Han Fei approached the happy-looking Worm and pretended to help. He ‘accidentally’ touch Worm’s arm. Han Fei saw Worm’s player profile. Worm’s full ID was, Crush me Like a Worm. His level was 15. His attribute was even. His intelligence and stamina were average. Worm’s luck was seven, and charm was 2. However, his SAN value was 25, which was almost as high as Huang Yin after his training. The higher the SAN value, the greater the player’s resistance to pain and pressure. Compared to other players, this was already a high SAN Value but compared to Han Fei, it was nothing. After all, Han Fei had a starting SAN Value of 100.

Han Fei continued to look through Worm’s profile, and his eyes narrowed. Worm had lied to Qiang Wei and the other players, and he had three very strange talents.

The first was a Grade F Talent, Toilet Training—the first training a toddler has is toilet training. Parents will train him to go to a fixed location to do their business. If the toddler can’t do that, his parents will humiliate and punish him. With this talent, the player’s SAN Value will act strangely. The player will gain resistance against certain physical discomfort.

The second was Grade E Talent, False Pleasure—the home filled with humiliation and violence is his only sanctuary; his parents who scold and beat him are also the people who care about him the most; in this conflicting childhood, he learned to endure the beating. He knew that if he were obedient, the beating would turn into apology and present. With this talent, when the player is anxious, panicked or in fear, there is a chance to temporarily increase intelligence; when the player is physically damaged, there is a chance to temporarily increase stamina; when despair is at its limits, the player has a chance to temporarily increase all attributes.

The third is a Grade C Talent, Vulnerable Personality—he is the official loser, the most easily bullied, the natural failure, the useless trash with no presence, but that is the mirage created by the vulnerable personality. With this talent, the player will have a very low profile, and they will be seen as a harmless person by the NPCs. When the pressure reaches the player’s SAN Value limit, the sadistic strong personality deep inside the heart will surface.

There were not many players with three talents. Individually, Worm’s three talents were not that powerful but combined, and they were horrifying. Inmate was definitely not a match for Worm.

Other than these three talents, Worm had a Grade F Unique title—At Death’s Door. With this title, the player had the chance to see the world after death and sensed their presence. This title suggested many things. Han Fei was the one surviving in the cryptic world, but it was Worm who got this unique title. In other words, this man had been torturing himself since the game started. He tormented himself until he was dying, and then he went to treatment and repeated the process. Perfect Life was a healing game, but Worm turned it into a horror game.

Han Fei was surprised as he looked further. Other than these three talents, and a unique title, Worm had a hidden profession—Pain Specialist.

Pain Specialist: I hope you can neutralize all the pain in the world, but I need to tell you something. The cruel truth is that there is only one way to alleviate all pain, and that is death.

‘Worm didn’t tell the other players the truth. He could see ghosts not because of his talent but because of his unique title. The man has hidden well.’ Han Fei realized there were very impressive players in the surface world. If Huang Yin didn’t make early preparations, with his existing talent, he might not reach the top of the ranking.

‘The 12 elites from Absolute Truth are lost in the theme park’s maze. The reinforcement they sent will be elites among the elites, so it’s not that strange for me to run into someone like Worm.’

Worm strapped to the cart closed his eyes. He didn’t know Han Fei had discovered all his secrets. ‘If I make use of him, he should be a great help.’ Han Fei and the staff moved Worm into the hospital. They walked past Building One and Two. They moved towards the deepest building. This was the first time Han Fei entered this part of the hospital. He kept looking around. The deeper they went, the more deserted the place. There was no doctor and patient in the corridor. There were only closed doors.

‘Where are they sending Worm?’ Han Fei silently turned his head. He noticed all the staff, including Zhang Zhuangzhuang, had their heads lowered as they moved forward. No one spoke or looked around. It was like they’d die if they saw things they shouldn’t. When Han Fei came to Building Four, a weak pleading came out of the room at the end of the corridor.

Moments later, the ward door opened, and Inmate in his uniform walked out, holding a bowl of bloody bandages. He mumbled, “Why operate when she already looks like that? The face is almost gone. How can she still be beautiful?” Inmate looked at the bandages with disgust, and he didn’t notice Han Fei.

Han Fei quickly calculated the distance between him and Inmate. He also confirmed the location of all the cameras on the corridor. They moved fast down the corridor. As they passed Inmate, Han Fei suddenly knocked into the cart as if someone pushed him from behind. None of the staff anticipated this, one of them even tripped and fell. Han Fei fell on the cart. He quickly took out his hand, and a red paper doll was hidden in his palm. No one discovered Han Fei tearing off a part of the doll and hiding it inside Worm’s pocket.

Han Fei turned around swiftly to grab Inmate’s collar, “Why did you do that? Do you think I’m that easily bullied?” Inmate, who held the plastic bowl, was confused. But when he saw it was Han Fei, he grinned viciously, “You womanizer, you dare to touch me?” He grabbed Han Fei’s arm and pushed. The weak Han Fei fell again. Their enmity was made official.

“Do you want to die fighting in Building Four?” Zhang Zhuangzhuang stared at Inmate. The other doctors didn’t say anything. They continued to push Worm forward.

Since his goal was accomplished, Han Fei didn’t waste time with Inmate. He crawled up and pushed the cart forward.

“What is wrong with this man? Last time, he bled even though I didn’t touch him. This time, he tripped himself. Is his profession an insurance scammer?” Inmate patted his bald head, and he hated to think about things like this. “I’m supposed to be playing a game, but I have to come to this damn hospital to take care of patients. If the black box is not here, I’ll never forgive them!”

Inmate grumbled. Han Fei followed the other staff and sent Worm to the corridor between Building Four and Five. The staff from other buildings didn’t have the clearance to enter Building Five. After they stood there for a while, the door of Building Five opened. A doctor with a scarred face and a tall doctor wrapped in bandages walked out. They moved Worm to another cart and pushed him deep into the dark Building Five.

‘The cursed paper doll can sense its paper shred’s location. I’ll see if I can reunite with Worm at night.’ Only Qiang Wei and Worm knew what happened when they tried to kidnap Du Zhu. Qiang Wei couldn’t be contacted, so Han Fei had to rely on Worm.

As the two doctors disappeared into the dark, Han Fei was stunned. The tall doctor who was covered in bandages felt very familiar.

‘He feels like Doctor Yan…’ When Han Fei fell into the memory world, Zhuang Wen, Big Sin, and Doctor Yan were dragged in as well.

Han Fei was too busy trying to deal with the women in his life to be searching for Big Sin and Zhuang Wen.
