Removing the gaming helmet, Han Fei collapsed onto the bed.
In just one night, he was promoted from an employee to a manager. Even he did not expect such a fast promotion.
Han Fei stretched his stiff body. He noticed his fingers were shaking. He clenched his fists with lingering fear.
He had survived the night and managed to occupy the convenience store. It might look like a good result but in retrospect, if there had been a single mistake, he would have died.
He was gambling with his life, fighting for a slim chance of survival in the end.
'I'm still too weak, I'm only level 7. Based on the introduction on Perfect Life's official website, only after a player reaches level 10 and obtains their first official profession will their power level increase significantly. '
'The rules of the surface world and the cryptic world should be the same but the hidden profession, Midnight Butcher …'
Han Fei could not find any information related to this class on the official website. He had no idea what the future direction of this class was or what its future plans were.
In a normal Perfect Life game, leveling up in the early stage was easy. If one was willing to work hard, one could reach level 10 in one day.
The first 10 levels were for the players to familiarize themselves with the controls and the game world. The true charm of the game only started after level 10.
To obtain the profession that one desired, to experience the life that one longed for, to grasp the bright future with one's own hands, that was the meaning of Perfect Life.
However, for Han Fei, he did not care about the bright future or the bright life. All he wanted was to live to see the sun rise the next day.
'There's no point thinking so much, I should make use of the time to level up.'
Closing his eyes, Han Fei cleared his mind and soon fell asleep.
Han Fei was woken up by his alarm at 8 am. He washed up and hurried to the set.
'I signed a profit sharing agreement with the crew. If the movie is a hit, I'll receive a huge sum of money. Then I won't have to worry so much anymore.'
Han Fei rushed to the first floor. Before he exited the stairwell, he ran into Li Xue and another police officer.
"You're not here for me, are you?"
"It's not convenient here, let's talk inside the police car." Li Xue grabbed Han Fei's arm. Her expression was serious.
The three stopped next to a normal looking police car. Before Han Fei got into the car, the other officer took out a detector to scan Han Fei.
After ensuring that Han Fei did not carry any dangerous items on him, he politely 'borrowed' Han Fei's phone and placed it inside a special bag. The bag appeared to be able to block the signal.
"Get in the car."
Han Fei obediently got into the police car. Li Xue and the other officer did not follow him. They closed the door and stood guard outside.
"Is it that serious?"
For a moment, Han Fei thought the secret of the black box had been exposed. However, no matter how anxious he was, he would not show it on his face. That was the basic quality of an actor.
"Han Fei, survivor of Happy Orphanage's Bloody Night. Since the citizen information was registered, he has not committed any dangerous acts. Danger rating is zero." At the back of the police car, a police officer in his sixties lowered his head to look at his phone screen.
"Who are you?" Han Fei sat down next to the old man. He glanced at the old man's phone out of the corner of his eyes. There was no information on the screen, only a picture of a butterfly with its wings torn off.
"Technology has advanced rapidly in the past 30 years. Things that used to be miracles have now become commonplace in every household. Many people's imagination has failed to keep up with the advancement of technology. Technology has changed our lives but it has also brought with it some problems. Compared to the criminals of the past, the criminals of today are much more difficult to deal with. They hide deeper, more dangerous, more vicious and evil. " The old man put away his phone and lifted his head to look at Han Fei. He had a normal appearance, the kind that would be easily forgotten. However, his eyes were too unique, they were as deep as the ocean.
"Sir, I'm in a hurry to film, can't you be more direct with your words?" Han Fei had a good impression of the police. They had a cooperative relationship. His own social media account was followed by many government agencies.
"I am Li Xue's teacher. I've been staying at the hospital, that's why I've waited so long to thank you." The old man's posture was relaxed but Han Fei could not find anything wrong with him.
"Is it because of the human jigsaw case? There's no need to thank me, I'm just doing my job. "
"No." The old man shook his head and said seriously, "It's because of the Butterfly."
He pocketed his phone and revealed a very secret to Han Fei in a seemingly casual manner. "The citizen information system categorizes criminals into 6 categories based on their danger rating, from A to F. Other than these 6 categories, there is another category of criminals that the citizen information system cannot identify. They are much more dangerous, cunning and difficult to deal with than Grade A criminals but their danger rating has always been 0. "
"I have a feeling you're trying to imply something." Han Fei knew his own danger rating was 0.
"At the police station, we call these criminals as Grade S criminals, others call them supervillains. The Butterfly is one of the supervillains that we've been investigating for the past 10 years."
"You've been investigating the Butterfly?"
"The Butterfly never kills their own people. Their victims either die at the hands of unrelated people or they die from accidents or suicide. Many times, we can't even tell whether a person's death is related to the Butterfly or not." The old man's tone was calm but his eyes were scary. "The victims die in many different ways. Our investigation on the Butterfly has been slow until recently when we caught the real culprit behind the human jigsaw case."
"You've found clues about the Butterfly?"
"Meng Changan is the only person who has come into contact with the Butterfly. We've already pried his lips open. As we learn more, the Butterfly will only get crazier and crazier. When that happens, it might come for you." The old man stared into Han Fei's eyes for a long time. "Other than to thank you in person, I'm here today to warn you that the Butterfly will come for you. Do not leave Xin Lu for the time being and do not go out alone at night. Other than that, try to stay away from schools and hospitals."
"Why can't I go to those two places?"
"Based on Meng Changan's subconscious brain mapping, when we mention the Butterfly's appearance and identity, his brain will react subtly to the words' doctor 'and' teacher '."
"Then is it possible that in Meng Changan's mind, the Butterfly is his teacher and doctor?" Han Fei voiced his own speculation.
"The subconscious brain mapping is only one of the pieces of evidence. From Meng Changan's body, we also discovered that the Butterfly is related to another case. The case happened at Yi Ming Private Academy. At the time, everyone thought the boy's death was an accident. It was not until we reinvestigated that we realized the boy's death was premeditated."
"Yi Ming Private Academy?" Han Fei showed an expression like this was the first time he heard this name. He was confused. "What happened to that school?"
