Chapter 862: Chapter 862: Exorcism Ceremony
The personality ability of Number Two is related to destiny. Among all the children, he is the most mysterious, and apart from Zero, he is the only one who may still retain self-awareness, knowing many secrets.
“You’re right. No matter what the future becos, I will not give up performing and will continue to move forward.”
Han Fei gently placed his hand on Bai Xian’s forehead. The healing starlight, through touch, illuminated the depths of Bai Xian’s consciousness, revealing secrets deep within his soul.
Bai Xian, who survived the great disaster, had a soul that was incomplete, as if torn apart and devoured by a pack of wild dogs, suffering too much tornt and pain.
“Brother Bai, can you hear my voice?”
Han Fei’s will approached Bai Xian, and he grasped Bai Xian’s hand.
If it weren’t for eting Han Fei, Bai Xian might not have suffered this pain and would still be pursuing his acting career.
It was because Han Fei showed him the truth that he beca the turning point of fate, catching the attention of those unspeakable entities from the Deep World.
“Tell , who caused you to beco like this?”
The starlight was healing the wounds on Bai Xian’s soul. His nearly collapsing consciousness gradually stabilized; his eyelids fluttered as if he heard Han Fei’s call. That familiar voice made him squeeze Han Fei’s hand tightly.
After the disaster struck, there was no longer any safe place in the night. He hadn’t felt such peace in a long ti.
Bai Xian’s closed heart opened to Han Fei, as the suppressed mories inside seed like wildly growing poisonous weeds, crowding his atrium.
Images of tornt, threats from ghosts and monsters, life-and-death escapades, personally witnessing the tragic deaths of those around him — a flood of unbearable mories appeared before Han Fei’s eyes. Bai Xian had not awakened any special personality; he was rely an ordinary person entangled in the center of the disaster, using his perspective to docunt the most desperate and cruel world.
As the starlight shone into his heart, the poisonous weeds and thorns began to wither. A large void appeared in Bai Xian’s heart. It seed he had t a key person in his life, but that key person had now vanished without a trace, leading his mories and spirit into chaos; many scenes couldn’t be pieced together.
“The person who disappeared should be . I altered Bai Xian’s fate. In this most dire future, my soul scattered, which is why his mories are in disorder.”
After clearing away all the “poisonous weeds,” Han Fei saw a twisted shadow in the void of Bai Xian’s atrium. The shadow seed to have noticed Han Fei long ago and had been secretly observing him.
“Kong Tiancheng?”
The twisted shadow had a deford body, but its face had not changed much, looking identical to Kong Tiancheng, a Deep Space Technology executive from Han Fei’s mories.
“My na is Han Fei. Perhaps you’ve never heard this na, but you should notice Bai Xian’s subconscious holds a special regard for . I was killed by the Divine Spirit while trying to prevent this disaster. A thought of mine attached to a mber of the Disaster Investigation Bureau, and Bai Xian is one of my best friends who got implicated because of .”
The healing starlight paused in front of Kong Tiancheng, moving no further. Han Fei needed a partner; he wouldn’t force the other party.
“If you still don’t believe it, I can bring out the Dark rchant to talk to you.”
A black mist of greed slowly surged out. The Dark rchant cautiously entered Bai Xian’s heart, explaining the matters concerning Han Fei and the Divine Spirit Statue.
Ti was limited, and Han Fei was doing his utmost to persuade the other party. Kong Tiancheng was also deliberating whether to trust Han Fei; in this city shrouded by disaster, trust was the rarest commodity.
After a long ti, a knocking sound echoed, causing everyone’s tension to rise. Still hesitating, Kong Tiancheng also understood the urgency. He slowly erged from his hiding place and stood under the starlight.
The anticipated pain and burning sensation were absent, and the wounds on his soul began to heal slowly.
“This place is dangerous; so people are already targeting you. I’ll take you away, and we can talk elsewhere.” Han Fei led Kong Tiancheng into the Greed Abyss, then let go of Bai Xian’s hand. He would take Bai Xian away, but not now.
Prompted by the Doctor and Afu, he swiftly left with Number Two on his back.
Shortly after they departed, the doctor conducting the rounds entered, placing several patients, including Bai Xian, onto a cart and taking them out of the ward one by one.
“Where is the hospital taking them?” Han Fei was sowhat worried about Bai Xian.
“The day is about to break, and the hospital should hold its regular exorcism ceremony to cleanse their spirits.” The doctor assud Han Fei was also a mber of the organization; he didn’t know Han Fei had coerced Afu to sneak in all the way.
Strange music played around the hospital, and those patients with severe ntal pollution were pushed to the back hall of the hospital.
Several possessors of special personalities stood in various positions, dressed neatly, as if welcoming a god, offering the highest respect to the soiled and despairful mories.
A faint glimr appeared in the night sky as the hospital’s do slowly opened, revealing a giant artificial moon that rose slowly. Its light was gentle and warm, sowhat like a weakened version of Starlight of Healing.
The gentle moonlight draped over all the patients, as those few possessors of special personalities simultaneously used their abilities, struggling to rid the patients of their ntal pollution.
Suffering is not worthy of praise, but people who remain strong after enduring suffering are worthy of respect.
On these doctors, Han Fei found the reason why Hope New City could stand firm. Despite the chaos and darkness within the city, there were still people willing to stick to themselves.
The cries of pain from the patients gradually faded. This mont seed to be the most comfortable ti for them each day.
“Stop watching; we have more important things to do.” Number Two and Han Fei moved to the corner of the hospital to start a conversation with Kong Tiancheng in the Greed Abyss.
Also keeping their mories from their previous lives, Kong Tiancheng was much stronger and more rational than the Dark rchant. His mory was intact, and talking with him was like talking to a regular living person.
“If you really are as you say, you should know I was the chief director of a project for Deep Space Technology and Eternal Life Pharmaceutical. I managed a brain area ga that changed the world, called Perfect Life.”
From Kong Tiancheng’s mouth, Han Fei heard that familiar na again. Before the Great Disaster, Perfect Life was very popular, with everyone yearning for that virtual ntal world, treating it as an artificial Heaven. But after the Great Disaster, in the city, Perfect Life seed to beco a taboo; no one ntioned it anymore, and even all promotional ads were torn or painted over.
“This disaster went completely out of control because of that ga.” There was a hint of regret in Kong Tiancheng’s eyes: “You can think of that ga as a consciousness channel, and the end of the channel connects to another real world full of despair.”
“But my impression was that Perfect Life was a warm and perfect ga.” Han Fei indeed thought so, though he had never played the normal Perfect Life.
“There is no true perfection in the world; all happiness is contrasted by pain. Beneath our joy is unfathomable darkness. It’s all the Devil’s plan!” Kong Tiancheng’s voice trembled: “Initially, I didn’t know either until soone opened the deep world’s door. All the players in Perfect Life beca the ‘source.’ Their spirits and consciousnesses were unwittingly eroded by ghosts, many died, and so transford into ‘ghosts’.”
“A door? A source?”
“That real despair world has many connections with the sea of human consciousness, but for so unknown reason, they were closed. Yet over a decade ago, soone used that ga to reopen the door, letting the despair world descend and rge with reality!” Kong Tiancheng’s soul trembled: “I don’t know the true culprit, but I can confirm they were in the basent of Eternal Life Building at the ti! The culprit had extrely high authority and modified parts of the Smart Brain through a reserved Hidden Door during the Great Disaster’s outbreak! The Smart Brain of Perfect Life was modeled after a Black Box, and the culprit knows all about it!”
Every word Kong Tiancheng said was rembered by Han Fei because it might be Gao Xing and Dream’s real plan, even about to happen in reality.
“If you want to solve the ghost issue at its root and stop the two worlds from further rging, you must delve into the basent of Eternal Life Building and reopen the black box symbolizing the Smart Brain.” Kong Tiancheng’s emotions were extrely agitated. He was a mad ghost, so many people didn’t believe what he said.
“Stay calm first.” Han Fei let more starlight shine on Kong Tiancheng: “Were you in Eternal Life Building the night of the Great Disaster?”
“Yes.” Kong Tiancheng nodded.
“What did you see?”
“The world seed to be turned upside down, with the night not overhead but underground. That deep, despairful place was like a mirror of reality; endless ghosts crawled out from it.” Kong Tiancheng pointed to his distorted, deford body: “Those who managed to survive the first wave of ghost attacks would later beco ghosts. The building was wrapped in so power, making escape impossible at that ti.”
One could hear the terror from Kong Tiancheng’s tone. Normally people falling into the Deep World would indeed suffer a ntal breakdown.
“Eternal Life Building should be the most crucial building in the Shrine mory World; Gao Xing’s shrine might be hidden there, serving as the city’s core.” Number Two suddenly spoke. He had no interest in resolving the disaster; his primary goal was God Stealing, saving Zero and the other children.
“Gao Xing… that na is very familiar.” Kong Tiancheng pressed his hands on his head, the black veins on his face bulged high: “There was soone by that na among the newly arrived experint subjects the night of the Great Disaster. His eyes were the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen, brighter than any gem in the world.”
“That person is the leader of Xinhu’s three major cri organizations. All the disasters originate from him. Do you know where he is hiding now?”
“He should still be in Eternal Life Building. I rember that taboo area holds a most special and terrifying ghost, its eyes covered with a black cloth. Most of the ti, it stays like a statue guarding the black room storing the Smart Brain, only erging when humans resist or the world deviates from its path, annihilating those trying to change their fate and the ghosts.” Kong Tiancheng gave Han Fei another crucial piece of information: “But it hasn’t appeared in a long ti. It’s said its soul has divided into three parts, corresponding to a tragic and despairful past, a bloodthirsty and frenzied present, and the most perfect future in its mind. To kill it, you must kill these three ‘people’ using the corresponding thod.”
