Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Three Sentences to Take Down a Mall (Third Update, Seeking Monthly Pass)

In a typical horror game, when a player starts out as a department store clerk, they usually encounter all sorts of bizarre customers in the store and experience various terrifying events. After being scared half to death and pressured by the threat of death, they have no choice but to collect clues and try to discover the truth.

They always explore carefully, struggling through one desperate mystery after another.

Initially, Han Fei found himself in the same predicament, but ordinary players and Deep World players are different after all.

In just one week, Han Fei had run the department store into a state where it could hardly operate normally.

Indeed, he encountered many terrifying Ghosts and Monsters, but now most of those terrifying creatures had crawled into his jar and stood by his side.

A player who starts as a clerk, rising to become a gang leader in a horror survival game and even possessing power to turn the tide, might seem improbable. But for it to happen to Han Fei somehow felt natural.

In the pouring rain, Han Fei dug up incriminating evidence against Boss Gu, and for the first time, he showed a smile, surrounded by his brothers.

The followers of Brother Snake were initially dissatisfied, but by now they had been conquered by Han Fei’s charismatic Personality.

"Who would have thought that the widely known philanthropist Boss Gu was so filthy and despicable in secret? I even donated to his foundation before."

"He has the heart of a Beast!"

"Han Fei, we’ve found the evidence. What should we do next?" The male attendant was thoroughly convinced by Han Fei, and he stood by Han Fei’s side, ready to assist him just as he had done for Brother Snake.

"When the wall falls, everyone pushes, and when the drum is broken, everyone strikes. Spreading the word about the deeds of Boss Gu as quickly as possible. Once it gains enough influence, we will present the evidence. By then, we won’t need to take action—the enraged crowd will storm into Shahe Origin," Han Fei said, dressed in black and holding an umbrella, resembling a young version of the godfather from the movies.

"How long do we have to wait?"

"It’s best to wait until Ten Fingers and Boss Gu have a fallout." Han Fei was ambitious; he planned to severely weaken Ten Fingers in the Shrine Memory World, preparing for his next move to take over the Department Store in the Deep World.

A clerk who doesn’t want to be a department store boss isn’t a good Building Chief. Han Fei wanted any building that didn’t exist in the Death Building Area.

After a night of busyness, dawn was approaching, and Han Fei prepared to leave with Brother Snake’s subordinates as quickly as possible.

With an umbrella in hand, he directed everyone to clean the scene meticulously, not overlooking any detail. His professional forensic-level guidance once again shocked Brother Snake’s men.

This man before them must have committed major crimes! The reason he hadn’t been caught was that he never left any evidence behind.

Brother Snake’s men were efficient, and Han Fei found them quite comfortable to use. He was even starting to enjoy it.

After dealing with the scene, Han Fei and the others returned to the West City District. He initially intended to send the old lady home, but she clung to the "truth" like it was her own grandchild and refused to leave.

Han Fei was known for being understanding and reasonable. He not only kept the old lady by his side but also had Brother Snake’s men take special care of her.

Exposing Boss Gu’s true colors was left to his underlings, while Han Fei himself, after a hearty meal, went into a private room to catch up on sleep.

If he didn’t rest for a long time, his mood value would decrease, and his physical condition would deteriorate.

Placing the Blood-colored Paperman beside his pillow as an early warning system, Han Fei wrapped himself in the blanket and quickly fell asleep.

The male attendant, still caring for the old lady, noticed Han Fei sleeping and began to tread carefully: "Old lady, if you need anything, just call me. I’ll be right next door."

After seeing the old lady also fall asleep, the attendant got up, glanced at the sleeping Han Fei, and accidentally spotted the animated Paperman.

Rubbing his eyes, the servant didn’t dare ask more and slowly left the room: "No wonder he’s called the Midnight Butcher; even his figurines are different from others."

The night had passed, but the light still couldn’t pierce through the thick clouds, and the heavy rain continued incessantly.

Around eight in the morning, Han Fei’s phone suddenly rang, awakening him from his Dream; it was his boss calling.

A normal wage slave might worry their boss would ask them to work overtime. Han Fei’s first thought was whether the collapse of the department store had been exposed.

Han Fei had screwed over his boss, and now, looking at the incoming call display, he hesitated somewhat.

"Forget it, I’ll just pin everything on Ten Fingers. They did enter the department store last night, after all."

Answering the call, Han Fei put on a sound of extreme weakness: "Boss, is something wrong?"

"How was the store last night?"

"Those two guys with tattoos wanted to kill me, so I could only run, just keep running!"

"What happened to the Secondhand Store? Did they get in?" Boss Gu sounded a bit anxious.

"I don’t know. They wanted to kill me, so I had to run outside the store, and right now, I’m still hiding out here." Han Fei hugged the blanket tighter: "I feel so cold right now; my clothes are soaked through, and I can’t hold out much longer."

"Come to the hospital right away! Tell me everything that happened last night!" It seemed Boss Gu had some reason that prevented him from leaving the hospital.

"Now? I’m afraid I..."

"Your mother is also in the hospital. The doctor came to see me just now and said your mother’s illness has worsened. They asked me to help notify the family members." Boss Gu’s every sentence conveyed concern, but Han Fei heard a threat in his words.

"Fine, I’ll come over now." After hanging up the phone, Han Fei expressionlessly took off Brother Snake’s coat and put his store uniform back on.

Hearing the noise, a male waiter came in: "Aren’t you going to sleep a bit longer?"

"I can’t sleep soundly knowing that Brother Snake hasn’t come back yet." Han Fei put away the Paperman and handed a package filled with various photos to the male waiter: "I’m going to see what Boss Gu has to say. Hide this package well and don’t let anyone find it."

"You’ve worked hard." The male waiter felt Han Fei valued loyalty and was worth befriending: "By the way, I haven’t formally introduced myself yet."

"Saving people is more important, we’ll talk when I get back." After getting ready, Han Fei hastily left.

The male waiter looked at Han Fei disappearing into the rain and murmured to himself: "He doesn’t even know my name yet..."

After daybreak, the outside was less dangerous, and Han Fei took a taxi to People’s Hospital.

Without even using an umbrella, Han Fei got out of the car and rushed through the rain straight to the Master of Shrine’s mother’s hospital room.

Drenched in rain, Han Fei reached the door of the hospital room and glanced inside.

The Master of Shrine’s mother had gotten even weaker. In just a few days not seeing her, she had lost a lot of weight.

"Don’t worry, auntie will get better." A woman’s voice sounded in Han Fei’s ear. He turned around blankly and saw Lin Lu, dressed in a nurse’s uniform, standing right behind him!

"Why are you here? Leave quickly!" When Han Fei saw Lin Lu, he immediately grabbed her and entered the emergency exit.

"I resigned from Shahe Hospital. Today is my first day working here." Lin Lu didn’t resist; she just felt a bit sentimental: "I had no idea your mother was suffering from such a serious illness. You’ve really had a hard time. From now on, you focus on your work, and I will do my best to take care of auntie."

"You shouldn’t be here." Han Fei stared into Lin Lu’s eyes: "I’ll give you money, take a month off. No, three weeks should be enough."

"I finally got this job, and People’s Hospital is much more legitimate than that private Shahe Hospital..."

"Listen to me, don’t come to work for these three weeks." Han Fei tightened his grip on Lin Lu’s hand: "Okay?"

Seeing how serious Han Fei was, Lin Lu hesitated for a long time and then nodded.

"Also, never tell your name to a stranger." Han Fei wanted to entrust her with more, but his phone vibrated at that moment. Worse still, several footsteps sounded in the corridor: "You should leave here as fast as you can."

Holding his phone, Han Fei voluntarily walked out of the emergency exit and saw Boss Gu, who was also on his phone.

His face was dark, standing amongst four bodyguards.

"Why did you only just get here?"

"I’m not feeling too well." Han Fei leaned against the wall, weakly looking at Boss Gu: "How is my mother doing?"

"The doctor just went in to do an examination. You wait here for the results. Meanwhile, tell me what happened in the department store last night." Boss Gu was expressionless, seemingly suppressing the anger in his heart.

Han Fei described the Chef’s and Dwarf’s physical characteristics to the Boss, pinning all the events on the Beast.

As Boss Gu had always been suspicious of the Beast, Han Fei’s words confirmed his suspicions.

"Them again! Where on earth did these people come from? How do they know the secret of the Shrine?" Boss Gu’s gaze was icy. He glanced at the feeble Han Fei and, feigning concern, urged Han Fei to take care of himself before heading downstairs.

"The Shrine needs a Sacrificial Offering. They all want to fulfill the Shrine’s demands, but I want to completely destroy the Shrine." Han Fei sat on the hospital corridor floor. It didn’t take long before the door to the hospital room opened, and two doctors emerged.

"Doctors, how is my mother’s condition?"

"It has worsened again. It’s difficult to even perform surgery now. You have to be prepared mentally," one of the doctors said.

"Why did it suddenly worsen?"

"It’s hard to explain to you." The doctors were about to leave, but Han Fei blocked their path.

"Doctor, I want to ask you one last question. How long can my mother hold on?"

"About a week, I guess." The two doctors patted Han Fei on the shoulder and left.

The entire interaction was brief. The doctors said only three sentences, but those three sentences made Han Fei resolute.

"The Master of Shrine’s biggest regret was his mother’s death, which has already happened. Even if I managed to gather enough for the surgery, it’s highly likely that nothing would change."

"To make up for the Master of Shrine’s regret, I have to take control of the Shrine within seven days, utterly destroy the Memory World, and keep this world forever fixed before his mother’s death!"
