Han Fei did not help Weep with any mission so he was quite surprised when he heard the notification in his mind.
Everything was difficult at the beginning. Weep's painful past had caused him to close off his heart. Han Fei thought Weep was one of the most difficult neighbours to 'conquer' but after some real interaction, Han Fei realized Weep was not as scary as he appeared.
The ghosts in this world still carried a trace of human warmth.
'In the future, I'll figure out a way to make Weep smile.'
With that determination in his mind, Han Fei realized he was in a good mood.
He could not believe it. Now he no longer had to think about the depressing things in real life. Just the fact that his relationship with his neighbour had improved gave him a sense of satisfaction.
'Have I been neglecting too many things in the past? Bringing smiles to others, isn't that why I wanted to become a comedian in the first place?
My dream has never changed but on the road to realizing it, I've suffered more and more. In the end, I've even lost the ability to smile.
Han Fei turned to look at Room 1034 that was covered in talismans. Confusion rose in his heart.
'I'm trying to bring happiness to others but why do I feel pain on the stage in real life but I feel contentment in this apartment filled with dead people?'
Before this, Han Fei was too busy making money, appearing on camera and working on the show, he did not have the time to think about these things.
'Is it just because of the threat of death?'
He looked down the eerie staircase and his mind went back to the neighbours that he had encountered.
These people were not perfect, they either had physical or memory defects. If Han Fei wanted to have a better life inside the apartment, the best way was to heal his neighbours' pain and help them find their lost humanity.
"From a certain point of view, this seems to be a healing game."
Han Fei had stayed in the game for a long time that day. He knew the staircase was not safe. He was about to return when the door to Room 1031 suddenly opened.
"Come here quickly." The old lady appeared at the door. "What happened to you? Try not to stay in the staircase! "
The old lady sounded like she was talking to her disobedient child. Seeing Han Fei standing in the staircase, she quickly pulled Han Fei into her room. "Why did you run into Room 1034 again? Didn't I tell you that house was dangerous? "
He was kind and his words were full of concern. Sometimes, he sounded like he was nagging. It had been a long time since Han Fei heard such a caring voice.
"I knew something was wrong when I heard the sound from the opposite door, so I've been guarding the door, afraid that someone would run in again." Meng Si's house was lit with red candles. Once bitten, twice shy. She was always on guard against Weep. "You're such a brave child. Other people are trying to stay away from this place but you're running into it yourself? Are you tired of living? "
Hearing what Meng Si said, Han Fei was amused. "Granny, in fact, crying is not pure evil."
Han Fei told the old lady about Weep's life and everything that happened to him before his death. After the old lady heard him out, her expression was complicated. She was silent for a long time before she said, "The child is indeed pitiful but he is different from us, he is a ghost."
Meng Si regarded Han Fei as one of her own, but said that Weep was a ghost.
"Granny, don't you remember anything at all?" Under the illumination of the red candles, Han Fei hesitated for a long time before he chose to ask.
"What do you mean?" Meng Si had no idea what Han Fei was talking about.
"Actually …" Han Fei's fists tightened as he studied the old lady's face. In the end, he decided to answer the question. "Granny, you and Chen Chen died 10 years ago …"
Before Han Fei finished, most of the red candles in the room went out.
In the dim light, Meng Si's body was shaking. She leaned against the dining table. "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"
"In the Frozen Body Case 10 years ago, a mother found out that her adopted son had murdered someone. To give her son a chance to turn himself in, she hid the body."
"I know, I know all that …"
"The mother wanted to give her child a week's time, but before the week was up, the mother and her grandson were both killed. Their bodies were found in the freezer of the store." Han Fei spoke quickly. "After the killer killed the mother and the child, he did not stop. If we don't apprehend him soon, more people will die."
The red candles in the room all went out. The temperature in the room dropped. This kind of chill was different from other rooms. It felt more like being trapped inside a freezer. Even the blood vessels and heart inside one's body felt like they were about to freeze.
In the darkness, Meng Si's trembling became more and more violent. A face began to appear behind her head.
Han Fei did not expect his few words to cause such a huge change. He did not run away in fear. Instead, he gripped Meng Si's cold hands tightly. "Forgiveness will not make the murderer repent, he will only harm more people!"
Two scary arms soon reached out from behind the old lady's head. A monster appeared to be trying to crawl out from the old lady's head!
"The demon with bloody hands has probably turned his attention to the other children. A happy family has been sliced into pieces by a knife. We need to apprehend the killer as soon as possible!"
The temperature in the room dropped to freezing point. The once warm little room was now a mess.
The old lady's body shook violently. She was suffering from unimaginable pain. However, she seemed to remember something. Her kind face was filled with regret.
Following the appearance of the monster inside the old lady's head, Meng Si obviously remembered something.
'The mother must have seen something before she died. She wouldn't want her child to make more irreparable mistakes!'
It was Han Fei who had been holding the old lady's hand. After he said that, the old lady's hand suddenly tightened around Han Fei's grip.
The old lady's lips trembled like she was trying to say something. Han Fei leaned closer to the old lady and managed to make out a few words — Dong Hwa Ice Factory.
"Ice factory? I heard from the old lady's eldest son that Meng Si and Meng Chen's bodies were found inside the freezer! " Han Fei wanted to ask more questions when the bedroom door was pushed open. Chen Chen, who had his head lowered, saw Meng Si's state and he was scared to tears.
Hearing Chen Chen's cries, the monster inside the old lady's head slowed down.
Han Fei did not know what to do. He quickly switched on all the lights in the room and lit the candles.
When the lights came back on, the monster inside the old lady's head slowly disappeared.
It was as if nothing had happened. Only the old lady collapsed to the ground. Her face was pale.
'What is going on?' Han Fei carried the old lady to the sofa. He thought about it carefully.
'The neighbours who can communicate with each other seem to have forgotten that they're already dead. They don't even know they're ghosts.
They've lost part of their memory but at the same time, they've forgotten the pain. Could the monster inside Meng Si's head be the embodiment of that painful memory? Or is the monster inside Meng Si's head the real her? '
Looking at the old lady who had fainted on the sofa, Han Fei considered all the possibilities.
