"No wonder Shi Zhi and the others have been trying for ten years without success. If they explore with the idea of becoming the master of a shrine, they may never be able to truly control the shrine."
This memory world was left by the owner of the shrine, everything is stained with his traces, and everything that happens in this world is his regret.
The appearance of the shrine changed the life of the owner of the shrine and made him an indescribable existence. However, it was precisely because of the existence of the shrine that all tragedies occurred.
If he wants to gain his recognition, he has to constantly make up for his regrets, and becoming the owner of a shrine is also one of his regrets.
"I seem to know what to do." Han Fei tightened his grip on the handle of the knife in his hand.
"You...it's better not to be impulsive." The man felt that what he said before was in vain. He found that Han Fei was also a very independent person. He even saw a trace of the devil in Han Fei: "Killing can't solve the problem."
If you have any questions, you can try to go to my brother's room and take a look. There are two monsters imprisoned in his room, one with a mouth is called truth, and the other with eyes is called conscience."
As if he was afraid that Han Fei would become crazier than his brother, the man took the initiative to reveal his brother's weaknesses.
After he told his brother's secret, ten times more black hair came out of his mouth than before, as if he had violated some kind of taboo.
"Those two monsters are afraid of fire! Find them! Figure out why my brother became like this. You must avoid following his old path, otherwise you will also be bound by the shrine and lose all the important things in your life!"
The black hair tore the man's mouth apart, submerging him at the bottom.
Han Fei tried to save the man, but he was almost trapped in the black hair. It took a lot of effort for him to escape from the bedroom.
Looking at the photos all over the room, Han Fei picked up the photo frame that had fallen on the ground.
"Boss Gu's brother also mentioned the monster called Truth. This is the same tip that the female tenant in Room 13 gave me. It seems that it is really necessary to go there."
Han Fei learned very crucial information from the man's mouth. He wanted to find out how the mall owner turned into a madman step by step, and then avoid the same thing happening when he inherited the shrine.
A "bad guy" who is born with brain abnormalities and has various violent tendencies can, with the help of acquired education and the overall environment, become a "good guy" that conforms to public moral standards.
A good person who is born simple and always holds himself to high moral standards may, under certain circumstances, slowly fall into the abyss.
In Han Fei's time, there was a branch of psychology dedicated to studying them, called abnormal psychology.
Han Fei happened to know something about this subject, and he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have been studied.
Han Fei has seen a lot of bad guys, and he has also seen crazy devils like butterflies. These guys who have lost their conscience usually have a certain trigger for their psychological and physiological diseases. This trigger is where all the clues are tied together, and the solution is
Only by opening it can you see the truth of everything.
After leaving the man's house, Han Fei went straight to No. 1 Shaheyuan.
While walking on the streets of a residential area, Han Fei suddenly discovered something.
Districts 1 to 9 of Shaheyuan are distributed in a ring, and the overall layout looks like a well.
"In the middle of the nine areas is an artificial lake, and the lake water is drawn from the Shahe River."
Han Fei deliberately took a long detour and walked toward the small lake, but before he reached it, he had a very bad feeling, as if the lake symbolized misfortune and death.
Han Fei had had the same feeling before. When he was passing by the Shahe River on the night he sent Wang Ping'an home, he felt scared when he saw the water in the Shahe River, as if the slowly flowing river water would swallow everything and wash away all memories.
"There are surveillance cameras all around the lake. What are those surveillance cameras monitoring? Are you afraid of people fishing by the lake? Or are you afraid of people entering the lake to steal things?"
Walking along the perimeter of the artificial lake to Area 1, there were two teams of security guards patrolling here. Han Fei was stopped just as he approached.
No one can approach the shopping mall owner's house casually. If you want to visit, you need to make an appointment and register in advance.
Han Fei couldn't enter with his own strength, and forcing his way in would only expose him in advance. After careful consideration, Han Fei decided to leave first.
He planned to wait until he got the photos in the well and released all the old man's family before taking action with them.
"The world has begun to alienate. At this time, we must gather as much strength as possible around us."
After leaving Shaheyuan, Han Fei went out and found Wang Ping'an. This child was wearing Han Fei's coat and watching wild cats fighting on the roadside.
"Brother, did you bring the rice in?"
"Sent it in. You are right. They are all kind-hearted people." Han Fei and Wang Ping'an changed their clothes. He put the package into the takeout box and stuffed the portable items directly into his pocket.
After finishing everything, he rode his electric bike and rushed towards the department store as soon as possible.
It was a fast ride. When Han Fei was about to arrive at the mall, he returned the car to Wang Ping'an and asked him to go home and rest while he ran to Exit C of the mall.
Department stores are also a bit deserted during the day. There are basically not many customers. Many shops have been closed or have signs saying "Want Shop Sublet".
"The boss's business is indeed becoming more and more difficult. No wonder he is anxious."
Borrowed good luck will eventually be spent. Things that don't belong to him will be hard to keep no matter how much he pays.
Entering the mall, Han Fei's expression, temperament, and demeanor all changed. The injury on his leg seemed to be several times more serious, and he was limping when he walked.
The customers who were shopping all ducked away when they saw Han Fei, probably because they were afraid that Han Fei would suddenly fall down and get into trouble with them.
"Why did you just come here!" Zhu Wei was furious when he saw Han Fei: "Take your time, do you know there was a thief in the store last night!"
Han Fei had a very thorough understanding of people like Zhu Wei, who had little authority and liked to yell at people at lower levels. When he was angry, he would take it out on others.
"When I visited the store last night, everything was fine." Han Fei didn't care about Zhu Wei at all. He didn't even bother to look up at Zhu Wei's face, and just walked forward on his own.
"What's your attitude?" Zhu Wei grabbed Han Fei's arm: "The leader asked you to come over immediately. Can you see what time it is?"
"If you don't let go, will I just lie down and call the police?" Han Fei pointed to his injured leg: "You are the manager of the mall, not the owner of the mall. Be careful when you talk to me in the future."
"Do you need to be careful when I'm talking to you?" Zhu Wei was so angry that the fat on his cheeks began to tremble, but he really couldn't do anything about Han Fei. The thrift store was opened by the mall owner, and logically speaking, it was not under his control.
"Zhu Wei, in this thrift store where I work, many clerks have been missing and injured. How long do you think I will be able to work here?" Han Fei reached out and patted Zhu Wei's face: "I'm not afraid of anything now.
So you'd better pay attention."
After not seeing each other for a night, Han Fei gave people a different feeling. In fact, he showed this deliberately.
He luckily survived the shrine owner's hallucination last night, and he knew that yesterday was a major turning point for the shrine owner.
After experiencing his father's betrayal and the torture of gangsters, the owner of the shrine, who narrowly escaped death, has begun to actively embrace the darkness.
Dragging his tired body, Han Fei walked past Zhu Wei and opened the door of the thrift store.
Ding dong, ding dong...
Han Fei entered the store. At this time, there were several burly men standing in the store. They seemed to be the bodyguards of the mall owner.
"How many bad things has he done? How come he always brings a group of people with him wherever he goes?"
As soon as Han Fei arrived at the store, he was stared at by several people. The bodyguards stared at him as if he was some kind of dangerous person.
"Are you just standing here?" Han Fei glanced at the clutter on the ground and the pushed down shelves: "The store is in such a mess, why don't you help clean it up?"
Han Fei wanted to say something else, but suddenly there was a coughing sound from deep in the store.
Following the sound, I saw that the man named Gu was standing next to the shrine.
The black cloth fell to the ground, the shrine was severely damaged, all the patterns on the inner wall were erased, and one of the shrine doors was smashed off.
Boss Gu turned his back to Han Fei and seemed to be completely focused on the shrine.
Han Fei even had an impulse in his heart and wanted to take out the death knife and give the mall owner a happy ending.
"Boss, was there serious damage to the store last night?"
Hearing Han Fei's voice, the man turned around slowly. He stared into Han Fei's eyes, and after a long time he said, "Have you ever seen God?"
Boss Gu's question was completely different from what Han Fei expected, and he shook his head slightly.
"I haven't seen it either, but I heard that as long as enough sacrifices are placed on the altar, the gods will appear. In the past, people liked to use cows, pigs, and sheep to sacrifice to the gods. I have tried several times, but unfortunately they all failed.
Later I discovered that the main thing about offering sacrifices to gods is sincerity. As long as we are sincere, no matter what animal we put on the altar, the gods will hear our voice." Boss Gu touched the damaged shrine and seemed to be mumbling to himself.
Han Fei didn't notice the problem in his boss's words at first, until he recalled something. Several people he came into contact with in the memory world seemed to have animals in their names.
It felt like the mall owner was deliberately hinting to him that those people were all sacrifices, and if they were put on the altar, the gods would appear.
"I have always treated my employees as family members, but I didn't expect that the most harmless and docile lamb would actually lead a wolf into the house." The mall owner showed no emotion or anger, and his tone of voice was very calm, but he exuded an aura of calmness.
A particularly cold atmosphere.
Han Fei can testify that the boss does treat his employees as family members, and even the employees' final fate is the same as his family members.
"I can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out." Boss Gu walked towards Han Fei step by step: "Why do you think he stole things from the store?"
Han Fei always felt that Boss Gu meant something else when he said this: "Boss, what did Pei Yang steal? I think the more valuable goods are still there."
"It doesn't matter what he stole. What matters is that when he came up with this idea, he already went astray." Boss Gu's cell phone suddenly rang, and he answered the call in front of Han Fei.
"Boss, the upper reaches of Shahe River have been searched. They should have fled to the urban areas near the middle and lower reaches." A voice reporting the progress of the pursuit came from the mobile phone. Boss Gu seemed to have deliberately let Han Fei listen.
"I don't care what method you use, find him before dark." Boss Gu gave the death order, and the man on the other side of the phone agreed repeatedly.
The two sang in harmony, but Han Fei's heart remained unmoved.
It is impossible for Shizhi to let Pei Yang go so easily, unless Pei Yang has turned into a corpse.
After hanging up the phone, Boss Gu stared at Han Fei for a long time. He took out an envelope from his pocket with five thousand yuan in it.
"Before there are new people applying for the job, you can stay here to look after the store. You can take care of food and accommodation in the store. I'll give you double the salary."
"Okay." Han Fei took the envelope and said, "Thank you, boss."
"You can choose to stay here, so I should be the one thanking you." Both Boss Gu and Han Fei had an imperceptible smile on their faces.
"I will find a suitable new person as soon as possible, and I will leave the store to you." After Boss Gu finished speaking, he was about to leave. When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped: "By the way, from today on, try not to be in the store."
Enter the underground warehouse at night."
"OK."
Watching the boss and the group of bodyguards retreat, Han Fei placed the envelope full of money under the counter: "This guy can't spend his money casually."
Standing in the messy secondhand store, Han Fei began to clean silently.
There are no customers in the store during the day, and those who occasionally approach the store are passers-by watching the excitement. They point at the thrift store and discuss in low voices the strange things that have happened in the store. Some people think that the store itself is cursed.
Everyone who worked in this store will have a bad ending.
After being told this by them, no one was willing to enter the store, and other department store employees had no intention of coming to help Han Fei.
Cleaning the ground alone, Han Fei seemed to be abandoned by the whole world.
He was busy until evening. When Han Fei was carrying the heavy shelves and preparing to straighten them, the store door was suddenly pushed open.
"What a coincidence! So you work here?"
A familiar voice rang in my ears, and a pair of hands held the other side of the shelf.
Han Fei looked up and saw Lin Lu wearing a pure white down jacket entering the store. She was looking at Han Fei in surprise.
"Lin Lu?"
Han Fei stared at the woman. She was lively and beautiful, and her fair skin was like the sunshine at noon. It seemed that as long as he saw her, the haze would dissipate a lot.
"I didn't expect to meet you while walking around the mall. We are really destined. By the way, why were you held hostage by those two gangsters last time? Do you owe them money?" Lin Lu kept talking, but Han Fei didn't.
I feel irritable, and it seems that listening to her is a rare kind of relaxation.
"they are my friends."
"Are you friends with those two gangsters? You really can't tell what someone looks like?" Lin Lu helped Han Fei tidy up the shop and kept chatting with Han Fei, but Han Fei was a little distracted.
From time to time, he would stare at the store door. When Lin Lu entered the store just now, the ding-dong sound that reminded customers to enter the store did not sound.
