Chapter 109 The Night Wanderer! (Second Update)

His pale hand gripped the knife tightly. As Xu Qin entered the room with the knife, Han Fei rushed over and took her hand firmly.

"Calm down! Don't be impulsive! This might be a misunderstanding!" Han Fei didn't know what was going on with Huang Ying either. Why did he have to come out at the exact moment Xu Qin appeared? "That guy isn't a ghost, he's a person. He came here for some special reason."

After much persuasion, Han Fei finally dissuaded Xu Qin from putting Huang Ying on the dinner table.

"Let's leave first, this place is too dangerous."

The landlord's ring has already issued a warning; something truly terrifying is hidden within Building 2.

After stabilizing Xu Qin, Han Fei entered the house. He grabbed Huang Ying's arm, intending to carry her on his back, but just as his fingers touched her, the system's voice rang in his mind.

"Attention player number 0000! The Unknown Level Talent Resurrection has been successfully triggered!"

"Return of Souls (Unknown Level Talent): Effect 1: After encountering a lost soul, return the lost soul to the body and receive a reward of -1 Malice!"

"Effect Two: Kill the lost soul and send your consciousness into the soul's former body! Enter a nocturnal state! Lasts up to ten minutes! Reward: Malice +1!"

"Nightwalking state: You can see the night of another world through the eyes of the dead."

"Attention player #0000! The Unknown Level Talent Resurrection has other optional effects that are not yet unlocked. Please use it with caution!"

"Attention player number 0000! You have successfully triggered the unknown level talent 'Resurrection'! You have obtained the unique hidden quest—'Night Wanderer'!"

"Night Wanderer (Hidden Quest of Unknown Level): No time limit. After entering the Night Wanderer state one hundred times, you will obtain the title of Night Wanderer. Having this title will increase your brainpower by ten! The other attached abilities of this title are unknown."

After Han Fei touched Huang Ying's body, a bunch of prompts suddenly appeared in his mind, and he was shocked.

Han Fei wasn't surprised that the Soul Return talent could send a lost soul back to its original body. What surprised him was that the Soul Return talent could also kill a wandering soul and then allow his consciousness to enter the wandering soul's former body!
Although it only lasts for a short ten minutes, it is already terrifying.

"Entering the Night Wanderer state a hundred times will also earn you the title of Night Wanderer God, and your brainpower will increase by ten, which is equivalent to leveling up ten times!" It would be a lie to say that Han Fei wasn't tempted. Attribute points are the hardest thing to obtain in this world. Even if you complete a manager's task beyond your level, you won't be directly rewarded with attribute points. The only way to obtain attribute points is by leveling up.

"A ten-point increase in brainpower is indeed hard to refuse, but..." Han Fei quickly calmed down: "This Night Wanderer title quest is simply a deliberate attempt to lure me into committing a crime! To enter the Night Wanderer state, you have to kill wandering spirits and possess their bodies, and those wandering spirits with bodies are all still living players!"

To obtain a title, one must kill a hundred people; the mere thought of it sent chills down Han Fei's spine.

"Entering a nocturnal state also increases malice. Why do I feel like this talent is trying to bring out my dark side?"

Han Fei did not directly deny the second effect of the Soul Return talent, but he would never harm the innocent.

After careful consideration, Han Fei devised a method that would not violate his principles and would allow him to complete the hidden mission.

"The Night Wanderer is a god who patrols at night and oversees good and evil in the world. It seems I still need to continue assisting the police in solving cases. I must personally eliminate a hundred evil spirits disguised as humans to be worthy of the title of Night Wanderer."

Mingmei's father was a suitable candidate, but unfortunately Han Fei's talent for summoning spirits was too low, resulting in a low success rate.

However, Han Fei was not discouraged by this; his "Perfect Life" had only just begun.

Carrying Huang Ying on his back, Han Fei finally felt a sense of relief knowing he could return him.

"Sister, we should go home."

Han Fei turned to look at Xu Qin, only then realizing that something was wrong. Black mist had appeared on Xu Qin's blood-red coat, and she was staring at a certain spot in the corridor.

"The people upstairs have come down."

The pounding of her heart echoed in the hallway. Xu Qin grabbed Han Fei's hand and said, "Let's go!"

The two had just run to the fourth floor when their way down was blocked.

A fat man with half his body burned off stood in the middle of the corridor, his beady eyes staring greedily at Han Fei and Huang Ying: "So he ran here."

With his mouth agape, revealing jagged teeth, the fat man charged forward with a ferocious expression.

He raised the sharp knife in his hand, letting out a piercing laugh, but before his knife could fall, a blood-stained dinner knife had already pierced its mouth.

Xu Qin was too fast; the fat man couldn't react at all.

It is bulky, but it seems difficult to kill compared to other ghosts.

Inserting a sharp knife into its mouth didn't have much of an effect on it; on the contrary, it completely enraged it.

Black blood seeped from the gaps in the scars, and the fat man grabbed the sharp knife and smashed it directly at Xu Qin.

A flash of blood, and Xu Qin severed the fat man's hand holding the knife, causing the curse within the knife to burrow into the fat man's body.

The baby-faced man couldn't even last a second after being invaded by the curse, but this fat man in front of him has temporarily resisted the curse.

His throat was pierced, and he could not speak, only let out a wild roar.

It wouldn't be difficult for Xu Qin to kill the fat man, but the problem was that the heartbeat from upstairs was rapidly approaching, and she couldn't kill him in a short time.

The sharp knife kept piercing the fat man's body. While the fat man protected all his vital points and was fully on guard against Xu Qin, a figure quietly approached and then suddenly accelerated and crashed into the fat man's body!
“I’ll kill every one of you outsiders I see.” When Han Fei saw the burn scars on the other man’s body, he immediately thought of the outsiders in Building No. 1. He vaguely remembered seeing this fat man in a group photo of the outsiders.

With old and new grudges intertwined, Han Fei decisively took action.

The first time he used the ability to touch the depths of the soul, a violent and murderous intent surged into Han Fei's mind the moment he touched the fat man.

The outsiders' souls were filled only with pain and a thirst for killing; they were devoid of humanity, and their sole purpose seemed to be destruction.

At the moment of contact, Han Fei and the fat man both paused for a fraction of a second. Immediately afterward, Han Fei's impact caused the fat man to lose his balance, and Xu Qin seized the opportunity to chop off the fat man's head with a dining knife.

After snatching the knife from the fat man's hand, Han Fei stabbed him in the heart as he fell to the ground, finishing him off.

The fierce fight between the two sides attracted two outsiders whose bodies were half burned off. Han Fei gripped his knife, ready to fight, but Xu Qin signaled him to leave quickly.

"Don't stop!"

Xu Qin wasn't concerned about the person blocking her way; she was more interested in the sound of a heart beating in the stairwell.

The sound of their heartbeats is like the drumbeats of some kind of ritual; after listening to it for a while, you'll feel your own heartbeat begin to synchronize with theirs.

It can even create a terrifying illusion, as if the heartbeat is coming from one's own chest.
