The cold robotic voice sounded in his head, but Han Fei did not even bother to listen. All his attention was focused on the TV screen.
The bizarre cartoon hadn't finished yet, and the monster made of human bodies was still standing behind the sofa.
The little girl had been cut into pieces, the room was covered with her blood, and the monster did not let her go after the murder. The little girl seemed to be in even more pain.
A few human faces were tearing each other beneath the cracked skin of the monster. The glimmer of humanity from Wei Youfu and his wife's that had just shone seemed to be dissipating again.
Han Fei did not know what would happen next, but in his heart, he knew very well that he had not been dragged away by the monster just now solely because Wei Youfu and his wife had influenced the monster.
If the two faces representing Wei Youfu and his wife were injured or lost their minds again, he would again have to face the threat of death next time.
"People who died in real life appeared in the game, and I can't figure out their current state of mind, but one thing is for sure - they still retain some of their previous memories. At least Wei Youfu and his wife can understand my words."
Looking at the suffering monster on the TV, Han Fei resisted the urge to turn back but said softly, "The life that should have been peaceful and joyful was ruined by that psychopathic murderer. Do you want your revenge?"
In reality, Han Fei's statement was gibberish that only expressed the monster's thoughts in words. However, in reality, this statement might reduce hostility while also bringing Han Fei and the monster closer together.
The innocent Han Fei was not the one who caused this catastrophe. The victims of the human jigsaw puzzle case, including Wei Youfu and his wife, among others, experienced the miseries of all of the fatalities. This disaster was caused by the person who murdered them.
Although Han Fei had never studied psychology, he had visited a psychiatrist several times because of his severe social phobia. He clearly remembered the phrase posted on the wall of a certain doctor's clinic - 'let go of your world to accept the world of others.'
If you want to comfort someone who has suffered, then don't limit the definition of suffering to what you can understand.
Don't restrict the concept of pain to what you can understand if you wish to console someone who has experienced it. We must be willing to set aside our own prejudices and presumptions to genuinely understand and sympathize with these people. We also need to be open to understanding and embracing their worldviews.
A good therapist will do what a good therapist would do at this point, which is to listen patiently because he has not been through what his patient has suffered.
Han Fei personally does not understand any of this. He just feels that when if he was with a psychologist, the doctor would have made him feel more comfortable by listening to him. So now he positions himself as that doctor.
In the murder house at 3:00 a.m., he chose to be a listener with his back to the monster next to the human body assembled into a ghost.
He now couldn't see the monster's ugly and horrible appearance but could only hear the painful voice.
"You should have remained in despair for a long time ..."
In his head, Han Fei recalled the way the doctor would speak, providing the most intimate treatment based on the other person's mental activity.
Slowly, the cartoon on the TV screen changed.
The two monstrous faces representing Wei Youfu and his wife's faces stopped their monstrosity. Their crazed and terrifying expressions acquired a human quality as if Han Fei's words had affected them.
When the other faces saw Wei Youfu and his wife in this state, they started to scream even harder, as if they are suffering the same agony and sorrow they were about to unload on Han Fei.
Those faces were unable to hear a word Han Fei said, and their hearts appeared to be suffering even more than the initial two victims did.
"The victim who died the before the others are suffering more pain than others? What exactly did that human caterpillar murderer do to them?"
The cartoon on the TV should be what happened in reality, Han Fei saw that Wei Youfu and his wife are about to be torn apart, and he knew he couldn't keep going on like this.
The two victims had listened to his words well enough to find a trace of humanity, which was the key to changing everything.
If they were left to be eaten by the other victims, then Han Fei might have to face an even crazier monster next time that might not even care about eating each other!
Now is Han Fei's most courageous moment because his novice task has been completed and he can quit the game at any moment.
"You two saved my life once. I will not leave you two alone on your own."
"The other victims want to vent their anger, so I'll just find a target for them."
Han Fei got up from the couch and quickly made his way to the front door. The monster also got up, but the other five faces weren't ready to let Han Fei leave since their features had been warped by anguish and sadness.
When Han Fei detected a slight bloody odor in the air, he realized that the neighbor at the door had not yet left.
"If the neighbor from the sixth floor does not plan to harm me, then I will carefully talk with him and together we can find a way to control the monster in the murderous home. If he tries to kill me, then I will have to bring him into the house and make him a target for the victims to express their rage," Han Fei thought.
Wei Youfu and his wife were on the verge of being eaten, and the monster was getting closer and closer to getting out of control.
Han Fei didn't dare delay his plan! He directly grabbed the main door and pulled it open with one hand!
The moment the door opened, sharp knives pierced through the doorway.
Han Fei, who had been prepared for this, narrowly avoided it.
The neighbor from the sixth floor was standing outside the door. He appeared to be aware of the residence's problems as he showed no desire to step inside the homicidal home any further.
Han Fei guessed his thoughts from his actions, and as the neighbor was withdrawing his knife, Han Fei wrapped his hands around the neighbor's arm which was holding the knife, and pulled him into the house with all his will and strength!
" BANG!"
The two fell to the ground, the neighbor from the sixth floor seemed to sense something and hurried to get up, but Han Fei's reaction was faster and crisper than his.
There was no running away or touching the doorknob for the neighbor. Han Fei slammed his body directly into the door, slamming the main door shut!
He locked himself and his neighbors from the sixth floor inside the house.
The two men's features were lit by the unsettling light from the TV. The neighbor from the sixth floor, who appeared to be insane and fascinated with blood, appeared to have come to his senses and was regretting his decision.
There was a new entrant in the murder house, the desperate faces of the monster all looked at the neighbor from the sixth floor, and this time Wei Youfu and his wife did not block them from attacking.
A huge black shadow enveloped the room, and the monster in the TV set, tormented by despair and pain, came rushing from the cartoon.
The neighbor from the sixth floor reacted quickly, and he immediately grabbed the door handle, but Han Fei knocked him down hard.
The two fell to the ground together, and the desperate neighbor's eyes were scarlet, staring at Han Fei with a deadly stare.
The neighbor's obsessive fascination with blood had almost entirely vanished, leaving only wrath and uncertainty in his eyes, as if he were shouting, "You so desperately want to drag me to death along with you" with his gaze.
The monster that was going crazy with despair and pain had grabbed the neighbor, and there seemed to be many arms hidden in the darkness.
The neighbor battled desperately with the monster while he was hurt terribly. He used the most venomous language to bid Han Fei farewell.
The neighbor from the sixth floor was pulled farther into the room while Han Fei watched and forced forth an evil smirk: "Welcome to the happy and loving family."
