Opening his eyes, Han Fei was surrounded by paper dolls. The storeroom of Yi Ming Convenience Store had been turned upside down. Various items littered the floor like it had been ravaged by a storm.
Feeling the coolness on the landlord's ring, Han Fei slowly took out the Blade of Rebirth. Like a cheetah in hunting mode, he lowered his body and hid behind the racks.
Han Fei slowly approached the place where the chill came from. He moved aside the toppled shelves and found a stick of white wax covered in dust at the bottom of the pile.
"You're still alive?" When his fingertip touched the candle, the system gave Han Fei the identification result. This candle was fated to be Han Fei's companion.
Seeing Han Fei, a bitter face appeared on the white candle. "Manager, I've been looking forward to seeing you!"
"You're hoping that I'll die soon, aren't you?" Han Fei took out the lighter and then asked the candle, "What happened inside the store? How come I don't see anyone else? "
"The song appeared on the street, it entered the store to take a look." The candle's face was filled with fear when he thought back to that scene.
"It only took a look and the store became like this?" Han Fei was confused. "Don't tell me you're the one who lured the song here?"
"I don't think I'm that capable." The candle smiled bitterly. "You must be prejudiced against me."
"But if it wasn't you, why are you the only one alive? Where are the others?"
"After Drake heard the song, he immediately ran away with the souls of the workers and the important products." The candle said pitifully. "I was abandoned."
Staring at the candle's pitiful face, Han Fei's interest was piqued. "I'm curious, how did you survive the song?"
"Perhaps I'm too weak." Compared to the song, the candle was more afraid of Han Fei.
"I hope you're not lying to me this time." Han Fei did not believe the candle at all. He shoved the candle into his pocket and silently left Yi Ming Convenience Store.
Han Fei walked across the street and prepared to enter Happiness Neighbourhood when he noticed the altar next to the entrance had changed.
The thick black cloth was pulled back and something inside the altar was bleeding.
When Han Fei was about to approach it, the black cloth on the altar slid down and covered the altar.
'Is there really a guardian spirit living inside?'
If the other party was unwilling to meet Han Fei, Han Fei wouldn't force him.
Because he was worried about the safety of the neighbors in the building, he did not waste any time and directly entered the neighborhood.
Blood-stained soil and various kinds of clothes were scattered on the ground. Rusty fitness equipment was twisted and tangled together. The vines that covered the exterior walls of the building had withered, and the corpses hidden inside had all turned into white bones.
"The song has entered the Happiness Neighbourhood again?"
Han Fei's heart skipped a beat. He rushed into Apartment 1 and yelled the names of all the neighbours inside. He knocked heavily on the door of Room 1044.
A few minutes later, the thick anti-theft door was opened. Wei Youfu, who had no combat power at all, appeared at the door. "Don't worry, everyone is fine."
Wei Youfu already knew what Han Fei was going to ask. "Other than me, everyone else hid at the primary school across the street. Thankfully you mentioned us to the Lingering Spirits from that school. They know Weep and Lee Zai, or else we really wouldn't know where to hide. "
Knowing that everyone was fine, Han Fei was obviously relieved. "This song hasn't appeared for a long time. Why did it suddenly appear this time? It's even more thorough than the last time. "
"The song's target should be Little Eight. The previous manager said Little Eight is the key. Normal ghosts won't be able to reach that level but for the unspeakable, Little Eight has a strong attraction." Wei Youfu did not hide anything.
"Little Eight has been staying at the Happiness Neighbourhood for a long time, how come nothing happened to him? Could it be because … I separated the eight of you because the eight of you were mixed together? "
"I don't think so. It probably has something to do with the previous manager. To prevent Little Eight from being discovered by other ghosts, he set up many things around the neighbourhood. For example, the plants that he planted on the walls and the altar at the entrance. But after his disappearance, those things gradually lost their effect. " Wei Youfu sighed. "Soon, Little Eight's presence will be exposed and the Happiness Neighbourhood will no longer be safe."
"That's fine, we'll just hide somewhere else. There's always a solution." After hearing Wei Youfu's words, Han Fei felt the pressure.
The victims of the human jigsaw case were Han Fei's family in the cryptic world. When Han Fei was still very weak, they endured the torture of losing control and accepted Han Fei into their family.
Haunted House 1044 was a place that most people would avoid but for Han Fei, it was filled with memories of home.
He had not experienced those things since he was young so the mundanity that others took for granted was one of his most precious memories.
It was because of this that Han Fei resonated with the victims at the haunted house.
"The song has entered the Happiness Neighbourhood twice, it'll return soon. We need to prepare as soon as possible." Han Fei told Wei Youfu about Cattle Alley and then his plan to enter the Ziggurat. If Cattle Alley could not stop the song, then he would lure it to the Ziggurat.
The song's name was unspeakable, his neighbours in the cryptic world did not even dare talk about it. However, Han Fei was already planning how to weaken it and then find a chance to deal with it once and for all.
'Huang Yin has to fend off the butterfly's invasion in real life and the song is still searching for Little Eight, I don't have the time to level up.' Han Fei initially planned to level up to 15 before going to the Ziggurat but now he had no choice but to change his plan. He planned to head towards the Ziggurat that day.
As he moved forward, he levelled up. Since there was no turning back, he might as well keep moving forward.
"Take a good rest here, I need to make a trip to Yi Ming Private Academy."
Han Fei hurried to the academy. Once he entered the school, he saw Zhang Guanxing hiding at the entrance.
"Sir!" He ran to Han Fei's side, he was very happy.
Han Fei treated Zhang Guanxing as his student but Zhang Guanxing sensed the fatherly love that was missing from Han Fei.
"Where are the people from the Happiness Neighbourhood?"
"Everyone is fine. When the song appeared, Jin Sheng woke up as well. He hid the presence of the school." Zhang Guanxing told Han Fei everything.
Normally, the ghosts at the Happiness Neighbourhood and Yi Ming Private Academy would not have any interaction but the appearance of the song enlightened them.
Before the unspeakable presence, everyone was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, there was no point in killing each other.
"Where is Jin Sheng now?" Coincidentally, Han Fei wanted to meet Jin Sheng, the boy who was covered in ghost stories. He radiated a strange presence.
After the previous manager's treatment, Jin Sheng was more like a cursed object than a ghost.
If Han Fei could convince Jin Sheng to enter the Ziggurat with him, then his chance of survival would be greatly increased. After all, Jin Sheng was the manager of a hidden map, Han Fei was a ghost with the talent of a manager.
"He's still at the infirmary but Jin Sheng is acting strangely, you'd better prepare yourself before you meet him." Zhang Guanxing said carefully with fear in his eyes.
