Chapter 262: The Unbeneficial Yimin Convenience Store

Han Fei had come to regard Happiness Residential Community as his own home, even gradually beginning to feel a sense of belonging here.

Compared to the previous Building Chief, Han Fei’s way of handling things seemed naive and impulsive, but it also brought a sincere and open feeling to everyone.

Entering Building One, the gloomy and dark corridors didn’t make Han Fei feel oppressed. Gripping the rusted stair railing, he was reminded of the life-threatening escapades he experienced in these hallways every night.

Memories of Han Fei lingered in every room of this building, and at some point, his destiny had become intertwined with this dilapidated old structure.

Having just entered the corridor, Han Fei hadn’t gone far when the door on the fourth floor opened.

Moments later, the frail Wei Youfu appeared in the hallway with Little Eight timidly hiding behind him, her delicate face sneakily glancing at Han Fei with a flicker of happiness in her eyes.

"If you hadn’t come back, we were about to go out looking for you," said Wei Youfu, looking at Han Fei as if he had finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Wei Youfu and Little Eight run out to greet him, Han Fei didn’t know what kind of expression to show for a moment. He had only seen such scenes on television growing up.

Before he played this game, each time he returned home, he would hold no expectations, simply using his key to silently open the door and then entering into darkness.

No one would leave the light on for him, no one would open the door for him, and certainly no one would run out to greet him with joy.

Han Fei first took Xu Qin back to her home. In her room, he simply prepared some food for Xu Qin and waited until her condition had somewhat improved before he left.

Back in room 1044, Han Fei sat on the sofa and recounted his recent experiences to Wei Youfu and the other victims. Victims of the Human-body Puzzle case would attract something if they left Happiness Residential Community, so everyone was very interested in what Han Fei had to say about the outside world.

They listened to Han Fei’s experiences as if they were the protagonists of the story, their expressions changing with the mood of Han Fei’s narrative at every thrilling turn.

In the tiny room, a man holding a torch danced and captivated the hearts of several Fierce Ghosts.

Around 5 a.m., Han Fei’s story was finished, but Wei Youfu nagged like a talkative old father, repeatedly admonishing Han Fei not to take any more risks.

Just as Han Fei was considering logging off to escape, the landline phone in the room suddenly rang.

Han Fei’s expression changed instantly, and he quickly pulled out the Rebirth Saber, while Wei Youfu remained calm, answering the call directly.

"Don’t be nervous. Do you still remember the hotel next to the Yimin Convenience Store?"

"I remember."

"The old man from the hotel’s longing merged with the telephone line, creating a special Curse Item. To facilitate contact, we’ve connected his longing to the Happiness Residential Community," said Wei Youfu, who though physically weak had thus managed to retain his wisdom and humanity.

After a brief conversation, Wei Youfu hung up the phone. He furrowed his brow and joined Han Fei by the window.

The two looked out at the area beyond the community. In front of the Yimin Convenience Store stood a terrifying woman over two meters tall, dressed in a red bridal gown!

"Is it her?"

Han Fei still remembered this woman. On his first day being employed as a clerk at the Yimin Convenience Store, she had invited the Paperman Store Manager to go to the Death Building with her.

It was precisely because she had taken the Paperman away that Han Fei had gotten the chance to steal the shop manager’s coffin.

At a critical moment, Han Fei had betrayed the Paperman Store Manager and also tricked the woman in the bridal gown.

She had paid a huge price to persuade the Paperman Store Manager to take action, only to have his consciousness fade away during the final stages of the conflict.

Just imagining that scene allowed Han Fei to feel the collapse and helplessness within the heart of the woman in the bridal gown.

"She’s actually still alive? And she came back on purpose?"

"How did you provoke her? Is there a story between you two?" Wei Youfu glanced at Han Fei, who truly was the peak of attractiveness when it came to the Haunted House in Building 1044.

"It looks like I’ll have to make another trip to the convenience store, Yinglong can’t handle her alone." Han Fei had just arrived home when he dashed out again, this time dragging Cry along.

Ten minutes later, Han Fei pushed open the door of the convenience store.

A row of ten White Wax candles were neatly arranged on the shelf. The one crying the most mournfully kept badmouthing the shop manager and, without even realizing it, threw a few compliments at the woman in the wedding dress, nearly acknowledging her as its godmother.

Perhaps too engrossed in its rant, when the other White Wax candles had already shut up, it still kept shouting energetically. Yinglong tried several times to cut it off, but the woman in the wedding dress stopped him.

The more the White Wax talked, the more fervently it spoke, until it noticed the woman in the wedding dress’s gaze slowly shifting away from itself. Only then did it curiously look behind itself.

With a ghastly pale face, Han Fei stared silently at it, toying with a lighter in his hand.

The face on the White Wax candle instantly froze, and its eyes sneaked a look around, finding the other White Wax candles had already gone silent.

"It’s not that we are unrighteous, it’s the lighter of fate that’s pressing down our heads."

Han Fei lit the White Wax candle and placed it on the lampstand before he stood in front of the woman in the wedding dress.

The woman in the wedding dress, nearly two meters tall, looked down at Han Fei, her face coated in rouge and face powder, her eyes dead set on Han Fei’s. She seemed somewhat puzzled. Why did all the ghosts in the convenience store feel reassured upon seeing Han Fei?

In her memory, it seemed like Han Fei had only become a trainee shop clerk a few days ago.

"I am the acting shop manager here, my name’s Han Fei." With a standard commercial smile on his face, Han Fei spoke respectfully, without a hint of fear or panic, "It seems like you had some kind of agreement with the former shop manager?"

The woman in the wedding dress didn’t quite understand why Han Fei had become the acting shop manager, but that was of no importance, she had come to demand an explanation.

She flung a blood-stained handkerchief onto the counter. After picking it up, Han Fei examined it carefully, "The former shop manager promised to enter Room 1064 of the Death Building with you but did not fulfill the promise and nearly got you killed. Considering the former shop manager already accepted part of your payment, therefore the responsibility lies entirely with us."

With an expression of profound regret, Han Fei solemnly put away the handkerchief, "The former shop manager has disappeared, we don’t know where it went, but we will not shirk our responsibility. The things it failed to complete, we will continue and complete for you!"

The woman in the wedding dress didn’t quite know what to do, she had been prepared for a fight, but the situation seemed different than what she had expected.

"At Yimin Convenience Store, customer benefit always comes first. We acknowledge how dangerous the Death Building is, but failure is failure, and we will accompany you once again into Room 1064. However, we hope you can grant us a little more time."

Han Fei took a deep breath, his expression deeply sincere, "Within ten days, we will accompany you into the Death Building Room 1064 again and do everything possible to obtain what you want. To increase the chances of completing the task, we hope you could provide us with more information about the Death Building."

His face stern and calm, though he was as weak as an ant, he was prepared to undertake his responsibility and make decisions far beyond ordinary people.

Perhaps it was the -13 Charm attribute of Han Fei that had an effect, as the bloodthirst around the woman in the wedding dress dissipated slightly.

After thinking for a long time, she removed the bloodied bridal veil covering her face and placed it on the counter, then she opened her mouth, full of scars, and named a time.

"I will come to find you in seven days."

The woman in the wedding dress turned and left the convenience store, while Han Fei picked up the blood-colored veil from the cash register.

The word "Death" was written in the center of the veil, symbolizing a kind of special curse, as if holding it could grant access into the Death Building.

"Shop Manager, are we really going to help her? The place she wants to go is the Death Building!" Yinglong was very worried.

"Customers are God, and we have to try to satisfy the requests of our customers."

"But what if she just wants to use us as bait?"

"Don’t worry, I have a plan," Han Fei said quietly, putting away the red veil: "Customers are God, but remember, all gods reside in Heaven."
