Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Landlord’s Diary (Fifth Update, Request for Monthly Pass)

"Player number 0000, please note! You have triggered the Soul-returning Talent and successfully sent the Wandering Soul back to the body, reducing the Malice Value by one."

Hearing the system’s prompt, Han Fei completely relaxed. He glanced at his Attribute Panel; his Malice Value was now negative one.

He hadn’t yet figured out what this attribute was for, but according to his understanding of the Charm Attribute, negative values weren’t necessarily all bad.

After all, this was a game of the Underworld, and the rules of the Mortal World couldn’t always apply.

"Han Fei, what was the deal with that man just now? What he said moved me, but why did he head to the restroom afterward?" Meng Shi was somewhat confused.

"I don’t know either; it felt like he had a way out," Han Fei stroked his chin. "But I didn’t expect him to mistake Xu Qin for his mother; I guess it’s because a normal person undergoing such continuous shock would start seeing illusions."

Out of a sense of responsibility, Han Fei felt it would be good to meet Huang Ying in person after he logged off. He had a very good impression of this older brother.

"What do these things on his desk mean?" Meng Shi picked up the items on the table to take a look.

When Huang Ying left, it seemed to be out of gratitude toward Meng Shi. So he had taken out all the valuable items from his Item Bar, which also showed the old brother indeed was a man of sentiment.

Han Fei touched the items on the table, one by one, using the system to identify them.

Huang Ying was a casual player of life, leaving mostly useless items, which included handmade pastries, various toys, and a packet of flower seeds...

After one look, Han Fei found only two things that could be useful: a summary of basic Doctor skills and a set of surgical tools.

In "Perfect Life", skills couldn’t be directly learned. Like the summary of basic Doctor skills left by Huang Ying, a player needed to read and study them and then continuously practice. Only then could they possibly trigger the skills.

If one wanted to improve their abilities, they would need Skill Points, or they could keep practicing to increase proficiency. However, the proficiency needed for skill upgrades was incredibly high.

"Right now, I have only three active abilities, High-level Acting, low-level Culinary skills, and low-level Secret of Touching the Soul’s Depths. I feel like skill books are very rare in Deep World. In the future, I might obtain a lot of abilities from the Mortal World through this method and make them shine brightly in the Underworld."

Han Fei stored the book and surgical tools in his Item Bar. Then, he took some of the toys. As he left Meng Shi’s house, he also took a few flower seeds.

"I wonder if flowers from the Mortal World can bloom in the Underworld."

Stepping out of Meng Shi’s house, Han Fei went to see Cry, giving some Mortal World toys to the child who now disliked Han Fei less.

Back at the Haunted House 1044, Han Fei didn’t bother his roommate, sitting on the couch to carefully examine his Attribute Panel: "Soul-summoning and Soul-returning, these two talents are simply terrifying. Could these be the Exclusive Talents of the Black Box owner?"

After researching the talents, Han Fei discovered that he had already completed the prerequisites for that Hidden Profession he had triggered earlier. It seemed the system had attributed all the Outsiders killed by Xu Qin to him.

Han Fei had now seen quite a few big scenes; he hadn’t cared at first, but when he saw a particular Professional Characteristic of that Hidden Profession, he couldn’t stay calm anymore.

"Player number 0000, please note! You have completed the prerequisite task for the Hidden Profession Midnight Butcher! When you reach level ten, you can go to Beast Alley to acquire the profession."

"Midnight Butcher (Hidden Profession): Profession-exclusive abilities not unlocked."

"Professional Characteristics: Resistance to knife-type curse items increased by thirty!"

Han Fei had once received the blessing of the Mirror God on the seventh floor, giving him a certain resistance to mirror-type curse items. At that time, what he desired most was to gain resistance to knife-type curse items.

"No need to break iron shoes in a fruitless search, it comes without effort!"

Curse items continuously harm their owner, but they can also damage grudges and fierce ghosts!

"Now if I pick up Xu Qin’s dinner knife, I will be influenced by the curse within the knife. Once I become the Midnight Butcher, perhaps I could use her dinner knife for extended periods."

Mere borrowing from others is not enough—Han Fei narrowed his eyes from this moment on, he began to prepare to find a knife of his own.

After checking the attribute panel, Han Fei was about to take out the basic surgery skill book when he suddenly noticed that one of the previously obtained items had changed.

During a beginner’s task of taking a bath in a haunted house, he had obtained the landlord’s diary. Initially, the diary was a very ordinary black notebook, clean inside, without a single word, but now he found that the diary had turned into one with a blood-red cover.

"It seems that the diary changed after I became the manager."

Han Fei took out the blood-colored diary and opened the first page, a strong scent of blood wafted out.

The diary was severely damaged, many pages were torn out, and the remaining few didn’t have dates, just some scattered text.

Most of it consisted of reviews about the neighbors in the building. To Han Fei’s surprise, besides the neighbors in building one, there were also a few pages that recorded information about the residents of building two.

"Building two candidate building chief: Qu Yun."

"During the day the couples are peaceful and loving, but at night they become like beasts. Perhaps there is no essential difference between humans and beasts, except that humans are more cunning, disguising themselves during the day, sewing morality and civilization into a garment with lies, which they call human skin."

"The couple in room 2044 are very loving during the day, but at midnight, screams always emerge from their home. One early morning, the usually dignified and beautiful wife, wearing a torn nightgown and covered with wounds, escaped from home. She cried and screamed in the corridor, as if she was being chased, as if she had broken her leg, she was taken back home, and she never came out again."

"Building two candidate building chief: Dark Dog."

"That dog, which can hide in shadows, seems to possess intelligence not inferior to humans; it appears to be one of the earliest few residents of Happiness Residental Community."

"It carries a curse that I have never seen before; I am very curious about how it came to be."

The content in the diary was short, and the handwriting was very sloppy, much of it was illegible, and Han Fei could only guess on his own.

"There indeed is a woman covered in wounds in room 2044 of building two. Previously, it was she who dragged an outsider into the room. In the landlord’s diary, Qu Yun is one of the candidates for building chief of building two, so it seems necessary for me to make contact with her."

Han Fei is the current building chief; he felt that he should properly talk with the residents of building two. Everyone must work together to make Happiness Residental Community truly happy.
