Chapter 71 The Last Time in Life
"Don't be impulsive!" Han Fei noticed that Meng Changxi's tone was wrong, and he immediately persuaded him: "The police have been to the Donghua Ice Factory. They know your plan. You can't hurt Meng Changan by running to Xinhu International Plaza now. It will only increase the police's suspicion of you."
"The schedule was originally written for the police. I update different plans every day, but the real plan will not be written on paper." No one can guess what Meng Changxi is going to do: "Meng Changan and Meng Changshou are both murderers, but in the final analysis, the real murderer is the butterfly. Even if Meng Changan and Meng Changshou are brought to justice, the butterfly that caused all these tragedies can still go unpunished. It hides behind the scenes and has never shown up."
"Let's take it step by step. Let's catch Meng Changan first."
"But I don't have that much time." Meng Changxi turned around, revealing a large area of festering wounds on his back: "I bear the stigma of murdering my mother, and I endure the accusation and slander of the real murderer. I live in pain, so now I want to have a wonderful ending."
Han Fei probably understood what Meng Changxi meant. He wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Meng Changxi: "After you find the evidence, you must pay attention to your own safety."
"Don't worry about me." Han Fei nodded.
"You are too deeply involved in this case. The butterfly will definitely find you! So you can never be too careful. I have been hiding from place to place for the past ten years. I almost died accidentally several times. Now I think those accidents might have been the butterfly watching me."
"Accidental Death?"
"Butterflies like to play with human nature and create some kind of coincidence. Two seemingly unrelated things may cost you your life." Meng Changxi told Han Fei everything he needed to pay attention to. After he finished his instructions, he pointed to the door and said, "Let's go. Don't look back after you leave here. Just pretend that we have never met. I hope this will delay the butterfly's attention to you."
Han Fei stood in the room without moving. He knew that this would most likely be the last time he would see Meng Changxi.
Seeing Han Fei's hesitation, Meng Changxi showed his slightly human side for the first time. He patted Han Fei on the shoulder and said, "The luckiest thing for me in the past ten years is that I met you when I was almost dead. If you really want to catch the butterfly, if you really want to avenge the dead, if you really want to know everything, then do as I say."
Meng Changxi tried his best to smile. The scar was pulled and his expression was very scary: "I didn't mean to scare you. I just haven't laughed for ten years. Now I have forgotten how to laugh."
His last words touched Han Fei.
"I hope your plan goes well, and I wish you good luck."
After Han Fei finished speaking, he left Wei Youfu's father's house and rushed to the address Meng Changxi told him.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Han Fei arrived at the outskirts of Xinhu, where there was almost no one.
With the development of technology, cities are getting bigger and bigger. Many people would rather squeeze into a honeycomb apartment of more than ten square meters in the core area than go to the suburbs to live alone.
Walking on a rare dirt road, Han Fei found the Happy Community that Meng Changxi mentioned behind an abandoned chemical plant.
This place has been abandoned for a long time, with weeds growing everywhere and the walls severely corroded by rain. There is also a warning sign for a dangerous building next to it.
But even the warning sign was many years old and was covered with rust, and it could fall off at any time.
"This building has exactly ten floors, the same , but the layout of the corridors is completely different from the game, and most of the residents have wooden doors."
With doubts, Han Fei carefully entered the apartment building.
There was a musty smell in the air, and garbage and badly damaged furniture were everywhere. It seemed that even homeless people rarely visited this place, and many things were covered with thick dust.
Arriving on the fourth floor, Han Fei looked at Room 1044 in front of him and had a strange feeling, as if reality and the game overlapped here.
Holding the door handle, Han Fei exerted a little force and found that the door hinge had been broken.
Entering the house, Han Fei shuddered.
Although it was daytime, the room was very gloomy. Various paper furniture were placed in the living room.
"It feels like this house is prepared for the dead."
Because of the building layout, it was difficult for sunlight to enter the living room, and many of the paper figures and paper furniture filled with some kind of stuffing had become moldy and emitted a foul smell.
"Meng Changxi asked me to go to the bathroom."
Walking through the pile of paper furniture, Han Fei pushed open the bathroom door and found the information Meng Changxi mentioned under the fourth floor tile.
After opening it, Han Fei saw a bloody letter.
Seven addresses were marked on the letter, corresponding to seven rooms in the building, where the body parts of the victims of the human puzzle that have not been found yet were buried.
This also seems to be part of the ritual, connecting the locations of the seven rooms, a bit like the wings of a butterfly.
"How much does Butterfly know about the Black Box and the deeper world of Perfect Life? Why is there a building in the game that is similar to the one in reality?"
After memorizing the numbers of the seven rooms, Han Fei continued to look through the information. It was no coincidence that the murderer of the human puzzle pattern chose this building to bury some of the bodies.
This building was a haunted house decades ago. There are many strange stories and rumors about it. It was also a famous suicide site in Xinhu at that time.
Taking out his mobile phone, Han Fei searched for Xinhu Xingfu Community, and dozens of messages popped up instantly.
Those news reports looked like a collection of ghost stories, which was simply unbelievable.
"In the human puzzle, Butterfly buried parts of the victims' bodies in the haunted building, and then used their parts and the eighth victim to piece together the most horrifying corpse. That corpse met their requirements of misfortune, despair, and pain. However, judging from the final result, they still did not find the black box."
Han Fei read the information left by Meng Changxi. In addition to detailed information about the human body puzzle pattern, it also recorded a lot of content related to butterflies.
He was about to read it carefully when a popular push notification suddenly popped up on his phone page.
In the past, Han Fei didn't pay any attention to these things, but this time was different. He saw that the picture accompanying the push was Meng Changxi, whose face was completely disfigured!
Click on the push and you will see the live broadcast.
Meng Changxi, shirtless, calmly stared at the person sitting next to him. He seemed to be in a TV station or a live broadcast company. "I won't hurt anyone in this room, but the premise is that you don't cut off the signal or do anything else."
I don't know who he was talking to. After he finished speaking, he looked at the camera and said, "Meng Changan, I know that even if I sacrifice my life, I may not be able to walk to your side and communicate with you, so I can only use this method."
