Chapter 453 Equivalent transaction, using soul as a bargaining chip
Standing on the wooden table on the seventh floor, with the abyss behind him, Han Fei had no way to escape and nowhere to hide.
This was the first time he was forced to this point after entering the memory world of the shrine owner.
The shadows are like the rising sea, trying to submerge the only island that can touch the moonlight. Soon there will be no light in the mall and all the bright things will be lost.
"I know you have experienced something like this before, but if you don't change, the tragedy will continue to happen again, and no one will be able to break this curse."
There was a splitting pain in his legs, and his fingers stained with blood grabbed the edge of the table. The insects crawling out of the rotten skin were biting Han Fei's legs.
There are too many terrifying things hidden in the darkness. Even if Han Fei has lived in the deep world for so long, he still can't describe the ugliness and bloodiness of the monsters in the mall.
"Are you all crazy?"
Han Fei could feel that all the shadows in the mall were not perfect. They were incomplete and lacked many things in their bodies or souls.
Some people have no brains and their skulls are filled with sawdust. Some people have acquired superb cooking skills, but only use people to cook. There are also countless diners in the deli on the fifth floor who are indifferent and selfish.
To the extreme, although each of them retains their human appearance, they lose their human heart and warmth.
"What's wrong with you?"
The shopping mall ribbon on his head has turned into black hair, and his huge eyes are staring at Han Fei. He is the only sober person in the shopping mall.
But when the whole world is full of monsters, sobriety becomes a sin.
Darkness invaded and spread madly. Han Fei was forced to take another step towards the table. He was closer to the fence on the seventh floor!
"Boom!"
The mall shrouded in darkness echoed with the sound of bells, which seemed to be the Hades bell of the underworld.
The jumpers standing in the square on the first floor slowly dispersed, the expressions on their faces became extremely pious. The old man with a head filled with sawdust fell to his knees, his hands clasped behind his back, and his face pressed to the ground.
Next to the old man is a sweet-looking girl. She is tall, but her brain seems to have some defects, her expression is very dull, her hands and feet are tied with ropes, like a puppet; behind the girl is a drunkard,
He was covered in mud and his clothes were tangled with long hair.
"Boom!"
Another bell rang, and blood oozed from the huge advertising banner hanging in the center of the mall. As the blood solidified into black, the huge advertising banner of more than ten meters slowly slid down like a piece of black cloth covering the world!
"Boom!"
The moment the black cloth fell, a black shrine appeared on the first floor of the mall.
The shrine was so solemn and solemn that it overpowered all the darkness, and no one dared to look directly at it.
Amidst the dull ringing of the bell, the dark wooden door of the shrine opened little by little, the screams and wailing stopped, and behind the dark door, the arms imprisoned inside stretched out.
It was like a world composed entirely of arms, opening like a flower. Wrapped in countless palms, an arm engraved with a human face slowly stretched out from the deepest part of the shrine.
The face on the skin gradually turned into Han Fei's. When the hand was raised, all the darkness rushed towards Han Fei!
The shopping mall was trembling, Han Fei's world was collapsing, his soul and consciousness were grasped by that hand, and an invisible force brought him closer and closer to the abyss!
Unable to resist, when a person completely collapses, all words are redundant, no one can save him, all persuasion and comfort are ineffective, and death may become the only way out at this moment.
He moved his steps and stepped on the edge of the railing. His body began to tilt slowly, and he was about to fall with the world!
The hand stretched out from the shrine grasped Han Fei's heart and penetrated into his head. The fingers stained with blood and sin pierced hard into his soul.
"Boom!"
The sound of the bell was shocking, and when Han Fei felt that he was about to be dragged into the shrine, the memory in his mind took the initiative to divide part of it.
Whether it was a decision he made subconsciously or whether his three souls had their own thoughts, the actively divided memory left his mind with his most unfortunate and negative emotions and crashed into the palm of that hand.
An evil and cold soul was caught by an arm painted with a human face, and with the sound of a death knell, the evil soul jumped from the seventh floor in place of Han Fei!
Han Fei watched his other self fall with his own eyes. The other man's eyes were full of evil and madness. Rather than being taken away, it was more like he actively embraced all the darkness and despair.
"The shrine took away one of my souls!"
Han Fei did not make any transactions with the shrine, but the transaction was completed under compulsion.
The evil soul was grabbed by countless hands, and they tore him wildly, integrating him into the boundless darkness inside the shrine.
The absurd and morbid world is still alienating. Countless arms in the shrine are spreading around, and no one dares to raise their head.
Just when the shrine's attention turned away from Han Fei, a soft sound suddenly came from his arms.
Looking down, Han Fei found that the child puppet he had hidden in his pocket was full of cracks, tears were streaming on the puppet's face, and its hand was pointing to Han Fei's left side.
Turning to the left, a thin arm quietly stretched out from the darkness, grabbed Han Fei, and pulled him out of the package of countless shadows.
"Uncle, keep running to the left."
A familiar voice rang in my ears. At this time, the shrine in the center of the mall seemed to realize something was wrong, and countless arms quickly crawled upwards again.
At the critical moment, Han Fei didn't dare to stop at all, and ran to the left like crazy.
The scenes on both sides were retreating rapidly, and the door of the safety passage on the seventh floor of the mall appeared in front.
Without any hesitation, Han Fei rushed outside!
But the next second his face suddenly became bloodless. There were no stairs or steps outside the security door, only an empty abyss!
Everything about the owner of the shrine is trapped in the mall. There is no way out of this maze, and there is only death at the end.
The body fell downwards, but at the moment when the feeling of weightlessness appeared, an old arm stretched out from the other side of the abyss.
Grabbing the hand with all his strength, Han Fei looked up. The darkness was like falling snow, spreading around.
The scenes seen by his two eyes gradually became consistent, and a face full of wrinkles came into his eyes.
Pain spread from all parts of his body. Han Fei looked around with wide eyes. Half of his body was hanging on the outside of the guardrail on the seventh floor. His right hand dropped downwards and his left hand tightly grasped a slender arm.
"Almost died."
After regaining his consciousness, Han Fei grabbed the railing and pushed upward. He stepped on the edge of the seventh floor and climbed over the guardrail.
Lying on the ground, Han Fei was breathing heavily. Only then did he have time to look at the old man next to him.
The old lady had a wrinkled face, and a rag bag was thrown beside her, which contained a blood-red sweater.
Even though Han Fei was safe at this time, the old man still held Han Fei's wrist. I don't know if she was too scared to let go, or if she was worried that Han Fei would continue to do stupid things.
Both of them were speechless now. After a long pause, Han Fei broke the calm first.
"Grandma, thank you."
Han Fei thanked the old man, but the old man was still a little unclear. She looked at Han Fei and kept shaking his head, as if Han Fei's behavior just now reminded her of her son.
There seemed to be a lot of abnormal behavior in the period before her son died.
"I won't go near the guardrail again, don't worry." Han Fei tried to get the old man to let go, but he couldn't pry the old man's fingers apart without using force.
There was no way to get the old man to let go, but the seventh floor was too dangerous, so Han Fei could only slowly help the old man up, then let the other man grab his wrist and take her downstairs.
"Grandma, why are you here?" When he reached the first floor, the old man recovered from his shock, and Han Fei tried to communicate with him.
"I came to donate clothes, a sweater that my son had when he was seven years old, but there was no one in the store... There was a kid who said you were on the seventh floor. He was soaked. He took me to you..." The old man trembled.
After returning to the first floor, she let go of Han Fei.
"It was the kid who came to buy toys who helped me." Han Fei took out the children's puppet from his arms. The puppet was full of cracks and seemed to break completely if he squeezed it hard.
"These customers who come to the store may be my hope to break the situation."
After opening the door of the thrift store, the old man ran to the fake shrine on the first floor alone as he had done before, muttering something to himself, and then handed the bag in his hand to Han Fei.
"Grandma, this shrine is actually..." Before Han Fei could finish his words, the old man left tremblingly. She walked out of the store without looking back and disappeared into the night.
The old man would come over every night and do a good deed before leaving.
She insists that if she does a thousand good deeds, her son will come back, but in fact, even the shrine she worships at is a fake.
"There should be many people like her. They were all deceived by the mall owner." Han Fei looked at the dense wounds on his left hand and thought of the soul he had just lost: "I must let everyone see it.
Know the true face of the mall owner! This hypocritical devil!"
Sitting behind the counter, Han Fei opened the properties panel. When he saw the old man's face, he got rid of the hallucination of the owner of the shrine and directly received the system prompt.
But at that time, half of his body was still hanging outside the seventh floor, so there was no time to look at it.
"Attention players numbered 0000! You have completed the shrine random mission Illusion."
"You didn't get used to hallucinations as I asked, but you found a way to survive that didn't exist. You did what I didn't do. Maybe what you left for me is the right answer."
"The regret in the owner of the shrine has been made up by 45%! Get a lot of experience rewards! Get an opportunity to trade with the shrine without paying a price!"
"Attention! You use your soul as a bargaining chip to gain the opportunity to speak, but the transaction is always of equal value! Please think clearly about the price of your soul before you speak."
After completing the mission after a narrow escape, Han Fei also found himself approaching the core shrine of the world step by step.
After completing the mission "I" in Xicheng District, he gained initial recognition from the shrine. Now he has another chance to use the shrine. All the tasks are slowly progressing. While torturing him into a devil, it also makes him transcend.
He looks more and more like the owner of a shrine.
"My evil soul seems to have been taken away by the shrine. Without his help just now, I couldn't break away from the illusion." Han Fei was lying on the counter. He didn't know the price of the evil soul and had no interest in using the evil soul to make it.
To make a deal, he would release the remnant soul from the shrine.
"There seems to be a very scary guy living inside the shrine. After the evil spirit enters, can it still come out intact?"
In fact, this hallucination mission also brought many hidden benefits to Han Fei. It allowed Han Fei to see all kinds of things that the owner of the shrine was afraid of, and it also allowed him to meet other clerks in the thrift store. Perhaps from their
You can find out the weaknesses of the shopping mall owner.
After overcoming the hallucination, Han Fei is no longer ready to continue his serious work. He will start to fight back and use everything to lift the hypocritical mask of the shopping mall owner.
