229: Chapter 229: Encounter in the Blood Mist 229: Chapter 229: Encounter in the Blood Mist Han Fei, to portray the Spider, had repeatedly read the book “Beast Alley.”
In the book, there was a specific description of masks, and the Pig-faced Mask was very special; many people might have turned from humans into beasts just because they wore the Pig-faced Mask for too long.
It seed that as long as one wore the mask, aside from hunger, they would experience no other pain.
Initially, Han Fei thought that wearing the Pig-faced Mask would prevent attacks from his own kind, but the incident that had just occurred made him realize that things were not so simple.
“Do I have to wear the mask to beco a Butcher?”
The mask on the head was severely damaged, covered with cracks, and could not cover the entire face at all.
Holding the mask in his hand, Han Fei felt an urge within him to put it on, though he did not understand why he had such a thought.
The mask in his hand seed to coax out the wild beast deep inside him, guiding his beastly nature.
It felt as if a voice in his mind was constantly urging him, saying that once he wore this mask, he would truly beco a mber of Beast Alley, no longer targeted, and the other Pig-faced Monsters would not consider him a primary target.
The mask seed to be the credential that distinguished prey from hunter.
His breathing grew heavy, Han Fei held the mask near his face, finally stopping it just a centiter from his nose tip.
“I seem to be able to resist the tempting voice inside the mask.” After his acting had reached a master-level, it felt like Han Fei’s brain had gained a switch to control his emotions.
He deposited all his mories and emotions deep in his brain sea, becoming almost a completely blank person, able to suppress his desires montarily.
The severely damaged Pig-faced Mask sought to awaken the wild beast within Han Fei, but his heart was hollow, and perhaps only a perfect Pig-faced Mask could lure out sothing deep within Han Fei’s heart.
That sothing, however, was probably not a beast, but rather a ghost that no one had ever seen before.
“I might need this thing later, but not now.” Han Fei put away the mask, glanced at the mutilated corpse on the ground, and quietly followed another Pig-faced Monster using the trail of blood on the ground.
As he walked past the body, Han Fei’s mind heard the system’s alert sound for the third ti.
“Review three: I once read in a fairy tale, let evil destroy evil, and the good should not even dirty their hands.”
Han Fei did not know whether this review was good or bad; all he could think about was how to kill the One-eyed Pig-faced Monster.
In just two nights after entering Beast Alley, Han Fei had already largely adapted to the place, unaffected by either the omnipresent stench of corpses or the occasional sll of blood.
In this murky, filthy place, Han Fei still maintained his rationality and clarity.
He did not wear the mask and had forcefully accustod himself to the environnt.
Han Fei’s leg wound had not yet healed properly, so he was unable to run.
The Pig-faced Monster, caught off guard, had been wounded at a vital point and was not moving quickly.
These two individuals maintained a safe distance and moved through the alley.
The One-eyed Pig-faced Monster, physically wounded, did not stop.
It seed to realize it was becoming weaker by the mont and needed to find a place to rest.
Its target was clear, constantly moving towards the north side of Beast Alley.
Han Fei silently followed behind.
To his surprise, the Blood-colored Paperman sensed Xu Qin’s location was also in the north; he was conveniently on the sa path.
“Why are they all heading north?
What is there?”
In reality, the at Factory was located in the North Suburb of Xinhu, as was the at Factory Courtyard for Family situated to the north.
As he moved further north, the pile of bodies in the alley corners grew larger, and destroyed Curse Items also started to appear.
The knives in Beast Alley seed to strengthen themselves by smashing other Curse Items.
The scent of blood in the air grew even thicker, nearly condensing into a black-red mist.
Han Fei felt like with every breath, Blood Silk word its way into his nostrils, carrying a taste of rusted iron into his lungs.
“Was I always just on the outskirts of Beast Alley?”
With no one pursuing him, Han Fei pushed his mory to its limits; he not only rembered each road but also morized all the dead ends and hiding spots along the way.
“Where exactly is that Monster going?”
Han Fei did not know where the Monster was heading, but he noticed that the Blood-colored Paperman’s reactions were getting increasingly intense.
That face, identical to Xu Qin’s, displayed a hauntingly beautiful eerie smile as the Paperman laughed.
Continuing deeper into the alley, the Blood Silk finally turned into a mist.
Han Fei looked at the alley shrouded in mist, reminded of the gray fog he saw while working on a task at Yimin Private Academy, one ford from a mass of negative emotions, and the other from murderous intent and blood.
The footsteps in the alley gradually increased; there were many more Monsters nearby than on the periter.
Although Han Fei entertained the thought of retreating, the reaction of the Blood-colored Paperman was overwhelmingly strong, and Xu Qin must be not far ahead.
Following the One-eyed Pig-faced Monster moving through the alley, upon passing a wall covered in Blood Silk, an unexpected event occurred!
The One-eyed Pig-faced Monster, nearly three ters tall, suddenly stopped in its tracks as if sensing danger, abruptly positioning the Bone Chopper in front, focusing its remaining eye on a corner of the blood mist.
Initially, Han Fei did not realize what had happened, but as he got closer, he clearly heard the sound of sothing being chewed furiously and swallowed madly.
The source of the sound did not bother to hide, seemingly completely dominated by hunger, with only swallowing and eating left in its mind.
Hearing this sound also made the smile on the Blood-colored Paperman’s face brighter, and if not for Han Fei’s grasp, it might have run out on its own.
The Black Giant Python trailing behind Han Fei also twisted its body, wanting to move forward, but it was afraid of the Pig-faced Monster and seed very conflicted.
Holding down the body of the Black Giant Python, Han Fei grasped the Boning Knife with his good right hand, feeling that the long-awaited opportunity was finally about to arrive.
The injured Pig-faced Monster emitted a warning roar, waving the Bone Chopper in its hand, its crimson solitary eye twitching within the socket.
As the Pig-faced Monster roared, the chewing sound from the depths of the alley suddenly stopped, as if it had never existed.
Shortly after, the blood mist swirled, and five pale, slender fingers clutching a Dinner Knife erged from the mist.
Footsteps sounded, and a woman, whose body was drenched in blood and wearing a half Pig-faced Mask, appeared in Beast Alley.
Licking the blood off her lips, her gaze skipped over the Pig-faced Monster and upon spotting Han Fei, a smile brighter than the blood mist surfaced on her lips.
