Chapter 935: Waging a War
The mad laughter appeared to be some kind of siren for the cryptic world. Mad Laughter had been oppressed for so long since the bloodred night. Killing Gao Xing's three souls was just the first step in his revenge.
Han Fei moved away from the altar to Gao Xing's mother. "Gao Cheng has disappeared, but Gao Xing is still here. The scenes you saw in the altar world are slowly becoming true. I don't know much about Gao Xing, so I need your help."
Gao Xing's mother was the person who knew Gao Xing the most. The woman sat at the edge of the skyscraper and looked down at the dark world. This was the place her son lived. If she didn't stop Gao Xing, all the living humans would be dragged into this hell.
"I can tell you everything I know, but I hope you can promise me one thing." Gao Xing's mother pleaded. "I wish to see Gao Xing, not his soul but his actual person."
"Gao Xing is in real life, and he has become an Unmentionable. This request is rather hard." Han Fei sat beside the woman. "Is there something you want to tell him?"
"I want to hug him." Gao Xing's mother looked at the night. The rain had stopped. "At least one hug."
Gao Xing owed the world, but Gao Xing's mother felt the opposite. She felt like she owed Gao Xing. It was because of that guilt that she became the strong Ghost Mother.
"Okay. I promise you." Han Fei took out a white box. This box was the first-place prize Huang Yin won a long time ago for being the first-place winner in the rankings. It could allow Han Fei to bring an NPC out of Perfect Life. Han Fei originally planned to keep this super rare item for his neighbors, but none of his neighbors planned to leave Happiness Neighborhood alone. Therefore, Han Fei kept this item until now.
Gao Xing's mother's eyes teared up after hearing Han Fei's answer. She thanked Han Fei and began to share with him his memory of Gao Xing, from the first time she saw Gao Xing at the optometrist's hospital to the last moment when she was dragged to the altar. Gao Xing's mother saw her son slowly walk into the abyss and became the new king of crime at Xin Lu.
"There's a voice controlling Gao Xing. Gao Xing calls it Dream. Gao Xing knows that Dream is not human, but he is overly confident in himself. He believes he can become stronger than Dream." Gao Xing's mother told Han Fei seriously. "When you trap a human and a lion together, the human has to be on alert at all times. If he lets his guard down, the hungry lion will not hesitate to eat him."
"What are you trying to say?"
"You've destroyed Gao Xing's world and eyes. Now is the moment when he is the weakest. Dream might attack him. After stripping him of his value, Dream will eat him alive." Gao Xing's mother was very clever. "Gao Xing didn't return even if his altar was destroyed. Perhaps Dream is in his way too."
Gao Xing's mother patiently explained Dream's scariness. Actually, she didn't need to do that because Han Fei knew how scary Dream was. At the theme park altar, Han Fei had seen Dream in action. Dream was an Unmentionable from Fu Sheng's era. The scariest thing was one of Fu Sheng's altars at Ziggurat was taken over by Butterfly. Butterfly was a puppet cultivated by Dream. Therefore, Fu Sheng's death might be related to Dream.
Dream and Gao Xing wanted to find the black box. However, neither of them expected that Fu Sheng had already moved the box to real life and had already given it to Han Fei.
"Never underestimate Dream. It is a monster that can cultivate Unmentionables. After it knows you've destroyed Gao Xing's altar, it might find another way to destroy the city." Gao Xing's mother's words stunned Han Fei. His enemy was not a normal entity. It was the evilest existence in the cryptic world.
"The future I saw turned the rooftop of this skyscraper and the basement of Immortal Pharma into a channel between the two worlds. If they want to change the plan, where will they make the new channel?"
"I'm not sure." Gao Xing's mother shook her head. "But I can tell you where you can find Gao Xing."
"Do you know where he's hiding?"
"Yes. I'll bring you there personally." Gao Xing's mother was very clear. She wanted to see Gao Xing in person. To be able to kill Gao Xing before the tragedy was very alluring to Han Fei. After giving it some thought, Han Fei placed the white box before Gao Xing's mother, "This is the first time I'm using this. I'm sure if it'll work or not. The success rate is higher on weaker ghosts."
"It's okay. After leaving the altar world, I'm no different from an Animated Regret." After Gao Cheng disappeared, Gao Xing's mother only had one family left. She just wanted to see Gao Xing. The white box opened, and a weak light glowed. It was out of place in this world.
However, to everyone's surprise, the small light opened a crack in the night sky above them. The terrifying presence came from all sides. The cryptic world didn't allow this to happen. It didn't want any locals to see the light. Ghost Mother's soul entered the white box. Soon, the light disappeared. The white box fell on the ground, and it looked so normal.
"Is that it?" As a member of the cryptic world, Han Fei couldn't bring the white box out either. He had to summon Huang Yin.
Huang Yin appeared and was surrounded by four Pure Hatreds. He almost jumped off the building. Whenever Han Fei called him into the cryptic world, it would shock him immensely.
"Brother Huang, long time no see." Han Fei gave Huang Yin a big hug. It made Huang Yin feel uncomfortable. Hadn't they met a few days ago?
"How come you make it feel like it's our last meeting every day?" Huang Yin whispered. "Is there anything that you need my help with?"
"There's something very important." Han Fei didn't hide anything from Huang Yin. He told him everything that had happened to him inside the altar world. "This time, our enemy is Immortal Pharma and Unmentionable. I can't do this alone. I need help from the police and everyone's help."
Immortal Pharma wouldn't allow the police to investigate the building. However, Han Fei needed to take on the company to prevent the tragedy from happening. He decided to take out the evidence from the altar world. "Some people are unwilling to change, so we'll help them change."
"Is that too crazy?" Huang Yin's scalp numbed the moment he heard the words Han Fei said. He knew how influential Immortal Pharma was.
"I'll give you a list. We'll start with the secret clients of Immortal Pharma." Han Fei had a super powerful memory. He silently wrote down the info he found in Fu Jing's office and the underground lab. Seeing the names Han Fei provided, Huang Yin sweated. There were a lot of big shots.
"They form an alliance due to a shared benefit. But I can tell you for certain that immortality won't be realized temporarily. If they continue to trust in Immortal Pharma, they will only become a shell controlled by ghosts." Han Fei pointed at the cryptic world behind him. "There are many ghosts here waiting to take over their bodies."
"Do you think they'll believe that?" Huang Yin chuckled sadly.
"I control both Butterfly's dresser and the theme park passage. Plus, I have the Spiritfarer talent. If words can't convince them, we'll use actions." Han Fei smiled cruelly. "It isn't too hard to make them suffer 1/10th of my pain, right?"
"Your smile sure is scary. No wonder you're the most popular horror movie actor now." Huang Yin put away the files. "Don't worry. I'll do my best."
Huang Yin's eyes shone with determination. "This is officially a war with Immortal Pharma, right?"
"We're merely helping it get back to the right path." Han Fei handed the white box to Huang Yin. "A mother's soul is inside this box. Try to bring her out of the game. We need her help."
Huang Yin was sent back. Han Fei took a deep breath. Xin Lu's fate would be decided in the next few days.
"Fu Sheng is the founder of Immortal Pharma, and I'm Fu Sheng's handpicked heir. So what is my connection to Immortal Pharma?"
