Chapter 393: Chapter 393: The New Death Building Manager

Upgrading could not heal the physical wounds of Han Fei, but when he allocated all his Free Attribute Points to Physical Strength, the healing speed of his wounds visibly accelerated.

Including the Physical Strength point provided by the "Undying" title, Han Fei’s Physical Strength value had now reached twenty-four.

In "Perfect Life," it was extremely difficult to enhance a player’s own attributes; each point was extremely precious. Han Fei was the only player to have this attribute panel at level fifteen.

Speed, strength, resilience, and self-healing ability all improved, and now Han Fei’s physical condition was so enhanced it was somewhat exaggerated.

"Player ID0000, please note! The original main quest required disrupting the Soul-returning Ceremony, but since you exceeded the task and killed the Death Building Manager Butterfly, the Death Building has lost its Manager! The Death Building Manager quest is now open for you!"

"Death Building Manager Quest (Grade E): Please find the lost shrine and God Statue in the Death Building within seven days, earn the recognition of the Memory Fragments within the God Statue, and become the new Death Building Manager!"

"Upon completing this task, your Talent Ability and Manager Ability will be enhanced!"

"Player ID0000, please note! You have successfully activated the Death Building Map! The title of Protector God of Yimin Street has been upgraded! The friendliness level of all ghosts and monsters cursed with a Death Curse on Yimin Street has increased by one!"

"Having slain Butterfly and become the most terrifying entity in this region, you can now attempt to open the shrine in this area! If you are mad enough, you can also establish your own shrine."

"Player ID0000, please note! Your personal record has been updated!"

"Employed as a security guard at the Death Building, during the probation period the number of owners decreased by ninety percent, and the usable area of the community decreased by ninety percent."

"After taking on many jobs, you are gradually maturing, and you may have realized that your personality might not be well-suited to the service industry."

Having read all the notifications sent by the system, Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief, only after confirming the death of Butterfly could he feel at ease.

As for the monster that emerged from the Black Cocoon underneath the Death Building, that was a matter for another time.

The exit button was now lit up, and Han Fei was invigorated, but he wasn’t in a hurry to exit the game; he still had many things to do.

Taking out the phone left to him by Yinghuo, Han Fei compared the group chat nicknames and began to tally the surviving owners within the Death Building.

Most members of the Death Building Owner Rights Protection Mutual Assistance Group had heeded Han Fei’s warnings and hidden ahead of time; many were injured, but very few were utterly destroyed.

"The Death Building has been severely damaged; I’m afraid rebuilding this place will be a hassle for everyone."

With Spider and Zhuang Wen both present, Han Fei acted with borrowed authority, and no one dared to contradict him.

A chaotic battle had taken place in the Death Building. First, the Soul of Evil controlled the Old Ghost to kill indiscriminately, then Gesheng cleared the area in a frenzy, followed by Butterfly triggering all the Death Curses. Any Fierce Ghost that survived these three rounds must have had some special abilities.

Han Fei made a quick tally; apart from the strongest Building-jumping Ghost, Zhuang Wen, there were also three Large-scaled Grudges that survived among the original residents of the Death Building.

The Female Live-streamer in the Red Skirt, the combined entity of all members of the Yinghuo Group Chat, and a Soul Chaser whose face was covered in scars.

While other Soul Chasers all leaped into the altar to wash off the bloodstains on them, this Soul Chaser stayed at a distance, watching Han Fei and Feng Ziyu. It seemed he was the game tester who had massacred the entire community several years ago.

However, after being tormented by Butterfly, his appearance had changed completely. He was no longer human but had become a Monster who had committed numerous blood debts.

"When Butterfly sent you to claim my soul, thank you for the warning." Protected by the residents of Happiness Residential Community, Han Fei approached the other, "Can you tell me your name?"

The scar-faced Soul Chaser looked at the unconscious Feng Ziyu, shaking his head, "I’ve forgotten everything from the past. Now that you’ve killed Butterfly, you are the new Manager of the Death Building. I will help you guard the altar underneath the Death Building and atone for my past sins."

Finally, the Soul Chaser heaved a sigh, apologized to Feng Ziyu, and then turned and jumped into the deepest altar of the Death Building.

The three Large-scaled Grudges all had good relations with Han Fei, and the other owners dared not do anything improper toward Han Fei.

The Merchant living in Building No. 1 also luckily escaped; he lost an arm and a leg, but even so, he still dragged a whole box of Paper Money and Joss Paper with his remaining arm. Han Fei felt that his survival was entirely due to the potential unleashed by money.

Next to the Merchant were the Oiran and the two security guards from Building No. 1, the Oiran had initially contacted Han Fei simply to enter Building No. 4 and retrieve an item from a room, but now, let alone the item, the room itself was gone.

The two security guards no longer dared approach Han Fei carelessly. Their eyes showed a mix of admiration and awe toward Han Fei; reaching this level as a security guard was indeed a death without regrets.

The old order had been shattered, and a new order was beginning to establish.

The powerful Grudges returned to their rooms, and those left beside Han Fei were some weaker attachments, such as the Oiran Security Guard, a woman who had found her child, and Feng Ziyu’s unlucky neighbor.

Just now, Feng Ziyu’s neighbor also wanted to jump into the light screen and leave, but his physical body in reality had entirely died, and he couldn’t return.

These individuals had no special abilities, but it was precisely because of their weakness that they retained human rationality and emotions. Han Fei couldn’t always stay in the Deep World. The reconstruction work of the Death Building was just the right task for them to assist with.

"The Deep World is filled with fierce ghosts and terrifying monsters. It would be difficult for you to survive after leaving, so why not stay here for now?"

Han Fei was very kind to his own people, utterly different from those ruthless bosses in reality—he directly allocated houses to each individual, three suites per person, provided they cleaned the assigned houses thoroughly.

After arranging tasks for everyone, Han Fei also reminded the residents of the Happiness Residential Community to take care of Feng Ziyu, who was still unconscious.

This former employee of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical, who had initially planned to conquer the "Perfect Life" game with Han Fei, had now become a lonely soul in the Deep World, unable to "log out" ever again.

Watching Han Fei systematically handle various matters, Spider concealed a trace of admiration in his eyes; he held Han Fei in high regard.

Not only because Han Fei had slain Butterfly, but also because Han Fei had forged the Rebirth Saber in Beast Alley and became the last "Midnight" Butcher.

Spider pinned his hopes on Han Fei, feeling that some tasks he himself couldn’t achieve, Han Fei would surely manage in the future.

Once Han Fei finished all his tasks, Spider restrained his aura and approached him. He looked ordinary, but the eight shadows trailing behind him were somewhat terrifying.

"I never imagined that the scene Butterfly saw in the nightmare would actually come true. I thought there was no one in this world who could defeat him."

"Including you, there are now three people in this world who have defeated Butterfly." Han Fei dared not get too close to Spider, whose power was extremely terrifying. If Spider made a move on him, he wouldn’t even have time to exit the game.

"You don’t have to be nervous, I can’t easily use my abilities." Spider flicked his blood-red spider silk with a finger. "I knew that negative emotions and dark energy had no effect on Butterfly, so I used guilt, blame, and my own remorse, weaving them into this blood-red spider silk, which is the only way Butterfly could not escape."

"Had you planned well in advance to hide inside the amulet? Then who did I meet in Beast Alley?"

"That was my heart." Spider smiled faintly. "How could I deceive Butterfly without digging out my heart?"

"What are your plans next? Will you continue to stay in Beast Alley?" Having finally encountered a stable powerhouse, Han Fei switched on his master-level acting talent in his brain and recalled all the psychology books he had read, prepared to go to any lengths to keep Spider around.

"My heart will remain in Beast Alley atoning." Spider didn’t give Han Fei a chance to speak, silently gazing at the Rebirth Saber. "This world is far more complex than we imagined, I don’t know what path you’ve chosen for yourself. I once met an old man who said he wanted to redeem everyone, but in reality, he was only redeeming himself. I hope you won’t follow his old path, because that path has already been proven to be a dead end."

Spider suddenly shut his mouth mid-sentence, seemingly because he had touched upon an unspeakable existence.

After a long time, Spider spoke again. "The reason why this area is relatively safe is due to the black cocoon beneath the Death Building and the black fog enveloping it. Now that the fog has dissipated, you need to be extra cautious."

"This area is relatively safe?" Han Fei didn’t even know how to respond; to reach here, he had practically passed through a life-and-death ordeal.

"Yes, so it’s best not to stay in one place for too long. If you don’t explore deeper into the darkness, the darkness will consume you." Spider took another amulet out of his pocket, which looked identical to the previous one but was woven from blood silk. "If you find yourself in another life-threatening situation, you can open it."

As Han Fei touched the amulet, the system notification rang in his mind.

"Player number 0000 please pay attention! You have successfully acquired a one-time E-level item—Spider’s Amulet."

"Spider’s Amulet (E-level): Only by opening it will you know what’s inside."

"Thank you." Han Fei secured the amulet, wanting to say more, but when he shifted his gaze from the amulet, Spider had already walked away.

"It seems he doesn’t plan on hiding inside the amulet this time."

Han Fei felt somewhat regretful; Spider was too clever, such a "person" usually had their own plans.

After watching Spider leave, Han Fei spent a long time with the neighbors in the Happiness Residential Community, then he used the Soul-returning on Zhuang Ren.

After sending Zhuang Ren off, Han Fei also found a corner inside the Death Building and chose to exit the game.

The city, perpetually shrouded in darkness, was tinged with blood-red, and Han Fei suddenly realized that the game exit interface resembled the blood-red scene from Kuangxiao’s memories.

As his consciousness ascended, in the last moment of disconnecting from the game, Han Fei saw, not far from the Death Building, a pair of cold eyes watching him, the figure holding a damaged shrine, within which rested an old man’s head.

"Is it Gesheng?"

The world spun, and once Han Fei opened his eyes again, he was back in reality. He was just about to remove his gaming helmet when a sudden intense pain struck the back of his head and his heart thumped wildly, as if he were about to have a heart attack.

Covering his chest, Han Fei faintly heard laughter, and it took a long while before he returned to normal.
