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.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
"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.
"Don't kill me!" The worker trembled. He didn't dare to even look at Han Fei. If time could go back, he would run the moment he saw Han Fei.
"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."
"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?"
