Chapter 769: Han Fei and Mad Laughter's Choice

Im willing to be you, but are you willing to tell me the truth? Han Fei didnt lie. He came to this answer after serious consideration. It was unfair for one person to sustain all the pain. The healing persona and black box belonged to Mad Laughter. Ive said it a long time ago. Youll heal them, and Ill heal you. That is my choice.

The bell stopped striking inside the Red Orphanage. The redness seemed to fade a little. Raindrops fell on the rails. Time seemed to flow back to the rainy night many years ago. The sound of children came from the orphanage. Their young voices carried a maturity that didnt match their age.

Will people stop feeling pain and sadness after they die?

They say you can go to your father and mothers world after you die. But unlike you, I dont know my parents.

Han Fei, can I ask you for a favor?

Sure.

Kill me.

The doll in the room was torn apart. The red cotton flew everywhere.

I dont want to be a monster. Will you play with me like you once did?

Han Fei, why are you ignoring me? Im now a good kid in the eyes of the teacher. Ive eaten all my pills and completed all their requests. Why arent you happy for me?

Han Fei, I dont understand why everyone is staying away from me. Can you open the door? Youre my only friend now.

Can I ask you for one last thing? Tie the rope between my head and my body tightly The handmade bust on the corridor rolled to the ground. Between his head and body was a red rope that looked like a blood vessel.

The doctor said you can eat the pain away from my body. You can ease my nerves, but youre just a useless child. Stand still! Im the oldest child here. If you dare to tell anyone about the beating, youre dead!

Cry! Why arent you crying? Why are you laughing when youre bleeding?

Youre almost dead from being beaten by me. Why arent you fighting back? Use that sharpened chopstick to kill me!

Han Fei, I hope you can kill me. Dont feel any guilt. This is the last thing I can do for you. Im a horrible big brother, arent I? The only wooden horse in the yard was pushed over. The knife wounds appeared on the horse's belly. The person who cut the horse was on the verge of collapsing.

I hear that youre the baddest kid here. You are related to their deaths. Why arent you saying anything? Dont think about hiding anything from me. Im different from the rest of you. Im a separate category in the IQ test.

What are you worried about anyway? The tests here are nothing for me. Just rest well. Ill lead everyone out of here.

The logic of this world is very simple. The 1 percent genius will lead the 99 percent common people Dont interrupt me. Im not tired. I was careless and accidentally cut my face.

Dont give up! Keep going! We can all graduate successfully! Trust me. Im No. 2. Im a genius!

They think Im dangerous so they gave me a fake eye. Doesnt this prove that theyre afraid of me? They are!

Why are you crying? Dont worry. As long as I have my brain, I will lead you out of here!

Han Fei? Havent we met this morning? My brain is very blurry recently.

Han Fei? When was the last time we met? Was it earlier?

Who are you? Have I seen you before?

Stranger, can you help me? Push my brain inside this jar out the window.

Thank you

The flower pot fell from the sill and the sticky soil scattered everywhere.

The childrens voices echoed everywhere. The memories were so clear. Han Fei was already an adult, but their voices still reverberated inside the orphanage. They were trapped here, and so was Han Fei. 29 different voices appeared at different spots of the orphanage. The blood flowers bloomed. Mad Laughter stopped in the middle of the classroom like everything had nothing to do with him, but he didnt laugh once. Just as the rain was about to stop, the last childs voice rang out. Goodbye, Han Fei. The doctor is coming to fetch me. My final hope is for you to be happy daily. Dont lose your smile.

As the voice faded away, Mad Laughter started to self-mutilate. The bell in the orphanage started to chime again. Han Feis mind churned. He wanted to understand Mad Laughters past and he reached out his hand. However, Mad Laughter couldnt walk out of the shadow. His consciousness was bound by the 30 shackles. Once he touched the past, he would lose his mind. When Mad Laughter was acting crazy, Han Feis consciousness was forced out too. In the end, he could only hear the final wishes of the 30 children. What have they experienced that theyd ask Mad Laughter to kill them?

The young voices surrounded Han Fei. They were not just numbers. They were each a unique soul.

The first child to ask for death was a kid that followed the orphanages rule. Then, it was the big brother who wanted to ease Mad Laughters pain. Finally, it was No. 2 who only had his brain left And the kid who wanted Mad Laughter to be happy every day.

Something inside his brain moved. One part of the Red Orphanages outer wall disappeared. Mad Laughters laughter joined with the voices of the 30 children. Han Fei stopped trying to understand it, but he placed himself into the childrens voices. The dance in the dark changed. Dead souls appeared in the mirrors. They squeezed around the stage to join the ritual. Han Fei on stage was like a priest of yore. The blind elders dance was his bridge to commune with Mad Laughter. Han Fei put down his guard and submerged himself in the orphanage memories. He actively reached out to Mad Laughter. The red orphanage slowly merged back into Han Feis brain.

The dance ended. The souls in the room sensed something scary and they started to disperse. All the mirrors dimmed. Only the mirror facing the stage reflected Han Fei. Han Fei on stage and Han Fei in the mirror regarded each other. They were the same person, but they felt so different.

Without any communication, small handprints appeared on the mirror. The children in orphanage clothes appeared behind Mad Laughter one by one. They were killed by Mad Laughter but they stood behind him. They would bind Mad Laughter for life. They were Mad Laughters everything.

This mirror can see all the people youve killed. He and the other kids are all inside the mirror. I think you know what he means, right? The elders hollow eyes appeared behind Han Fei. Youve made your choice and he has made his. Han Fei didnt speak. He reached out to touch the mirror but the mirror couldnt handle it. The cracks soon appeared.

Not good! The blind elder quickly shoved Han Fei to the side. He was already very fast, but the cracks had already spread.

Han Fei, who fell to the ground also, woke up. He looked at his stat. Thankfully, the elder was not a bad person, or with his 1 Life Points, he would be dead already.

It almost broke! Do you know how dangerous that was? The blind elder touched the cracks in the mirror. Every mirror here is the eye of God. If you shatter the mirror, it means poking Gods eye!

Your God is an Unmentionable, right? Han Fei pointed at the rain clouds outside the window. My friend said the cloud in this zone is a ghost

Shush! The blind elder caressed the mirror with heartache. The gardener is probably in trouble since she hasnt returned for so long. We cant have any other problem here. You better dont come back in the next few days.

Why?

Are you seriously asking me that? The elder huffed. If youre really that free, help me deliver a letter. The elder probably wanted to distract Han Fei. He took out a wrinkled envelope from his pocket. This zone is split into the inner zone and outer zone. Were in the outer zone. Take this envelope and follow the street. After a few blocks and when you can see the skyscraper, youve reached the inner zone.

Inner zone? Outer zone?

The inner zone is much more dangerous than this place, but with the clubhouses black umbrella, no one would disturb you. The elder sounded uncertain. When youre there, you need to find a bungalow filled with flowers. The gardener should be there.

Are there no other hints?

The bungalow is very luxury and has a large swimming pool. You wont miss it. The elder handed the wrinkled envelope to Han Fei. The system notification came. Notification for Player 0000! Youve triggered Grade E Normal Mission, Letter Delivery.

Letter Delivery: This is a job for the afterlife postman, but everyone believes you can do this. Please deliver the letter as soon as possible without the company of any lingering spirit and pure hatred!

Warning! The quicker you deliver the letter, the greater the reward! If you take more than 3 hours to deliver the letter, the reward will be halved; if you take more than four hours, there will be no reward; if you take more than five hours, the friendliness level of the other members at the clubhouse will lower, and you might get a random punishment!

Han Fei needed to complete a mission but he didnt want to enter the danger zone. Sir, are you sure I can do this? Han Feis Life Point was still being absorbed by the altar. Even if he continued to feast on Xu Qins meat, he couldnt raise his Life Points to a safe level.

Who told you to break this mirror? As I said, the mirrors are Gods eyes. You have punched its eye. How can it not be mad? The elder urged Han Fei to leave. Go now. You have to hand this letter to the gardener. Dont trust anyone else.

Okay. You have to wait for me to come back. Han Fei looked at the shattered mirror and then the blind elder.

Youre only delivering a letter. Dont be so dramatic. The elder pulled a black cloth over the mirror and pulled Han Fei out of the dance studio. To ensure that Han Fei left, he personally led Han Fei to the door. After Han Fei led, the elder locked the clubhouse.

Is he worried about me so he chose to face the danger on his own? The elder is a kind person. Han Fei said.

Han Fei went to find Xu Qin. With her help, he shoved Big Sin into his ghost tattoo.

The system told me to go alone without the accompaniment of any ghost. But Big Sin is not a ghost. Han Fei touched Big Sins head. It refused to enter the ghost tattoo. Its my cute pet.
