Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Night Patrol Deity! (Second Update)

Pale hands gripped the dinner knife tightly, and as Xu Qin entered the house with the knife raised, Han Fei hurried over and firmly grasped her hand.

"Calm down, don’t be rash, this might be a misunderstanding!" Han Fei didn’t know what was going on with Huang Ying, who had chosen this particular moment, just as Xu Qin appeared, to reveal the truth: "That guy is not a ghost; he’s a person who ran here due to some special reasons."

After much persuasion, Han Fei managed to dissuade Xu Qin from laying Huang Ying on the dinner table.

"Let’s leave this place for now, it’s too dangerous."

The landlord’s ring had already issued a warning, and something very terrifying was hiding inside Building No. 2.

After calming Xu Qin down, Han Fei entered the house, grabbed Huang Ying’s arm, and attempted to carry him on his back, but as soon as his fingers touched the other person, he heard the system’s voice in his mind.

"Attention, Player 0000! Unknown Level Talent Soul-returning has been successfully triggered!"

"Soul-returning (Unknown Level Talent): Effect one, after encountering a lost wandering soul, send the lost wandering soul back to its body and receive a reward of one less malice."

"Effect two, kill the lost wandering soul and send your consciousness into the body that the wandering soul once inhabited! Enter the Night-wandering State! This can last up to ten minutes! Receive a reward of one added malice!"

"Night-wandering State: You can use the eyes of the deceased to see the night of another world."

"Attention, Player 0000! Unknown Level Talent Soul-returning has other unlockable effects. Use with caution!"

"Attention, Player 0000! You have successfully triggered the Unknown Level Talent Soul-returning! You’ve received an exclusive hidden mission—Night Patrol Deity!"

"Night Patrol Deity (Unknown Level Hidden Mission): Without time restrictions, after entering the Night-wandering State a hundred times, you will obtain the title of Night Patrol Deity, with the additional benefit Brain Power increasing by ten! The rest of the abilities associated with this title are unknown."

After touching Huang Ying’s body, Han Fei’s mind suddenly filled with a multitude of prompts, and he was very shocked.

The ability of the Soul-returning Talent to send lost souls back to their original bodies did not surprise Han Fei, but what shocked him was that the Soul-returning Talent could also kill wandering souls and then allow his consciousness to enter the body the wandering soul had once inhabited!

Although it could only exist for a brief ten minutes, it was still terrifying.

"Entering the Night-wandering State a hundred times and gaining the title of Night Patrol Deity, with Brain Power increased by ten is like levelling up ten times!" Han Fei couldn’t claim he wasn’t tempted; Attribute Points were the hardest thing to obtain in this world, not even directly rewarded by superior tasks set by managers. Obtaining Attribute Points could only be done by leveling up."

"An increase of ten in Brain Power is indeed hard to refuse, however..." Han Fei quickly calmed down, "This mission of becoming a Night Patrol Deity is simply luring me into committing crimes! To enter the Night-wandering State, I must kill wandering souls and take over bodies. Those souls with bodies are still living players!"

Just the thought of killing a hundred people to achieve a title made Han Fei’s scalp tingle.

"Entering the Night-wandering State also increases malice. Why do I feel like this talent is designed to draw out my dark side?"

Han Fei did not outright reject the second effect of the Soul-returning Talent, but he certainly wouldn’t harm the innocent.

After thinking it through rationally, Han Fei came up with a method to complete the hidden mission without violating his principles.

"The Night Patrol Deity patrols the night, supervising good and evil in the world. It seems I still need to assist the police in solving cases continuously. I need to personally deal with a hundred evil ghosts in human skin to truly deserve the title of Night Patrol Deity."

Mingmei’s father was a suitable candidate, but unfortunately, Han Fei’s level of Soul-summoning Talent was too low, which made success rates not high.

However, Han Fei was not discouraged by this; his "Perfect Life" was just beginning.

Carrying Huang Ying on his back, Han Fei felt somewhat relieved knowing he could send him back afterward.

"Sis, it’s time we went home."

Han Fei turned to look at Xu Qin, and only then did he realize that something was amiss. Xu Qin’s blood-red coat was enveloped by a black fog, and she was staring intently at a certain spot in the corridor.

"Someone from upstairs is coming down."

Thumping heartbeats echoed in the corridor, and Xu Qin quickly grabbed Han Fei’s hand, "Let’s go!"

They had just reached the fourth floor when their path downwards was already blocked.

A portly man whose half body was burned stood in the middle of the corridor, his eyes the size of mung beans greedily fixed on Han Fei and Huang Ying, "So he ran here."

With his mouth agape, revealing uneven teeth, the portly man charged forward with a fierce expression.

He raised the sharp knife in his hand, and a piercing laugh escaped his mouth; but before his knife could fall, a bloodstained dinner knife had already been thrust into his mouth.

Xu Qin’s speed was too fast for the portly man to react.

The body was cumbersome, yet compared to other ghosts and monsters, it seemed very hard to kill.

Having a sharp knife thrust into its mouth didn’t seem to affect it much; instead, it completely enraged it.

Black blood oozed from the scars, and the portly man grabbed the sharp knife and smashed it towards Xu Qin.

A flash of blood, and Xu Qin severed the hand of the portly man holding the knife, driving the Curse within the dinner knife into his body.

The previously doll-faced figure invaded by the Curse didn’t last even a second, yet this portly man temporarily withstood the Curse.

His throat was pierced; unable to speak, he could only emit a beast-like roar.

It was not difficult for Xu Qin to kill the portly man, but the heartbeat sound from upstairs was rapidly approaching, and she couldn’t kill the portly man quickly.

The sharp dinner knife continuously stabbed into the portly man’s body. While he protected all his vital points and was fully on guard against Xu Qin, a figure quietly approached and then suddenly accelerated, slamming into the portly man!

"You Outsiders, I’ll kill every one I see." Seeing the scars born from burns on the opponent, Han Fei immediately remembered the Outsider from Building One, vaguely recalling having seen this portly man in a group photo of Outsiders.

With old grudges and new hatreds intertwined, Han Fei decisively took action.

He used the ability "Touch the Depths of the Soul" for the first time. When he touched the portly man, a surge of violence and murderous intent invaded Han Fei’s mind.

Only pain and a thirst for slaughter remained in the Outsider’s soul, devoid of any humanity, seemingly existing only to wreak havoc.

At the moment of touch, both Han Fei and the portly man paused for about a fraction of a second; then, Han Fei’s strike caused the portly man to lose balance and Xu Qin seized the opportunity to chop off his head with the dinner knife.

Seizing the sharp knife from the portly man’s hand, as he fell to the ground, Han Fei mercilessly plunged it into his heart, finalizing the kill.

The intense fight drew out two more half-burned Outsiders. As Han Fei held the knife ready to battle, Xu Qin motioned for him to leave quickly.

"Don’t stop!"

Xu Qin cared not about the obstacles ahead but the heartbeat echoing in the corridor.

The heartbeat sounded like the beat of a drum in some ritual, and listening for long could make one’s own heartbeat sync with it.

It even created a terrifying illusion as if the heartbeat was emanating from one’s own chest.
