“Li Xue, don’t you think that your teacher has been acting very strangely recently?” Han Fei had only met Li Xue’s teacher a few times, but he felt like he had known him for a long time already.

“I was confused. Teacher is normally very strict with us, and he has the highest standard. However, he’s very permissible with you, and today he even admitted you as his student.” Li Xue was confused, “His students are the best officers. With him vouching for you, no matter what you do in the future, most of the police force will be on your side.”

“But why would he trust me so much? Until now, I don’t even know his name.” Han Fei believed that there was no kindness without reason. Someone like Li Xue’s teacher would have considered many things before making a public statement too.

“Perhaps Teacher admires you. When you stop working as an actor, you can consider joining the force. With your experience, you’ll be accepted with no problem.” Li Xue passed the helmet to Han Fei. This was how they met, but it had become more common for them.

“Joining the police is my dream, but I don’t think that dream will ever come true.” Han Fei knew what he had done. He had killed a lot in the cryptic world. “Anyway, sit tight.” Li Xue ferried Han Fei home. The night breeze caressed their faces. Han Fei still had no idea what Li Xue’s teacher’s name was.

…

Han Fei reached home before midnight. He logged into his computer and entered the grey area with the Sunny Boy account. Han Fei just wanted to get some news, but he realized that the grey area was in chaos. Due to the actions of the murderers’ clubhouse members’ activity in the intelligent city, the major tech leaders cooperated with the Xin Lu Police to take down the grey area. The hackers set up the defense as fast as they could. The outer region of the grey area was now a pool of chaotic codes.

Everyone in the Death Chat Group was talking about this. However, there was no hint of fear. In contrast, the excitement was palpable. These maggots that hid in the dark corners of the city had a perverted hatred of Xin Lu. They wanted to destroy goodness and tear down people’s bliss. Some were unable to do that in real life, but there were some crazy and powerful people in the Death Chat Group. There were high-intelligent criminals who hated the citizenry database and the danger rating. They wore masks every day in the hope of destroying these things.

There were also the smaller companies that had been injured by the two big companies. They were unwilling to be abandoned by time and were going to use any means to resist. Too many dirty things were hidden in the grey area for too long. Finally, they had shown their jaws. The resistance against the grey area was a new beginning.

“The female Death is not wrong. We’re on the cusp of the arrival of a new era.” Han Fei studied the many different chats. Eventually, he frowned because he saw a familiar name. “Shen Luo?”

Sunday Night School kidnapped Shen Luo from the police. However, when they tried to brainwash Shen Luo, they met an unprecedented problem. For three days, members of the school who tried to have personal lessons with Shen Luo started to have mental problems. Now, Sunday Night School had become a joke.

Han Fei looked at the chat, and he was worried, “I hope Sunday Night School… I mean, Shen Luo will be fine.” Temporarily, he couldn’t go save Shen Luo, so he could only convince himself. “Shen Luo ultimately has survived two altar worlds. He should be fine. But I don’t get it. Why would Dream’s consciousness fragment pick him? Is this fated?”

The conflict between the three crime organizations and Xin Lu heated up. Han Fei couldn’t do anything to help in real life. After he had read through everything, he exited the grey area, hopped into the gaming hub, and prepared to start his game.

“I logged out near the stairwell. As long as the bloody shadow is not there waiting, I have a chance to survive.” Han Fei took a deep breath and then logged in. Blood blurred his sight. When Han Fei opened his eyes, he touched the Ghost Tattoo and jumped away. It was darkness everywhere. There was an intense fight in the stairwell. There were cracks everywhere.

“The connection between the bloody shadow and me has become weaker. Did it escape to a higher floor?” Han Fei had no idea what the bloody shadow did after he went offline. He followed the trace of the fight and believed that the shadow had gone upstairs.

“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve destroyed 44 Mausoleums and completed the Grade E Mission, Grave Digger. You’ve obtained Double EXP and a new buff, The Respect of the Dead. You’ve obtained the mission to trigger the hidden profession, Grave Digger!

“Warning! Once you destroy 100 Mausoleums, you have the qualification to become a Grave Digger! It’s your choice not to gain the profession as soon as possible. The more Mausoleums you destroy before you adopt the hidden profession, the higher your compatibility with the hidden profession! If you can destroy the Mausoleum created by God, you’ll gain immeasurably buff to this hidden profession.

“Respect of the Dead (Buff): Your speed and stamina increase when you’re in a Mausoleum!”

Han Fei was still observing the stairwell when the system notifications rushed in. He was surprised that he had completed the mission. “Did the bloody shadow destroy all those Mausoleums? This shadow is quite kind to give me such a huge present as I log in.”

With one mission completed, Han Fei only needed to stay for three hours before he could exit the game.

“Notification for Player 0000! There are unique items left in the Mausoleums you’ve destroyed. Please collect them!” Han Fei was surprised to hear this. “The system has never been so kind to remind me of such things before. Or am I imagining things?”
