Chapter 290: 290


    “What kind of species is it?”


    “It has thebined spirits of 8 children. It’s very hard to deal with. The paper doll would stay away from it whenever we would encounter it.” Just as Drake finished, a shrill screamed emitted from the bottom of the hole. The monster crawled up the side of the hole with its 8 heads disying different expressions. It was more than 4 metres long and a thickyer of Yin energy twined around it. After it crawled by, it would leave behind a deep crimson trail. If Han Fei was alone, he would immediately think about running, but now things had changed. As Eight-Crown crawled out from the hole, the neighbours already moved to guard before Han Fei. Eight-Crown was just a tenant at Ziggurat while Han Fei had the power of everyone from Happiness Neighbourhood and Yi Ming Private Academy. He believed he could fight this monster.


    With the ability to log out at any moment and the aid from his friends, Han Fei was incredibly confident. He showed no fear facing Eight-Crown. Bai Sinian who saw this was beyond baffled. Why did this man look so confident when he didn’t appear that strong?


    Red eyes opened in the dark, the hungry pupils stared at the monster which emitted a scary presence. Crying mixed with despair slowly overwhelmed the children’s scream. Weep reached out his fingers to touch Eight-Crown’s head, “Do you want to y with me?” Therge snake tail whipped at Weep, the boy didn’t move to evade. Instead he raised his hands to grip at the despair within Eight-Crown and was slowly molding the despair into the shape of a knife.


    “Get out of the way!” Even though Bai Sinian was a coward, he had a good heart. Seeing the child was about to be swiped by the snake tail, he made to run forward to bump Weep away. But before he got there, a shadow mmed heavily into the ground. The wall and floor cracked. Lee Huo emitted a strong presence of misfortune. His arms, which wererger than a normal person’s leg, grabbed the snake tail tightly. He opened his jaws and bit on the snake tail. “Meat!”


    The venom on the Eight-Crown colorful skin injected into Lee Huo’s body but at the same time, Lee Huo’s deep misfortune also infected Eight-Crown. Bai Sinian was beyond belief watching the close quarterbat between Eight-Crown and Lee Huo. Just what kind of creature he had been hanging out with?


    The faces of the 8 children started to distort. Each child’s face surfaced with a strange character. One of the girls who had the character, Curse, on her cheeks stared transfixed at Lee Huo. And then the girl’s faces started to surface on Lee Huo’s muscr body. The faces giggled and smiled as they crawled deeper into Lee Huo’s body. At the same time, a boy with the character, Soul, on his forehead also turned to Lee Huo. The moment he did, Lee Huo’s soul started to crack.


    “The 8 faces of Eight-Crown each had their own special power. Singr use of them might not be that strong but if they impose multiple powers on the same person, it’ll have a very scary effect.” Eight-Crown image was caught in Drake’s single eye, he could see many things that others couldn’t. While no one was paying attention, strands of hair slithered through the vines and dead bodies. Eventually they gathered behind Eight-Crown. The woman who died from domestic violence at Building 2 had made her move. Her exposed body showcased ck and purple bruises, this was the first time she fought outside her own room.


    The seemingly fragile ck hair gathered together. When Eight-Crown discovered her, its body was already surrounded bys of ck hair. The ck hair was unable to bind it into ce but whenever it tried to break through them, it would gain one more wound on its body. As thes closed in, Eight-Crown was faced with a difficult choice. If it broke thes, it would be injured; if it didn’t, its action would be heavily limited. The snake tail swiped at the woman. Before the impact connected, she dissolved into ck hair and sshed like water. Momentster, she reformed at another location. No one knew where her real body was and no one knew how strong she really was. What Han Fei and the others saw was what she was willing to show.


    Han Fei had a deep impression of this woman. Her name was Qu Yun, like the Spectral Hound, she was one of the candidates to be the next building manager of Happiness Neighbourhood Building 2. Spectral Hound stayed behind at the neighbourhood, Xu Qin was injured so the strongest ghost with Han Fei was this woman.


    As the wounds on its body increased, the 8 children’s faces scrunched up together. One of the heads with the character, Brain, exploded. The blood mist spread and covered the other heads. Eight-Crown became more agile and the children’s expressions livelier. The blood mist was a strengthening potion for Eight-Crown but it was a poison for other spirits. Once they came into contact with it, their humanity would be immediately sucked away by it. Normal spirits had to stay away from it but it was unlucky enough to run into Xu Qin, the Curse Amalgamation. When the blood mist touched Xu Qin’s curse, it changed immediately. The gluttonous desire within Xu Qin was injected into Eight-Crown. The heads on its shoulders slowly sunk into madness. They stopped coordinating and attacked relentlessly.


    Bai Sinian was shocked by what he saw. Chill wind swept through the entire 4th floor basement. He had never seen much Lingering Spirits in his life, much less the sight of them working together. Just the sight of it caused Bai Sinian’s heart to tremble, he could never be part of this. He stole a nce at Han Fei beside him. He thought Han Fei would retreat like he did but soon he realized he was dead wrong.


    Han Fei who retreated to the edge of the hole opened his inventory and took out the blood red chains he acquired at the pet shop. He tied one end around the side of the edge and dropped the other end into the hole.


    “You’re not going to go down there, are you?”


    “If Eight-Crown decided to fight us inside the sea of flowers, then we would have to pay greatly to win. But it underestimated us and crawled out from the sea of flowers.” Han Fei said evenly like this was something perfectly normal, “Soon it will realize its mistake, so we need to cut off its retreat as soon as possible. We need to destroy itsir so that when it thinks about retreating, we could directly take its life.” The most casual tone to describe the craziest idea. The Large Lingering Spirit was just a stepping stone for Han Fei, of course that was because he had the aid of his neighbours.


    Even though Eight-Crown was a Large Lingering Spirit, there were great differences in power level among Large Lingering Spirits. For example, both Spider and the Doctor were Large Lingering Spirits. Eight-Crown was slightly weaker than the Doctor.


    “Are you sure? Won’t this be…” Before Bai Sinian finished, Han Fei nodded.


    “Won’t this be a waste? I know. I actually wanted to capture it alive and try to see if I could make it my pet. Having arge pet will be quite magnificent.” Han Fei held Rest in Peace, had the ck anaconda crawl into the ghost tattoo and gripped the chains. “But it’s too dangerous to attempt that now. We mustn’t let our guard down. If we can kill it, we should, just to be safe.”


    Bai Sinian didn’t know what to say. Perhaps he had been trapped inside the securitypany for too long, he couldn’t follow Han Fei’s train of thought.
