Chapter 936: Brain Failure
After sending Huang Yin away, Han Fei reached his limits as well. However, he still had many things to arrange. Li Xue's teacher became the strongest Night Police at the skyscraper. He dared to stop God even under the night. However, his consciousness had sunken into endless sins. It was unknown when he'd awaken again. The elder depended on his determination to defend the rooftop. As long as he was still there, no one would be able to get close to the door.
With the elder and Big Ghost guarding the building, Han Fei was relaxed. Mad Laughter was still absorbing Gao Xing's power inside the altar. The brain fragments hidden inside the building were found, but Han Fei realized there were still more missing fragments. Only when he collected all of No. 2's brain fragments that Han Fei had gained a complete Unmentionable. No. 2's power was related to fate. He was much stronger than the Singer and Mirror God.
Han Fei had all the ghosts listen to Xu Qin as he asked her to take over the black rain area. Then, he pulled back Evil Soul, carried the altar, and pressed the exit button.
Blood descended, but the bloody person who was always there didn't appear this time. Han Fei tried to turn back, but the bloody man had already left. He had to rely on himself from now on. Blood swallowed the city. Even the sky was dyed red. Han Fei stood on the rooftop alone. He could sense the threat from all sides. Unmentionables from the deep world have noticed him. The monsters who killed Fu Sheng were turning to him. Han Fei felt moisture near his eyes. He lowered his head. His eyes were bleeding. His chest, arms, and body were covered in blood.
In the past, when he logged out of the game, only the city was dyed red. This time, even his body was red.
"Does this mean the person behind me has been sharing my burden in the past?" The pain came from the back of his head. When Han Fei reopened his eyes, he was already out of the game. Compared to before, it felt like the pain was 10 times greater. Once he moved his body, it felt like it was going to break. He tried to remove the helmet, but as his hands touched it, it felt like a knife pierced into the back of his head. The sharp pain knocked him out again.
Darkness fell. Han Fei felt like he was trapped inside a black box. No matter how loud he yelled, there was no answer. He was alone. After who knew how long, light shone on Han Fei's face. There was someone calling his name anxiously. The pain didn't disappear. Han Fei opened his eyes blurrily. He saw the white walls and bed. He was at the hospital.
"The patient is awake!" The rapid footsteps came. The door was pushed open. Several doctors came to the bed and inspected Han Fei. Han Fei, who had just escaped from the cryptic world, was still unfamiliar with this. When he saw the doctors, he subconsciously wanted to evade them.
"Han Fei, relax." The familiar voice calmed Han Fei. He turned to the voice. Li Xue and her colleagues guarded his bed. The female director of the Investigation Center overlapped with the woman before him. Han Fei moved his fingers. Li Xue grabbed Han Fei's hand and leaned in as if to listen to him.
"His situation is rather special. It was a coma due to acute brain failure. Normally, brain failure can be caused by intracranial hematoma, hematoma due to external trauma, or high intracranial pressure. However, based on our CT scans, other than the small shadow at the back of his head, he's completely fine." The doctors recognized Han Fei as the famous actor, but they had no idea why so many police were with him.
"How can that be treated?"
"There are many reasons behind brain failure, and we have no conclusive treatment for clinical patients." The doctor said with difficulty. "Now, we can only confirm one thing. His brain is indeed gradually failing. If we don't find out the reason, he might slowly lose perception of things or go into a coma."
"Go into a coma?" Li Xue and her colleagues were worried. Over the years, only Han Fei and Huang Yin managed to escape from Butterfly. Furthermore, Han Fei helped the police a lot.
The doctor nodded. "To be honest, we recently have received many patients with brain failure. They share one similarity. They've all played a game called Perfect Life..." Before the doctor could finish, a patient appeared at the door. He looked very pretty, like an actor. The police immediately became alert. Han Fei couldn't move, and he was an easy target. They needed to protect him.
"My name is Qiang Wei. I'm Han Fei's friend. We've met inside Perfect Life." After Qiang Wei left the game, he had the same symptom as Han Fei, but his condition wasn't serious, and he recovered quickly.
"We'll wait for him to wake up first." Li Xue rejected Qiang Wei. She had everyone leave the room after the doctors finished the examinations. Han Fei woke up in the afternoon. He got filled in by Li Xue. Han Fei lost consciousness after he exited the game. Huang Yin called Han Fei, wanting to ask him what to do with the white box. However, he couldn't reach Han Fei. Worried, Huang Yin called the police. The police kicked down the door and rushed the unconscious Han Fei to the hospital.
Han Fei had many secrets that he couldn't tell the doctors. The way he left the game this time was different. The bloody man behind him disappeared, and it took longer for him to leave the game. All these had to do with how Mad Laughter had left his body. There was two consciousness in this body in the past. Mad Laughter had become an Unmentionable. He planned to leave Han Fei alone.
"Brain failure?" Han Fei had two personas, and his mind was stronger than most. Normally, this shouldn't happen to him. "This coma is probably caused by the altar mission. I was in Gao Xing's world for too long. Once I stop entering the cryptic world, everything will slowly recover..." Han Fei mumbled to himself. Han Fei had Li Xue prepare many portions of meat. With the nursing staff looking on in shock, Han Fei engulfed all the food. His appetite alone differentiated him from a normal person. The doctors even wanted to find out whether his condition had caused gluttony. Han Fei planned to leave the hospital after that.
"Li Xue, I have some criminal evidence on Immortal Pharma. It'll greatly help your investigation of the company, but the info cannot be leaked. I need to meet your superior." Han Fei told Li Xue seriously. "I'm Teacher's last student. I will finish his wish."
Han Fei was a helpful citizen in the past, but after Li Xue's teacher officially took him on as his student, Han Fei's identity changed. The police saw him as one of their own.
"Okay. I'll ready the car now." Once Li Xue and her colleagues left, Qiang Wei appeared outside the door. Beside him was the player called Boss. He was the founder of Absolute Truth.
"Han Fei, long time no see." Qiang Wei's memory had been edited by the hospital altar. He only remembered that he was friends with Han Fei.
"Why are you here?" Han Fei was shocked.
"Same as you, after we left Perfect Life's hidden maps, Boss and my brain suffered damage to a certain degree." Qiang Wei walked to the bed and lowered his voice. "I came here this time mainly to tell you one thing." He pulled back the curtain and frowned. "Someone is hunting all the children who have participated in the persona experiment. My friends and I have been targeted. A few of them have died."
"A hunt?" Han Fei remembered the future he saw inside the altar. The members of three organizations carried 31 black boxes into Immortal Skyscraper and used all the despairing children as keys to open the path.
"Of course, we are not sitting ducks. We've been through hell and we plan to fight back." Qiang Wei extended his hand to Han Fei. "You are close to Xin Lu Police. I hope you can join us."
"No problem." Han Fei accepted. "But you have to consider this. We are not facing just those killers but also Immortal Pharma."
"It has treated us as experiments. It turned us into monsters. It's time for it to pay." Qiang Wei didn't show any fear. The children had all grown up.
Han Fei nodded and then he turned to Boss. "Is this our friend too?"
"I'm just a normal rich man." Boss met Han Fei in game too. "I used to have some conflicts with Immortal Pharma."
"What an interesting introduction."
Han Fei told Qiang Wei some info about the three criminal organizations. He told them to be careful. The crazy people were mixed in their everyday lives.
After getting Qiang Wei's contact, Han Fei reached out to the other surviving children. To Han Fei's surprise, all the children who survived the persona experiments were elites in Xin Lu.
"Compared to them, I'm so normal."
