Chapter 742: Another Butterfly?
The theme park had 15 unique buildings, and nine of them could be used normally. Their names sounded so fun, but they were actual death traps. All the unique buildings needed fresh blood to run. A hundred people would y, and only one person would survive and get the reward.
With the clown as his guide, Han Fei got to know the theme park. He had a strange bond with each building like he used to y with them often. Mad Laughter was deep inside the Red Orphanage, so Han Fei couldn’tmunicate with him. But based on various observations, Mad Laughter used to live here. Han Fei tried to ask the clown, but he deflected all the questions. Then, he would mimic Mad Laughter and cackle.
“Of all the buildings, this is the most important. It’s why I’ve left it forst.” The clown rode on the wooden horse. He led Han Fei to the deepest building in the theme park. On the surface, the building looked like a worker’s hostel. It didn’t look too special.
“It has a special name. It’s called No. 0’s theme park.”
“No. 0’s theme park?” Han Fei suspected that Mad Laughter was either No. 1 or No. 0. The existence of this building proved that the theme park was built for Mad Laughter.
“You can go in to take a look. Actually, it’s just a ce for children to y house. Many ghosts would be brainwashed to be workers after they’ve entered this building.” The clown said with jealousy. “It’s a shame that I don’t know how to use this building. I only have the right to activate and deactivate it.”
Han Fei paused at the door for a while before opening it. Instantly, the notification came. “Notification for yer 0000! You’ve obtained Grade D Unique Building—No. 0’s Theme Park.
“No. 0’s theme park (Grade D): This theme park is ultimately yours alone. The whole theme park has no real visitors other than you. Your friends, families, and colleagues are your own creations to make yourself feel better. You are the loneliest child in the world. You’ll always be trapped here!
“Warning! This special building has seven rooms. They are named from Monday to Sunday. Each room has its own story. If the soul trapped inside the building couldn’t clear the seven stories within a week, then they will be lost in the building and be a part of the stories.
“Warning! This building works on Unmentionable too, but each usage will require a sacrifice of the same power. The greater the sacrifice, the higher the sess rate.
“Warning! No. 0’s theme park is this area’s unique building. It’s also the foundation of this theme park. All the visitors you see now are made from this building. The more you use this building, the scarier it’ll be. It’ll also be more effective!”
Han Fei looked inside the building. Mad Laughter, who had been silent, was suddenly triggered. A pair of bloodred eyes opened. They looked at the same ce, but they saw seven different scenarios. Han Fei saw seven simply-decorated rooms, while Mad Laughter seemed to see seven gory scenes. Heughed excitedly inside the Red Orphanage.
“yer 0000, do you wish to use No. 0’s Theme Park? Please send the sacrifice into thest room!”
“No!” Han Fei was so focused on this building that he forgot about the clown. When he came out, the clown was gone. All he left behind was a bloody wooden horse. “He has left to venture deeper into chaos.” A familiar voice came from behind No. 0’s Theme Park. The heavily-injured Spider sat in the shadows. He held a small piece of the altar.
“Thank you. Be it the fight against butterfly, or in Fu Sheng’s altar, without your help, I wouldn’t survive until now.” Han Fei was very thankful. He got Rest in Peace from Spider. Furthermore, Spider had hidden in the protective talisman and had helped Han Fei twice already.
“The old man chose me first, but the ck box refused to acknowledge me.” Spider couldn’t understand it. “Perhaps I’m too optimistic.” He stood up and swayed. He looked so tired.
“You’ve grown to a state where you don’t need my protection anymore. You’ll have to rely on yourself now.” Spider walked out of the shadow. Eight strange shadows stood behind him. “Don’t hate that old man. He has shown you his life. After I slowly forget about him, you’ll be the only person who can still remember him. Your review of him will be the conclusion of his life.”
“I don’t know how to review Fu Sheng. I don’t have the rights to.”
“Your future path will be more difficult. I hope you can stay true to your choice.” Spider walked out of the theme park. “I need toplete my other promise to the old man. I need to help him deliver a letter.”
“Are you leaving too?” Han Fei asked. Spider was a very unique Pure Hatred. He was mature and knew many secrets.
“We might meet again.” Then, Spider stopped and said, “Among your friends, Xu Qin has the easiest time bing an Unmentionable. She only needs to collect enough curses.”
“Millions of different curses are not that easy to collect.”
“But that should be the easiest. You should treasure her.” Spider waved. “Other than that, before you’re ready, do not explore the northern side. There are some bad things there.”
“Understood.” Han Fei stared at Spider. Then, he chased after him. “There’s no more talisman for me?” Spider finally smiled as he shook his head. He left through the northern gate.
“Both the clown and Spider have left. It’s a shame that I’ve lost two Pure Hatreds.” Han Fei couldn’t force them to stay. Han Fei added his attributes and checked his mission info. He noticed that he had missed an important one.
“You’vepleted random altar mission 35—Full marks. You’ve gained 100 points. You can pick a theme park worker who has approved of you out of the altar.” In the altar world, there were many theme park workers who approved of Han Fei, but the strongest was definitely the manager, Ghost. “If I can bring him out, it’ll be perfect. But the altar is crushed now. I wonder if I can still summon him out.” Han Fei decided to give it a try. Han Fei started to focus on Ghost. Momentster, Han Fei’s menu cracked. It reminded him of when he used the Spiritfarer power. “This is not right!” Blood covered everything. Han Fei’s menu slowly opened. At the same time, a light sound came from the altar inside the maze. A fleeting consciousness reached into the ghost door like a fishing line. A terrifying presence came from inside the door. A few secondster, a broken arm grabbed the line. The door trembled. The person under the sea was dragged out before the door closed. The fishing line slid through the single-arm into the consciousness that was dragged out. The old man recovered some of his memory. His muddled eyes looked at Han Fei. He asked uncertainly. “Han Fei? Haven’t I been killed by Human and Dream?”
Some of Ghost’s memories had been wiped. He only had part of his memory left. Han Fei couldn’t tell if he was still looking at the same Ghost. “Do you remember giving me yourst vote inside the Heart Hotel?”
“Yes, I did.” Ghost looked around and saw the ten thousand wandering souls. He seemed to understand something. “Am I back in the cryptic world? Has Fu Sheng ultimately failed?” “I can help you with your memory. But I’ll need your help to manage the theme park.” Han Fei had a good impression of Ghost. Ghost was also the only manager who went around helping people after the tragedy fell.
“I don’t think I have the capability to be the manager anymore. My connection with the first-generation ghost has been severed.”
“It doesn’t matter. You’re now friends with the new ‘first-generation ghost’.” Han Fei pointed at himself and shook Ghost’s hand. When he touched Ghost, the system rang out.
“Notification for yer 0000! You’ve gained Yin Kui’s approval. As the theme park’s former Ghost manager, he has a very unique talent.
“Yin Kui (Broken Soul, potential Grade C): Your friendliness level with him is too low to get his information.”
“Grade C?” Han Fei was stunned. Even the group picture of all the children at the orphanage was only a Grade D object, but Yin Kui was Grade C. This was Han Fei’s first time encountering someone with Grade C. ‘I have to befriend Ghost!’
After that, Han Fei led Yin Kui around the theme park. As he introduced the new theme park, he helped Yin Kui with his memory. Yin Kui had lost most of his memories so he only nodded along. They finally came to the final building, No. 0’s Theme Park. Yin Kui asked to go inside. The building looked different to everyone. Han Fei watched Yin Kui enter Room 1. He waited outside for an hour, but Yin Kui didn’te out. “Is he trapped inside?”
…
When Shen Luo crawled out of his high-end gaming hub, he copsed to the ground. It felt like his world was spinning. “I remember I… Strange. When did I log into the game?”
Shen Luo rubbed his head. He was about to stand up when a few scary images appeared in his mind. The endless limbs were pieced together. Aughing madman walked out and stood in the bloody theme park. Shen Luo smacked his face and repeated. “This is all an illusion!”
The lights in the kitchen suddenly came on. The wooden door opened on its own, and a figure appeared at the door.
“Do you need anything?” The robotic voice said. Shen Luo stared at the AI butler he bought two years ago. For some reason, he felt fearful. The thing looked too much like a human.
“Nothing. Go back to your station.” Shen Luo gave the order. The AI butler turned around. It walked toward the kitchen and then stopped. Its neck turned slowly around until its head was 180 degrees around. The human-like face was distorted. “Do you really don’t need anything?”
“No!” Shen Luo screamed in fear. When he turned to the kitchen again, the AI Butler was back where it was supposed to be.
“What’s going on? Is there something wrong with my brain? Howe everything feels so strange to me?” Shen Luo pushed himself off the ground. “Why do I keep remembering things that didn’t happen to me!” He looked down and saw the injuries on his arms that looked like a pair of butterfly wings.
“How could I be injured in the gaming hub? Where did thise from?” Shen Luo rushed into the bathroom. He tried to wash the wounds, but the wounds wouldn’t disappear. To make things worse, he felt like a butterfly had flown into his brain. The butterflynded on his brain. He wanted to crack open his head to pull the butterfly out.
“What is happening?!” The water dripped from the mirror. Shen Luo lifted his head. When he looked at the mirror, he noticed that his AI Butler had mysteriously appeared at the bathroom door.
