The old lady who was about to enter the store was stunned, but now she was carried out of the department store by Han Fei.
She grabbed the package in her hand, feeling a little overwhelmed.
"Grandma, don't be nervous. You saved my life, so of course I won't hurt you." After Han Fei was sure that the monster in the shrine would not come out for the time being, he put the old lady down.
After her feet landed on the ground, the old lady turned around and walked away. She was trembling and walked quite fast.
"A drop of kindness will be repaid by a spring." Han Fei gently put his hand on the old man's shoulder: "Let me show you something. I risked my life to get it for you."
The old man waved his hands repeatedly without any intention of looking back, until Han Fei took out a black and white photo of the deceased from the bag.
The peripheral vision glanced at the photo of the deceased, and after seeing the man in the photo, his dim old eyes could no longer look away.
The old man's world seemed to have become silent, and she could not hear anything. Her cloudy eyes kept staring at the faces in the photos.
"My son, this is my son..."
"The department store owner killed him, trapped him in the shrine where you worship every day, and made him a manhole cover to seal your resentment." Han Fei didn't want to hide it, so he told the old man the truth: "The so-called making a thousand
You can get your child back by doing a good deed. This is just a lie from Boss Gu. He uses your good deeds to gain virtue for himself."
"This is my son. He has grown so big..." The old man raised his arm and gently touched the face in the photo with his trembling hands: "It was so cold and he wore such thin clothes, so I knitted it for him.
There are a lot of sweaters, are they knitted too small and can’t be worn?”
The old lady was getting older and it was very difficult for her to communicate with others. Now she was extremely emotional and couldn't listen to Han Fei's words at all.
"Grandma, your child will not be able to gain true freedom even after death. If you want to free him, you must destroy the shrine."
"Can my son come back by destroying the shrine?" Holding the bottom of the photo with calloused hands, the old lady looked up at Han Fei.
His mouth was slightly open, but Han Fei couldn't say the words he wanted to say. He didn't want to deceive a kind old man.
After destroying the shrine, can the old man's children really come back tomorrow when no one has ever been there?
Seeing that Han Fei didn't speak, the old man held his son's photo in his hands and walked towards the road: "I want to go home and take my son home with me."
Han Fei held an umbrella and chased after him. He moved the umbrella to the old man very considerately.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but the old man seemed not to hear it and walked forward holding the photo.
The night in the memory world was extremely dangerous. Han Fei did not dare to walk around after leaving the department store, so he had to follow the old man.
In the city shrouded in rain, the sound of heavy rain drowned out everything, and even those alienated monsters rarely appeared again.
The old man's health is not very good and she is getting older. She needs to rest for a while after walking a certain distance.
Just walking and walking like this, when passing an intersection, the old man suddenly raised his head and asked Han Fei: "Did you hear anything?"
"The rain is too heavy." Han Fei's senses were far beyond ordinary people's, but even so, he didn't hear any strange sounds.
"Someone is calling me..." The old man suddenly became a little anxious. She held the photo of her body and kept looking around.
Han Fei also found it strange that everything around him was normal, not even alienated monsters.
"Did you hear wrongly?" Han Fei looked at the old man. His eyes accidentally glanced at the photo of the deceased, and the man in the photo disappeared.
"mom!"
A voice sounded from across the road. The old man and Han Fei looked together. The man in the portrait was standing against the street lamp. He was panting heavily, and then he kept waving to the old man: "It's raining too hard. Come back quickly."
Home! Don’t run around! I’ll go back tomorrow!”
The man's voice echoed in the rain. The old man stood there, looking at the other side of the road, motionless.
"I'm not cold at all! Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon!" The man had a smile on his face. After waving his hands, he turned around and left under the streetlight and walked into the darkness.
Han Fei didn't expect this scene to happen. After the man disappeared, he took another look at the photo.
The man's figure appears again in the posthumous photo, but the expression on his face is no longer gloomy, and there are some more water droplets on the surface of the photo.
"Grandma, your son will come home soon, don't worry about him." Han Fei said softly, but the old man still looked across the road, her eyes seemed to be stuck on the street lamp: "What's wrong with you?"
The old man rubbed his eyes, wiped the rain off his face, and pointed blankly at the street lamp in the rain.
"Is that the moon?"
Han Fei didn't know why the old man suddenly asked such a question. Maybe the old man knew very well that her child was no longer alive, and she was just deceiving herself over and over again. When the people closest to her actually appeared, she even suspected that it was because of her excessive
Missing has hallucinations.
"Grandma, let me stay with you until my elder brother comes back." Han Fei picked up the old man on his back and said, "When the shrine is destroyed, he will definitely come back."
Now everyone's fate has changed, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Han Fei felt that at least in this memory world, he wanted to help the old man make up for the regrets in his heart, as a way of repaying the old man for saving him.
An old man and a young man were walking in the heavy rain, holding an umbrella together.
It's strange to say that the alienation in the whole city is getting more and more serious, but there are no ghosts to trouble the old man.
Han Fei, who was carrying the old lady on his back, also felt a lot more relaxed, and his mood values didn't drop much.
After walking through the main road and turning into an alley, Han Fei's cell phone suddenly vibrated when he was about to reach the old man's house.
He answered the phone, and a man's voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Li Long and Li Hu are all gone! They seem to have been kidnapped by someone. You'd better come to Xicheng District as soon as possible and let's discuss it face to face."
The voice sounded familiar to Han Fei, and he quickly remembered that the person who called him was named Brother Snake, and he was the boss of the gang in Xicheng District.
"Li Long's body was marked by Seven Fingers. I was planning to go find him tomorrow, but it seems I'm still a step too late."
"Do you know Qizhi and the others very well?" Brother Snake was wily and spoke very quickly: "Since Qizhi and Baozhi disappeared, strange things have been happening in Xicheng District. Several businesses disappeared in one night, and many people were alive.
No one was dead, no bodies were seen. I sent my men to look for clues, but none of the brothers from the past came back."
"Don't act rashly, you are no match for Ten Fingers."
"Ten Fingers? They are indeed a well-organized gang of perverted murderers." Brother Snake gritted his teeth with hatred, and there was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in his words.
As an acting master, Han Fei has figured out Brother Snake's current mental state. He asked tentatively: "If only Li Long and Li Hu were missing, you wouldn't call me specifically to invite me to Xicheng District. Is there anyone else around you?
Anyone else missing?"
Hearing Han Fei's words, Brother Snake was silent for a moment before speaking: "Yes, my only daughter has also disappeared. Those murderers have now pointed their butcher knives at me..."
Before Brother Snake finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from the phone, and then it seemed like a teacup was broken.
"Damn it, there are no more than three people who know the address of this darkroom. How did they find it?" Brother Snake's expression became even more nervous. As if he was explaining the funeral arrangements, he took the time to say to Han Fei: "Among the people I know, only
You have a way to deal with those madmen, help me get rid of those madmen, and I will give you whatever you want!"
"No problem, I'm going to Xicheng District now."
"I have arranged for my men to pick you up at the teahouse. I have lived enough, but please be sure to rescue my daughter!" Footsteps approached, and Brother Snake immediately hung up the phone.
"The ten fingers move so fast." When Han Fei heard what the boss said, he had a premonition that something would happen to Brother Snake, because this gangster also has an animal in his name. According to the boss, Brother Snake is also on the table.
One of the sacrifices.
"Li Long, Li Hu, Brother Snake, Pei Yang... are the ten fingers competing with Boss Gu for sacrifices?" Han Fei thought of another person. He tried to call Oriole. After a long time, the call was connected.
"Sister Huang? Are you awake?"
Han Fei was very surprised and spoke, but a moment later Boss Gu's cold and plain voice came from the phone: "Oriole hasn't fully woken up yet, and the doctor and I are discussing how to treat her."
"Thank you boss."
"It's raining loudly over there. Aren't you in the store now?" Boss Gu's tone changed slightly.
"The billboard outside the mall was knocked down by the heavy rain. I'm trying to figure out how to put it up."
"Don't worry about those things. Go back to the store right away. Can you see if anything happened in the store?"
"Don't worry, boss, everything is fine! There is no problem!" Han Fei said confidently.
"I still feel uneasy. Don't leave the store tonight. By the way, you didn't enter the underground warehouse, right?" Boss Gu felt a little uneasy for no reason, so he asked Han Fei one more question.
"No, but..."
"But what?"
"Two strange customers came to the mall tonight. They had tattoos that looked like human heads. They were lingering in front of the store. They didn't seem like good people." Han Fei recalled while reporting to the boss.
"Another head tattoo?!" Boss Gu's mood became obviously irritable: "Don't open tonight, we will close it immediately. Just stay in the store and guard it."
"It seems that those two people haven't left yet. Should I go and drive them out of the mall?"
"You are no match for them, close the store." Boss Gu said with certainty.
"Okay." After hanging up the phone, Han Fei carried the old lady on his back and prepared to go to Xicheng District. He had no intention of going back to the mall.
The old lady patted Han Fei on the shoulder, with a trace of doubt in her eyes.
"Grandma, reporting good news but not bad news is also a workplace skill. I have ruined several industries based on my own experience..."
Walking in the rain, they walked a long way before meeting a taxi.
In order to prevent the driver from pretending to be a ghost, Han Fei placed the wishing jar and the photo of the deceased on the passenger seat, keeping a constant eye on the driver with his eyes.
As a result, the other party drove all the way, his potential was stimulated, and he drove to Xicheng District in just ten minutes.
"Sure enough, it's because I'm with the old man that none of these ghosts have become alienated."
After getting off the car, Han Fei carried the old man on his back into the desolate Xicheng District. He passed through construction sites and finally came to the teahouse.
After opening the door, the lights suddenly turned on, and several men in black clothes walked out of the single room. The leader, Han Fei, was the waiter who had been following Brother Snake last time.
"Don't get excited, Brother Snake called me and asked me to come." Han Fei raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.
"We're not excited, we just feel..." The man really didn't expect that Han Fei would carry an old lady on his back to the gang stronghold at night: "It's okay, Brother Snake has already told us that we will cooperate with you unconditionally."
"How many brothers do we have now?"
"There are only about thirty people who can rush here right now. I will notify each stronghold when daybreak. I can probably gather one or two hundred people." The male waiter took out his mobile phone: "There are also some old members who have washed their hands.
They will also help us. They are scattered around Shahe, just like the missing Li Long and Li Hu. They usually act as spies and will come back at critical moments."
"There are quite a lot of people, so I'm relieved." Han Fei placed the old lady next to the heater and brought a blanket to the old lady.
"We can't contact Brother Snake now. He may have met that group of people." The waiter and the brothers in the teahouse were very anxious. They were loyal to Brother Snake.
"There's no point in being anxious. I can tell you clearly that Brother Snake has been captured by those madmen, and they know the location of the darkroom." Han Fei looked for paper and pens on the table.
"Thai! Then what are we waiting for? Hurry over!"
"Fight them! My life was given by Brother Snake. I have to be moral when I come out to mess around!"
Several big men shouted, but Han Fei just shook his head: "You can't save Brother Snake like this, but you will kill him."
Standing up, Han Fei walked to the waiter: "Brother Snake asked you all to obey my command, it's because he knows that only I can really save him. I know those lunatics very well, and their real goal is not
Brother Snake is Boss Gu of the department store."
"Boss Gu?" Several people in the teahouse looked at Han Fei in confusion: "What does this have to do with Boss Gu?"
"I can help you understand in a simple way. All the misfortunes that happened in Shahe were because of Boss Gu, and those lunatics and perverts were his subordinates. But because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, they had internal strife."
"A black man eats a black man?"
"But you have to remember one thing, whether it's Boss Gu or those lunatics, they will kill Brother Snake at the right time, so we have to be prepared to deal with both of them at the same time." Han Fei walked around the room,
Looking for paper and pen.
"Those lunatics will fight with the mall owner, so we will let them consume each other and secretly find their weaknesses."
"Perverted murderers are easy to deal with because everyone knows they are vicious and crazy; the real difficulty is Boss Gu. As the most famous philanthropist and entrepreneur in Shahe, everyone supports him, respects him, and believes in every word he says.
If he thinks we are murderers, even if we don't kill anyone, we will be misunderstood by ordinary people and fall into complete passivity."
"Then what should we do?" The waiter didn't expect things to be so complicated.
"You ask some of the brothers to keep an eye on their fingers and remember not to get too close; the rest are all going to spread the news that Boss Gu did fake charity, forced his wife to death, took away the property of his friends and murdered his own brother." Han Fei played the role.
The novelist Spider, in order to play that role well, he also learned some skills in writing stories.
"What the public likes to hear and see is here. Just do as I write." Han Fei found paper and pen and wrote down Boss Gu's many evil deeds.
"Is this enough?" The waiter was originally ready to fight, but now he put down the blade and picked up the script.
"Of course it's not enough to say that there is no evidence. We have to get the evidence now." Han Fei's goal is to destroy the shrine. If he wants to destroy the shrine, he must first destroy the biggest profiteer, the boss of the valley.
When he is a well-known philanthropist or entrepreneur, many people will believe what he says, but if he turns into a murderer and monster, then no matter what he does, he will be hated by people.
"Until all the sacrifices are collected, Brother Snake will not be sacrificed alive. He is still safe for now. We will use this time to find the truth."
"Are you sure you can find evidence that Boss Gu did those things? He is a well-known good man." After the waiter read the script written by Han Fei, he felt horrified. There should be no such cruel and perverted guy in the world.
"You don't have to worry, the truth itself has a mouth." Han Fei took off his soaked clothes, and under the stimulation of the water from the Well of Resentment, all the ghost marks on his body emerged.
At that moment, the gangsters present were frightened. They had never seen such a terrifying tattoo!
Would an ordinary shop assistant have such a tattoo?
Putting on the black windbreaker that Brother Snake wore when he was young, Han Fei looked at his arms wrapped with ghost patterns, and a cold smile appeared on his face: "Drive, let's go to Shaheyuan tonight."
When calling Oriole, Han Fei accidentally learned that his boss was in the hospital. He was probably worried that the last "sacrifice" would be snatched away by the fingers, but this just gave Han Fei an opportunity.
"Shaheyuan? That's where the richest people in Shahe live." The waiter was worried at first that Han Fei wouldn't adapt to their style, but now he was worried that Han Fei was too crazy and would do something crazy.
"Don't ask so many questions, you just need to do as I say." Han Fei hid the death knife in his clothes and stood next to the window. Outside was a violent storm and a night that was so oppressive that he couldn't breathe.
"Okay, okay." The male waiter lowered his head. Even Brother Snake didn't have Han Fei's temperament when he was young. He was so ruthless and crazy that people didn't dare to look directly at him: "You guys are still stunned.
What are you doing? Go and prepare the car!"
After all the boys ran out of the room, the waiter felt a little regretful. He stood alone next to Han Fei and found that cold sweat had broken out on his forehead.
"Do you feel warm?"
"No, it's not hot." The waiter wiped his forehead and asked carefully: "I left in a hurry last time and I didn't know how to address you."
"My name is Han Fei."
"What a good name. It's so appropriate." After the waiter praised it, he cautiously asked, "What did you do before? I don't think you look like an ordinary store clerk."
"You have so many questions." Han Fei turned around, and lightning flashed across the window. He stared at the waiter's neck and said a relatively rare occupation.
"The Butcher, the Midnight Butcher."
