Chapter 193 The Only Man Who Ever Beat a Butterfly

With his mind blank, Huang Ying didn't dare to look back. Every cell in his body was screaming the same word—run!

Sprinting with all his might, Huang Ying was followed by a vast swarm of twisted souls.

The chaotic footsteps, the piercing screams and roars, and all the ghosts in the entire academy followed behind him!
The gray fog had dissipated considerably after Ma Manjiang was seriously injured, and Huang Ying was now like the first ray of sunlight piercing through the dark clouds. He held Jin Sheng's head and got closer and closer to the main gate of the academy.

The students and teachers of Yimin Private College followed behind, but it was already too late.

Covered in injuries, Ma Manjiang was furious and roughly pushed away the students around him.

Just as Huang Ying was about to escape the academy with Jin Sheng's head and leave this cage, Ma Manjiang let out a piercing scream. His body melted into black blood, and all the malice and despair wrapped around a blue butterfly that flew out from his heart!
The butterfly flapped its scarred wings and almost instantly burst out of the crowd, quickly closing the distance between itself and Huang Ying.

Seeing that the blue butterfly had abandoned Ma Manjiang's body, Han Fei knew that the other party was truly driven to desperation this time.

The butterfly was cunning, treacherous, and vicious. Despite holding an absolute advantage, it never expected that Han Fei would turn the tables on it.

Even from its own perspective, this was an unsolvable situation, but who could have imagined that Han Fei would find a glimmer of hope in such a dead end?

The tattered wings flapped again, maliciously tearing through the mist and leaving eerie patterns in the air. The butterfly was getting closer and closer to Huang Ying!
When Huang Ying was just over a meter away from the school's main gate, Butterfly caught up with him.

The lingering malice surged towards Huang Ying's body, and almost as the butterfly landed on Huang Ying's head, Huang Ying pushed open the school's main gate.

The inescapable cage was broken, and Jin Sheng walked out of the academy formed by his despairing memories!
The moment Jin Sheng's head left Yimin Private Academy, his tightly closed eyes opened amidst the thick scabs of blood.

The scabs of despair and malice melted away in an instant, and the head sealed in pain saw the world again.

All the scenes constructed from Jin Sheng's memories began to change, and black curses and bright red blood began to emerge from Jin Sheng's head. These curses and blood formed his new body.

The blue butterfly knew that all was lost, and that if it remained in the manager's memory when he awoke, it would only suffer a terrible fate.

It flapped its wings, and the patterns on its eerie blue wings began to change, slowly forming Huang Ying's face. The butterfly imprinted Huang Ying's face in its memory.

This time it will lose because of the man in front of it. You could say that Huang Ying is the first man to have ever beaten a butterfly.

As Jin Sheng reached out to grab the butterfly, its wings burst open, and its body turned into countless blue powder particles that disappeared.

"I never imagined that someone could actually help me out of my despair."

Jin Sheng turned his head and glanced at Huang Ying, then walked straight to the playground. All the students and teachers he remembered disappeared, leaving only him and Han Fei on the huge playground.

"You see, as long as you are willing to believe, there is always hope."

Han Fei lay on the ground with his left arm severed, his legs torn, multiple fractures throughout his body, and internal organs injured from the impact. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth whenever he opened his mouth to speak.

"Why are you helping me?" Jin Sheng was just like the real person, except that his body was composed of countless curses and blood, making him seem to be a very special ghost.

"Then tell me, why did Lao Li and your homeroom teacher help you?" Han Fei's fingers trembled as he slowly raised his still-mobile right hand: "Can you lend me a hand?"

Jin Sheng looked at Han Fei for a long time before finally taking Han Fei's hand.

Without the thick scabs obstructing his view, Han Fei rediscovered the true essence of Jin Sheng amidst boundless despair.

The moment he touched Han Fei, the despairing campus shrouded in gray fog completely dissipated, and Han Fei's lost memories surged back like a tide.

"Attention Player 0000! You have successfully completed the F-level Manager mission – Inspector Teacher! You have gained triple mission experience! You have also received the basic reward of +2 Free Skill Points! You have also received the basic reward of the F-level Manager title – Inspector Teacher of Yimin Private Academy!"

"Inspector Teacher (F-Rank Administrator Title): Increases the friendliness of all permanent residents of Yimin Private Academy by 10! Increases Jin Sheng's friendliness by an additional 10! Increases the overall curse resistance of the school grounds by 5%! Allows free access to the hidden map of Yimin Private Academy!"

"Attention! It is recommended to accept F-level missions at levels 10 to 20. Because you have successfully completed the F-level manager mission, you will receive an additional mission reward—talent upgrade!"

"The F-rank Managerial Talent, Soul Summoning, has been successfully upgraded to an E-rank Talent! Its effects have been enhanced!"

"Summoning Souls (E-level Upgradable Talent): There is a high probability of summoning players with the ability to encounter spirits to your front. It can roughly determine the location of the player's wandering soul. It can be used twice each night."

"Caution! The higher your soul-summoning talent level, the more likely you are to summon other things. Please use it with caution!"

"Attention player number 0000! You have successfully leveled up to level nine! One free attribute point added!"

The sting of returning memories finally subsided, and Han Fei slowly got up from the ground. He saw Huang Ying, who was stunned, and Jin Sheng, who was squatting in the cabinet in the infirmary. He also saw black blood flowing all over the ground and Ma Manjiang's dissipating remains.

After surviving a near-death experience, he finally succeeded in completing his management task and broke free from Jin Sheng's memories.

"Jin Sheng? Did you kill Ma Manjiang?" Han Fei moved his feet, the soles of his shoes already soaked with Ma Manjiang's blood.

"It was that blue butterfly that killed it. In my memory, the butterfly was severely injured by you. It knew I had woken up and, in order to quickly regain its abilities and escape from the academy, it extracted all the resentment and remnant soul from Ma Manjiang." Jin Sheng looked thin and weak. His whole body was covered with words and symbols, exuding a unique aura that only cursed objects could have.

"What exactly happened at Yimin Private Academy? Why is Ma Manjiang here?" Han Fei had countless questions in his mind.

Jin Sheng didn't answer Han Fei immediately. He stared at Han Fei for a long time before asking, "What is your relationship with Fu Sheng?"

“Fu Sheng? The former building manager?” Han Fei was startled when he heard the name, then told the truth: “I live in the same community as him. He was the former building manager, but he disappeared later. One of the reasons I came to your school this time was to find him.”

“Disappeared…” Jin Sheng slowly raised his head: “He once said he would help me get out of despair and stop the pain, and I believed him. He sealed my memories and abilities and did a lot of things to my soul, but in the end I still couldn’t get out of my own memories.”

What happens next?

"He sealed my out-of-control self inside this cabinet, and then he never appeared again." Jin Sheng's tone was so calm it was almost numb. He had no humanity left; at this moment, he seemed more like a cursed being.
