406: Chapter 406 Let’s Light Up the Night Together!
Passing through the outskirts of the Plastic Surgery Hospital to reach the more distant Paradise Area was a very dangerous endeavor, yet when Han Fei laid out his plan, not a single neighbor showed fear or hesitated.
After much discussion, the first group to head toward the Paradise Area was finally chosen.
In the Happiness Residential Community, those who volunteered to go were Xu Qin, Cry, and the doll.
Xu Qin had been searching for “fresh” ingredients throughout the area even before the disappearance of the previous Building Chief, and she had been to the Paradise Area before.
Of all of them, she had the most experience and strength, along with the trump card of the Hundred Curses Body, making her a very appropriate candidate.
The doll originally ca from the Paradise Area, so there was nothing to say about that, but what surprised Han Fei was Cry.
After being reborn in the Blood Pool of Beast Alley, Cry had beco different from before.
The places where he stood were still enveloped by the sound of crying, but he himself seldom shed any tears now.
All the despair had been etched into his heart, turning into a power he could wield.
After eting Han Fei, Cry seed to have grown up; he learned to confront his past.
Now, Cry was determined to beco even stronger; he set a goal for himself to beco more terrifying than the deepest despair, so that he might never feel desperate again.
From the Death Building Owners, those willing to venture to Paradise were several mbers of the death chat group and Red Skirt.
Han Fei would have rather sent the Building-jumping Ghost to the area, but unfortunately, she had already ignited the hatred of the Black Fire.
Although her Transformation had failed, the risk of her being detected in other areas was still great.
To be safe, Han Fei left Building-jumping Ghost, Zhuang Wen, inside the Death Building.
Once the personnel were arranged, Han Fei began the final step of his plan.
Before the Shrine’s upgrade was complete, he had to ensure the absolute safety of the Death Building Area.
Taking advantage of everyone’s presence, he led them all in a thorough inspection of the Death Building Area.
According to a normal ga, players could definitely mix in the Death Building Area until Level 30 before leaving, but perhaps because Han Fei had activated both sides of the Black Box at the sa ti, the Experience Value he gained from low-level tasks was pitifully small now.
There were many Grade G tasks remaining in the Death Building Area, but sadly, Han Fei’s current Experience Value barely increased when he took on Grade G tasks.
“Grade G tasks correspond to Levels 1 to 10, and Grade F tasks correspond to Levels 10 to 20.
Does this an if I take on tasks below my Level, a large part of the Experience Value will be forcibly deducted?”
Maybe in the past, so managed to level up by frantically doing low-level tasks, but now that path had been blocked.
With his neighbors and the Big Evil, Han Fei spent an entire night combing through every building in the Death Building Area.
With the help of several Special Grudges and Large-scaled Grudges, they completed two Grade F tasks and countless Grade G tasks, successfully rising to Level 16.
When he heard the system’s notification, Han Fei nearly cried.
For him to reach Level 16, he had cleared nearly all the tasks in the Death Building Area, which was a far cry from what he had initially envisioned.
“Brother Huang Ying leveled up by fifteen in one night, while I, with so many friends, only managed to go up one level after traversing the beginner’s map.
Is the difference between people really that vast?”
Han Fei was gradually realizing the difficulties of the path he had chosen, seeking the correct answer between destruction and salvation was truly not sothing ordinary people could achieve.
“Once I find Gesheng, and see Fu Sheng’s mory Fragnts again, he might make choose and open another layer of the Black Box.”
Han Fei’s first interaction with the Black Box was done in a completely unconscious state, representing his most genuine response.
If given the chance to choose again, perhaps he might make a different choice.
Now that the Death Building Area was safe, Han Fei had achieved his first dream since entering the ga: to have a safe ho, a piece of “property” of his own.
After thoroughly inspecting all the buildings, Han Fei and his neighbors returned to the Happiness Residential Community; not knowing when those leaving would be seen again, they wanted to say their goodbyes properly.
The neighbors went to make their final preparations, as if they had agreed on it, and in the end, only Xu Qin and Han Fei were left at the entrance of the community.
Fiddling with a Dinner Knife wrapped in Human Skin, Xu Qin, after everyone had left, took a bloodstained piece of paper from her pocket.
The paper was encased in a hundred different Curses, seemingly only accessible to those Xu Qin favored.
As Xu Qin approached with the paper in hand, Han Fei’s heart pounded wildly.
Having never experienced anything like this, and with his limited acting range, having never perford in love dramas or kissing scenes, he felt sowhat flustered now.
“Could it be…
No way, is it that direct?
Should I…?”
Normally sharp-minded, Han Fei’s brain felt sluggish, and he felt that his eight points of Brain Power were clearly insufficient at the mont.
He tried to appear calm, his eyes wandering between Xu Qin’s attractive fingers and the bloodstained white paper.
The familiar scent of blood wafted through the air, and Xu Qin exuded a special aty fragrance that, to the Midnight Butcher, was more enticing than the world’s most expensive perfu.
When Han Fei ca to his senses from his distraction, Xu Qin had already approached him.
The distance was close, Han Fei’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and his mind conjured all sorts of scenarios.
In this boundless night, at the eerie and terrifying community entrance, Xu Qin grasped Han Fei’s hand and placed the blood-stained paper in the palm of his hand.
Without asking for acceptance or agreent, Xu Qin’s intent was clear: I give this to you, and you just need to take it.
Feeling an icy sensation at his fingertips, Han Fei looked up at Xu Qin’s face.
“Sowhat domineering, yet tender inside.”
When Han Fei first ventured out of the Happiness Residential Community, it was Xu Qin who accompanied him.
The Blood-colored Paperman who rescued him from death ti and again was also made by Xu Qin using her own blood.
If Han Fei was the Protector God of Yimin Street, then Xu Qin was Han Fei’s Protector God at the beginning.
Han Fei didn’t know what Xu Qin was about to say, but he felt that no matter what she said, he probably wouldn’t refuse.
“It’s written on that paper.”
“I understand,” Han Fei took a deep breath.
It was the first ti he felt nervous not because he was being chased, “I never thought I could trigger such a plot in the Deep World fernted by despair.”
Previously, he had only treated the ga as a survival trial, but he hadn’t expected that there might be other side quests in the ga.
“That’s right, how could a perfect life lack…” Han Fei opened the paper, but after seeing its contents, the ideas he had filled his mind with disappeared like smoke.
The blood-stained white paper listed five locations, each hiding a huge cold storage.
“While you were away, I used all the food I had accumulated to prepare enough dishes for you, all your favorite ats.
It should be enough to last until I return.”
Xu Qin looked at Han Fei, a mature next-door big sister type with an expression that held a twisted sort of doting.
“You seem a bit disappointed?” Xu Qin’s lips curled into a smile, those lips that seed to be sared with fresh blood, slowly approaching Han Fei, “Or is it that you wanted to eat sothing else?”
Xu Qin’s laughter rang in his ears, and by the ti Han Fei reacted, Xu Qin had already thrown a black giant python in front of him, then entered the Happiness Residental Community.
Under the flickering streetlights, Han Fei and the black giant python stood dumbfounded at the entrance to the community, watching her nearly perfect, blood-colored silhouette.
“Is that really what she ant?”
Han Fei turned to look at the black python, Xu Qin’s little pet also turned to look at Han Fei.
A man and a monster stared at each other, then the python pitifully slithered to Han Fei’s feet.
“What are you feeling sorry about, little guy?
Have I wronged you by being with ?
I have a lot of pets now, each one stronger and more reliable than the last.” Almost at the sa ti Han Fei finished speaking, a system notification suddenly appeared in his mind.
“Player number 0000, please note!
You have indulged in evil obstructions, gaining ten reputation points!
Your current reputation score is forty-six!”
After so much hardship, his reputation had only reached over thirty points, and now the system suddenly indicated that his reputation had spiked by ten points, leaving Han Fei utterly dumbfounded.
“The neighbors haven’t set off yet?
How did my reputation suddenly skyrocket?” After checking the notification again, Han Fei had a very bad feeling, “Indulged in evil obstructions?
Isn’t that Big Evil’s talent?
Damn it!
Where’s Big Evil?”
Looking around, the Big Evil who had always been by Han Fei’s side was now nowhere to be found, just as a dog might disappear in the blink of an eye while being out for a walk.
Feeling increasingly uneasy, he searched along the street, and upon seeing the shrine in front of the Happiness Residental Community entrance, his head buzzed and his lips turned pale with fear.
The black cloth had fallen to the ground, and the broken bowl in front of the shrine was overturned.
The white rice that was never ant to decrease in the bowl was now completely gone!
“Player number 0000, please note!
Your pet has caught the attention of an unknown entity, you are now in a continuous cursed state—Taboo.”
“Player number 0000, please note!
Your pet has desecrated the shrine, you are now in a continuous cursed state—Evil Fiend.”
“Taboo (Continuous Cursed State, removal thod unknown): Charm reduced by one!
There are many unspeakable taboos in this city; you chose not to believe in them, and while you speak of their nas, they have already grasped your heart.”
“Evil Fiend (Continuous Cursed State, removal thod unknown): Charm reduced by three!
Few people are willing to approach you now, you will bring misfortune.”
It was only after the system finished its notifications and hearing Han Fei’s voice that Big Evil crawled out of the shrine, chewing on sothing in its mouth.
Han Fei did not know what Big Evil had eaten inside the shrine.
When he looked inside the shrine, it was already empty, not even the pedestal for the god statue was there.
“What a sin I have committed, truly a sin!”
Han Fei didn’t mind the Big Evil eating the shrine, but the problem was that the shrine at the entrance of the Happiness Residential Community seed to have been left by one of their own!
“Forget it, what’s done is done and it can’t be changed now.” Han Fei stared at the empty shrine, then turned back to look at the system prompt, “The Big Evil ate the contents of the shrine, and although the penalty is applied to both and Big Evil, the system seems to have ntioned only that my pet has now caught the attention of an unknown existence.”
“Only Big Evil was seen by the Unspeakable behind the shrine, not .
If that’s the case, then I might as well let Big Evil eat the shrines in other areas.”
“The curses my pet receives, I, as its master, bear them together.
However, it seems that the Reputation my pet acquires is also attributed to .”
Han Fei calculated the amount of Reputation he needed, and by destroying five more shrines, he would almost et the conditions for his own shrine upgrade.
“Maybe I should send Big Evil to the Paradise Area?
Or have it impersonate a monster that ca out of the Plastic Surgery Hospital?”
Han Fei looked at Big Evil, still running circles around him like a fool, and lots of ideas sprang up in his mind.
He began to reason with Big Evil, pointing at the shrines, trying to tell it that in the not too distant other neighborhoods, there were even tastier shrines to indulge in.
Neighbors entering the community returned one by one, ready to complete the tasks Han Fei had assigned.
Big Evil, intrigued by the scenes Han Fei had described, was willing to eat the shrines, but the problem now was that no one other than Han Fei could direct Big Evil.
With just a drop of blood in him, Han Fei couldn’t personally lead Big Evil to seek out shrines; he had to entrust soone else to watch over Big Evil, otherwise this harbinger of great disaster might beco uncontrollable.
After everyone around had tried, Han Fei was surprised to find that Big Evil showed no desire to kill Bai Sinian, the only Survivor from the Security Company.
“Bai Sinian?
You have this ability?”
Big Evil was born in the corpse pit of a pet store, and its first Transformation occurred in the blood pool beneath the Security Company.
Perhaps during its Transformation, it had been influenced by the dead souls of the security guards, or maybe it was because Han Fei wore the Security Guard uniform every day.
In any case, when Big Evil passed by Bai Sinian, it did not reveal any urge to attack.
“I’m glad I saved you back then.” Han Fei had not expected his past kindness to co to his aid at a critical mont.
He called Big Evil and Bai Sinian together, repeatedly requesting them to act in tandem.
It took a full hour before Big Evil reluctantly agreed to accompany Bai Sinian.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely take care of it.
Where it goes, I go!” Bai Sinian, dressed in the Security Guard uniform with an “Evil Dog” following, had an impressive air about him.
“Don’t wear the Security Guard uniform anymore.
You’d better get so patient garb from near the Plastic Surgery Hospital and put that on.
From today on, you’ve co out of the Plastic Surgery Hospital.
Don’t call its na Big Evil either, from now on you call it the Plastic Surgery Worm.” Han Fei began to work on the details, urgently coaching each neighbor in their roles.
After everything was arranged, they made their way to Ancestral Hall Street.
With the help of the Mirror God, everyone carried a large amount of broken Life Ropes and had also learned the basic thods of using them.
“This ti we must make a big commotion, but we are not ones to kill indiscriminately.
If we encounter any Fierce Ghosts that we can help, don’t be stingy with your kindness,” Han Fei pointing to himself, said, “Before, I alone was called Han Fei in this darkness.
Only I believed in hope.
Now all of you are called Han Fei, all of you have hope and light hidden in your hearts.”
His gaze swept over each of the neighbors, and Han Fei’s mind was filled with mories he shared with them.
Unwittingly, their fates had beco intertwined.
The boundless night of the Deep World might not change with Han Fei’s arrival, but the number of people willing to accompany him to light up the darkness was growing more and more!
