Chapter 295: 295
As they say, misery lovespany. Han Fei was in a weakened state since he failed to light the altar. His Life Point was so low that a bump could kill him. Under such extreme conditions, the Song suddenly made an appearance. Once it locked onto Han Fei, like a shark, it couldn’t be shaken off.
‘This is probably the side effect from failing to light the altar, the system did mention these altars contain the presence of specific Unmentionable. That’s probably why the Singer is chasing after me.’ Han Fei shivered as he thought about the pairs of scary eyes inside the altar. ‘This rubbish game, why would it allow a level 12 yer to trigger a level 30 object?’
Yi Ming Street started to frost over like winter had arrived all of a sudden. Paper money fluttered from god knows where and since the Song appeared, thefort and familiarity Han Fei felt with the street disappeared. Being carried by Drake, Han Fei summoned his courage to look behind him. If he had to die, at least he wanted to know the identity of his killer. The street behind him was like and of death, other than the song, there was no other sound. The song came closer and closer but the scary thing was it was invisible. Because it was invisible, that made it even more frightening. This was no longer an issue of mental constitution, but fear and escape were how the body reacted when one was around the Singer.
“Its target is me, Drake. If you stay with me, everyone will be destroyed.” Han Fei said seriously. “We’ve cleaned up the securitypany and made known the rtionship between it and Ziggurat. When Ziggurat found out about the securitypany’s destruction, they would hate us even more. But if we led the Singer to the securitypany, the Ziggurat might think it was the Singer who was behind the destruction, it was the Singer who destroyed their production chain and took out the butterfly patterned human skin.” Even at that moment, Han Fei tried to keep calm. Since he was going to die, then he was going to bring everyone down with him. The Singer posed extreme danger but within danger, there was always chance. Han Fei very acutely captured that. “After all, if I’m dead, Ziggurat won’t know what really happened there. The Singer would bear this me for me.” When Han Fei said that, his tone was sharp. Even though he was the one being chased, it didn’t stop him from trying to entrap the Singer.
Drake obediently carried Han Fei towards the securitypany. His hands gripped Han Fei tightly as if worried that the man had other ns that he was not sharing. With blood flowing out from his single eye, Drake was already running at full speed but it was not enough to shake the Singer off. He felt very powerless. Before an Unmentionable, even escaping was a luxury. When the Singer felt like it was right behind them, Drake finally arrived at the securitypany. He had no idea what he should do next so he continued to run.
Although by then, he understood that the Singer had fixated on Han Fei’s presence, the chance of them escaping was zero. If Singer was operating on its full power, they wouldn’t have been able to escape this far.
“Drake, carry the urn and bring everyone away from this building. Come back here to look for me at midnight tomorrow!” Due to the extreme circumstances, Han Fei didn’t borate. He grabbed Drake by his shoulder and said, “Trust me.”
Perhaps because he failed to light the altar, the Singer fixed its sight on Han Fei. If they stayed together, they would all die. So the best solution was to abandon Han Fei so that the others could live. At the moment of life and death, not many would be able to make the decision to surrender their own lives to protect others but Han Fei was an exception. His firm tone and unshakeable gaze said one thingpared to his own life, he hoped that his neighbours and colleagues could live.
Drake and the spirits inside the urn knew about these things but because they had been injured so deeply by despair that they stopped believing in anything, but now Han Fei was using his action to help them regain the ‘thing’ that they had lost. Everyone inside the urn witnessed and heard what Han Fei was doing. Throughout this process, Han Fei had no hesitation and conflict, he was sincere. The Song was approaching and Han Fei signalled for Drake to let go. After multiple tries, Drake finally put Han Fei down. “Remember toe back tomorrow at midnight! If I am still alive, you’ll find me here!” By then, the Singer had floated into the securitypany.
After Drake and Lee Zai shattered thepany’s back window and nned to escape, the urn suddenly opened and a ghastly bug crawled out. It was not that clever, it didn’t understand why everyone was running. When everyone made their escape, it toddled innocently towards Han Fei. Han Fei knew it was pointless to exin the n to a bug but to be honest, when he saw Big Sin run towards him, he was quite touched. ‘No wonder people like to keep pets, it’s quite healing.’
To buy more time for his neighbours to escape, Han Fei grabbed Big Sin and got into the elevator. He pressed the button for the second floor. He had no idea whether he would make it or not but there was no other path inside thepany. The elevator door closed too slowly for Han Fei’sfort. When it closed fully, a human silhouette appeared at thepany front door. As the number on the panel rose, Han Fei’s heart raced. Now only he and Big Sin remained. When the number on the elevator turned 2, the song inside the booth suddenly amplified, it felt like something had hooked onto the bottom of the elevator. The red number on the panel flickered until it morphed into a human face. The elevator grinded to a halt. Without giving it much thought, Han Fei peeled the doors open and ran out with Big Sin. The Song followed like a shadow. Han Fei’s face was twisted from the effort of running. With ckening lips, he stared at Big Sin. “Find a good ce to hide, don’t be discovered! Stop following me!” Then he tossed Big Sin down the window on the 2nd floor and he ran down the other director.
The song had already started to reverberate in his mind. Until now Han Fei had not seen the Singer in person but the Song had already upied his mind. He raced down the corridor until the dead end. Han Fei, who was covered in cold sweat leaned on a closed door beside the wall. There was nowhere else to run!
The elevator that he took creaked strangely. The elevator doors opened and closed on their own and blood started to flow. After the blink of an eye, a figure suddenly appeared down the corridor. Han Fei knew that the Singer could dy him from quitting the game so before the thing arrived, Han Fei chose to leave the game lest he was trapped. Blood covered the world and the whole city froze but something was still moving on the corridor before Han Fei!
