Han Fei thought about the last few sentences Ghost had said until he disappeared.

“Are we going to the theme park now?” Lee Guo Er left the car with the invitation. “After the flesh butterfly was killed, we’ve gained 9 points. We’re at 99 points now.”

“Are we missing 1 point?”

“Normally, killing a Malice will grant 10 points. I also have no idea what went wrong.” Lee Guo Er handed the invitation to Han Fei. “Once the other players know we have 99 points, they will stop at nothing to kill us.”

“If killing one Malice is not enough, then we’ll kill ten to dye the card red.” Yan Yue suddenly spoke. “The purpose of the death game is to select new managers. Managers can’t kill only.”

“Do you know how to gain the last point?”

“You have two solutions. The first is to kill the other players like the previous Brain. The second is to save people.”

“Save people?”

“Yes. Actually, you’ll gain points from saving people, but the gain is very small. It is far less conspicuous than killing. But for this last point, you need to save people.” Yan Yue’s mother didn’t hide anything. She knew how hard it was to gather 100 points. “I’ve never heard anyone clearing the game with 100 points, so I have no idea how many people you have to save.”

“Have I saved not enough people?” Han Fei lowered his head to look at Rest in Peace. “The death game is to select the Brain manager. If Lee Gou Er gets 100 points, she might become the next Brain. If I gain the approval of Ghost, then we’ll have two spots of the five managers.”

It was hard, but Han Fei didn’t plan to give up.

“Let Mad Laughter do his work. He’ll be the bad guy, and I’ll be the good guy. When every citizen realizes the theme park is the source of tragedy and stop fighting each other, things will be easier.” Han Fei immediately launched into his plan. He had Big Sin order the water ghosts and led the special citizens to hunt ghosts. The citizens handled the normal lingering spirits. Han Fei only dealt with Malice and twisted monsters. In one night, Han Fei cleaned up to ten streets close to Happiness Neighborhood. However, he realized the monsters were impossible to eliminate fully. To have the city running again, he’d need the help of more special citizens. A singular person’s strength was limited. Thankfully Han Fei understood that, and he had been training the special citizens. The hospital, school, and food processing factory, Han Fei reclaimed the buildings one after another. He soon reached the broadcast center and television station. F and his adopted father broadcasted the smear campaign against him here, and now, he wanted to have everyone see his real self. After clearing out the tv station, Han Fei had the workers hiding there to start the broadcast. With a few camera people’s help, the videos of him saving the citizens were captured on camera. As more citizens were rescued by Han Fei, they became his supporters. Han Fei’s name spread through the city. He used actual actions to turn the public opinion of him. As the signal was reconnected, more special citizens gained contact with the survivors at Happiness Neighborhood. The collapsed social network was reconnected.

It didn’t matter if the sun didn’t rise again. The most important thing was light had returned to people’s eyes. Han Fei was trying to send a message, in this city, everyone could be the sun. Many special citizens stood forward and started to form rescue groups. People started to categorize the ghosts and conquered their fear to analyze their weaknesses. Many died in this tragedy, but humanity hadn’t been defeated. Kindness and sin collided in every part of the city. To survive, everyone had done their best.

Han Fei used four days to vanquish all the Malice in the script, saved more than ten thousand survivors, and helped recover order to 1/4 of the city. Finally, Lee Guo Er’s card started to change. The dark number on the card turned blood red. Then, the number became a small theme park map. Upon closer inspection, one of the theme park buildings was marked.

“I finally understand why it’s an invitation. Only by getting 100 points that the invitee can see the address.”

“Is it over now?” The people around Han Fei were excited, especially the players who had once followed F. They could remember what F said. F said that they could return to real life after they gained 100 points.

“Han Fei, let us go now! I can’t wait anymore!” The lifeguard shouted. He couldn’t control his emotions. He had lived in hell for far too long. Different from the lifeguard, Qiang Wei was worried. He didn’t know what Han Fei would do. A few players were nervous too. They were afraid that Han Fei would abandon them.

“We’ve used almost a week to reconstruct basic rules in this city after the mutation. Now, these special citizens can protect everyone. We can leave now.” Han Fei had all the players pack their things. He wouldn’t leave anyone behind.

“Boss, let us go with you.” Ah Meng wanted to go with Han Fei. Once he spoke, many special citizens joined. Over the past few days, Han Fei slowly gained their trust. Every tragedy was due to the theme park. From their perspective, Han Fei was going to fight the last boss.

“In this city, many people are still struggling with death. What I need you to do now is to save people!” Han Fei called the strongest citizens to his side. “I might need to leave for a long time. You need to figure out more ways to coexist with ghosts. Don’t just consume them. Remember, they were once humans too.”

“Understood.” Zhao Gu couldn’t bear to part with Han Fei. He was his teacher and father figure. “When will you come back?”

“When the sun comes up again.”

Han Fei was ready. When all the players were ready, they headed to the theme park. The closer they were to the theme park, the more chaotic things were. There were madmen and monsters everywhere. Many people seemed infected by the laughing disease. They were drawn by something in the theme park. They moved mindlessly towards the theme park while cackling.

Han Fei mimicked Mad Laughter and stuck Big Sin into the ghost tattoo to prevent discovery by the theme park. With full cooperation from Big Sin, Han Fei finally succeeded. His ghost tattoo was inky black. If he were not careful, his body would explode. They avoided the ghosts. The laughing mad people didn’t seem interested in Han Fei’s group too. They reached the theme park without facing many obstacles.

There were many giant red eyeballs suspended above the theme park. They bled blood tears. Blood vessels dangled from the eyeballs.

Inside the theme park, all the attractions became eerie and scary. They looked more like giant killing machines. Lives ended in screams, but more people got on the rides like they couldn’t wait to experience death. The people inside the theme park had lost their minds. They seemed possessed. Even some of the theme park workers had lost it.

“Is this the theme park at night? It’s so different from how it is in the day.” Worm was afraid. He reached out to cover Fu Tian’s eyes. “I don’t think children should see this.”

Human heads decorated the tall walls. Warm blood dyed the walls red. Many clothes and last effects were scattered on the ground. The theme park was like a meat cruncher running at full speed.

“There should still be at least two more managers in the theme park. Why aren’t they handling this?” Yan Yue’s mother was shocked when she saw her former workplace. “This shouldn’t be! Even Dream wouldn’t have created something as chaotic as this!”

“Dream is a criminal who likes to manipulate people. However, the theme park is now facing a complete madman. No one really knows how scary he can be.” Han Fei had used 99 deaths to empty his memory to unleash Mad Laughter. No one could really imagine what Mad Laughter would do.

The cars stopped not far away from an abandoned building. Everyone got down and put on their masks. “I’ve left a small curse on everyone, and you can sense each other when you’re close. After we enter the theme park, you have to stick close to me, or you might die.” Han Fei and the other players put on the smiling mask.

“Those are probably the players who haven’t received the invitation. We know the real destination, so we should be fine.” Worm comforted himself. The players were excited, but when they saw the hell at the theme park, they became nervous.

“You can survive after crossing this last obstacle. You have no other choice.” Han Fei held Fu Tian’s hand and walked in front. The cackling mad people avoided them. The group entered from the front entrance and started the last scene of this memory world—the theme park.

Once they crossed the gate, the world became so noisy. Laughter almost pierced their eardrums. Everyone was laughing in this theme park. They couldn’t stop. They laughed when running, playing, and crying. Even when they died, they were still laughing.

“They seem to be playing all the rides here. What’s the goal?”

The theme park was crowded. Other than the laughing people, there were masked visitors, dull theme park workers, and ghosts possessing humans.

The scene couldn’t be described. Han Fei was shocked when he first entered, but he soon calmed down and assessed all the visitors.

Based on his deal with Mad Laughter, Mad Laughter should be hiding inside one of the visitors. He hadn’t left the theme park. Probably the managers hadn’t even found him.

“I’ve underestimated him if he can create this much chaos on his own.” Han Fei’s goal was clear. He wanted to reach the address on the invitation before attention was pulled to his group. The theme park grew in size after the mutation. It was humongous. Many bloody riders were like monsters from hell.

“This is the way. Move!” The players followed closely behind Han Fei. They passed by several rides until they reached a cluster of strange buildings.
