A cold, synthesized mechanical voice rang out in his Brain Sea, but Han Fei did not let it distract him; all his attention was focused on the television screen.The bizarre animation had not yet finished playing. On the screen, the monster pieced together from human bodies was still standing behind the sofa.The little person had already been dismembered, and there were bloodstains everywhere in the room. The monster did not feel relieved after the slaughter; its appearance seemed even more painful.Beneath its split skin, several human faces were biting each other, and the trace of humanity that Wei Youfu and A Mei had just regained seemed to be dissipating once again.Han Fei did not know what would happen next, but he was very clear in his heart that the reason he had not been dragged away by the monster just now was entirely because Wei Youfu and A Mei had influenced it.If those two faces representing Wei Youfu and A Mei were injured or lost their sanity again, he would still face a death threat next time."People who died in reality are appearing in the game. I don't understand their current state, but one thing is certain—they still retain some of their past memories. At least Wei Youfu and A Mei can understand my words."Watching the pained monster on the TV, Han Fei fought the urge to look back and said softly, "A life that should have been full of Happiness was ruined by that perverted Murderer, so you want revenge?"What Han Fei said was actually a platitude; he was just summarizing the monster's behavior in words. But in reality, this sentence could bridge the distance between Han Fei and the monster, while simultaneously diverting its hatred.The one who caused all the tragedy was not the innocent Han Fei, nor was it Wei Youfu and A Mei, who were also victims; it was the person who murdered them.Although Han Fei had never studied psychology, he had visited psychologists many times due to his severe social phobia. He clearly remembered a sentence posted on the wall of one doctor's office—put down your own world and accept the world of others.If you want to comfort someone who has suffered pain, do not limit the definition of pain to the scope of what you yourself can understand.Because you have not suffered it yourself, do not try to communicate using your own way of thinking. What a good psychologist would do at this time is to listen patiently.Han Fei himself did not understand these things; he just felt that when he was with a certain doctor, the other person doing this made him feel more comfortable, so now he positioned himself as that doctor.In the Haunted House at over three in the morning, beside the ghost pieced together from human bodies, he chose to be a listener with his back to the monster.He could not see the monster's ugly and terrifying appearance, only hear that painful sound."You must have been here for a long time..."Han Fei recalled the speaking techniques of that doctor in his Brain Sea, giving the most thoughtful comfort based on the other party's psychological activities.Slowly, the animation on the television screen changed.The two faces on the monster representing Wei Youfu and A Mei stopped resisting. They seemed touched by Han Fei's words, and a trace of humanity appeared on their originally crazy and terrifying faces.Seeing Wei Youfu and A Mei like this, the remaining faces became even more hysterical, as if they wanted to inflict the pain and despair they had originally intended to vent on Han Fei onto Wei Youfu and A Mei.Those faces could not listen to Han Fei's words at all; the pain in their hearts seemed much deeper than that of the first two victims."The later the time of death, the greater the pain the victim suffered? What exactly did the Murderer of the Human Body Puzzle Case do to them?"The animation on the TV must be what happened in reality. Han Fei watched as Wei Youfu and A Mei were about to be torn apart, and he knew he could not let this continue.The two victims had finally regained a trace of humanity after listening to his words; this was the key to changing everything.If he let them be eaten by the other victims, then next time he might have to face an even crazier monster that didn't even care about cannibalism!Slowly standing up, Han Fei's Newbie Mission was already complete, and he could exit the game at any time, so now was his bravest moment."You two saved me once; I won't leave you two, husband and wife, behind and walk away alone.""If the other victims want to vent their anger, I'll just find them a target."Walking quickly to the door of the Living Room, as soon as Han Fei moved, the monster also moved. The other five faces were not prepared to let Han Fei go; pain and despair had already twisted them.Smelling the faint scent of blood in the air, Han Fei knew the Neighbor at the door had not left. "If the Neighbor from the Sixth Floor doesn't intend to hurt me, then I will communicate with him properly and think of a way to control the monster in the Haunted House together. If he has murderous intent towards me, then I can only lure him into the room and let him become the target for the victims to vent their anger."Wei Youfu and A Mei were about to be eaten, and the monster was getting closer and closer to losing control. Han Fei did not dare to delay, directly grabbed the anti-theft door, and pulled it open!The moment the door panel opened, a sharp knife stabbed in through the crack.Having long been prepared, Han Fei dodged it by a hair's breadth.The Neighbor outside seemed to know there was a problem with this room and had no intention of entering the Haunted House deeply. Han Fei also saw this. Just as the Neighbor was withdrawing the knife, he grabbed the other party's arm holding the knife with both hands and used all his strength to drag him into the room!"Bang!"The two fell to the ground. The Neighbor from the Sixth Floor seemed to have sensed something and hurriedly got up, but Han Fei's reaction was faster and more decisive than his.Without trying to dash away, and without touching the doorknob, Han Fei slammed his body directly against the Room Door, closing the anti-theft door!He locked both himself and the Neighbor from the Sixth Floor inside the room.The eerie cold light of the television illuminated both their faces. The Neighbor from the Sixth Floor originally gave people a feeling of being crazy and obsessed with blood, but now he seemed to have sobered up.There was a new intruder in the Haunted House, and those desperate faces all looked towards the Neighbor from the Sixth Floor, and this time Wei Youfu and A Mei did not stop them.A huge shadow shrouded the room, and the monster in the TV, tortured by despair and pain, rushed over from the Living Room.The Neighbor from the Sixth Floor reacted quickly too; he immediately grabbed for the doorknob, but Han Fei slammed him down hard.The two fell to the ground together. The desperate Neighbor's eyes were blood-red, staring fixedly at Han Fei. The other party's appearance of being obsessed with blood was completely gone, leaving only anger and confusion in his eyes, as if he were saying with his eyes—do you want to drag me to death with you that much?The monster, tortured to the point of madness by despair and pain, had already grabbed the Neighbor, and in the darkness, it seemed that countless arms were hidden.That Neighbor struggled desperately, using the most vicious language to greet Han Fei.Watching as the Neighbor was dragged inch by inch into the depths of the room, Han Fei squeezed out an ugly expression at the Neighbor from the Sixth Floor: "Welcome to the warm, big family of Happiness."Thanks to Lan Lin for the grand patronage!
