Chapter 944: Meeting

The figurines in real life were just normal mud figurines. They could be shattered easily. However, after Han Fei broke them, he was affected to a certain degree too. The knocking became clearer. He could hear it wherever he went.

"Is this a sign that the door between the two worlds is opening?"

The worst 24 hours in the altar world were simplified a lot in the real world. Gao Xing knew that dragging it out wouldn't be good for him, so he wanted to finish the ritual as soon as possible. After his ghost territory opened at Immortal Skyscraper, the latent evil within everyone was triggered. People lost their sanity and became monsters. Of course, this power wasn't useable for everyone.

For example, the worker from the waste disposal center was a coward but was a good man. His biggest sin was to abandon his mate and run.

"Come on. Let's go take a look." The highly-secured lab was now empty. All the researchers had been summoned away.

"Lab No. 4 involved Immortal Pharma's core secret. Will Fu Jing let the police in here?" Han Fei used the card to switch on the light. Han Fei noticed Lab No. 4 was different from what he imagined. Perhaps the police were involved, and parts of the experiments had been changed. The 'bodies' of the most important clients had been moved away. There were only volunteers in the tanks. Their brains were connected to Perfect Life.

"I've already noticed the anomaly. Gao Xing's group would have too. Would they still continue the ritual?" Han Fei felt like things were not that simple. He would never underestimate his enemy. "Gao Xing's wife and mother have both mentioned Dream's heartlessness. No. 2 also warned that Dream might abandon Gao Xing after the latter lost his altar. Is it possible that Dream is only using Gao Xing to distract us while it attempts to find a new tunnel?"

"Han Fei, look at the tanks around us." Assistant Tao said. "My labs have similar tanks. The channels can't be polluted, but I realize the nutrient channels for all the tanks here are red. The strangest thing is that the experiments inside the tanks are still alive. What are they doing here?"

Han Fei walked to the tanks. He saw the introduction and number on each tank. Most of the experiments were workers from the earlier generations at Immortal Pharma. They had sacrificed their lives for Immortal Pharma and knew many company secrets. After their bodies weakened, Immortal Pharma gave them the chance to join the Immortal Project. If the project succeeded, these core workers would be reborn with a new life.

However, the situation had changed. The police knew what Immortal Pharma was doing. The Immortal Project would be stopped, and these old workers would be released. These people knew many secrets about Immortal Pharma. To keep the secrets, Immortal Pharma's admins decided to shut their mouths forever. When the criminals sneak into the company, the admins would push the blame onto them.

They were in the real world, but the world was as cruel as the cryptic world.

Han Fei asked Assistant Tao, "Can we save these people? They've contributed a lot to the company. They shouldn't end up like this."

"It's complicated. When everything is back to normal, we'll get the professionals here." Assistant Tao was a working man too. He felt warmth in Han Fei's words. Han Fei would be a good leader.

What Assistant Tao didn't know was that Han Fei had been a company admin when he took over Fu Yi's body. When the gaming company fired him, his subordinates were still loyal to him.

Han Fei had his own plan. After Immortal Pharma collapsed, he wanted to start a new Immortal Pharma. He needed talents. These people who had the right to join Immortal Project were the best of the best. Even if they died, Han Fei could bring them to the cryptic world and give them a second chance.

"Whenever I join a new company, they will close down. In that case, I might as well start my own company."

Han Fei's group took the elevator and came to the underground 17th floor. All the electronic devices on this floor failed. The signal was blocked, and there was blood on the ground.

"There was a firefight here." Han Fei saw bullet holes and some ruined carcasses. "They died within the last half an hour. The wounds are around the neck. They were all ambushed." Han Fei looked at the dead bodies' palms. "There are wearing from using guns. These are police officers in disguise."

Han Fei narrowed his eyes at the path leading to the underground 18th floor. The dark corridor was like a giant mouth. There was no light. A horrible smell of medicine and blood came out of it. This floor felt too much like the cryptic world for Han Fei.

"Stand behind me. Be careful not to let the AI Butler be injured." Han Fei wanted to take out Rest in Peace. He grabbed nothing but air. Then, he realized he was not in the cryptic world. The strange thing was he felt a warm force in his palm. The force was hard to explain. It felt like someone was trying to console him.

Han Fei stopped at the entrance to the underground 18th floor. Han Fei heard footsteps. Two figures slowly walked out of the darkness. The man was wearing the mask of a mad scientist. The woman was wearing the mask of death. Their bodies were covered in the names of sinners.

"The bridge is completed. You're late." Death didn't hide her voice. She was Ye Xuan.

"The bridge connects to my home. I'd know if it's completed or not." Han Fei smiled harmlessly.

"What an annoying person." Mad Scientist charged at Han Fei. His body had been transformed to become a killing machine.

"I might not be able to deal with the two of you in the past, but I've learned many things in your master's altar." With the training in the cryptic world, Han Fei's body was better than most.

Mad Scientist was a humanmade killing machine. Han Fei was a devil trained by the cryptic world. Their training was different. Each of them only had one chance to make a move. They would not hold back.

Han Fei's shirt was cut. Mad Scientist's head was turned 360 degrees, and his neck was pulled long.

"It's your turn next." Han Fei was a professional executioner.

When Death saw her partner killed, she didn't hesitate to run away. Seeing the dead Mad Scientist, Assistant Tao and the worker were shocked. They knew that Han Fei was a good horror actor. He killed many people in his movies, but they didn't realize he wasn't even acting.

"His body has been modified. He won't die so soon." Han Fei said. "I understand the human body very well. Don't be scared. I rarely harm others."

Han Fei's group entered the shadow.

If the underground 17th floor felt like the cryptic world, then the underground 18th floor was the cryptic world. All the tanks were labeled with strange bloody symbols. 31 murderers were gathered here. Each of them wore a mask. Everyone had a black box before them. In the middle of a black box, a man stood facing away from Han Fei. He held a knife painted with a butterfly pattern. He aimed the knife at the back of Shen Luo's head.

The dying Shen Luo had blood and tears on his face. He was chained, and sins were written on his skin. Talismans were stuffed into his mouth. Even Han Fei pitied the man.

Shen Luo sensed something. He turned to the entrance and saw Han Fei. He shook his body and mumbled something.

"Rescue after desperation. Has the man brought his talent to real life?" Han Fei sighed in real life.

Seeing Shen Luo struggle, the man holding the butterfly knife slowly turned around. At that moment, Han Fei felt like he was being stared at by thousands of venomous snakes.
