Chapter 235: 235

The timing that Han Fei caught was perfect. When he raced towards the deepest room, the factory manager and the other monster were fully occupied by Xu Qin. The manager’s blood vessels extended from inside this room so there had to be some kind of secret inside it. ‘After the factory manager is killed, all those tortured human souls should be saved!’

Resisting the pain as the snake crawled into the ghost tattoo, Han Fei ran as fast as he could towards the blood red door. The mist became more liquid the nearer he got, Han Fei felt like a fish swimming against a bloody current. The wounds on his body reopened and pain contorted his features. He could leave the game now but if he left, what would happen to the rest of his friends and neighbours?

Biting his lips until they bled, Han Fei gripped Familicide and finally charged into the room where the manager lived. When he crossed the threshold, a shrill shout came from behind him!

As if sensing something, the manager abandoned the fight with Xu Qin and his mountain-like body bulldozed towards Han Fei. Once the door was blocked, Han Fei would have no chance of escaping but Han Fei was not left with much choice now. This was a rare opportunity, he mustn’t waste it.

The moment he entered the room, his eyes were covered in red. The room was like a giant heart, the walls, floor, and ceiling were laid with thick blood vessels. Brackish blood flowed through them, standing inside the room, Han Fei could still hear the blood gurgling into the bottomless blood pool. ‘The blood vessels that grew out from the manager’s back connect it to the entire factory. It uses them to control all the machines and tools inside the factory.’

The more dangerous the situation, the more careful Han Fei was. Panic would not help his situation, only by staying collected that his chance at survival would increase. The minute Han Fei entered the room, he waved the bone-paring knife wildly about. He used the hatred from the family of six to slice through all the vessels in the room. Only by inhibiting the manager’s ability to control the items inside the factory that Han Fei had the chance to rescue the people on the scale or else those rusted iron hooks could have punctured his frail body easily.

Black and red blood splattered everywhere. Han Fei’s body was drenched in blood. He gritted his teeth and continued, ‘This is still not enough!’ The blood with deep malice rained down on him. They scorched out blistering wounds on his skin but Han Fei ignored them.

A strange tingling sound reverberated inside the factory. The factory manager wished to make Han Fei into minced meat. It did not expect someone to be hiding inside its factory, someone who knew how to use a butcher’s knife!

The blood and wounds weighed down Han Fei’s arms. He continued to slash as he moved deeper into the room. He plunged the blade into the location where the vessels were most concentrated. When the last vessel was severed, the whole factory started to shake as if they were hit by an earthquake. The iron hooks bounced against each other. The edge of the blood pool started to crack, even the onyx-colored scale started to tip!

Han Fei had done everything he could. The monster was almost at the door as well. His exit was about to be blocked. Han Fei held the knife in his unwounded right hand. He had to leave because he still had other things to do. Without any hesitation, Han Fei headed towards the door, it felt like he was attempting to ram into the monster which was multiple his size. ‘Fuck it!’

The thick smog of blood mixed with decomposition. Han Fei did not decelerate, he had to leave this room no matter what! The blood paper doll that he released earlier blocked the manager for another second. It was this precious second that allowed Han Fei to slip out from the room!

Due to inertia, Han Fei could not avoid running into the monster’s gigantic body. The only thing Han Fei could do was to twirl his body around and turn his back against the monster. When he finished Zhang Guanxing’s hidden mission, he obtained the passive effect that could lower the damage to his back. However, even so the impact still crushed Han Fei. It felt like his internal organs were shaken and his throat coughed with blood.

Abandoning control of the paper doll, Han Fei rolled to the ground. He kept his eyes fixed on the black scale in the middle of the blood pool. When Xu Qin appeared, there were already trundling footsteps coming from outside the factory. The butchers who were chasing after her were coming here as well. Han Fei knew he did not have much time left. Through hell and high water, he needed to accomplish his goal. Silencing the pain running through his body, Han Fei climbed up from the ground. His eyes locked onto Weep on the iron hook. After taking a few steps back, he charged towards the blood pool like mad. He splashed through the blood pool, rushing towards the pole at the centre!

All the human spirits were awakened by his crazy action. Even Weep who was forced to face his darkest memory saw Han Fei as well. Those who fell into the blood pool had to suffer the torment of having their skin literally melted off, didn’t Han Fei know about that?

Han Fei was the kind of person who would power on ahead even though he knew about the dire risks.

Bang! His body careened into the pole. The wound on Han Fei’s shoulder was torn open, blood leaked out and dyed his back red. Grasping the pole which was slick with blood, Han Fei used his fastest speed to crawl towards Weep. None of the pig-faced monsters appeared to possess the ability of entering the blood pool. Their tainted bodies would instantly be dissolved by the pool water.

Seeing Han Fei continue his hike up the scale, the factory manager slammed his large and fatty palms against the ground. Its ugly face was raw from anger. It picked up the vessels that Han Fei slashed and stuck them right into his heart. The vessels joined with its heart. The pig-faced monster used this barbaric method to temporarily regain control of the black hooks above the scale of humanity.

With the wounds on his body, it was already impossibly difficult for Han Fei to climb up the pole. Avoiding the iron hooks drained him even further. Even though he had calculated every step, accidents still happened. Han Fei left no retreat for himself. He knew that if he continued to climb, it was only a matter of time until he was hit by one of the hooks but he still continued his ways towards the human souls and Weep. More and more pig-faced monsters thronged into the factory and Xu Qin was placed under greater and greater pressure.

The pig-faced monster beside the blood pool cackled wickedly as it controlled the hooks to come at Han Fei’s body. When the hook swung by for the 4th time, Han Fei could feel the energy draining from his arms. The hook slowly increased in size as it flew at him. His mind told his body to move out of the way but his limbs were already at their limits. Just as the hook was about to puncture Han Fei’s chest, something unexpected happened.

The soul of the elder brother who was just hooked, swung on his weight and used his own body to block the attack on Han Fei’s behalf. The man looked even more pitiable with another hook sticking out of his stomach but with gritting teeth, his eyes glowed brightly at Han Fei. He wished that Han Fei could finish the thing that he started. He prayed that Han Fei could save those people.

“Thank you.” Grabbing the hook as support, Han Fei continued his ascend. Different from the twin’s elder brother, he made his climb while holding the bone-paring knife!

The blade sharpened by hatred sliced through the blood threads holding the pig masks. As more masks shattered and fell, the scale started to tip towards the human souls. Han Fei was getting closer to Weep who was strung at the highest point.
