Eight arms flowing with hatred had blocked the hallway, and compared to the huge blood-colored ghostly apparition, all the residents seemed minuscule.
The grudges rising from the deepest parts of their hearts were almost taking physical form, forcing many little ghosts and insects hiding in Building Two to start fleeing.
There was a bark from the top floor, and blood flowed, a Dark Dog living in the shadows appeared on the third floor. Its pure black fur stood on end it seemed to sense a massive threat from the blood-colored ghostly apparition too.
Han Fei hadn’t expected that the eight victims merged in the Human-body Puzzle case would be so terrifying. Their despair and pain influenced each other, kept gathering, and ultimately all fell upon Little Eight.
At this moment, Little Eight’s strength had already surpassed any ghost Han Fei had previously encountered, but maintaining this state seemed to be causing severe damage to Little Eight every second.
Han Fei could feel the other party’s pain, he didn’t dare to delay any longer, and he walked directly between the blood-colored ghostly apparition and the residents of Building Two.
"They are eight people merged together, including me, now there are nine in agreement," Han Fei looked towards the residents of Building Two, "I know you can’t trust me right now, but I hope we can have a good start—time will prove everything."
"Our Building Two has been without a Building Chief for so long, and many residents have been slaughtered by Outsiders, forcing the remaining inhabitants to band together. Last night, you and that woman were a big help to us, we appreciate that a lot," the thin tall ghostly figure looked up at the blood-colored Evil Ghost formed by the eight victims and slowly raised his hand, his voice still dry and hoarse, "I think banding together can’t be a bad thing for anyone."
The thin tall ghostly figure was the first to raise a hand, followed by a girl whose both wrists were chopped off also raised her arm.
"My goal is to truly protect every resident, we can establish a Homeowners’ Committee, bring all the Owners in, fair and just," Han Fei finished speaking and then pointed at the blood-colored ghostly apparition behind him, "You also saw that lady last night; there are three more residents at her level in Building One. Plus the family standing behind me, how long do you think you could hold out if Building One decided to resort to violence?"
Han Fei didn’t give them time to think, continuing, "After the disappearance of the Building One Chief, he left some truly terrifying words—if we don’t unite, everyone’s outcome will be very grim."
First, a threat of violence, then invoking the old Building Chief’s authority, finally, Han Fei looked at the woman scarred all over, "By the way, I met your child a while ago. He’s changed his surname to yours; his name is now called Qu Wenhou."
Hearing Han Fei’s voice, the woman who had been calm suddenly emerged from her black hair, she scampered to Han Fei’s head like a giant spider.
Blood-stained black hair fell in front of Han Fei, yet he didn’t feel frightened at all, he calmly looked at her face, "Your child wanted me to bring you a message; he said if he could ever see you again, he would apologize and then tell you, no matter what, he will protect you from now on, making sure no one ever bullies you."
Qu Wenhou had said similar words when he was very young. The woman riddled with scars had tears of blood seeping from the corners of her eyes.
She stared intensely at Han Fei, as if trying to determine whether Han Fei was lying.
"Everything I’ve said is true, I’ve never intended to deceive or harm any of you," Han Fei’s expression was very sincere.
After watching Han Fei for a long while, the woman returned to her original spot.
"Don’t be fooled by him, in this world, trust is the scarcest thing," the man with a sharp knife in his chest looked towards the Dark Dog standing in the shadow, as if asking for the dog’s opinion.
"You’re wrong, hope is the scarcest thing in this world, and it is precisely this rarest form of hope that I want to bring to you."
Han Fei scanned all the residents of Building Two, with no Building Chief to protect them, there were very few residents left in Building Two, most had been killed by Outsiders, the remaining were forced to unite.
"You won’t face any losses, trust me, even just this once."
Han Fei and the residents of Building Two confronted one another, and after a long time, the Dark Dog hiding in the shadows barked a few times, then vanished.
"Even the Dark Dog didn’t sense any evil intent on you?" the man with a dagger in his chest turned to Han Fei, displaying a look of disbelief, "Such a person, if not the most cunning and sly Evil Ghost, could they actually be a genuinely good person?"
He did not believe Han Fei was a good person, but he also felt Han Fei was not that bad. After a long contemplation, he hesitantly raised his hand, "Alright, I agree too."
At the same time, a system voice emerged in Han Fei’s mind.
"Player number 0000, please note! You have successfully triggered level F hidden mission—Happiness of Happiness Residental Community!"
"The Happiness of Happiness Residental Community (F Level Hidden Mission): No time limit, raise the friendliness level of all residents within Happiness Residental Community to friendly!"
"Attention! This mission is the ultimate hidden task of Happiness Residental Community, and completing it will have a significant impact on your life!"
Opening the mission panel, Han Fei saw the names of all the residents listed under this newly appeared F-level hidden mission, each followed by a friendliness level.
Now the highest friendliness level belonged to Wei Youfu, followed by Xu Qin.
"When did Youfu’s friendliness become so high? Could it be because he regained his sanity? Knowing clearly everything I’ve done for everyone?"
Once the parties agreed to join forces, Han Fei quickly worked on restoring the victims of Human-body Puzzle to their original state.
Yet, just within a few short minutes, Wei Youfu was impacted, his hard-earned sanity once again teetering on the brink of collapse.
"Now only Wei Youfu has regained his sanity. Once all eight victims have restored their sanity, they should be able to hold on for a longer time."
Han Fei stood protectively in front of Wei Youfu, and after negotiating with the sane residents of Building Two, everyone unanimously agreed to establish the Happiness Residental Community Homeowners’ Committee.
As the representative who could communicate on behalf of Buildings One and Two, Han Fei became the temporary chair of the Homeowners’ Committee.
"Thank you all for your trust. I will lead us in making Happiness Residental Community a safe, comfortable, and warm home."
"While protecting the interests of the current owners, I will attract more Fierce Ghosts and Monsters to settle here. If they are willing to abide by our rules, we would also be happy to make friends with them. If they refuse to obey the rules, then we will remove the useful parts from them to enhance the strength of our current owners!"
"We must think of our peril in our security! We must enhance ourselves as soon as possible, eliminate those outdated ideas, and actively prepare for the dangers that are coming."
"I believe that as long as we all unite, sincerely cooperate, all residents of our community will eventually achieve true happiness!"
