596 Mad Laughter
After Han Fei gained the last despair, he seemed to form a special connection with the hospital. The Perfection Plastic Surgery Hospital became a giant spider’s lair in his eyes. Endless threads formed by despair bound around him. The spider web of fate stuck to his soul. No matter how far he ran, he couldn’t escape the hospital.
“Fate has been decided. No one can escape it.” Fu Yi fed on Fu Sheng’s despair. He spread within Han Fei. Fu Yi only existed in mind before, but now he was everywhere within Han Fei. Every single blood echoed with his disgusting voice. The internal change affected his exterior. Everyone could see Han Fei’s skin bloating.
“Go back to the first floor…” Han Fei turned to Zhang Xi. He couldn’t control his body usually anymore. He needed to use all his determination to combat Fu Yi and sustain Fu Sheng’s despair. Zhang Xi saw Han Fei’s pain. She used her power to control Han Fei.
The elevator at Building Seven was broken. The black flame burned the negative emotions. The endless wails morphed into a woman’s laughter. Everyone in Building Seven could hear her curse. The whole hospital was submerged into chaos, but for Han Fei, this was only the beginning. The monsters from the underground also tried to enter Building Seven. However, they were held back by the black flame for now.
The group returned to the emergency room. Han Fei had to walk the rest of the path alone. “Are you sure you can do this?” Zhang Xi and Doctor Yan held Han Fei’s shoulders. The two doctors had seen many patients. They both saw death on Han Fei, so they were worried. “Use your power to send me on this last journey. If I can open the altar, there’s still a chance.” Perhaps it was Fu Yee’s blessing, and he was lucky to run into Zhang Xi. He had Zhang Xi control his body to move into the emergency room.
As Han Fei entered the corridor that separated life and death, prayers and divine patterns appeared under his feet. The song of mercy rang. Unknown names formed on the walls and floor. They formed the path moving forward. The hospital looked more like the inside of an altar. There was the sound of rattling chains. There was something inside the emergency room waiting for Han Fei.
“I’m sorry, this is the most I can do.” Zhang Xi reached her limit too. She looked older. Crows’ feet appeared around her eyes. Her lips were black with blood. She sent Han Fei to the emergency room door, but that was where her connection to Han Fei severed. Even though they could still see each other, there was a giant gulf between them.
Han Fei used 10 seconds before he steadied himself. This was his second time here. He finally understood the weight of Fu Sheng’s pain.
“Die!”
“Why are you such a busybody? Everything has been decided, and you are only giving him false hope!”
“You never really love him! I can see your selfish soul! You are only using him!”
“Stop resisting and give me back my body!”
Fu Yi had already spread to the rest of the body. The man became stronger and Han Fei weaker. He was losing control of his body. Every organ yelled in pain. He felt like he was about to explode. Something bulged under his skin. Han Fei raised his hands shakingly. He grabbed the emergency room door, gritted his teeth, and tried to push it open.
At the same time, all of Fu Sheng’s despair formed a picture in Han Fei’s mind. The young Fu Sheng carried a school bag with his mother’s picture and alone stood at the emergency room door. The pale light above him lit up his face. He waited anxiously until the doctor’s shouts and nervous footsteps came from inside the emergency room. He didn’t understand anything, but his heart ached, and he pushed forward!
Han Fei also pushed with all his might. The despair in his mind opened the door with Han Fei. The young Fu Sheng saw his dead mother lying in bed. She looked like she was asleep.
Han Fei, as the father, entered the emergency room. He saw the altar in the middle of the emergency room. All the divine patterns and shackles formed the center. There was a faceless statue at the spot where all the despair and memory converged.
“It is mine!” Fu Yi exploded his full power. He almost consumed Han Fei’s rationality. The pain slammed into Han Fei’s soul. The blood capillaries under his skin burst. His body was like a broken toy. His blood and bone were twisting. Han Fei was very close to the faceless figurine, but he couldn’t close the distance.
Han Fei stood at the door, and Fu Sheng, in the despairing image, also stood at the door. He looked at his thin mother. These few short steps separated life and death. Fu Sheng and Han Fei tried to move forward, but both only took one step before kneeling. Their bodies were drained of energy. The pain in their chest expanded. The young Fu Sheng didn’t stand up again as endless despair crushed him. He looked numbly at the mother he couldn’t wake.
Han Fei was defeated by despair and Fu Yi. He collapsed before the statue. However, different from Fu Sheng, Han Fei didn’t give up. He pressed on the ground to push himself up. No matter the pain, he didn’t want to lose to Fu Yi and return the body to that animal. ‘Is it time to say goodbye?’ Han Fei honestly wasn’t ready yet. He wanted to stay longer in this world, to see Fu Sheng and Fu Tian grow up, and to bring Fu Yee happiness. He was an orphan, and he didn’t wish these children the same fate!
The bloody phone fell to the ground. Han Fei knew what he had to do. In this world, we assumed we had plenty of time to say goodbye. However, in reality, goodbyes often come without warning. You could turn around, and the person would be gone.
The weakened fingers found the number for home and pressed the call button. The call was answered instantly. His wife’s voice came. “When are you coming home? I’ve prepared dinner. I can heat them for you.”
Black blood oozed out of Han Fei’s lips and nose. He couldn’t speak. His last words were, “Be careful of Du Zhu. Don’t let Fu Sheng come close to the plastic surgery hospital.” There was no final goodbye. Han Fei gave his last order and hung up. He knew he had reached his limit, and he was ready to give up everything. Han Fei had one last thing to do. He stirred his memory and pieced back all the red memories. The maddening laughter came from his mind as his mind was dyed red.
“I told you I’d kill you even if I have to kill myself.” Han Fei told Fu Yi and revealed a cruel smile. “From the moment I became you, you had no right to return to this body!” The shackles of memory were shattered. The blood waves rolled in the mind, and the sea was rising!
Without the hindrance from his Kind and Evil Soul, the blood-red orphanage in Han Fei’s mind slowly surfaced. Han Fei’s eyes were dominated by murder. He unlocked the limitation on his mind. He stopped resisting Fu Sheng’s despair but started to pull them into his mind.
The despair of the hospital flowed into the red orphanage. The bell chimed inside the broken building. The blood frozen by time started to melt. The figure inside the orphanage laughed maddeningly. He was escaping the orphanage. Han Fei’s lips curled to match the smile of the person inside the orphanage. Human emotions were silenced, and only madness remained.
Han Fei adopted Fu Yi’s identity in this memory world. The body belonged to Fu Yi.
Han Fei reached into his pocket to pull out the paper doll. He studied its beautiful face and the curses on it. He shoved the doll into his mouth. He chewed and swallowed it!
He sent the blood and curse of the doll into his ill body. Fu Yi was still trying to control the body. Han Fei couldn’t care about him anymore. He controlled the doll pieces and used the cursed item to make himself stand up. The faceless figurine was before him. When Fu Yi saw Han Fei stand up, he tried to spread faster.
The Mad Laughter didn’t move towards the figurine. He seemed to know the blood-red doll couldn’t support him through the journey. Instead, the Laughter took a step back and touched Big Sin on the wall. The red eyes glowed with surprise. Han Fei’s altar talent was activated. Soul Mist infused into the emergency room wall as his Life Points depleted. The mist weakened the prayers. The Laughter grabbed onto something!
The ghost tattoo on Han Fei’s back glowed. The large cat cowered deep inside the tattoo. It growled weakly in fear. The Laughter’s target wasn’t Nine Lives. He held onto Big Sin and tried to shove Big Sin into the ghost tattoo!
The moment Big Sin touched the ghost tattoo, the skin on Han Fei’s back exploded. It shocked even Fu Yi. Then something even more horrifying happened. The ghost tattoo appeared to be injected with the world’s most dangerous venom. It turned a pure black color and then carved into Han Fei’s flesh. The divine patterns and chains inside the emergency room started to shake. Big Sin’s giant body was slowly being dragged into Han Fei’s ghost tattoo!
Han Fei’s proximity to death caused Big Sin to go into a state of ecstasy. It struggled to move closer to Han Fei. Half of Big Sin’s body was shoved by force into the ghost tattoo as the shackles snapped!
Han Fei was a walking blood fountain. The Laughter didn’t plan to leave Fu Yi a complete body. Instead, he planned to resculpture it. Big Sin approached Han Fei happily, but it sensed something when he was close to Han Fei. The creature who was not afraid of anything started to turn and run!
It was certain that the man before it was not his master!
Big Sin wanted to run, but it was already too late. It was dragged into the ghost tattoo by the Mad Laughter.
The ghost tattoo Ying Yue painted for Han Fei could only support a Medium Lingering Spirit. Big Sin was already more powerful than that. Big Sin would be injured if this continued, and Han Fei might die.
Soul Poison flowed through Han Fei’s body. The original ghost tattoo collapsed, and the Soul Poison painted a new black ghost tattoo for Han Fei. This new tattoo which was a mixture of Han Fei’s blood and Big Sin’s Soul Poison, was terrifying.
Fu Yi was stunned. He just wanted to take back his body, but the madman wished to destroy the body. The body was now filled with cursed paper doll pieces, and the blood was flowing with Soul Poison!
Fu Yi stopped fighting for the body. What could he do about the paper doll pieces and the Soul Poison even if he took over the body?
The Mad Laughter’s goal was simple. Since I couldn’t retain control of the body, then I would destroy it.
The dying flesh was infected by Soul Poison. Han Fei’s soul twisted from pain, but he was still laughing. The Laughter used three minutes to shove Big Sin fully into the ghost tattoo.
Han Fei’s body had lost its human shape. The only clear thing was the glowing black ghost tattoo. Big Sin was extremely loyal to Han Fei. It loved the dying Han Fei, but it didn’t wish for Han Fei to really die. After it was inside the tattoo, it controlled itself so that it wouldn’t accidentally kill its master.
With the cooperation between Big Sin and the Laughter, the new black ghost tattoo stabilized.
No one could expect that Han Fei would still have a heartbeat after all that. This was a miracle.
