Chapter 800: The Return
Chapter 800: The Return
“The owner of the brain is still alive?” This was very surprising to Han Fei. Based on his analysis, No. 2 should only have a shattered brain left, but somehow he was still alive. God’s roar came from the flesh. It thundered and poured outside the skyscraper. The sleeping God was awakening!
“Notification for Player 0000! Every Grade D Brain Fragment has its own special power. Some can retain memory, some can create illusions, and some can copy souls. The Unmentionable’s power has been split into different fragments! After you gain its approval, there’s a chance for you to use the power inherent within each brain fragment! “Notification for Player 0000! You’ve gained the approval of the brain fragment!”
“Soul Separation (Unique Power of Grade D Brain Fragment): It can separate part of your soul and memory to create a new entity! But be careful when using this power! If the separated entity stays too long outside, it might not be able to return to you!”
When Han Fei made the choice, he gained the approval of No. 2. He was quite touched, “No. 2 is the cleverest kid. He knew that I’m a trustworthy person.”
God’s consciousness still hadn’t faded away. However, Han Fei had already earned the fragment’s approval. The fragment was no longer bound to the floor. The flesh walls on the floor started to wilt. Many flesh flowers bloomed in Han Fei’s sight. “I can see your fate. All your fates lead to despair. You are not escaping from here!” God’s voice faltered. Blood washed away. The 25th floor sunk into absolute darkness.
“In that case, we’ll feast on your sacrifice and sit on your grave.” At this point, there was no use being afraid. Therefore, Han Fei couldn’t care less about God’s warning. He took No. 2’s brain fragment and turned around. There was darkness behind Han Fei, but he could sense a bloody man standing there. He was looking at him. “I was pulled by No. 2 into his memory. Using his high intelligence, he planted some ideas into my mind.” Han Fei raised the amber. “The only person who can help us conditionally is ourselves.”
The fragment turned brighter. The memory inside the fragment was like ice floating on the river of time. It was fragile and beautiful. Mad Laughter didn’t take over Han Fei’s body. In Han Fei’s memory, this was the calmest Mad Laughter had ever been. He could feel a hand touching the brain fragment with him. No. 2’s lingering memory led them to a Life Door. He pushed the door open. There was a monster made from dead bodies sitting inside the room. He was similar to the orphanage director in No. 2’s memory, but his eyes had been dug away.
“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve discovered floor 25’s core Taboo. In No. 2’s eyes, the super intelligent director is a powerful presence, so his memory’s Taboo morphed into the director’s appearance. Perhaps you can try to use the fragment to control it.”
Han Fei didn’t hesitate. He approached the director with the fragment. The amber touched the director’s hollow eye sockets. Han Fei discovered that the fragment’s unique power, Soul Separation was triggered.
No. 2 wanted Han Fei or Mad Laughter to leave Han Fei’s body to control the director. However, he didn’t expect that the fragment was not strong to affect Mad Laughter or Han Fei’s soul. Even though they had different experiences and personalities, they were inseparable. Soul Separation was triggered. Mad Laughter was not affected. The negative emotions and malice in Han Fei’s mind were triggered. The chains around the Red Orphanage broke apart. The soul that represented evil was pulled out of Han Fei’s mind.
The director’s eyes filled with malice and hatred. When the power activated, the director opened his bloodred eyes. The gaze was Han Fei’s, but it was filled with evil. Director moved his neck, and endless capillaries connected his body. He looked down at Han Fei and said in a sinister tone. “Evil Soul, we meet again.”
Han Fei’s Evil Soul, which was created by the Butterfly, was pulled out of Han Fei’s mind by Soul Separation. Han Fei heard the man and instantly understood what had happened. “There was a bit of problem with No. 2’s plan. Mad Laughter and I are still together. He has pulled out my evil soul instead.” Han Fei rubbed his temples and looked at the director. “Can you affect this floor using the director body? If you can, I wish to make this floor into a safe zone.”
“I can, but why should I listen to you?” Ambition flickered in the director’s eyes. “Because I’m the kind soul? You’re the evil soul. You might be setting up a trap for me.”
“Brother, how am I the Evil Soul?” Han Fei felt so wrong. He was split into three souls back then. He was mistaken by his own Evil Soul to be the evil soul. He didn’t even know how to explain himself. “If you think I’m the evil soul, look behind me. See what kind of soul he is.”
The director looked behind Han Fei. Endless fate threads appeared out of his body. Slowly, the director discovered something. He took a step back. “Who is that bloody ghost?”
“That’s the other me or the other us.” Han Fei liked to see his Evil Soul be shocked. “So he’s the real Evil Soul. It’s terrifying.” The director cleared up the relationship in his mind. His ambition dwindled. “Since he’s the evil soul, then I’m definitely the kind soul…”
“Brother, can you please spread your influence across this floor? I wish to fetch everyone here.” Han Fei urged.
“Stop rushing me. I’m already doing this.” The director rolled his eyes. Before absolute sin, even the Evil Soul looked kind. The blood vessels around the director crawled away. The God possessing the brain fragment dissipated. This floor was now controlled fully by Evil Soul.
“What a cruel monster. To create this body, the consciousness that controlled this body had killed endless people. Their resentment has been forcibly twisted together. And everything has been carefully calculated. All the ghosts fight each other so that the consciousness can control everything with the least amount of effort.” The director could still grow. If the skyscraper was God’s brother, No. 2’s brain fragment was a festering wound. As long as God didn’t clean it up, the wound would spread further.
Half an hour later, Han Fei got the system notification.
“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve discovered the Taboo, Director!
“Director (The Taboo created by the Unmentionable): He can unleash the power of a Pure Hatred within the area covered by blood and flesh. However, he can only move within the territory tainted by his blood and flesh.” At the same time, Evil Soul had completed his final transmutation. His body became even more bent. He could fade into darkness at any time.
“Alright. We control this floor now.” Evil Soul laughed exaggeratedly. He liked the feeling of being strong. He loved to control the enemy’s life and enemy.
“Come. Let’s go fetch our friends.” Han Fei, with 1 Life Point, stood in the middle. Before he was a Big Sin radiating death, behind him was a bloody ghost that signified madness, and beside him stood the director made from endless carcasses. The group walked down the corridor, and it felt like the place was infiltrated by darkness. The feeling was hard to describe. The four of them could represent despair in the world.
“Can you stay away from me?” Han Fei only had one Life Point. He was afraid of dying because he was accidentally brushed by his Evil Soul.
“What’s wrong?” Evil Soul looked down at Han Fei. He was so tall that he could control all the shadows on this floor. “Do you feel dwarfed? It’s alright. You’re cute like this.”
Han Fei’s lips twitched. He switched on the masterful acting in his mind. “I shouldn’t argue with myself.” They walked down the corridor and soon returned to Ji Zheng’s room. When Han Fei opened the door, the people inside were scared. Who would have thought that Han Fei would bring the Taboo to their door?
After a quick explanation, Ji Zheng looked at Han Fei like he was a monster. He couldn’t understand this.
“We need to move. God may wake up at any time.” Currently, the 25th floor was the safest, but when God awakened, the first floor to be destroyed would be the 25th floor. Everyone understood that. They split up the job and started the next phase of the plan.
Ji Zheng and Li Rou used the elevator card to go downstairs to fetch the victims. Han Fei used Evil Soul to lead the crazed killers to his side. He tried to trigger missions on them. If he failed, he would kill them and feed them to Big Sin.
With Evil Soul’s help, Han Fei only used one hour to clear the 25th floor. He had four more Ghost Cards and collected 19 names for Big Sin. He also reached level 26.
In Perfect Life, every 10 level was a new threshold. When Han Fei was level 30, he could unlock his third hidden profession and gain many new things.
