Chapter 64 The First Thing I Want You to Do
The human pupa's skin is covered with densely packed things that look like blood vessels, and it is absorbing nutrients from the remaining limbs.
"Outsiders came into the community and killed people just to raise this thing?"
The human pupa in the bedroom was very different from the one in Han Fei's hand. He didn't dare to touch it casually. Instead, he found a broom and poked it gently a few times.
The skin of the human pupa had become very thin, almost transparent. When Han Fei touched the other party with the broom, he could vaguely see a black shadow moving inside the human pupa.
“It feels like the stuff inside is about to come out.”
Perhaps because his level was too low, Han Fei now had to touch it with his hand before the system could detect the target object.
He had no choice but to find out what was so special about the insect pupa in front of him, so he bravely reached his hand into the pile of corpses.
His fingertips avoided the remains of the corpse. When Han Fei's hand was still a few centimeters away from the pupa, a very thin thread of blood suddenly emerged from under the pupa and pierced Han Fei's finger directly like a silver needle.
Feeling severe pain, Han Fei quickly stopped.
The human pupa in room 1064 has absorbed a large amount of blood and has undergone some changes. Not only has the thing inside the pupa awakened, it also seems to be able to sense the outside world.
"This guy seems to be intelligent, not like an ordinary bug." Han Fei looked at the wound on his fingertips. Although the wound was not big, it was very deep.
"It seems to be of no use to me and very dangerous." Han Fei took out the lighter from his pocket. He brought this thing with him originally to light cigarettes at critical moments.
"Are you a bug or a ghost? Or something else?" A flickering flame appeared in the cold room, and Han Fei found some waste paper and lit the broom.
His shadow on the wall swayed with the firelight. Han Fei held the burning broom in his right hand and slowly approached the insect pupa with his left hand.
"Would you like to try stabbing me again?"
The flickering firelight illuminated the pupa. Under the thin outer skin, a tiny black shadow was trembling uneasily, but it had nowhere to escape.
One after another tiny blood vessels were burned off, and Han Fei seemed to hear a scream in his ears. The sound was far away and near, and erratic.
"Are you crying?"
Han Fei remained unmoved. He extended the burning broom over the insect pupa, and his other hand finally touched the blood-red human pupa.
"Player No. 0000, please note! You have discovered a G-level bloody item - the human pupa."
“Human Pupa (bloody item): The pupa of a certain insect, which has absorbed a large amount of blood and curses. It is making the final preparations to break out of the pupa.”
Looking at the insect pupae in the pile of corpses, Han Fei felt a little confused.
The other party will soon break out of the cocoon. If it is taken away now, it may affect its development. Han Fei actually wants to see what can run out of the pupa. After all, those outsiders have gone to great lengths to feed the pupa.
But if the pupa is left here, Han Fei can't keep watch over it online all the time. What if it breaks out of the pupa and escapes early?
Let Xu Qin watch over it? That's not realistic either.
"There are more than just those two outsiders on the sixth floor. I haven't looked in the other three rooms yet. If I leave it here, it will definitely be taken away by other outsiders."
After a few seconds, Han Fei made a decision. He reached out and tore off the blood vessels on the pupa's skin and put it into the inventory.
As he severed those blood vessels, the screams in his ears suddenly became louder, and strange noises were also heard from other rooms on the sixth floor.
"Let's leave here first. Even if we can log off at any time, it's still very dangerous to be trapped in the room."
Han Fei didn't want the things he picked up with his own ability to be taken away by others, so he decisively left room 1064.
"I've basically gone through this house, there's nothing to miss."
Back on the fifth floor, Han Fei knocked lightly on the door of room 1052. He felt that he had come to the fifth floor too many times.
"Sister, I found another insect pupa on the sixth floor."
After the door was opened, Han Fei gave the insect pupae he found on the sixth floor to Xu Qin. Xu Qin also wanted to know what would fly out of the insect pupae. Finally, the two decided to keep the insect pupae in room 1051.
The thing inside the pupa was very smart. It sensed the danger before entering room 1051 and kept screaming. Unfortunately, the result of its actions was to arouse Xu Qin's vigilance and curiosity.
"It seems like there's a cursed ghost trapped inside the pupa. It's very special." Xu Qin personally sent the pupa to room 1051: "Don't worry, I will raise it."
After returning to the fourth floor, Han Fei did not enter the room immediately. He thought of what happened to He Shouye and He Yuhuai.
Glancing downstairs, Han Fei prepared to go and cry while he could quit the game at any time.
Going down to the third floor, Han Fei found that the door of room 1034, which was covered with talismans, was not closed, and a cold breath permeated from it.
Feeling the coolness coming from the landlord's ring, Han Fei retreated again. The last time he entered room 1034, he was almost dead.
While he was hesitating, the strange footsteps in the corridor sounded again. This time, the other party seemed to be running directly towards Han Fei, and the speed was even faster than last time.
"I really can't stay in the corridor for too long."
Han Fei did not dare to be careless and went straight into the room where the crying girl was.
After closing the security door, Han Fei felt as if he had entered an ice cave. He looked at the broken furniture and torn talisman paper on the floor, feeling a little embarrassed.
He walked to the altar in the corner, and after the footsteps in the corridor disappeared, he asked softly, "Crying? Are you there?"
There was no response from inside the house. The girl who was longing for friends and company didn't seem to want to see Han Fei.
"We had some misunderstandings before. I know some stories about you..." Han Fei saw that he still didn't cry. He retreated to the door and slowed down his speech: "You should still remember the name He Yuhuai, right?"
Almost at the moment Han Fei said these three words, the temperature in the room dropped instantly. The fragments of talisman paper and paper money scattered on the ground rustled, and expressions of fear appeared on the faces of the paper figures.
A skinny arm stretched out from the broken altar, and a vague black shadow quietly emerged.
"Ku..." Han Fei didn't act. He sincerely wanted to say something to Ku: "He Shouye is dead, but the crimes he committed have not disappeared. There are vengeful spirits waiting for justice. Can I ask you some questions?"
Just hearing He Shouye's name, the black shadow began to twist, and children's faces appeared on its body. It scratched its body in extreme pain, and black blood continued to splash from it.
"Calm down! I won't ask any more questions. Just calm down."
The way he cried now was too painful, as if all the flesh on his body wanted to be dug out. The child seemed to extremely hate this body that contained He Shouye's blood.
Han Fei simply couldn't imagine how desperate and painful things Ku had experienced before he became a ghost, which made him hate that person so much.
"Cry, that person is dead, no one will hurt you again."
After Han Fei learned some of He Yuhuai's experience, he felt very sympathetic towards the child.
At this moment, he suppressed his fear and approached the other party little by little.
The thin black shadow was madly torturing himself in the cold and dark room. No matter what Han Fei said, he could not stop the crying that was tearing him apart. He looked at the crying that had completely fallen into madness and made a move almost subconsciously.
Han Fei stretched out his arms, stood beside the altar, and gently hugged her: "It's okay, it's really okay, I'll stay with you, okay?"
Black blood splattered on Han Fei's body, and his whole body was in pain, but he did not let go.
His body was numb from the cold, but Han Fei's heart was warm. He didn't know why he did this.
He was very scared and uncomfortable now, but what he wanted more was to stop crying.
In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with crying, and it was He Shouye who should bear the pain.
It took several minutes before the crying subsided.
Han Fei was exhausted at this point, and he wasn't going to continue asking questions, as it would be too painful for him to cry.
Slowly loosening his hand, the thin black shadow still stood beside the altar, without making any reaction from beginning to end.
"If you feel lonely in the future, I can come and accompany you. I will be your friend, a real friend." Han Fei saw that there was still no response from crying. He sighed softly and walked towards the door.
When he was about to reach the door, Han Fei seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned his head and looked at the crying girl standing alone in the corner of the room: "You lost the game of hide-and-seek to me. I have to admit defeat. Do you remember that you promised to help me do three things?"
When the previous game of hide-and-seek was mentioned, the thin black shadow finally reacted.
Seeing that Ku was finally willing to listen to him , Han Fei showed a gentle expression on his face: "The first thing I need you to do is to stop hurting yourself no matter what happens in the future."
She slowly raised her head, and when she looked at Han Fei, Han Fei had already walked out of room 1034.
Han Fei was about to walk to the fourth floor with his tired body when the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Player No. 0000, please note! He Yuhuai's friendliness level has increased by 5! Harmonious neighborhood relations are the first step to a perfect life!"
