Chapter 796: The Children
People got trapped because they thought too much and did too little. Due to his low Life Points, Han Fei had been overly careful. His close brush with death fully eliminated his prohibitions. Instead of dying in an unknown corner, he decided to go crazy before God awakened.
Even though Han Fei and Mad Laughter were two individuals, they silently influenced each other. Those who knew Han Fei well would notice that the shadow of Mad Laughter on Han Fei was getting deeper. The blinding de was the only light on the 25th floor. Those, who had never seen hope, were cut through. Even the pulsating door started to crack with wounds that couldn’t heal.
The smile on the hunchback’s face slowly disappeared. He could deal with Han Fei but not Han Fei and Big Sin. He had survived for a long time on the 25th floor, but he had seen such a dangerous monster for the first time!
The corridor mutated from the Taboo was crushed. The 25th floor was the ce where the Taboo and the False God fought for control but the hideous monster through everything with ease. The man’s body wiggled again. He wanted to swap location with shadow to escape from Big Sin, but he had underestimated Han Fei. Han Fei would not make the same mistake twice. Before the man could melt into Han Fei’s shadow, he noticed something was wrong!
A giant anaconda rose out of Han Fei’s shadow and opened its maw. Xu Qin’s pet couldn’t be categorized by even the system. It was an anomaly that could consume space. It hadn’t fully recovered, so currently, it appeared in the shape of a ck anaconda. As the anaconda bit the man, the shredded paper doll morphed into more tiny dolls and crawled into the man’s body. He screamed. Han Fei and Big Sin came after him. The presence of tragedy was suffocating. Big Sin pinned the man down and shoved the man into its mouth. Even though Han Fei was only level 25, he had many helpers.
“Keep eating!” The killer was now half into Big Sin’s mouth. Then, a new name appeared on Big Sin’s body—Liu Qingchun. After gaining this name, arge shadow appeared beside Big Sin. Big Sin appeared to be slowly digesting Liu Qingchun’s power. Big Sin coughed out a ball of dirty clothes. It looked at the strange human with equal-length legs and arms. It growled. Itsrge body started to wiggle. In the next second, one of its arms reached out of the monster’s shadow and pierced through the monster’s waist. Big Sin was intrigued by its new power. It kept trying to use its different body parts to impale the monster. Due to its overwhelming size, Big Sin couldn’t crawl into the shadowpletely. It could only transfer part of its body through the shadow. This power was very powerful. Han Fei also didn’t expect Big Sin to gain the enemy’s power so easily after gaining their names. “No wonder it’s a moving tragedy. With this growth tragedy, soon it’ll be a living catastrophe.”
Han Fei didn’t release Big Sin that often because he wanted to keep a low profile. However, the situation had changed. He couldn’t keep a low profile anymore.
“I need to obtain a Ghost card on the 25th floor. Based on the mission description, a crazed murderer’s face will be on each Ghost Card. Only the craziest killers will be featured on the cards.” Han Fei looked through Liu Qingchun’s clothes. He didn’t have any cards.
“In a way, the killers here can be categorized into three levels. The lowest is the normal crazies. The medium levels are the ones that have names. The highest level should be those featured on the ghost cards.”
Han Fei didn’t know how it was above floor 50. After killing two people, the lights in the corridor came on again. Han Fei and Li Rou noticed that they had been moved away from their previous corridor. The door was now a wall, and the corner was now a room. The lights above them flickered. Han Fei walked to Li Rou. He was about to call her to leave when he saw Li Rou reach her hand into the dead killer’s body. The expression on her face was strange too.
“What are you doing?” Li Rou was shocked to hear Han Fei. She quickly stood up and hid her left hand behind her. She looked panicked. “We shouldn’t have any secrets from each other. I will help you.”
Li Rou slowly took out her left hand. The bandage over her wrist had been removed. At the ce where the mutated scar was the most intense, there was a child’s mouth. Li Rou said in her unfamiliar voice, “It can drink sinner’s blood to make me stronger and prettier.”
“It does more than that, right?” Han Fei nodded. “I am not that familiar with Deviants. But as long as you’re willing to follow me, I’ll help you be stronger and fulfill my promise to you.” Han Fei had the antagonist’s smile but acted like the protagonist. “At this ce, it’s better we bully others than have others bully us.” He allowed Li Rou to suck the long-armed monster and Liu Qingchun’s blood dry. He didn’t say anything but valued her even more. “We need to find the safe zone. Then we’ll reunite with the others.” Han Fei knew that the 25th floor was not as simple as he thought. However, since he had a mission on this floor, he decided to go along with it. The lights flickered more often. Han Fei was tired of running.
“We’ll hide in the room at the end of the corridor first. When the lights are fully out, we’lle out to hunt. If we can’t find the Life House, we’ll make our own safe zone.” Han Fei was thankful that he had shoved Big Sin into the ghost tattoo. Without Big Sin, his situation would be a lot more dangerous. Han Fei opened the door and allowed Big Sin to charge in. After all, normal ghosts would be no match for Big Sin. Screams echoed in the room. A husband and wife were crushed into meat pies. One wouldn’t know they were bad people until you saw their dining table. A child was tied to the table. One of his arms had been eaten. The other floors at least covered up their sins, but the 25th floor had their sins fly free. The true nature of the skyscraper was revealed. It was a dog-eat-dog world. Han Fei took out some medication to try to treat the boy. The lights in the room went out. The dark corridor changed again.
The sound of a bell chiming came from the other end of the corridor. An olddy was singing a creepy children’s song. The olddy made the song very creepy. When the child on the table heard her, he was so scared that he peed his pants.
“Did you run away from that grandma’s house? Is she your family?” Han Fei tried to get info from the boy, but the boy was scared witless.
“Based on your reaction, that olddy is not a good person.” Han Fei had Big Sin hide its presence. He wanted tounch an ambush. Whenever Han Fei exited the ghost tattoo, the presence of tragedy would rush everywhere. Big Sin appeared to be doing this on purpose to make Han Fei’s life difficult because it clearly could hide its presence when it feasted on the items inside the other altars.
“Don’t hurry. Wait for her toe closer first.” Han Fei patted Big Sin’s head. Following the sound of the song was the sound of bugs crawling. Han Fei looked out through the gap in the door. The ceiling, walls, and floors were crawling with children. The children were all disabled. Some were born disabled, and others were made that way. They looked very pitiable. The children were like enved cats. They were forced to scout ahead. They all stopped before Han Fei’s door.
“She seems very confident in herself. She dares to surround this room after she has sensed Big Sin’s presence?” Han Fei just had that thought when the walls started to rot. The flesh walls were bitten by the children. Innocent faces appeared on the walls. “No wonder only the Life House is safe. The normal walls can’t stop these things.” Han Fei released Big Sin. “Do whatever you want. I won’t hold you back anymore.” Han Fei was afraid that Big Sin would create too much chaos before. But on this floor dominated by a Taboo, he allowed Big Sin free reign.
ck blood filled with Soul Poison oozed out of its body. Big Sin mmed into the ground. With a loud roar, it crashed into the wall. It charged at the source of the children’s song. The 5-meterrge body was like a crushing wave. With its hideous appearance, Big Sin was like the first ghost in the world. Li Rou was so scared that she didn’t dare to speak. Han Fei felt his blood boil. At this moment, he felt truly alive. “It looks like I don’t hate this feeling. I was simply too weak in the past, so my rationality suppressed my nature.” Han Fei had the paper doll standing behind Han Fei. Han Fei exited the room, holding Rest in Peace. The disabled children couldn’t stop Big Sin. They were not on the same level.
“How disgusting to use these innocent children.” Han Fei moved forward. When Han Fei arrived, the song stopped.
Three tall and strong idiots charged into Big Sin. They used their bodies to block Big Sin. Behind the three dummies stood a wicked-looking olddy. She was very well-dressed. In this situation, she even carried a human-skin purse.
“Why does she look so familiar?” Han Fei thought back to the cases he had seen. Many years ago, there was a startling children''s murder case in Xin Lu Countryside. To evade investigation, the human trafficker, Auntie Qing, had her three idiot sons bury all the children she had kidnapped. She was once Xin Lu’s most notorious witch. The normal children would be sold at a high price, but she wouldn’t let the disabled children go either. Based on police records, Auntie Qing broke the legs and arms of the children with intellectual impairment. She then forced them to be beggars.
She was ultimately captured. The thing she had done disgusted the criminals in prison too. She died mysteriously in prison.
“Square represents live burial. She might have the ghost card I need.” Han Fei focused sharply. Other than the ghost card, there was another reason why he valued this olddy that much.
A small number of children were saved by the police back then. Their bodies and souls were damaged. They had many strange mental illnesses.
To cure these children, Immortal Pharma took up the responsibility to cure and look after them. The children tortured by the human trafficker were the first batch of children sent deep into Immortal Pharma’s orphanage.
