64 -64 The First Thing I Want You to Do
The human pupa’s outer skin was clinging with densely packed things resembling blood vessels, and it was drawing nutrition from those severed limbs.
“An outsider came into the complex to kill just to nourish this thing?”
The human pupa in the bedroom was very different from the one in Han Fei’s hands, and he didn’t dare to touch it casually.
Instead, he found a broom and gently poked the other a few times.
The outer skin of the human pupa had become very thin, almost transparent, when Han Fei touched it with the broom, a shadowy figure could be vaguely seen moving inside the pupa.
“It feels like the thing inside is about to come out.”
Perhaps because his own level was too low, Han Fei now had to touch with his hands for the system to detect the target.
He had no choice, to figure out what was special about the insect pupae in front of him, he mustered his courage and reached his hand into the pile of corpses.
Avoiding the limbs of the corpses with his fingertips, a very thin Blood Silk suddenly emerged from underneath the insect pupa when Han Fei’s hand was still a few centimeters away, piercing directly into his finger like a silver needle.
The intense pain came, and Han Fei quickly withdrew his hand.
The human pupa in room 1064 had absorbed a large amount of fresh blood and had undergone some kind of change; not only had the thing inside awakened, but it seemed to be aware of the outside world.
“This guy seems intelligent, not like an ordinary bug,” said Han Fei, looking at the wound on his fingertip, which was small but deep.
“It seems to be of no use to me, and it’s very dangerous.” Han Fei took a lighter out of his pocket, which he had originally brought to light cigarettes in crucial moments.
“Are you a bug, a ghost, or something else?” A flickering flame appeared in the cold, gloomy room as Han Fei found some waste paper to light the broom on fire.
His shadow on the wall shook along with the flickering light as Han Fei held the ignited broom in his right hand and slowly approached the insect pupae with his left hand.
“Try stabbing me again?”
The trembling flame cast light on the insect pupae, and the tiny black shadow beneath its thin exterior writhed restlessly, with nowhere to escape.
One after another, the thin blood vessels were burned through, and Han Fei seemed to hear a scream near his ear, a sound that was both far and near, indistinct.
“Is it you who are crying out?”
Unmoved, Han Fei extended the lit broom above the insect pupae, and his other hand finally touched the blood-red human pupa.
“Attention Player 0000!
You have discovered a G-level blood-colored item—the Human Pupae.”
“Human Pupae (Blood-colored Item): A pupa of some insect species that has absorbed a large amount of fresh blood and curse, is in the final stages of preparation to emerge from its cocoon.”
Looking at the insect pupa among the corpses, Han Fei felt conflicted.
The pupa was about to emerge, and taking it away now might affect its development.
Han Fei was actually quite curious to see what would come out of this insect pupae since those outsiders had gone to great lengths just to nurture it.
But if he left the pupa here, Han Fei couldn’t stay online to guard it forever.
What if it emerged from its cocoon prematurely and escaped?
Have Xu Qin keep watch?
That wasn’t practical either.
“There are more than those two outsiders on the sixth floor; I haven’t checked the other three rooms yet.
If I leave it here, it will definitely be taken away by other outsiders.”
A few seconds later, Han Fei made his decision.
He reached out, tore off the blood vessels on the surface of the pupa, and stored it in his item bar.
As he tore off those blood vessels, the screams near his ear suddenly intensified, and strange noises came from the other rooms on the sixth floor.
“I should leave here first, even though I can log off at any time.
Being trapped in a room is still very dangerous.”
Han Fei didn’t want to lose the item he had found through his own efforts to someone else, so he decisively left room 1064.
“I’ve basically searched through this room, there’s nothing to linger over.”
Back on the fifth floor, Han Fei lightly knocked on the door of room 1052; he himself felt he had been to the fifth floor a bit too often.
“Sis, I found another insect pupa on the sixth floor.”
After the door opened, Han Fei handed over the insect pupa he found on the sixth floor to Xu Qin.
Xu Qin was also eager to know what would emerge from the insect pupae, and in the end, they decided to nurture the pupae in room 1051.
The creature inside the insect pupa was very smart; it sensed danger before entering room 1051 and kept screaming in despair.
Unfortunately, doing so only raised Xu Qin’s vigilance and curiosity.
“It seems like the pupa holds a cursed ghost inside; it’s quite special,” Xu Qin said, personally delivering the insect pupa to room 1051.
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure it grows.”
Returning to the fourth floor, Han Fei didn’t immediately enter his room; he remembered He Shouye and He Yuhuai.
He glanced down at the floor below, and Han Fei prepared to meet Cry, taking advantage of the fact that he could exit the game at any time.
When he got down to the third floor, Han Fei found the door of room 1034, which was covered in talisman papers, ajar, with a cold, gloomy aura seeping out of it.
Feeling the chill from the landlord’s ring, Han Fei felt hesitant again, his last venture into room 1034 had been a narrow escape from death.
As he wavered, that eerie sound of footsteps in the corridor rose again, and this time it seemed to be heading straight for Han Fei, faster than before.
“As I thought, I can’t linger in the corridor for too long.”
Han Fei dared not be careless and went straight into the room where Cry was.
After closing the security door, Han Fei felt as if he had entered an ice cave; he looked at the shattered furniture and torn talisman papers on the floor and felt somewhat guilty.
He walked over to the Spiritual Altar in the corner of the wall, and only after the footsteps in the corridor faded did he softly ask, “Cry?
Are you there?”
There was no response from within the room, and Cry, yearning for a friend and companionship, seemed to prefer not to see Han Fei.
“We had some misunderstandings before, and now I’ve learned some of your story…” Seeing that Cry still did not show, Han Fei moved back to the doorway, slowing his speech, “You should still remember the name He Yuhuai, right?”
Almost the instant Han Fei uttered those three words, the temperature in the room plummeted, the scattered fragments of talisman paper and Paper Money rustled, and a look of horror appeared on the faces of the Papermen.
From the shattered Spiritual Altar, a gaunt arm extended, and a vague shadow quietly emerged.
“Cry…” Han Fei wasn’t acting; he truly wanted to convey something heartfelt to Cry, “He Shouye is dead, but the sins he committed haven’t vanished.
There are Resentment Spirits waiting to exact revenge.
Can I ask you some questions?”
Merely hearing the name He Shouye made the shadow began to contort.
Faces of children appeared on its body as it scratched at itself in extreme agony, and black blood splattered continuously from its form.
“Calm down!
I won’t ask anymore, just calm down.”
The sight of Cry in such torment was too much; he seemed as if he wanted to tear off all of his own flesh, and it appeared that he harbored extreme loathing for a body containing He Shouye’s bloodline.
Han Fei could scarcely imagine the depth of despair and pain Cry must have experienced in the past, for him to hate that man so much even after becoming a ghost.
“Cry, that man is already dead, no one will hurt you again.”
After learning part of He Yuhuai’s past, Han Fei felt deep sympathy for this child.
He managed to suppress his fear, inching closer to Cry.
The diminutive shadow continued to self-mutilate in the chilling darkness of the room.
Despite what Han Fei said, nothing could stop Cry from tearing at himself.
Watching Cry completely lost in madness, Han Fei almost subconsciously made a move.
Opening his arms, Han Fei stood beside the Spiritual Altar, gently embracing Cry: “It’s alright now, it’s truly alright.
I’ll stay with you; may I stay with you, please?”
Black blood splashed onto Han Fei’s body, causing him searing pain, but he did not let go,
His body numb from the cold, Han Fei’s heart was warm, though he himself did not understand why he was doing this.
He was very scared and uncomfortable, but his desire to stop Cry was even greater.
In his view, Cry hadn’t done anything wrong; the one who should suffer this pain was He Shouye.
It took several minutes for Cry to calm down.
At that point, Han Fei was utterly exhausted; he no longer planned to continue questioning Cry, as it was too painful for Cry.
Slowly, he let go of his embrace, and the slender shadow remained standing beside the Spiritual Altar, having shown no reaction from beginning to end.
“If you feel lonely in the future, I can come to keep you company.
I’ll be your friend, a real friend,” Han Fei said gently, seeing no response from Cry, he sighed softly and walked toward the door.
Just as he was about to reach the door, Han Fei suddenly seemed to remember something; he turned his head to look at Cry, standing forlornly in the corner of the room: “You lost the Hide-and-Seek game to me, remember?
A bet is a bet, and you promised to do three things for me.”
Mentioning the previous game of Hide-and-Seek, the slender shadow finally reacted.
Seeing that Cry was finally willing to listen, Han Fei’s face softened with a gentle expression, “The first thing I need you to do is, no matter what happens, never hurt yourself again.”
The drooping head slowly lifted, and as Cry looked at Han Fei, he had already stepped out of room 1034.
Dragging his weary body and about to head to the fourth floor, the voice of the system suddenly echoed in Han Fei’s mind.
“Player number 0000, please take note!
Five points of friendliness added for He Yuhuai!
Harmonious neighborhood relations are the first step to a Perfect Life!”
