My Iyashikei Game - Chapter 910: Hope City's Last Hope
The ghost territory was like the night sky. In comparison, Han Fei appeared so small. More than ten powerful Pure Hatreds flew about in the sky. To enter the ghost territory, one had to fight back several Pure Hatreds at the same time. No one inside Hope City could do that, so they could only retreat.
Han Fei could sense the curse imbued within the ghost territory. It was not something a normal person could resist. The power of persona was limited. God made sure the persona users had limited power.
“Is this the present they’ve prepared for Gao Xing?” God’s eyes slowly opened. The Executioner’s sins bound on Han Fei. He grabbed Rest in Peace. Humanity glowed like stars and cut on the ghost territory. The greater the sin, the sharper the blade. This blade that didn’t belong to the altar world cut through the power of the Pure Hatreds so that light could shine into the ghost territory. An opening appeared, but no one noticed it. Everyone was too caught up in the murders. Compared to the overall ghost territory, this opening was nothing. Left on its own, it would heal in less than 10 seconds.
“Tong Xin! Evil Soul!” Two giant ghost hands grabbed the side of the opening. The black flame in their heart burned. The presence of destruction spread. “The world is surrounded by pain and despair. How can I stand there and give up everything I love to the person I hate?” Greed, ambition, and mist came out from behind Han Fei. It swallowed all the sins in the world. “I am evil and insane. I work with ghosts and submerge in despair. However, I’m still willing to be a fire and burn in the night to guide the way for the kind and the lost.”
Han Fei took a deep breath. As he activated the greed persona, he also triggered the healing persona. The persona fragments in his mind glowed. The stars shone on Rest in Peace. The world’s gentlest knife glimmered. All the souls who were willing to follow Han Fei affected each other. Rest in Peace changed tremendously in this altar world. The blinding light chased all the dirt back.
The blade fell. Nothing could stop it, not even a Pure Hatred.
The giant ghost territory cracked. Light filtered through. The survivors trapped inside finally saw the ‘sun’ for the first time in three days.
“Look! The sun is coming up!”
“Is it dawn?”
“It’s reinforcement!”
“All the persona users from the three bases are here. Who else can open the ghost territory? Stop dreaming. This has to be a trick. They want to confuse me! Such cunningness!”
“No… It really looks like someone is attacking the ghost territory from the outside!”
The people on the battlefield noticed this anomaly. More and more people noticed the light. At first, it was weak, but slowly, as the ghost territory around it crumbled, brighter light shone into everyone’s eyes. To protect the survivors, all the persona users stepped forward. They abandoned their differences and worked together, but that still couldn’t change much. Everyone was fighting to their death. They murdered the ghosts, but the despair in their hearts grew. The ending seemed to be written. More and more humans died, but there seemed to be an endless swarm of ghosts. In that situation, the light brought hope to all the survivors.
The persona users with eight awakenings sensed the anomaly as well. They knew how hard it was to break down the ghost territory. In their impression, there was not one eight-awakening persona user who could tear down a ghost territory made by several Pure Hatreds.
“Director, shall we go to take a look?” The leader of Investigation Team 1 was covered in wounds. In three days, he had reached the seventh awakening, but he was dying as well.
“Who would come at a time like this?” Li Xue stood in the lobby of the headquarters. Her feet were covered in blood. She killed all the Hope City admins who betrayed Hope City and Ghost Card criminals. These traitors planned to sell the city out. They would let the Pure Hatreds in at night and use Gao Xing’s figurines to complete the blood sacrifice. However, they didn’t expect Li Xue’s arrival. They also didn’t expect the Pure Hatreds to go out of control and attack Hope City much earlier than planned. Their conspiracy was crushed. The blood sacrifice became a massacre instead.
Not only the survivors but also the ghosts saw the light. The Pure Hatreds who formed the ghost territory knew how powerful it was. However, the new arrival radiated hatred and death much stronger than any Pure Hatred present.
They also didn’t know who this ‘reinforcement’ was.
The soul representing Gao Xing’s past had been killed. All the ghosts in the old city gathered here, so it was normal for the Pure Hatreds to think that way. It was like someone pressed a pause button as humans and ghosts turned in the same direction.
Endless sins and black mist gushed through the opening. The light of humanity was mixed in the sea of mist. As the evil flame weaved with the starlight, a figure holding a butcher’s knife appeared.
“He looks familiar.”
“If there’s a person who can tear through a ghost territory built by more than 10 Pure Hatreds, we would have heard of them.”
Fish of hatred leaped out of the water. The sea of mist spread. Han Fei looked at Hope City, which had already turned into a fleshy ruin. “Gao Cheng?!”
“It’s Gao Cheng!”
“The teacher from class seven is here!”
Han Fei’s lonely figure was very small compared to the large ghost territory. The opening behind him was rapidly healing. However, no one expected what would happen next. Six Pure Hatreds grabbed the edges of the opening. The Pure Hatreds tore open the sky behind Han Fei. Ghost faces appeared behind Han Fei. A giant ghost walked in after that!
The survivors of Hope City were stunned. They had never seen a person who could control so many Pure Hatreds!
The balance of the battlefield tipped. The persona users from Hope City and Freedom Port were not familiar with Han Fei. But when the center members saw Han Fei, they started to launch the counterattack. Many of them knew how capable Han Fei was. In their minds, Han Fei was a miracle worker.
“Since the ghosts want to sacrifice Hope City, then they have to be prepared to be shattered by the survivors. That’s only fair.”
Han Fei released all the ghosts from the ghost abyss. If Gao Xing had raised the 13th tragedy, then Han Fei could cause the 14th tragedy on his own. “Go and feast! All the souls are served at the dining table. Join the feast.”
Blood rained. The sky, earth, and city were dyed red. Han Fei could hear a heart beating in the world of sins. Immortal couldn’t wait to come out. “Should I release it?”
Han Fei soon eliminated that idea. There were traitors in Hope City. He couldn’t show all his trump cards. Han Fei charged at the frontline. Han Fei was the scariest tragedy. All the ghosts would be eaten if they got closer to him.
The survivors regained hope. They followed Han Fei and continued their fight!
