Han Fei's career history had reached a point where even he could not bear to look at it. He tried his best to place that title at the bottom of all the other titles but it would still pop up again and again. It was as if it was reminding Han Fei that gold would always shine.
Looking around, the House of the Butcher, the Midnight Butcher's class advancement point had been razed to the ground. Animal Alley lost its usual liveliness, all the dirt and sin had been washed away by the blood tide.
This hidden profession was a masterpiece in Han Fei's eyes. His profession's specialty was specifically targeted at other types of butchers. The more murderous the enemy, the sharper Han Fei's butcher knife would be.
From this perspective, it was only a matter of time before Han Fei turned this profession into an intangible cultural heritage.
To be honest, Han Fei also wanted to build a good relationship with his colleagues but they only wanted him dead.
"In the future, if you're chased by the butterflies to the point where you have nowhere to run, come and find me here. At least in Animal Alley, I can protect you." Spider promised to protect Han Fei but at the same time, he was telling Han Fei in a roundabout way not to drop by so often in the future.
After giving Han Fei a few more reminders, Spider dispelled the curse on everyone. Then he ventured deeper into Animal Alley alone. He wanted to rebuild this place with a new perspective.
Actually, Han Fei still had many questions about Spider but unfortunately, Spider's current condition was too weak, he needed to recover as soon as possible.
Leaving Spider alone, Han Fei carried Xu Qin on his back and led the rest towards the direction that Spider had pointed out for them.
Even though they had almost lost their lives several times in Animal Alley, the reward was worth the effort.
Han Fei's most important goal was to complete his class advancement and obtain a Grade F butcher knife. For Han Fei at his current stage, a Grade F item was already very valuable.
Other than that, he gained Spider's friendship and found an escape route for the people at Happiness Neighbourhood.
The few people who followed Han Fei into Animal Alley also experienced a huge breakthrough in their power level. Weep's transformation was the biggest.
After the blood pool, he was forced to face the memory that he had been avoiding. Now his spirit was much stronger than a Lingering Spirit of the same level. His cries could easily affect all the ghosts within a 17-metre radius.
Crying was a mini version of singing, Han Fei had high hopes for it.
Ever since Han Fei received the title of Midnight Butcher, Animal Alley felt like home to him. He did not feel uncomfortable walking down the alley, if anything, he felt comfortable. He felt like a predator patrolling his hunting ground.
They weren't in a hurry to leave. Instead, they joined forces to hunt down the pig-faced monsters.
Compared to when they first entered Animal Alley, the roles of the hunter and the prey had completely changed. The pig-faced monsters were like EXP packs that could increase the strength of their neighbors. The negative energy and resentment they carried could heal everyone's wounds, the killing intent and hatred they carried could refine their bodies and blades. The leftover flesh could be fed to the Black Serpent for it to absorb and refine to grow again.
With the principle of never abandoning and never giving up, Han Fei scoured the ground and turned all the peers he could find into nutrients.
During this time, he had also collected many butcher knives and released the remnant souls trapped within them.
Most of the remnant souls would run away but a small portion would voluntarily enter the Blade of Rebirth and travel with Han Fei.
After killing so many butchers, Han Fei noticed that the Blade of Rebirth did not even have a handle, it did not feel like a knife at all.
But in reality, the murderous intent of the knife was ridiculously heavy. However, the blade would only shine at certain times.
'The remnant souls in the cryptic world were once living humans. With this Blade of Rebirth, I'll be able to travel with more people in the future.'
Animal Alley was a turning point for Han Fei. Now that he could hold a knife, it was also the first time he had the upper hand.
When there were no more 'animals' left in Animal Alley, Han Fei left unwillingly.
Following the spider's hint, he led the group out of the alley.
The stench in the air dissipated and the blood stains on the walls disappeared. Han Fei looked at the stone lion that had its head chopped off at the entrance of the alley and felt a tinge of regret.
'The non-locals that were recruited by the doctor ran too fast. The Yin energy in their bodies and the buildings they own are worth a fortune. What a shame.'
Even though he said that, in reality, Han Fei had memorized the physical characteristics and abilities of each non-local. His superhuman memory gave him a chance to settle the score.
Walking out of the alley, Han Fei turned to look. The dumpling restaurant's lights were all off and the door was tightly shut.
'They've given up on such a good business? Did they run away in the middle of the night? '
Han Fei pushed the door open. There was still the smell of meat coming from inside the restaurant.
The bowls and utensils on the table had not been cleared away. The big red lanterns on the wall all looked like they were about to cry.
Han Fei flipped through the items on the counter. The thick ledger was filled with names, the names belonged to both the customers and the ingredients.
Pulling back the curtain to enter the kitchen, Han Fei saw a large amount of meat from Animal Alley. The dumpling stuffing in the restaurant was made from this meat.
The meat stuffing mixed with the curse would make people go crazy. The more they ate, the hungrier they would feel, until their stomach would burst.
'This is a scam.'
Han Fei walked around for a long time before he found a warehouse that was specifically used to store ingredients.
He pushed the door open. Other than various strange carcasses, there were also many items that were tainted with resentment.
The most valuable parts should have been taken away by the shop owner but just the remaining parts were enough to make Han Fei's eyes light up.
'Is running a restaurant really that profitable?' Turning to Xu Qin, Han Fei said softly, "This place is very close to Animal Alley, it's still relatively safe. How about we open a restaurant here after we deal with the Butterfly? With your cooking skills, it'll definitely be a hit. "
A faint light flashed across Xu Qin's red eyes. Then she nodded lightly as if imagining the scene.
The neighbors absorbed the remaining Yin energy, and the rest of the mess was swallowed by the Black Serpent. The entire restaurant was emptied.
After consuming so much, the black snake turned back into a giant anaconda, this time its body was even larger than before.
'There are still some secrets hidden at Animal Alley. Some of the pig-faced monsters managed to escape during the chaos but they won't make much of a difference. My next focus will be the Ziggurat where the Butterfly resides.'
Recalling the map left behind by the previous building manager, the Happiness Neighbourhood was situated between the Ziggurat and Animal Alley. Han Fei still had to travel a long way to reach the Ziggurat.
'I still have a week to prepare. If I can reach level 15 in a week, then I'll have a better chance.'
Han Fei had no idea what the previous building manager was doing when he was level 15 but he planned to challenge the most difficult building in this area when he reached level 15.
Due to Xu Qin's poor condition, Han Fei was not in the mood to continue exploring the surrounding buildings.
He followed the route that he took to get here. It took him more than an hour before he finally reached the Happiness Neighbourhood.
When they entered the neighbourhood, many of the neighbours including Apartment No. 2 saw Han Fei carrying Xu Qin on his back.
To save the tenants inside the building, Han Fei led those who were willing to follow him into the depths of despair. He risked his life to save them.
Sometimes, it was better to actually do something than to say a thousand words.
At least Han Fei was using his actions to prove that he, as the building manager, was doing his job for the community with sincerity.
"Notification for Player 0000! Due to your actions being acknowledged by all the tenants at the Happiness Neighbourhood, your friendliness level has increased by 3. We hope you will continue to work hard to create a harmonious neighbourhood! "
