695 Butcher's Knife

On the building made from dead bodies, Han Fei and his companions reached toward the mirror surface before the souls went berserk. Han Fei was not alone. He had found many kindred spirits. They supported each other, holding the torch as they moved with determination towards the dark.

The light of the blade flashed in the eyes of the dead, illuminating their nightmare. All the mutated souls became incredibly angry. Those who had gotten used to darkness believed that the light was the real sin. However, they didnt dare to do anything because the light had gotten too bright.

Fu Sheng! Han Fei was a rational person, but sometimes, he was more nave than most people in the world. At that moment, he would rather take the risk of dying to rescue the real Fu Sheng.

The light pierced through the mirror. The mirror made from smiling faces didnt stop it. The blade easily entered the mirror. It brought hope to Fu Sheng inside the mirror. From Fu Shengs perspective, originally, everything was dark. There was no sound and light but things changed. The familiar voice came from the phone that he would never part with, and a ray of light cut through the permanent darkness.

Fu Sheng reached toward the light. Warmth, kindness, and stability, he didnt know how to describe the feeling he felt when he touched the light.

All the souls went on a rampage when the mirror was attacked. All the patients and doctors became monsters. They struggled loose from the shackles of death and charged at Han Fei with fury and resentment.

The rotten arms grabbed onto Han Fei. The sound of bones breaking and zombie monsters growling entered the young mans ears through the phone. He couldnt tell what was happening outside the mirror. He could only see that the light was still there. No matter how scary things got, the light remained.

Are you alright?

Im fine. Ill find a way to get you out.

Actually, Im fine here alone.

Im like you. Ive walked through the darkness. If theres someone in the world who can understand you, its me. Therefore, you can trust and rely on me.

The curse exuded from his body. The rotten zombie bit Han Fei, leaving behind a festering wound on Han Feis shoulder. However, the zombie was infected by Soul Poison. He fell from the top and couldnt move again. The young man inside the mirror could hear what was happening outside. He hesitated and then turned to look at the darkness behind him. Instead of being trapped in the dark forever, becoming part of this light might be a better choice.

Han Fei outside the mirror was still considering how to break the mirror, but the young man inside the mirror walked voluntarily towards it. He allowed the light to pierce through his chest! His hands pressed against the mirror. The young man looked at the darkness before him. He knew that the person he had been waiting for was right before him, standing in the future that he couldnt see. Han Fei didnt expect the young man to do this. He wanted to turn Fu Sheng into a ghost tattoo, but his vengeance was toward Fu Shengs memory fragment, who had killed him 99 times, not this child.

I never got the chance to say thank you. Ill not create trouble for you anymore.

The young mans soul dissolved. He held the hands that wanted to save him. He couldnt find a way to leave the darkness, so he chose to stand with the light. Since he couldnt bring light to others, then hed become the ember that kept the light going. Han Fei tapped on the mirror. He wanted to retract the blade, but it was already too late. Fu Shengs heart was punctured by Rest in Peace. He imbued the remaining humanity of his soul into the blade.

My past is endless despair. Your appearance has given birth to these beautiful memories. Now, I will return them to you. I hope youll not reject them. This is the only thing I can do for you.

Salvation went both ways. Fu Sheng couldnt leave the mirror, so he came up with this idea. As Han Fei tried to pull the knife out, the mirror made from beautiful memories started to ripple. Some of the memories were peaceful, and others were exciting. When they were triggered, they would explode in inexplicable power. It was hard to persist on the correct path. Even so, there would be endless ordinary people who would walk that path. Fu Shengs lingering soul entered the blade. The light of Rest in Peace burned brighter. The memories that guarded Fu Sheng flowed into the blade as well. Han Fei held the hilt and slowly pulled. The mirror started to crack. The smiling faces were drawn into the butchers knife alongside Fu Shengs soul.

The mirror shattered. Rest in Peace transformed. Something blurry surfaced on the hilt.

Fu Sheng? Han Fei didnt expect Fu Shengs trapped soul to enter Rest in Peace. The kid started as a kind and gentle person too. In the whole city, he was the only one looking after the lonely ghosts.

Han Fei looked at the blade with complicated emotions. In Fu Shengs other memory world, he had changed Fu Shengs destiny. At that moment, Han Fei had changed his destiny too. If Fu Sheng didnt hear his voice, the mirror wouldnt have shattered; if Han Fei didnt regain a part of his memory, he wouldnt have remembered the number he left for Fu Sheng. 99 deaths carved out a path for Han Fei. He couldnt guarantee that hed reach the end, but at least he was closer to the goal.

Raising Rest in Peace, the doctors and patients that held onto Han Fei let go. They appeared to see their dream at that moment. Many shadows appeared behind Han Fei. He was alone, but he was never lonely.

It was Fu Shengs good memories that were trapped inside the mirror. He was a part of the soul pulled out of Fu Sheng. Since the danger was gone, Yan Yue stopped and moved back with Brain. She was the first to escape and the first to return.

Fu Sheng should have abandoned the goodness in his heart here before entering the theme park. Didnt the blond student say that a teacher once saw Fu Sheng try to sew the ghosts at the hospital into his body? Yan Yues mother was surprised that Han Fei managed to survive. She was cautious of the butchers knife he was holding.

Han Fei had encountered similar occasions before. The earliest was with the Mirror God. In the underground surgical room, he was deprived of his organs and the illusion of goodness. He opened his arms to embrace the darkness. The same thing happened again. Dream collected Fu Shengs abandoned human kindness to make them into his vessel, but he didnt expect Han Feis appearance.

Ive changed Fu Shengs destiny, but he still chose his old path. Is he telling me that the future is predestined? Han Feis eyes landed on the glowing blade. This blade was very special. It didnt absorb the slaughtered souls but allowed those who believed in Han Fei to stay. The stock at the meatpacking factory at Cattle Alley, the senior ghost who had to sustain the hereditary ghost, and now, the kind persona of Fu Sheng.

Rest in peace

The light of the blade slowly faded away, and a robotic voice echoed in Han Feis mind. Notifications for Player 0000! Youve obtained Grade D unique butchers knifeRest in Peace!
