Walking out from the bedroom, Han Fei was still confused. However, he would get the answers to those questions when he met the boy's parents in person.
Han Fei remembered that the system used 'they' as the subject of the notification. From this point alone, Lai Sheng's parents should still be in Room 4064.
Entering the living room, Han Fei studied the room with many mirrors. He headed towards the bedroom where the boy's mother slept.
"Don't wake her." The boy jogged to Han Fei's side and once again blocked Han Fei's way. The boy was young but he was very stubborn. The seed of obsession had probably been planted in his heart since he was young. If there was no one to watch over it and guide it properly, the Seed of Obsession might grow into something terrifying.
"Actually, I'm here to look for something that I've lost. Don't worry, I mean you no harm and I won't wake your mother." Han Fei squatted down and said in an unusually gentle voice, "I'm just going to open the door to take a look. If the person I'm looking for is not inside, then I'll leave immediately."
Seeing the boy still blocking his way, a trace of sadness slowly seeped out from the smile on Han Fei's face.
His acting was perfect, it was neither fake nor pretentious. It was perfect for the boy to sense the pain hidden behind his smile. "You've been waiting for your father and I've been waiting for my child. You should understand how it feels to miss someone, right? It's like swallowing a block of ice and then trying to warm it up with your heart before crying hot tears. "
Hearing that, the boy slowly lowered his open arms. "Your child has also gone to a faraway place?"
Taking in a light breath, Han Fei maintained the gentle smile on his face but anyone could see a soul that was gritting its teeth behind the smile.
"Tonight is the night of the Returning Soul. My child has returned but I've noticed he seems to have lost his way." Han Fei was a grown man but the helplessness of a grown man was even more touching.
"You came into my home to look for your child?" The boy could empathize with Han Fei. His father was about the same age as Han Fei. If he was lost, his father would do everything in his power to look for him.
With his lips pursed, the boy thought about it for a long time. In the end, he did not stop Han Fei. "Then please don't make any noise to wake my mother. She has been preparing for this day for a whole year. If my father does not return because of us, she will be very upset and angry."
The boy was kind, he had many qualities that were rare in the Ziggurat.
As if worried about Han Fei, he sneaked into his mother's bedroom. He grabbed the doorknob and used the lightest movement to turn it.
Han Fei's heart skipped a beat. Finally, he was going to face 4064's real owner. He hoped the 10 points of friendliness would come in handy.
Both Lai Sheng and Han Fei stared at the doorknob. Just as the door was about to open, a knock came from the living room!
The voice gave Han Fei a fright.
The boy quickly let go of his hand. There was a trace of excitement on his pale face as he muttered softly, "Is my daddy back?!"
Without bothering to open the door, he pulled Han Fei to hide behind the sofa.
The knocking wasn't loud, mainly because the house was too quiet, so it could be heard very clearly.
"Does your father usually knock like this?" Several seconds later, Han Fei noticed something was wrong. Initially, the knocking was done with a finger, but it slowly turned into a palm. The palm appeared to be bleeding. When the hand landed on the door, it felt like a layer of skin was sticking to the outside of the door.
"No, my father rarely knocks. He usually says things like 'open the door', 'I'm home' or 'I'm off work'."
"Then this might not be your father. Summoning spirits will attract other things."
"Like you?"
"No, I'm not here to summon spirits. I work inside this building." Han Fei had the boy hide behind him as he slowly approached the living room door. "If he keeps knocking like this, it might attract other things."
Han Fei walked to the door and leaned through the peephole to look outside. There was a man standing outside the door. His head was lowered and he was wearing a red shirt!
"A Soul Chaser?" Han Fei had seen many people in red shirts in the Ziggurat. He had even taken the same elevator as them.
"Let me take a look too." The boy's face was filled with anticipation.
Han Fei carried the boy to the peephole. Lai Sheng stared for a long time before the anticipation on his face turned to fear. "That's not my father!"
"Are you sure? His head is lowered, you can't see his face. "
"I'm sure." The boy nodded heavily.
"Then let's not open the door for him. Let's hide in the living room for now." As Han Fei said that, the knocking suddenly stopped.
"Has the man left?"
"Let me take another look." The knocking had indeed stopped but there were other faint noises coming from outside the door. Han Fei leaned against the door and looked out through the peephole.
The man in the red shirt was indeed gone, but he could clearly see a pair of footprints among the ashes of the paper money on the ground. The bowl of white rice had also been flipped over. It was unclear whether it was blood or something else that had dripped into it, but it looked completely red.
"Looks like he's left." Han Fei sighed in relief. He was now very resistant to Soul Chasers. They appeared to have lost all humanity and were completely dominated by the Ziggurat.
Turning around, Han Fei was about to lead the boy into the living room when he noticed the boy had his head tilted up at an exaggerated angle to stare at the ceiling.
"Above my head? The soul ladder! "
Han Fei immediately realized something. He turned to look above his head. A man covered in blood was crawling out from the window at the top of the door. He stuck to the ceiling like a giant gecko!
The face that was covered in death curses stared at Han Fei and Lai Sheng. His mouth opened and a bloody tongue reached straight for Lai Sheng's neck!
"Get back to the bedroom!"
Han Fei shoved the boy away. He picked up the Blade of Rebirth and slashed upwards!
The glaring blade sliced through the man's tongue. There was no resistance and the whole process happened in the blink of an eye.
The tongue that fell to the ground twisted like a loach. The man's face that was covered in death curses slowly turned to look at Han Fei.
He did not expect his tongue to be so easily severed by a blade. Even the Death Curse could not repair the wounds that were cut by the Blade of Rebirth.
While the man was still stunned, Han Fei carried the boy and rushed into the living room.
"Go find your mother and tell her that Evocation has summoned something else! A ghost has entered your house! "
The boy was filled with anticipation. He wanted to see his father first, but instead of seeing his father, he saw a Red Specter.
He ignored the Evocation Ritual and hurried to the bedroom. However, no matter how hard he tried, the door would not open.
To buy time for the boy, Han Fei stood between the boy and the man in the red shirt. The ghost tattoo on his body slowly radiated with Yin energy. A large nine-lives cat appeared on his back.
