Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Midnight Butcher

In a nondescript corner of the Deep World, Han Fei, his soul washed over by bloody waters, clutched the knife in his hand.

Behind him once stood many companions, but now he was alone.

Everyone had left their hopes and brightest dreams with him, and he needed to survive, to live on with all their expectations.

The bladeless knife began to emit a faint light, the most noble of human characters shining like fireflies in the night, seemingly trivial compared to the entire world.

But at this moment, they dispelled the malice sedimented in the Blood Pool, lighting a path of life for Han Fei.

"Player 0000, please note! Your compatibility with the hidden profession Midnight Butcher has reached one hundred percent! Would you like to skip the inheritance ceremony and become the Midnight Butcher?"

"Note! Skipping the inheritance ceremony means you will not inherit anyone’s understanding of this profession, you will give this profession a new meaning! Professional Characteristics will undergo some changes!"

There was no need to go to the butcher’s house to change professions, the cost being the inability to acquire the normal Professional Characteristics.

This meant that once Han Fei chose to change his profession now, his Midnight Butcher profession would be unlike any other Midnight Butcher in the Deep World!

If it were another time and place, perhaps Han Fei would have hesitated, but now he had no choice, the more strength he could amass, the greater his chances of survival!

Decisively choosing to skip the inheritance, after Han Fei confirmed to become the Midnight Butcher, his Attribute Panel was filled with Blood Silk, and a terrifying vortex appeared again in the bottomless Blood Pool.

"Player 0000, congratulations on successfully acquiring the rare hidden profession—Midnight Butcher!"

"Professional Ability one: Knife-type Curse Resistance increased by thirty percent."

"Ability two: Flesh-type Curse Resistance increased by thirty percent."

"Ability three: Advanced Knife Mastery (the Slaughter Saber becomes like an extension of your body, you can freely use any Slaughter Saber)."

"Ability four: Gluttony, consuming food rapidly heals bodily injuries, doubling the recovery speed of flesh wounds after consuming meat."

"Professional Compatibility reached one hundred percent! Unlock exclusive Professional Ability five: after upgrading and gaining an Attribute Point, when you choose to add it to Physical Strength, gain an extra point of Physical Strength!"

"Professional Compatibility reached one hundred percent! Unlock exclusive Professional Ability six: blood and combat excite you, when your Blood Volume is below ten percent, speed and Explosive Power double!"

"Due to not performing the inheritance ceremony, Professional Characteristics have changed!"

"Professional Characteristics: Dawn Butcher, you are a Butcher who specifically hunts other butchers! When you face enemies with blood-stained hands and a penchant for killing, your Slaughter Saber will become even sharper!"

There was no time to look at the system’s notifications, Han Fei just felt a special connection form between his body and the Slaughter Saber in his hand.

One name after another was engraved into the Rebirth Slaughter Saber like indelible symbols. Holding this Saber, Han Fei could feel the warmth of their souls.

Their hands seemed to grasp the handle with Han Fei forever, their unmeltable character in the Blood Pool became the sharpest blade.

The more bloody and evil the enemy he faced, the sharper the Slaughter Saber in Han Fei’s hands became.

Raising his arm, Han Fei and all the Residual Souls within the Saber slashed the Rebirth Slaughter Saber toward the heart at the bottom of the Blood Pool that had been there for who knows how long.

The cold, hard scab on the heart was shattered, the rotten flesh was sliced open, malice and hatred constantly intertwined, but nothing could stop the descending blade!

The Black Chain shattered inch by inch, and as the half-rotten heart was cleaved open, the Blood Sea capsized, the walls of the Blood Pool crumbled, and the entire Flesh Factory shook violently.

The foundations of Beast Alley shook!

No one had ever done it before, but Han Fei did.

Even Spider itself couldn’t escape Beast Alley, yet Han Fei found a way out.

His hand was still tightly gripping the Rebirth Slaughter Saber, but his body could no longer move.

As Han Fei and the black human nature scale sank to the bottom of the pool, when he was about to be buried by the collapsing Blood Pool, a hand grabbed his arm.

The emaciated Cry carried Han Fei, swimming towards the surface of the Blood Pool.

Leaning on Cry’s back, strangely, even though Han Fei hadn’t used the secret of touching the depths of a soul, he could still feel Cry’s emotions at that moment.

This child who had suffered abuse since childhood seemed to have opened his heart to him, no longer hiding whether he felt happiness or pain.

After meeting Han Fei, Cry really changed.

Breaking the surface, Han Fei greedily breathed in the air and looked around; the floor of the Flesh Factory had cracked, and there was blood and water everywhere. The place seemed about to collapse.

Pig-faced monsters mostly harbored evil intentions and resentment. If they touched the blood water, the parts of them that touched would merge into the blood, becoming a part of the malevolence.

In this situation, they no longer besieged Xu Qin; instead, they fled outside, thinking about how to save their own lives.

As a Curse Aggregation, the blood water also affected Xu Qin, but she seemed to be waiting for someone; not only was she not rushing to leave, but she also moved towards the most dangerous Blood Pool.

The factory ceiling fell downwards, leaving no trace of the tallest pig-faced monsters, only the factory manager with wind chimes hanging around its neck.

Its obese body leaned against a meat grinder, trying to insert broken blood vessels from the ground into its own body, but nothing it did could prevent the factory from being destroyed.

With uneasy roars, its bloodshot pig eyes erupted with all its resentment after seeing Han Fei and Cry climbing out of the Blood Pool.

Its fatty arms lifted the meat grinder, and it charged madly at Han Fei.

"Let’s die together!"

When the factory manager was still several meters away from Han Fei, a sharp dinner knife flew from afar, sticking obliquely between it and Han Fei.

After the Blood Pool mishap, the Blood Fog had already dissipated a lot, but when the manager looked back, it saw that Xu Qin was still enveloped in a dense Blood Silk.

Its pig brain couldn’t calculate how many monsters the woman behind it had killed.

As Xu Qin and the pig-faced manager were fighting, Han Fei took out the food Xu Qin had left him from the Item Bar, then had Cry put a pig heart into his mouth.

Han Fei first used the Midnight Butcher’s Professional Ability—Gluttony; initially, he even struggled to chew, but as the first piece of meat entered his stomach, a warm force spread from his belly to the rest of his body.

"The meat Xu Qin prepared contains Curses, but I happen to have resistance to Flesh-type Curses; she likes to use a dinner knife, and I just happen to also have resistance to knife-type Curses..."

Eating continuously, all the meat turned into a warm sensation.

When Han Fei ate the sixth pig heart, he finally regained control over his body and his mind became clear.

Staggering to his feet, Han Fei gripped the Slaughter Saber in his hand, looking at the pig-faced manager.

"Now it’s your turn."
