Chapter 100: Chapter 100 The Family of This World
Last time Han Fei tried to pull the girl out from the Monster’s body, but the Monster’s body collapsed halfway through.
He had been unable to understand why, but now he had figured out the reason.
The girl’s body and the bodies of seven victims were intertwined with each other. To pull the girl out of the Monster’s body without making the Monster disappear, he had to find "flesh" to replace the girl and fill the Monster’s body!
Ordinary "flesh" wouldn’t work, only the original remains of the victims could completely merge with it.
Holding the girl in one arm, Han Fei continuously placed the Human-body Puzzle fragments he found into the gaping wound in the Monster’s chest as he dragged the girl out.
The Puzzle fragments found by Han Fei were imbued with some of the victims’ emotions and humanity. The originally desperate and pained Monster, after merging with the Human-body Puzzle, gradually became less frenzied.
"Hold on to me! Don’t let go at any cost!"
Many people have played with puzzles, but using flesh to piece together a soul is an experience few have had.
There was a special relationship between the seven roommates and Han Fei. Their fragmented souls gradually became complete under Han Fei’s meticulous assembly.
When Han Fei had completely pulled the girl out of the Monster’s body, there was only one gap left in the Monster’s chest.
Taking out the seventh piece of the Human-body Puzzle from the Item Bar, Han Fei placed that fragment into the gap just before the Monster collapsed.
All the black-red blood vessels began to contract, and the ferocious Monster issued a pained roar. Its body was now complete, but the situation was still far from optimistic.
The towering Grudge Energy almost threatened to overturn the roof, turning all the pain and despair suffered by the seven victims in their lifetimes into their power.
"I finally understand why the Building Chief never completed their assembly. Their accumulated Grudge Energy could disrupt the balance of power within the building."
The surface of his skin felt as if it was freezing. Han Fei felt his consciousness almost being frozen, his body involuntarily pulled towards the Monster. If he didn’t stop the Monster soon, he might be killed by a slight movement from it.
"Wake up, all of you!"
Han Fei’s shout was futile. He opened the Attribute Panel and focused on the exit button.
But just as Han Fei was about to exit the game, the girl, who had been standing idly by with a mind as clean as a blank sheet of paper, suddenly walked toward the Monster at the center of the Grudge Energy.
Han Fei was too late to stop her, watching as the girl, barefoot, stopped next to the Monster and embraced the ferocious creature with attachment and reluctance.
To the girl, the Monster made up of the other seven victims was like her only family.
Under the girl’s soothing, the towering Grudge Energy slowly dissipated, and the Monster’s body began to undergo new changes.
The flesh reorganized, and a crack appeared on the Monster’s chest. Amid the horrifying sounds of bone shattering and flesh tearing, each victim crawled out of the Monster’s chest.
They emerged in the order of their deaths, and when the last one had crawled out, the originally enormous and terrifying Monster completely transformed into black smoke and dissipated.
In the modest-sized bedroom, all eight victims stood together, the towering Grudge Energy gradually vanished, seemingly concealed within their hearts.
"Player Number 0000, please note! You have successfully completed the F-Level task — Human-body Puzzle — across ranks! Earn triple Experience! Receive basic reward of one Free Skill Point, plus ten friendly degrees with Wei Youfu and other victims of the Human-body Puzzle case!"
"Player Number 0000, please note! Since you completed the F-Level task across ranks by personally piecing the victims’ souls together, you receive an additional rare reward — F-Level ability to touch the deep secrets of souls."
"Touching the Depths of the Soul (Low-level Common Ability, Upgradable with Skill Points): When the other party is not deliberately guarding against you, your hands can touch their regrets, grudges, and the bodies of ghosts and monsters, feeling the emotional fluctuations in their hearts."
"Player number 0000, please note! You have successfully upgraded to level seven! Add one Free Attribute Point!"
In a very short time, Han Fei successively skipped levels to complete two F-level missions.
The previous manager mission provided a rich experience reward, which directly helped Han Fei upgrade to almost level six, and now by skipping a level and completing another F-level mission, the system again gave him a triple experience reward, directly upgrading him to level seven.
"Touching the Depths of the Soul? This ability sounds impressive. If I can directly touch ghosts and monsters, wouldn’t I be able to do a lot of things while they’re not paying attention?"
Han Fei allocated the Free Skill Point he earned to the ’Touching the Depths of the Soul’ ability, upgrading it to low-level two, and then used the attribute points from the upgrade on Physical Strength, boosting it to ten.
The benefits of this F-level mission were not only in system rewards but also in many hidden rewards.
The eight roommates in the house no longer harbored any killing intent towards Han Fei; their looks were calm, as if they had completely accepted him.
Worthy of note were also two factors: the victims of the Human-body Puzzle found their incomplete humanity restored, and their strength generally surged, with Youfu being an exception.
The cold aura he emitted not only did not strengthen, but it also weakened significantly.
It seemed Youfu intentionally distributed his own power among the other victims while trying to control his emotions and consciousness, regaining the rationality originally his.
"Youfu?" Han Fei called softly.
Wei Youfu, with his head hung low, heard Han Fei’s voice and looked directly at him, even managing to squeeze out a forced smile. His pale lips trembled slightly before he spoke two words: "Thank you."
"You can communicate with me normally!" Han Fei was somewhat excited. Meng Shi and Xu Qin in the building could also maintain their sanity, but they achieved this by sealing some of their memories. Youfu’s situation was clearly different. Han Fei seemed to have accomplished something even the previous Building Chief had not.
Seeing Han Fei’s intense reaction, Youfu smiled again, nodded gently, and then began to try to control the Grudge Energy within him.
"Player number 0000, please note! You have gained Wei Youfu’s recognition, and your relationship has been defined as ’family’!"
The system’s voice suddenly sounded. Han Fei looked at his Attribute Panel, and under the family section in his life graph, he found all the victims’ names!
The efforts of this period were not in vain; his deeds were seen and remembered by his roommates.
"Family?"
Upon suddenly receiving the system notification, Han Fei was momentarily stunned. The word family, which was very familiar to many, felt somewhat foreign to him.
Upon hearing the words ’family,’ Han Fei was somewhat at a loss.
He had always tried every means to survive; truth be told, he was willing to risk his life to help the victims of the Human-body Puzzle in part so he could better keep himself alive.
Initially, Han Fei merely wanted to gain recognition, but when he truly completed the Human-body Puzzle mission, he realized that Youfu and the others had already considered him family.
"Did they never really plan to harm me at the start? Were they just worried they couldn’t control themselves?"
Scenes flashed through Han Fei’s mind, seven victims watching him hidden under the blankets in the living room, and eight people sitting together watching TV. These scenes, terrifying at the time, now conveyed a touch of warmth to Han Fei.
"Do I now have family as well?"
