Chapter 745: New Knives
“Do you want to start a new week?
“Notification for Player 0000! Once you start a new week, all the souls in the the park will be sacrificed to be part of the the park.”
Han Fei had just entered the room when the notification na.
“No!” Ghost hadn’t been found, and Han Fei didn’t want him to be sacrificed just like that. Han Fei looked around. The room called Sunday was filled with death. They were represented in various ways like unfinished paintings, noose, specins, and various letters. The room was like an art gallery with the the of death. It didn’t matter what happened on the other days because, in the end, there would always be death. Han Fei was only intrigued at first, but he slowly noticed sothing was wrong.
There was a corridor inside the room. Han Fei walked down the corridor and reached a place that was decorated like an orphanage. The calendar showed that it was Sunday. The diary left by the worker stated that all the children had been sent away to soplace where they wouldn’t return from. The orphanage was filled with signs of life, like children's clothing, used toys, and gas. But there was no one around. Han Fei believed that all the orphans had been killed.
“A very normal day, at least from my perspective.” Sunday was very common. It was Han Fei’s life before he acquired the black box. It was ordinary with silence and decay.
“If I have chosen yes, would the room change?” Han Fei looked at the empty orphanage and a strange feeling kept bugging him. “No. 0’s The Park. The No. 0 should represent Mad Laughter and . However, I have no impression of this place. Therefore, these seven rooms should be made using Mad Laughter’s seven mories.”
Han Fei wanted to explore further when he heard the sound of ramming from outside the door. He imdiately retraced his steps. He had just co out of Sunday when he saw the door of Monday trembled. He rushed over and pulled. Working with the force inside, Han Fei managed to open the door for Monday. Ghost crawled out with disheveled clothing. After he escaped, the door closed.
“Are you alright?” Han Fei wanted to help Ghost, but when he touched the man, a piercing chill shot at his heart.
“I’m fine.” Yin Kui lifted his head. He looked at Han Fei differently. The eyes were filled with pity and suspicion.
“Notification for Player 0000! Grade C Broken Soul, Yin Kui, has cleared the first room. You’ve gained 5 points of friendliness level and gained a unique status, compassion with him. He has seen many things, but he can’t explain any of them.”
The system prompted Han Fei to ask Ghost, “How co it feels like you’re different? What did you see inside the room?” “I saw your past…” Ghost smiled sadly. He didn’t continue this topic. “It’s our fault that you beca a monster. Soone has to bear this sin, and soone has to correct this mistake.”
“I’m thankful, but I don’t think I’m a monster!” Han Fei pointed at his face, “Am I a monster?”
“A ntal patient will never see themselves as crazy.” The things Ghost saw really triggered him. He really believed Han Fei was crazy.
“Let’s talk about sothing more concrete. The the park is in a very difficult spot now. Your own friend, Dream, has beco an Unntionable. It plans to kill everyone here and slowly corrupt the real world. I’ve been trying to stop it, but I’m too weak. Therefore, I hope you can join .” Han Fei hoped that Ghost would stay to help him.
“I’m still too heavily injured!”
“It’s okay.” Han Fei opened his nu. He hadn’t used his reward from clearing Fu Sheng’s altar world. “I can cure the wounds of any ghost under Pure Hatred!”
“It won’t work on .” Ghost shook his head. He looked at his broken arm. “I’m different from normal ghosts. I walk a special path, a path chosen by all Ghosts of the the park.”
“A special path?” Han Fei didn’t think Ghost was lying because there was no need for him to lie.
“Ghosts can strengthen ourselves by defeating evil in others. The more ghosts we defeat, the more powerful we’d beco.” Ghost glanced at Han Fei’s ghost tattoo. “It’s not that dissimilar from how your tattoo works. Actually, I’m curious whether you’ve inherited Ghost’s power. The butcher’s knife and ghost tattoos are normally used by Ghosts.”
“They should be Fu Sheng’s presents to .” The ghost tattoo was painted by his neighbor, and the butcher’s knife was made by Spider. They were both related to Fu Sheng.
“Fu Sheng? What a familiar na… It feels like the na is disappearing from my mory.” Ghost said that while he looked at Han Fei, but it was another young man reflected in his eyes. But the image was slowly replaced by Han Fei. “Okay, I can help you, but I need to forge a new knife.”
“I know a place. You should be able to find a new knife there.” Han Fei called a few citizens, and they hurried to Cattle Alley. This was Spider’s forr liar. It was filled with dirt and gore. Humans who lost their souls hunted and were hunted. Han Fei looked at the alleys where he had t many near-deaths. He had grown so much.
“My butcher’s knife is made here. Look carefully. There should be good knives here.”
Ghost was very familiar with butcher’s knife. Han Fei wanted to use this opportunity to collect all the knives at Cattle Alley and share them among the citizens so they could protect themselves. Most ghosts fought with instinct, but the souls Han Fei got from Fu Sheng were unique. They still had clear minds. With Ghost’s leadership, they could beco stronger and guardians of rules.
Ghost’s eyes glowed once they entered Cattle Alley. His nose twitched like he slled sothing amazing. Ghost pulled out many old knives. He could converse with the spirits trapped inside the blades and read their thoughts.
“The knives here are old and used, but if you train them patiently, they can be turned into sharp knives.” Ghost used one arm to inspect all the knives. All the knives he touched would glow with spirit. “The knife itself is not good or bad. The important elent is the user. One has to find a knife that is compatible with them.” Ghost placed all the knives on Big Sin. He planned to carry them all back to the the park for the citizens to pick. “The reason I chose you is because of your butcher’s knife. Soone with that butcher’s knife can’t be a bad person.”
Ghost ca to the at packing factory. He picked up the giant chain used by the forr manager. He stopped. “What a cruel blade. It’s heavy with murder and sin.” He removed the sharp hook from the chain. The hook was around half a ter long, and it was black with blood.
“Is this a butcher’s knife too?” Han Fei was confused. He was almost impaled by this thing.
“Yes.” Ghost smiled. This was the first ti Han Fei saw him smile. “I’m surprised that we’d find a new knife so soon. It’s still weak now, but I’ll make it into the sharpest knife.” Ghost was still not satisfied. He continued to wander around the factor. When he ca to the dry blood pool, his eyes lit up again. “This is a suitable knife for too.” Ghost jumped into the pool and picked out a long boning knife. Different from the other knives, this knife was undamaged. Even though it was subrged in the blood pool, the blade was clean.
“Strange. This blade is not corrupted and is very lucky.” This was Ghost’s first ti seeing such a blade too. Han Fei was confused. The blade was hidden in the deepest part of the blood pool. It was close to where Spider’s heart once was. He didn’t notice it before because he was too focused on the heart.
“The whole Cattle Alley is built to forge this blade.” When Ghost waved the knife, the bloody air in the factory appeared to be sliced through.
“Spider’s nesis is Butterfly. He has been aning to create a blade of humanity. This should be a blade he prepared for himself, but he still got it wrong. A blade of humanity couldn’t be forged.” Han Fei guessed. “Can I look at the two knives?”
The knives ‘examined’ by Ghost had all changed. One of Ghost’s talents appeared to be triggering the properties of murder weapons.
“Notification for Player 0000. You’ve discovered an upgradeable Grade F butcher’s knife, Demon Fiend.
“Demon Fiend: This knife can trap souls and absorb pain and sin. The more you kill, the faster this knife grows.
“Notification for Player 0000. You’ve discovered an upgradeable Grade F butcher’s knife, Lucky Charm.
“Lucky Charm: This knife will only be used by those it approves.”
Ghost was really an expert in this field. If not for him, Han Fei wouldn’t have found these two knives. Han Fei didn’t think about taking them. He already had Rest in Peace. He would leave these two knives with Ghost.
With Ghost’s help, they found around 500 butcher’s knives in Cattle Alley. 400 of them were normal knives filled with death and misfortune. Around 50 of them beca Grade G butcher’s knives after Ghost communicated with them. Other than Demon Fiend and Lucky Charm, Ghost found two more Grade F Butcher’s Knife. Han Fei planned to bring them back to the the park. He wanted Ghost to pick suitable people from the souls and teach them how to use and know knives. There was no rule in the cryptic world. Everyone could kill. Everyone could be the judge.
By then, Han Fei had used almost all the rewards he gained from Fu Sheng. He planned to reserve the healing opportunity for ergencies in the future. Then, he planned to use Mirror God’s Soul Exchange and No. 0’s The Park to expand and improve before Dream’s arrival.
With Xu Qin’s company, Han Fei wandered around the the park for a long ti before he triggered a Grade G mission. After he finished it, Han Fei realized Grade G missions couldn’t bring him EXP anymore. He was in a difficult spot where he couldn’t find new missions in his existing territory anymore. The system also forced him to explore further.
“Level 25. I can’t believe I’m still at the beginning stage of the ga. In another ga, I would have ended the world already.”
After completing the mission, Han Fei started to arrange for his neighbors to explore the map further. He found the painter and went to the hospital to find the white shoes. White shoes hated Han Fei, but after his kindness appeared, the white shoes hated him less. It was still too early for him to help Han Fei, but at least he didn’t try to kill Han Fei anymore.
After everything was done, Han Fei logged off. Due to the path in the maze, it was chaotic in real life, and Han Fei didn’t dare to stay in the ga for too long.
Han Fei removed the gaming helt and walked to the window. He sneaked a look outside. Even though it was already late night, there were still many reporters outside his ho. “They sure are professional.”
Han Fei cooked himself a al. While he ate, he looked through the news. Huang Yin was first on trending. He was hailed as a hero. The mysterious man in the beast mask was second. With Deep Space Tech and Immortal Pharma’s ‘help’, he beca the leader of so hacker group that was exploiting the ga bug and the reason why so many players lost their accounts.
“It’s like what I expected, but they still haven’t provided an actual solution. That is surprising. Do they plan to let the bug continue to exist?”
Han Fei was still in the eye of the storm. The two big companies were still watching him. If not for the constant police protection, he might have mysteriously ‘disappeared’ already.
Han Fei checked his inbox. After dealing with spam, he saw a mail from an unknown sender.
“I’m Du Jing. We t at the the park. I have a few questions I need to ask you. If you’re convenient, do you mind giving an address so that we could et?”
Perhaps because Han Fei hadn’t replied, the sender mailed another ssage every half an hour after the first ssage.
“I’ve pondered this for a long ti. I feel like I’ve forgotten sothing very important in my life. I try to rember him, but I can’t.”
“Can you please tell ? Does Fu Tian have one close family mber?”
