"Notification for Player 0000! Friendliness level with Xu Qin has increased by 1! You have telepathy and a tacit understanding of each other. Your relationship has become even closer. "
The system notification appeared in Han Fei's mind again. His words seemed to have struck a chord with Xu Qin.
"Sister, don't tell me you're thinking the same thing?"
Putting away the table knife, Xu Qin glanced at Han Fei's injured arm and said softly, "There's no hurry."
With Xu Qin leading the way, they left the 3rd floor. They passed through many empty rooms and arrived at the 1st floor.
Almost all the rooms in this old building were connected but most of them were set up as traps. One wrong step and you'd die a horrible death.
"Take a rest here for now, I'll go find you some medicine and food." Xu Qin turned to the kitchen. This room appeared to be her base at the House of the Butcher.
Several minutes later, the delicious smell of meat drifted out from the kitchen.
Han Fei's nose had been tormented by the stench all night. Now that he smelled it, he felt like he was in heaven.
"Fresh ingredients taste the best so I didn't prepare too much." Xu Qin walked out from the kitchen with a steel basin. Her eyes were red, her fingers were pale and her red shirt was still dripping with blood.
A normal person's first reaction when they saw her walk out from the kitchen with a pot of meat would be to run for their lives, worried that they would be the next victim in the basin.
But Han Fei's reaction was warm. He sat obediently at the table. Watching Xu Qin and the basin of meat, his fingers twitched.
Thanks to his high luck and Midnight Butcher's resistance to curses related to flesh and knives, Han Fei was able to enjoy Xu Qin's food as much as he wanted.
The thick gravy in the iron basin emitted a refreshing fragrance. With his remaining right hand, Han Fei dug in eagerly.
Seeing how much Han Fei enjoyed the food, Weep licked his lips and took a bite out of curiosity.
He was essentially still a child but his memory was filled with despair. With Han Fei's help, Weep's childish side slowly surfaced.
Weep chewed on the meat cooked by Xu Qin. After the first bite, he was amazed.
But when he was about to take a second bite, a black curse appeared on his thin body. The meat that he had swallowed seemed to come to life, and it seemed to be roaring like a beast.
With Xu Qin's help, Weep finally managed to remove the curse.
He clutched his stomach and walked away from the table. Watching Han Fei gorging himself, there was only envy in his eyes.
"It turns out that not everyone is qualified to eat her cooking."
Looking at the two people chatting and laughing at the table, Weep dragged the little black snake that had been trying to climb onto Han Fei's body to the side.
Han Fei was really enjoying the food. After his class advancement, his desire for meat was much stronger than he imagined.
Fortunately, his Midnight Butcher had a new class characteristic. Otherwise, he would have lost himself in the process of devouring.
Han Fei devoured the whole basin of meat. Actually he did trigger the curse along the way. It felt like his organs were being punched repeatedly but he did not show any pain. He did not want Xu Qin to feel uncomfortable.
With his resistance to flesh related curses and the fact that the curse was not that strong, Han Fei managed to survive it all.
After finishing the large pot of meat, not only did Han Fei's injuries recover by half, his resistance against flesh and blood curses increased by one point.
If he trained for a long time, Han Fei might be able to create a miracle of immunity to flesh related curses.
"Big sister, does this house belong to you? How come you have your own house at Cattle Alley? " Han Fei looked at his stomach. He had eaten so much meat but he did not feel full at all.
"There are many different curses in my consciousness, one of them came from the deepest part of Cattle Alley. The female chef begged me to kill her and take her away. I lost control and turned her into a part of the curse. " Xu Qin was different from a normal Lingering Spirit, she was a curse amalgamation. Her power could not be measured by the system of Lingering Spirits.
Initially, Han Fei did not think about this. Now that Xu Qin mentioned it, he was reminded that Spider's 8th persona was a female chef. Her personality was second only to the author. Before her first murder, she was very kind; after her first murder, her personality changed drastically, she turned from a chef to a butcher.
"This happened a long time ago. At the time, the previous building manager was still alive. After he found out I had entered Cattle Alley, he asked me to look for someone."
"Look for someone?"
"That person was called Spider. The previous building manager only knew that name, he had no other information. Until now, I have not been able to find him. " Xu Qin pocketed the basin. "After killing the female chef, I gained part of her power. I also inherited her room and mask inside the building."
Her fingers tapped lightly on the pig's mask. Xu Qin revealed another important piece of information, "There is a number on the back of each mask. Temporarily, I do not know the meaning of the number but many people at this building are collecting masks. It seems like after collecting all the masks, we will discover something."
"Then what is the number on the back of your mask?"
"Number 8." Xu Qin didn't hide it and said it directly.
'This shouldn't be a coincidence. The number on the back of the mask is probably the serial number of Spider's different personas.' Han Fei stared at Xu Qin's face as another question crossed his mind. Xu Qin had killed the original 8th persona and converted it into a curse.
If the author wanted to seek redemption through the same method, did that mean he had to kill Xu Qin?
'Perhaps I should change my perspective. In real life, Spider killed all his personas but he only managed to fight the Butterfly to a draw. He found out about the Butterfly's weakness but he did not exploit it. Theoretically speaking, there should be a better solution. '
Just as Han Fei was trying to come up with a solution, there was a knock on the door.
The eyes of the people in the room instantly changed. As if they had been trained, all of them looked at the door.
Taking out the table knife, Xu Qin pushed the door open.
A child around 8 years old with a school bag stood at the door.
Normally, a child of this age should already know a lot of things, but the child at the door was silly, as if he had a congenital brain disease.
He stammered and could not express himself for a long time. Perhaps he was in too much of a hurry, he took out a pen and paper from his bag.
Moments later, he handed Xu Qin the finished drawing. On the yellowed paper was a drawing of a doctor with a pig's face.
After seeing the drawing, Xu Qin signaled for Han Fei to stay inside the room while she left with the child.
'Spider's 7th persona is called Ah Meng. He has a stutter, mental retardation and a penchant for drawing. This matches perfectly with the child.'
When Han Fei saw the child, the corresponding information appeared in his mind. 'This child is not simple to be able to survive at the House of the Butcher. He appears to be able to see things that others cannot.'
Staring at the closed door, Han Fei signaled for Weep and the black snake to stay close to him. He had a feeling something was about to happen.
