This house, the piano, and the dolls piled up in the room all belonged to Yingyue, but it seemed there was some issue in the middle.
The feeling of being watched grew stronger, and Han Fei found a diary in another drawer of the desk.
The handwriting in the diary was very elegant, and the writer should be a woman.
"January 1st, moved into the new house. From today, I will be a mother to two children. I will raise both of them."
"January 10th, Yingyue and Mingmei always fight, it's really a headache. These two are my daughters, I wish they could be more sensible."
"January 15th, Mingmei wants to keep a pet, but unfortunately, Yingyue is allergic to animal fur. Their personalities really don't match."
"January 20th, my husband and Mingmei don't like Yingyue, but she is my brother's daughter, I will take good care of her."
"February 20th, the police came today, saying that Mingmei and Yingyue got separated while playing. They brought Yingyue back, thank you!"
"April 18th, it will cost a lot to treat Yingyue's eyes, but it's okay, I'm almost there."
"May 4th, Yingyue's temper is getting stranger, she doesn't let me comb her hair anymore. This can't go on, I'm almost there."
"June 1st, this year's Children's Day was really fun, it's been a long time since the three of us went out to play."
At first glance, the content of the diary seemed fine, but upon closer inspection, something was off.
The woman's every word was gentle, but behind that gentleness lay a terrifying secret.
What made Han Fei feel most uneasy was the June 1st entry. There were clearly four people in the family, but the woman wrote that the three of them went out to play.
Who was missing? Where did she go?
Han Fei opened all the drawers of the desk and found a doll made of hair.
The doll was only the size of a thumb, and a piece of white paper was nailed to its back, with Yingyue's name and birthday written on it.
When Han Fei touched the doll, a voice from the system echoed in his mind.
"Player 0000, please note! You have found the G-level cursed item, Yingyue's hair doll, made from Yingyue's hair, containing a malevolent curse."
"Yingyue's hair doll (G-level cursed item): Why aren't you dead yet? This is no longer your home! Do you know? No one here loves you, we are all hoping for your death every day!"
The hair doll in his palm had no eyes, and it carried a chilling coldness. Just holding it made Han Fei feel very uncomfortable, as if someone was constantly cursing in his mind.
"I understand."
"April 18th, the diary owner said it would cost a lot to treat Yingyue's eyes, and then said she was almost there."
"But looking at May, she said Yingyue wouldn't let her comb her hair anymore, and again said she was almost there. From this, it's clear that what she meant by 'almost there' was not the medical expenses, but the hair she secretly pulled out."
"From the beginning, she never intended to treat Yingyue's eyes; she wanted Yingyue to die."
Han Fei organized the information in his mind: "This family of three took over Yingyue's house and killed her. But if that was all, Yingyue's resentment wouldn't be enough to occupy the entire eighth floor. They must have done something even more heinous."
"Eye-like objects appear in all the gaps and holes in the house, but the diary and the picture book say Yingyue had eye problems..."
"Could it be that this family of three once monitored and bullied Yingyue in every possible way? For someone with severe vision problems, she wouldn't know where the malicious gazes came from. She only knew that no place in this house was safe, and any place might have a malevolent gaze watching her!"
Han Fei suddenly understood what he had experienced in Room 1084. It was what Yingyue had experienced.
Panic, fear, helplessness, and the inability to escape, with malevolent gazes lurking everywhere!
"The child's picture book, the woman's diary, and the man's last words under the bed correspond to that family of three. Yingyue did these things to make those who once hurt her suffer the same pain and despair!"
Han Fei understood why Room 1084 was like this. To break the deadlock, he needed to address the root cause.
"I remember Meng Shi once said that a very dangerous little girl lived on the eighth floor. That girl must be Yingyue."
It would be difficult to resolve Yingyue's resentment, and Han Fei didn't expect to calm her down. What he needed to do now was to understand Yingyue and know her true pain.
The feeling of being watched grew even stronger, and the eyes in the darkness seemed very close.
"Yingyue is in this house, I need to find a way to meet her."
Leaving the bedroom with the piano, Han Fei entered the kitchen, bathroom, and living room one by one.
He searched all these rooms but didn't find Yingyue. However, he found many things that made him feel terrified.
There were three holes in the shower curtain in the bathroom, just the right size for someone to peek through.
All the doors in the house were broken and couldn't be closed, and some doors wouldn't even make a sound if pushed slowly.
There were four pairs of slippers in the shoe cabinet, three of which were covered in dust. The owners seemed to often move around the house barefoot to avoid making noise.
In addition, Han Fei found many drugs that could damage hearing and a large number of bloodstained earplugs in the cabinet.
For someone with vision problems, hearing would be a crucial reliance, but this family seemed to want to strip that away from Yingyue as well.
"Only one room is left, the princess room, which has a big problem."
Gathering his courage, Han Fei entered the princess room. The entire room was pink, with cute wallpaper on the walls, cartoon patterns on the floor tiles, and a special fish-shaped light on the ceiling. When the light was turned on, it felt like being in an underwater world.
"A very cute setup, but why do I feel so eerie here?"
Standing by the bed, Han Fei suddenly turned his head to the side, noticing something among the scattered dolls that seemed to be watching him.
"Could Yingyue be hiding inside one of the dolls?"
There were so many dolls in the room, and it was clear that Yingyue's parents loved her very much. Unfortunately, all these toys that should have belonged to her were later taken by others.
"I am your neighbor downstairs. I'm sorry for coming in without your permission, but I have no ill intentions. I want to help you punish those who hurt you." In the dark bedroom, Han Fei spoke to the dolls on the floor: "Isn't this room meant to punish them? I will find a way to bring them in!"
