Of all the victims in the human jigsaw case, Wei Youfu was the most unique one.
The killer used beauty to kill but Wei Youfu was too normal. There was nothing particularly attractive about him. Even though it was rude to say that, it was the truth.
Han Fei searched through all the information on the internet. According to the autopsy report, Wei Youfu's death was an accident. He stumbled into a murder case and the killer killed him in a panic.
However, there were some who disagreed. From the killer's modus operandi to his escape, the whole operation was meticulous. The slightest mistake and he would have been caught.
Such a meticulous madman would not have overlooked Wei Youfu's existence. Just like how the killer killed Cui Tianci and Cui Caiyi on the same night, some believed the killer had targeted Wei Youfu from the beginning.
In fact, they believed the killer targeted Ah Mei because of Wei Youfu.
The netizens had a point but there was no evidence to support it. Initially, Han Fei did not think much of it but after he saw Wei Youfu in the game, his opinion slowly changed.
Throughout Wei Youfu's life, he was ordinary and mediocre. He had never done anything that was out of line.
He loved his wife and father deeply. He worked hard without regret. No matter how tired he was, he would not complain. It was as if he was forever filled with hope for life.
There was something beautiful about a person like him, that was his heart, or rather, his soul.
Han Fei had no idea whether this was the killer's goal or not, he had no evidence. However, he remembered what he saw when he first visited Wei Youfu's home.
That was a detail that he almost missed. He found many Legos and puzzles on the cupboard in Wei Youfu's living room.
Legos were a type of puzzle toy from many years ago. This kind of plastic building block had bumps on one side and holes for the bumps on the other. There were about 1300 different shapes and each of them came in different colors. They could be pieced together to create an endless variety of shapes. They were known as the Magic Plastic Building Block.
As time went on, the number of children who played with Legos decreased but some adults still bought them for collection.
Both Wei Youfu and the killer were puzzle enthusiasts. However, Wei Youfu put together Legos while the killer put together lives.
For a moment, a strange thought crossed Han Fei's mind. Could the killer be Wei Youfu? Or someone who knew him well?
After all, one's appearance could be seen with one's eyes, and a model's information could be found on the Internet. However, whether a person had a beautiful and flawless soul could only be determined after making friends with them.
"The killer of the human jigsaw case is Wei Youfu's friend?"
Just as Han Fei was thinking, footsteps came from the innermost bedroom.
At 3.14 am, the seventh victim appeared.
This model, Gu Ye, was once very famous in the industry. His body was said to have a golden ratio, but unfortunately, he got into a car accident at the peak of his career.
He was saved, but his face was severely scratched. After plastic surgery, his career began to decline.
Among the seven victims, Gu Ye was the oldest. His appearance seemed to indicate that the night was about to pass and that something unforeseen was about to happen.
When Gu Ye walked past the bedroom door, Wei Youfu followed suit. All 7 victims sat on the living room sofa.
They stared at the television with their backs to Han Fei.
The image on the screen seemed to correspond to reality. Han Fei also noticed a problem.
When he was doing the television mission, he was watching a hellish cartoon. The drawing style was very strange and abstract, it felt like a child's nightmare.
At the time, it was the monster that accompanied him to watch the television. The 7 victims were pieced together. They were out of control, berserk, filled with despair and murderous intent.
Tonight's situation was different. The 7 victims appeared individually. Before they were pieced together into monsters, they appeared to retain a certain level of rationality. At least, they did not have the blatant desire to kill Han Fei like they did before.
Time ticked by. As the temperature in the room dropped to freezing point, the image on the television screen finally changed.
In real life, Wei Youfu was still sitting on the sofa but in the television, he picked up the picture frame from the table and started to wipe it gently.
He pointed at the silhouette in the frame and leaned over to Ah Mei's side. On the screen, Ah Mei tried to push him away shyly, but after a few tries, she gave up. She seemed to be scolding Wei Youfu in a low voice, but her eyes were filled with happiness.
The other victims also stood up to do their own things. Xiao Qing loved cooking. The siblings, Tian Ci and Cai Yi, were bickering. The younger brother, Tian Ci, could not win against his sister in a verbal argument. He was so angry that he was about to cry.
The female host, Zhang Lingfan, put on her make-up in front of a small mirror. The oldest, Gu Ye, took out a beer from the fridge. He listened to music in his headphones and downed the beer.
The television should be playing the victims' only beautiful memory. This last bit of happiness was slowly fading away. They watched it again and again as if they did not want to forget it.
They had also enjoyed beauty and happiness.
"After the monster appears, the television will play a nightmarish show. When the victims are separated from each other, the television will play their own beautiful memory."
The world outside the Haunted House was moving towards a stranger and more dangerous direction but inside the Haunted House, everything was peaceful.
Han Fei hid inside the quilt and observed everything silently. The more he understood, the more uncomfortable he felt.
As an actor, he was good at observing other people's emotions. Therefore, he could empathize with the victims' emotions.
"No one wants to be a monster."
Han Fei glanced at the electronic clock on the wall, it was 3: 30 am.
The bathing mission had to be completed before 4 am, he did not have much time left.
At 3: 35 am, Han Fei made a very brave decision. He slowly pulled back the quilt.
If one woke up in the middle of the night to find 7 ghosts sitting in the living room watching television, most people would be scared out of their wits. Some would choose to call the police or run out of the house or continue to pretend to sleep under the quilt.
But Han Fei's reaction was different from all the above. He chose to walk out of the bedroom to watch television with the 7 ghosts.
The monsters could not communicate with each other, the only way to understand each other was when the victims were separated from each other.
The sleeping mission was completed and the gaming time was already over 3 hours. Han Fei tried to calm himself down and walked out of the bedroom.
The 7 victims were all watching themselves on the television, none of them paid Han Fei any attention.
He silently sat down at the end of the sofa. If one only looked at his back, he would have blended in perfectly.
Han Fei suffered from social anxiety and he was an orphan. He had never thought about how to communicate with his family because he had never experienced what it felt like to be part of a family.
Leaning against the sofa, Han Fei did not disturb the victims. He sat with them and accompanied them.
