My Iyashikei Game - Chapter 954: Dead?

Han Fei’s greed persona was linked to Wu Chang. He used the persona to sense Wu Chang and instantly got a response. A harrowing scream came from the buildings shrouded by mist. Parts of the butterfly pattern branded on some of the buildings disappeared. The mist stopped spreading temporarily.

“Wu Chang is a Top Pure Hatred and Gao Cheng’s most favored ghost. But even he can’t immediately escape from the nightmare?” Han Fei suspected that Wu Chang entered a nightmare that was different from the players. Wu Chang was most likely transported somewhere else by Dream. Han Fei could feel Wu Chang approaching, but he was very slow. Out of consideration for his safety, Han Fei didn’t urge Wu Chang.

Han Fei waited at the hospital entrance. He took out a pen and paper and jotted down everything he had seen in the nightmares. The passing players saw this and whispered among themselves.

“This morning, I saw three players from Happiness Neighborhood enter the nightmare, but now only two of them are here. Even the first guild will have casualties when exploring this place. This is too scary!”

“Even they can’t escape this unscathed. What about small fries like us?”

“I need to report this to the guild so we can reassess the nightmare’s difficulty.”

“Are you overestimating the power level of Happiness Neighborhood? I admit that Huang Yin is a godlike presence, but it doesn’t mean that every member of his guild is as impressive.”

“You’re right. Perhaps Happiness Neighborhood is not as strong as we thought. Plus, Huang Yin is not trapped here. Can the first guild be considered first when its main member is missing?”

Han Fei didn’t explain himself. At noon, Wu Chang was very close to Han Fei, but he couldn’t break through the last layer of obstacles. Wu Chang was anxious too. Han Fei comforted Wu Chang and then led Bai Xian to the central pavilion. Most guilds had received Han Fei’s mail. This emergency meeting was very important to the trapped players.

The top 100 guilds entered the pavilion. The other guilds astutely stayed at the back.

Through the contribution during the ‘tragedy’, the top 10 guilds were established. The news about the emergency meeting was spread. All the trapped players paid attention to this. Merchant Union even bought all the communication devices in the main hub to livestream this meeting. Even so, many players gathered around the central pavilion to see this event in person. It was almost noon. 99 representatives were there, but the center of the pavilion was left empty. It was reserved for the first guild. Han Fei called for this meeting, so the meeting couldn’t start if he weren’t there.

“I heard that someone from Happiness Neighborhood died in the nightmare. This is not a good sign.”

“They are players, and players will die. That’s normal.”

“It’s hard to join Happiness Neighborhood. Every member is handpicked by Huang Yin. I hear that everyone has to have level A talent. Their members would be the trump cards of any other guilds.”

Everyone was anxious since they were trapped.

“How are we going to proceed when the crowd is so dense?” Bai Xian stood at the fringe of the pavilion and looked at the crowd.

“They’ll make way for us.” Han Fei touched his ghost tattoo. A presence of misfortune gushed out of his body. Branded limbs reached out of the tattoo. Big Sin howled. The sun annoyed Big Sin. Soul Poison leaked everywhere, and its spikes extended. The crowd immediately dispersed. Han Fei and Bai Xian rode on Big Sin as they headed to the center.

“What is that? It’s scarier than the ghost in the nightmare! Why would such a thing exist in this game?”

“It can’t be identified?”

“I’m not sure. But is it possible that the monster is a pet of someone in Happiness Neighborhood?” A female player holding a rabbit shook as she looked at Big Sin. The ground trembled. Big Sin left behind a cursed trail. Even after it left, no players dared to move near the trail. Bai Xian also saw this for the first time. Thankfully, he was a professional actor so he didn’t show shock in his eyes. Han Fei finally came to the center of the pavilion.

“The top 100 guilds are all here. Shall we start the discussion on the nightmare?” The leader of the Merchant Union waved his hand. All the devices in the main hub were switched on.

“As Deep Space Tech, we’ll start.” As someone ‘official’, the leader of Deep Space Tech walked out. He became with a pointless apology and followed up with empty promises. He said that the headquarters was finding a solution. Escape was only a matter of time. He told everyone not to worry.

The players had heard similar empty promises before. They needed someone who could solve the problem. After the man from Deep Space Tech finished, most players were dissatisfied. Even people from the top 100 guilds voiced their suspicion.

This wasn’t Deep Space Tech’s fault. The technicians were also stumped that the game suddenly became like this. They couldn’t contact the real world, so they had no idea what was happening outside. They only knew that the hackers of the three criminal organizations had been attacking the company’s supercomputer. They had no idea what the problem was, so they could only give empty promises. As the complaints grew louder, the man from Deep Space Tech glanced at Han Fei. After all, he was the one who called for the meeting.

“Let me talk about something more realistic.” Han Fei stepped on the stage. “I believe many players saw my friend and me enter the city this morning. Most of our guild’s players are not trapped in the game, but we still insisted on coming here.” When Han Fei entered the city this morning, it caused a great commotion. They were the only players who went against the grain. These simple words won Han Fei a lot of respect. The players knew that they hadn’t been abandoned.

“Now, I will share with you everything I know.” Han Fei placed the info on the stage. “First, I need to tell you one thing. In real life, Deep Space Tech and Xin Lu Police are trying their best to rescue us, but they’re being held back by some kind of force in the game.” Han Fei pointed at the altars in the city. “The Perfect Life you play is filled with uplifting emotions. You gain positive energy here, but you have left behind your negative energy when you leave. They accumulated to form a scary world that is completely opposite from this one. These altars are the malice of that world. It is a pure evil that is preventing you from leaving. It wants to drag you into despair. Now, we can’t rely on others. We need to save ourselves. Only by destroying the altars can we end everything!”

Many players didn’t get it. Some of the players from the top 10 guilds were confused too. “There was a rumor that the negative emotions of the players in Perfect Life are stored in the hidden maps. Those maps are extremely wicked, and they were Immortal Pharma Director’s greatest creations. But following his death, all those maps have been deleted!”

“But you have to know something. The Perfect Life you know takes up only 5 percent of the whole world. The other 95 percent is ‘abandoned’ hidden map.” Han Fei opened both sides of the black box. He didn’t plan to destroy the cryptic world. The players needed to know about the cryptic world, and he even planned to use the players to heal the despair of the cryptic world.

“How can you be so sure?” The representative from Absolute Truth was sharp. “Did you come from there?”

Han Fei scanned the players from Absolute Truth with a smile.

At the same time, a giant boom came from the hospital!

The grey mist around the hospital was blown away. The northern wall of the hospital collapsed. A man in a black robe was bitten by endless dream demons as he walked out of the hospital. He was covered in wounds, but he didn’t bleed. The black flame danced in his eyes. The dream demons wanted to drag the man back into the hospital, but they couldn’t do it. After leaving the mist, the man started to consume the demons instead. The image was cruel and gory.

The players screamed and ran. They thought the ghost had escaped from the nightmare!

The hatred pulled back. After eating all the demons, the man walked to the middle of the pavilion silently. He walked along the cursed trail and finally stopped beside Han Fei.

The mist gathered around the hospital again, but the broken wall proved that it was not an illusion. This ‘player’ from Happiness Neighborhood could destroy the building covered by grey mist!

This scene was broadcasted everywhere. Many players were gathered at the pavilion, but no one dared to say anything. Even the people from the top 10 guilds cleverly shut down. They listened to Han Fei attentively.

“It’s fine. If you have any questions, you can ask.” Han Fei stared at the people from Absolute Truth. “I’m a reasonable person.”
