“Big Sin’s body is still being tortured. No matter what, I have to save its body.” Han Fei knew how powerful Big Sin was. It was hard to dismember it, so the people at Hope City couldn’t be underestimated. With the black merchant’s help, Han Fei communicated with the straggling ghosts. He decided to steal Big Sin’s body in the most direct way so he couldn’t expose his identity as a member of the center. The best solution was to disguise himself as a ghost.
“The people in the city are the most afraid of ghosts, but they have no idea many humans are ghosts in disguise.” Power was alluring. Once they had power, they could control many things.
Han Fei didn’t return to the center. When the sun sank below the horizon, the broken figurines around the city lit up.
“I’m the criminal and the judge. I can’t be bound by the rules if I want to survive in this chaotic world.” The black eyes opened behind Han Fei. Big Sin could sense the location of its body. It was split into five parts and kept in the labs around the outer ring of Hope City. A lot of professional members studied Big Sin’s body endlessly.
“The limbs, shell, torso, heart...” Han Fei memorized the location of all the buildings. He looked at them in the dark. “Hope City is heavily corroded. There are admins dealing with ghosts. The peace is only temporary because they are planning to sacrifice the city on God’s birthday!”
Han Fei stood up, and black mist exuded from behind him. “Today, I’m going to tear through the false image and wake people up from their sweet dream.”
There was a balance among the admins of Hope City. One side wanted to negotiate with the ghosts, while the other planned to fight the ghosts to the bitter end. When Hope City was first built, the latter had the majority, but as time passed and peace reigned, people forgot about dangers and became complacent.
Han Fei wasn’t familiar with the infighting, but he planned to give the fighting side a big gift that night. They needed to stand up so that they could protect the city when God’s birthday arrived.
“I didn’t want to do this, but there’s no better choice.” Unfamiliar Pure Hatreds rapidly approached. Han Fei’s gaze sharpened. He had the black merchant use the broken figurine to lure two Pure Hatreds closest to Hope City out of their Black Buildings. Then, they would have a conflict with the city patrols. When most of them were distracted, Han Fei would sneak into the labs. The broken figurines had the presence of an unfamiliar Unmentionable. This was highly alluring to Pure Hatreds.
“Be ready!”
After the altar world entered the second stage, Pure Hatreds could move freely. Han Fei walked out of the shadow. He took out a paper mask he had prepared earlier, and his body was enveloped by the paper doll. “In the future, the red paper doll will be Hope City’s nightmare...”
Hope City was familiar with the Pure Hatred around it. They had practiced this a lot. The patrols soon congregated. The citizens were being moved away. The barriers were set up. Everything was progressing neatly. However, they didn’t expect someone who could sneak ghosts past the perimeter. As long as he didn’t open the greed abyss, the devices couldn’t detect the ghosts Han Fei had.
Black mist opened behind Han Fei like a pair of devil’s wings. Many eyes opened up in the abyss. Several Pure Hatreds cut through the night. Han Fei shattered the peace that had reigned in Hope City for years!
“Bring everyone you can see into the abyss!”
Han Fei opened the last door and saw a crystal materialized in tragedy. It was Big Sin’s beating heart. It also looked like a newborn.
“Your heart... is hidden inside another you? If your actual self dies, it will be reborn in your heart?” This was Han Fei’s first time seeing Big Sin’s heart. The presence of tragedy was so strong that even seven layers of protection couldn’t filter it out. The ghosts inside the heart were excited. No matter how much Big Sin had changed, it was still close to Han Fei. After all, only Han Fei could bring that near-death experience often.
“Only Unmentionable can fully kill you, you little monster.” Han Fei touched Big Sin’s eyes. His conversation with Big Sin shocked the researcher. There were survivors who kept pets after the tragedy, but the researcher hadn’t met anyone who kept eyeballs as pets.
“Come out. We’ll go and find your other body parts.” The blade cut through the protective layers. The heart jumped at Han Fei anxiously.
“Since the abyss is open, there’s no need to hide anymore.”
The giant axe cut through the roof. The mist poured down and enveloped the whole building. Everything that saw the abyss was eaten.
Standing on the rooftop, Han Fei looked at the city that had been sunken into chaos. As the siren rang, he leaped downwards!
The black mist was like the ocean. Big fish carried Han Fei’s body. As he moved to the next building, the group of black merchants was ready! They split into three teams and swore to rescue Big Sin’s dismembered body!
“The powerful persona users from Hope City should be here. However, even Fu Lie can’t stop me now, much less the others.”
Han Fei moved in the mist. The headmaster, the girl, Fear Demon, and the white-haired woman floated behind him.
