Han Fei didn’t expect the first good news he had after entering Immortal Skyscraper would be related to Shen Luo. Actually, Han Fei still didn’t understand why Dream would choose to combine with Shen Luo. It was Dream who introduced so many new ‘friends’ to Shen Luo.
Lab No. 1, which had been sealed up for decades, was reactivated. Han Fei and the worker came to the orphanage's backdoor. This path didn’t lead to an escape but to a deeper despair.
The backdoor led to different persona testing labs built by Immortal Pharma. To trigger the construction of personas, they hired people to act as the orphan’s family to give them false hope. Every test was a great torture for the orphans. They had no dignity as everything they did would be recorded.

“According to legends, if a child can pass 99 tests, he’ll be released.” The worker whispered.
“Adults will often use lies to fool children.” Han Fei glanced at the worker, “I don’t want to be a person like that. Therefore, I am always a man of my word. I’ll never forgive these bastards.”
The worker shivered and quickly changed the subject. “The control panel should retain the records from before. We can use the records to trace the location of the products.” He ran to the control panel and realized that the products had gone to the other floor. “They appear to be heading to Lab No. 4.” The worker sucked in a cold breath. “Lab No. 4 is the company’s most important lab. Perfect Life’s supercomputer was made there. I hear that there are many big shots’ bodies that are placed there. If something goes wrong on the underground 18th floor, then it’ll affect the entire Xin Lu.”
The worker finally understood the severity of the situation. The products that sneaked into Immortal Skyscraper wanted to disrupt the peace of Xin Lu! The worker tried to use the computer in Lab No. 1 to warn the others, but the message couldn’t be sent. He tried it a few times and got an emergency message from the system instead.
“x Month x Day. Thursday. 14:46. Perfect Life is running fine. The number of focused targets has increased to 100! All free researchers please head to Lab No. 3 now!”
Before the worker could react, Han Fei switched off the control panel. “The leader of the company is the one behind everything. You are all his sacrifice to God, so don’t think about relying on them. We have to rely on ourselves.” Han Fei walked past the different persona labs and stopped before an elevator. In the whole lab, only this elevator was working. The panel showed the number, -13.
“They’ve gone to that floor.”
The elevator door opened. Han Fei and the worker stood there and no one dared to enter the elevator. The breeze blew. A bloody figurine was placed inside the elevator. This appeared to be brought in by the three organizations. “Why would this be here?”
The figurine faced away from Han Fei and was wrapped in human skin. There was sacrifice placed around it. A row of wax candles surrounded it too. The intruders turned the elevator booth into an altar, but why?
Han Fei took out Rest in Peace and stared at the figurine. He remembered the mission he got. Once he destroyed the figurine, he could regain his power. Earlier, he was wondering why would Gao Xing’s figurines exist in the building in real life. Now he understood Gao Xing had long infiltrated the building.
“I think I’ve seen this thing in the CEO’s office.” The worker suddenly spoke. “There was an anomaly in Lab No. 1 back then. I was to report it to my superior, and I saw something similar placed in one of the offices.”
“Where is that office?”
“On the 31st floor.”
“Got it. Stand behind me, and don’t come any closer.” Han Fei waved for the worker to move back which the man did. Han Fei might sound like he was threatening the worker, but he really didn’t want to harm the innocent. Only those he deemed worthy would be killed by Han Fei. The paper doll hugged Han Fei as Han Fei sped himself up with Cursed Words.
The blinding light shone like a star. The human skin that wrapped the figurine fell away. The flesh of the figurine shattered. The still-developing skull fell to the ground, and its face stared at Han Fei. If not for Han Fei’s sturdy constitution, his soul would have been sucked away already.
“There’s nothing out of place…” The worker poked out his head to look. As strange as the situation was, it didn’t cause him any actual damage. “It looks like those intruders are rather superstitious. They pray to God before doing any damage.”
“They’re not praying to any God but the world’s scariest ghost.” The moment Han Fei finished that sentence, the figurine’s head cackled. The lights in Lab No. 1 went out and the only source of light was the candlelight in the elevator. The dancing flames twisted. The broken figurine pieces started to move and gather. This frightened the worker.
“Move away!” Han Fei shoved the worker away. The spot where the man stood earlier was now a red spiderweb. If Han Fei didn’t push him away, the worker would have been dragged into the elevator already.
“Something’s wrong with this figurine!” Han Fei had met Pure Hatreds in real life before. Due to the limitation of the cryptic world, they couldn’t harm living humans directly. They could only influence living humans through illusions. However, Unmentionables went above this rule. Perhaps they were worshiped by living humans, so they could harm living humans too!
“If only Big Sin is here, I can have it eat the figurine directly!”
Staring at the smiling figurine, Han Fei took out a cursed chain stuck with animal fur. He wanted to draw the figurine out of the elevator booth. “Once God is removed from its altar, its power will weaken.”
“Why would you bring such a thick chain to work?” The worker widened his eyes. Only the best researchers could enter the lab, but the worker had no idea what school Han Fei would specialize in.
The chain was dragged into the elevator. Han Fei whipped it on the figurine. This act of blasphemy caused a chain effect. A shadow appeared inside the elevator. It kept growing like it was trying to swallow the entire floor.
Han Fei didn’t stop what he was doing. He tied the chain around the figurine’s neck to try to drag it out of the elevator!
There was no one inside the elevator, but the chain was pulled tight like someone was yanking it from the other side.
Han Fei couldn’t pull the figurine out, instead, he was pulled into the booth.
“Is Unmentionable that scary in real life?” Han Fei quickly whispered to the paper doll.
The paper doll grabbed the chain. Han Fei used this chance to charge God again!
His physique was worse than God, but he had a knife that could cut through all sins. Humanity’s light glowed. The shadow behind the figurine was slashed through. God didn’t expect the assault from Han Fei. The paper doll cooperated perfectly with Han Fei. Once Han Fei got his hit, the doll released all its curses.
After the figurine was yanked out of the elevator, it couldn’t heal anymore. Its eyes dimmed, and it started to reek.
“Go to hell!”
Han Fei stabbed Rest in Peace into the figurine’s head.
Humanity’s beauty shattered God’s ambition. The lights came back on.
“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve destroyed one altar! Gao Xing has noticed your presence!”
As the figurine was destroyed, Han Fei felt the weight on him lighten. He could feel the greed and healing personas calling him.
“Gao Xing’s soul has noticed me. If I run into him now, I’ll die.” One figurine already created so much trouble for Han Fei. He definitely couldn’t handle an Unmentionable’s soul.
Han Fei dragged the worker into the elevator. After a quick hesitation, he didn’t choose to go to the 18th-floor basement but to the admin office on the 31st floor.
“I need to find the traitor to avoid the tragedy from happening in real life.”
