Chapter 279: Chapter 279: No Way Back, Just Keep Moving Forward
Opening his eyes, Han Fei was surrounded by papermen, and the storage room of the Yimin Convenience Store was turned upside down, with various items scattered around as if swept by a storm.
Feeling the chill from his landlord ring, Han Fei slowly pulled out the Rebirth Saber, crouching like a cheetah ready to pounce, hiding himself behind the shelves.
Moving closer to where the chill emanated from, Han Fei moved aside the toppled shelves, and at the very bottom of the heap of garbage, he found a dust-covered White Wax.
"You’re still alive?" the moment his fingertip touched it, the system provided Han Fei with the Identification result, this White Wax was indeed fated to be with Han Fei.
Seeing Han Fei appear, a bitter human face emerged on the White Wax, "Shop Manager, I’ve been hoping for you to come!"
"You were hoping for me to die sooner, weren’t you?" Han Fei took out a lighter, and then began questioning the White Wax, "What happened in the store? Why don’t I see anyone else?"
"Gesheng appeared on the street, it entered the store and glanced around." As the White Wax recalled the scene, fear filled its face.
"Just from one glance, the store turned into this?" Han Fei was puzzled, "It couldn’t have been you who brought Gesheng here, could it?"
"How could I have such ability?" A wry smile was all that remained on the White Wax’s face, "You’re biased against me."
"If it wasn’t you, why are you the only one alive? Where are the others?"
"Yinglong heard Gesheng and immediately took away the residual souls of the other store employees and crucial items." The White Wax’s face was full of grievance, "I was abandoned."
Staring at the pitiful face of the White Wax, Han Fei suddenly became interested, "I’m curious, how did you survive in the midst of Gesheng’s singing?"
"Maybe it’s because I’m too weak." Compared to Gesheng, the White Wax was more afraid of Han Fei.
"I hope you’re not lying to me this time." Han Fei did not believe what the White Wax said, he stuffed the White Wax into his pocket and quietly left the Yimin Convenience Store.
As he crossed the street and prepared to enter the Happiness Residential Community, Han Fei inadvertently noticed that the shrine next to the community gate had changed.
Thick black cloth had been lifted, and something inside the shrine was bleeding.
As Han Fei prepared to approach, the black cloth draped over the shrine slid down, covering the shrine just right.
"Could there really be a guardian deity living inside?"
The other party didn’t wish to meet Han Fei, and Han Fei didn’t insist.
Concerned about the safety of his neighbors in the building, he didn’t waste time and directly entered the community.
The ground was scattered with muddy, blood-stained soil and various garments, rusty workout equipment were twisted and entangled, the ivy that had once covered the outer wall of the residential buildings had withered, and the hidden corpses had all turned into skeletons.
"Has Gesheng entered the Happiness Residential Community again?"
Han Fei’s heart tensed up, he rushed into Building One, frantically shouting the neighbors’ names and forcefully knocking on the door of room 1044.
Minutes later, the thick security door was opened, and Wei Youfu, who had no combat ability and seemed like he could be dispersed with a breath, appeared at the entrance, "Don’t worry, everyone’s okay."
Wei Youfu already knew what Han Fei wanted to ask, "Apart from me, everyone else has taken refuge in the elementary school across the street. Luckily, you had mentioned us to the Grudge of that school, they recognized Cry and Li Zai, otherwise we really wouldn’t have known where to hide this time."
After confirming that everyone was okay, Han Fei visibly relaxed, "That ’Gesheng’ hasn’t appeared for a long time, why has it suddenly come again now? It feels even more thorough than the last investigation."
"The target of the ’Gesheng’ must be Little Eight. The former Building Chief mentioned that Little Eight is the key. Ordinary ghosts and monsters can’t reach that level, but for the Unspeakable beings, Little Eight has a strong attraction." Wei Youfu didn’t conceal anything.
"Little Eight has been in Happiness Residental Community for a long time, how come nothing happened before? Could it be because... you eight were mixed together before, and it was me who separated you eight?"
"It probably isn’t, I guess it’s related to the former Building Chief. In order not to let Little Eight be discovered by other Fierce Ghosts, he arranged many things in the community, such as plants planted on the exterior walls of the residential buildings and the shrine at the main entrance. However, after he disappeared, those things gradually lost their effect." Wei Youfu sighed softly, "The presence of Little Eight might be exposed soon, and Happiness Residental Community will no longer be safe."
"No worries, when the time comes, we’ll just hide somewhere else. There are always more solutions than problems." Hearing Wei Youfu’s words, Han Fei also felt the pressure.
The victims of the Human-body Puzzle case were Han Fei’s family in the Deep World. When Han Fei was very weak, they endured the torment from losing control and accepted Han Fei.
The ominous and terrifying Haunted House 1044 was filled with memories related to his family for Han Fei.
He hadn’t experienced those, so the ordinary life that others took for granted was precious memory to him.
It was precisely because he valued it from the bottom of his heart that he resonated with the victims inside the Haunted House.
"The ’Gesheng’ has entered Happiness Residental Community twice. It will probably come here again, and we must prepare quickly." Han Fei explained the situation in Beast Alley to Wei Youfu, and then laid out the plan to enter the Death Building. If Beast Alley could not stop the ’Gesheng’, they would lure the ’Gesheng’ to the Death Building.
The name of the ’Gesheng’ is Unspeakable. Neighbors in the Deep World even fear to discuss it, but Han Fei had already begun planning how to weaken the opponent’s strength and then find an opportunity to permanently eliminate it.
"Huang Ying needs to withstand the invasion of Butterfly’s consciousness in the real world, and the ’Gesheng’ is still searching for Little Eight. I really don’t have time to properly level up." Han Fei originally planned to reach level 15 before heading to the Death Building. Now he had to change his plans, preparing to start exploring in the direction of the Death Building from today.
Advance while leveling up. Since there’s no way back, just keep moving forward.
"You stay here and rest properly, I’m going to visit Yimin Private Academy."
Han Fei hurried to Yimin Private Academy, and as soon as he entered the school gate, he saw Zhang Guanxing hiding at the doorway.
"Teacher!" He ran over to Han Fei affectionately, very happy.
Han Fei treated Zhang Guanxing as his student, yet Zhang Guanxing felt a lack of fatherly love from Han Fei.
"Where are the people from Happiness Residental Community?"
"Everyone’s fine. When the ’Gesheng’ appeared, Jin Sheng also woke up, and it hid the academy’s presence." Zhang Guanxing told Han Fei everything.
Normally, Happiness Residental Community and Yimin Private Academy’s ghosts and monsters would have no interactions, but the appearance of the ’Gesheng’ taught them a lesson.
In the face of Unspeakable beings, everyone is a lamb to be slaughtered, fighting each other is completely meaningless.
"Where is Jin Sheng now?" Han Fei just wanted to meet Jin Sheng, that child written with Kaidan all over him, emanating a strange aura.
After treatment by the former Building Chief, Jin Sheng now seemed more like a Curse Item than a ghost or monster.
If Han Fei could convince Jin Sheng to enter the Death Building with him, his chances of survival would greatly increase, after all, Jin Sheng is a manager of a Hidden Map, and also a ghost with the Manager’s Talent.
"He is still in the infirmary, but Jin Sheng’s current state is a bit strange, you should be mentally prepared before you see him." Zhang Guanxing said cautiously, with a hint of fear and trepidation in his eyes.
