A chill came from the tip of his finger. Then the chill seeped into his body and slowly froze his consciousness.
Han Fei lowered his head to look. The black mouth of the can enlarged before his eyes. The water at the bottom of the can rippled and a pale human face slowly floated up.
The face was at the bottom of the can. It looked at Han Fei expressionlessly and the facial features slowly changed.
"What is it that you want? What is it that you desire? "
A strange voice came from afar and then it echoed in Han Fei's heart.
He did not want to answer but the desire at the bottom of his heart was stirred.
The human face under the water gradually became clearer. His mouth kept spouting out all kinds of greed, including money, beauty, and fame.
Han Fei's heart did not waver at all towards these things but when the face uttered the word 'truth', Han Fei felt his consciousness starting to sink.
He waved his hands, trying to grab something but there was only himself in the darkness.
'You want the truth?'
Han Fei's consciousness was dragged into the can. His body was enveloped in a chilling sensation. Han Fei could not control himself. This was not something that could be solved with willpower alone.
Like tumbling down a dark cave, Han Fei's consciousness fell into a cold, deep pool.
He felt the air in his lungs leaving him. He struggled but his consciousness continued to sink.
Lifting his head, Han Fei saw the human face that was originally under the water was now floating on the surface.
It was still staring at Han Fei but the facial features had taken on Han Fei's appearance.
The mouth opened and closed like it was trying to tell Han Fei something but it only managed to say one word before a ghastly crack appeared on the face.
At that moment, Han Fei's consciousness cleared up slightly. He lowered his head to look into the deep pool.
At the bottom of the pool, there were many people. They were like soulless puppets, piled on top of each other. Their hair swayed with the flow of the water. There was no light in their eyes, they were empty and lost.
The deeper he went, the harder it was to break free. Han Fei tried his best to swim up but the strength in his body weakened.
Suffocation, pain, exhaustion, his consciousness was fading. If Han Fei obediently closed his eyes and gave up resisting, perhaps he would not have to endure this torture anymore.
The voices inside the pool kept tempting Han Fei. The pale arms seemed to represent different desires. They slowly floated up, trying to grab Han Fei who was still holding on.
His lungs were burning, his head was dizzy, and he had almost lost control of his arms and legs. But even in this situation, Han Fei refused to give in.
He wanted to live. He wanted to see tomorrow.
Using his last bit of rationality, Han Fei tried to open the menu. However, he was in a special state where his consciousness was stripped away. Other than Spirit Farer and Resurrection, everything else was greyed out.
Clinging to his last hope, Han Fei prepared to summon the soul inside the jar. However, before he could use his manager talent, the human face floating on the water suddenly grimaced in pain.
The human face inside the jar had to satisfy the greed of others before it could imprison their souls.
Han Fei's greed was very special. It was a strong pursuit of the truth.
To satisfy Han Fei's greed, the human face inside the jar seemed to speak about an unspeakable existence.
The cracks on the face increased. The human face seemed to have given up on its own rules. It did not plan to tell Han Fei the truth. Instead, it manipulated the dead bodies at the bottom of the pool to force Han Fei to stay.
As the cracks on the human face increased, Han Fei's mind became clearer. As the stolen memories slowly returned, Han Fei could feel the restraints on him weakening.
Gritting his teeth, Han Fei swam towards the surface with all his might!
When his fingertips touched the surface of the water, a strand of black silk wrapped around his arm and suddenly pulled him out of the deep pool!
"Pa!"
A small crack appeared on the black jar. Han Fei's eyes instantly returned to normal.
His back was drenched in cold sweat. His upper body was entangled by Xu Qin's pet. Half of the pet's body was still inside the jar.
'That was too close!'
Han Fei's body was shaking. If his greed was not for the truth but for something else, he would not even have the chance to resist.
He could still vaguely remember when his consciousness was about to fade away, a crack appeared on the human face.
It was because the human face suffered some kind of injury that Han Fei regained his sanity.
It was rare to find someone who was greedy for the truth and even rarer for someone whose truth was related to the unspeakable existence.
The human face in the jar also fell for the trick and accidentally mentioned the unspeakable thing.
Han Fei yanked Xu Qin's shadow out from the jar. To Han Fei's surprise, the shadow came out with a pile of old notes.
The notes were filled with various wishes, including 'someone likes me', 'I get first place in my exams', 'I don't fail my subjects', 'someone has bad luck today' and 'someone has to die today'.
Among the pile of notes, Han Fei saw a small piece of bone.
"Notification for Player 0000! You've completed Grade G Hidden Mission — The Jar. Obtained 1 basic skill point and the unique reward for the hidden mission — Wishing Jar.
"Wishing Jar (Grade G Cursed Object): There is a jar buried in a corner of the school garden. Legend has it that if you make a wish on the jar, your wish will come true. This legend was first told by a female student. She said that she hated her younger brother. Later, she made a wish on a jar, and her younger brother really disappeared. "
"You've successfully challenged a school's ghost story. Grade F Hidden Mission Jing Sheng's ghost story completion rate is 1/7."
After reading the mission details, Han Fei had a general idea of the girl's method of fulfilling her wish. She probably killed her younger brother and hid a part of his body inside the jar.
It was not the jar that fulfilled her wish, the so-called wishing jar was just an excuse to hide her evil intentions.
"There was a dead person inside the jar."
Han Fei frowned. The shadow next to him was heartless, swallowing the Yin energy and curses on the paper. The little guy would eat anything that came his way.
"Sir? Are you alright? "Zhang Guanxing used the broom to poke Han Fei's waist. He asked with uncertainty.
"My consciousness was sucked into the jar, I almost died."
"Then did you see my friend inside the jar?"
"Your friend has probably been assimilated by the curse inside the jar." Han Fei picked up the lid and resealed the can. From a certain perspective, the Wishing Can was quite a good weapon.
