"The Wild Rose and Dandelion that bloom at dawn five o’clock represent Anian’s two children? Are these flowers all relatives from his mory?"
When Han Fei ca back to his senses, the mory images in his brain sea had disappeared, leaving two withered flowers in his hand.
"What I saw was a blank book, but what Anian held was a photo album. The family in his mory were the flowers in the ghost creature."
He opened the blank book and found that night of dawn at five o’clock, placing the two withered flowers inside it.
The children’s cries grew faint, and those flowers slowly grew within the pages, as if they originally belonged to this book.
"Player number 0000, please note! You have discovered a special task item—the Book of Life."
"Book of Life: Every person’s life is a book. Everything you experience is the content of the book. Your mories weave a story that belongs exclusively to you."
Continuing forward in the garden, every flower hoped to be taken by Han Fei. This garden imprisoned far too many souls.
Honestly, Han Fei wished to take out the Rebirth Slaughter Saber and do sothing big, collecting all the souls willing to follow him into the Greed Abyss, but unfortunately, the risks were too high.
Suppressing the greed in his heart, Han Fei lowered his head to find other flowers.
A few minutes later, he discovered the Common Hop that blood at three o’clock in the morning. Upon picking this flower, he saw new mories of Anian again.
It was Anian’s first day at Eternal Life Pharmaceutical, and from that mont on, his most unforgettable mories began.
The departnt leader was his forr tutor, who took great care of him, and his colleagues all recognized his work ability. This should have been an inspiring story of struggle, but as the experint deepened step by step, Anian slowly realized that what he participated in was not so great scientific project to extend human life, but the developnt of various forbidden substances.
Under the tornt of conscience and the temptation of money and fa, Anian fell step by step.
Year after year passed, and one day at three o’clock in the morning, his tutor suddenly died during an experint.
The Common Hop blood, and Anian took over his tutor’s position, becoming the new person in charge of this taboo experint.
The part of the soul of Anian’s leader was hidden in the Common Hop that Han Fei touched. This flower was also an indispensable part of Anian’s mory.
Running through the flower sea, Han Fei slowly gathered those flowers, and Anian’s past gradually beca complete.
This experinter trapped in ti was not an ordinary person. He was the top-secret project leader not disclosed within Eternal Life Pharmaceutical.
In his youth, he was dull and honest, slow to react, with a low presence, and didn’t even run during an earthquake.
After entering Eternal Life Pharmaceutical, he beca the most hardworking research personnel, silent, engrossed in experints, with the sole desire to develop a certain drug. He worked so hard because his two children contracted an extrely rare hereditary disease, and he wanted to save them, personally participating in experints to test their safety.
He was extrely persistent, but reality was no fairy tale. In the high-intensity experints, he slowly noticed that he appeared to have ntal issues, always feeling that everyone around him was ill.
To avoid losing this job, he suppressed all these secrets deep inside, pretending to be a normal person on the surface.
As the project continued to advance, he also ca into contact with more core secrets of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical, but during this process, his family fell ill one after another, friends all departed, and even neighbors moved away.
His latter half of life, akin to a hack in a ga, seed controlled by an invisible hand, with a force pushing him forward.
Eventually, he successfully accessed the core secret of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical—the Black Box.
"It seems Anian must have been used by Gao Xing and the Butterfly. His life is marked everywhere with traces of spiritual manipulation, whether it was him or his family..." On the flowers that Anian had Han Fei pick, a Butterfly always danced, dream dust falling from its vibrant wings, bewildering people.
Spending a lot of ti and energy, Han Fei collected most of the flowers, now only the Moon Flower blooming at ten o’clock at night remained.
"Anian ca into contact with the Black Box, the last blooming flower, it should represent the last scene he saw."
The way back had long disappeared, and Han Fei wandered in the flower sea, surrounded by more and more flowers and Butterflies.
The flowers pleaded, wanting Han Fei to take them away; the patterns on the Butterflies’ wings seed like terrifying eyes, watching every move of Han Fei.
An ominous premonition grew stronger. Han Fei noticed the ground subtly vibrating. He paused in place for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around to see the earth behind him bulge, as if a giant python was burrowing underground, winding its way toward him!
He dodged aside, and dirt splattered at the spot he stood before, a thick plant root burst out from underground!
It stretched several ters long, with strange circular patterns all over it, resembling tree rings.
Looking toward the earth hole, fine hairs on the root beneath hung with seemingly laughing human heads, beneath this flower sea lay unimaginable horror.
The ground softened, and Han Fei’s legs began to sink. Every step he took required twice the effort as before.
"I must not sink underground!"
Han Fei knew he had been discovered and turned to flee without hesitation.
Flowers could be found again, but life only had one.
A thick plant root chased after him from behind, worsened by several more protrusions appearing on the ground surface, a multitude of hidden "roots" underground converging toward Han Fei!
"I have Longevity’s blood on , do these guys not spare their own?"
Having no other solution, Han Fei continued to bleed Longevity.
Fresh ghost blood dripped on him, the hidden monsters underground eagerly chased more, but guided by the ghost blood, Han Fei found his way back.
The flowers beca frantic, entwining around his body, begging Han Fei to take them away as he seed to escape.
A single flower or a couple of them wouldn’t affect Han Fei, but when countless Flowers of Soul ca rushing at once, it felt like his Brain Sea would explode with the sheer amount of unfamiliar mories flooding in.
The selfishness of human nature was vividly evident in this place. The essence of these flowers wasn’t inherently evil, but they surged forward. If Han Fei didn’t take them with him, they would not let him escape easily.
"Such overwhelming hospitality!"
Gritting his teeth, Han Fei reluctantly opened the Greed Abyss: "Since you all insist on coming with , I guess I have no choice but to reluctantly agree."
The black mist no longer concealed itself, and the Greed Abyss appeared behind Han Fei, like a black tide, instantly devouring a large number of Flowers of Soul!
The Ghost Creature was completely alard. Han Fei ran to the Hatred back garden to open the Gate of Abyss, which was akin to declaring open war.
The flow of ti began to change. A strand of white hair appeared on Han Fei’s head, but once you draw the bow, there’s no turning back. He couldn’t stop now.
The commotion was too great, and several gardeners appeared at the edge of the Flower Sea. Their faces lacked features, only concentric age rings spread outward. The lower halves of their bodies were trapped by chains in the Flower Sea, while their upper halves turned insect-like, mutating organs specialized for cultivating flowers.
"Accelerate!"
Using the Word Spirit ability, Han Fei intended to leave before the gardeners finished surrounding him. However, when he passed by them, he unexpectedly noticed each gardener had a flower growing at their heart.
One gardener had a flower on them that was pure white, resembling moonlight on water, adorning the night, yet seed like it could wither at any mont.
"Moon Flower?"
The Moon Flower he was searching for blood at a certain gardener’s heart, protected like a treasure by the gardener.
"Blooming at night, withering by day, it represents fleeting beautiful things and emotions. It’s the final flower I need."
Han Fei imdiately changed direction, raising the black tide to envelop the gardener, seizing the flower stalk as he devoured them.
Anians’ most unforgettable scene in his life surfaced in Han Fei’s mind. He stood in a completely sealed underground building, where hundreds of hospice pods were lined up, all filled with dying people.
The experint participants were covered in various tubes, which all connected to a pure black room, resembling a massive Black Box.
The tags on the bedhead recorded the information of each test participant. So were wealthy individuals presud dead by the outside world, others were elites from various fields, as well as terminal patients, and even so employees of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical, including Anians’ own two children.
These people seed to have signed an agreent, entrusting everything to Eternal Life Pharmaceutical before their death.
Their bodies and souls seed separated, with their consciousness entering the Smart Brain, while their bodily organs barely maintained basic vitality.
"Eternal Life Project?"
A stationary clock hung over that mysterious Black Box room. Anian, as usual, checked the situation of each hospice pod, when suddenly he heard a knocking at the door.
In that enclosed space where no living person but himself could enter, a knocking was heard.
Instinctively raising his head, Anian looked at the black room with the clock hanging above it. The knocking sound ca from that room.
Still wondering if he misheard, the stopped clock suddenly started ticking, and all experint pod occupants inside bled from their seven orifices, with bulging eyes.
Piercing alarms blared, and the red lights of a level-one warning shone on Anian’s face. He watched as bloodied hands pushed open the black door, and endless Ghosts and Monsters crawled out from a Hidden Door!
Nightmare descent, Anian, with a blank mind, subconsciously ran toward his children’s hospice pod, lying with their bodies.
The final mory ended here, and the Moon Flower was composed of Anian’s own Soul Fragnts.
Once all flowers were collected, lines of text began to appear in Anian’s Book of Life, but Han Fei didn’t have ti to look right now.
After the gardener died, a roar of hatred echoed from beneath the Flower Sea!
"Run!"
Curiosity killed the cat. Han Fei thought of nothing, rushing back to the Security Guard room as fast as he could.
"Brother, I really tried my best."
Han Fei placed the Book of Life on the desk in the Security Guard room, while Anian in the window glass placed his album in the sa spot.
They stood on different tilines, linking past and present mories together, and a miracle happened.
The pages began turning on their own. Those withered flowers blood again within the book, vibrant and colorful, like Anian’s own life.
Sounds of laughter, anger, and curses began resonating through the book. The figures in the photos walked out and rged into Anian’s body, making him more and more real.
Once his body fully materialized, cracks appeared on the window glass. The clock of the past and the clock of the present overlapped, and the next second, the hands on both clocks moved simultaneously!
"Clap!"
The Security Guard room’s glass shattered outward in all directions, and all items aged rapidly. A man wearing an Eternal Life Pharmaceutical uniform escaped through the cracks of ti!
"Player number 0000, please note that you have successfully completed the Shrine Random Task with Anian, gaining a substantial experience reward, obtaining the Special Item Nurse Proof, and earning Anian’s friendship and trust."
"Nurse Proof: Wearing the work ID, you will not be attacked by other nurses, and the elderly here will not trouble you. However, you still need to be wary of those doctors and the irrational Monsters."
"Anian (mory Personality Holder): The Divine Spirit deceived him. During the seventh Personality Awakening, those unbearable mories drove him insane, trapping him in the past and making him a toy for several Hatred."
"After looping within the sa minute for thirteen years, you broke his most feared minute, freeing him from the ti loop, and assisted him in successfully completing the seventh Awakening!"
