Chapter 825: Chapter 825: Greed Personality, Humanity Abyss

In the Unspeakably anticipated future, the Deep World and reality completely fuse, Xinhu becomes the largest Ghost Creature, with nine-tenths of the area occupied by various mysteries. Yet, even in such circumstances, there are still those who dare to face Fierce Ghosts directly in the night.

Yan Lan’s appearance greatly surprised Han Fei; the other person harbors rare Character qualities, allowing people to repeatedly emerge from Disaster.

"It seems the Shrine Memory World must also adhere to basic rules; it’s not purely a Divine Spirit’s fantasy but rather possible future occurrences, merely selecting the most advantageous future for itself."

"Humans still have hope in this world, but that path will be very difficult, after all, God stands on the side of the Deep World."

A booming roar shattered the night’s dead silence, black metal poured into tattoos, Yan Lan tore apart the shadows on the street, and black snow seemed to descend around her.

Violent, powerful, fearless, Yan Lan crushed the hidden Ghost Face in the darkness and scanned the buildings along the street.

Raise a hand, throw a punch!

The rental apartment’s door was smashed open, Yan Lan shattered compartment after compartment; using brute force, she traversed the White Building and emerged on the other side.

At the end of that long back alley, an Eye Hospital filled with flowers was built.

"District B Deceit Building—the Third Eye Hospital, did that gambler run inside to gamble with fate again?" Yan Lan stood on this side of the back alley, interlacing her fingers and twisting her wrists, the metal on her spine had completely fused with the tattoos, she strode towards the Eye Hospital.

This woman showed no sign of fear on her face; her eyes seemed to contain two flames that never extinguish.

The darkness engulfed Yan Lan’s silhouette; much later, Han Fei only heard a loud noise, the rusty iron door of the Eye Hospital was flung into the air, the center area caved in fiercely, completely deformed.

"So fierce?"

After the fusion of the Deep World and reality, Personality, as the aggregation of a person’s value, is infinitely magnified, and everyone is influenced by their own Personality.

People with weak Will find it hard to survive in this chaotic world; for them, suicide is even easier than struggling to live. Those who remain in the city, most have a Will far beyond normal and possess a Personality unique to themselves.

Han Fei intended to stay in the White Building overnight, but who knew Yan Lan would pursue him here. He’s not familiar with Yan Lan and doesn’t know her intentions.

"Should I stay here or go back to school?"

After retrieving three Curse Items, Han Fei risked further spread of Mental Pollution, he could briefly use that Coin, or as a last resort, sacrifice his eyes to summon the Ghost from the Prosthetic Eye for twenty seconds.

"My current Ability to protect myself is quite weak; better to return in the daylight." Han Fei stood by the window, constantly watching the Third Eye Hospital.

Before the Gao Cheng disaster, he had an eye condition and possessed the Prosthetic Eye, which seems related to the Third Eye Hospital.

To further unravel the mysteries surrounding Gao Cheng, Han Fei must eventually enter the Deceit Building deep within the back alley.

Waiting quietly, Han Fei glanced at his watch; two hours had passed, Yan Lan still hadn’t emerged.

"The Deceit Building is an unexplored structure; Yan Lan wouldn’t be trapped inside, would she?"

For some reason, Han Fei felt uneasy, his heart started beating faster, and the room’s temperature was slowly dropping.

Putting on a Black Duckbill Hat, Han Fei keenly sensed something standing outside his door; just as he discovered the presence, a knock sounded.

Han Fei wouldn’t be foolish enough to open the door willingly; he watched the door handle as it swayed up and down, hiding the fate-determining Coin in his palm.

A moment later, the door opened.

The ugly, twisted Black Heart Landlord appeared holding a piggy bank at the door, greedily looking at Han Fei, seemingly reminding him his rent was due.

"You truly are greedy." Han Fei nearly laughed in frustration, reaching into his backpack to fetch the last Paper Money: "Greed and fear are paired emotions, following countless greedy impulses; fear is inevitable."

Instead of stuffing the Paper Money into the piggy bank, he tossed the Coin of fate into the air.

The portrait on the Coin, while spinning, transformed into Han Fei’s likeness, his destiny linked with greed, just like Kuangxiao’s sacrifice risking everything to steal from God, Han Fei also bet his fate on the table.

All emotions related to greed flooded into the Coin from his Brain Sea; Han Fei had never confronted himself before; in reality, his ambition and greed far exceeded any Ghost in the Deep World.

Even compared to previous Black Box successors, he was unmatched.

Ambition from the depth of the Soul transformed into searing flames, illuminating the Deceit Mirror Han Fei carried.

High Cheng, sealed in the mirror, looked at Han Fei like appreciating a rare artwork; the desire he had struggled countless times unable to fulfill, finally saw a glimmer of hope.

The mirror’s surface began to crack; the fate-determining Coin started descending, and Han Fei, in a daze, heard a voice emerging from the mirror.

"End it all, destroy it all, I don’t need this substituted fate!"

High Cheng, in the Deceit Mirror, saw Han Fei’s ambition and sensed Han Fei’s true thoughts; he did not hinder Han Fei but cooperated spontaneously to trigger the Greed Personality.

The Coin continuously flipped; Han Fei’s portrait engraved on the obverse, High Cheng’s portrait on the reverse.

When the Coin fell back into Han Fei’s palm, all his greed and ambition transformed into a bottomless Abyss, stretching at the edge of his Brain Sea, seeming like the scene manifested by the Greed Personality within the Brain Sea.

"Who do you think hates him the most in the world? The innocent haven treated as art? The targets of slaughter and bullying? None of them!"

"The person who hates him the most in the world is me, one fate change trapped me in this Purgatory forever, unable to live or die."

"So, I am willing to cooperate with you. I am the only one in this world who will not betray you."

"Let our fates intertwine and wrap together, and let us complete this grand gamble together."

The Deceit Mirror shattered, and that unfamiliar voice seemed to have come from Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng had exchanged fates with someone, and in revenge, that person made him endure the most painful and desperate life in this Shrine World.

Long ago, Gao Cheng was an ordinary person, but now his brain sea has become an abyss, burying countless memories of the past within it.

Various gruesome death scenes, those he cared about tortured to death over and over, the children he guarded treated as food, trying to escape yet never reaching the end of the city.

Trying every method, only infinite despair was left, and his memory-collecting brain sea ultimately turned into a greed abyss, burying all his humanity and turning him into a monster loathed by everyone.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"I’m not the one who changed lives, so why must I bear all the consequences!"

The abyss in Han Fei’s brain sea surged with black mist, decayed memories flooding into the coin, and with Gao Cheng’s help, Han Fei triggered the Greed Personality for the first time!

The aura on him began to change, ghostly faces started to appear on the coin, exuding a terrifying aura that superimposed onto Han Fei.

"Player number 0000, please note! You have successfully triggered the Greed Personality!"

"Greed Personality: Devour the obsessions of fierce ghosts to gain the abilities of ghosts and monsters! The strength of the ghost and monster devoured, and the upper limit of abilities, depend on the player’s own greed, ambition, and willpower!"

"Beware! You will never know when your personality will shatter, perhaps after devouring ten fierce ghosts, perhaps after devouring a hundred fierce ghosts, or perhaps... after devouring the next fierce ghost."

The landlord holding the money jar still stood in place, and compared to Han Fei, its ugly face actually seemed somewhat endearing.

The black mist, like a continually tearing open mouth, swallowed the black-hearted landlord whole!

Regret was directly devoured by Han Fei, facing weak ghosts and monsters, this ability wasn’t about eating memories, but complete consumption!

The abyss in the brain sea grew darker, harboring endless greed within.

"Player number 0000, please note! You have successfully used the Greed Personality to devour ordinary regret, the Greed Abyss has been strengthened, no special ability gained, mental pollution increased by one!"

"Current Mental Pollution Index is thirty! Please clear the pollution as soon as possible to regain sanity!"

The black mist dissipated, Han Fei looked at the money jar on the ground, not expecting Gao Cheng’s Greed Personality to be so terrifying.

"Eat ghosts? What kind of torture did Gao Cheng endure in the Shrine Memory World to awaken such an ability?"

Someone made it so Gao Cheng couldn’t live nor die, and combined with some information obtained earlier, Han Fei could roughly guess Gao Cheng’s true identity.

"The Greed Personality is terrifying, but my Healing Personality shouldn’t be bad either. What kind of effect will it have if both personalities are fully activated? If the Healing Personality can cure all mental defects within myself, wouldn’t I be able to infinitely utilize the Greed Personality?"

The idea was good, but in reality, Han Fei’s mental pollution was once again severe, and he now desperately needed ghost blood: "I’ll need to trouble Teacher Wang more when I go to school tomorrow."

Normal people using a large amount of ghost blood is akin to slow suicide, but only Han Fei dared to try such a thing.

"The ghost of the White Building was devoured by me. If I also take away the curse item money jar, this place might return to being a normal building, and the supplies Gao Cheng stored inside could easily be stolen by others."

While Han Fei was hesitating whether to take the money jar, a figure appeared at the end of the long alley, Yan Lan emerged unscathed from the shadows, her eyes locked on the second floor of the hotel where Han Fei was hiding, like the most dangerous hunter in the night.

"Not a single injury on her? She didn’t enter the Deceit Building just now!" Han Fei retreated, but Yan Lan had already pinpointed his location, legs bending and leaping fiercely.

Her metal-embedded fists broke through the rental house’s wall, directly landing in the room where Han Fei was.

Cracks appeared on the floor, Yan Lan stood not far from Han Fei: "You sure know how to hide."

After mingling in the Deep World for so long, Han Fei quickly figured everything out. Yan Lan smashed the Deceit Building’s door open but didn’t enter; everything she did was to make Han Fei lower his guard and determine his location.

"Hide?" Han Fei turned on the Master-level Acting switch in his mind, now looking completely different from when he was at school during the day, completely unlike someone whose mind was already highly polluted: "In three days, the students will participate in the assessment. Surely you’re not planning to risk everything with me at this time?"

Tossing the coin in his palm, Han Fei was surrounded by black mist invisible to ordinary people, like a humanity abyss ready to devour everything.

"The school’s detectors don’t lie, stop acting strong." Yan Lan’s gaze was as sharp as a blade: "You’re almost dead anyway; why not give your class’s slots to me? I’ll help more useful children survive."

"Do you think the children in my class are terrible?"

"A group of mentally flawed disabled orphans; their survival is of no help to Xinhu." Yan Lan was blunt, already prepared to be refused by Han Fei, and was ready to use her expertise in violent suppression next.

The assessment was a sacrifice, with each class required to have a certain number of children die, becoming a feast for the ghosts and monsters.

"You and Teacher Wang both have designs on the students in my class. Since you love your class’s kids so much, why not dare to stand out and resist the school?" Han Fei smiled: "I’m very greedy. I don’t want a single child in my class to die, nor do I want children from your class to die in their place. Their lives are just beginning and shouldn’t be sacrificed to ghosts and gods."

Hearing Han Fei’s words, Yan Lan frowned, feeling that Han Fei was truly mad: "I’d rather believe in a stray dog by the roadside than believe you have such awareness."

"Then just wait and see; I’ll show you how this city can be overturned." Han Fei put away the coin, his eyes extremely bright: "And one more thing, the kids in my class aren’t orphans—they have each other, and they’re my family too."
