MIG - Chapter 771: Past
9-11 minutes 23.04.2023
The twin-headed man didn’t know what had happened in the outer zone. He saw Han Fei come to deliver the letter, and the gardener exploded in anger. He intended to use the dancer’s life to threaten the gardener, so he subconsciously thought that it was his people who had made a move. “Since we’re at this stage, I won’t hide it anymore. You have to return to the building and sacrifice your own flower to God, or we’ll torture the dancer.”
“How dare you?!” Even if she only had a head left, the gardener was imposing. Blood vessels leaked out of her neck. The whole bungalow was now her body and every plant was a part of the gardener.
“What power is this?”
The flowers in the yard wailed in pain. The power of their souls was absorbed by the gardener. The strange plant moved to trap the twin-headed man like a cage. “The owner of the garden is God, and you’re just the worker who borrows his power. If he knows you’re stealing his power, you’ll end up worse than the dancer! There’s nothing God hates more than those who betray him!” The man woke up his other head. The eyes opened. He had a pair of pure black eyes. Everything he saw would be consumed by death. The twin-headed man spoke harshly, but he knew he wasn’t a match for the gardener. He cut through the plant cage and escaped from the bungalow. “Gardener, you have one more hour to think!”
Various plants that Han Fei hadn’t seen covered the sky. Not even a single drop of black rain could enter the bungalow garden. Even the sound of the twin-headed man was filtered out.
“He sure talks a big game.” Han Fei stood still, afraid that the thorns of the plants would hurt him.
“Come here.” The gardener’s head moved. “Other than telling you to deliver this letter, what else did the dancer say?”
Han Fei could hear the concern in the gardener’s voice. He thought about how the dancer looked when he mentioned the gardener. He said, “The elder is worried about you and hopes that you can return soon. It doesn’t matter where he lives as long as he’s with you.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” The gardener sounded mad, but the wrinkles on her face smoothed. She hadn’t heard something like that for a long time already.
“It’s true.”
“Why would the mirror in the clubhouse break? Other than you and the dancer, did someone else enter the clubhouse?”
“Didn’t the elder explain the reason in the letter?” Han Fei glanced at the letter. The letter only mentioned that God’s eyes had cracked and that he had found the twin flower. He hoped that the gardener would look after it.
“Nothing related to God can be written or spoken.”
“Actually, I was the one who accidentally cracked the mirror. The elder thought it wasn’t good, so he sent me to look for you.” Han Fei said embarrassedly.
“So, Xi’s people haven’t been there?” The old lady sighed in relief. Her vessels stopped pulsing.
“Is that the name of that man? What a strange name.”
“Everyone here has a strange name. You better stay away from them.” The gardener moved her neck and chanted something at the pool. A body made from bodies and plants crawled out of the pool. “My body hasn’t recovered. I temporarily can’t leave.”
“Then, I’ll stay to accompany you. If that man stayed around, I wouldn’t be able to fight him anyway.” Han Fei said honestly. He grabbed a chair and sat in the creepy garden. “Teacher, you should have lived here a long time, right? What does this zone originally look like? Has it always been covered in black rain?”
“Teacher?”
“You taught me gardening, so, of course, you’re my teacher.”
“As you please.” The old lady did prefer being called a teacher to a gardener, “The dancer and I are the locals here. Back then, no one has become God.” Han Fei became serious when he heard God.
“His memory silently changed the city, turning this place into his memory,” The gardener revealed some important secrets. “Before that person became God, it once lived in the abandoned city. It was old, abandoned, cold, and decrepit. The construction of the intelligent city absorbed many populations, energy, and power like that skyscraper.”
‘The Unmentionable has once lived in Xin Lu intelligent city! He lived there when the intelligent city was being built, and the countryside began to dry up.’ Ever since Han Fei entered the black rain zone, he felt like the place was similar to the intelligent city. He finally understood why.
“The person was once a very good person. But for some reason, he changed. He still looked the same, but he had become the founder of the killer’s chat group.” The gardener looked uncomfortable, and her wrinkles deepened. “He is the evilest person I’ve met. And then

“And then what?”
“Then, he can’t be called a human anymore.” The gardener’s head trembled. “He’s the reason I’m a gardener. He has many ‘creations’ like me.”
“Can I find his info in real life? I mean, will the police have a case file on him?” Han Fei’s breathing became heavy. He didn’t expect to get this info from the gardener.
“I believe you can. A long time ago, an officer entered the garden to look for Butterfly. He accidentally saw the owner of the garden. I believe the officer’s name is
” The gardener’s mouth opened, but she couldn’t say the name. The skin on her face peeled off. “No. I can’t say it!” The gardener’s eyes filled with fear. “God has seen me! I need to leave!” The flowers in the garden started to wilt. The strange plants shattered, and the black blood flowed into the pool. The ground shook like the bungalow was about to collapse. The gardener forced all the energy into the ugly body. She planned to leave this place and never come back.
“Aren’t you being a bit rash?” Han Fei didn’t expect this to happen. They didn’t mention the Unmentionable’s name, but bad things were already happening. Han Fei hurried and left. When he passed by the garden, he saw a pure white flower blooming at the edge of the pool. White was a rare color in the cryptic world. Everything was corrupted, after all.
“The mission reward told me that there are extremely rare flowers here. Is this it? This system is ridiculous. Why can’t it just give me the reward directly?” Han Fei suddenly changed his route as the bungalow collapsed. When he reached the flower, he realized the white flower petal was human skin, and a sleeping child’s soul was inside the flower bud. “The garden is going to absorb the power of all the flowers. She’ll crush all of you. I’ll bring you out.” Han Fei used Flower Language to convince the flower.
“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve obtained an Extremely Rare Grade E Flower—Mother and Son.
“Mother and Son: God killed her and her family when her child was born. God was happy. The kind gardener stole this creation and hid it in her room.
“The flower has an extremely rare power of life. Consuming the flower will permanently raise your Life Points by 10! But you might be targeted by the flower’s creator!
“Warning! Please ingest the flower as soon as you pick it! The soul will disappear within three minutes! If you choose to cultivate it, there’s a chance that the flower might bloom into a color the cryptic world has never seen?”
“Eat it?” Han Fei glanced at the soul of the child. He couldn’t do it. Raising the maximum Life Points was very good, but Han Fei wasn’t callous enough to do that. “It’ll die if I pick it. I need to carry it with the soil.” However, Han Fei didn’t have time to do that. He grabbed two wooden planks to cover the flower, and then Han Fei quickly exited the bungalow. The walls collapsed. The gardener rushed out of the bungalow. Her face was filled with fear. She kept glancing at the skyscraper, like she was being chased by something invisible. She ran towards the outer zone.
“Is this the real power of the Unmentionable? Just its presence when it’s slumbering can scare the gardener that much?” Han Fei walked out of the corner holding the black umbrella. The gardener forgot about him in her extreme fear. Now he was at the bungalow alone. “The commotion here was huge. Soon, other things would come. But if I leave now, the pure white flower will be eaten by the other ghosts.” The locals of the black rain zone were corrupted. They’d do anything.
At that moment, Big Sin gave Han Fei a warning. Han Fei turned around and saw the two-headed man looking at him from across the street. His heart seemed to freeze. Han Fei felt malice slither up his spine. Han Fei licked his dry lips. He checked his menu, and his most powerful active skill, exit the game, had lit up.
The nervousness in his eyes was gone. Han Fei used Soul Mist to cover everything. After doing that, he raised the black umbrella.
“What is in the letter you gave the gardener?” The man’s voice was hard. His eyes were sharp.
“Do you want to know?”
“Tell me!” Two different voices came from the man’s heads. He gritted his teeth angrily.
“Because you told me to?” Han Fei walked forward. The ghost tattoo on his body was triggered. The presence of tragedy poured out. “Why should I listen to you?”
