Chapter 844: My Job is to Teach and Heal

“Don’t move! Stay there, and don’t move!” The uniformed members quickly cleared the crowd. They set up a perimeter to surround Han Fei. “Is there a problem with the device?” Han Fei argued. Even though there were a lot of ghosts in his greed abyss, that shouldn’t show up in the reading.

“Put your hands on the table! Don’t do anything stupid!” The soldiers of the center were well-trained. This was not their first time dealing with something like this. They only used several minutes to separate Han Fei from the rest. The superiors arrived too.

“Uncle Zhao! The suspect has been detained at Inspection Zone Seven! Everything is normal. The target is sane and shows no sign of madness!”

The crowd parted to allow a middle-aged man to walk to the perimeter. “A tragedy-grade warning? A Pure Hatred has been detected?” The officer looked at Han Fei. Han Fei’s expression changed. “Zhao Ming?” Han Fei thought the man looked familiar.

“Do you know me?” The officer narrowed his eyes as his hand reached for his pocket.

“You managed to survive?” Han Fei was in disbelief. Zhao Ming was an officer in the old city. When Han Fei first gained the gaming helmet, Zhao Ming and Zhang Xiaotian investigated the fire. Zhao Ming was like a different person after the tragedy. He was mature and experienced.

“Why can’t I survive?” Zhao Ming was ready to move. He signaled the young man beside him to have him bring the crowd further away.

“It’s normal that you don’t remember me, but do you remember the name, Han Fei.” Han Fei looked at Zhang Ming with anticipation. He wanted to know what had happened to him in the altar owner’s future. “Haven’t heard of him?” Han Fei asked again, “Then do you remember your colleague, Zhang Xiaotian?”

Zhao Ming’s eyes dimmed. Then he took out a bloody picture from his pocket. “He’s here.” Han Fei stopped speaking. Many died in the tragedy.

“Tell me why you are at the Tragedy Investigation Center and why you have a Pure Hatred’s presence on you?” Zhao Ming was buying time for the innocent to retreat. Han Fei smiled sadly. “My name is Gao Cheng. I have the greed persona. Perhaps you’ve sensed the ghosts in the greed abyss.” Black mist erupted around Han Fei.

“Calm down! He’s not a ghost!” Zhang Menglan ran over with an elder. The man was the person who gave Zhang Menglan’s boyfriend his mission.

“Captain Zhao! Stop! We have info on this teacher. He is indeed a persona user!” The elder quickly showed the document to Zhao Ming, “Gao Cheng is on the list. We need to pay attention to him!”

Zhao Ming slowly calmed down when he saw the document with the director’s seal. “He can trap ghosts, and the device says that he has the presence of a Pure Hatred. Does this mean he has trapped a Pure Hatred? How is that possible?”

“Before they came, they killed the school headmaster. The headmaster had been trading with the Black Building’s Pure Hatred!” The elder pointed at Yan Lan. “She killed him, and he took the body.”

“Ol He, are you sure about this? It’s too risky to let a man with the presence of a Pure Hatred into the base.” Zhao Ming wasn’t doing this to target Han Fei. He was being responsible.

“I can stay outside the base.” Han Fei was very cooperative. “I came mainly to escort my students.”

“It’s getting dark. I really can’t let you all into the base tonight, but I’ll provide everyone with tents and food. Tonight, at least you’ll stay within the safe zone.” The elder was responsible for logistics. His department had started to counsel the kids and survivors.

Half an hour later, 11 survivors were led to the quarantine zone with Han Fei. Some of them were possessed on the way there, while some were cursed. Han Fei’s group didn’t notice this. If they were let inside the base, tragedy would happen. After two exams, Ol He’s department spread food and questionnaires for everyone. Everyone could join the Tragedy Investigation Center, but everyone had to be ready to die. The members gathered not to eke out a living in ruins but to investigate the truth behind the tragedy. This was a fort built on faith. Even though there weren’t many people, it was the strongest of the three human bases. Questionnaires spelled out everything clearly. Those who were willing to fight the ghosts could stay. Those who didn’t want to would be escorted to Hope City when the day came. The Center would enter the city daily to rescue the humans trapped inside. They also contacted the smaller bases. Around midnight, the statistic was out. Of the 3000 survivors, only 300 plus people were willing to join the center. Previously, they thought they didn’t have a choice. Now that they knew they could go to Hope City, many preferred to go there. It was worth noting that most students chose to stay. The purpose of the school was to train sacrifice that was not afraid of death. This was a good thing. After the students witnessed the cruelty of ghosts, they wanted to change the world. That was what the school taught them. The center was satisfied with this result. The students all had persona, and they were seeds of hope. After registering each student, the center welcomed them.

“Class One has 29 students, and 25 decide to stay! Three of them have unique personas. 10 of them have awakened their personas, and the others will soon awaken too!” Ol He was in a good mood. “The teachers at this school are very capable. They are very powerful and teach good students.”

“Don’t you feel sad for them? If not for the death of the headmaster, these students would be served to the Pure Hatred.” Zhao Ming stayed close to Han Fei. He was still guarded.

“Class Two has 22 students, and 20 decide to stay. 1 student has a unique persona… My god!” Ol He’s eyes widened. He patted Zhao Ming.

“What’s wrong?”

“Zhao Ming! Look at the result for Class Seven!” Ol He’s hands that held the result trembled.

“What about a group of kids?” Zhao Ming glanced at the result, and his eyes couldn’t pull away.

“Class Seven has 30 students, and all of them choose to stay. 25 have unique personas. 4 cannot be detected by the machines, and one of them caused four of our devices to fail!”

Zhao Ming was shocked. 25 students had unique personas? If they continue to grow, they would become captains like Zhao Ming!

And what about the four kids that couldn’t be detected by the devices?

Zhao Ming’s eyes twitched. He didn’t even know what to comment about the kid that broke their devices.

“What is wrong with this class? How is it so much better than the other classes?”

“I don’t know!” Ol He glanced at Zhang Menglan’s Class Eight and then looked around. “The teacher of Class Seven must be a monster to teach a class like this! I need to tell the director to invite this teacher into the base!”

“It’s alright. I can enter the base tomorrow.” Han Fei heard the conversation. He leaned on the fence and waved.

“You’re the teacher for Class Seven?” Ol He and Zhao Ming looked at Han Fei. They couldn’t see what was special about him.

“That’s me.” Han Fei smiled shyly. “I might have the greed persona and have done many bad things, like sacrificing a whole prison and eating ghosts, but I am a good teacher. My expertise is to teach and heal.”

Zhao Ming felt like Han Fei was very sick. Ol He repeated what Han Fei said, “Sacrifice a whole prison?”

“You focus on strange things.” Han Fei shrugged. “I’m really not a bad person. I have the same goal as you. If possible, I wish to meet your director.” If Han Fei were just a survivor with the presence of Pure Hatred, then Zhao Ming and Ol He wouldn’t pay him so much attention. However, Han Fei had a class of monsters!

“Keep an eye on him! I’ll go inform the superiors!” Zhao Ming grabbed the results and left. About 20 minutes later, the side door of the center opened. The armed members came to Han Fei. This group radiated Yin energy. They should be the main force of the center.

“What do you want to do?” Before Han Fei spoke, Yan Lan and Wang Chuqing moved over. “We escorted the survivors over. We’ve done what we should. Don’t push it.” Yan Lan stood in the crowd. She was fearless. “Gao Cheng is our teacher. As the temporary headmaster, I will not allow him to be taken away alone.”

“Our director wants to meet him.” The leader pointed at Han Fei. He avoided Yan Lan and shouted at Han Fei. “She said she had not heard of the name Han Fei before, but she felt like the name was very familiar. She wants to meet Gao Cheng or Han Fei.”
