Chapter 188: Chapter188: Death is Just the Beginning

This was the second time that Han Fei had seen the female dormitory manager at Yimin Private Academy. Before starting his duties as the manager, Han Fei had met her once.

At that time, Han Fei had not paid much attention to the dormitory manager, but now that he thought about it, something seemed off.

The real-world list of the deceased did not include the dormitory manager!

When Jin Sheng died, nothing had happened to the dormitory manager. She might, like Ma Manjiang, have quietly disappeared many years after the incident.

"Could the dormitory manager also be an informant? Had she fooled Ma Manjiang by pretending to be insane and stupid, or had Ma Manjiang driven her to madness?"

Her appearance in Jin Sheng’s memory indicated that she was a key person, but Han Fei had only a few memories about her.

"In the Deep World’s Yimin Private Academy, Ma Manjiang’s son wanted to kill the dormitory manager, wrote curse letters to her, and hid needles in her fruit. From this point of view, at least Ma Manjiang’s son and the dormitory manager were enemies."

Han Fei had Chu Xia and Zhang Guanxing stay in the dorm room while he quietly pushed the door open and walked out.

The heavily made-up dormitory manager was swaying in the corridor with her keys, humming an old opera tune, and her hands occasionally mimed some actions.

What caught Han Fei’s attention was that the always insane dormitory manager suddenly seemed to return to normal when she passed room 204 on the second floor. She leaned against the door of dorm 204 like a thief, eavesdropping on the sounds coming from inside.

"204?"

Jin Sheng initially lived in dorm 204 but was later moved to dorm 104, which was filled with underachievers, because he often scared his roommates with ghost stories.

Just as Han Fei wondered why the dormitory manager was eavesdropping at the door of dorm 204, the door to dorm 204 suddenly burst open!

A thick arm gripped the dormitory manager’s neck and violently threw her to the ground.

"Ma Manjiang? That beast is hiding in Jin Sheng’s dorm room!"

When Han Fei saw that arm, cold sweat broke out all over him.

After dodging Ma Manjiang’s son, Han Fei subconsciously felt that Ma Manjiang might go to inspect other places, but this cunning and evil monster was actually also inside the dormitory building.

If the dormitory manager hadn’t gone to eavesdrop, he would have been ready to check out room 204!

From Ma Manjiang’s recent action, it was clear that he had anticipated various scenarios.

"Directly grabbing the neck, preventing me from dying quickly, then slowly torturing me to extract the information he wanted to know!"

The mere thought was terrifying to Han Fei; falling into Ma Manjiang’s hands meant that dying wouldn’t be an easy option.

Quietly retreating, Han Fei did not dare to approach dorm 204.

The dormitory manager was thrown to the ground, her head shaking wildly, touching the paint and blood on her face while continuously apologizing to Ma Manjiang inside the room.

A roar came from inside, and it seemed like Ma Manjiang was ordering the dormitory manager to scram.

After receiving permission from Ma Manjiang, a smile appeared on the dormitory manager’s face. Despite the blood and wounds, she laughed loudly and acted like a madwoman.

Perhaps the dormitory manager had experienced something similar in reality; she knew Ma Manjiang’s secret and had escaped by acting insane and stupid.

The door to dorm 204 was closed again, and only then did the dormitory manager stop her insane laughter. She did not bother to wipe the blood off her face, continuing her mad behavior as she walked toward Han Fei’s hiding place.

As she passed the dorm room where Han Fei was hiding, the dormitory manager shook her head and, as if on purpose, said in an extremely strange tone, "The person you are looking for is in the dorm room, not in the cupboard, but inside a stomach."

Almost at the same moment the dormitory manager finished speaking, the previously closed door of room 204 was opened again, and Ma Manjiang, nearly three meters tall and filled with malice, crawled out of the dorm room!

The face on his chest showed a cruel expression, and all three mouths on his head opened together, "Do you still want to deceive me once more?"

This Ma Manjiang, controlled by the blue butterfly, was even more difficult to deal with than the Ma Manjiang Jin Sheng remembered!

Having the memories of the blue butterfly, Ma Manjiang knew that the Manager hadn’t really gone mad. He pretended everything was the same as before, not expecting the Manager to actually fall for it.

The Manager, feigning insanity, wanted to give Han Fei a hint, but he accidentally exposed Han Fei’s location.

With three mouths roaring, Ma Manjiang went on all fours, charging toward the room where Han Fei was hiding!

His mind working rapidly, Han Fei had made a decision in an instant!

Chu Xia and Zhang Guanxing were too slow; they couldn’t escape together. The safest method was for Han Fei to draw Ma Manjiang away.

Pulling open the door, Han Fei flung it shut and then sprinted to the other side of the corridor.

Ma Manjiang, constantly roaring, charged at full speed. What terrified Han Fei was that the crafty, furious monster suddenly stopped when it passed the bedroom where Han Fei had previously hidden.

"If there were only one person running, he wouldn’t think to close the door. This unnecessary action... shows there are others hiding in the room!" The face on Ma Manjiang’s chest revealed a fierce expression. He gave up chasing Han Fei and crashed into the door of the adjacent bedroom!

"Damn it!" Han Fei stopped in his tracks. Ma Manjiang was the most troublesome enemy Han Fei had encountered since entering the Deep World!

The opponent had guessed all his thoughts; his Brain Power and strength were much greater than those of ordinary ghosts and monsters.

"Is this what a butterfly-influenced monster looks like?"

Heeding the Manager’s hint from earlier, Ma Manjiang, to prevent Han Fei from finding Jin Sheng, seemed to have eaten Jin Sheng ahead of time!

How was he to fight such an enemy?

As the dormitory door was about to be smashed open, Han Fei pressed the sharp Fragment against his own neck.

"I can’t let Ma Manjiang discover the scissors inside Chu Xia’s body; it’s my only chance to turn the tables!"

Ma Manjiang held all the advantages, but the right to restart the game was in Han Fei’s hands, albeit painfully so.

...

Opening his eyes, Han Fei rushed directly out of the medical office’s cabinet.

Breaking the teacup, he carved his name and three bloodstains onto his arm.

Then, Han Fei opened the window and curtains. As he was about to escape through the window, he felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Looking up, he saw the terrifying face of Ma Manjiang peeking out from the fourth-floor office!

This time, Ma Manjiang did not rush over hastily but stared down Han Fei from the fourth floor.

"It knows I’m about to jump out of the window! Has its memory not reset? Is it because the butterfly is also an Outsider?"

The worst had happened!

In the Manager’s task, only scenes and ghosts and monsters constructed from the Manager’s memory would reset repeatedly, while Outsiders, with each death, would lose only parts of their memory and would not reset completely.

"Ma Manjiang remembers everything that happened during the Manager’s task. With the increasing number of deaths, he will clear all my cards!"

This Manager’s task, because of the appearance of the blue butterfly, had escalated in difficulty to an absurd degree.

Squatting on the second-floor windowsill, Han Fei and Ma Manjiang, controlled by the butterfly, exchanged glances from the fourth floor. They both saw unmasked murderous intent in each other’s eyes!
