Chapter 924: Hope for Humanity

"Notification for Player 0000! You've destroyed the second altar! Your location has been confirmed by Gao Xing!" The system startled Han Fei. He still wasn't a match for Gao Xing's soul. "How did Gao Xing lock onto my location?"

After cutting two figurines, the pattern of two human heads appeared on Han Fei's Rest in Peace. The heads bit the hilt. Han Fei couldn't remove them. They radiated the presence of Unmentionable. For Han Fei, unless he dropped Rest in Peace, God would always know his location. Studying the hilt, Han Fei believed this could come in useful. He could use Rest in Peace to misdirect God.

"The blade emits the presence of Unmentionable. If I can kill Gao Xing, it'll raise another level!" As long as he could survive, Han Fei's future would be beautiful.

After the figurines in the elevator and office were destroyed, the space looked brighter.

"Shall we clean up the scene?" The worker was from the waste treatment center. When he saw the mess, he wanted to clean it.

"The people outside would have heard the commotion. They'd come over soon. Don't waste time on these pointless things." Han Fei sat at Fu Jing's desk. "Fu Jing has the highest access at Immortal Skyscraper. So, where is he now?" Looking at Fu Jing's itinerary, Han Fei noticed something strange. Other than this Thursday, his week was packed. "Why did he leave Thursday free?"

At that moment, someone knocked on the office door. A middle-aged man's voice said, "Boss, are you back?"

The worker panicked immediately. He flailed his hands about as he whispered to Han Fei, "Fu Jing's secretary is here. Normally, he's responsible for relaying Fu Jing's order. He's a very stern person."

"Boss, I have something urgent to report to you. Sorry." The door opened. The man in a suit walked in. He was tall and tough. His expression was cold, like he had no normal human emotions. As the secretary entered the door, Han Fei pounced at him like a leopard. Han Fei's physique was better than most, and he was a master at various martial arts. Plus, this was an ambush. Han Fei believed he would succeed, but he was blocked.

"Why wouldn't a Grade A research in the lab but come here instead?" The man glanced at Han Fei's Id. Then he caught sight of the broken art display and figurine. Murderous intent glowed in his eyes. Han Fei captured all these. He noticed that the male secretary emitted the presence of death unique to the core members of the three criminal organizations. The secretary hid this very well, but he couldn't hide it from Han Fei, who was also a core member.

"Was it you who set up the altar in Fu Jing's office?" Han Fei continued the fight. Their fight was fast and lethal. They would do anything to kill. Either party hadn't met such a tough opponent in a long time already. The male secretary had taken Immortal Pharma's drugs. His body was modified. Plus, he appeared to have Gao Xing's blessings, so he was immune to most curses. Han Fei wanted to capture the man alive, but after several seconds of fighting, he changed his mind.

After they swapped positions again, Han Fei took out Rest in Peace and cut the man. The man's skin popped open like a bubble. Dark red blood burst out.

"A knife?!" The man glared. He had no idea where Han Fei had hidden the knife. The chain rattled as Han Fei bound it around the man's neck and dragged him to the ground. Han Fei didn't waste time on interrogation. He immediately used Soul-depth Touch. His mind and soul had been improved at Gao Xing's altar. Han Fei's Soul-depth was strengthened by a lot. Of course, the side effect was that if he was not careful, the soul he touched might collapse.

The emotion of pain entered Han Fei's heart. He saw a rotten soul. The man and Fu Jing were childhood friends. He was one of the children adopted by Fu Tian. He had an extremely high IQ and EQ. In his heart, he saw Fu Tian as his father, but Fu Tian only saw him as a tool, and that was how Fu Tian trained him. Immortal Pharma could modify genes and personality. The male secretary was a successful experiment. He helped support Fu Jing until he met Butterfly and Gao Xing. Those people evoked the male secretary's ambition. They modified his persona again for him to become a well-hidden monster. The images of brain-washing appeared. Han Fei saw a suspected traitor among them. Fu Yun stood with Gao Xing and Butterfly.

"Fu Yun's name has appeared in the contract. He was the one who suggested trapping all the kids inside the supercomputer."

The soul Han Fei captured suddenly struggled. His God wanted him to die. All the memories collapsed. A giant face appeared. It carried the man's soul away. Han Fei suffered a minor injury. He put away the blade and chains before walking to the secretary's office. Using Secretary Zhang's body parts, Han Fei successfully unlocked the man's drawer. He found a bloody suit inside the drawer. The blood on the clothes was used the paint a divine pattern. Ghosts wouldn't attack the wearer of this suit.

"Take this. It might save your life." Han Fei handed the worker the suit.

"Thank you." The worker hugged the suit and stayed behind Han Fei. He didn't want to run anymore.

Han Fei continued to rummage through the room. There were many things hidden inside the male secretary's drawer. There was a layout of Immortal Skyscrapper. It suggested that the original building wasn't designed by Fu Tian but by another person. However, that person had mysteriously disappeared and everything about him had been wiped out.

"At first, all the experiments here were related to life extension. Someone has hidden a black box at the bottom of the building..." Han Fei had a feeling they were referencing the black box. Back then, it was Fu Sheng who used the black box to bring about the scientific revolution. "The black box appears to come from another world. It is a door and a key. Whenever it opens, it'll bring a miracle. The Immortal Skyscraper is made because of it.

"The future Immortal Project uses it as a foundation too. As Immortal Project progresses, everyone understands its uniqueness. It is God's hope for the person with the most despair. To ensure that we can continue to use the black box, we must cultivate the most despairing persona. Only then could we master hope."

Han Fei was reading when the phone on the man's body lit up. An unknown person wanted to communicate. The worker shut down the phone in a panic. However, moments later, all the communicative devices in the secretary's office lit up.

"Is this a warning?" Han Fei felt that if he didn't answer, the other party would use another method to communicate with him. After a moment's hesitation, he accepted the call. After a few moments of silence, and Han Fei was about to hang up, a strange man's voice said, "Secretary Zhang is dead. You should be the one who murdered him."

"Who are you?"

"I'm having a meal with his boss. Isn't it right for the master to care about his dog?" The man's voice was cold. "It's fine if a dog is dead, but I'm warning you. Don't do anything pointless, or else everyone related to you will die." The call didn't end, but the man's voice disappeared. Han Fei memorized the man's tone and words. The elevator opened. The footsteps were especially heavy, like the person was walking for the first time.

The secretary's computer received a collective mail from the main computer. "x Month x Day, Thursday, 17:04. Perfect Life is running normally. No new death among the focused targets! Consciousness for parts of the targets has returned. Unlocking the limits on individuals! Let us cheer for the imminent miracle!"
