My Iyashikei Game - Chapter 995: The End of Fate
No one could touch the sky, but the sea under Han Fei turned clear like the sky. The ghost tattoo was still there. His neighbors called him from the tattoo. Han Fei had never felt so safe before. The sea was connected to the sky. Following the voice in his heart, Han Fei hugged the black box and swam to the edge of the world. A special altar stood there.
When his hands touched the altar, the sky and sea rapidly disappeared. Endless nightmare bubbles gushed into Han Fei’s black box. The last layer of the nightmare was the foundation Dream used to build the world. This sea was where the nightmare bubbles were born. However, everything was flowing into No. 2’s box. The grey mist receded. When Han Fei reacted, he was back in the hospital. He reached out and finally touched Dream’s altar.
Nightmare tentacles reached out of the altar. Just as they were about to tear Han Fei apart, the box exploded with light. The altar door opened. The nightmare owners sensed their families in the box. Dream didn’t have the chance to stop the nightmare owners from inviting the box into the altar.
The butterfly figurine clashed with the box. Dream hadn’t arrived, but it used its consciousness to fight No. 2.
The grey mist around the hospital collapsed as the two Unmentionables fought. Han Fei also didn’t hesitate. He used Rest in Peace to cut the Butterfly figurine. Fu Sheng’s eldest son hated butterfly the most. He had been tortured for so long, and he had been waiting for this moment. He would use the prettiest thing in the world to destroy the world’s ugliest nightmare. The blinding light cut the figurine. Everyone in the main hub could hear the shackles snap.
The pretty butterfly figurine broke into pieces. The black and white box turned into a new figurine!
Han Fei had an idea of what No. 2 was planning. He wanted to start another usurpation. Once one altar was taken over, dark nightmare demons came out of the other ten altars. The sky of the main sky was pierced through by chains. They bound the altar taken over by No. 2. The two Unmentionables fought openly. Han Fei didn’t stay idle. He released all the ghosts from his tattoo. He walked to the other buildings. All this time, Han Fei had been careful, but now that all the nightmares had been shattered, Han Fei stopped worrying. He wanted the players who sided with Dream to understand one thing, the power that came from the cryptic world was cruel and crazy.
“The punishers will be punished.” Han Fei called Shen Luo over. Once he sensed Butterfly’s presence, Han Fei would kill.
With two Top Pure Hatreds, Han Fei had overwhelming ease. No one could stop him. After clearing the last nightmare, Han Fei could enter the other special buildings freely. The grey mist and nightmare couldn’t stop him anymore. Using the shortest amount of time, Han Fei entered the other ten buildings. While Dream’s consciousness was held back by No. 2, Han Fei completed the massacre. He used Rest in Peace to destroy the other ten altars. He fed the altars to Big Sin. Dream’s consciousness in the surface world had no way to exit. It had to fight No. 2 for control of the last altar.
Han Fei and No. 2 purposely left that altar behind so that it would delay Dream. If No. 2 could consume Dream’s consciousness in the surface world, No. 2 would gain an altar and directly take over the supercomputer; Even if No. 2 could not do that, they had already successfully delayed Dream.
“Do the eleven Dream disciples think I can’t find them by hiding in the crowd?” The surface world saw hope. Han Fei and No. 2 could finish everything. Then, they would enter the cryptic world. To prevent accidents in the surface world after they left, Han Fei had to clean up everything, no matter how cruel the process was. “We have multiple choices in our lives. Different choices lead to different places. There is no right or wrong, but people have to be responsible for their choices.”
Shen Luo had infiltrated deeply into Dream’s side. With his help, Han Fei captured many traitors. All the special buildings had been destroyed, so Dream couldn’t take in more players to its side. Han Fei united the top 100 guilds and used Huang Yin’s reputation to gather all the normal players. They cleaned up the street. When Huang Yin announced that the nightmare was broken and the players could soon leave the main hub, Han Fei led Shen Luo onto the street. After he made sure there were no longer any of Dream’s disciples among the high-level players, Han Fei led his neighbors back to the base. Things in the cryptic world had been solved, so it was time for them to return to darkness.
“Even if Dream’s consciousness is heavily injured, No. 2 requires time to complete the usurpation so we can go back first.” Han Fei found the Ziggurat merchant. He looked at the bloody oil paintings and was worried.
“We’ll leave the surface world to Huang Yin. We’re going home!”
The group left the base silently and moved away from the main hub. Outside the city, the grass wilted, and blood oozed out of the ground. The changes in the cryptic world affected the surface world as well. Han Fei’s group returned to the theme park tunnel. Compared to when they came, the tunnel was at least five times larger. Blood seeped everywhere, and the smell of rot gushed out. The tunnel walls turned red. It looked like torn skin with blood capillaries underneath.
The anomalies worried Han Fei. He led his neighbors into the tunnel. After they approached the cryptic world, his neighbors moved faster. They could feel the call of the darkness. But there was an accident too. Big Sin cried in pain. It was not stopped when it tried to leave the cryptic world, but the cryptic world tried to stop it from returning. Han Fei had no choice but to pull it into his tattoo.
Strangely enough, compared to Big Sin and his neighbors, Han Fei was not affected as he traversed between the two worlds. Both worlds welcomed him. The smell of blood thickened. The sky rained blood. The two worlds inverted and tried to consume the other.
“Is the tunnel shorter?”
“Yes. There are more cracks in the walls as well. The sound of the blood wave is behind our ears.”
Han Fei saw the end of the tunnel in less than an hour. With the demon dog barking, they returned to the cryptic world. Han Fei had just left the tunnel when he felt a strange nervousness. He turned and stopped a pair of rotten eyes looking at him from the black mist outside the theme park.
“An Unmentionable not shown in the oil painting?”
As time moved forward, the situation worsened. Han Fei could feel danger coming from all sides. Han Fei called out Big Sin. Han Fei rode it to move through the theme park to find Ghost.
His knife was already broken. Ghost’s presence flickered.
“How long until Dream gets here?”
“I don’t know.” Ghost was stronger than Han Fei, but he felt Han Fei was the main pillar. “Six Unmentionables block the world. We can’t see the sky outside the theme park. Dream might come three days later, or it might come the next minute.”
“Six Unmentionables?” The cryptic world was huge, but there were limited Unmentionables. When there were three Unmentionables, Han Fei was already worried. But now, there were six.
“Three of them are on Dream’s side. The other three are different.” Ghost used the blade to support his weight. “The Unmentionable that attacks the skyscraper is called Beast. It represents humanity’s beast and cruel nature; the bloody man Mad Laughter fought is called Raw. It is a thing made from flesh and blood. It has the scary power of turning everything it touches into meat; The shadow interested in Xu Qin’s altar is called Depression. It’s a Negative Emotion Amalgamation. They are on the same side as Dream. They see you as that person, and they will kill you to take over the black box.”
“The other three are not with Dream?”
“Everyone is out for their best benefit. The other three Unmentionables came from the core of the cryptic world. They might listen to Dream’s commands, but they have their own plans. If there’s a chance, they will take away the black box and betray Dream.” Ghost had been through a lot. “When the cryptic world was sealed, he killed a lot of ghosts which had the potential to become an Unmentionable, but it was still not enough. This world is too despairing.”
Han Fei felt immeasurable pressure.
“I’ll tell you one more thing. Dream knows that you have the black box. It is coming. It only brings with it six Unmentionables. but as time goes on, more ghosts will arrive.” Ghost frowned.
Dream could summon more than six Unmentionables. If they couldn’t kill Dream quickly, it would only get worse.
“I don’t know what path you pick. You didn’t have the power to destroy the cryptic world or the trust of the real world. You can’t fall further into the cryptic world because Dream will torture you to get the black box.” Ghost sighed.
“I know. I have no choice.”
Fu Sheng chose all the children who joined the first batch of experiments. Then, the Unmentionables created the bloodred night. They wanted Fu Sheng to pick the child with the most despair to create the world’s craziest ghost. The Unmentionables didn’t expect Fu Sheng would hide the black box inside Han Fei.
Han Fei would be hunted down. Even if he were to fall, Dream wouldn’t allow it. Therefore, Fu Sheng believed Han Fei would make the same choice as he did.
“No wonder that man could seal Dream into the cryptic world. If I didn’t choose to open the box on both ends, I’ll slowly move on his path, and eventually, he’ll revive through me.” Han Fei knew it was pointless to scold a dead person. He was observed by the Unmentionables in the mist. He had no secrets. Fate had spoken. No. 2’s prophecy was coming true.
