Chapter 866: Into the Hospital

The weak light cut through the darkness and shone weakly on the ground. It was almost noon, but the sky was still dark.

“Teacher Gao, I still don’t agree with your decision. We still have time to regret it.” Yan Lan and Wang Chuqing followed behind the kids of Class Seven. They thought Han Fei was crazy for trying to bring the kids out for a test. The adults wouldn’t have time to protect them when dealing with Pure Hatred.

“How about we come with you?” After Han Fei got No. 2’s permission, he decided to bring the teachers along. The doors of the multiple checkpoints opened. The cars rolled out, and at the back of the team were three black cars. The last two cars were driven by the logistics people. The cars were filled with various supplies. The two patients Han Fei saved from the hospital were in this car too. Han Fei was the teacher of Class Seven. He thought a class that had a 100 percent rate of persona users. The center wanted to know how he managed to do that. Therefore, even though people thought he was unreasonable, no one stopped him. After all, in the tragedy, no persona user was going to awaken in comfort. The cars drove down the street. When the center arrived at Third Mental Hospital, it was the brightest hour of the day.

“The ghost territory has expanded.” Two new buildings were added to the hospital. It didn’t look out of place. They felt like they were there in the first place. “The Third Mental Hospital is one of the famous Black Buildings. We started our investigation into it a few years ago. We’ve paid a lot to investigate it. We’ve been preparing for this day.” Xue Ba had his members move the equipment. He found Han Fei and placed the security devices around the students of Class Seven. “Once we start the mission, we might not have time for these children. You better have them stay far away.”

“Okay.” Han Fei drove the students to a building designated by No. 2. This was a children’s clothes store. It was facing the hospital’s backdoor.

“We’ll leave the mission of killing the Pure Hatred to others. Your main mission is to find the can.” No. 2 looked at the hospital, and his expression was scary. “The thing inside the can is very important to me. After I have it, we can turn this around.”

“Don’t worry.” Han Fei had a hide-and-seek talent, so looking for things wouldn’t be hard for him. As if worried, No. 2 cut his hand and dripped his blood on a piece of white paper. Then he drew a lot of strange symbols on the paper and folded it into a paper plane. “When you’re lost, this will help you navigate the maze of fate.”

When Han Fei touched the plane, the system rang out. “Notification for Player 0000! You’ve obtained the mission object—Fate’s Guidance. Carrying this object will increase your chance of gaining a Grade D Cursed Object.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve obtained the hidden mission—Brain inside the Can.

“Brain inside the Can: Perhaps the world we see is just dreams. Every one of us lives inside a can. This is your only chance to get close to the truth. Hopefully, you can grasp it.

“Mission requirement: Find No. 2’s brain fragment inside the altar world.”

In this worst future, No. 2 didn’t die fully, but his brain fell into Gao Xing’s hands. The booming sound interrupted Han Fei’s thoughts. He turned to the hospital. The surrounding buildings had been leveled. The ghost territory was unaffected.

“All tactical units are ready!”

“Investigation team 2 ready!”

“Patrol Team 1 ready!”

The middle-aged woman’s song disappeared, and only silence remained. The buildings were like a beast sitting in the dark. The feeling was very oppressive.

“I don’t hear the sound of any fight. This Pure Hatred understands humanity. It uses every means to evoke fear in people’s hearts.”

There was no exit and no reinforcement. Han Fei was abandoned. Every step was a challenge.

A scream appeared not far from Han Fei. It was the voice of someone from Team 10. Han Fei had just talked to him. Han Fei pushed open the door of the main building and ran towards the scream. At the corner, a young man was nailed to the cross, and blood poured out of his body.

“Hang in there!”

Han Fei pulled the young woman down and opened the first-aid box. He bandaged the wound. “I remember your name is Zheng Li, right? Who attacked you? Is it still around?”

“It’s the priest. He’s the fear in my heart. He’s back! He’s in this building too...”

“Priest?”

“When I was young, a gentleman priest lived in my building. When the adults were busy with work, they would have the priest look after the children. I discovered the priest’s secret. He liked to collect children’s skin and blood to make paintings out of them.” Zheng Li’s voice was shaking. “He threatened me. If I exposed him, he would kill me. No one would believe a child...”

“Did you call the police?”

“The priest kept me locked up until very late at night. He destroyed all the evidence and disappeared. I thought that was the end, but whenever I was at home alone, the phone would ring, and the priest’s voice would come through the line. He said he was looking at me from outside the window, and he was outside the door...” At that moment, the phone rang again. “It’s back!”

Zheng Li’s face was pale as she curled in the corner. These members were well-trained. Normal fear wouldn’t affect them.

Han Fei ignored the girl’s resistance and picked her up, and ran toward the source of the phone. He kicked the door down. It was not a ward but a girl’s bedroom. The girl’s parents loved her a lot. The room was very nice, but for Zheng Li, this place was her nightmare. Han Fei answered the phone, and a strange man’s voice said, “I am watching you!”

“Do you want to meet me then?” Han Fei shoved black mist into the phone. The voice became distorted and then disappeared. Finally, he summoned Wu Chang. He wanted Wu Chang to follow the ghost through the phone line, but Wu Chang couldn’t do that. Han Fei frowned and summoned the Executioner. The two Large Lingering Spirits still couldn’t shatter the illusion. The room was still how Zheng Li hated it.

“The director knows how to use our deepest fear. It is not simple.”
