Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Heaven is About to Place a Great Responsibility on This Man (Vote for Monthly Tickets 4000)
In a room on the fifth floor of the Happiness Residential Community, Han Fei stood in the kitchen, trying to elevate his cooking skills level, while Xu Qin leaned against the door frame, guiding him from behind.
They would occasionally exchange a few words, discussing their views on different types of meat, and then taste the meat dishes they had made together.
The small kitchen did not feel crowded at this moment but instead brought people closer together; they were standing very near each other.
The faint aroma of meat drifted into their nostrils, and Han Fei’s index finger twitched—he had grown increasingly fond of eating meat.
"Building Chief! Can I come in? Someone is looking for you outside!"
The voice of Yinglong suddenly came from outside the door, and Han Fei put the meat dish he had made into the Item Bar before rushing to the living room entrance, "Who’s looking for me? What’s happened?"
"The old man from Yimin Private Academy is here, and he’s brought someone with him," said Yinglong, leading Han Fei downstairs. They saw the Security Guard covered in ghosts from a distance.
"Old man, what brings you to visit our place tonight?" Han Fei greeted the Security Guard.
"I was just strolling at the school gate and saw a man trying to climb over the gate late at night, as if he intended to steal something. So I advised him a bit, but who would’ve thought he’d fall off the gate and knock himself out, and no matter how much I called him, he wouldn’t wake up." The Security Guard was a kind soul; despite his age, he carried Jin Jun on his back, unaware that countless ghosts and monsters were pressing down on Jin Jun.
"He looked unfamiliar to me, so I carried him over to ask around, to see if he’s a new resident of your community." The Security Guard grabbed Jin Jun with both hands, dragging him out from the ghosts’ limbs and placing him on the ground.
"He is indeed from around here, sorry to trouble you," Han Fei said with a bitter smile. He felt that Jin Jun had only just left his house, and now he had been brought back.
"So he’s a new resident, then it’s alright; we’re all neighbors here. When he wakes up, tell him that if he wants to visit the school, I can take him on a tour, no need to climb over the walls." The old man clasped his hands behind his back, nodding in satisfaction, "It’s good, I feel like our area is becoming livelier."
Han Fei touched Jin Jun to check his attributes; he had taken the path of fully increasing his physical strength, which was quite suitable for the Pathfinder Talent.
"I have high hopes for you; you can’t just fall like this—there’s a vast unknown area still waiting for you to explore," Han Fei pressed his hand on Jin Jun’s head, using his Word Spirit ability, letting curse-filled words seep into Jin Jun’s body.
"You have strong mental resilience and won’t easily lose consciousness."
"You fear everything, yet you also have a resolute heart, constantly running towards the distance."
"You have no death in your dictionary, and you will never stop moving."
After using his Word Spirit ability three times, Jin Jun finally slowly opened his eyes.
He looked around in a daze, and the Security Guard looked at him with the kindest expression possible, "Are you awake?"
One after another, ghostly faces emerged from deformed limbs, encircling Jin Jun. It was at this moment that Jin Jun realized how blissful unconsciousness had been.
Screams pierced the night sky and fog as Jin Jun virtually "catapulted" from the ground and took off running into the distance.
"What are you afraid of? If you want to go to school, I can take you! Young man, you should be on the right path!" The Security Guard chased after Jin Jun, seeming to want to give him advice.
As they ran out of the Happiness Residential Community, Han Fei shook his head, "The old man is actually quite nice, just too enthusiastic."
The Security Guard was the kindest person at Yimin Private Academy; even the ghosts and monsters couldn’t bear to harm him. They all climbed onto his body, covering his eyes and doing everything possible to deceive him into feeling that he was still alive and well.
"This young man is quite to my taste; I’ll go and escort him," Li Zai from the second building, having sniffed out the scent of misfortune, followed the Security Guard and dashed out.
Han Fei had to stay online for three hours before he could log off, and he originally planned to use that time to improve his culinary skills, but seeing how popular Jin Jun was, he thought it would be better to follow.
Jin Jun’s talent was a perfect match for him, and such a talent couldn’t afford to have any accidents.
"Let’s go, we’ll go there together."
Under the stimulation of the security guard, Jin Jun seemed to have broken through his own limits, running faster and faster, with his Pathfinder talent being pushed to the utmost, and the exploration value increasing as rapidly as if he were laundering money, piling up crazily.
After spending an hour, Jin Jun managed to run from Happiness Residential Community to the Death Building. He was exhausted and could run no more.
Looking back, initially, it was only the old man full of ghosts who was chasing him, but now, not only did the old man stop, but several more ghostly figures had also appeared in the fog.
Jin Jun really couldn’t run any further; he hid inside the Death Building.
The footsteps behind him grew closer and closer, and with his last bit of energy, Jin Jun ran up a few floors before randomly choosing a door to hide behind.
Just as his fingers touched the doorknob, Jin Jun suddenly heard Han Fei’s voice coming from behind him.
"Don’t go near that door!"
Jin Jun was already in a highly tense state and, after hearing Han Fei’s shout, was startled into opening the door reflexively.
A dense aura of Death Intent mixed with the breath of disaster drifted out from inside the room, and the weakened Jin Jun fell to the ground, feeling as though he had opened Pandora’s box.
The shadow of death enveloped him, and an enormously exaggerated black Giant Ghost, burst through the door and walls, running outside.
Just when Jin Jun thought he was about to be crushed into mincemeat, a familiar figure stood in front of him.
"Boss? Boss!"
Han Fei was sent flying by the black Giant Ghost, his wounds bursting open and his blood tracing an arc through the air.
"Boss!!"
With his eyes red, Jin Jun staggered to his feet. His legs were trembling, but he didn’t choose to run away.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, he took out a rusty machete from his item bar, an essential tool for a Pathfinder to cut through thorns and brush.
His heart racing and legs shaking, Jin Jun’s hand holding the machete trembled violently.
He looked toward the immense black ghostly figure and moved forward.
After taking the most difficult first step, his speed began to increase.
"In one’s life, there must be at least one charge toward the truth, not considering the consequences or one’s own outcome, forward! Run forward!"
Holding the machete, Jin Jun charged at the black monster while yelling, but before he could get close, he was knocked back by the raging Death Intent.
Getting up from the ground, as Jin Jun prepared for the second charge of his life, Han Fei got up from the ground spitting blood: "Don’t panic; I’m not dead yet. By the way, did you guys plan this? I’ve already changed the room for Big Evil, so why can you still find it every time?"
"Boss?" Jin Jun stared at Han Fei, wanting to approach, but he was also somewhat afraid, "That, that monster..."
"What monster? This is my little pet." Han Fei stroked Big Evil’s head, his hand was pricked and oozing blood, but he didn’t care at all, "The child is going through a rebellious phase, he might have scared you."
"Rebellious phase?" Jin Jun’s face twitched, "Boss, your hand is bleeding."
"It’s nothing, just a minor injury." Han Fei waved his hand at Jin Jun, "You keep playing."
Sitting on Big Evil’s back, Han Fei ate a pig heart while bleeding.
After they left, Jin Jun collapsed on the ground, the decision he had just made had used up all his courage.
"Not a bad kid, are you interested in making friends with me?"
A stranger’s voice reached his ears, and Jin Jun looked up to see a long neck hanging from the ceiling and also a human face.
"My name is Li Zai, how about you?"
"Aaahh!"
The piercing scream echoed inside the Death Building, and Han Fei heard it too; he nodded slightly, "Heaven, in order to place great responsibility on a person, must first suffer his mind and will, labor his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, render his body empty, and disrupt his actions..."
After hiding Big Evil in another room, he prepared to leave, but Big Evil rubbed against his leg, looking pitiful.
Looking at the gushing wound on his shin, Han Fei ate another piece of pig heart, then squatted down to talk to Big Evil, "You recover well, and once I’ve completely suppressed the Curse, I’ll take you to a nice place to play."
Hearing this, Big Evil perked up, running around the room, then opened its mouth to spit out several strange items covered in Death Intent.
"What are these?" Han Fei had brought Bai Sinian over to inquire, and after asking, he found out that those strange ornaments were offerings from the shrines.
Knowing this answer, Han Fei wasn’t surprised, "Do you want to share these things with me?"
Big Evil nodded excitedly, and a wry smile appeared on Han Fei’s face, "Whoever offends you is probably going to be so unlucky."
Big Evil was different from ordinary people; if someone offended this little cutie, within three days it would kill them and scatter their ashes, and then on the seventh day after their death, it would return to eat their offerings.
Reaching out to touch those items on the ground, the system only indicated that they were special task items and could only be used in the Shrine Inheritance Task.
Han Fei examined them closely and noticed that the patterns on those offerings seemed almost identical, carved with an old man and three children.
"Where did you manage to get these offerings from?" Han Fei asked Bai Sinian.
"One came from the shrine at the entrance of Happiness Residential Community, two from the abandoned shrine in the Plastic Surgery Hospital, and the last bowl was taken from a shrine in Lost Paradise," recalled Bai Sinian.
"You two are acting like grave robbers," said Han Fei, looking at those offerings, "With identical patterns, the shrines must be worshipping the same Divine Spirit."
Han Fei placed those offerings into his Item Bar, "It seems that the connection between Happiness Residential Community, Plastic Surgery Hospital, and Lost Paradise, these three areas, is even tighter than I imagined."
After inspecting the offerings, Han Fei suspected that most of the shrines in these three areas were left by Fu Sheng, since only Fu Sheng, who came out of there, had the ability to leave so many shrines behind.
"Could these Shrines be interconnected? Are they together hiding Fu Sheng’s Memory World?"
Han Fei had undertaken a Shrine Inheritance Task before, and he knew that upon entering a Shrine, one would witness an Unspeakable life.
"Happiness Residential Community welcomes the arrival of newborn children, then sends them to the Plastic Surgery Hospital for transformation, and finally observes them in Lost Paradise until they meet the conditions, after which they are sent deeper into the city. Fu Sheng must also want to guide me in this way."
Now Han Fei was eagerly anticipating entering the Shrine in the Plastic Surgery Hospital; as long as he could enter Fu Sheng’s Memory World, he would have a high probability of figuring out Fu Sheng’s past.
While chatting with Bai Sinian, Han Fei fed his blood to the Big Evil, and with the help of his blood, the suppression of the Curse by the Big Evil visibly accelerated.
After three hours had passed, Han Fei found Jin Jun in the hallway; this guy had actually leveled up by consuming exploration value inside the Death Building.
"Pathfinder Talent can also be used like this?"
Jin Jun was somewhat dazed at this moment, but indeed he had become much stronger than before. If he encountered a painter and supernatural events again in real life, he wouldn’t be scared out of control.
"Your will has been honed, and it will be very difficult for others to hypnotize you now." After experiencing the Bottomless Abyss, ordinary darkness could no longer stir Jin Jun’s heart, and this was the effect that Han Fei wanted.
Using his Soul-returning Talent, Han Fei sent Jin Jun away, then he entered a side alley in the middle of several areas, accompanied by his neighbors.
This time it took a full three hours, but Han Fei finally received a task.
"The tasks in these alleys are almost completed by me; starting from tomorrow, to exit the game normally, I must enter either the Plastic Surgery Hospital or the Paradise Area."
Another period of comfortable life was about to end; the system was forcing Han Fei to move forward.
"I really hope Lost Paradise and the Plastic Surgery Hospital would fight against each other."
Returning to the Death Building, Han Fei found a safe place to log off, as he had other matters to attend to today.
Removing the game helmet, Han Fei left the residential community where he lived while it was still not completely light outside.
First, he had a heart-to-heart talk with Jin Jun, then he called Bai Xian, Huang Ying, and Liuli Cat.
After confirming that everyone was available in the morning, Han Fei hurried non-stop to the hospital.
Following the police station, the hospital had become the second most familiar place to Han Fei; the duty nurse recognized him at a glance and personally led him to Aunt Li’s ward door.
Aunt Li, who had woken up, was lying in bed with her son sitting beside her, accompanying her without leaving her side.
Seeing the two people in the ward, Han Fei thought of the true form of the Mirror God.
"Aunt Li’s child is an employee of Deep Space Technology; I wonder if I can develop him into an insider."
Han Fei now had a better understanding of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical. As a giant alongside Eternal Life Pharmaceutical, Deep Space Technology must also be hiding many secrets. Han Fei even suspected that it was these two companies that had been backing Fu Sheng but had some accidents later on.
He waited quietly outside the door until the doctor came for a round, and only then did Han Fei follow inside.
Upon seeing Han Fei, Aunt Li on the hospital bed showed a surprised expression; she seemed to recognize that Han Fei was the man wearing the mask in the Deep World.
