'Now the cryptic world and the surface world are completely separated, is that reasonable? Is that correct? '
After the Butterfly's consciousness disappeared, the Nightmare Tunnel collapsed. The armoire inside the Ziggurat became a hub that connected the cryptic world to the outside world.
As the game progressed, more hubs similar to the Ziggurat would appear. The cryptic world appeared to have been unsealed by some kind of power. It was slowly emerging from the deep ocean and merging with the outside world.
'The previous owner of the black box was Fu Sheng. He chose to destroy everything and that caused the cryptic world to be sealed in darkness. All the ghosts and monsters could only wallow in despair.
"Now that Fu Sheng's memory fragments are all that's left of him, his original plan must have failed. Something in the cryptic world has lost its restraints and it might reach out to the outside world. The butterfly is just the beginning, or rather, a small test."
People who do not think far ahead will have immediate worries. Han Fei had been thinking nonstop.
He did not have the power to stop the scariest things in the cryptic world, all he could do was adapt to the times and try to change the world in his own way.
'The merging might not be a completely bad thing. There is too much pain and despair in the cryptic world. Simple sealing and sealing might breed a monster that is beyond human imagination.'
Han Fei had seen Fu Sheng's memory fragments. Extreme destruction and redemption did not seem to work.
Be it for the sake of his neighbours or himself, he needed to find a new path.
After sending Zheng Haicheng away, Han Fei truly felt the pressure on him.
If not for the fact that he happened to be in control of the Ziggurat, Zheng Haicheng would have ended up badly.
As the cryptic world continued to change, more and more people would enter the cryptic world due to various accidents. Han Fei had to play the role of a gatekeeper.
He did feel like a security guard but his job was not to guard the Ziggurat but the Gates of Hell.
'I'm still too weak. If I can be as powerful as Old Ghost, many problems will no longer be a problem.'
After witnessing the madness of the Evil Soul, Han Fei's heart was filled with yearning.
He opened the menu and added all the skill points he had saved into his active skills. He raised all of them to master level.
Skill Points were hard to come by in the surface world but hidden missions were everywhere in the cryptic world. No one dared to compete with Han Fei for Skill Points. This allowed Han Fei to accumulate a large number of Skill Points. It felt like he was playing on a private server but the owner was a ghost.
If he wanted to level up a Master level skill, he needed to complete specific quests. Han Fei only had 1 HP left so he did not dare to accept those uncertain quests. For the current him, a Master was enough.
Scrolling through the property bar, Han Fei saw two more talents.
Resurrection was an unknown talent, it could only be used once a night. After clearing Yi Ming Private Academy, Spirit Farer was upgraded to level F, it could be used twice a night.
With the thought that it would be a waste if he did not use it, he used Soul Recall twice in the room.
The first attempt was on Ming Mei's father, but it failed. Ming Mei's murderer did not appear to have used Deep Space Technology's psychotherapy device.
Han Fei's second target was Ming Mei's mother. She was Ying Yue's father's biological sister. They were related by blood but she kept tormenting Ying Yue like an animal.
After calling out Ming Mei's mother's name, the blood sea before Han Fei soon reacted. A black worm floated out from under a small splash. It wriggled desperately before it was swallowed by one of the ghost faces.
'It worked?'
The menu returned to normal. The Door of Hell closed and a crazed woman appeared at the corner of the room. There was a brief moment of clarity in her eyes but it was soon replaced by madness.
The moment Soul Recall was successful, the woman revealed her hidden thoughts. She was not really mad, she still had a trace of sanity.
"So you're not mad?" Han Fei looked at the woman happily. "Don't be afraid, I won't let you die so easily."
Perhaps it was because he had played too many villains or perhaps he was infected by the cryptic world, when Han Fei showed what he thought was the most beautiful smile on his face, the whole room turned eerie.
"You miss your daughter too, right? I'll take you to see her." Han Fei walked to Ming Mei's mother and reached out to grab the woman's arm.
The woman tried to dodge, but the difference in strength between them was too great. She could only play the fool and scream at Han Fei.
"Trust me, your daughter is really here." Han Fei dragged the woman out of the room and into the corridor where the rest of the Happiness Neighbourhood resided.
Being stared at by so many different people, the woman who was pretending to be mad started to cry. She started to beg Han Fei to let go of her.
"What's the point of begging? There was once a little girl who begged you like this but you separated her and placed her inside a doll. You knew she was allergic to plush toys so you purposely chose plush dolls to hide her body. "
Han Fei's tone could no longer be described as cold. He blended in perfectly with the people in the corridor.
"Look, your daughter is right there. She's waiting for you." Han Fei pointed at the end of the corridor. A little girl who was playing with a doll slowly raised her head.
There were no eyeballs in the dark eye sockets. The doll she was holding looked about 80% to 90% similar to Ming Mei.
"Ying, Ying Yue!" The woman shrank back desperately but by then all the neighbours had surrounded her.
"Go reunite with your daughter, she's been waiting for you for a long time."
"She's not my daughter! She's a ghost! "The woman screamed at Ying Yue. She struggled hysterically.
Han Fei shook his head. "You don't deserve to have anything to do with Ying Yue. Your daughter is that doll toy, that little doll that keeps crying and crying. "
Han Fei handed Ming Mei's mother over to Ying Yue. The temperature in the corridor dropped. Black eyes opened on the walls. They all stared at Ming Mei's mother.
Dragging the doll made from Ming Mei, Ying Yue approached Ming Mei's mother. She grabbed the woman's hair and dragged her into the darkness of the corridor.
"Notification for Player 0000! Friendliness level with Ying Yue increases by 30! Your friendship has risen to a new level! Ying Yue has started to treat you as her family. "
"Family? Just like me and Wei Youfu? "Han Fei lifted his head to look into the distance. To his surprise, the neighbours were looking at him as well.
Everyone knew what happened to Ying Yue and they pitied the blind girl but they were powerless to help her.
But now Han Fei had appeared. The weakest Han Fei always managed to bring miracles.
Ying Yue's wish was almost fulfilled by Han Fei, everyone could see that.
In terms of power, Han Fei was far weaker than the previous building manager but even if the previous building manager was revived, they would stand by Han Fei's side because the previous building manager had never helped them like this before.
The previous building manager's treatment was mostly about forceful sealing and forgetting but Han Fei had truly walked into the ghost's heart and helped them wholeheartedly.
Another few notifications came from the system. The news of Han Fei helping Ying Yue with her obsession had spread among the tenants of the Ziggurat. Everyone subconsciously gathered around Han Fei.
"My current power is limited, I can only help a small portion of you but in the future, I will make sure none of you will have any regrets."
Han Fei made the best use of his time. When Ying Yue returned, there was another doll in her hand.
Ying Yue walked silently to Han Fei's side. She did not seem to want to leave.
She gripped Han Fei's shirt, she tried her best to help Han Fei upgrade his ghost tattoo but this time Han Fei rejected her.
"When you're strong enough to upgrade my ghost tattoo, then you can help me." Ying Yue already had a hard time shoving the nine lives into the ghost tattoo at the pet shop. If she tried to upgrade Han Fei's ghost tattoo again, it would be very harmful to her.
Han Fei was doing this for Ying Yue's sake. This was the first time someone had done this for her since she was murdered.
Ying Yue retreated to Han Fei's side as if she wanted to stay close to Han Fei to protect him.
After losing her family, Ying Yue valued her family more than anyone else. She would not allow her family to be harmed again.
Han Fei now had a 'little tail'. As long as he did not chase Ying Yue away, Ying Yue would stay by his side silently.
"Every time I see you helping others, it's like you're helping yourself." A voice came from inside the mirror. It was the Mirror God. "Don't forget our promise, I need wandering souls to be my body! If that's not possible, that Huang Yin will do. "
"He's my sworn brother. Mirror God, I think you should find someone else. Strange, I've consumed his last bit of luck last time but now he seems to have a new one. I'll have to feed it to him again next time. " Before Han Fei could say anything, Lee Zai chimed in. It was obvious that Huang Yin was quite popular in the underworld.
The group argued. Such a simple scene was so beautiful in the cryptic world that it was almost surreal. The tenants of the Ziggurat were shocked. Ghosts could do this to their neighbours?
Good systems did not need to be forced to change, people would learn on their own and slowly change.
Han Fei wanted to make use of this opportunity to say more but a loud bang came from the 4th floor. The group hurried to the 4th floor.
The door of Room 4044 was slammed against the wall. The ground was covered in cracked shells and black blood. The group turned to look inside the room. A black shadow shot towards Han Fei like lightning.
Xu Qin and Ying Yue's attacks were evaded by the shadow. Han Fei, who only had 1 HP left, immediately wanted to log off but unfortunately he was not done with the mission.
"Am I going to die?"
The shadow exuded a thick aura of death and misfortune. It stopped several centimetres away from Han Fei.
"Great Sin?"
Great Sin, whose body had obviously changed, circled around Han Fei like a cat that smelled fish but couldn't eat the dried fish.
It could feel that Han Fei was so close to death, it was too tempting!
Great Sin stomped its feet in agitation. Han Fei was given quite a fright as well.
He had survived so many storms but to die at the hands of his own pet, how shameful would that be?
"After I recover my HP, I'll play with you again." Han Fei's voice was shaking. He took several steps back and observed Great Sin from afar.
After a few days, Great Sin finally consumed half of the heart inside the Butterfly Altar. It had also gone through a molting process.
Now it radiated a sense of danger and mystery, it radiated a special kind of charm.
Han Fei did not dare touch Great Sin so he had no idea how much Great Sin's attributes had increased. However, based on how easily it evaded Xu Qin and Ying Yue's attempts, it was clear that this little monster was much stronger than before.
"You dare to eat things inside the Butterfly Altar, you're a real tiger."
It would have been fine if Han Fei didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, Big Evil would immediately run over and couldn't be driven away.
"I'm sure other people's pet dogs aren't as friendly as you."
One HP was indeed too inconvenient. Han Fei decided to bring forward his plan. He gathered all the tenants and neighbours he could trust and shared his crazy idea with them.
"The previous manager of Happiness Neighbourhood left me a map. I've memorized all the roads around the Ziggurat and the Ziggurat. Now I'm going to share this information with you all." Han Fei dipped his finger in the blood and started to draw on the wall. "The eastern side of the Ziggurat, Ancestral Hall Street, is the territory of a plastic surgery hospital. The most dangerous place in that area is the plastic surgery hospital. Further east is a very strange amusement park. The mannequins on the 9th floor of Happiness Neighbourhood came from there."
Han Fei pointed at the most inconspicuous corner where a mannequin wearing a strange mask stood.
It once wanted to challenge the previous manager, Fu Sheng but it was trapped on the 9th floor by Fu Sheng.
"I need all of you to use Han Fei's name and pretend you're from the plastic surgery hospital. Then you'll cause a commotion at the amusement park." Han Fei was in desperate need of reputation. He used to keep a low profile. Those who knew of his existence would either become his friends or he would kill them all. This caused his reputation to be low.
"From now onwards, all of you will be called Han Fei. We'll use this name as a symbol, a burning torch. We'll make this name known to as many people as possible." Han Fei decided to stop hiding his identity.
There was no such thing as the Unspeakable in this world. When everyone knew the name but no one dared to mention it, the Unspeakable would come into being.
Han Fei had no idea what kind of ghost it was referring to, but he planned to transform himself into that kind of 'ghost'.
"There's a relatively safe path on the previous manager's map. You'll need to walk along the edges of these few areas. After we enter the amusement park, our plan will be halfway there."
The Ziggurat did not even have a complete Hatred. If the Hatred from the plastic surgery hospital came out, everyone would be doomed.
Instead of waiting for them to make their move, Han Fei might as well make the first move, that was Han Fei's style.
"The shards of Life String at Ancestral Hall Street will come in handy. I'll need to discuss the details with Mirror God."
Han Fei did a good job at keeping his identity a secret. Everyone who knew Han Fei's name at the Ziggurat had either befriended him or died. There was no third outcome.
Therefore, people from other areas had no idea Han Fei was the new owner of the Ziggurat. The Hatred from the plastic surgery hospital was very mysterious, no one knew the secret of the Hatred.
Based on these two points, Han Fei decided to disguise himself as the most mysterious Hatred from the plastic surgery hospital.
"My pet dared to eat the altar and the Unspeakable cried after seeing me a few times. A scary person like me should be more than enough to play the role of the Hatred."
He would definitely encounter a lot of difficulties in the real operation, but he didn't have a better way now.
He carefully selected the people that he planned to send out. He reminded them of the things they needed to pay attention to and emphasized that they had to use his name.
In the cryptic world, even the Hatred did not dare reveal its real name but Han Fei volunteered to let everyone use his name. This warmed everyone's heart.
