Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Underworld Update Time (Double, Vote for Next Month’s Ticket Please)

Clasping at the verdant hills with relentless grip, none sway him, be it winds from all directions.

Li Xun dozed blissfully in the police station, the squabbles of the outside world didn’t concern him at all. Others need to stand straight to keep their shadows straight, but he didn’t have a shadow to begin with, with not a single loophole in his private life.

Just past one in the afternoon, as the police released footage from their body cameras, public opinion had turned around.

By then, the hot search had burst out of the local charts and Li Xun’s name appeared for the first time on the national hot search rankings.

Two terms related to Li Xun trended, "Righteous Hero" and "Never forgetting one’s original aspirations."

He was already famous, already celebrated, no longer just a bit player, but even so, the actor still hailed a cab at 3 AM to act as a Righteous Hero.

Witnessing Li Xun’s exhausted appearance in the video, netizens were shocked—what kind of strong sense of justice drove him?

Is this indeed someone who has risen above lowbrow tastes?

Some actors change after they gain fame, whether it’s their attitude towards their craft or their private lives, but Li Xun was completely different.

Through his actions, he showed everyone that not only had he not changed, but he was also working harder.

This effort was multifaceted, and after this stint in the hot searches, many netizens had become witnesses to it.

Who initially leaked the information was no longer important, what mattered was that the forces trying to destroy Li Xun ended up solidifying his popularity, indirectly conducting a massive positive publicity campaign for him.

Li Xun didn’t set out to create a so-called public persona, but now everyone knew that this guy, even after exploding in popularity, had not forgotten his roots and could be a two-time, and possibly future three or four-time, Righteous Hero.

The exposure meant to target him ultimately gained him tens of thousands of fans, and he moved up several spots on the actor rankings. At this moment, the management at Wuwu Entertainment was probably cursing in rage.

After waking up, Li Xun felt mostly refreshed, he took out his cell phone and started returning calls one by one.

The people who had called him previously had been through an emotional roller coaster.

Especially Director Zhang, who held Li Xun in high regard—the role suited Li Xun perfectly.

If Li Xun had really been caught up in negative public opinion, he would have had to give up on Li Xun and look for someone else to play the part.

Landing a role in a theatre-release film and working directly on one of Director Zhang’s projects was an opportunity for Li Xun to transform from a sparrow into a phoenix.

This also showed the malice of Wuwu Entertainment. They were determined to ruin Li Xun’s future, and considering how quickly the hot searches spiked, it wasn’t just one company aiming to destroy him—it’s likely that other actors who auditioned that day were also involved.

"For others, acting in Director Zhang’s film is a rare opportunity, but for me, it’s just taking on a role casually. Playing games every night is tiring; it’s just to relax my tense nerves," he said.

Watching the busy policemen come and go, Li Xun found that his current state of mind was quite good, no doubt a change brought about by that Healing-type Game.

In fact, he had no choice. In the world of Deep World, only those with a light in their hearts could keep going, while those with a poor mindset would’ve gone mad long ago.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, the police informed Li Xun that he could leave. Huang Ying was still undergoing questioning by the police. The police were likely going to monitor near Huang Ying’s residence next.

Back at his own home, Li Xun finally relaxed.

The most dangerous person at Yimin Private Academy, Ma Manjiang, was dealt with. Now he didn’t have to rush to leave the school and could complete his other Kaidan missions within the academy first.

Then he would achieve his first goal for the current stage—to clear Yimin Private Academy, Better Convenience Store, and Happiness Residential Community, connecting these three places into one integrated whole.

The woman in the red wedding dress had originally invited the Paperman Store Manager to go to the fourth floor together, but Han Fei cut off his escape, and even the coffins were stolen.

The thing they originally wanted to do must have been unfinished, and if the woman in the red wedding dress did not die, then there is a high probability that she will come back to Yimin Convenience Store.

After all, from the perspective of the Red Wedding Dress, it was the Paperman Store Manager who broke his promise and failed at the crucial moment, leading to the failure of the plan.

Before entering Yimin Private Academy, Han Fei was actually waiting for the Red Wedding Dress too. His original plan was to lure the Red Wedding Dress into Happiness Residential Community, and then pull together the neighbors to persuade her.

But now he has changed his plan. He wants to take over the role of the Paperman Store Manager and continue to cooperate with the Red Wedding Dress. He needs to figure out the information about the Death Building, and then do everything possible to get into it.

All Outsiders related to the Butterfly came out of the Death Building, the Memory Fragments left by the former Building Chief, Fu Sheng, are also inside the Death Building, and that tester from a few years ago went mad there too. It’s very likely that there is a crack leading to the Shallow there.

Any of these four reasons is enough for Han Fei to have to venture into the Death Building.

He needs to lay out his plans in advance and wait until he levels up to ten. Then, he will go to Beast Alley to change his job before slowly approaching the Death Building.

Han Fei’s planning for his game strategy is even clearer than his plans for real life; it’s as if he is truly betting everything on playing the game.

After eating something and getting enough sleep at the police station, Han Fei began to organize the files of Yimin Private Academy.

He not only wants to help the deceased escape despair in the Deep World game but also to clear their names and punish those who slipped through the net in reality.

Those who made mistakes would not get away, not one.

Han Fei listed all the school teachers including Li Xun and Li Jingmei, as well as some students involved in the bullying.

He wouldn’t wrongly accuse anyone; he only added names to the report after being absolutely certain.

It took Han Fei three whole hours to completely restore the case of the Yimin Private Academy Kaidan. Four folders for four deceased, his organization of the materials was much more professional than that of a newly joined police officer and could even be placed directly into police archives after verification.

"Only the most unfortunate can possess a Black Box, but is that really true?" After sending the information to the police, Han Fei started to reflect on what he had done. In order to survive in the Deep World, he had inadvertently helped many people, and in the process of helping them, Han Fei also gained something.

He was unclear about what those things were, but he felt it was precisely because of their existence that his heart had become softer and warmer.

"I gained strength from that Underworld game? Impossible, right? If it’s true, then is the game abnormal, or am I the one who’s abnormal?"

The clock on the wall ticked away. When Han Fei’s thoughts were chaotic, he would start reading books to regain his focus.

After flipping through some books related to education and entrepreneurship, Han Fei picked up the gaming helmet beside the desk.

He connected all the necessary wires, and when Midnight struck, he donned the gaming helmet.

Blood enveloped everything, as if the world was solidified by blood. In that instant, time seemed to lose its meaning, no longer constrained by the concepts of fast and slow.

Han Fei’s consciousness entered a peculiar state. He felt as though he hadn’t opened his eyes yet he seemed to see certain things.

In that cityscape frozen by blood, it seemed changes were taking place. Figures of blood-red appeared in the corners of the city, and they all seemed to look in Han Fei’s direction.

As his eyes opened, Han Fei was still inside Yimin Private Academy. Before he had time to look around, the system’s cold notification echoed in his mind.

"Player No. 0000, please take note! Due to a recent surge in the number of Outsiders, ’Perfect Life’ will begin deep-level opening starting tonight. Please prepare for this! More souls in need of Healing will appear, and all the passage channels in each area will be open!"
