Chapter 101: Chapter 101: You and I Have a Dark Connection

Feeling unexpectedly moved, Han Fei hadn’t experienced such an emotion in a long time, and he never thought he would feel this way in a world filled with fierce ghosts and monsters.

"Since you consider me as family, I will definitely fulfill your wishes in the future, so that you no longer suffer and can find true relief."

Apart from Wei Youfu, the other victims couldn’t communicate with Han Fei, their resentment and pain were too intense, pushing the remnants of their humanity to the corners of their souls.

Suddenly gaining strength, the seven victims were getting used to their power, while only victim number eight stared at them eagerly.

"What is your name? Or what do they usually call you?" Han Fei tried to strike up a conversation with victim number eight, but the girl seemed very shy. As soon as Han Fei approached, she quickly hid behind Wei Youfu, like a frightened rabbit.

"Am I that scary?" Han Fei wasn’t in a hurry; he flipped through the attribute panel’s life chart for information about the girl.

"??? (Grudge): She is the eighth victim, she is the chosen child, she is a key."

The eighth victim didn’t have a name; the system directly provided three question marks for her name.

Moreover, it’s worth noting that the names of the other victims all had the word ’regret’ written after them, only the eighth victim’s name was followed by the word ’grudge’.

According to the information Han Fei had now, it seemed that fierce ghosts were classified into different levels based on the strength of their obsessions, with ’grudge’ likely being above ’regret’.

"The system said this child is a key? This building is mainly for hiding the victims of the Human-body Puzzle, and the Building Chief just happened to create a map in his room, with an exit clearly marked on it. Could it be that victim number eight is the key to that exit?"

Han Fei had no basis, he just felt that the Building Chief wouldn’t do something meaningless.

"Victim number eight was prepared by Butterfly for himself, but the child ended up in the apartment where the Building Chief lived. Could it be that the Building Chief disrupted Butterfly’s plan ten years ago?"

Although the former Building Chief was now thoroughly cooled off, it was undeniable that he must have been very formidable in the past.

"The old man’s legacy has been inherited by me; next is to strive to elevate my level and explore other places as soon as possible."

Not wanting to disturb his roommates who were adapting to their powers, Han Fei walked out of the deepest bedroom of the haunted house and went to the living room alone.

He glanced at the clock on the wall; it was almost four o’clock in the morning.

Opening the attribute panel, Han Fei was about to quit the game when he suddenly remembered something.

Holding a try-and-see attitude, he opened the chat room. At four in the morning, chat room 444 lit up.

Decisively entering chat room 444, Han Fei anonymously sent a message: "Is anyone there?"

Huang Ying (test account number 0999): (⊙_⊙;) Appearing at four in the morning, are you the brother I know?

Anonymous user: Brother Huang Ying, what a coincidence! We talked last time.

Huang Ying (test account number 0999): Hahahaha, I guessed it was you, why did you suddenly disappear last time?

Anonymous User: I’m currently on a mission, and I’ve recently found a hidden quest that may be related to the Deep World!

Huang Ying (test account number 0999): Shh! You can’t talk about this kind of thing in the chatroom! Just keep an eye on it yourself!

Anonymous User: Anyway, there’s no one else here, by the way, Brother Huang Ying, what’s your gaming talent? Can talents in this game be manually modified?

Huang Ying (test account number 0999): My talent is a D-level talent, Long Sickness to Becoming a Doctor. It’s similar to my real-life situation, weak body, often sick, with low Yang Fire, but I learn various medical skills very quickly. What about you? What’s your talent?

Anonymous User: My talent is Ghost Encountering, and it feels completely useless, so I wanted to ask you if there’s any way to modify a person’s talent in the game?

Huang Ying (test account number 0999): Talents are given at the time of creation, and only a few people randomly get them, so it’s all about luck. Having any talent, even the lowest, is already pretty good, so changing a talent is probably very difficult.

Looking at the messages in the chatroom, Han Fei had no plans to use the Soul-summoning Talent on Huang Ying, even though he knew Huang Ying’s Yang Fire was weak, which made him a good candidate, but he felt there was no need to drag the other person into such a dangerous world like the Deep World just for an experiment.

Surviving here had already been very difficult for him; he could not afford to risk dragging Huang Ying down unless he could ensure his safe return.

"Talents can’t be modified? But can I think about this differently? A person who originally doesn’t have the Ghost Encountering talent, when exposed to lots of ghosts and supernatural events, wouldn’t they become like Huang Ying, with weak Yang Fire?"

Han Fei, a player from the Shallow World, was temporarily unable to intervene, but he could have other players step in, like Huang Ying.

In Han Fei’s plan, he wanted Huang Ying to lead those who deserved to be punished to some of the more supernatural places in the game. Once their Yang energy was weak, he would use the Soul-summoning Talent on them.

"The game is still in its sixth internal test, and there are few players. The people I want to target are probably not in the game yet. Maybe when the game goes public, I’ll have lots of opportunities, and this chatroom 444 will probably become more lively."

Han Fei’s scheme was ambitious; he faintly remembered choosing the hardest path and wanting to continue on this path, grasping both the Underworld and the Mortal World.

Huang Ying was a good person, kind-hearted, and most importantly, Han Fei felt he was fated with Huang Ying.

The fact that they could meet in one out of 999 chatrooms was definitely fate.

Huang Ying (test account number 0999): Brother, are you still there? Want to come over to my place? I spent a couple of nights redecorating and even bought some new furniture!

Anonymous User: It’s too late today; I should log off and sleep. I will definitely come over some other time!

Huang Ying (test account number 0999): Alright, rest up early, (^_^)/ bye-bye~.

Chatroom 444 is only usable during the two-minute transition between night and dawn to avoid being suddenly kicked out like last time, so this time, Han Fei said goodbye to Huang Ying before time ran out.

"This guy is really into the game; I almost feel bad for not telling him about the horrors hiding behind its fairy-tale façade."

After exiting the chatroom, Han Fei organized his item bar and then logged out of the game.

All was enveloped in red; awareness returned, and Han Fei removed his gaming helmet.

"Last night should have been a turning point in my gaming life; that building was pretty much like Newbie Village, and now I finally qualify to go out and explore."
