Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Randomly Choose One "Lucky" Criminal

"Spider took the Meat Factory Courtyard for Family as her own tomb for eight personalities, is Butterfly planning to make this my tomb?"

"How many more secrets does that pervert still have hidden?"

The police car left the Meat Factory Courtyard for Family and sped along the road, the oppressive feeling enveloping Han Fei’s heart gradually dissipated.

"Han Fei, you must be careful recently, Butterfly has gone completely mad," Li Xue said in a low voice, "We just received word that the security personnel who murdered Huang Ying has died. Anyone related to the Butterfly case has started experiencing illusions and abnormalities, their brains, already different from normal people, are becoming even more seriously diseased."

"What do you mean?"

"Including Meng Chang’an, all the suspects are showing symptoms of unclear consciousness, auditory hallucinations, fainting, and so on. We had professionals examine their brains," Li Xue took out her phone, showing Han Fei a few brain scan images.

The human brains in the images showed widespread lesions and, connecting all the lesions together, they formed a butterfly with spread wings, as if in flight.

"The brain is the most mysterious organ in the human body. We had previously treated Meng Chang’an and the others for their brain issues, successfully slowing down the mutation in their brains. But we didn’t expect that the rate of brain mutation suddenly accelerated last night!"

Last night was precisely when Han Fei rescued Spider from the Deep World, completely destroying Butterfly’s setup in Beast Alley.

"We suspect that this mutation is not an isolated case. Everyone affected by Butterfly is likely to go mad. Stimulated by Butterfly, they could do anything," Li Xue cautioned Han Fei to be cautious, but he kept staring at the brain scan images on Li Xue’s phone.

After looking for a long time, he unexpectedly discovered that among the scans, there were also brain scans of Mingmei and her parents.

Though much time had passed, Han Fei still clearly remembered that family of three, looking like evil ghosts.

For the purpose of taking possession of the house left to Ying Yue by her parents, they killed her and stuffed her into a plush toy. Afterwards, Mingmei’s father even tried to chase down the entertainment reporter Jin Jun, but ended up being captured by Han Fei instead.

"This family of three is also related to Butterfly?"

"Yes, their brain mutations are incomplete, and compared to Meng Chang’an, they are considered failures," Li Xue replied to every question, since most of the suspects were apprehended with Han Fei’s assistance anyway; there was no need to conceal this information from him.

"I remember the three of them seemed to be playing crazy to avoid legal punishment in detention, right?"

"Mingmei’s father has already confessed. Mingmei’s mother and Mingmei herself are still receiving the latest in psychological and brain treatments. To get them to submit to the law more quickly, the bureau has arranged for them to undergo non-stop psychological intervention and correction for twenty hours."

Li Xue’s words brought some memories back to Han Fei.

He had personally gone to check on Mingmei and her parents in detention. The doctor treating Mingmei was the student of the psychologist who used to treat Spider, called Hu Wei.

This person had also visited the set of "Mystery Novelist" when it had just started shooting, providing the director Zhang and the screenwriter with some information about Spider.

"The psychological treatment helmet used by Hu Wei in treating Mingmei’s family was from Deep Space Technology, and all products of Deep Space are reliant on the same core..." After coming back from the detention facility that very night, Han Fei had an idea— he wanted to try to summon Mingmei’s soul into the Deep World.

If the game "Perfect Life" were likened to a world, then the sandbox therapy room created by the psychological treatment helmet used by Mingmei would be a bubble within that world.

Moreover, with Mingmei’s predisposition towards weak and dark energy, being highly susceptible to ghost encounters, theoretically, it was possible for Han Fei to summon her soul into the Deep World.

"Ying Yue’s vendetta has also been dragged on for too long. It’s time to think of a way to keep my promise." The pre-death experiences of those residents in the Happiness Residential Community were pitiable, and Han Fei genuinely wanted to avenge them. However, he was struggling just to protect himself, always lingering on the edge of life and death, without any spare time.

Now he needed to prepare to go to the Death Building. With his current abilities, he didn’t have the slightest confidence in surviving in that place.

So, he wanted to do a bit more for his neighbors before heading to the Death Building.

"I hope I don’t summon Huang Ying again this time."

In fact, Han Fei himself couldn’t understand why, with such low probabilities, Huang Ying could encounter the phenomenon so many times.

Under police protection, Han Fei returned to his residence in the Old City District.

He had just entered his home when he received a message from Huang Ying—Is it convenient to make a call?

After securing the doors and windows, Han Fei called Huang Ying back, "What’s up?"

"I’ve prepared all the quest items needed for leveling up to level 30 and the props for running for Honorary Mayor."

"Running for Honorary Mayor?" Han Fei paused upon hearing Huang Ying’s words. Brother Huang Ying was playing a big game!

"The Honorary Mayor has no real power, but there are many hidden benefits. It’s one of the hardest titles to obtain in the game. I plan to start laying the groundwork from level one and aim to acquire this title before reaching level eighty."

"That long?" Han Fei shook his head; he had been slightly hopeful at first.

"When we were chatting before, you enlightened me. After giving it some careful thought, instead of trying to curry favor with the mayor, why not become the mayor myself?"

"Then you might as well become the mayor in the Underworld; there’s no competition for you here," Han Fei said, chatting a bit more with Huang Ying before asking him to bring down more useful skill books. The Deep World was rich in resources, but maybe because there were fewer people, skill books suitable for human use were extremely rare. As a result, Han Fei had been playing until now with nothing but passive abilities.

Hanging up the phone, Han Fei ate something at random, then picked up the book on his bed and started reading.

It was hard to imagine that Han Fei, covered in blood, wearing a beast-faced mask, and carrying a slaughter saber in the Deep World, still carried a faint air of a scholar in reality. Anyone seeing Han Fei for the first time would think him rather reserved and quiet.

Midnight came, and Han Fei, connected to various wires, put on his gaming helmet.

The world was filled with blood as he slowly opened his eyes amidst the darkness.

Papermen stared at him expressionlessly, their cold aura permeating every inch of his skin.

Han Fei appeared in the storeroom of the convenience store, where he sought out Yinglong to inquire about the situation in the store.

During the time that Han Fei had been the Shop Manager, the store’s goods had been continuously "purchased" by lonely ghosts through barter.

Han Fei was different from the Paperman Store Manager; he didn’t have the ability to seal residual souls into various objects nor did he have the skill to create props by mixing flesh and curses, so the number of goods on the shelves of the Yimin Convenience Store was steadily decreasing.

"Shop Manager, it feels like you run this shop like it’s a charity, just for fun," Yinglong said.

"At least our reputation has gone out. No one will call us a black shop anymore. Turning white with these goods is still profitable," Han Fei said as he inspected the storeroom, looking at the abundance of flesh and the residual souls wailing in various objects, feeling somewhat troubled.

The previous Shop Manager had turned all these items into food containing dark energy and weapons imbued with curses, but Han Fei lacked that ability.

"Let’s consider how to utilize these things later. If the storeroom gets full, have Xu Qin’s little pet come over and devour some," he decided.

With that Black Giant Python around, the act of wasting was destined never to be associated with Han Fei.

Back in Happiness Residential Community, Han Fei first greeted Wei Youfu, then took Cry to the center of the community.

Soul-summoning here meant the summoned entity would only appear within the community; no matter what he summoned, Han Fei was confident he could control it.

Han Fei asked Cry to move back as he stood in the shadow of the residential building and opened his Attribute Panel.

His gaze moved to a specific spot, his lips moved slightly, and he softly whispered two words.

"Soul-summoning!"

The blood silk-filled Attribute Panel was torn open by countless hands from the middle, the Blood Sea rippled, and in that moment, Han Fei appeared to stand at the gateway of Ghost Gate Pass.
