Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Fresh Meat Dumplings

In the ordeal between life and death, Han Fei’s acting had reached a particularly exceptional realm.

He put on the deliveryman’s uniform, and without any superfluous acting, he looked just like a veteran deliveryman. Whether in mannerisms or in the expression in his eyes, and even his aura, all were impeccable.

As he passed by the security post, the on-duty security guard did not only not stop him but even gave Han Fei a bottle of water.

Entering Shahe Origin Residential Complex, which is the most scenic area of Shahe, the complex felt like a park.

"The boss lives in Area 1, the household that ordered plain rice is in Area 9."

The entire Shahe Origin complex was divided into nine areas, with Areas 1 to 4 on the right and Areas 5 to 9 on the left; the right side was noticeably busier than the left.

Following the delivery address, Han Fei reached a residential building at the very back of the complex, where almost no one could be seen.

Carrying the delivery box, Han Fei stepped up and pressed the electronic doorbell at the entrance.

The sound of ’Ding-dong, ding-dong’ kept ringing, but no one came out from the building.

"The exterior of the building looks no different from the others in the complex, and the nearby lawns and gardens are tended daily, yet it seems like not many live inside."

Pulling out his phone, Han Fei dialed the number left by the person who placed the order, but the phone was busy and no one answered.

"The entrance door is locked, how did Wang Ping’an get in last night? Who opened the door for him?"

As Han Fei was fretting outside, sudden footsteps sounded from within the building, he looked up in surprise to see an elderly man over sixty slowly descending the stairs with a cellphone in his hand.

"Is he the one who ordered the meal? Is the person who ordered still alive?"

It was now noon, but the hallway was unnaturally dim.

The elderly man reached the ground floor, put his cellphone to his ear, and said into the phone: "If you guys are really too busy, don’t bother coming back for the holidays this year, I’m quite comfortable living alone."

After speaking, the elderly man hung up the call, he walked to the entrance and looked outside, "Who are you looking for?"

"I’m delivering food." Han Fei’s call hadn’t gone through yet, but the elderly man had already finished his call. The person who ordered probably wasn’t him, it might have been just a minor misunderstanding.

"Delivery?" The elderly man stared at Han Fei for a long while, then unlocked the entrance door, "Come on in."

"Thank you, sir." Just as Han Fei was about to step inside with the delivery box, a chilling breeze blew straight at him, giving him a shiver.

"Young man, almost all the residents have moved out, who ordered the delivery?"

"The address is Shahe Origin Zone 9, fourth floor, apartment number nineteen." Han Fei pulled out his phone and pretended to check it.

"Fourth floor?" The elderly man was about to leave, but upon hearing Han Fei’s words, he paused, "Could you have delivered to the wrong place? No one lives on the fourth floor."

"But this is the address they provided."

The elderly man didn’t say anything more, just nodded and continued walking downstairs.

"Bang!"

As Han Fei reached the third floor, a door closing sound came from the first floor, someone seemed to have locked the entrance door.

"It’s daylight now, there shouldn’t be any problems." The landlord’s ring gave no reaction, and emotional values were normal, Han Fei readjusted his state and went straight to the fourth floor.

The high-end residential areas of Shahe Origin are generally not very tall, this type of building had only five floors.

"Is anyone home?"

Standing at the door of room 401, only Han Fei’s own echo filled the hallway.

"Your delivery is here." Han Fei glanced around, the hallway was much darker than before, and while it was sunny outside, it was cold and damp inside.

"Is anyone there..." Before Han Fei could finish, his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated, startling him.

"Wang Ping’an? Why is this guy calling me now?"

After answering the call, Han Fei initially thought something happened to Wang Ping’an, but all Wang Ping’an did on the other end was laugh nonstop, causing Han Fei to feel a bit uneasy.

"Ping’an, are you okay? Hello? Hello?"

The phone signal suddenly worsened, and after some static noise, the call was disconnected.

Holding his phone, while Han Fei was still pondering why Wang Ping’an had called him, his phone vibrated again.

Seeing the number displayed on the screen, Han Fei held his breath; this time it was from the person who had placed the order.

Pressing the answer button, Han Fei made no sound, focusing intently to catch every subtle noise coming from the speaker.

The sounds of rinsing rice, chopping vegetables, frying, and clinking dishes and utensils...

It appeared that the person who had ordered was busy in the kitchen, preparing various dishes.

"That’s not right."

Various sounds came from the phone, but Han Fei, who was leaning against the door, heard no sound from inside the room. It felt as if the phone and the room were two different worlds.

"Did I get the wrong place?"

The person who ordered the meal had called Han Fei, but he didn’t say a word, and Han Fei didn’t dare hang up.

After about ten seconds, Han Fei heard a man’s voice through the phone, "The dishes are almost ready, let’s start the meal."

"Second brother, dad hasn’t come back yet. He seemed to have gone out to buy something just now."

"We have everything at home, what does he need to buy?"

"He must have gone to buy meat."

"We already have enough meat. Let’s finish the frozen meat in the fridge first, buying so much is a waste!"

"Dad wants to eat fresh meat zongzi."

"What fresh meat, not fresh meat. You go serve the dishes, I’ll go call dad back."

Footsteps came from the phone, getting closer to Han Fei. Soon, they reached the door, followed by the sound of the door opening from the phone.

At the moment the locks twisted, the security door in front of Han Fei opened simultaneously.

Listening to the static from the phone and watching the door slowly open in front of him, Han Fei instinctively tightened his grip on the strap of the delivery box.

The moment the door opened, all sounds from the phone ceased. Han Fei, holding the phone, stood at the doorway, unsure whether to enter now.

"I specially chose this time at noon when the yang energy is strongest."

Shahe Origin No. 9 was a high-end residence with very large rooms and luxurious interior decorations, but the room was covered with dust, clearly having not been lived in for a long time.

"Your order has arrived." Han Fei stepped into the room. He noticed the dried up fruit on the coffee table in the living room, then turned his head towards the dining table, which was piled with various rotten and stinking dishes.

"You made so many dishes? It feels a bit like a family reunion during New Year’s."

Holding the delivery box in one hand, Han Fei walked to the dining table. Just as he was about to check out some of the dishes on the table, he suddenly felt as if someone was watching him.

Turning to look at the adjacent bedroom, Han Fei’s back was instantly soaked with cold sweat—the wooden desk in the bedroom was lined with black and white obituaries!

The photos included men and women of all ages, all staring at Han Fei in the living room right now.

Drawing in a breath of cold air, Han Fei touched the landlord’s ring, his Adam’s apple trembling slightly.

Suppressing his fear, he pushed the bedroom door open completely.

The curtains in this room were tightly closed, making it especially dim.

Stopping by the table, Han Fei opened the delivery box, moved the old lady’s package aside, and then placed the box after box of rice in front of the obituaries.

"I mean no offense, just wanted to deliver the white rice. You like the rice from this restaurant, I can deliver it especially for you in the future, even bring the chef over if need be."

Perhaps due to being too frightened and nervous, when Han Fei picked up the rice, he "accidentally" opened the old lady’s package and the love letters, zongzi leaves, and the letter addressed to an old friend all fell out.

"Sorry, it’s my first day on the job, I am a bit nervous."

It was almost as if Han Fei was talking to himself, his hands scrambling to pick up the items, but just as he was about to pick up the letter to an old friend, a pale hand reached out and picked up the envelope first.

Looking up along the arm, at the bedroom door stood a group of expressionless, pale-skinned people, staring intensely at Han Fei.

"Bang..."

The security door of the living room slowly closed, and a series of pallid faces approached Han Fei.

"Wait, wait a moment!" Han Fei pulled open the zipper of the delivery uniform, and then opened his own coat to reveal the Secondhand Store worker’s uniform beneath.

"You might not believe this, but I am here to avenge you."

It had been better before Han Fei showed that Secondhand Store uniform. Upon seeing that garment, the room temperature instantly plummeted to freezing, and the chill emanating from the landlord’s ring scraped against Han Fei’s fingers like a blade.

"The zongzi leaves and letter were brought by me. The next one the store boss is going to kill is me! Now I’m trapped, it’s death either way, so why not make my death more meaningful." Seeing the reaction of the shadows in Room Nineteen, Han Fei now knew what to do next.

He had summoned his emotions, ready to speak, but then an unexpected surprise occurred.

His phone suddenly vibrated. He looked down to see a number calling him.

It was a number Han Fei had seen once before. Two days ago, when he borrowed Huang Li’s phone to call Wang Ping’an’s father, he had secretly browsed through Huang Li’s contacts, and this number had appeared in Huang Li’s phonebook as well—marked as "Boss."

"The store’s boss is calling now? Has he already noticed something wrong with the shrine?"

Looking at the answer button on the phone screen, Han Fei hesitated, knowing answering the call in front of the victims could lead to severe consequences.
