Chapter 927: Hell in Immortal Pharma
Blood and nutrient mixture flooded the whole floor. The water level kept rising, and the air was stinky. "How did a lab pursuing immortality end up like this? Is this punishment for looking down on the nature of life?" Han Fei stood on the hub. The real world wasn't that much better than the cryptic world.
Han Fei leaped through the various tanks and came to the southeast side of the lab. A strange sound came from the tank underneath him. The blood overflowed. Something inside was awakening. Han Fei pried the door open. Ah Nian in a labcoat crawled out. He collapsed into the pool of blood and gasped for air.
"Brother Nian? Have you been hiding here?" Han Fei didn't expect to encounter Ah Nian.
"Why did you come so late? I thought you'd come here immediately since you had since my memory and knew this was where the tragedy started." Ah Nian kept coughing up blood. His face was pale.
"Something happened." Han Fei confirmed the man was Ah Nian using Soul-depth touch. "Why would you hide inside the resting tank?"
"If I didn't react sooner, you wouldn't see me here." Ah Nian said with fear. "After I woke up inside the building, I ran to Lab No. 4. My sons were still there, but before I could find them, a group of crazy people in masks came in. They tinkered with the chambers and turned all the slumbering people here into sacrifices."
"What do you mean?"
"They painted an altar under the blood. They used all the undead shells to summon ghosts to real life!" Ah Nian pointed at the tank beside him. "The bodies inside these tanks are anchors. As they guide their consciousness back, they also draw the ghosts with them." The ghost world and the real world were divided by a red sea. The living humans inside the chambers were like the ferrymen.
"How can we stop them?" Han Fei looked at the experiment targets. "Are they still alive? Should we kill me?"
Ah Nian also hesitated. His two sons existed inside the black box too.
"Perhaps we can find a better way to deal with it in real life, but we have to destroy it here." Ever since Han Fei laid his eyes on the black box, there was a dull pain from the back of his head. There was a voice urging him to destroy the box. Han Fei jumped onto the box with Rest in Peace. "In all of Gao Xing's plan, this black box is the most crucial part. Normally, the altar will be hidden in the most important place."
Han Fei aimed the blade at the box!
The light from the blade seeped into the box. It was as if the night itself was cracked. Rest in Peace shattered the balance inside the box. A stench came out of it.
"Why is the box filled with dead people?" The black box known as hope radiated decay. Anyone who got close to it would feel faint with disgust. The pain on the back of Han Fei's head heightened. His body was weighed down by despair. He held the blade so he wouldn't fall. A force that came from the black box kept trying to bring him down!
Han Fei knelt on top of the box. Using the light of humanity, Han Fei looked through the crack. He saw many children's faces. The box contained many children. Their numbered bodies were bound together, and their faces were stacked upon each other like bricks. Due to the light, they raised their heads for the first time in the dark.
"The black box is used to store numbered kids?! The first batch of kids was killed by Mad Laughter. The second batch left the labs alive. Where did these kids come from?"
Han Fei was shocked. If he pushed his blade further, he'd injure the children. However, if he didn't push the kids away, he couldn't look further into the box. Mad Laughter faced this choice once, and now it was Han Fei's turn.
There was something hidden underneath the wall of innocent children, and that was the thing Han Fei was looking for.
