Ying Yue, who lived on the 8th floor, was Han Fei's trump card. The little girl had not used her full power before Han Fei so no one knew what her power was.
As the eyes on the walls of the room opened, an incomparably oppressive aura enveloped everyone in the room.
The cat-faced monster inside the Cage of Despair finally realized something was wrong. It dropped the dying vet to the ground and looked around cautiously.
Being watched by the pairs of eyes, the light in the room twisted. Ying Yue walked out from the absolute darkness.
Her small body hid a power that was completely different from other Resentment Spirits. The two dark holes on her face stared at the cat-faced monster.
Black blood leaked out from her skin. Ying Yue pointed at the cage and tears of blood flowed out from her eyes.
Screams and wails echoed in the room. After the tears of blood flowed out, the eyes in the darkness slowly closed. The two dark holes on Ying Yue's face were dyed red with blood.
There appeared to be a blood red world hidden in the darkness. Anyone who looked into Ying Yue's eyes would be sucked into that world!
Ying Yue, who had been living in the darkness, had never felt the light. Her heart hid a dark world made up of fear and torture.
There was no light, no love, no family, and no friends. There was only endless pain, like a nightmare!
"Ah!"
The cat-faced monster screamed. Its sharp claws pierced through its own head.
It felt something inside its head was leaving its body but it was powerless to stop it. It tried its best to stop it but in the end, all it did was inflict wounds on itself.
This was also the first time Han Fei had seen Ying Yue use her full power. Ying Yue's power was strange. It was not a curse, it was not Yin energy and it did not contain any negative emotions. She appeared to be able to pull other people's consciousness into the world inside her eyes.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate. Ying Yue's body shook violently. Seeing this, Han Fei and the other neighbours immediately joined in.
Weep shrunk the Cage of Despair into chains. Li Nan attacked from the front to distract the cat-faced monster. Han Fei took out the Blade of Rebirth and added new wounds on the monster.
'You still can't control it without help?'
The wounds on its body increased. When the cat-faced monster was cornered, its sharp claws pierced into its body again and tore through its skin.
Its aura became stronger, but the wound left by the Life Rebirth Saber couldn't heal.
A roar came from its mouth, and its scarlet eyes shed tears of blood. Ying Yue's body was reflected in its eyes, and it looked like her soul was about to be sucked away.
The blood vessels all over its body expanded, and the monster's body grew taller. It did not attack the people in the room but slammed its arms into the ground!
"Bang!"
The floor cracked layer by layer, and the pungent smell of blood and rot rose from the ground, almost tearing the roof off.
"There's another floor under the pet shop?"
The scene in front of them was shocking. There was a corpse pit buried under the pet shop, and there were all kinds of animal corpses piled up in it. Most of them had been pieced together, and there were stitch marks on their bodies.
To Han Fei's surprise, there were quite a number of pets that were not completely dead. Their remnant souls were attached to the carcasses, struggling in pain.
The cat-faced monster's gigantic body fell into the pit of corpses. Broken bodies splattered everywhere. It picked up the corpses and pressed them against the wounds on its body.
Normal wounds would merge with the 'pet carcasses' and heal instantly, but the wounds left by the Life Rebirth Saber would not heal no matter how hard it tried.
"Its presence is growing!" With Han Fei's command, all the neighbours swarmed forward.
No one in the room was a match for the cat-faced monster in a one-on-one fight. Only the Grade F Butcher's Rebirth Saber could handle its incredible regenerative ability. However, Han Fei who wielded the Butcher's Rebirth Saber had too much stamina compared to the cat-faced monster. Han Fei probably wouldn't even stand a chance against the monster.
Weep and Li Nan created opportunities for Han Fei. Han Fei used the Blade of Rebirth Saber to carve out new wounds. The cat-faced monster that was weakened by Han Fei was slowly losing its ability to resist Ying Yue's power. Something inside its body was about to be sucked into Ying Yue's eyes.
"Don't give it the chance!"
The high-intensity battle lasted for a full 20 minutes, and the cat-faced monster was finally unable to endure the constant tug-of-war.
The stitches on its heart and skull all burst open. A black lingering spirit that looked like a kitten was shoved into Ying Yue's blood red eye socket.
The scream disappeared instantly. The cat-faced monster's large body froze. Everyone turned to look at Ying Yue.
In the world that belonged to her eyes, a black cat covered in scars was howling fiercely until Ying Yue closed her eyes.
After a long time, Ying Yue's closed eyes leaked out tears of blood. It was as if her eyes were scratched by the cat.
She walked towards Han Fei. She grabbed Han Fei's arms and pressed down on the ghost tattoo on Han Fei's body.
"It will hurt a little." Ying Yue said strangely. She stared at Han Fei's back and opened her eyes.
Han Fei had no idea what was happening behind him. When he tried to turn around, it felt like his back was being scorched by a hot iron. The searing pain caused Han Fei to bite down on his lips so hard that blood came out.
Moments later, the pain disappeared. The weakened Ying Yue appeared to be unable to maintain her soul form anymore.
"Ying Yue?"
Looking behind him, Han Fei noticed the ghost tattoo on his body had changed. The ghastly face was bitten by a large black tiger.
"The cat has been tortured many times, it's hard to kill. I can only trap it inside your ghost tattoo for now. That should be able to help you." Ying Yue walked towards Weep's urn. "When it can no longer harm you, you can release it."
Ying Yue then turned back into the urn.
Reaching out to touch the ghost tattoo, Han Fei heard the system notification.
"Notification for Player 0000! You've obtained Grade F Beginner Ghost Tattoo — Nine Lives.
"Nine Lives Ghost Tattoo: Flesh and Blood Curse Resistance + 5, this tattoo can help you resist 9 fatal wounds.
"Notification for Player 0000! You've completed Grade G Hidden Mission — Adopt a Pet! Obtained 1 Free Skill Point! Obtained Pet — Nine Lives!
"Nine Lives (Flesh and Blood Pet): Between Grade G and Grade F, it has a strong regenerative ability and a body that is almost indestructible!
"Loyalty: Zero."
"Hidden Talent: Unknown (Unlocked when loyalty exceeds 50)
"Additional reward for obtaining a pet for the first time — Grade G Active Ability — Pet Taming
"Pet Taming (Level-G Upgradeable Ability): Only by mastering the basic theory of pet training and adopting the correct training method can the training work be more predictable and scientific, thus achieving twice the result with half the effort."
Reading the mission details, Han Fei did not expect to obtain his first pet just like that. After all, he had no experience in taming a pet before this.
'Does this count as having a cat?'
Han Fei communicated with the ghost tattoo patiently. His consciousness discovered the wounded kitten inside the tattoo. When he used Pet Taming to pat the kitten's head, the kitten's wounds tore open instantly. Its body swelled like it was trying to leap out from the tattoo to bite Han Fei's hand.
"What a cute little kitten. The first thing it wanted to do was to bite my hand off, not my neck. Even though its loyalty is zero, it's a kind soul, it's worth training. '
It was not easy to find a suitable pet in the underworld so Han Fei did not ask for too much.
'Raising loyalty from 0 to 1 is the hardest thing to do, I need to figure out a way to get it off to a good start.'
Then Han Fei turned to the dying vet. His gaze caused the vet to shiver in fear.
'You can't be saved anyway. Why don't you do something for me? That way, your death will be more worthwhile.'
With the thought of recycling, Han Fei used Soul-Depth Touch to drag the dying vet to the ghost tattoo.
