Chapter 976: Special Nightmares

“Special nightmares?” Han Fei found a special reward from Zhang Mingli.

“Nightmares can be generally split into five kinds, the first level is the fear nightmare. These nightmares are just to scare the players. The more afraid you are, the stronger the monsters will be. These nightmares would normally repeat themselves. They will use your fear to kill you.” Zhang Mingli was a valedictorian. He was very clever. He knew the players’ situation from Han Fei and started analyzing. “The nightmares you met after entering the grey mist are these kinds of nightmares. Simple situations where you are chased by unknown murderers and ghosts. This nightmare is very simple. When you stop being afraid, you can clear it.

“The second type is memory nightmare. These nightmares are not made from illusion. They are made from certain people’s obsessions in real life. Their life memories will be condensed into a nightmare and this nightmare often represents the most memorable issue in their lives. If you want to clear this type of nightmare, you need to find the nightmare owner’s obsession and help them resolve it.

“The third kind is very strange. I wonder if you’ve met it already or not. It is made from the player’s memory. When you clear the nightmares, Dream is also using the opportunity to grab your memory. Then, it will use your weaknesses to create a nightmare tailored to you. When you can’t differentiate between memory and dream, you’ll lose yourself in the dream and become a new nightmare.”

Only Han Fei had experienced this kind of nightmare. There were so many players, but 99 percent of them didn’t have the qualification for Dream to create a specific nightmare for them.

“The fourth kind is the rule nightmare. This nightmare is more like a cage. It traps things Dream wants. They were personally created by Dream a long time ago. I was in a rule nightmare.” Zhang Mingli explained, “Dream wanted to obtain pure love. It kept trying to mimic human emotions until its nightmares could perfectly simulate them.

“These nightmares look very normal and don’t feel too scary, but once you violate the rules, you’ll be punished heavily. Dream is not there physically. It can only borrow the power lingering in the altar. That is the rules designed by Unmentionable.”

Zhang Mingli brought Han Fei another piece of important news. Dream could only use the power of Unmentionable to kill someone if they were inside a rule nightmare.

“The fifth kind is the special nightmare I mentioned. I suspect these nightmares are made from Dream’s personal experience. I know such nightmares do exist in the altar, but I’ve never seen any of them. They are well hidden.” Zhang Mingli asked for paper and a pen from Han Fei. He drew a complicated picture. “Dream became stronger by collecting different nightmares. Its power has no end. But the foundation is those special nightmares. All the other nightmares surround these few special nightmares. I can’t hypothesize their locations, but once we have enough clues, perhaps we can find the rules in the nightmare.”

Teacher Zhang was actually very clever. He didn’t look like it, but from the way he managed to draw out a map of the nightmare, he had a very high IQ.

“Your drawing is very important.” Han Fei put the drawings into his inventory. “If I have max intelligence, I could derive some from these, but I’ve always maxed stamina.”

“I thought you’d focus on charm.” Teacher Zhang was shocked.

“Teacher Zhang sure is kind.” Han Fei chuckled and continued, “Since we need a brain, then I’ll bring this drawing out to consult an expert.” Han Fei had a plan. He planned to get No. 2 into Perfect Life too. No. 2 was the cleverest person Han Fei had ever met. He even had power related to fate. However, if Han Fei drew No. 2 into the game, Han Fei might be attacked by Dream in real life.

After the discussion, Han Fei used the greed persona and dragged out the two players who died in Zhang Mingli’s nightmare. The two players’ consciousness was covered in butterfly tattoos. They were no longer humans in a way. They were transformed by Dream into something between humans and ghosts. Han Fei placed his hands on the players’ heads and narrowed his eyes. “I didn’t expect to catch a big fish.”

The players who were arranged to attack Han Fei this time were controlled when they were inside the game. They were not from the three organizations. They were Dream’s disciples a long time ago. These people constructed the altars in the main hub. Their souls were colorful, but their hearts were rotten and smelly.

Han Fei managed to get some info from these two players. Dream had a lot of disciples. They even had secret signals. The bastards mixed into the buildings in the mist at night. Since they had the butterfly tattoo, the mist wouldn’t block their sight. They could see clearly even in the mist. They created many plans in the mist. However, most of them were just lackeys. There were 11 decision-makers, corresponding to the 11 altars. To evade the players’ search, some makers hid in the buildings and didn’t leave the mist. Some of them had even infiltrated into the bigger guilds. Due to Huang Yin and Han Fei’s intervention, most of them were bidding their time. The two players Han Fei caught answered the same player—Fu Yun.

As Gao Xing’s former confidant and Little Ghost, Fu Yun now focused his energy on completing Dream’s core plan.

“The 11 makers have special identities. Some of them are humans while others are ghosts from the abyss.” Han Fei felt fear from the two souls. Compared to Fu Yun, the other makers were non-human. After that, Han Fei shoved the two players back into the abyss. “It looks like I need to leave the game for a game. These 11 people are connected to Dream. The police have been investigating these supercriminals. Perhaps I can get clues from them.”

“Wait a minute. I’ll give you the report from the researchers.” Huang Yin sent an invite to the Deep Space Tech workers. Han Fei was the only bridge between the cryptic world and the real world. They needed to rely on Han Fei. After some time, Deep Space Tech sent over their investigation result. All the info was fitted into a virtual white box.

“This is Deep Space Tech’s secret key. Only people with rights can open it. Once you leave the game, the info inside will automatically log into the gaming hub. You only need to forward it.”

Han Fei grabbed the key and exited the base. He wandered around the grave and haunted houses. After five hours, he finally triggered the mission. After that, Han Fei returned to the guild base and left the game.

Compared to the last time, the grey cocoon around the city became more realistic.

“It grows so fast!” Han Fei removed the gaming helmet. Han Fei sent the info in the secret key to the Xin Lu police. After that, Han Fei stopped interrupting. He called Assistant Tao because he wanted to see Du Jing.

No. 2 only had one brain left. To send No. 2 into the game, Han Fei needed help from the two giants. Several minutes later, Assistant Tao parked the car at Han Fei’s place. He jogged to invite Han Fei out. They went to Xin Lu’s immortal research center together.

This place was Xin Lu’s biggest bio-research center. Du Jing was the owner. Before Fu Tian got his fortune, Du Jing’s family was already a medical force in Xin Lu. It was with Du Jing’s family’s support that Immortal Pharma came to be.

“She’s waiting for you at the lab.”

With the guidance of the robot, Han Fei pushed open the lab door. Du Jing stood beside a fake human. She looked younger than before. “Take a seat.”

“Last time, I told you about Fu Sheng. Do you still remember?” Han Fei didn’t sit. He said directly. “Fu Sheng has a sister from a different mother called Fu Yi. Fu Sheng has three children. Do you have any impression of this?”

Zhang Mingli said he heard singing in the nightmare so Han Fei suspected the Unmentionable trapped in the altar had to do with Fu Sheng’s children.

“Those are new to me.” Du Jing also wanted to know Fu Sheng but she really forgot everything about this man. “Ever since I chatted with you, I remembered many things. Perhaps there’s one place that still retains his memories.”

“Where?”

“Come with me.” Du Jing waved for Assistant Tao to leave. She led Han Fei to the internal lab. “My family used to be Xin Lu’s economic head. I was the one who sponsored Fu Sheng’s first few life experiments.”

“Is that what you remembered?” Han Fei remembered everything that had happened in the altar world. In the past when he didn’t exist, Fu Sheng sustained all the despair. Fu Sheng didn’t turn evil and stood on humanity’s side even after death. freewēbnoveℓ.com

“Is that not true?” Du Jing said. Her eyes were glazed as if she didn’t care about the truth anymore. “I’m bringing you to the place where Fu Tian first started the first life experiment. I remember there was someone who trapped himself inside the lab. He would be in there for weeks at a time. I thought it was Fu Tian at first but now I believed it was actually Fu Sheng.”

The number on the panel changed. Du Jing led Han Fei to the deepest lab. This was a forgotten corner. Even Du Jing hadn’t been here in a long time.

“No. 0000? Lab 0?” Han Fei thought about his number in the game.

“This is Fu Tian’s first lab. Then, with Immortal Pharma’s advancement, this lab was abandoned. Other than Fu Tian and me, no one knows about this place.” Du Jing stopped at the door and turned to Han Fei. “I have already handed the key that can open this lab to you.”

“The key is on me?!” Han Fei took out the black band Du Jing gave him before. When he reached his hand with the band into the hole in the door, the abandoned lab was reactivated. The dusty metallic door slowly opened. Han Fei looked into the lab. There were many gaming helmets on the black shelves. Most of them were ruined. They looked like they were pierced by blades. Each helmet had a number, starting with 1.

“All the helmets are here, arranged by number. I’ve been here before but I don’t know why he made so many healing helmets.” Du Jing took down a random helmet. These heavy devices were not for gaming but to heal ruined souls.

“But what if there’s a helmet 0?” Han Fei walked to the center of the lab. There was a large surgical table there. The surface should be metallic but due to blood, the surface was a horrifying brown.

“The helmet I got was made here?”

Han Fei tried to activate the stuff beside the surgical table. After so many years, it could still work.

“This lab’s energy system is connected to the hidden power supply. Even if the main lab is blown up, this place will still run normally.” Du Jing looked at Han Fei quietly. She wanted to get an answer from him.
