Chapter 286: Chapter 286: The Business Scope of the Underworld Company
The people accompanying him suddenly realized that they had died, with cadaveric spots appearing on their once smooth skin, and their faces beginning to blur into a bloody mess, which should have been a terrifying sight.
Normally, Bai Sinian should have lost control, then started to chase after the living people around him, eventually losing all humanity, and in his confusion and hesitance, returned to the fourth subterranean level, before initiating a new cycle of reincarnation.
Such scenes must have occurred many times before, but this time, there was a change.
As Bai Sinian’s body underwent changes, his hand was tightly clutched by Han Fei.
He was surprised to find that before he had transformed into a ghost, the other party did not seem to be so enthusiastic.
"According to the monitoring records in the computer, you must have wandered around this building for a long time. You’ve discovered the truth time and again, evaded reality time and again, and then returned to the same place time and again. Brother, you’re trapped in a strange loop, a maze constructed by your own memory," Han Fei said to Bai Sinian profoundly, beginning to convince him to accompany him from various aspects.
After the trials of the Deep World, Han Fei was more professional than many psychologists on the market; there was no helping it, as his practical experience was just too rich.
Watching the computer screen and recalling those terrible memories, Bai Sinian, who was in a state of confusion, should have gone mad, but instead, he was suppressed by Han Fei both spiritually and physically.
"I know it’s hard for you to accept right now, but you can’t change what has happened," said Han Fei, after using the secret that touched the depths of the soul. He found that Bai Sinian was not really an evil ghost; his soul was like a tangled mess of threads, with very little malice interwoven within.
"Now you should remember many things. Can you tell me what actually happened inside the Security Company?" Han Fei asked only after Bai Sinian’s state had somewhat stabilized.
"Dead, everyone’s dead. Only the dead are taken away. To become a security guard, one must first become dead. They came from various places, died a terrible death, then were sent to different places." Bai Sinian seemed to be talking nonsense, muttering continuously: "No one will come back again, they will never return."
Watching Bai Sinian’s crazed behavior, Han Fei really wanted to open up his head and treat him properly.
Suppressing the urge in his heart, Han Fei tried to appear as gentle and kind as possible, "What do you mean by ’one must first become dead before becoming a security guard’? Didn’t you say before that you’ve seen the security uniform on me? What kind of special ’training’ do those guards sent to my area have to go through?"
"All the guards sent there were personally chosen by the boss. I was chosen before as well. We have to first go to the fourth floor to receive a form, and then proceed to the final step on the fourth subterranean level."
"To the fourth subterranean level for the final step?"
"I don’t know what the last step is. The master said I was too timid and told me to find a place to hide outside first..." Bai Sinian, painfully covering his head, felt as if his brain would split apart just thinking about these things.
Seeing Bai Sinian in pain to the point of nearly losing his sanity, Han Fei stopped asking questions and opened the files on the computer, watching the surveillance videos several times over.
These videos in the recycle bin were backups of surveillance footage, deliberately left behind by someone.
"Where are the other surveillance recordings?"
"On the fourth floor, the main surveillance room and the boss’s office are both there. He likes to monitor our work."
Without lingering, Han Fei took Bai Sinian and went directly to the fourth floor by elevator.
From the outside, this place looked much like the second floor, normal, with no issues, only the smell of burning in the air had intensified slightly.
"This building looks quite normal, it’s hard to imagine that such a place would hide an F-grade mission."
Having done so many missions, Han Fei had long realized that the names of all missions were never given at random; the mission name itself is a clue.
"Why would the system determine the mission target to be the Protector God of Yimin Street? If there’s no mission target, would Yimin Street be destroyed?"
While Han Fei was puzzled, Bai Sinian had already reached the most luxurious door in the entire company, triggering the terrible memories in his mind once again.
His pale fingers began to twitch. He grabbed the doorknob but didn’t have the courage to push the door open.
"Is the boss of your Security Company very terrifying?" Han Fei pulled out the Rebirth Saber from his Item Bar.
"Yes, the only memory I have left is the sense of fear I felt towards him,"
"Then you are still too young and inexperienced. In time, you’ll realize that there are many more terrifying people than him," Han Fei said before kicking open the office door and entering, cradling the Spiritual Altar in one arm.
The decor was dominated by gold, exuding an air of new money.
In the nearly fifty-square-meter office to the left, there was a glass cabinet displaying various crafts and golden objects; to the right stood a bookshelf, piled high with all kinds of books, most of which seemed like they had never been opened.
Moving forward, there was an overly large and conspicuous desk with various files on it.
Picking up a file at random, he read the information and training record of a particular security guard.
Just by looking at these materials, this Security Company seemed incredibly professional. Not only were they responsible for training security guards, but they also provided most of their guards with suitable job placements, ensuring that every guard who underwent training could find their ideal job.
"Employee information, training scores, career planning, job feedback..." Han Fei looked for a long time but couldn’t spot any issues. This Underworld Security Company seemed even more professional than many companies in the real world.
"It’s not like this, it’s not like this!" Bai Sinian had been afraid to come over, but seeing Han Fei’s irreverent demeanor, his own courage gradually grew. He stood next to the desk, skimming through the files, "The real spreadsheet has been hidden away!"
Bai Sinian kept searching the office while Han Fei quietly observed his surroundings. Soon, he rummaged through a trash bin and found a torn spreadsheet.
He spread it out. It didn’t have any specific names or photos, just a serial number.
It seemed to be a cargo manifesto, but the description of the goods was strange.
"Serial number 069, average evaluation, barely meets the requirements."
"The item itself has no flaws, the surface pattern is intact with no damage, the internal chamber is complete and stable; it is a decent vessel."
At first glance, the cargo seemed to be a vessel, but why would there be a cargo invoice for vessels in a security company?
Han Fei extended his hand, wearing the landlord’s ring, and used the Passive Ability of Hide-and-Seek to carefully check every corner of the office.
When he passed the bookshelf, the landlord’s ring gave off a faint chill. Han Fei stopped in his tracks and had Cry and Li Zai move the bookshelf.
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, there was a secret elevator hidden behind the heavy bookshelf.
This elevator appeared to be specially designed for transporting goods and went straight down to the fourth underground level.
He pressed the button, and the elevator doors slowly opened, releasing a pungent odor of blood that wafted out—the elevator cabin was almost entirely covered in bloodstains.
"Could the cargo mentioned on the spreadsheet actually refer to the company’s security guards? Is he treating the guards as goods and distributing them to various locations?"
Han Fei had thought that this company was merely an intermediary, but it turned out they also handled the "raw material" processing. From the information now at hand, this Underworld Company’s scope of business was extensive, offering human resource services and trading various goods centered on "humans."
As Han Fei hesitated about whether to enter the cargo elevator, the doors suddenly closed on their own, and the numbers on the display screen began to change—indicating that the elevator was moving downward.
"Did someone press the button for the fourth underground level?"
After the elevator reached the fourth underground level and stayed there for a while, it began to rise slowly again.
Seeing this, Han Fei immediately opened the Spiritual Altar and called out all his neighbors.
"Get ready! Someone’s coming up from the fourth underground level!"
