Chapter 955: Peace Street
Chapter 955: Peace Street
Happiness Neighborhood only sent three people, but that was enough to shock everyone in the game. No one dared to interrupt Han Fei anymore. The large pavilion was silent.
"Since you have no questions, then I'll continue," Han Fei opened the documents he had and shared all the info he had on the nightmare to all the players through the comms device, "This is all the guides Happiness Neighborhood had found out based on the nightmares. We're now sharing it with all the players! Our current progress is on the fifth layer. The solution and experiences we've seen are all here. Happiness Neighborhood will help more players to clear the nightmare!"
Once Han Fei said that, the players gathered at the pavilion were excited. The first guild shared the info they risked their lives for so easily with everyone. They really wanted to save everyone!
Seeing this, the expressions of the representatives from Absolute Truth and Merchant Union darkened. They had paid a hefty price to get to the fifth layer. From their perspective, power was the premise for the exchange of equal value. The normal players had no right to participate in this battle. Their best wish was to share the info among the top 10 guilds. If the other guilds wanted a piece of the info, they had to pay an equivalent price. Unfortunately, Han Fei had shattered the rules.
"I know what some of you are thinking." Han Fei lowered his voice. "Because you have higher funds and level, you delineate the players among yourselves. However, there is no need because, in my eyes, all the players are the same." Han Fei was already very kind. The difference between him and the normal players was not something that could be bridged by levels.
"This is just the beginning. In the future, Happiness Neighborhood will write the guides to every layer of the nightmare on the signboards at the central pavilion." Han Fei said with determination, "Our enemy is filled with malice and is far more cunning than we can imagine. The invitation in the fifth layer is to separate the players. Happiness Neighborhood has no power to make the choice for others, but I hope that everyone can trust us this once. Happiness Neighborhood will lead the players to explore deep into the nightmare. At least we die, please do not side with dream and abandon humanity's hope."
The city was sealed, and they couldn't get offline. Han Fei led Happiness Neighborhood to provide support. They cleared the fifth layer quickly and shared the info for free. Compared to the other guilds, Han Fei's actions spoke louder than words.
"We don't want to fight among ourselves when we have an enemy like the nightmare." The leader of the Merchant Guild immediately stood up to clap for Han Fei. At the same time, he added, "From now on, the Merchant Guild will also share our guides at the pavilion! We'll work together to destroy the altars to return to real life!"
Many other representatives followed suit. This inspired the players. When faced with death, everyone focused their energy on fighting for a better future. At least at that moment, no one wanted to surrender to Dream.
"Sir, we've invested too much. There's no need for us to follow Happiness Neighborhood. Since they're willing, we should let them be the sacrifice." One of the members of the Merchant Union grumbled softly."4000000 players are trapped in the game. This is a great chance. There is no better advertisement than this. Therefore, we have to help the players so that the image of the Merchant Union will enter people's hearts." The leader of the Merchant Union thought clearly, "We not only have to work with them, but we also need to help the players. All the investments will be repaid in the future."
Han Fei had no idea how many of these players were already Dream's puppets. He also had no idea how many of them were from the three criminal organizations. He explained his goal. He was going to keep on exploring to bring hope to the majority of the players. This meeting continued until 3 pm. The top 100 guilds made a joint statement that they would do everything to help the trapped players. They rented a building next to the central pavilion. This place was designated as the nightmare danger assessment center. Any player could share their discovery here. They would be given rewards in return for their contribution.
"Impressive!" Bai Xian gave Han Fei a thumb's up after he got down the stage. "In the past, I thought you'd be a great actor, but now I believe you can be a great mayor too."
"Stop joking." Things went more smoothly than Han Fei predicted. It was mainly because the trapped players were looking for hope, and Han Fei appeared at the right time. "Next, we need to put our focus on clearing the nightmares. We can't stop. Only by keeping on going forward can we turn the despair in people's hearts into hope."
"Do we need to rush?"
"Our opponent this time is Dream. It orchestrated the tragedy of my life. Everything I've experienced is related to it." Han Fei had to kill Dream. Dream wanted the black box in Han Fei's head. As long as Dream was still alive, it would always come for Han Fei. Han Fei didn't want to end up like Fu Sheng. The meeting ended. Han Fei's group returned to Happiness Neighborhood's base.
Han Fei closed the door and called Wu Chang to his side. He used the greed persona to communicate with him. That morning, they entered the hospital. At first, Wu Chang was sent into a normal nightmare. He used his power and made his way to the seventh layer. However, he met a strange existence in the seventh layer. To eat that thing, Wu Chang used his black flame. At that moment, the dream demons appeared to bind him. The demons possessed the presence of the Unmentionable. As weak as they were, they stopped Wu Chang from destroying the nightmare.
"It looks like you can't use any power greater than a normal Pure Hatred inside the nightmare, or you'd be surrounded by the dream demons." Han Fei wanted to know what Wu Chang encountered in the seventh layer, but Wu Chang couldn't explain it.
"It looks like the difficulty will skyrocket after the fifth layer. We might run into something special too." Han Fei gathered all the members of Happiness Neighborhood. They discussed their plan. When the sun almost set, Han Fei and his neighbors put on the black robe and left the base. This time, their goal was to investigate the relationship between the nightmare and the altars.
The players who guarded outside Happiness Neighborhood's base saw this and were instantly rejuvenated. They saw ghosts from the cryptic world walk out one after another. Their bodies were covered under black robes. They walked between the fading sunlight and the darkness. The street temperature dropped. The players only dared to watch quietly.
Han Fei returned to the hospital. He held Wu Chang with his left hand and Weep with his right. The other members also moved into groups of three.
"No matter what, if you feel troubled or when you reach the tenth layer, you have to exit. Remember, safety first." Han Fei took a step into the grey mist. Mist enveloped the hospital, and Han Fei was alone. Weep, and Wu Chang was gone.U//ppTodat𝒆d fr/𝒐/m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)\/m
"Am I alone?"
There was no way to return. Han Fei continued to move forward. He had cleared the fifth layer. He might need to enter the sixth layer on his own.
Han Fei slowly moved forward. When he approached the corner, vertigo came, and darkness consumed him.
The smell of trash burning stung his nose. Han Fei opened his eyes and noticed he was standing in a bustling street. The lights were glowing, and the hawkers shouted for customers. People came and went.
"So many people?" The previous nightmares had very few characters. Everyone was related to the nightmare, but this layer appeared to be different. "They are all people, right?"
The stench was horrid, but the people didn't seem to smell it.
"I appear to be the only player around. Did everyone get separated?" Han Fei adjusted his emotions and melted into the crowd. "Why is there the smell of garbage burning?"
There were too many people on the street. It was hard to tell whose nightmare this was.
Han Fei moved forward. The lights faded away. At the shadowy corner, a naked madman charged out. He pointed at Han Fei and scolded him. He had a collar around his neck. He was tied to the alley like a dog.
Beside the chain was an old signboard. It said Peace Street.
