No. 4’s fours flashed across his mind. The theme park was built for someone.

“The theme park has a new owner…” All the surrounding buildings came alive. The area was like a child’s dream. Strange things could materialize out of the corner the next second. Black flames burned within the three Pure Hatreds. The painter had confidence the theme park couldn’t do anything to them.

Black blood leaked out of his wound. The painter continued to move forward. He had his reasons to enter the theme park. “Be careful!” Lee Zai shouted. Xu Qin slowly moved to stand beside Han Fei.

With Wei Youfu on his left, Xu Qin on his right, and Big Sin behind him, Han Fei didn’t think the clown could harm him.

“I saw a clown by the window earlier. He appears to be able to hide his presence.”

“Window?” Zhuang Wen flew into the building. Soon, she jumped out. “There’s no one here.”

“He has already left?”

“The citizens here are very abnormal. Every one of them has a scary power. We’re still outside the park. You’ll see scarier things when we’re inside the park.”

The group slowly approached the giant theme park. The balloons in the sky were like heads looking at them. The children’s laughter became clearer.

“We’re here. This is it.” The theme park’s gate was open. However, when they looked in, the theme park appeared different to everyone. Some saw a mountain of dead bodies, lanterns made from skulls, merry-go-round covered in human skins, roller-coaster zooming through the abyss; others saw children playing around. They were laughing blissfully. It was paradise.

“What did you see?” Wei Youfu rubbed his eyes. “Why do I see my father waiting for me?”

Everyone stopped at the gate. Only Han Fei looked at the theme park and was silent. Deep inside the theme park, a boy sat alone on the swing, facing away from everyone.

“Is that me?”

The painter was the first to move. As he approached the gate, a black and white clown appeared. The left side of the clown was pure white, the right side pure black. He waddled forward, holding a white kid’s flag in his right hand and a black altar in his right.

The three Pure Hatreds immediately went into alert. The altar the clown held was different from all the altars they had seen. It was a complete, undamaged altar!

“What is the meaning of this clown? Is he raising a white flag in surrender?” Drake blinked his single eye. He was confused.

The clown suddenly tore off his clown and placed it on the ground. It was disrespectful to place the altar directly on the ground. The clown looked unhinged, but he knew the rules well. The smile on his face grew bigger. The clown’s hands grabbed the altar doors. He scanned the three Pure Hatreds before his eyes landed on Han Fei. After confirming something, he pulled the doors open slightly!

The balloons in the sky popped. The theme park trembled. All the buildings blurred. The children\'s laughter became shrill cries. Something stronger than a Pure Hatred was hidden inside the altar, and that power was the foundation of the whole theme park.

The black flame burned on the three Pure Hatreds. Blood spread underneath them. No one dared to be careless, facing the Unmentionable inside the altar.

The clown cackled. He enjoyed their reaction and yanked the door fully open!

The black altar was empty. There was not even a figurine.

“How is this possible? The altar is the most important thing left behind by that person! It is the only complete altar in this area! It is where he kept his largest memory fragment!” The painter’s dull eyes widened after he saw the empty altar. He had been tricked for decades.

As the clown cackled, Han Fei felt a hand fall on his shoulder. He turned around and saw a masked puppet standing behind him. The wooden puppet was once a tenant at Happiness Neighborhood. After he failed to challenge the old manager, he was sealed inside the building with Xu Qin. Like Xu Qin, he had once challenged Fu Sheng. After Han Fei completed the altar mission, he saved both Xu Qin and this broken puppet.

According to rumors, Fu Sheng brought this puppet out of the theme park about a decade ago. The consciousness was gone. It was silent like a real puppet. Eventually, everyone forgot about it, or rather it had a power that could eclipse its presence.

Han Fei normally wouldn’t bring it out. But he had brought out everyone to take on the theme park.

When the altar opened, everyone was stunned by the Unmentionable’s power. The puppet sneaked to Han Fei at that moment.

“Is everything planned?” Han Fei had a thought in his mind. The old manager purposely locked Xu Qin together with this puppet!

Fu Sheng used the same method to trap Xu Qin and the puppet. He wanted to create the false impression that the puppet was like Xu Qin, someone who failed to challenge him. Back then, Han Fei had just entered the game. After he narrowly completed the altar mission, even if he were suspicious, he wouldn’t be able to investigate anything. He had too little information. He had just entered the cryptic world, so his most imminent problem was how to survive.

Many thoughts flashed across his mind. However, when Han Fei was about to react, it was already too late. The puppet\'s body cracked open. The rotten heart fell to the ground. The mask shattered to reveal a curiously painted face. After the mask shattered, the scary presence couldn’t be hidden anymore. The puppet crumbled, and a perfect figurine appeared inside the puppet\'s body. The figurine looked just like Fu Sheng. His eyes opened. Han Fei felt his body was about to be torn apart.

“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve triggered Grade D Altar Mission—Resurrection!

“Resurrection: Each complete altar has a God living inside it. They are unmentionable entities. It’s wishful thinking to kill them.

“Mission requirement: Die less than 100 times!

“Notification for Player 0000! Since your level is lower than the recommended, the system will provide five additional hints!

“Hint 1: Forget everything to remember everything.

“Hint 2: After you die for the 100th time, the person revived will not be you.

“Hint 3: You will die when you play the game, you’ll die faster if you don’t play the game. Please use the game rewards wisely.

“Hint 4: Even the lowest Grade D Altar Mission is far more difficult than Grade E Mission.

“Hint 5: Do not ever forget yourself!”

The system came too late. Han Fei only heard the Grade D Mission when he was dragged into the perfect figurine.

“Han Fei!” Someone grabbed Han Fei’s arm, but it was too late.

His mind and soul were dragged into the figurine. Han Fei could feel his memory shatter and being scattered to the wind. Just as he was about to forget himself, the talisman he carried touched the figurine.

“Ultimately, he didn’t choose me. Instead, he gave you the key to become a God. If you fail, he will revive as you.” Spider’s voice came from the talisman. Nine shadows shielded Han Fei’s last memory before they were consumed by the figurine too.

“Han Fei, never forget yourself!”

…

Han Fei opened his eyes and looked at the white hospital wall. His eyes moved. He was lying in bed and wearing a patient’s outfit. His limbs were bound. Perhaps it was the effect of the tranquilizer, his brain was blank.

Footsteps came, and a middle-aged woman who sat near the door stood up to stop the doctor. “Doctor Fu, what’s wrong with my child?”

“Does your family have any history of mental illness?”

“No!”

“We suspect he suffers from paranoia and schizophrenia. They are hard to treat. We need the family’s full cooperation.” The doctor walked into the room. “Remember, do not trigger him. But do not encourage his false beliefs. Don’t try to change his mind. We have to focus on the despair he garnered from imagined beliefs.”
