairs. The wounded man looked like he would collapse at any moment but he continued to challenge the manager's common sense with his body covered in blood.
The limit that the manager saw was broken again and again by Han Fei. The weak body that it could crush with one hand appeared to be hiding a power that it could not comprehend.
It tried to control the iron hook again but more and more people came to Han Fei's aid. The Lingering Souls that retained humanity used their bodies to block the sharp iron hook.
There was a ghastly blood stain on the pole in the middle of the scale, that was where Han Fei had climbed.
Unafraid of death and malice, Han Fei finally reached the top of the scale.
The bone-paring knife was unable to cut through the chain. Han Fei used Soul-Depth Touch to hug Weep's thin back and tried to free him from the iron hook.
The meat factory was in chaos. More and more pig-faced monsters rushed back.
Time ticked by. Just as Han Fei was about to save Weep, the iron fence at the far end of the ditch was smashed open. A pig-faced monster with human teeth wrapped around its waist dragged Wang Sheng over.
It had appeared at the same area as the single-eyed pig-faced monster. It appeared to have seen Han Fei fight the pig-faced monster to save Wang Sheng.
Seeing the monster walk over with Wang Sheng by his neck, Han Fei knew something was wrong. His body was at its limit. After all, his current Stamina Points were only 13, he was mainly relying on the ghost tattoo.
His arms were completely drained of energy. Staring into the man's inhuman eyes, Han Fei made a crazy decision.
'Leave me alone!'
Han Fei had the black anaconda leave the ghost tattoo and have it feed the Yin energy stored in its body to Weep.
In this desperate situation, Han Fei still made the most rational decision. Weep was much stronger than he was. Even if Weep only recovered part of his power, it would be enough to turn the tables.
The moment the black anaconda left Han Fei's body, the ghost tattoo dimmed. The malevolent blood in the veins lost its barrier and seeped into Han Fei's body.
The heart-wrenching pain made him feel like his consciousness had already blurred. The bloodstain seemed to have directly drilled into his soul and was slowly eating away at his memories.
Without the protection of the ghost tattoo, Han Fei was just an ordinary person. The pain came wave after wave.
He forced his eyes open and looked at the edge of the blood pool.
The pig-faced monster with human teeth wrapped around his waist grabbed Wang Sheng's shoulders and soaked his legs in the blood pool.
The blood that was filled with filth and malice crawled up Wang Sheng's legs, burning his soul. The child was enduring pain that even an adult would find hard to endure, but he did not cry.
The small face looked at Han Fei who was on the scale of humanity. He tried very hard to force a smile but in the end, all he managed to produce was a smile that he believed was genuine.
Living at Cattle Alley, he had never seen a real smile before. To survive, to not be discovered by the monster, his mother's last words were for him to stay under her body and not to cry.
He had never learned how to smile and he did not know how to cry. The last expression the child had when he looked at Han Fei was like a little flower that was about to bid farewell to the world.
It was weak and wilting but at least it had once bloomed above the wasteland.
Seeing this, Han Fei gripped the bone-paring knife tighter.
Perhaps sensing that Han Fei was about to do something, Wang Sheng took the opportunity when the pig-faced monster lifted him up to bite down on the monster's arm. He had never bitten so hard before.
The pig-faced monster was caught off guard. It swung its arm and tossed Wang Sheng into the blood pool.
The small body was corroded by the blood. Endless malice surged madly into his body.
Wang Sheng was too small, he did not transform into the pig mask but with his own strength, he would not be able to swim to the pillar.
His body slowly sank into the pool. He seemed to have prepared himself.
Looking at his disappearing arms, the pain was replaced by another emotion. He did not understand what it meant to be alive. Did he work so hard just to take one more look at this alley filled with animals?
Plop!
Just as Wang Sheng's consciousness was about to collapse, he heard something. He opened his eyes to look up.
Han Fei, who was covered in wounds, jumped into the blood pool with a bone-paring knife between his teeth!
Blood vessels and malice quickly curled around his body. They crawled into his wounds. In less than a second, his blood vessels started to rupture.
A coarse hand reached for Wang Sheng and Wang Sheng subconsciously reached out to grab it.
Just as Han Fei was about to leave with the boy, multiple black chains shot out from the bottom of the pool. They wrapped around both of their bodies.
Wang Sheng tried to push Han Fei away but it was too late.
The black chains dragged the two of them down. They were powerless against the force.
Han Fei who had been holding onto Wang Sheng's arm finally reached his limit. He really did not have any energy left.
His body sank deeper into the blood pool. The suffocation intensified. But at that moment, Han Fei suddenly felt someone grab his shoulder. A force tried to drag him to the surface.
Turning around with difficulty, Han Fei saw the elder twin had grabbed him and was trying his best to swim up.
Flowers of blood bloomed on the bottomless pool. With the help of the black anaconda, Weep who recovered part of his Yin energy managed to save the remaining souls.
Without any communication, the rescued souls all jumped into the pool. Enduring the pain, they swam towards Han Fei and Wang Sheng.
When Weep and the last remnant soul jumped into the blood pool, the giant black scale completely tipped and collapsed.
The pig-faced souls floated above the blood pool. They glared at each other with various venomous expressions.
The remaining souls who held onto their humanity all swam deeper into the blood pool. They were dragged into the bottomless darkness but none of them retreated.
Enduring the torture and fear, these incomplete souls finally saw the truth of the world.
At the bottom of the blood pool, there was half a rotten heart.
All the malice and pain came from that heart. The sin at Cattle Alley was only half the evil of this heart.
'Could that be half of the Spider's heart? Half of it represents evil, so there should be another half that represents kindness? Where is the other half of the heart that represents kindness? '
The thick chains anchored the half heart to the bottom of the pool. When Han Fei saw it, he decided to destroy it.
'This half heart should be the source. If I destroy it, Cattle Alley will be destroyed as well!'
His right hand gripped the hilt. Han Fei did not plan to conserve his energy to swim back. He channeled all his remaining energy into his right hand and swung the blade at the heart!
The sharp blade landed on the heart but all it did was scratch the skin.
Endless black blood surged and the wound Han Fei left behind healed instantly.
No wonder the factory manager did not set up any protective measures at the bottom of the blood pool. There was nothing in the pool that could really harm the heart.
Han Fei's hand was already exhausted but he swung the blade stubbornly. He did not want to give up.
The speed at which the knife cut through the water began to slow down. When Han Fei couldn't even swing the knife, a small hand pressed on the handle of the knife. Wang Sheng wanted to help Han Fei.
Before Han Fei could react, many arms joined Han Fei to grab the hilt.
All the souls' bodies became more damaged under the wash of the blood water. They were slowly disappearing but none of them let go, none of them retreated.
The blade was raised and a swirl appeared in the pool. All the souls' power was gathered in Han Fei's hand and he swung the blade downwards!
The cold scab was sliced open layer by layer. When it was halfway through, black blood surged. The blade and the heart were locked in a stalemate.
The endless black blood continued to heal the wound on the half heart. The bone-paring knife in Han Fei's hand kept rattling. More and more cracks appeared on the blade. Finally, with a crisp crack, the bone-paring knife shattered in the pool of blood!
Holding the hilt, looking at the broken blade, Han Fei had not felt such despair since he entered the cryptic world.
His only blade was already broken, there was nothing he could do to save anyone!
He had experienced the same thing when he was young. His memory was deeply wounded and his consciousness was on the verge of collapse.
There was no light in his eyes anymore. No amount of struggle could change anything. In the end, he was still the same person.
The blood surged into his body. Just as Han Fei felt like his heart was about to rot, Wang Sheng's hand reached out to grab him.
Just as Han Fei had risked his life to save him, the boy showed the same expression as Han Fei did back then.
He was mimicking Han Fei's kindness. He tried his best to flash a handsome smile but in the end, all he managed was a smile.
This was probably the last expression he left for the human world. After that, he voluntarily rammed into the broken blade.
His body was washed away by the blood but the last bit of humanity flowed into the butcher's blade.
Wang Sheng appeared to be just the beginning. As the souls rammed into the butcher's blade, they channeled their last bit of humanity and humanity into Han Fei's blade!
All the butcher's knives at Cattle Alley were cursed. The more souls trapped in them, the stronger their resentment, the scarier the butcher's blade became.
But in Han Fei's case, the situation was completely different.
Cattle Alley was filled with the ugliest humanity but even in this hell on earth, the most beautiful humanity was hidden.
Countless souls surged into the blade and forged it into the most unique butcher's blade!
Holding the hilt, the system notification rang in Han Fei's mind.
