The death curse engulfed the young couple. The man hugged his wife with the shadow of the entire room. He did not approach Laisheng again, but only glanced at the sleeping child from a distance.
One-eye remained rational but felt reluctant, but he had no other choice.
Wearing blood clothes, he slowly bowed to Han Fei. When he saw Han Fei hugging Laisheng on the sofa, a trace of gratitude flowed from his eyes.
The two men had no further communication. One picked up his wife and dragged all the shadows in the room towards the mirror. The other picked up Laisheng and walked towards the darkness outside the room.
The separation was quicker than expected.
The door closed, and the moment the door panels closed together, Han Fei could feel the body of the child in his arms trembling.
He looked down and saw that the child's face was full of tears. He didn't know whether it was because he dreamed of separation or because he was not completely asleep.
"I will take you back to reality, and I will also save your parents and give you a chance to reunite. Of course, the premise of all this is that I can become the new manager of the Dead Building."
Tears fell down Laisheng's face, and his hands were held tightly, like a kitten huddled in a corner on a rainy day.
The door to room 4064 has been closed. Han Fei did not stay here for too long. He had to find his lost soul before four forty-four.
"I remember that all three souls ran upstairs. Next, I will check from the seventh floor."
There are many rooms in the death building. Going from door to door on the night of soul recovery is actually no different from committing suicide.
"How about we go to room 4144 first? Before the butterfly comes back, I will quickly ask Zhuang Ren to meet his family. After his family is willing to help me, I will use the soul-returning talent to send Zhuang Ren back."
Soul summoning is Han Fei's trump card, and soul recovery is his biggest secret. This ability also gives him the confidence to dare to recruit Zhuang Ren into the deep world.
Han Fei's idea was a good one. It killed two birds with one stone. It not only fulfilled Zhuang Ren's wish for many years, but also gave him a few more helpers. But if he really wanted to do this, Han Fei was a little hesitant. With the butterfly's insidiousness, it would definitely be there.
There were manipulations in room 4144, and Zhuang Ren's family may have been turned into monsters.
After seeing the tragic situation of Laisheng's mother, Han Fei suspected that when Zhuang Ren saw his family with his own eyes, that was when his family truly turned into monsters and their souls were scattered.
All the death curses in the death building have a triggering condition. Han Fei is not going to act rashly until he knows the death curse on Zhuang Ren's family.
Pushing open the safety door, Han Fei left the sixth floor. When he stepped onto the steps of the seventh floor, the sleepy boy's eyelids slowly blinked, as if he was about to wake up.
Seeing Laisheng like this, Han Fei also understood the silent love of Laisheng's father.
With the ability of Laisheng's father, 4064, the landlord, he had several ways to make Laisheng completely sleepy, but he did not do that. He believed in his child, so he let Laisheng hear, while half asleep and half awake,
In other words, I feel the difference.
He doesn't want his children to avoid it and be immersed in sadness forever. He hopes that his children can face pain, or at least learn to face it.
"Actually, I quite envy you. Your mother is so gentle and has planned everything for you. Although your father doesn't like to talk, he silently protects you in another way." Laisheng's father did not follow.
But Han Fei had an inexplicable feeling that as long as Laisheng encountered danger in the Death Building, his father would definitely arrive as soon as possible. Maybe the other party would be standing silently in the shadows, watching them.
"My childhood was quite happy, probably..."
Entering the seventh floor, Han Fei glanced at the paper money and ashes on the ground. If souls were recruited into a certain room, their footprints would definitely be left in the ashes on the ground.
The sorrow and music in the building are like ghosts chasing after the soul. As long as Han Fei stays in the corridor for too long, they will move towards Han Fei.
In order to prevent being chased by the paper man again, Han Fei moved very quickly.
He planned to take a cursory look first. If there were no footprints at the door of any room, he would then think of another way.
Seventh floor, eighth floor...
When Han Fei ran to the ninth floor, he suddenly discovered that this floor was different from other floors.
After hurriedly escaping for his life before, this was the first time he entered the corridor to observe carefully.
Although blood-red couplets are still posted on every house, and there are braziers and paper money placed at the door, the corridors are very clean, the ashes of the paper money are in the braziers, and there is not even a speck of dust on the ground, as if someone cleans the corridors every day.
"There should be no cleaners in the dead building, right? There are just a group of ghosts who specialize in hiding corpses."
In addition to these things, Han Fei also saw some hand-painted paintings on the wall, including green trees, sunshine, children playing, adults with smiles on their faces, and of course fire and theft prevention slogans.
In the eerie dead building, the paintings on the walls seemed a bit out of place. Even if Han Fei looked at them from the perspective of a living person, he felt that it would look better if they were all replaced by blood red.
"Dare you paint on the wall of the dead building? Are you impatient with life?" Han Fei heard the sound of mourning again, this time coming from downstairs. He did not hesitate and immediately quickened his pace.
Originally, Han Fei had given up all hope, but when he passed by Room 4094, he suddenly discovered that there was no brazier at the door of this room. It was very ordinary, just like a normal resident in the community.
In an absolutely abnormal place, the only owner who behaves normally appears to be extremely conspicuous.
Everyone is summoning spirits, why is it that this family is doing nothing?
The mournful music was getting louder, and the funeral procession of paper figures had already gone upstairs. Han Fei didn't hesitate, and knocked on the door of room 4094 with the idea of giving it a try.
"Is anyone home?"
After knocking continuously for the eighth time, the door of room 4094 was opened, and a young man in pajamas appeared at the door: "What can I do for you?"
The young man is similar in height and build to Han Fei. He is quite handsome, but his hair is messy, his eyes are dark, and his pajamas are not buttoned up.
Han Fei stared at the person in front of him, trying to find strange things about him, such as the absence of a shadow, a sharp knife hidden in the hand behind his back, and blood stains on the corners of his clothes. However, he looked at it for a long time and was very surprised.
I found that the other person really seemed to be an ordinary person.
"You look familiar to me. Are you a neighbor in the building? You are holding a child in your arms in the middle of the night. Is the child sick? I understand. You are here to ask me to borrow a car, right? The child is sick and needs to go to the hospital.
?"
Before Han Fei could say anything, the man automatically thought a lot: "Just wait, I'll change my clothes right away!"
The young man in 4094 didn't even close the door. He turned around and ran into the living room, grabbed a coat, put it on and was about to go out.
"The child is not sick. I have something to ask you for." The sorrow was approaching, and Han Fei directly carried Laisheng into the house: "Let's go in and talk."
He always felt that the young man in front of him looked familiar, which gave him a very special feeling, as if their souls were attracting each other.
By the time the young man reacted, Han Fei had already entered the house and closed the door for him.
In the middle of the night, a strange man suddenly broke into the house with a child in his arms. This was a normal person who would be worried and frightened. But I don’t know whether it was because Han Fei looked too kind, or because Laisheng looked too pitiful. The young people in 4094 did not
Instead of driving them away, he kept asking them what happened.
The young man in 4094 asked for help. Now it was Han Fei's turn to feel uncomfortable. He was already prepared for all kinds of scary ghosts in the room, but he didn't expect that there was only such a "weird" person in the room.
Maybe in reality, Han Fei would call each other good people and kind people, but in the death building, Han Fei didn't know how the young people survived.
When things go wrong, there must be a demon, and good intentions may be just a gorgeous coat used to hide the dirty inside.
Han Fei protected Laisheng and carefully watched the young man and the room behind him.
The architectural layout of 4094 is different from that of 4064. The living room is very spacious and has a large TV. Under the screen is a black TV cabinet, which contains some movie CDs and movie books for collection.
There are many posters of comedy movies on the wall facing the TV. Below the posters is a sofa that you can lie on and roll around. There is also a thin quilt and TV remote control thrown on it. The young man seems to have been watching movies until late at night, and then directly
Lying on the sofa and fell asleep.
"You seem to like watching comedy movies?" Han Fei suddenly realized something. Isn't the structure of the living room in front of him exactly what he had dreamed about when he was a child?
A very large TV is used to play the movies he stars in, a soft sofa that can lie down and roll around, and a large living room where he can move around at will.
Han Fei has lived in a narrow apartment building for a long time, and he has almost forgotten the beautiful imagination he had before.
"I don't like watching movies." Contrary to Han Fei's expectation, the young man shook his head.
"Then why are there so many comedy movie posters on your wall?" Han Fei had never heard of those movies, but looking at the style of the posters, he knew they were comedies.
The young man from 4094 tidied his messy hair with some embarrassment: "Actually, I am a comedian, and these are the works I have filmed."
The young man is relatively shy, especially when he mentions his profession, he becomes a little self-conscious. It seems that there is a big difference between him in reality and him on the screen.
"Sit anywhere, let's sit down and chat." The young man rarely entertains guests. He quickly threw the thin quilt and some clothes aside. When the quilt was lifted, several medicine bottles placed next to the quilt rolled to the ground.
Among them are insomnia pills, mood stabilizing pills, and antidepressant pills.
While hurriedly picking up the fallen medicine bottles, the young man said he was sorry, then picked up all the medicines and put them into the bedroom.
"What's going on with your child? Is it serious?" The young man changed the subject abruptly. At this time, there was another noise in the bedroom, and he seemed to have knocked over something.
When the young man was cleaning up his bedroom, Han Fei saw the young man's mobile phone on the sofa. The screen was on and the screen was not locked. It seemed that the young man was playing with his mobile phone just now.
With a hint of curiosity, Han Fei looked at the phone screen. In the search bar was a half-written question - how to leave this place without pain...
Before I finished writing the question, an emergency contact number for psychological intervention and treatment appeared below the search bar, and there was a line behind the phone number - Dear, you are not alone, nor are you alone, because we are all here.
