Chapter 194: 194

He was previously playing an Iyashikei game happily, wrapped up in the warmth of his own home. He was decorating the room with the nurse NPC who came to visit, they talked about his vision for the future. But the next second, he appeared on a hellish field. His familiar friend’s legs were snapped at a curious angle, his single arm was missing and he was covered in blood. Before he could react, a human head was tossed towards him like a baseball!

To have fallen from heaven to hell had taken less than a second for Huang Yin. The monsters which could only exist in nightmares rushed towards him, not one, not two, or three, four but a whole horde of them. Honestly, Huang Yin could not explain how he managed to escape. At the time, his mind was blank and his body was acting on instinct. He had no plan other than to run!

Thankfully the front gates were close to where he was. If he was required to get to the back gates, things might have turned out differently. In a way, he had no idea whether he was lucky or not. When Han Fei held the conversation with Jin Sheng, Huang Yin was still trying to wrap his head around the whole situation. He appeared to have wandered from one nightmare to another. Looking at the decrepit room with pill bottles, blood stains and other medical contraption, he did not dare to even move.

“Brother Huang, are you alright?” With a friendly smile on his face, Han Fei reached towards Huang Yin, “I know everything that happened tonight was a bit sudden but I assure you that it was absolutely necessary.” If not for Huang Yin, Han Fei would be trapped forever inside the manager mission so Han Fei was deeply appreciative of the good doctor. “I see that you are still in a state of shock. Normally, I should give you more time to take things in but we do not have that luxury of time.” There were still outsiders at Yi Ming Private Academy. Han Fei needed to capture them to shake them for information about the Ziggurat. “The killer for the human jigsaw case, the frozen body case and the case of the foretold deaths might have seen you and we need to plan for that.”

Some light finally returned to Huang Yin’s dull eyes and Han Fei slowly gave out a sigh. “We better leave this room first, we’ll talk on the way.” He picked up Huang Yin from the floor. Perhaps the warmth from the living provided some normalcy for Huang Yin as some color returned to his face.

“Is there anything you wish to ask me?” Han Fei did not know where to start so he turned the questions to Huang Yin and he’d answer any questions thrown his way.

“I…” This was the first time Huang Yin ever had the chance to speak since he was summoned to this world. A normal person would have fainted by now, Huang Yin was still conscious because this was not his first time at the rodeo. However, this time, things were a lot more terrifying than the last. There were so many questions in his mind. Huang Yin’s lips opened but he did not know where to begin. He grabbed Han Fei’s left arm which was not supposed to be there. He examined it and was about to say something when the infirmary door shoved open. The honest Ol’ Lee rushed into the room. “Are you alright?”

Instantly, the smell of decomposition filled up the room. A mobile ghost lair that was Ol’ Lee stopped before Han Fei and Huang Yin. Ol’ Lee reached for Han Fei with worry and concern. He studied Han Fei and the weak Huang Yin for signs of distress. This was supposed to be a concerned look but it delivered a horrendous blow to Huang Yin’s psyche. From Huang Yin’s perspective, he just wanted to check on Han Fei’s new friend but from Huang Yin’s perspective, he saw a mountain of ghostly visage leaned towards him.

He landed on his butt. Huang Yin’s pants were soaked in blood and he could feel the sticky liquid cold against his skin.

“There are still outsiders at the school. We mustn’t let our guard down, we will go capture them now!” Han Fei wanted to borrow Ol’ Lee’s power to apprehend the rest of the outsiders. He conversed naturally with Ol’ Lee like he could not see the group of ghosts draped over the security guard. Seeing this, Huang Yin panicked even more. ‘Am I the only one who can see the ghosts?!’ It was not surprising that Huang Yin would come to that conclusion, mainly because Han Fei’s acting skill was too good. After all, the man was a master actor.

“Okay!” Ol’ Lee turned to leave the infirmary. The 2 metres tall bloody woman who stood on tiptoe swept a glance at Han Fei before turning her gaze on Huang Yin.

“Brother, there’s a ghost following behind him!” Huang Yin gripped Han Fei’s sleeves until his knuckles were white. He would give everything to escape from this nightmare. After Ol’ Lee left the room, Han Fei helped to pick Huang Yin up from the ground.

“Can, can you not see them? His body was surrounded by ghosts! There were at least 10 of them! Can you not see them?!” Huang Yin demanded agitatedly.

“Of course I can.” Han Fei shrugged, “But seeing them and pointing them out are two different things.”

“But why?!”

“It’s called being courteous.” Han Fei was about to explain further when a loud noise came from the first floor of the education block. Han Fei looked out through the infirmary window and saw Zhang Guanxing fighting with a monster that was formed from Ma Manjiang’s 4 sons. Zhang Guanxing was on the losing side but the young man appeared to have gone insane. Ignoring the wounds that appeared on his body, he threw himself into the battle.

“What exactly is Zhang Guanxing doing?” Han Fei felt something was not right. Zhang Guanxing did not appear like a reckless young man. Fighting on all 4, Ma Manjiang’s 4 sons joined their bodies together. The surface of its skin was surrounded by a thick blood scab. But most importantly, hidden among the four heads was a weakened human face. When he saw that face, blood boiled within Han Fei!

“Ma! Man! Jiang!” When he woke up from the manager mission, Ma Manjiang in the cryptic world had dissolved into a puddle. Based on Jin Sheng’s observation, the blue butterfly had drained Ma Manjiang of all his energy to escape from the school. At the time, Han Fei felt quite a pang of regret for he was not not given the chance to apprehend Ma Manjiang personally. He had been conversing too deeply with Jin Sheng to realize the dead body which was melting away. It was not until he saw the four boys’ heads shielding Ma Manjiang’s face that Han Fei understood everything.

Normally, after a ghost’s resentment was fully drained, their body would not slowly dissolve, instead they would instantly disintegrate into nothingness!

Ma Manjiang left his body behind and covered his body with cuts to fool Jin Sheng. Since he was weakened by the blue butterfly, he was not a match for Jin Sheng. To prevent himself from being discovered, he came up with this solution. Abandoning the body which was formed from negative energy, Ma Manjiang used it to distract Jin Sheng, while his last shred of consciousness escaped into his sons’ body. He made use of this opening to escape. This cunning bastard managed to fool Jin Sheng who was at the edge of insanity.

Unfortunately, the man was unlucky to have run into Zhang Guanxing in his attempt to escape from Yi Ming Private Academy. After he sneaked away from the education block, he encountered people whom he once injured. Han Fei died so many times in the manager mission. The bone-piercing pain returned alongside his memory and it now gushed towards his heart. Han Fei would not forget those pains any time soon. His eyes were red as he took out the red paper doll from his inventory.

“Brother Huang, do you mind waiting for me here? I’ll be right back.”
