Chapter 898: Saint
Due to Han Fei's negative charm, he had the attention of many female ghosts. He was different from Fu Yi. He would not use this opportunity to trick them. He knew that a ghost's trust could easily turn into an extreme hatred.
"Since you also want to kill Gao Xing, then we can collaborate." Han Fei reached out his hand to the woman. He didn't use any power.
"Temporarily, I can't resist Gao Xing. My memory and humanity have been sealed by Gao Xing inside one of the buildings. If you can help me recover them, I'll help you destroy his altar." The woman's voice was scary.
"But you feel quite rational to me now?" Han Fei was confused. Gao Xing's mother and wife were very special Pure Hatreds. They were not dominated by hatred.
"Haven't you realized that with each conversation I had with you, the numbers on the wall would drop?" The woman laughed. "There are survivors trapped behind each door. The number represents the beautiful memories in their minds. I maintain my sanity by feeding on their memory. When all the memories are exhausted, you'll see a real monster."
Han Fei frowned and said, "I can help you find your humanity, but in exchange, I need to save all the survivors and bring them somewhere safe."
"You know this is Gao Xing's altar world, and these people are just his toy. Why waste so much energy on them?"
"That's my business." Han Fei didn't explain further. "Tell me. Where is your humanity hidden?"
"Gu Yang Tian Nian Old Folks' Home. My flower of humanity blooms in the middle of the sea of flowers. There are many memories of other Pure Hatreds there. Gao Xing took away the goodness left in everyone's heart and made them into flowers to ensure that only malice remained in this world." The woman said painfully. "I can even give you very valuable info. If you can leave this world, you have to be careful of the connection between the higher-up of Gao Xing and Immortal Pharma, as well as Deep Space Tech. Don't treat him as a normal ghost. He's almost the king of the night already."
"You know quite a bit."
"I merely share with you with all told. After being tortured for so long, your appearance is my only hope. Of course, I'll aid you the best I can." The numbers on the doors were almost down to zero. "If you can bring my humanity back, I'll give you more info."
The woman's expression was different from before. This was very important.
"What is it?"
"Gao Xing's soul has been split into three parts. They correspond to his most despairing past, his murderous present, and his ideal future. To kill him, you have to kill all three of them. The saddest past is hidden in Hope City. He is an abandoned orphan. He lives as a human; the murderous past hides inside Gu Yang Tian Nian's home. He calls himself Immortality; if you can bring me back my humanity, I'll tell you where Gao Xing's perfect future is. Other than Ghost Mother, only I know how to kill Gao Xing." The carcasses climbed towards the woman. The woman became crazier. "Gao Xing's mother knew about this too?!"
"Yes, but she'll never tell you. Even though she has been extremely tortured, she will not allow Gao Xing to be killed, so you can only trust me." The woman was familiar with Gao Xing's mother's attitude. She appeared to have communicated with her before.
"I wish to talk to her. Can you bring me to her?" Gao Cheng, in the abyss, urged him.
"Do you think we can talk like this if she's here? We're plotting to kill her son!" The woman roared. "Ghost Mother is at the core zone. She was punished because she tried to help you. All the curses were triggered, and her heart started to decay."
Han Fei didn't use the greed abyss, but God's eyes appeared behind him. Gao Cheng's anger twisted the ghost territory.
"So you two share this relationship. How did you manage to do this?" The woman wanted to approach Han Fei, but the red ropes bound her tightly.
"Since Ghost Mother isn't here, I don't have a reason to stay." Han Fei looked at the woman. "Can you tell me your name? How can I find your humanity among the sea of flowers?"
"I think my surname is Chou. Gao Xing's mother and my humanity are the prettiest flowers in the sea of flowers. Gao Xing calls them Beloved. You'll recognize them easily." The woman looked no different from a normal Pure Hatred, but she knew many secrets. "I remember there's a creation by Gao Xing called Beloved. Is that about you or his mother?" Han Fei asked.
"Perhaps it's about both of us?" The wife looked behind Han Fei. When she saw Gao Cheng, her eyes flashed with sadness. She seemed to know Goa Cheng, but Gao Cheng couldn't remember her. "Go. I can't control myself anymore. Once that happens, I'll become a destructive monster!"
"There's one more thing that I need to trouble you with." Han Fei opened the door. "I want to save all the survivors and ghosts rescued by Ghost Mother. They will become the key to changing our fate."
"So be it. After you find my humanity, I don't need them to retain my rationality anymore." The woman tore open a gap, and all the doors in the building opened. Endless survivors exited. They were all dressed in black robes. Gao Xing's mother had done a lot to protect them. The doors broke down. Voices came from underneath the building. Han Fei didn't once expect that civilization had been built underneath the Sky Garden building. It was like a beehive down there. Many survivors who went missing in Zone A didn't die. They were rescued by Ghost Mother. The kind woman had silently saved so many people in this tragedy.
A real saint would never flaunt. Even though she was called Ghost Mother, she had done everything she could to save and protect others.
"Bring them away now!" The woman's face was twisted. She was no longer beautiful.
Black mist rolled out from behind Han Fei. He thought Ghost Mother had at most saved several thousand people, but in reality, he had greatly underestimated her. With Sky Garden as the center, all the surrounding buildings were hiding places for the black-robed survivors. They had the presence of Ghost Mother and survived in the dark. Due to this, they were heavily mentally corrupted. Without Ghost Mother's help, they would have lost their humanity. The tragedy happened decades ago, and Ghost Mother helped more and more people over the years. Gao Xing knew about this, but he didn't stop her. Instead, he used the humans to bind them to Ghost Mother to threaten her. If she made the wrong choice, many innocent people would die. All the survivors became a chip for Gao Xing to force Ghost Mother to side with her. The starlight cut through the black mist. Han Fei healed the survivors. These people could finally remove the black robes.
"This area is basically a survivor based built in the ghost territory. There are several ten thousand of them."
There were so many survivors that even Han Fei couldn't bring them through the city. He had to change his plan and make this building the new base. Han Fei contacted the black merchants. He had them bring Mad Laughter's figurine over. He made a bold choice to build Mad Laughter's figurine at Gao Xing's home.
Han Fei fetched the survivors at Sky Garden Residence. Everyone who received the healing was willing to believe in Mad Laughter. As more people recovered, more people believed in Han Fei. They believed Mad Laughter was the real God who could bring them hope.
At the same time, Han Fei contacted the center and No. 5. He told him about how Gao Xing's soul was hidden in one of the orphans at Hope City. His target was Gu Yang Tian Nian Old Folk's Home. He would leave the interactions with humanity to the center and the students of Class Seven.
When it was dark, Mad Laughter's figurine before Gao Xing's home started to change. With so much faith, the figurine regained divinity. His facial feature became similar to Han Fei's. The curve of a smile seemed to be mocking this rotten world.
"Have I gone too far?" Han Fei looked at Mad Laughter's face. Behind them was Sky Garden Residence. If Gao Xing saw this, he would be so mad. "There are other survivors in the city. The people who were turned into monsters due to mental corruption could become Mad Laughter's followers too! All the humans denied by other human bases would become my friends. No one will be sacrificed. That is the real hope!"
Han Fei stood beside Mad Laughter's figurine. While Han Fei cured the survivors' mental corruption, Mad Laughter accepted these people's faith. The healing persona had completely evolved. It was now like a new moon, hanging high above the city.
"The Pure Hatreds nearby wouldn't dare to come after God. Temporarily, they won't discover anything." Han Fei covered the figurine with black cloth. He contacted Ah Nian. The two of them hurried to Gu Yang Tian Nian Old Folk's Home.
"I'll leave Gao Xing's past to the center. I'll deal with Gao Xing's present. After I find out where Gao Xing's future s hiding, this world will have been turned upside-down, and a new God will be reborn on the old God's body!"
The twinflower was about to meet. The worst future would end before God's birthday.
Han Fei sat on Big Sin and looked into the night greedily. "After I have the eighth awakening, the greed abyss morphed into the world of sin. I wonder what will change after the ninth awakening."
