Han Fei treated the Happiness Neighbourhood as his home. In fact, he felt a sense of belonging to this place.
Compared to the previous manager, Han Fei's way of doing things was immature and impulsive but at the same time, he gave off a sense of sincerity.
Entering Apartment 1, the eerie staircase did not make Han Fei feel pressured. Holding the rusted banister, he was reminded of the times when he risked his life in the staircase every night.
Every room in this building carried Han Fei's memories. He did not know when it started but Han Fei's fate had become intertwined with this old building.
Just as Han Fei stepped into the staircase, the door to the 4th floor was pushed open.
Moments later, a fragile Wei Youfu appeared in the staircase. Little Eight hid behind Wei Youfu timidly. His delicate face studied Han Fei surreptitiously. Joy shone in his eyes.
"If you didn't come back soon, we were going to go out to look for you." Wei Youfu looked at Han Fei and sighed in relief.
Seeing Wei Youfu and Little Eight run out to welcome him, Han Fei did not know how to react. He had only seen similar scenes on television since he was young.
Before playing this game, he would never come home with any expectations. He would open the door silently with the key in his hand and be greeted by darkness.
No one would turn on the lights for him, no one would open the door for him and no one would run out to welcome him with joy.
Han Fei sent Xu Qin home first. He prepared some simple food for Xu Qin in her room. After Xu Qin's condition improved, he left.
Returning to Room 1044, Han Fei sat on the sofa and told Wei Youfu and the other victims about his experience over the past few days. The victims of the human jigsaw case would attract something when they left the Happiness Neighbourhood so everyone was very interested in Han Fei's story.
As they listened to Han Fei's story, it was as if they were the main character of the story. Whenever they heard the most dangerous part, their expressions would change according to Han Fei's tone.
Inside the small room, a man holding a torch danced and tugged at the hearts of several ghosts.
At 5 am, Han Fei finished his story but Wei Youfu was like a nagging father, reminding Han Fei not to take any more risks.
Just as he was about to log off, the phone in the room suddenly rang.
Han Fei's expression changed instantly. He took out the Blade of Rebirth. Wei Youfu, on the other hand, was calm. He answered the call.
"Relax, do you still remember the motel next to Yi Ming Convenience Store?"
"I remember."
"The old man's yearning merged with the phone line to form a unique cursed object. To facilitate communication, we connected his yearning to the Happiness Neighbourhood." Even though Wei Youfu was weak, he managed to retain his intelligence and humanity.
After a short chat, Wei Youfu hung up. He frowned and walked to the window with Han Fei.
The two looked out of the neighbourhood. At the entrance of Yi Ming Convenience Store stood a scary woman over 2 metres tall in a red wedding dress!
"Is that her?"
Han Fei still remembered this woman. On the first day he was hired as a worker at Yi Ming Convenience Store, this woman once invited the paper doll boss to the Ziggurat with her.
It was because she took the paper doll away that Han Fei had the chance to steal the coffin.
At the crucial moment, Han Fei tricked the paper doll boss and at the same time, he tricked the woman in the wedding dress.
She paid a great price to convince the paper doll boss to help, but in the end, the paper doll boss's consciousness dissipated.
Just imagining that scene, Han Fei could feel the woman's helplessness and despair.
"She's not dead? She even went out of her way to find her? "
"How did you manage to get her attention? Is there a story between the two of you? "Wei Youfu glanced at Han Fei. Han Fei was indeed one of the most handsome men in Room 1044.
"Looks like I need to go to the convenience store, Drake won't be able to deal with her alone." Han Fei ran out the moment he reached home and dragged Weep with him.
10 minutes later, Han Fei pushed open the convenience store's door.
There were ten white candles placed side by side on the shelf, and one of them was crying the most miserably. It kept badmouthing the store manager, and even subconsciously flattering the bridal gown woman. It was just short of calling her its godmother.
Perhaps because it was too engrossed, when the other candles closed their mouths, this one continued to scream. Drake tried to interrupt it several times but was stopped by the woman in the wedding dress.
The candle continued to scream until it noticed the woman's eyes slowly moved away from it. Out of curiosity, it turned to look behind it.
Han Fei stared at it silently with a pale face. He was fiddling with a lighter in his hand.
The human face on the candle froze. Its eyes slowly moved around. The candles on both sides had already shut their mouths.
"It's not that we're not loyal, it's fate's lighter that has forced us to lower our heads."
Han Fei lit the candle and placed it on the lampstand. Then he stood on top of the woman in the wedding dress.
The woman in the wedding dress looked down at Han Fei. Her face that was covered in make-up stared right into Han Fei's eyes. She did not seem to understand why all the ghosts at the convenience store would feel so safe when they saw Han Fei.
In her memory, Han Fei had just become an intern here a few days ago.
"I'm the acting manager here, my name is Han Fei." With a standard commercial smile on his face, Han Fei's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. There was no trace of fear or panic. "You seem to have some kind of promise with the previous manager?"
The woman had no idea why Han Fei would become the acting manager but that was not important. She was here to demand an explanation.
She tossed a bloodied handkerchief on the counter. Han Fei picked it up and studied it closely. "The previous manager promised to enter Room 1064 with you but he failed to fulfill his promise and almost caused your death. Since the previous manager has already taken part of your payment, the responsibility is entirely on us. "
Han Fei's expression was one of deep regret. He put the handkerchief away solemnly. "The previous manager has already disappeared. We have no idea where he has gone but we will not run away from our responsibility. We will continue to help you complete the things that he failed to do!"
The woman in the wedding dress did not know what to do. She was ready to fight but things appeared to be different from her expectation.
"Yi Ming Convenience Store has always prioritized the interests of its customers. We know the Ziggurat is very dangerous but we failed to do it. We will accompany you into Room 1064 again but we hope you can give us some time."
Han Fei took a deep breath and said with sincerity, "In 10 days' time, we will accompany you into Room 1064 again. We will do everything we can to get what you want. To increase the success rate, we hope you can provide us with more information about the Ziggurat. "
He was as weak as an ant but he had the courage to take on the responsibility and make a decision that was out of the ordinary.
Perhaps it was Han Fei's -13 charm, the bloodlust around the woman dissipated slightly.
She thought about it for a long time before removing the bloodied bridal veil. She placed it on the counter. Then she opened her scarred lips and uttered a time.
"I'll come find you in 7 days."
The woman turned and left the convenience store while Han Fei picked up the red veil from the cashier.
The word 'death' was written in the middle of the veil. The word itself represented some kind of curse, it appeared like it could bring one into the Ziggurat.
"Manager, are we really going to help her? She's going to the Ziggurat! "Drake was worried.
"The customer is God, we have to try our best to satisfy the customer's request."
"But what if she's just using us as bait?"
"Don't worry, I have my plans." Han Fei silently put the red veil away. "The customer is God but God lives in heaven."
