Chapter 893: Crazy Plan
The man in white had seen many persona users with eight awakenings, but he hadn't seen anyone like Han Fei. He faced problems deeper than entering the Strange Building alone.
The man in white originally had a perfect plan. He was sure that Han Fei was the person who attacked Hope City that night. If he could arrest Han Fei, he could pin everything on Han Fei. If the center didn't allow that, he could use this opportunity to create chaos. No matter the result, he wouldn't waste this trip. However, he didn't consider a third possibility, where Han Fei was extremely hostile towards him even though he had just woken up.
"Don't worry. I will not kill the innocent." That was what he said, but the next moment, the greed abyss sealed up the whole zone. Han Fei dragged the man in white into the world of sins. Before the man could resist, he was sucked into the abyss.
"You should know this man, right?" The black water in the abyss churned. The soul of Flower Lawyer floated. He was bound by Flower of Resentment.
"It was you who killed the patrols of Zone A, right?" The man in white had that guess before, but he didn't think Han Fei would be brave enough to bring this to the surface.
"Not only that, I'll not let you escape either." Han Fei was in a good mood. He remembered the faces of all the criminals in the case of ghost cards. This man in white was a King card!
"Do you want to start a war between Hope City and the center." The man panicked. He couldn't maintain the balance of the scale anymore.
"It doesn't matter anymore." Han Fei walked under the healing starlight. After his eighth awakening, his recovery power increased again.
"After consuming the Top Pure Hatred, my greed persona has completed the eighth awakening. To achieve the ninth awakening, then he has to consume the altar and the Unmentionable's body. The center and Hope City won't help with that. I need to venture into Strange Buildings and Taboo Buildings." Han Fei said all these before the man in white. The man was about to die so Han Fei didn't care if he heard these things.
The man's scale could weigh the strength of one's persona. His power could make other person's power go unbalanced as well. For example, the left side of his scale had a heart radiating the presence of tragedy, while the right side had one of his fingers. As the scale swayed, the presence of tragedy swirled around the finger. Han Fei's greed persona was weakened. "Quite a strange power. You've successfully attracted my attention."
That sentence caused the man in white's eyes to twitch. No matter what, Han Fei didn't sound like a hero from the center. God's eyes slowly opened. All the powers the man had were affected. The ghost card killers were outsiders. Their power came from God's blessing. Now that Han Fei had God's eyes, he could influence part of the world's rules. This made him the natural jinx of all the outsiders. The man's scales immediately cracked. His power came from God, so how could he have the right to weigh God's memory?
The black mist spread out. The man looked underneath him. The four Pure Hatreds opened their mouths. Once he revealed some weakness, he would be torn apart. His persona power was limited. The man was in despair. Han Fei was a monster!
"Have you stopped struggling?" Han Fei stared at the man's scale greedily. His world of sins needed a power that could balance itself.
"Perhaps we can discuss this." The man in white held the scales. He surrendered.
"What can we discuss? What can you bring me? Show me your value."
Hearing that, the man in white said, "I know God's secrets. If you're willing to let me go, I can tell you everything I know about God's birthday."
"Not enough."
"I also know how to awaken the persona for the ninth time. I can give you all the sacrifices I've collected. Furthermore, I can guarantee that no one from Hope City dares to harass you anymore."
"Does anyone from Hope City dare to harass me now?" Han Fei didn't hide the greed in his eyes. "I need more!"
"I... have predicted the general location of God's altar. It's the core of the whole city and it can bring you unimaginable benefits." The man quickly said, "I know the way to leave. I can bring you to see the real world." Then, the man quietly observed Han Fei's expression. With his experience, he could tell immediately that Han Fei was moved. He sighed. The man silently activated his power to balance his strength and Han Fei's. He wanted to find a loophole to escape. While he was doing this, the four Pure Hatreds suddenly attacked him!
Han Fei never intended to let the man go. He was playing along with masterful acting.
"You!" When the man in white responded, it was already too late.
"I'm indeed interested in your secrets. But once you spend enough time in my abyss, I'll eventually know everything about you." The four Pure Hatreds bound the man in white. Han Fei took out Rest in Peace. The black mist coagulated into the staircase as he took slow steps toward the man in white.
"Execute!" The power of the world of sin gathered around Han Fei. At that moment, Han Fei felt like he ruled the world. The power to punish evil was his.
The man's head separated from his body. His soul was taken away by Pure Hatred. His persona was taken by Fear Demon and encased on the ground of the world. The execution was successful. The world of sin became more stable. Han Fei could feel his power getting stronger.
"These outsiders have no resistance before me anymore. The road ahead has been cleared. Now we need to gather our strength to enter the Taboo Building!"
God's birthday was getting closer, and so was Han Fei's progress to killing God!
Han Fei stood on Big Sin's shoulders. Half a minute later, Fu Lie and the other members of Team 13 arrived.
"Have you completed the eighth awakening?" Fu Lie looked at Han Fei with disbelief. He had been tortured so much in the lab before he could reach this point. It didn't feel like Han Fei had done anything, but he was on his level already.
"I'm just lucky." Han Fei was not just a normal persona user. Other than the greed persona, he had the even rarer healing persona. He was probably the only person with two personas at the eighth awakening in this tragedy.
"Where's the judge from Hope City?" Fu Lie was worried about Han Fei.
"He has been chased away from me." Han Fei naturally wouldn't say that he had eaten the man.
"The situation is getting more chaotic. The man wouldn't give up so easily. You need to be careful." Ever since Han Fei had the awakening, Fu Lie was more respectful to Han Fei.
"I know." Han Fei nodded. "I managed the awakening with the center's help. I'll fulfill my promise of entering the Taboo Building before God's birthday.''
"There's no need to rush. Your potential is greater than anyone at the center. I believe even if you volunteer to go to the Taboo Building now, the higher-ups will stop you." Fu Lie handed a brand new black band to Han Fei. "This is a band only available for captains. It has more functions."
"Thanks."
"Why are you thanking me? You've fought for everything on your own." Fu Lie was in a good mood. "I can't believe the center can acquire two persona users with eight awakenings. I feel better about the survivor's future." Then, Fu Lie shared the good news with everyone at the center. Han Fei hurried to the school. When he was unconscious, the students of Class Seven had left the center many times and some of them still hadn't returned. Han Fei found the headmaster and talked to him and realized something was wrong. The man, who was a persona user with four awakenings, was hypnotized and became a puppet for the students of Class seven. "What are they up to?"
When Han Fei was unavailable, the students started to get active. Han Fei was confused. "Do they think I'll interfere with their plan?" Han Fi went to the dorm and realized it was almost empty at the dorm for class seven. Of the first ten students, only No. 5 was there.
"Teacher, congratulation on reaching another persona breakthrough." No. 5 seemed to know that Han Fei would be there, so he stayed to welcome him.
"Where are the others?"
"They've gone to Hope City and Freedom Port." No. 5 told him truthfully.
"The altar world has entered the second phase, and Pure Hatred can wander freely. This is too dangerous!"
"There's no reward without risk." No. 5's attitude towards Han Fei changed a lot. "I know you're worried about them. Actually, they left because they didn't want you to have an argument with you."
"Argument? Why would I do that? What are you planning?" Han Fei looked at No. 5, the child who had gone through a lot of torture.
"The Pure Hatreds are planning to perform blood sacrifice for God's birthday..." No.5's eyes sharpened. "And we plan to change the target to revive No. 0!"
