Chapter 943: Fear in Real Life
Han Fei's despairing memory didn't disappear. They percolated in his mind. This was also the first time Han Fei felt the existence of the black box so clearly. The present radiated a power that only Han Fei could control.
"There will no longer be any more red orphanages."
Han Fei walked down the corridor. At the same time, all the sirens at the building rang. The siren flashed red.
"What's going on?" The worker and Assistant Tao were confused. Everything was fine earlier. How come the highest alert suddenly rang?
"They have made their move. It looks like Gao Xing still wants to open the tunnel on this day, but the plan has been moved ahead for a few hours." Gao Xing carved his most anticipated day into his altar world. This day was the most important for him. He wouldn't give it up so easily. The siren flickered. It made the place look like it was streaked with blood.
"You look like you're bleeding..." The worker was the first to notice the problem. He pointed at Han Fei. "Look at him! He's covered in blood! And children are laughing!" Assistant Tao didn't feel anything at first, but once the worker said that, he also saw the bloody Han Fei.
"Calm down. Don't be fooled by illusions." Han Fei turned to look at them. The two staggered back when they saw Han Fei's bloody face.
"This is probably Gao Xing using his power. Is the ghost from your world that scary in real life? We should be quite far away from him. Even Butterfly can't manage this." Huang Yin commented. He didn't realize that he said 'your world'.
"Unmentionable and Pure Hatred are wildly different." Han Fei pressed the worker to the wall. He wanted to use his healing persona to heal the man like how he did in the altar world. However, he failed to do so. It only scared the man even more. "Strange." Han Fei clearly felt that the black box had given him something, but he didn't know how to use it.
"Follow me quietly. You can't run faster than me anyway." Han Fei said.
After observing Assistant Tao and the worker, Han Fei was certain that Gao Xing had used something close to the ghost territory inside Immortal Skyscraper. A long time ago, he participated in a variety show. Pure Hatred used its power, and all the celebrities were affected by illusions.
"Pure Hatreds can't kill humans directly. They have to influence humans. Unmentionables might not have that limitation. We need to be extra careful." Han Fei pulled Assistant Tao to his side. He looked into the man's eyes. "Do not listen to outside voices. If you are scared, call my name in your heart, and don't think about anything else."
"Call your name?"
"At least I won't harm you." Han Fei led them to the elevator booth. Even though Han Fei grumbled about the unlucky player, the man was innocent. Therefore, Han Fei wanted to save him. "There should be enough time. If not, I'll find him the best grave and provide him with endless paper money." The elevator slowly opened. Two candles were placed in the corner, and an ugly mud figurine was placed in the center. Before the figurine was a broken finger, a strand of long, black hair, a mask, and some broken fingernails.
"Why are these things here?"
The candlelight extinguished the moment Han Fei entered the elevator.
"How about we take the stairs?" The worker shook. The world he saw was different from Han Fei. Everyone around him was bleeding profusely.
"Are you afraid of it?" Han Fei picked up the mud figurine that looked like Gao Xing. "In my memory, the last Unmentionable who walked out of the red orphanage was Gao Xing. He turned Twinflower into his creation. Now, fate has taken a full circle." Han Fei crushed the figurine. "Letting you see your mother one last time is my final act of mercy."
After the figurine was destroyed, screams echoed everywhere. Dust fell on the ground. They gathered to form screaming faces. The strange atmosphere didn't stop because the figurine was destroyed.
"Get into the elevator. We're going to Lab No. 4," Han Fei dragged the worker into the elevator. At that moment, footsteps came from behind them. It was another worker from the waste disposal center. He had his head lowered. He stumbled around like he was drunk.
"Xiao Lee?" The worker beside Han Fei shouted like he had seen hope. He struggled loose from Han Fei and ran to his colleague. "Are you alright?"
Xiao Lee didn't answer. When the man was before him, Xiao Lee's shoulders shook. He whipped his head up. A piece of human model meat dangled on his lips. Xiao Lee's face was covered in tears. "Leader, I've killed someone! Help me!" Xiao Lee's emotions frayed. He took out pieces of fake human meat from his pocket. "I've killed so many people! They talked to me! They are looking for me!"
The worker was stunned. He took several steps back. "Xiao Lee, snap out of it! They are not humans!"
"Are they not humans?" Xiao Lee started to chew. Blood slid down his lips to mix with his tears. "You're lying. They taste like humans!" Xiao Lee's eyes darted about. He grabbed the worker. "What to do? Now you know about my sins..." The voice became harsh. Xiao Lee looked at the worker. He took out the tool he normally used to kill the fake humans. "I need to make sure that you're silent! You can't let them know!"
Han Fei came over in time and snapped Xiao Lee's arm.
"Is Gao Xing's ability to trigger the latent criminal instinct in people?" Han Fei found a rope to tie up Xiao Lee. It was to prevent Xiao Lee from hurting himself.
"There's someone talking in his mind, confusing him." Assistant Tao walked over.
"This is probably Unmentionable's mental corruption." Han Fei walked back to the elevator. "We might run into more similar researchers. Remember. No matter how close you were to them, don't trust anyone here." Huang Yin and Assistant Tao moved to follow Han Fei. Just like the altar world, the worker quickly did the same.
"Gao Xing knew that his altar had been destroyed, but he still pushed the plan forward. What is his trump card? How powerful is an Unmentionable in real life?"
The number on the elevator panel changed. Han Fei gripped his fists. He hadn't dealt with an Unmentionable in real life before. The screaming became more consistent. However, all the tragedies were hidden underground. To protect the company, the underground was cut off from the rest of the world.
The elevator suddenly shook. Han Fei then heard someone knocking on the elevator door.
The elevator finally stopped on the 15th floor. The knocking became more insistent.
"Be ready." Han Fei stood at the front. The door opened to reveal a small mud figurine.
"Was it this thing that was knocking on the door?" The worker closed his eyes. Han Fei was unfazed. He picked up the figurine and cracked it.
Han Fei left the elevator but realized the knocking didn't stop. He looked around, but there was nothing.
"Can you still hear the knocking?" Han Fei asked in a whisper.
"After you broke the figurine, it stopped." Huang Yin noticed the change in Han Fei's expression. "Is something wrong?"
Han Fei shook his head. "I'm not sure. The knocking appears to be a hint. Does this mean they are knocking on the door between the two worlds, and only the children of despair can hear it?"
