Chapter 100: Family in this World
The last time Han Fei wanted to pull the girl out of the monster, the monster's body collapsed halfway through.
He had never understood why, but now he had figured it out.
The girl's body is intertwined with the bodies of the seven victims. If you want to pull the girl out of the monster's body and prevent the monster from disappearing, you have to find "flesh and blood" to replace the girl and fill the monster's body!
Ordinary "flesh and blood" certainly won't work; only the victim's original body can be completely integrated with it.
Holding the girl in one hand, Han Fei dragged the girl out while continuously putting the human puzzle pieces he found into the hole in the monster's heart.
The puzzle pieces that Han Fei found retained some of the victims' emotions and humanity. After the originally desperate and painful monster merged with the human body puzzle, it gradually became less manic.
"Hold me! Don't let go!"
Many people have played jigsaw puzzles, but few have experienced piecing together a soul with flesh and blood.
There is a special relationship between the seven roommates and Han Fei. Their broken souls gradually become complete after being pieced together bit by bit by Han Fei.
When Han Fei completely pulled the girl out of the monster's body, there was only one gap left on the monster's chest.
Taking out the seventh piece of the human body puzzle from the inventory, Han Fei put it into the gap before the monster collapsed.
All the black and red blood vessels began to contract and the hideous monster let out a painful roar. Its body was already intact, but the situation was still not optimistic.
The resentment that was rising to the sky almost blew the roof off. All the pain and despair that the seven victims had endured in their lives turned into their strength.
"I finally understand why the building manager didn't put them together. Their combined grievances may upset the balance of power in the building."
The surface of his skin seemed to be frozen, and Han Fei felt that his consciousness was about to be frozen. His body was involuntarily sucked towards the monster. If he didn't stop the monster, he might be killed by the monster with a slight movement.
"Wake up!"
Han Fei's shouting had no effect. He opened the property panel and stared at the exit button.
But just when Han Fei was about to quit the game, the girl who had been standing there blankly and whose heart was as pure as a blank sheet of paper suddenly walked towards the monster at the center of the resentment.
It was too late for Han Fei to stop her. He watched as the girl stopped barefoot beside the monster and hugged the ferocious monster with attachment and reluctance.
To the girl, the monster made up of the other seven victims was like her only family.
With the girl's comfort, the resentment that was rising in the sky slowly dissipated, and new changes began to take place in the monster's body.
The flesh and blood reorganized, and a crack appeared on the monster's chest. Amid the terrible sounds of bones breaking and flesh being torn, victims crawled out of the monster's chest one by one.
They were arranged in order of time of death, and when the last dead person crawled out of the monster's chest, the originally huge and terrifying monster completely turned into black smoke and dissipated.
In the small bedroom, eight victims stood together, and the resentment that had risen to the sky slowly disappeared, as if it was hidden deep in their hearts.
"Player No. 0000, please note! You have successfully completed the F-rank mission - Human Jigsaw Puzzle! You have gained three times the experience! You have gained one additional free skill point as a basic reward, and your friendliness level with victims of the Human Jigsaw Puzzle including Wei Youfu has increased by ten!"
"Player No. 0000, please take note! Since you have completed an F-rank mission and pieced together the soul of the deceased, you will be awarded an additional rare reward - an F-rank ability that allows you to touch the secrets deep within the soul."
"Touch the secrets deep in the soul (low-level ordinary ability, can be upgraded using skill points): When the other party is not deliberately guarding against you, your hands can touch the regret, resentment, and the body of the ghost, and feel the emotional fluctuations in the other party's heart."
"Player No. 0000, please note! You have successfully upgraded to Level 7! Free attribute points increased by one!"
In a very short period of time, Han Fei completed two F-level tasks in succession.
The previous manager mission gave a generous experience reward, which directly allowed Han Fei to reach most of level 6. Now he completed an F-level mission in a higher stage, and the system gave him a triple experience reward again, allowing him to directly reach level 7.
"Touching the secrets deep within the soul? This ability sounds powerful. If I can touch ghosts directly, then can I do a lot of things when they are not paying attention?"
Han Fei added the free skill points he gained to the ability of Touching Souls, turning it into the low-level second level, and then added the attribute points gained from the upgrade to his physical strength. Now his physical strength has reached ten.
The benefits of this F-level task are not only system rewards, but also many hidden rewards.
The eight roommates in the room no longer had any intention to kill Han Fei. They looked at Han Fei calmly, as if they had completely accepted Han Fei.
There are two other points worth noting. After the victims regained their incomplete humanity, their strength generally increased dramatically, with Wei Youfu being an exception.
The cold aura he exuded not only did not increase, but instead weakened a lot.
Wei Youfu seemed to be intentionally sharing his power with other victims. He was trying to control his emotions and consciousness and regain his sanity.
"Blessed?" Han Fei called softly.
Wei Youfu, who had his head lowered, heard Han Fei's voice and looked directly at him. He even managed a smile on his face. His pale lips trembled slightly, and he finally uttered two words: "Thank you."
"You can communicate with me normally!" Han Fei was a little excited. Although Meng Shi and Xu Qin in the building were able to remain rational, they did so at the cost of sealing some of their memories. Wei Youfu's situation was obviously different from theirs. Han Fei seemed to have done something that the previous building director had not done.
Seeing Han Fei's intense reaction, Wei Youfu smiled again. He nodded slightly and began to try to control the resentment in his body.
"Player No. 0000, please note! You have been recognized by Wei Youfu, and your relationship is defined as family!"
The system's voice suddenly sounded, and Han Fei looked through the attribute panel. In the Family column of the Life Map, he found the names of all the victims!
All the efforts during this period were not in vain. Han Fei's actions were seen and remembered by his roommates.
"family?"
Han Fei was stunned when he suddenly received a prompt from the system. This word, which was very familiar to many people, was a little unfamiliar to him.
Han Fei was a little overwhelmed when he suddenly heard the word "family".
He has been trying every possible way to survive. To be honest, he is willing to risk his life to help the victims of the human puzzle, partly so that he can survive better.
Han Fei's initial idea was just to gain the other party's recognition, but when he actually completed the human body puzzle task, he discovered that Wei Youfu and the others had already regarded him as a family member.
"Did they never intend to hurt me in the first place? Were they just worried that they wouldn't be able to control themselves?"
Scenes flashed through Han Fei's mind. Seven victims were looking at him hiding under the quilt in the living room, and eight people were sitting in front of the TV watching a show together. These scenes were obviously very scary, but thinking about them now made Han Fei feel a little warm.
"Do I have a family now?"
