The chain stuck with animal fur dropped into the hole, strangely enough, when the chain touched the flowers, the red flowers started to wilt and the petals supposedly wailed in pain. The flowers grew on bodies, absorbed the nutrients of the soul and blossomed representing the beauty of humanity. The beauty of humanity was also incredibly fragile. Once it was contaminated with animality, the flowers stopped being pure and they began to wilt.

Han Fei had made the last preparations. He picked a location where Eight-Crown had used to scale up the wall. Han Fei would hang himself from the side of the hole, basically standing right in the middle of the monsters retreat path. If Eight-Crown wanted to escape back into the hole, there was a high chance it would have to retrace its step through here. Seeing Han Fei strap the blade into his back, Bai Sinian decided he still needed to warn this man. In a way, he was a kind person. I worry that you might not be able to stop it alone. Youre too weak compared to that giant.

Dont worry, I have a helper with me. Han Fei would not voluntarily put himself in danger. He held up a little girls hand. The girl looked like she was at most 6 years old. She kept her head lowered and felt incredibly shy. The stronger the spirit, the larger theyd be, Bai Sinian still knew that. Shes your helper? Why dont I come with you instead? Bai Sinian didnt question Han Fei or the girl, he instead used actual action to prove that he was worried about Han Fei.

Then, you better be careful. Dont push yourself. Han Fei said gently. For some reason, Bai Sinian felt like Han Fei had taken the words out of his mouth. Seeing Han Fei slowly and carefully rappel himself down into the hole, the whole thing felt surreal to Bai Sinian. A living person armed with a bladeless knife was leading a little girl to stop the retreat of a Large Lingering Spirit? Had these people lost their mind?!

From size alone, Eight-Crown could have easily swiped Han Fei away. The negative energy poison from the snake tail would immediately shatter Han Feis soul and mind. Bai Sinian had no confidence Han Fei could stand a blow from Eight-Crown, much less kill the thing.

In the basement, the battle between Eight-Crown and the neighbours had reached the climax. After another head with the character, Body, exploded, its body expanded twice its size and its wounds started to heal. If any of the neighbours had to face this monster alone, it would be impossible. The monsters 8 special powers covered all the bases, offensive, defensive, crowd control, regenerative, supportive. It was very well-rounded but that itself was its weakness. Compared to other Large Lingering Spirit, Eight-Crowns powers were too average, it had no specific ability that could bring it specific leverage in battle. For example, the brothers Lee Zai and Lee Huo trained their bodies through disaster and they specialized in close quarter combat; Weep was a master manipulator of despair from a distance. If he was given enough time, he could weave cages out of despair and turn the enemies despair into knives. If they encountered Eight-Crown alone, they had no choice but to run but when they cooperated, they were more than capable of holding back Eight-Crown.

However, Eight-Crown was ultimately a Large Lingering Spirit, if there were just Weep and Lee Huo, Eight-Crown could still take them down easily. But Eight-Crown was unlucky because the whole Happiness Neighbourhood was on the move thanks to the Singers interruption. The tenants had never been on such a large excursion before. Eight-Crown basically had to take on the monsters and ghosts from 2 Grade F locales on its own. As the blood leaked out from its body, the pattern on its tail started to fade. To prevent others from entering the sea of flowers, it had already exploded a few of its heads but its effort was futile. There were too many enemies!

Without realizing it, the cage of despair closed. Weep stared at Eight-Crowns heart and pulled! Eight-Crowns remaining heads screamed. Weep pulled on the knife that formed from Eight-Crowns internal despair, the damage came from within it. Using the enemys despair as a weapon, Weeps power was very terrifying. The despair and black hair slowly constricted its space. Eight-Crown finally thought about retreating. But just as it was about to turn around, a 2 metres tall woman wearing a red necklace appeared behind it. Two stick-like arms reached out from the red dress. Jin Shengs class teacher hugged Eight-Crowns body tightly. The pale face suddenly turned unhinged. The female teachers body started to corrode along the spot where she had touched. Her twisted love morphed into penetrating hatred!

The scariest thing was the female teacher was slowly melting into Eight-Crowns body!

What kind of power is this? Not only Bai Sinian, Han Fei was frightened by what he saw. Jin Shengs class teacher was Ma Manjiangs wife, she was fooled and then killed by Ma Manjiang. Her resentment was deep and Han Fei had never seen her fight before. Are all of my colleagues that powerful?

Even Eight-Crown had not encountered this strange power before, the woman appeared to have the intention of melting herself into its body, to become one with it. It couldnt tell whether this was a curse or something else, it was already too weak. The childrens heads started to cry. After yet another head exploded, Eight-Crown abandoned the lower body which was infiltrated by the female teacher while its upper body flew back towards the deep hole. After it was detached from control of the childrens heads, the snake body dissolved into smaller Lingering Spirits. The body of Eight-Crown was made up from the souls of numerous childrens souls. It was a monster that specifically fed on children, but it was in a less than positive state at the moment.

It once again felt the danger of society. Cryptic world was dangerous but the cruelty was on the surface. But ever since Han Fei arrived, the word danger had to be given a new definition.

The few spirits stared at the slithering Eight-Crown, they didnt chase after it. Since Eight-Crown had placed all of its focus on the enemies behind it, it didnt notice a little girl who had appeared beside the rim of the hole. She stood in the middle of Eight-Crowns path and slowly raised her head.

The dark eye appeared to contain another world. When she opened her eyes, the pupils on the walls opened as well. Eight-Crowns consciousness was pulled away from its body and it could feel its control over its body weakening!

Then it heard footsteps. When Eight-Crown turned its head around, its world turned upside down. The blade sang and humanitys light shone in the dark. Han Fei severed Eight-Crowns head swiftly and efficiently. It was as if everything had been rehearsed multiple times. Eight-Crown widened its eyes and looked at the figure who stood before it and then it heard the last word of its life. Pet training!
