Chapter 886: Chapter 886: Plucking the Divine Spirit’s Eyes

“Pfft!”

Using the Greed Personality for an extended period nearly caused Han Fei’s body to collapse; he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The giant black eyeball stayed obediently by Han Fei’s side, like a child who had done something wrong.

“Your body parts are still very fresh; hurry up and think of a way to piece them together and stop being cute. I still prefer your rebellious side.” Han Fei patted his chest: “Don’t worry, this body is very sturdy; it’s okay to forge whatever you want.”

Han Fei didn’t know how Gao Cheng would react to this, but Big Evil was certainly happy again.

This attack on Hope New City was very rewarding for Han Fei.

Regaining Big Evil’s body was just one achievement; a large amount of precious and rare Ghost and Monster entities and the equipment of Deep Space Technology to study them were also very beneficial. The most important thing was conveying what he knew to that eighth-time Personality Awakened individual.

Such individuals are top-tier anywhere, and their words are always given utmost importance.

“It’s a pity I’m still too weak; otherwise, I wouldn’t need to go to such lengths; I could just ask Hope New City for it directly.”

“If I could swallow the Hatred in the Deep Sea Aquarium, my powers would be equivalent to those of the Deceit Building. Anyone wanting to stop me would have to seriously consider it.”

Han Fei swallowed a large number of Flowers of Soul in the Flower Sea of the Elderly Care Home. Those pitiful beings, after the Healing Personality’s purification, began adorning the Abyss. They bloomed on the cliffs of despair, bringing a different color to the Abyss.

The Flower of Soul and the Healing Personality are actually complementary; their filth is cleansed by the Healing Personality, allowing the better side of humanity to bloom in the Abyss, again becoming a pillar of support for the Healing Personality.

As the Healing Personality gradually stabilized, Han Fei grew more confident in trapping the Divine Spirit Eyes, and things seemed to develop in the direction he anticipated.

“First, let’s restore Big Evil, then head to the Deep Sea Aquarium, allowing Gao Cheng to take Gao Xing’s eyes once more!”

The three major bases withstand the Drastic Disaster by relying on “special weapons” capable of countering top-tier Hatred, which distinguishes them fundamentally from other Survivor Bases.

If Han Fei can control the Hatred beneath the Deep Sea Aquarium, he will be able to establish the fourth major human base.

After contemplating for a long while, Han Fei suddenly heard the sound of a house collapsing; he turned to look and saw Big Evil’s body shattered across the ground, crushing the house and polluting the floor.

“Can’t you heal yourself?” Han Fei smiled wryly as he tried using the Healing Starlight on Big Evil, though the effect wasn’t very promising.

After drinking a bottle of Ghost Blood and waiting for his body to recover slightly, Han Fei opened the Greed Abyss once more, wrapping Big Evil’s shattered remains in black fog.

“You carry an Unspeakable Curse; my power can’t help you, but Kuangxiao might.” Han Fei found his hidden car and returned to Ankang Pharmacy with the Dark Merchant.

“Fortunately, I managed to reap some new souls; they should allow Kuangxiao to act once more.”

Han Fei placed all the newly acquired Sacrificial Offerings on the altar, gently pressing the God Statue’s hand without any words, as its eyes seemed about to open, Blood Silk crawling onto Big Evil’s body, beginning to remove the residual curse from his wounds.

“It’s a strange feeling; the world actually has someone completely in sync with my sentiments. The mere existence of Twin Flowers must be a miracle.”

The Sacrificial Offerings were quickly depleted, and the God Statue began using its power; slowly, Big Evil’s heart started to beat regularly, the sound seemingly a call from the Deep World.

The dismembered body recombined, with the God Statue’s Blood Silk acting like threads used for stitching.

The Disaster’s aura spread underground, unable to be suppressed even by several Dark Merchants and Han Fei working together; the vicious and evil spirit roared skyward, its unconscious residual might peeling away layers of the ground.

The massive body stretched out to the surroundings, a blood-colored ominous star lighting up the night sky!

It’s not Hatred but even purer in its destructive desire; Big Evil’s appearance heralds an impending calamity!

“Ankang Pharmaceutical can’t stay any longer; quickly relocate the God Statue elsewhere. We’ll create a brand-new base around it, and I’ll explore a new path toward human-ghost coexistence there.”

The underground altar was lifted by the Dark Merchant, who left under the cover of night.

“We should head back now.”

Han Fei gestured to Big Evil, and the enormous monster, over five meters tall, obediently lay down in front of Han Fei, even pushing the car that Han Fei had driven aside, as if to say—ride on me, I’m faster than it.

“If you go out like this, you’ll easily scare others.” Han Fei helplessly looked at Big Evil, who was rolling on the ground and acting like a child, making the ground tremble: “You’re not afraid of me at all. I should have Xu Qin manage you more.”

Upon hearing Xu Qin’s name, Big Evil immediately calmed down. Han Fei didn’t know why Big Evil seemed to fear Xu Qin; beside her, it was like a small follower, perhaps because that’s the treatment of a female owner.

The Black Fog swallowed Big Evil, and Han Fei drove towards the Investigation Bureau.

Having learned from last time, he didn’t drive the car from Hope New City all the way to the Investigation Bureau; he got off far away.

As soon as he reached the gate of the Investigation Bureau, Han Fei’s Black Ring received several messages. The news of multiple attacks by Hatred spirits on Hope New City had already reached the Investigation Bureau, and the higher-ups were very concerned.

As the initiator, Han Fei felt a bit guilty after receiving the information. The people of Hope New City were unaware, but the investigation team that had fought alongside him should be able to notice something from the Black Fog.

“Team leader, where did you go after separating from us last night?”

Returning to the office of Group Thirteen, Han Fei had just pushed the door open when he saw all the team members standing inside, seemingly having waited for him all night.

“As the team leader, do I need to report my actions to you team members?” Han Fei closed the door, leisurely collapsed into a chair: “If you have something to say, say it; if not, the meeting is adjourned.”

“Last night, the Buffer Zone of Hope New City was attacked by Hatred spirits. Some of them hid in the Black Fog, evading detection by all monitoring devices in Hope New City, which scared both the public and the upper management.” Dong Quan looked at Han Fei: “I’ll be frank, in my memory, it seems only you can do such a thing. Moreover, according to eye witnesses, the sudden sea of mist resembles your Greed Black Fog.”

“Don’t talk nonsense! Why would I attack Hope New City without any reason? It’s a whole city! I’m just one person, no matter how misguided I am, I wouldn’t attempt to single-handedly challenge the largest Survivor Base after the disaster!” Han Fei spoke sincerely, making a lot of sense, but everyone felt he really might do such a thing: “Don’t look at me with those eyes. A criminal usually has a motive; what’s my motive? Taking such a big risk, what am I after?”

“Maybe you just don’t like them?” Yan Lan clashed her fists together, sparks flying: “Whether it was you or not, bring me along next time.”

“I’m really not like that.”

“It’s fine.” Anian looked at Han Fei with a smile: “When they asked this morning, we already covered for you, saying you were with us at the time, so it absolutely couldn’t have been you.”

“Did you come here early in the morning just to tell me this?” Han Fei picked up a form, examining the cafeteria’s menu.

“We came to ask you, what is today’s target building?” Dong Quan stood straight: “Every time we hunt a Hatred, the overall power of ghosts and monsters weakens a bit, bringing us closer to future hope.”

In just one day of contact, Dong Quan’s attitude toward Han Fei had changed significantly. Although Han Fei often behaved abnormally, he was sure Han Fei was genuinely striving to eradicate ghosts and monsters, without any self-interest or desire for power.

“Don’t rush, I’m planning something big next.”

Han Fei led the team members to meet with the highest officer of the investigation unit, Li Xue’s former boss, explaining his plan to devour the Divine Spirit Eyes, hoping to gain his support.

To convince him, Han Fei also brought the Top Student, detailing each step.

Hunting the top-level Hatred is extremely dangerous for a Survivor Base. If the hunt fails, the entire base faces brutal retaliation from the top-level Hatred, potentially resulting in the death of all living people.

Even if they succeed by chance, it would greatly weaken their strength. If the Personality Awakened individuals die in battle, the base’s defensive capabilities would be severely reduced, making it hard even to protect themselves.

Han Fei also noticed the leader’s hesitation and explained seriously: “This isn’t an ordinary hunt; it’s devouring. If we’re successful, we will gain the support of a top-level Hatred! Please consider, if the Investigation Bureau gains combat power equivalent to a top-level Hatred, what could the future hold?”

Hunting Hatred is a losing proposition for a Survivor Base, so besides the Investigation Bureau, few large bases attempt it. But Han Fei offered a tempting incentive: hunting Hatred not only wouldn’t be a loss, it could be highly profitable, which indeed intrigued many.

“I can swear by my life, or accept any curses you have, that once the devouring succeeds, I will help the Investigation Bureau complete three tasks unconditionally, even entering the deepest Forbidden Building in Zone A alone.” Han Fei spoke solemnly: “The keys to the great disaster lie hidden within the Forbidden Building; the gate where ghosts enter the Mortal World seems to be there. If I can obtain the Divine Spirit Eyes, I’m willing to enter the Forbidden Building to close that gate for the Investigation Bureau and all survivors!”

The Deceit Building is already extremely dangerous, with the Forbidden Building being even more perilous. No matter how many times one’s personality has awakened, none of those who enter to explore the Forbidden Building ever return alive, which is why it’s called the Forbidden Building.

“If you’re truly willing to enter the Forbidden Building, I can try persuading the other Managers of the Investigation Bureau.” The old leader hesitated for a moment, then his eyes firmed as he spoke to the Black Ring: “Immediately notify all combat group leaders within the Investigation Bureau that from now on, the bureau is in a state of highest alert!”
