Han Fei’s consciousness stood at the edge of the abyss. He lifted his head and looked at the single star in the sky. All his choices and actions made Han Fei. The star was still dim, but it was always there. The abyss echoed with the howls of demons. The negative emotions festered but the star glowed softly. Everyone Han Fei had saved held up the star in the night. “Is that my persona?”
Ghosts couldn’t leave the abyss. They feared the star. The greed mist was suppressed. Han Fei bathed in the light of humanity. His mental trauma was slowly healing.
“Even without ghost blood, I can cleanse mental corruption. The persona is too powerful!” The star was still weak so the healing was slow. However, as Han Fei became stronger, so would his persona. “It’s so comfortable.” Han Fei’s consciousness sat at the edge of the abyss. His legs dangled in the abyss and bathed in the starlight. The healing persona was very special. Plus, it was not natural. Han Fei gained it through his many actions!
He was not gifted anything. This persona was the proof of his soul. “I should try to heal others. Perhaps the more I use this power, the stronger it’ll be.” Han Fei didn’t touch the things left behind by Ma Jing. He didn’t want to be tied to the man’s death. Han Fei tried his best, but Ma Jing still committed suicide. Han Fei returned to his ‘weak’ form. He walked out of An Kang Pharmacy with difficulty. Wang Chuqing had been guarding outside.
“Is Ma Jing dead?” Wang Chuqing could guess the ending when he saw that Ma Jing didn’t come out with Han Fei.
“We didn’t see Ma Jing tonight, and we have nothing to do with his disappearance.” Han Fei said seriously. Wang Chuqing nodded. “You’re right. Can we go back to the school now?”
“Wait.” Han Fei stared at Wang Chuqing. “Your wife’s death left a huge scar on your heart.”
“Mind your business.”
“Do you wish to have that scar healed?” Han Fei wanted to complete the mission, and Teacher Wang was a good patient.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Healed?” Wang Chuqing carefully moved away from Han Fei, “You are very cunning. If you dare to target me, then I’ll die with you?”
“How can you think that of me? I just want to share some tokens of friendship with you.” Han Fei felt wronged. “You can tell that to Ma Jing’s dead body.” Wang Chuqing wrapped the blade back with the cloth. “I’m going back. You coming?” Teacher Wang’s tone was cold, but he was indeed concerned about Han Fei.
“If we return together, it’ll be too suspicious.”
“Don’t stay outside for too long. I hope to see you again tomorrow.” Wang Chuqing handed the box with the ghost blood and the spirit’s heart to Han Fei and disappeared into the night.
“Why is it so hard to save people these days?” Han Fei had just awakened the healing persona so he wouldn’t waste time. He would hunt and gain more power. “Four ghosts can’t make an abyss. I need to find more ghosts to swallow.”
Ghosts with special power were hard to find. Plus, it was harder to consume them. Han Fei took out Gao Cheng’s note. Other than the three Strange Buildings, Gao Cheng had explored the Black Building in Zone C3, Xin Lu’s Third Mental Hospital.
“The note says that the hospital is separated into the main yard and side yard. The Pure Hatred stays in the main yard, and the side yard has many ghosts that are unique to this place. Plus, it has much medicine to heal mental wounds.
“The side yard is not dangerous. Some of the ghosts can be reasoned with. Gao Cheng seems to know one of them.”
Han Fei memorized the name, Shang Nv. Based on Gao Cheng’s description, she was the nurse leader of the hospital, and Gao Cheng had once helped her.
“Gao Cheng is not simple to have dealings with black merchant and ghosts from the Black Building. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he struggles, he is just a toy for Gao Xing. He gave Gao Cheng hope to crush him later.” Han Fei quickly made a choice. “To know the world’s rules, I need to interact with the Pure Hatred. The hospital will have many souls that need healing. My persona should be able to shine there.” The black building Wang Chuqing drew was this building. Han Fei wanted to scout ahead. Based on the map, Han Fei found a bicycle and rode in the dark. Han Fei arrived at the center of Zone C at midnight. The hospital was 100 meters away. The place was forbidden. All the ghosts avoided this place.
“The building is twice as big as it is in real life. It has consumed the buildings around it. This Black Building appears to know how to grow.” Han Fei wanted to retreat as he was faced with the giant hospital. He put on the cap and hesitated for a long time before he approached the Black Building.
The sound of a music box came from who knew where. This hospital appeared to be tragedy’s present for the night.
“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve discovered Black Building—Xin Lu’s Third Mental Hospital. You’ve triggered altar mission, Confusion.
“Confusion: Enter the hospital and maintain your sanity after conversing with ten patients.”
Han Fei didn’t expect to trigger a mission the moment he approached the black building. “Where does the music come from? It sounds like someone is playing music and singing.”
Han Fei avoided the front door and crawled over the wall of the sideyard. It was a different world inside the wall. The outside of the hospital was still and silent, but the inside was filled with different noises. Han Fei couldn’t tell the voices. There were arguments, laughter, cries, water drops, footsteps, and so on. Even if he closed his ears, the sounds echoed in his mind. They were like incurable diseases.
“A normal person will go crazy after staying here for too long.” The building before him was like a chaotic nightmare. It would twist all the souls.
“I only need to avoid the main yard.” Han Fei memorized everything related to Shang Nv. She often appeared on the third floor of the side yard. Han Fei pushed open the glass door of the sideyard. His heart started to pound. The darkness wiggled in the corridor. Wiping away the cold sweat, Han Fei assumed a defensive pose. Every inch of this building radiated evil. The ghost in the cap was shivering.The sourcᴇ of this content is novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt
“The mission requires me to talk to ten patients. Are the patients humans or ghosts?” After interacting too much with mad people, normal people would go crazy too.
“I can’t waste time. I need to go to the third floor. If Shang Nv is not there, I’ll leave immediately.” Han Fei had greatly underestimated the Black Building. He had just entered, and he felt something was off. The danger was not specific to any ghost, but the whole building was strange. This place was shrouded in danger. The walls had writings that looked normal, but after a while, they turned into gibberish.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Sending the students here for the exam is killing them. I need to change this future!” Han Fei used Cursed Words to convince himself. There was a man in the patient’s garb at the corner. He faced the wall like a student who had made a mistake.
“A ghost?” The black mist slowly floated out. Han Fei approached. The patient didn’t seem to notice Han Fei. He kept mumbling to himself. “I’m not sick. I’m normal… Why am I here? Why do you leave me here? Why?” He slammed his head into the wall. Blood dripped down the wall. Han Fei activated the black mist and consumed the patient.
Out of Han Fei’s expectation, the patient wasn’t a ghost but a human trapped here.
“A normal human can survive here?! Why would the Pure Hatred keep these humans?” Han Fei frowned. The Pure Hatred here was very special. He had a special dealing with the headmaster and kept humans around.
“Don’t worry. I’m here to save you.” The black mist isolated the outside world. Han Fei gripped the patient. He tried to use his healing persona. The starlight shone on the patient’s soul. The twisted soul was caressed. Ugly emotions floated out of his heart. He slowly walked out of terror.
“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve healed 1 patient!”
Han Fei sighed. But when he pulled back his hands, the patient collapsed like a puppet.
“This shouldn’t be.”
Han Fei really wanted to save him, but he ended up killing the patient.
Han Fei entered his consciousness and noticed the star shone brighter. After he healed the patient, the patient joined his persona.
“This appears to be his choice. His biggest wish is to leave this hospital, so I’ve helped him. Yes, I did.”
