Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Cardiac and Respiratory Arrest! (5000 Requests for Monthly Tickets)

Han Fei had saved the video footage shot by Jin Jun, and he repeatedly urged Jin Jun to play games seriously after he went back, exercise more during his spare time, and prioritize speed over muscle training — it was crucial to run fast.

Jin Jun was one of the most famous paparazzi in Xinhu. Celebrities wanted to hit him upon seeing him, and most of the fans saw him as a plague rat, yet nobody had ever shown him such concern before.

"Boss, don’t worry, I’ll start focusing on speed training once I get back."

"Good," If Han Fei didn’t help Jin Jun, he might one day find himself entangled by something terrible and die an unclear death.

Supporting Jin Jun, Han Fei led him downstairs.

After they left the safety passage, Han Fei directly approached the theater staff.

Before the staff could ask why Han Fei was there, Han Fei took control and began questioning the staff member.

Perhaps it was because he had spent too much time in the Deep World, or because of too much bloodshed, but Han Fei’s presence, when not deliberately suppressed, made ordinary people feel uneasy just by being near him.

The staff member didn’t know why he was honestly answering Han Fei’s questions, making it seem as though he was the one who had sneaked into the opera house on its closed day.

After confirming that the staff member had nothing to do with the shadow in the props room, Han Fei finally revealed his identity and stated his purpose.

"Can you assure me that no actors have come today? Can you take me to check the surveillance?"

"Okay then." The words from Han Fei made the staff uncertain. He led the way, occasionally looking back at Han Fei.

The biggest dark horse of this year’s film festival was standing right behind him, having secured the Best Supporting Actor award with just two films.

According to the news, wherever this actor appeared, mayhem ensnared—almost as if he was the illegitimate child of the God of Death.

Thinking of Han Fei’s "resume" left on the Xinhu Police’s website, the staff grew even more terrified: "Could it be that a murder really occurred in the theater? Is a corpse hidden somewhere here? How am I supposed to work the night shift?"

The more the opera house staffer thought about it, the more scared he became, and he began cooperating actively with Han Fei.

The group reached the surveillance room, wanting to check the footage, but discovered that all of today’s recordings had been deleted.

"How is this possible?" Initially the staff had doubts, but now he was completely panicked.

"Looks like it’s the work of a professional." Han Fei grew curious about the individual. He tried to search for clues but was at a loss as the scene had been thoroughly cleaned, leaving nothing useful behind: "Would a normal actor be so skilled in cleaning up a crime scene?"

Jin Jun and the staff member both looked towards Han Fei, uncertain whether they should respond or not.

"This guy who danced wildly in front of the mirror, chasing acting and live feedback, is a professional opera actor, fitting the personality type. He acts decisively, with strong execution skills, taking care of any details that might expose him in advance—this also fits the other criteria mentioned by ’Little White Shoes.’ Moreover, he seems to also know some hypnotic techniques, which could make Jin Jun lose himself." Han Fei felt that this Qiangwei, was nine times out of ten, number 019: "After sunrise, I want to see his performance and have a chat with him myself."

With no leads gathered, Han Fei prepared to leave with Jin Jun, but the nervous staffer started pleading for Han Fei to stay—after all, nobody wants to discover an unexpected corpse in a room during their nighttime shift.

Han Fei was quite honorable, leaving his phone number with the staff member so that he could be contacted immediately if anything happened.

After leaving the opera house, Han Fei sent Jin Jun home before returning to his own residential community.

It was already late, yet many reporters had not left. It took tremendous effort for Han Fei to successfully make it back to his home.

"These people are really enthusiastic, Director Jiang won’t have to worry about me being lonely anymore."

After pulling the curtains and closing the windows, Han Fei sat down in front of his computer to analyze the murder case.

Around eleven o’clock, he received a call from Huang Ying.

"Han Fei, after midnight tonight, ’Perfect Life’s’ first major event will be over. Have you found any reliable players on your side?"

"I now have three candidates," Han Fei sent the files of Bai Xian, Jin Jun, and Liuli Cat to Huang Ying.

"That’s still one short. Why don’t you create a small account here?"

"I’m afraid I can’t." Han Fei recalled the scene when Zhuang Ren created his account, the tutorial Goddess had turned into a bloody ghost before Zhuang Ren’s eyes, and Zhuang Ren had said he saw something extremely terrifying.

"After the event ends, the Smart Brain will have a non-stop automatic update for twelve hours, and once the update is over, players can build their own communities," Huang Ying was somewhat worried, "Although building one’s own community is very difficult and meets many stringent requirements, for those top gaming studios and super-large gaming guilds, it’s relatively easy. They must have prepared everything needed and are vying for the title of the top ten communities."

"So we have twelve hours left?"

"Yes, this top ten community is very important, some advertisers are even willing to spend big money to buy the naming rights to the top ten communities. Just think about the terrifying player base of ’Perfect Life,’ you can probably guess how much naming fees would be?"

"I will confirm the last candidate as soon as possible." Han Fei discussed some details with Huang Ying, then he called Aunt Li.

In fact, Han Fei had other candidates, such as Yantang and Tie Nan, but comparatively speaking, Aunt Li was the most reliable, especially since her husband was still in the Deep World and Han Fei had saved her life twice.

Soon, the call connected, and a man’s voice came through the phone.

"Are you Han Fei? Thank you for taking my mom to the hospital! It hasn’t been easy for her to raise me alone, and if something had really happened to her, I would probably regret it for my whole life."

"Are you Aunt Li’s son?"

"Yes, I just got back to Xinhu that afternoon. The doctor said you took my mom to the hospital and even advanced the medical fees. When my mom is discharged tomorrow, could I invite you to a meal? My mom also really wants to see you again and thank you in person." Aunt Li’s son was very polite, his words filled with gratitude towards Han Fei.

"It just so happens that I need to see Aunt Li about something tomorrow, how about we meet tomorrow morning?"

"Okay, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Han Fei thought it over carefully again. Aunt Li’s son worked at Deep Space Technology. Despite his young age, he had already become a high-level executive of the branch office and, reportedly, would soon be transferred back to headquarters.

"He’s a good and filial son."

Glancing at the time, Han Fei lay down in the game box.

Bathed in blood-red light, Han Fei realized that his login speed to the game had indeed slowed down a bit, likely due to the effects of summoning Kuangxiao.

Carefully verifying that unspeakable location, Han Fei now dared not look directly for fear of drawing its attention.

Opening his eyes, the pain spreading throughout his body made him let out a sound involuntarily.

Just a few seconds later, his room’s door was opened, and several figures appeared at the doorway.

"Don’t move around, just rest well for a while."

"Does it still hurt? I’ve made some new meat."

Han Fei looked at his neighbors, and though his body still hurt greatly, his heart felt warm.

"Don’t worry, I’m recovering very well," Han Fei had just finished speaking when another burst of pain shot through his mind. The aftermath of summoning Kuangxiao was too great; that madman had drained Han Fei’s last bit of potential just to strike a blow that could kill hatred.

Thinking about it now, Han Fei felt the deaths of the ten fingers were truly worth it. So many people had tried their hardest to take him down completely.

Checking his phone for Yinghuo, Han Fei asked in the Death Building Owners’ group chat about anything that might have happened in the building since he left last night.

Initially, he just asked out of curiosity, but Ha Ha’s response was shockingly unexpected — there was a wandering soul like Bai Xian in the Plastic Surgery Hospital!

Reportedly, shortly after Han Fei went offline last night, the hatred in the Plastic Surgery Hospital rushed to the White Orphanage to inspect it, but just as the hatred left, a problem occurred in the deepest shrine of the hospital.

Zhuang Wen, wearing the Desire Coat, went to inspect it personally, only to find that it seemed a wandering soul had accidentally touched the shrine.

According to Zhuang Wen’s description, the wandering soul that touched the shrine must have been Shen Luo.

As for how he managed to get to the Plastic Surgery Hospital Shrine step by step, nobody could clarify.

After all, the shrine was one of the three objects most valued by the Hatred, and it was also the most dangerous place in the entire hospital area. To get there, one had to pass through the most terrifying and horrifying deadlocks.

Normal people would run towards safety, but that player charged headlong into the dragon’s den, rushing into the shrine guarded by the three entities of Hatred.

More crucially, just when Han Fei destroyed the White Orphanage, taking away part of the little white shoes, the Hatred might have thought Butterfly was making her move, so they left the Plastic Surgery Hospital, which, ironically, allowed that player to succeed.

"Shen Luo is still alive? How did he step by step get there? Does he have a map?"

Han Fei wasn’t sure how Shen Luo managed it; in fact, even with a map, it was very difficult to find the shrine hidden in the deepest part of the Plastic Surgery Hospital.

"True to the saying, ’A golden boy will always shine bright,’ he can make great strides even in the Deep World. He is truly talented." Han Fei felt that Shen Luo could team up with Jin Jun. Together, they could probably explore straight to the end of the Deep World, provided, of course, they were lucky enough to survive.

After asking about Shen Luo, Han Fei had Bai Sinian check on the Big Evil’s situation. The Curse had been half-suppressed, and it was estimated that in a few days, Big Evil would be able to run amok again.

"My wounds are not yet healed; I’ll just stay in Happiness Residential Community for now." Eyeing the Attribute Panel for a while, Han Fei’s attention was caught by the Soul-summoning Talent: "Jin Jun’s Talent is Soul Returner which perfectly complements my Soul-returning Talent. As long as he isn’t beaten into soul scattering, he should be very hard to kill. If his strength is sufficient, he could even undertake high difficulty tasks that ordinary people would not dare touch. Maybe he could help me out in the Deep World. It would really be a waste not to make good use of such a great Talent."

Han Fei’s team in the Shallow World was already taking shape, and as one of the "Top Five Giants," Jin Jun could not afford to fall behind.

After hesitating for a moment, Han Fei went to the corridor and softly muttered the two words, ’soul summoning.’

The Attribute Panel transformed into Ghost Gate, and Han Fei softly called out Jin Jun’s name.

He didn’t think of anything else, nor did he use the Soul-guiding Bell; he merely said Jin Jun’s name out simply.

Almost as soon as his words fell, a wandering soul seemed to be drawn by some force through the Ghost Gate and landed right in front of Han Fei.

The meeting was too sudden.

Stunned from the fall, Jin Jun looked at Han Fei who hadn’t even had time to don his mask, and they locked eyes, both unable to react.

"Boss?" Jin Jun focused all his attention on Han Fei and did not notice the Blood Gate slowly closing behind him.

"First answer me a question, what’s your Luck Value?"

"One, what’s up?"

"Then it’s nothing." Han Fei had never experienced such a smooth soul summoning before. It didn’t even feel like he was performing a soul summoning; rather, it seemed like Jin Jun was forcefully squeezing himself into the Underworld.

’Heaven has a road but you choose not to take it; Hell has no gates, yet you break in,’ that must be about Jin Jun.

"Soul Summoner and Soul-summoning Talent match, Supernatural Physique, Luck Value one—this is a bit outrageous." Han Fei helped Jin Jun up: "This is the Hidden Map of ’Perfect Life,’ it should help you train your courage. Also, didn’t you tell me your Talent is Explorer? Almost no other players are in this Hidden Map, you can quickly increase your Exploration Value here, maximizing your Explorer Talent."

"This is a Hidden Map?" Jin Jun looked around: "No wonder the atmosphere is different from ordinary maps. I heard Hidden Maps are extremely rare, and every piece of such maps is considered a grand secret by those who discover them. Boss, I haven’t been moved like this in a long time for you sharing this with me."

"Don’t be too happy yet, this Hidden Map is very eerie and extremely dangerous; you must be cautious." Han Fei was worried that Jin Jun couldn’t handle the stress and gave him a warning beforehand.

"What danger could there be?"

Jin Jun got up from the ground, looked out through a window in the hallway, and saw a city enveloped in darkness that seemed to have no end.

"My Explorer Talent shows these maps have not been explored yet; they all can provide me with Exploration Value! This place is simply Heaven for me!" Jin Jun cried out excitedly.

"Then go explore quickly, and remember, never wander out of the fog. I also have tasks to do." Following his instructions, Han Fei then went to the fifth floor and entered Xu Qin’s room.

Once his injuries healed, he planned to explore the Plastic Surgery Hospital, so he had to prepare more meat.

"The boss saved my life twice and shared the hidden map with me. Was I a world-saver in my past life? Why did I meet such a good person?" Jin Jun opened each room door along the hallway, listening to the continuous activation of the explorer’s talent. Watching his exploration value soar, he grinned, "Has the boss not been in these rooms either, or did he leave them specially for me?"

Floor by floor, Jin Jun discovered that the door on the second floor was actually locked, so he knocked softly on the door.

Soon, the door opened, and the warm light fell on Jin Jun, revealing an extremely kind old lady at the door.

"Are you the new tenant?"

"You could say that."

"It’s not safe outside, come in and rest for a while, and have a bowl of hot porridge." Meng Shi invited Jin Jun into the house, decorated in the style of several decades ago, nostalgically and comfortably.

Shortly after, Meng Shi brought out the freshly cooked porridge.

Looking at the steaming porridge, Jin Jun felt everything in front of him was incredibly healing, "The boss is just too worried. Although the overall style of this hidden map is a bit terrifying, there is humanity within the fear, and shocks filled with the warmth of the mortal world."

Having the hot porridge warmed his stomach and soothed his body and mind.

"Old lady, thank you for the porridge. I have some things to handle, but I’ll come back to see you after I’m done." Jin Jun felt particularly relaxed in this world where no one knew he was a paparazzo, and he could make friends and live like a normal person.

"You’re going out so late?" Meng Shi came out with a soup spoon, her eyes full of worry.

"There won’t be any trouble," Jin Jun smiled. He was about to leave when a child ran out of the bedroom, holding a bowl of cooled rice high, seemingly ready to throw it on the ground.

"I refuse to eat from..."

The boy’s words were cut short as Jin Jun snatched the bowl from him, "No picky eating, young man! Your grandmother has it hard enough; you need to learn to be considerate of her."

Setting the bowl down on the table, Jin Jun smiled at the old lady again before stepping out of the door.

"Doing good deeds just feels right. Tonight I’m going all out! I’ll run around this whole map!"

With his spirits lifted, Jin Jun rushed out of Happiness Residential Community, surrounded by a thick fog, barely able to see the buildings around him, he just ran straight ahead.

Watching his explorer value skyrocket, Jin Jun seemed to finally find the fun in this game.

"My very own map! No one here to compete for exploration value with me anymore. From now on, I’ll be the Exploration King!"

Every time the exploration value reached a certain level, the explorer’s talent brought Jin Jun some rewards, including slightly increasing his physical strength.

Running down the deserted street with a smile on his face, Jin Jun soon found himself in front of a strange school.

"Yimin Private Academy? Why do I get four times the exploration value just from discovering this place?" Jin Jun clung to the school gate looking inside, but the fog was too thick to see clearly.

"Young man, get down! Don’t cling to the gate!" An elderly voice came from behind, but Jin Jun ignored it, completely captivated by the fourfold exploration value.

"You can’t just go inside the school! Come down from there!" The footsteps of the elderly man approached from behind, "I have to tell you, this school is rumored to be haunted. It’s best if you leave right away."

"Leave? And miss four times the exploration value?" Jin Jun didn’t take it seriously at all; he jumped down from the iron gate, "Don’t even mention rumors of hauntings. Even if this school really is haunted, I must go in. No one can stop me."

A foul smell wafted over, and Jin Jun turned to look at the old man.

On the security guard, a Ghost Mountain was piled up!

Numerous limbs crawled over his face and body, all the bloody and blurred faces staring at Jin Jun.

His heart skipped a beat!
