Chapter 923: Art
Han Fei was also very curious. Who was this person who'd cooperate with ghosts to push Immortal Pharma into hell?
The elevator booth rose. This elevator inside Lab No. 1 could reach any floor. "The underground labs have been sealed. The staircases can't be used. The public elevators have stopped functioning. It looks like the company admins are traversing between floors using this elevator."
Han Fei's heart thumped as he watched the changing number on the screen. He was about to approach the truth. The elevator was not stopped, and it successfully lifted Han Fei and the worker to the 31st floor. "The chaos underground doesn't seem to affect the floors aboveground."
The elevator spat them out in a hidden room filled with shelves. The shelves were lined with various experiment data and children's toys. The worker wanted to look at them, but as he was about to reach one of the shelves, he screamed, "There's a kid climbing on the scrolls!"
Han Fei pulled the worker away. The paper doll flew toward the shelves. Everything inside the room was cursed. The curse was evil and deadly. The curses reminded Han Fei of Butterfly. There were many similar curses at Ziggurat, but they had all been consumed by Xu Qin.
"Why would the company admin collect these things? And who is behind the curses?"
Thankfully Han Fei had the paper doll with him, or else he wouldn't be able to inspect the documents.
Han Fei reached towards the shelves. As he picked a scroll up, he heard a child scream.
"Adoption records?" To conduct the persona experiment, Immortal Pharma combed many cities. Through much elimination, they finally chose 30 children. The chosen orphans were sent into Lab No. 1 while the rest was turned into disposable test nutrients. Han Fei's hands bulged with veins as he read the scrolls. He saw a familiar name at the bottom of the scroll, Fu Tian.
Fu Sheng cultivated the first batch of children. However, he failed because his experiment was interrupted by Fu Tian, Gao Xing, and Dream. In the end, the experiment created two monsters, Mad Laughter and No. 2.
As Fu Sheng's younger brother, Fu Tian was unwilling to let the experiment die. He used a crueler method than his brother to start the second experiment. From the result, he failed as well. The scrolls were mostly related to Fu Tian. These things should have been destroyed, but for some reason, they were retained. The stronger the curse, the more damning the evidence recorded on the scroll. When Han Fei unlocked all the curses, he realized something shocking.
In one of the abandoned plans, someone within Immortal Pharma wanted to remove the age limit on Perfect Life. They wanted to replicate the experiment inside the game so that all the children would live under the supercomputer's control all the time. After humanity gained the power of God, their ambitions would expand. Han Fei worked his numb fingers. At the back of the abandoned project, he saw the name, Fu Yun.
"I remember Fu Tian's eldest son is called Fu Hong, and the second son is called Fu Jing. They manage the company. Is Fu Yun his third son? I can't remember reading about this person in the media."
It was easy to check the worker lineup of a big company like Immortal Pharma, but this was Han Fei's first time hearing the name Fu Yun.
"There's no admin with that name at the company." The worker said. After he was saved twice by Han Fei, he finally understood that relying on Han Fei was the only way to live.
"Soon, we'll know who he is." After about two hours, Han Fei finished reading all the files in the room. He finally had the tools to destroy Immortal Pharma. The hidden room was connected to a study. In the technologically advanced era, a study was very rare.
"This is Fu Jing's office. He's the company's admin and supervisor. He has a lot of power. He has the second large amount of company stock, just behind the former leader, Fu Tian." The worker subconsciously lowered his head. Whenever he saw the name on the table, he'd be afraid. "There are cameras in this room. Why don't you find a mask to cover your face?"
"Fu Jing's office is connected to Lab No. 1. Does this mean he's the company traitor?" Han Fei walked to the office table. He found another figurine by accident among the expensive artistic decoration. The figurine was placed so that its eyes would always stare at Fu Jing.
"If Fu Jing is the traitor, then everything he has would be Gao Xing's already. Then God wouldn't need to hunger for anything. The murderers didn't need to sneak in from the waste treatment center either." Han Fei wanted to enter Fu Jing's computer, but he didn't have enough access power. Just as he pondered what to do, another message appeared on the screen.
"x Month x Day. Thursday. 16: 47. Perfect Life is running like normal. No death among the focused targets. Part of the target's consciousness has returned. Entering the critical phase of the second phase. All researchers, please head to Lab No. 4!"
The message didn't sound like it was written by Fu Jing. However, the big question was, where was Fu Jing?
"What happened on Thursday? Is Fu Jing not at the company?" Sitting before the computer, some dark thoughts appeared in Han Fei's mind.
"Hey! Wake up!" The worker beside him suddenly spoke. Han Fei jumped up and took a look. He perfectly looked into the eyes of the figurine on the shelf. The other art pieces started to bleed. They formed a special altar and protected the figurine.
"This figurine can subtly influence a person. Who placed it in Fu Jing's office?"
Han Fei used the same method to yank out the figurine and then shatter it.
After destroying the second altar, Han Fei could hear the waves of despair from the abyss. He could withdraw power from the cryptic world at the minimum degree.
