Chapter 851 Gao Cheng’s Wish

Chapter 851: Chapter 851 Gao Cheng’s Wish

Raising his heavy eyelids, Han Fei found himself lying in a clean and tidy hospital room, with a paperman looking exactly like Xu Qin beside his pillow. At first glance, the scene seemed reminiscent of a ghost marriage.

"You’ve actually woken up? I thought you might sleep a while longer." A group leader’s voice came from the balcony, with bandages wrapped around his head and an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth.

"Where is this?"

"Disaster Investigation Bureau’s special care ward, applied specifically for you." Putting away the cigarette, the group leader walked to Han Fei’s bedside: "Two days and nights have passed since the Deep Sea Aquarium investigation. On behalf of all surviving members of the investigation group, I thank you. Without your help, we could have lost at least one-third of our team, and I might not have returned."

The usually silent group leader seemed to talk a bit more today.

"Compared to that, I should thank you for bringing me back from the brink of death." At that time, Han Fei’s brain was severely polluted, but he felt significantly better now.

Upon hearing Han Fei’s words, the group leader shook his head: "It wasn’t us who saved you, it was yourself and a student of yours, the kid who lost both legs."

"Number Two?"

"Yes." The group leader nodded: "That kid has uncommon courage. He fed you the Heart of Grudge, and not just one."

"And then?"

"I don’t know the exact process because he wouldn’t let anyone enter the hospital room. You’re really a good teacher; knowing you were in trouble, all the students were willing to step up and help you." The group leader put a form next to Han Fei’s bed: "Investigating Deceit Building, confirming information on Hatred within, and killing a regular hatred, finally covering all investigation groups during retreat, you accumulated a total of fifty thousand Contribution Points."

"The hatred was killed through everyone’s efforts, isn’t fifty thousand too much for me?" Han Fei reluctantly turned his head to look at the form, only to find that the Contribution Points weren’t fifty thousand, but a negative number.

"I haven’t finished yet. To save you, five Hearts of Grudge were consumed, among which two are extremely precious, almost exhausting the Disaster Investigation Bureau’s entire stockpile. The director thought highly of your contributions, calculating it for you at the normal price of ten thousand Contribution Points each." The group leader pointed at the expenses behind the form: "Additionally, your students moved a large amount of cursed items and some personality-enhancing drugs from the Investigation Bureau’s Evidence Department under the guise of treating you. We wanted to share some of the burden, but unfortunately, the total was indeed rather large."

In his hazy state, Han Fei understood very much when he saw the negative two hundred thousand figure, perhaps anticipation of Number Two.

"The director already wiped away the fraction for you." The group leader thoughtfully reminded Han Fei.

"Mind telling me, normally how many Contribution Points do you earn through a task?" Han Fei didn’t like owing things to others, but if paying back was impossible, then it’s a different story.

"Regular tasks earn around one thousand, only during missions against Black Building, members who achieve great things might earn tens of thousands of Contribution Points." The group leader knew Han Fei’s intentions, he smiled: "Just pay back at your own pace, the Bureau still needs your ability, we won’t be pressuring you for debts."

"Alright, it’s the only choice." Han Fei’s body was not yet able to move freely, he clenched his teeth: "Can I meet Class Seven students? No one else matters, bring me Number Two, he’s the most cunning, the one with devious tricks."

"You just called him the smartest student in Class Seven though." The group leader pressed the communication button by the bed, instructing the nurse to inform Class Seven students that their teacher had awakened.

While waiting for Class Seven students to arrive, Han Fei looked back at the group leader’s head: "What is your Personality Ability? I remember you got trapped in the eyes of Hatred, how come you’re still alive and kicking now?"

"I’m Sacrifice Personality, each time going into action believing in certain death, rising by placing myself in deadly peril."

"Self-Sacrifice Personality?" This was Han Fei’s first time hearing such a personality.

"Every time forced to true desperation, my Personality Ability erupts, if surviving such scenarios, my Personality Ability strengthens further; otherwise, you’d never see me again." The group leader seemed to talk about something trivial.

"You’ve awakened your personality seven times, does that mean you sacrificed yourself seven times, plunged into certain death, but got rescued each time?" Han Fei didn’t expect such a story from the group leader.

"Yes, everyone has different ways of awakening their personality; mine requires self-sacrifice." The group leader’s gaze was somewhat dim: "Group one is the most fatal investigation group, I don’t recommend anyone joining my team."

A knock on the door suddenly interrupted the conversation between Han Fei and the group leader.

"Please come in!"

The door slid open, the doctor accompanied by a nurse entered the room, the fifth-class leader followed behind with Number Two on his back.

The doctor checked Han Fei one last time while the students remained silently beside him.

"Your physical condition has surpassed regular human scope, seemingly born to adapt to great disasters." The doctor seemed to appreciate a piece of art: "Really feel like dissecting you, looking at internal structures."

"Doctor Wang, watch your words." The group leader patted the doctor’s shoulder, after completing the checkup, he gestured for the doctor and nurse to leave the hospital room, leaving only the two students.

"Take your time chatting, I’ll go out for a smoke." The leader sensibly departed, uninterested in the secrets between Han Fei and the students.

"So, tell me, how did you heal me?" Han Fei looked at Number Two’s face, unable to fathom his thoughts, as if they belonged to different dimensions.

"Judging by your tone, you’re upset about the two hundred thousand debt?" Number Five picked up an apple from the table and started peeling it: "You’ve become like a child?"

"Most of those Contribution Points were spent on you, delve your will deeply into the brain sea, feel how your personality has changed." Number Two eagerly watched Han Fei: "Initially we had no expectations for you, but you pleasantly surprised us."

Following Number Two’s guidance, Han Fei’s mind descended, his consciousness emerged within the brain sea.

The Greed Abyss expanded double, the negative emotions accumulated within the Deep Sea Aquarium transformed into a Black River, slowly flowing within the abyss, imprisoning a weakened hatred possessing black fire.

"Player Number 0000, pay attention! Greed Personality breakthrough, your burning ambition scorched the hatred, raising the limit of ghosts and monsters imprisoned in Greed Abyss to seventeen!"

"Player number 0000, please note! You have imprisoned the hatred possessing Black Fire—Abandoned Little Yu (Little Fish)."

"Little Yu (Little Fish): She is the last friend of the Divine Spirit, a doll made by the Divine Spirit, she has similar experiences to the Divine Spirit!"

"Hatred Ability Memory Illusion Realm: Blurs reality and fantasy, causing the soul to lose its way."

"Black Fire accompanying ability Abandonment: Deprive the target of part of their soul and body, forcing them to abandon what they most cherish, be it memories, beliefs, or even life."

"Ghost Creature ability (affecting range of a hundred meters): After Ghost Creature unfolds, all souls within a hundred meters will be influenced, losing the will to resist, all abilities of hatred itself are enhanced."

All hatred that ignites Black Fire is extremely terrifying, Han Fei fortunately succeeded in a sneak attack last time, destroying the Black Fire before hatred used its own abilities.

"Player number 0000, please note! Healing-type personality has been strengthened! Cleanse the soul, purify oneself, to heal others, one must first heal oneself."

The starlight of healing has become much brighter than before, suppressing all negative emotions in the Greed Abyss, unable to severely affect Han Fei. A new balance has emerged in his brain sea, the Healing Personality seems non-aggressive but grows along with the Greed Personality, healing Han Fei’s pain and resisting disasters.

"My personality seems to have strengthened a bit?"

"That’s more than a bit!" Number Five placed the peeled apple beside Han Fei’s mouth: "You previously helped to heal everyone’s personality in the whole class, after your incident, the entire class collectively used the power of personality to help you share negative emotions, strengthening your personality’s power."

"Although some kids are unwilling to admit it, we indeed form a whole." Number Two sat at the bedside, his voice carrying a maturity difficult for others to understand: "The personality power of thirty children can perfectly integrate with yours, the only explanation I can think of is because you once healed and aided each of us, this is how I persuaded everyone to help."

Although the students of Class Seven made Han Fei suddenly owe twenty thousand contribution points, his heart felt warm now, as if the children finally accepted him.

"Then should I thank you?" Han Fei ate the apple peeled by Number Five: "Clearly in debt of twenty thousand, yet feeling as if I’ve made a gain, is this the art of conversation?"

Anyway, Han Fei’s injury indeed brought him closer to the children, both his personalities received qualitative improvements.

"Have a good rest, don’t worry about us, once you recover, you should be able to feel the improvement in your own strength." Number Two cautioned Han Fei with some instructions and then left.

This Shrine Memory World is more dangerous than any other shrine Han Fei has previously experienced, but because of the presence of these children from Class Seven, the pressure on Han Fei is much less, the sense of mutual dependence is quite nice.

Awakened Han Fei had the hospital prepare a large amount of meat and nutrition liquid, under the shocked gaze of the doctors and nurses, he feasted rapidly as his body began to recover at an astonishing speed.

That night Han Fei could already walk, upon hearing about his situation, Li Xue convened core members of the investigation team to discuss the next plan.

Seated in a wheelchair, Han Fei was taken to the meeting room, passing that special wall, he noticed two more names had been added, seeming to be members of a group.

At the time when the group leader brought them out of hatred’s eye, they had already lost all vitality.

Han Fei entered the meeting room, everyone else was already present.

"Preliminary investigation of the Deep Sea Aquarium deceit building completed, danger rating is disaster level." The table in the meeting room was filled with data and analysis concerning the eye hatred, the top student group leader was explaining to everyone: "With our abilities, there’s currently no possibility of eliminating the opponent."

The meeting room fell into silence, a moment later Li Xue looked at Han Fei: "Teacher Gao, did you find anything in the Deep Sea Aquarium? I heard that at the last moment, you entered the deep water and retrieved something, attracting all of hatred’s resentment alone."

"I’ve mentioned before, above hatred there’s a type of ghost called Unspeakable, this eye hatred is composed of unspeakable partial memory." Han Fei dared not mention Gao Xing and Gao Cheng’s names, using pseudonyms to recount their past: "Moreover, that child’s memory is submerged in the deep sea, I rescued it and placed it into my own personality abyss, once I recover, I should be able to find the Divine Spirit’s weakness, at that time, solving the eye hatred shouldn’t be too big of an issue."

Having witnessed the terror of the eye hatred, the meeting room felt very oppressive, but Han Fei always brings hope.

"Follow your plan, for now you should not participate in investigation tasks, focus on healing. If you need anything, go directly to the evidence department to retrieve it, repayment can be discussed later." Li Xue gave Han Fei great favor, other core members of the investigation team said nothing, this is what Han Fei strove for with his life.

The meeting ended quickly, before Han Fei’s complete recovery, the Investigation Bureau suspended the investigation of the Deep Sea Aquarium, turning its focus to the Black Building—Xinhu Third Mental Hospital.

This place Han Fei is also very familiar with, the hatred hidden in the mental hospital is one of the behind-the-scenes culprits treating the school as a breeding ground.

Before the official investigation, a lot of auxiliary work needed to be done, these matters did not concern Han Fei.

Back in the ward, Han Fei immediately began attempting to communicate with Gao Cheng’s real-world memory.

His consciousness jumped into the Greed Abyss, standing on the Flower of Grudge, looking everywhere for the boy’s figure.

After a long exploration, Han Fei finally found him at the junction of the Black River, Abyss, and Starlight.

The emaciated child had his eyes gouged out, curled up, with a numb look, his shoulders trembling. Yet when starlight shone upon him, his shadow was a strong adult, constantly emanating ferocity, decisiveness, and greed.

"The child is Gao Cheng’s real-world memory, the shadow should be Gao Cheng’s consciousness fragment in the Shrine world."

A complete person consists of many elements, body, memory, emotion, will, soul, both the shadow and child are parts of Gao Cheng.

"Player number 0000, please note! You have obtained D-level Shrine core item Gao Cheng’s memory, successfully triggering the Shrine hidden task—Gao Cheng’s Heart’s Desire."

"Gao Cheng’s Heart’s Desire (Shrine Hidden Task): After being tortured for countless years, only one thing supports him. He wants to see his most beloved family member again, to ask if she still loves him?"

"Player number 0000, please note! This task is a core task! Your choices will dictate the course of destiny! Upon completion of the task, Gao Cheng may completely fuse with you! You will truly control everything of his!"
