The email required all the free researchers to head to Lab No. 2. The worst day started at this moment. Han Fei took out the night patrol map. Lab No. 2 was located underground. It was mainly used to tell the interaction between the supercomputer and human consciousness. It was built by Deep Space Tech and Immortal Pharma. “The altar is hidden on the 19th floor. My first goal is to destroy the altar. Along the way, I need to destroy Gao Xing’s altar to regain my strength and finally uncover the truth.”
Han Fei looked around the map. Immortal Skyscraper had 33 floors aboveground and 18 floors underground. “If the system is not wrong, the altar should be upstairs. But what if the map is wrong?”

Han Fei had much experience exploring altar worlds. Most altars would be deeply hidden. It wouldn’t be placed in the open.
The siren continued to ring. Before Han Fei could come to a decision, footsteps came from the corridor outside. Then, the door opened. Han Fei turned around to look. A serious-looking middle-aged man stood at the door. He wanted to scold Han Fei, but when he saw the Grade A+ Id Han Fei had, his attitude shifted immediately, “There’s a problem with the second stage of Immortal Project. Everyone is being summoned. I was worried that you didn’t receive the mail, so I came to inform you.”
“Are you sure it’s a human summoning us?” Han Fei stunned the man.
“What do you mean?”
“Is there a possibility that it’s something else who summoned us?” Han Fei stared at the man until the latter shivered.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about. I came to relay the messages from the superior. I hope you can go there now.” The man said and left. Han Fei cleaned up all the things in the room. He ate and left. The room he was in was in the second-floor basement. Due to the confidential contract he had signed with Immortal Pharma, he couldn’t leave the building before the project was a success.
The corridor was filled with cameras. There were locks every few meters. The underground of Immortal Skyscraper was like a giant prison. This place was worse than a horror movie. Immortal Pharma seemed to be afraid that the thing from underground would escape and set up all these layers.
“Do they need this kind of defense if it’s just a brain experiment?”
Han Fei had just turned the corner when the middle-aged man he had seen earlier appeared again. The man looked as serious as before, like he had just met Han Fei. “Hello. There’s an issue with the second stage of Project Immortal. The leaders require all the researchers to head to Lab No. 2.” The man had the same message and tone. He held a red document.
“You…” Han Fei looked at the man. He didn’t change, but something was off about him. Han Fei couldn’t pinpoint it, but it was weird. “The problem with the second stage is very serious. You need to hurry over.” The man urged Han Fei again. He took the document and headed to another lab resting room.
“Haven’t I met him earlier? If the man earlier was also real, then what was this?” Han Fei took out Rest in Peace and silently tailed the man. The man seemed to only repeat the same words. He knocked on every door and reminded all the researchers to gather.
“What is wrong…” Han Fei soon realized the problem. Han Fei ambushed the man and took him down in just a few seconds. “Don’t move!”
Han Fei had a special analytical method. He cut the man’s arm. The blinding light sliced the man’s skin, but the strange thing was the man’s wound didn’t bleed. After he knew that he had been exposed, a powerful force exploded from within the man. There was another face hidden inside his mouth. The new face was rapidly growing. There were not many researchers who could fight as Han Fei did. Normally, they wouldn’t bring a butcher’s knife to work either.
The middle-aged man didn’t expect Han Fei to be so strong. He had just raised his hands as his head fell to the ground. The waving hands reached toward his neck. The man’s neck had no blood or flesh. Instead, there was a pattern that looked like a tree ring. The fallen head revealed a scared expression and screamed. However, its voice didn’t appear to be able to be heard by human ears.
Han Fei ran towards the head. However, after he turned a corner, the head disappeared. Even Han Fei, with the hide and seek talent, couldn’t find it. “That was definitely not human. What is Immortal Pharma experimenting here?”
Han Fei retraced his step and returned to the spot where he fought the middle-aged man. The dead body on the ground had already disappeared, and only some broken pieces remained. Looking at the claw marks among the pieces, Han Fei frowned. “Was the body eaten by some giant beast?”
Immortal Skyscraper was the place closest to reality. The building repeated the day Gao Xing was most excited about. Everything here would happen in reality. In other words, the strange experiments were being carried out by Immortal Pharma in real life too. “It turns out real life is scarier than the cryptic world. Most people merely don’t know about it.” Han Fei picked up the red document. It recorded the info of many researchers, and it contained their pictures. However, some of the pictures looked strange. The siren became more intense. Han Fei didn’t take the elevator. Out of habit, he took the stairs. Han Fei broke the lock and realized there was no road behind the door but a thick metallic slab. “Is there no path here, or was the path sealed due to the emergency?” Han Fei had no choice but to head to the elevator lobby. There were already people waiting there. He silently memorized the faces of everyone. “Most of them are normal.” The elevator opened. The researchers rushed in. Only Han Fei stayed outside.
“Get in! Don’t waste time!” Someone waved at Han Fei impatiently. Someone even wanted to yank Han Fei into the elevator booth. “I forgot to take an important lab record.” Han Fei turned and ran. He only paused when he heard the door close. He turned around to look. The number on the elevator panel changed rapidly. In an instant, it went from negative two to negative eighteen.
“Lab No. 2 is at the second-floor basement. Why is it going to the eighteenth floor? Or is something summoning them there?” The other elevator opened, and a chilling breeze flowed out. Han Fei realized that he had no other path. The stairs were blocked, and he had to take the elevator to reach the other floors.
“Sacrificing Immortal has given me five extra lives. It should be fine for me to take the elevator.” Han Fei was still very careful. He used 20 minutes to check the entire second-floor basement. He returned to the elevator after checking there was no other possibility of leaving. Han Fei pressed the button to go to the third-floor basement and squatted at the corner of the booth. The door slowly closed. When the door opened, he was already in the third-floor basement. The siren was still ringing, but there was no one around.
“Technically speaking, there should be a lot of people around to discuss how to celebrate the second stage issue. It has only been 20 minutes since the siren. How come it feels like everyone has disappeared?” Han Fei hid Rest in Peace inside his sleeve. He followed the clean metallic road and came to the door of Lab No. 2.
Han Fei used his Grade A card to open the metallic door. Transparent treatment hubs appeared before him. Some of the experiments were connected to tubes. Some had their heads cut open. Their mouths opened and closed like fish, like they were screaming for help. Han Fei walked past the hubs. Han Fei noticed that they were all in poor condition. The devices were mainly there to mainly their basic life support.
“Have the children at the orphanage been through these before?”
Han Fei found the main control panel for the lab room. He had just sat down when he saw someone had written a sentence on the screen with a red pen, “Perfect Life might have an irreparable bug! I have a scary hypothesis! It might have betrayed us! No matter who you are, you have to send out my message! We might have been tricked by it!”
The writer didn’t have much time, and his writing was all over the place.
“The computer is right here. Why would he write with the pen?”
Han Fei pondered when another emergency message popped up on the screen.
“x Month x Day, Thursday, 9.46 am. Perfect Life is running like usual. The number of death has increased to 51! All free researchers, head to Lab No. 2 now!”
Seeing the message that said Perfect Life was running normally, Han Fei touched the main control screen. “The handwritten message and the email are different. Has the system tricked everyone? Or someone higher in the chain of command is purposely releasing false info?”
The email required all the free researchers to head to Lab No. 2. The worst day started at this moment. Han Fei took out the night patrol map. Lab No. 2 was located underground.
