Chapter 820: Choice
We came from abyss and hell. We had the same name. We embraced night and were made into bottles filled with nightmares, floating on the sea of despair. Don’t be sad for us because we are born for this.
Han Fei’s three souls combined with No. 2’s brain fragments. He had the power to use their abilities, and his fate was bound to the fragments. The 30 figures in the Red Orphanage couldn’t leave the classroom. Mad Laughter didn’t mean to let them out either. However, Han Fei’s fate threads fell into his mind. The children stood still. The bloody shadow on the left-hand side slowly raised his arm. Everything was destined. The children had witnessed this many years ago. The bloody shadow raised his arm. The fate thread that pierced through Han Fei’s brain fell into the Red Orphanage. Without Han Fei and Mad Laughter’s permission, the bloody shadow that sat at the edge of the classroom gripped Han Fei’s fate. The bell echoed in mind. The wheel of fate turned. The classroom door of the Red Orphanage was opened for the first time. The bloody shadow held Han Fei’s fate, sat on the wheelchair, and appeared at the classroom door.
“We came from abyss and hell. We are wounded. We walk through darkness to jump into flame. Our ash scatters the sky. Don’t be sad for us because we are born for this.”
The darkest memory Mad Laughter carried was released. The bloody shadows exited the classrooms. Their bodies were fader than before. Part of their death memory had been moved by Mad Laughter to the brain of another lucky child. If the person weren’t there to help Han Fei share the brain, Han Fei’s memory would shatter once the No. 2 shadow exited the classroom. The Taboos in real life and memory were unlocked at the same time. Han Fei’s fate was bound with thirty children. The Red Orphanage dominated Han Fei’s brain. Without the three souls, Han Fei’s consciousness sunk. His memory was crushed by the Red Orphanage.
He couldn’t resist. It was as if he existed for this purpose. He looked up, and the gate of the Red Orphanage was open. The world’s 30 ghastliest monsters stood in the sea of blood. They looked at Han Fei in the ocean and slowly parted. The bell stopped. The laughter that carried endless pain began. Mad Laughter stood in the middle of the thirty children. He started to take over Han Fei’s body.
“You won’t be able to support this pain. Take a good nap. Don’t interfere.” Mad Laughter and thirty children walked to the gate. Their revenge started.
The human pillar on the 61st floor cracked. Han Fei opened his eyes. He leaned on the human faces on the pillar while laughing. He allowed the roots to pierce into his soul as he was dragged into the pillar. “I’m the sole survivor of the Bloodred Night. However, No. 2’s brain was dug away a long time ago. He had found another way for the kids to survive.”
Fate threads spread. The brain fragments hidden by the garden owner heard Mad Laughter’s voice. Their fates were bound together, and no one could sever that. The foundation of the skyscraper was shaken. The staircase shook. The rules designated by God were shattered. The shell of the building peeled away. The black rain ravaged the building like a black sea. God was angered, but No. 2 and Mad Laughter had the perfect timing.
Black chains filled with sinners’ names pierced through the dark clouds and sealed up the night. As the building started to weaken, many people saw a figure standing on the top floor. He was the cryptic world’s actual night. Endless Disciples were creating a big tragedy to overthrow Xin Lu in real life. God’s power was held back by the most powerful Night Police in the cryptic world. Now was when he was the weakest.
“What are you doing?!” Ji Zheng looked at Han Fei with him. His body shivered. His instinct told him that this person was not Han Fei!
The thing that answered Ji Zheng was laughter. Before Xu Qin could grab him, Mad Laughter’s body sunk into the building’s life pillar. He allowed the plants to drag him through the pillar.
“Has he sacrificed himself? Those things will bring him to God and sacrifice him to God!” Mr. Mo shouted nervously. Xu Qin rushed to the life pillar. She had a rough idea of the relationship between Han Fei and Mad Laughter. She remembered Han Fei saying that he wanted to take the pain back from Mad Laughter if possible.
Xu Qin tore through the human pillar without hesitation. Regardless of Han Fei’s choice, she wouldn’t let anyone take Han Fei away. Xu Qin, Big Sin, and Queen entered the life pillar. They all moved up!
Endless laughter echoed in the skyscraper. All the memory fragments sealed by God abandoned their bindings compelled by fate threads. They gathered at the life pillar where Mad Laughter was. They moved up until Mad Laughter saw the figurine hidden inside the pillar again.
The half flesh, half mud figurine had two blood flowers. One bloomed, the other wilted. Black chains bound the figurine. Many ghosts were heading this way. The tragedies inside the building were caused by this inconspicuous figurine.
“The skyscraper is an altar made from dead bodies. The garden owner’s figurine is hidden inside the altar’s life pillar. This pillar is God’s spine. To kill him, we have to break his spine.” Mad Laughter looked at the approaching figurine and laughed harder. The bloody shadows with him walked out of the memory that bound them. They were once helpless and tortured. But now they had become monsters!
Mad Laughter carried everything that was the thirty children so that they could become one. They would take back every drop of blood that was shed on that night!
Mad Laughter touched the garden owner’s figurine. All the memories of him and the thirty children started to burn. The altars in the theme park and Ziggurat started to crack. Mad Laughter stopped laughing, and Han Fei’s face appeared. Blood flower wilted. Mad Laughter stood before the figurine and closed God’s eyes.
“Usurpation!”
Xu Qin wanted to stop him, but she was too late. Mad Laughter carried his despair and the thirty children to enter the garden owner’s altar world!
God was still alive. To enter his memory world, one had to use No. 2’s Usurpation power. Xu Qin slashed at God’s neck but was stopped by Queen. While they fought, the skyscraper lowered in size. The horrible presence appeared. Various creations of God crawled into the life pillar!
Xu Qin was rejected by the figurine. She couldn’t approach it. The monsters were summoned by God to enter the figurine. The ghost cards fell to the ground. All the sinners and creations selected by God were absorbed into the figurine. Big Sin sneaked in while no one was paying it any attention.
“Other than those who have been killed and those who are away from the skyscraper, all the Ghost Card owners had been eaten by the figurine.” Ji Zheng crawled on the dead bodies and got to the top. He looked at the scene before him. He didn’t have any hope that Han Fei would survive. Ji Zheng’s hands that held the camera shook when he saw Xu Qin fight off the crowd. He was very afraid. In real life, he was a cowardly person. He didn’t want to be the hero. He reached this stage because he refused to bow his head to the dirty things.
“I’m a fallen Night Police. I should be able to fit in, right?”
The people Han Fei saved slowly approached the figurine. They didn’t join the fight because they were too weak.
Flesh on the figurine grew. One of his flowers wilted while the other bloomed brighter.
The river of memory carried Han Fei’s soul. After Mad Laughter and the thirty children closed God’s eyes, Han Fei held the last fate thread and followed them.
“Notification for Manager 0000! You’ve triggered Grade C Altar Mission—Usurpation!
“Usurpation (Grade C): Kill Gao Xing and become the new God!
“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve triggered Grade C Altar Mission—Twin Flower!
“Twin Flower (Grade C): Player level is too low for this mission. Please choose one of the following to complete!
“Mission 1: Kill Han Fei to be yourself.
“Mission 2: Protect the whole class of 30 children. The mission will fail even if one of them dies!”
