Chapter 183: Chapter 183: My Best Game is Hide-and-Seek

Ma Manjiang, dominated by the Butterfly, was getting closer, his chest pressed against that kindly honest face, followed by a group of deceived children.

Seeing Ma Manjiang’s ferocious smile, Han Fei knew he could not break free, so he took out the sharpest fragment of the teacup from his pocket and slit his own throat.

"Ma Manjiang, I’ll wait for you in the deepest part of Hell!"

Blood blurred his vision, intense pain arose, and his heart beat slower and slower.

Han Fei knew he couldn’t fall into Ma Manjiang’s hands, he had to ensure his own death.

...

Opening his eyes, Han Fei instinctively covered his neck.

"Ma Manjiang is running this way, I absolutely can’t delay any longer."

Climbing out of the cabinet storing medicines, Han Fei smashed the teacup and quickly carved his name on his arm, then hid the teacup fragments in his pocket.

This time, he didn’t leave through the main door of the infirmary. Instead, he locked the door, blocked it with a table, then opened the window of the infirmary.

The infirmary was on the second floor, not too high above the ground.

Vaulting over the windowsill, Han Fei’s advantage in physical strength became apparent as he grabbed a pipe next to him and smoothly slid down to the first floor.

He avoided Ma Manjiang, but the school was still full of various ghosts and monsters, and one wrong step could cost him his life.

"This time I have to find a way to kill Ma Manjiang!"

The pain of the teacup fragment slicing his neck was unforgettable for Han Fei; this game was too real as all the pain tugged at his nerves, penetrating deep into his marrow.

If he couldn’t kill Ma Manjiang, he would just have to keep experiencing death.

"Ma Manjiang is opening the infirmary door. After finding I’m not in the room, he’ll definitely go to the security room. I need to find Old Li before he realizes it."

Ma Manjiang, controlled by the Butterfly, was different from other Fierce Ghosts and Monsters in Jin Sheng’s memory, and Han Fei had to treat him as the most terrifying and cunning enemy.

Every second counted, and a few seconds after Han Fei ran a dozen meters, he heard the sound of the infirmary door being battered.

Ma Manjiang rushed to the infirmary door like last time.

"It will probably take him a minute to react."

Han Fei knew there was another teacher in the corridor to the left of the security room, so he deliberately avoided the left corridor and climbed through a ground floor window into the teaching building.

Arriving quickly at the security room, Han Fei softly called out Old Li’s name, but no one responded inside.

He pushed the door open, and the dim cold light from the computer screen cast a glow on his face.

Compared to other rooms, the temperature inside the security room was significantly higher, providing Han Fei a rare sense of warmth in the cramped cabin.

"Did Security Old Li once help Jin Sheng?"

Han Fei knew Ma Manjiang would arrive soon, so he quickly searched for anything useful inside the room.

The clock on the wall showed it was 1:08, and the computer screen displayed nine minimized surveillance windows.

"Surveillance footage? At 1:08?"

Han Fei looked at the wall where the security work log was, "Today is April 8th, Thursday, the very day when Security Old Li died!"

All the tragedies began on this day, and Jin Sheng’s memory seemed to have been frozen on this day too.

"Old Li died at midnight, in the back mountain area, which means there is still a chance for remedying everything!"

"But why was Old Li targeted by Ma Manjiang? Just because Old Li believed in Jin Sheng? Because he was willing to help Jin Sheng?"

Han Fei’s gaze shifted to the surveillance video, his mind working quickly, and he almost instantly lunged toward the computer.

Before starting as the Manager, he had done hidden tasks involving watching the video footage, making him familiar with all the surveillance camera positions!

One of the cameras was installed between the sports field and the back of the teaching building, focusing on the essential path to the sports room!

Han Fei quickly pulled up the surveillance from the previous day, and when he adjusted the time to 1:05 PM, he clearly saw Ma Manjiang and Chu Xia in the monitor!

Ma Manjiang had that tender and upright face pressed against his chest, while Chu Xia next to him was covered in cracks, as if she had been torn apart and then pieced back together.

The two flashed past in the surveillance footage, entering the sports room on the other side of the playing field.

"This is the footage!"

Han Fei first backed up and hid the surveillance video, as the pressing issue was to quickly find Old Li!

Having this footage should gain Old Li’s trust, and as long as Old Li was willing to help him, there would be a bit more room to maneuver.

There was noise from the second floor; Ma Manjiang had realized Han Fei was no longer in the medical office, and he was desperately charging toward the security room.

Stuffing the security patrol chart from the wall into his pocket, Han Fei didn’t hesitate and decisively left the security room.

"I need to make good use of this time gap! Ma Manjiang will probably be looking for Old Li next."

The security patrol chart recorded the work arrangement of the campus security guards, and without time to look at it, Han Fei directly jumped out the window of the teaching building.

Bending over, he sprinted through the green belt outside the teaching building, and before Ma Manjiang arrived, he used the blind spots to escape into the office building.

"The only teacher in Yimin Private Academy I can rely on is Jin Sheng’s class advisor, but I wonder what she looks like in Jin Sheng’s memory."

While reviewing the security patrol chart, Han Fei ran toward the fourth floor of the office building: "Old Li and the other security guards are reinforcing the fence on the back mountain to prevent students from playing there. He is too far from me right now, so I’ll not consider him. The first-year teachers’ offices are all on the fourth floor, exactly where the Ghost in Red first appeared in the video footage. Could it be that the ghost always following Old Li is Jin Sheng’s class advisor?"

The ghost on the fourth floor, covered in blood and disfigured, was filled with deep grudge, nearly two meters tall, and both her stature and appearance had completely changed, making it impossible for Han Fei to identify her.

"Now that Ma Manjiang doesn’t know my location, this is a valuable opportunity for me!"

A gleam flashed in Han Fei’s eyes, as he possessed the Hide-and-Seek’s exclusive passive ability — his presence was minimized when hiding, and became extremely sharp when capturing others.

This seemingly not-so-powerful ability actually provided Han Fei with help beyond his expectations.

As long as he didn’t make a loud noise intentionally or approached the other party actively, the ghosts inside the classroom would ignore him.

Han Fei, unlike Jin Sheng, was well aware that since those creatures lacked ears and had blank eyes, there was no point in castigating them.

In such times, one must stay alert, protect those who should be protected, and exterminate the ghosts that need to be killed!

As Ma Manjiang couldn’t find Han Fei anywhere, he began to lose his mind.

But the more frantic he became, the more cautious Han Fei was, not showing any slipups.

Moving cautiously to the third floor of the office building, Han Fei glanced towards the back mountain; a grey mist enveloped everything, and the visibility was extremely low, making it impossible to see Old Li.

"Forget it, knowing his location will suffice."

Han Fei retracted his gaze, sidestepped into the stairwell, and as he was preparing to head to the fourth floor, a female teacher appeared in the corridor.
