My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 984: Group Disappearance

After Zhang Mingli finished speaking, no players dared to move.

“Move.” The people from Happiness Neighborhood picked Han Fei away. With the players watching, they returned to the base. The doors closed, and Zhang Mingli lit another cigarette. “Do you want one? It might help with the pain.”

“Nah.” Han Fei took out Xu Qin’s roasted meat and started chomping. “I’ve been away for only one day. How come the other players look at me so differently?”

“After you and Huang Yin left, something did happen.” Zhang Mingli didn’t quite get it. He called Bai Xian over. When Bai Xian saw Han Fei, he immediately ran over. “Han Fei, didn’t you enter the nightmare with Huang Yin?”

“What’s wrong?”

“After he entered the nightmare yesterday, he hasn’t exited until now! Based on the tests done by the other guilds, once a person stayed in the nightmare for more than 24 hours, there is a 95 percent chance they’ve died inside the nightmare.” Bai Xian said nervously, “So there is a rumor that Huang Yin has been killed by the nightmare!”

“The eleventh layer is very different, so it’s normal to take longer time to clear it.” Han Fei believed in Huang Yin. Plus, he had No. 2’s paper plane, so he should be fine.

“Huang Yin’s disappearance is one thing, but there’s another thing that’s scarier.” Bai Xian switched on the chat lobby. Every room had topics related to Han Fei. “A player cleared the tenth layer. He received the system mission that said that once someone kills you, we can all leave the game. He has even included the video and screenshot. See!”

“Which guild is he from?”

“He’s not from any guild. He’s an anonymous player, but his news has been verified by other players.” Bai Xian also sensed the conspiracy. “First, they trapped Huang Yin so that Happiness Neighborhood lost the first player, and then they made you the target of the entire server. The person behind this is so evil!” The drowning people would grab onto anything even if they knew the thing wouldn’t sustain the weight of everyone. If they continued to be trapped in the game, most players would definitely come after Han Fei. The other guilds wouldn’t stop them either because Han Fei had the black box. They couldn’t wait to kill Han Fei too. If someone killed Han Fei, they could pretend to hunt Han Fei’s killer while going after the black box. The small black box represented Immortal Pharma’s original stocks. After a normal person got it, they could survive on it for generations. The other big companies could start a second Immortal Pharma with it. Human greed was amplified.

“I cleared the 11th layer and broke Dream’s rules. I saved Fu Sheng’s eldest son. It’s normal for him to respond like this.” Han Fei finished the meat and looked at the door. “Fu Sheng’s son chose me. Dream guessed that the black box was on me through that. If an Unmentionable needs to get to the real world without using the tunnel, they have to sacrifice another Unmentionable. Dream can’t pay that price. Therefore, Dream has to attack me in the cryptic world!”

Dream wouldn’t give Han Fei more chance to grow.

“The cryptic world is huge. Dream’s real body has to be deep inside. It’ll need time to get here.” Han Fei had to think positively. Even though he had not seen Dream, he could sense its horror from other people’s altars and nightmares. Mad Laughter and No. 2 would need to find other help to fight Dream.

“We have to destroy the altars and salvage all the nightmares to weaken Dream!” Han Fei took out Rest in Peace from his inventory. When Han Fei held the hilt, no one dared to move.

“Han Fei! The representatives from Absolute Truth, Merchant Union, and Deep Space Tech want to meet you. They’re already outside the base.” Jin Jun hurried into the base. The situation was chaotic.

“Let them in.” Han Fei sat in the middle of the lobby. “Also, don’t close the door after they’re in. Don’t scare them.”

“Okay!”

Han Fei had just left the nightmare, and the other guild’s representatives came immediately. They were nervous, but Han Fei was very calm. After these representatives entered the Happiness Neighborhood guild, they were scared, but when they saw how normal Han Fei was, they felt better. “We have no other intention for coming here. We just want to confirm a few pieces of info with you.” The leader of the Merchant Union didn’t want to offend anyone, so he pushed the person from Deep Space Tech forward to be the mouthpiece.

“Ask away. I’ll tell you anything I know.” Han Fei shrugged. He even had Bai Xian take away the defensive devices so that Merchant Union could broadcast this meeting. Han Fei dared to do this even though he was the entire server’s target. His confidence and calmness woke up some of the players.

“What is going on regarding the mission to hunt you?”

“Shouldn’t you ask Deep Space Tech about that?” Han Fei’s voice had a bit of anger. “Use your brain. Will the system normally give a mission to hunt down another player?”

“We will not give a mission like that. Perfect Life is a healing game…” Deep Space Tech’s representative looked awkward. He was there to prevent the situation from going out of control. “We suspect hackers have hacked into the supercomputer to change something. As for why… perhaps the criminals feel a threat from Han Fei and want to use this to eliminate him.”

“Do you hear that?” Han Fei scanned everyone. “After you clear the tenth layer, you might receive this mission too, but this mission will only show up in the grey mist. Huang Yin and I have already cleared the 11th layer! Soon, we can destroy the altars. The ghosts in the nightmare are afraid, so that’s why they are using this dirty trick to sow discord between us.” Humans were paranoid creatures.

“Relax. We need to be united.” The person from Merchant Union pretended to be nice. “Actually, we’re here for something else. I heard that president Huang has been in the nightmare for more than 24 hours already?’

“That’s normal. You should realize that the harder the nightmare, the longer it’ll take to clear.” Han Fei said evenly, “I had to leave because I was injured in the 11th layer, but Huang Yin is already in the 12th layer!”

“There’s a 12th layer?”

“And Huang Yin is in it?”

There were only 11 altars so many players thought there were only 11 layers to the nightmare. When they heard Han Fei, they didn’t know what to feel.

“Is there anything else?” Han Fei didn’t know what was going on with Huang Yin. When he felt better, he would go look for him.

“One last thing.” The representative from Merchant Union pulled the person from Absolute Truth over. They stood together. “Our best elite groups entered the 11th layer and didn’t come out. The 11th layer is like an endless hole. No matter who we sent in, they didn’t return. What is inside the 11th layer?”

“I’ll compile the notes and post them at the central pavilion.”

“Can’t you share them with us first?” The person from Absolute Truth was nervous. “Almost all the top players over level 40 are gone. What is inside that dream?”

“Now, you want to ask me?” Han Fei smiled. “When I was injured, and out of the nightmare, people couldn’t wait to kill me. Did you people forget that I didn’t need to come into the game?”

The person opened his mouth, but he didn’t have the face of continuing.

“I’ll organize the info as soon as possible. I hope you can trust me too.” Han Fei had done everything he could. He was under a lot of pressure too.

“Han Fei, we know that you entered the main hub for the players. We also didn’t want to trouble you, but the situation now is not that bad.” The person from Deep Space Tech frowned. He had Han Fei stop the broadcast before he continued, “Have you noticed that the number of players at the main hub has decreased? You might not know this since you spend most of your time in the nightmare, but based on our calculations, of 4000000 players, at least 200000 players have gone missing. This number is far beyond what we can sustain. Now, we don’t know if they are inside the nightmare or…”

Everyone knew that the nightmare was dangerous. A large number of the players still hadn’t explored it. Only one-third of the player dared to take the risk.

“The situation is still within our control, but yesterday night, all the top players who went into the 11th layer disappeared. We’re slowly losing control.” The representative from Deep Space Tech was worried. “Some players have gone to support the nightmare. The hostility towards you is a signal. As the top 100 players lost their power, anything can happen. They will turn the main hub into a slaughterhouse.”

The leaders were nervous. They had spent a lot of resources on these top players. Each player had talents above level B. They were irreplaceable.

“The 11th layer is very special. I’ll respond as soon as I can.” Han Fei didn’t enter the normal 11th layer, so he didn’t know what normal players would experience.

The guild representatives saw how hesitant Han Fei was. Perhaps he had some difficulties. After they discussed other things with Han Fei, they left in a hurry. The guild leaders were scared that they would be targeted too, so they didn’t dare to stay outside for too long.

“Dream hasn’t appeared yet. It has placed a lot of pressure on the players just using some tricks.” When all the outsiders left, Han Fei called his neighbors over. “What did you discover in the dream?”

“We can’t enter the nightmare after the 10th layer. We can only keep on attempting the same layer. We tried to force a way through, but we failed.” Lee Zai looked at Wu Chang with fear. “There are Unmentionable altars hidden in the 10th layer. Wu Chang tried several times but failed to get through, but it’s not like we came away with nothing.”

Lee Zai moved to the side. Weep placed his urn before Han Fei. He opened the urn, and it was filled with black and white pieces.

“We’ve been clearing the sub-10 layer nightmares. We collected these things 'cause we heard that they might be useful to you.”

“This is amazing!” Han Fei picked up the urn. “Come. Let’s go find No. 2. He should be able to do something from these.”

Each piece was someone’s life. They were also Dream’s power source.
