Inside the mirror was a blood red world. Minced meat, fresh blood and monsters made from the victims' bodies filled up the room.
Even though there was no such gory scene in real life, the monsters were real. Han Fei could already feel the terror and pressure.
The smell of blood thickened in the air. Even though he was soaking in warm water, Han Fei felt like he was bathing in blood.
On the television in the living room, the warm memories of the victims had disappeared. Their beautiful past was slowly replaced by the child's nightmare.
The little people scurried through the dark forest. In the end, they were all dragged back into the dark wooden house.
The monster in the mirror grew larger and the human face at the monster's heart became clearer.
It was a girl's face. She looked quite young. There was no complicated emotion on her face, it was as clean as a piece of white paper.
'She's the 8th victim? The 8th with no record? '
Han Fei imprinted the girl's face into his mind. This was one of the most important clues to solve the case.
The mist in the bathroom thickened and the scary monster slowly appeared in the mirror.
When it was fully pieced back together, it would resemble the complete body that Han Fei encountered during the television mission.
After witnessing the victims being dismembered and reassembled into a scarier monster, this was beyond a normal person's imagination. It pulled at Han Fei's mental threshold.
His body shook uncontrollably but even at that moment, Han Fei did not forget Wei Youfu's request.
He stood alone inside the bathroom. The monster started to appear outside the mirror. The body that was pieced together in the mist was right behind him.
'How should I help her?'
The 8th victim was like a princess sleeping inside the monster's body. Only after the other 7 victims were dismembered would she appear together with the monster.
From another perspective, this girl who looked the most flawless and beautiful was actually the ugliest and scariest monster. They appeared to be one and the same.
Wei Youfu only wanted Han Fei to help the girl but he did not tell Han Fei how to do it.
As the monster was pieced back together, the girl's face was slowly covered by flesh and blood. She was about to be swallowed up by the victims' bodies.
Watching as the girl slowly disappeared and the monster slowly became whole, Han Fei knew he had to do something, he had to do something.
Turning around, Han Fei stared directly at the monster that had taken up almost the whole toilet. He made a crazy decision.
His hands pierced into the flesh. Resisting the nauseating feeling, Han Fei pried open the limbs that covered the girl's face. He wanted to pull the girl out from the monster's body!
He was saving people, but his hands were stained with blood. Some belonged to others, and some belonged to himself.
The sharp broken bones sliced through his arms. Pain and fear tormented his every nerve but Han Fei did not dare stop. More and more flesh gathered on the girl's face. To help the child, Han Fei dug deeper and deeper into the girl's face.
He had never seen so much blood, and he had never experienced such a terrifying experience. He forced himself not to think about anything else, afraid that he would collapse if he paused for even a moment.
Pieces of flesh were dug out. Han Fei's body was soaked in blood. However, his movements were getting better and faster.
Gradually, Han Fei dug the girl's head and shoulders out of the monster.
Tiny blood vessels were pulled out one by one. Han Fei's mind was blank. He repeated the same action mechanically until the electronic clock outside the room chimed.
Dawn arrived at 4 am. Even though it was still dark outside the window, the healing speed of the flesh was noticeably slower. The girl who looked like a sleeping beauty's eyelashes fluttered like she was trying to open her eyes.
Han Fei immediately picked up his speed. His feet stepped on the flesh. His whole body was soaked in blood. Slowly, he dug out one of the girl's arms.
The water fog had already been replaced by blood. When Han Fei reached for the arm and prepared to pull the girl out from the monster, the sleeping girl slowly opened her eyes.
Han Fei had not seen eyes like that before. The girl before him appeared to have no memory or emotion. Her eyes were as clear as a newborn's.
"I'm here to save you."
Inside the hell on earth, Han Fei looked into the girl's eyes and held on to her arm.
He had no idea whether the girl could understand him or not, all he wanted to do now was to pull the girl out from the monster's body.
The girl looked at Han Fei blankly. She looked at her surroundings. She did not understand anything. There was no Han Fei in her eyes, there was only the reflection of the world.
The regeneration of the flesh slowed down but when Han Fei dug out the girl's other arm, he stopped.
The girl's torso was pierced through by many black threads. They were completely entwined with the monster's flesh. Brute force was not enough to separate them.
"Do you know what those black threads inside your body are?" Just as Han Fei's hand touched the threads, his brain was hit by waves of dizziness. A wave of malice and despair rushed into his mind.
The girl could not understand what Han Fei was saying. She appeared to have gotten used to being trapped inside the monster's flesh, this was the only normal world for her.
"What is your name? Do you still remember who turned you into this? "
Han Fei had no idea how to get rid of the black threads so he changed his angle. He tried to get as much information from the girl as he could.
Even if he could not help them, as long as he could capture the killer, then he would be able to avenge all the victims.
The girl inside the monster still did not answer. She looked around before her eyes were attracted by the television in the living room.
The little people were dragged back into the wooden hut. They cried silently. The whole forest was silent.
The dark images, the dark night, the dark house. The girl looked at it all. She seemed to be reminded of something. She mumbled intermittently like she was singing a very short song.
"Daddy hugged mommy's head, he said he would use mommy's hair to make me a new dress.
"Good children will be rewarded, bad children will be sent to the canteen.
"You should laugh, you should cry, you should not make a fuss, you should listen to daddy's teachings.
"Big brother and big sister were sent far away, little brother and little sister were left behind.
"I put on daddy's new dress, he said I was still missing a pair of wings."
As soon as the girl finished her last sentence, the strange scene on the television screen changed. Countless fireflies flew out of the dark forest. They used their weak bodies to bring light.
The monster inside the bathroom started to melt. The girl's body was dragged back into the flesh by the black threads.
Han Fei tried his best to stop it but he could not.
"The 8th victim's time of death was 4 am, she died at dawn." Han Fei memorized the girl's last song. He turned back to the television. "The forest, the dark house, little brother and little sister, new dress, wings …"
With all the key information gathered together, Han Fei now had a lot of clues that the police did not have.
