My Iyashikei Game - Chapter 896: Pure Hatred Collector
“Leader, the ally you mentioned are ghosts?” Dong Quan respected Han Fei, but due to that, he was confused when he saw Han Fei being with ghosts. The center hated ghosts the most. It was okay to enslave them but to fight alongside them? Most people in the center wouldn’t agree.
“Teacher Gao, what is going on? Why do you have private relationships with ghosts?” Not only Dong Quan, the other members of Team 13 were confused as well. To the other survivors, it felt like they had been tricked.
“This is one of the reasons why I have to leave the center.” Han Fei stood between the black merchants and the survivors. “There’s more than one way for ghosts and humans to coexist than enslavement. Humans feed on human’s negative emotions, and human fear turns into ghosts. This is a bond between humans and ghosts.” Han Fei used a lot of effort to console the survivors. “Our allies are different from the ghosts outside. They believe in a different God.”
The shadow spread, and the black merchants took out a mud figurine. This figurine was heavily damaged. It was not the one from under An Kang Pharmacy.
“I will provide a safe and peaceful place for everyone, whether you’re humans or ghosts.” The children’s hospital was cleaned up. All the Scorpion Fathers and Snake Mothers were sacrificed to the figurine. The rest of the survivors were saved. The children who were corrupted by the Baby of Hatred were cured by Han Fei through the starlight. The whole base breathed with life again. After the situation calmed down, Han Fei had team 13 gather all the survivors to the street. He hoped that they could drip one drop of their blood on the mud figurine. When they bonded with God, their faith would become Mad Laughter’s power. After an Unmentionable died, no one would remember them. Han Fei was doing the opposite. He wanted more people to remember Mad Laughter. There were only 2000 survivors at the children’s hospital. However, perhaps that was enough to bring change to the figurine. The facial expressions became clearer.
“I need more faith. Endless faith is more suitable for Mad Laughter than a blood sacrifice!” After the survivors returned to their rooms, night fell. Han Fei stood before the figurine and silently opened the greed abyss. Black mist covered the street and shielded Han Fei from view. He walked onto the altar to hold the figurine’s hands. “I don’t think sacrificing a whole city is a right choice. I’ll use another path to revive us. We’ll change fate and the world, but we won’t change ourselves. The kids said that you’ve become the way you’ve hated the most, but even though you’ve made those choices, I think you’re still you.”
Han Fei handed the souls he absorbed at the Deep Sea aquarium and the sacrifice he had collected to Mad Laughter. The wounds on the figurine healed. The skin became clearer, and blood started to pump under the shell. Han Fei felt like the person before he came alive. The person who knew him best was looking at him.
“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve completed a new sacrifice! The sacrifice level is Pure Hatred! Congratulation on obtaining a large amount of EXP! “Notification for Player 0000! You’ve leveled up to level 29! You’ve obtained 1 free attribute point!”
After Mad Laughter sacrificed himself, Han Fei gained EXP at an impossible speed. He was only one level away from gaining a third profession!
“A new hidden profession would be very helpful to me. Hopefully, I can unlock that before God’s birthday.” Han Fei pulled back the mist and summoned the black merchants and the members of Team 13 to the hospital to discuss the next step of the plan. The map was placed on the table. The black merchants and the members occupied opposite sides of the table. Both sides felt uncomfortable.
“I know you are still not used to it, but I want to tell you something.” Han Fei turned to Dong Quan. “There are many Pure Hatreds in Zone A breeding living humans. If we want to save them, we need to rely on the black merchants. Without their help, more of us will die.”
Han Fei then turned to the black merchants. “If we want to replace the Old God with a New God, we need to have change. We need survivors to provide faith. You still retain your humanity. You don’t need me to teach you what to do, right?”
Han Fei didn’t have time to deal with internal problems. He gave the last order. “The black merchants will follow me to the other bases to rescue the survivors. That will improve the human’s impression of them. The survivors here will be assigned to restart a new life. When I’m gone, Yan Lan will be the leader, and Dong Xuan will assist her.”
“You’re going to go hunt Pure Hatreds with ghosts?” Dong Quan was suspicious. “Are they really trustworthy?”
“They were once humans like you.”
When the bell chimed for midnight, Han Fei and Ah Nian left with base with many black merchants. Soon, this news would spread. Han Fei wanted to collect as much faith as possible for Mad Laughter before that. At the same time, Han Fei wanted to check his limits. He wanted to see how long he could last after endless battles with Pure Hatred. “I need to carve a way through to Gao Cheng’s mother.” No one was as crazy as Han Fei. Info on the buildings flashed in Han Fei’s mind. His eyes burned with greed. It was like he wanted to swallow the whole city!
The black merchants lowered their heads and followed Han Fei silently. They really treated Han Fei as the God in their hearts. The two shadows kept overlapping. Ah Nian’s friendliness level with Han Fei increased too. He saw the future and hope in Han Fei.
“Let’s go!”
Lingering Spirits were made into fertilizer for the new world, and Pure Hatreds became prey. Since the start of the tragedy, no one had managed to corner the ghosts to such a state before. One night, Han Fei killed two Pure Hatreds. When he planned to drag the third into the abyss, the sky turned red. A bloodred shock of lighting landed around him. An eye appeared to open in the sky. At that moment, Han Fei felt like he was being stared at by something scary. His heart froze. It was only for a few seconds, but the sky at Zone A turned deep red like the clouds had been dyed by blood.
“Notification for Player 0000! Since you keep violating the rules, Gao Xing’s altar world has entered the third stage!
“All the limitations on ghosts have disappeared! Influenced by God, the ghosts have become more hostile and dangerous.
“Daytime becomes shorter! The path to the cryptic world becomes unstable. The 13th tragedy might arrive earlier than expected.
“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve acquired the super rare permanent title—Pure Hatred Collector!
“Pure Hatred Collector: You’ve trapped 3 Pure Hatreds within 24 hours. One has to possess great power and twisted psychology to own this title! All your attributes increase by 1! Your max SAN value increases by 10! Pure Hatred’s damage on you lowers by 1 percent! Your damage on Pure Hatred increases by 1! When you encounter a Pure Hatred for the first time, there’s a chance they will be terrified of you!”
“Terrified by me? Is there something wrong with the description of this title?”
Standing under the starlight, Han Fei watched the third Pure Hatred being dragged into the abyss. At the same time, his body collapsed. Including the Baby of Hatred, Han Fei had hunted four Pure Hatreds in one night. His body was at its limit.
“Baby of Hatred, Thousand Faces, Medicine Ghost, and Mr. Evil Soul. I’ve met many persona users, but none of them are like you.” Ah Nian had the data of Immortal Pharma in his mind, but even the database didn’t contain monsters like Han Fei.
“The night will get longer. We need to send the survivors back to the Bao Kang base.” Han Fei saved many survivors. Many bases wouldn’t keep these ill and old survivors. Some of them were cursed too. Only Han Fei, with the healing persona, could save them. Fresh blood landed on the figurine. The survivors gave up faith in exchange for health from the healing starlight.
“The speed by which faith collects is still too slow.” Han Fei turned to look deep into Zone A. “I remember Ghost Mother has saved many people. Many weaker ghosts listen to her order too.” The path to the core of Zone A had been opened. Gao Cheng and he didn’t want to wait anymore.
