My Healing Games

Chapter 120 One Hundred Ways to Die at the Crossroads
Huang Ying brought Han Fei a lot of information about the game "Perfect Life". The two talked for a long time and finally decided to wait until the official public beta before taking action together.

Deep Space Technology has not yet announced the final public beta date, but according to internal information obtained by Huang, the game "Perfect Life" will launch its global public beta within a month at the latest.

At that time, "Perfect Life" will become a second world for many players, and it will also become the world's first game managed and monitored by an AI.

People are full of confidence in the future. With the development of technology, some industry giants call themselves God. They believe that they can do what God can do, and they are constantly trying to do what God cannot do.

Everyone seemed to be looking forward to that day, except for Han Fei, who lived in the deep world, who was not so optimistic.

He knew very well that if one day the barrier between the deep world and the shallow world were broken, then "Perfect Life" would probably become the intersection of the underworld and the world of the living.

The perfect life of a few is built upon the imperfections and regrets of the majority.

The superficial world of a perfect life is devoid of any negative emotions or bad things because all the darkness, despair, pain, and evil in human nature are confined to the deeper world.

When the two worlds connect, those calamities and despairs will reclaim what they have lost tenfold or a hundredfold.

After seeing Huang Ying off, Han Fei returned to the film crew.

He followed the staff to the game venue to prepare for filming the scene where Meng Chang'an and Meng Changxi confront each other.

Interestingly, Deep Space Technology was worried that Meng Chang'an's appearance would affect the game "Perfect Life", so they did not agree to Han Fei and his team entering the venue to film. The company representatives present even hoped that the production team would change Meng Chang'an's name to something else.

With no other option, Han Fei and his team temporarily moved to another venue to complete the filming.

Around 7 p.m., after filming ended, Han Fei did not linger in the smart city area and went straight back to his rented room.

He ate something quickly and then began to read and study.

To figure out how Meng Chang'an gradually went mad, he read through all the books Meng Chang'an had read before, from the origins of neurology to brain anatomy atlases. Some of these books were untranslated, so he forced Han Fei to turn on a translator and read them bit by bit.

The more Han Fei saw, the more he realized his own ignorance, and the more he felt the danger of butterflies.

Time flies when you're focused on studying, and before you know it, it's midnight.

Han Fei washed his face with cold water and then put on the gaming helmet.

Welcome to the Perfect Life!

After stretching his body a little, Han Fei noticed that Wei Youfu was sitting next to him. It seemed that Wei Youfu already knew his secret, but he didn't ask any questions. Perhaps this was the trust between family members.

"are you feeling better?"

“I’ve regained my senses and am now trying to calm the others down.” Wei Youfu is a good man, and among all the victims of the jigsaw puzzle, he is the only one who is willing to believe in the homeless man: “They should be able to move around freely like me soon.”

"Only by regaining your sanity can you get out of the bedroom?" Han Fei glanced at the deepest part of the haunted house. Wei Youfu and Xiao Ba were always the only ones outside; the others rarely showed up.

"They are afraid of hurting innocent people, after all, they could lose control at any time."

"Your kindness is nothing like that of ghosts." Han Fei didn't know what to say. He sat down next to Wei Youfu, when suddenly he heard a crisp sound from the kitchen: "What happened?"

"Don't worry about it, Xiao Ba is trying to cook." Wei Youfu had a wry smile on his face; he seemed to have gotten used to it.

"Cook?"

I want to cultivate some hobbies and interests in her.

Han Fei rushed into the kitchen, worried. He saw Xiao Ba standing in the middle of a pile of garbage, looking helpless and pitiful.

“Cooking isn’t for you. I think you should try a different hobby. How about growing flowers?” Han Fei swept the trash aside and took out a packet of flower seeds left by Huang Ying from his inventory. “Fill this bowl with soil and water it regularly. One day in the future, some very beautiful flowers will bloom here.”

Han Fei didn't know if flowers from the mortal world would bloom in the underworld; he just wanted to give Xiao Ba something to do to prevent her from destroying their home.

Xiao Ba understood Han Fei's words, reached out her hands and caught the flower seeds. At that moment, her expression was somewhat sacred.

Stepping out of the kitchen, Han Fei went to the window and peered out through the gaps in the wooden planks: "The situation inside the Happiness Community apartment building has basically stabilized. Starting today, we will gradually explore the outside world."

"I'll go with you," Wei Youfu said, walking over as well.

"You can meet me in the stairwell." After saying that, Han Fei left the haunted house 1044 and ran to the fifth floor.

"Sis? Are you home? There's something I want to discuss with you."

When Han Fei appeared at Xu Qin's door, the dark figure in the next room stretched lazily, showing no intention of attacking Han Fei.

"What is it?" The door opened, and Xu Qin was holding a dinner knife that was still dripping blood.

A normal person would be frightened by this scene, but Han Fei found it normal and nothing strange.

"There's a mirror on the seventh floor. Do you know what's behind that mirror?"

"It's best not to provoke it. That mirror and the ghost dog in Building 2 are among the oldest residents in this community. They were already there when I moved in." Xu Qin was unusually rational, which also showed how unusual the mirror was: "Do you have any other questions?"

"Besides the mirror, there seems to be a picture of a hundred ghosts on the wall between the seventh and eighth floors. The first time I passed by, they almost stole my soul..."

"The residents on the eighth floor have abused and killed too many ghosts. The yin energy of those ghosts lingered after their deaths and gathered on the walls, eventually forming a murderous intent that bullies the weak and fears the strong."

"Isn't there only one person living on the eighth floor? She tortured and killed a lot of ghosts?" Han Fei's mind conjured up the image of Ying Yue.

"Don't be fooled by her appearance. There are many pairs of eyes in that little girl's room, and each pair of eyes represents a ghost. After she killed those ghosts, she kept all of their eyeballs. That girl is a complete psychopath and a madwoman." Hearing Xu Qin call someone a psychopath and a madwoman always felt strange.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Han Fei went up to the eighth floor.

Originally, he only wanted to suggest that Yingyue remove the murderous intent on the stairwell wall to ensure that there were no safety hazards in the building.

Unexpectedly, when Ying Yue heard that Han Fei had almost been tortured to death by murderous intent, she walked out of the room and led Han Fei to the corridor.

Standing facing the wall, Yingyue slowly opened her tightly closed eyes, the black holes resembling a deep, dark sea.

As Ying Yue opened her eyes, a scream came from the wall, followed by countless black wisps of mist floating out of Ying Yue's eye sockets.

The black mist pulled out figures from the wall, and Ying Yue locked all those figures into her dark eye sockets.

As the mist pulled the last ghostly shadow from the wall, Han Fei suddenly spoke: "The ghost that stopped me from finding you was him! Because of him, I almost couldn't tell you the secret of the fish tank!"

Upon hearing Han Fei's words, the black mist surrounding Ying Yue thickened even more, and the ghostly figure in the wall looked on with astonishment and fear. Looking at Han Fei's face, he was almost about to cry.

The ghost remembered Han Fei. When Han Fei passed by, all the ghosts were tearing at a middle-aged man, but he was the only one who turned around and glanced at Han Fei.

"Yingyue, why don't you let me handle him? After all, he once harbored ill intentions towards me."

Han Fei helped Ying Yue find the most precious gift. Ying Yue had never known how to repay Han Fei. When she heard Han Fei's words, her eye sockets, which had lost their pupils, slowly looked at Han Fei, and then she nodded.

The surging black mist rushed towards Han Fei's body. After the black mist dissipated, Ying Yue closed her eyes again, looking extremely tired.

"Attention player number 0000! You have successfully obtained the G-grade Crimson item - Ghost Mark."

"Ghost Mark (G-grade Crimson Item): A pattern drawn with ghost blood, pain, and despair as its pigments. The ghost mark imprisons the departed soul. Adding resentment to the ghost mark will make it more vibrant. If the ghost mark is not fed for a long time, it will gradually fade until it disappears."

Han Fei admitted that he had embellished the facts a little when describing them. He did not expect Ying Yue to directly kill the other party, and he did not expect Ying Yue to draw the ghost mark on him in the end.

Looking at the light red patterns spreading from his back to his arms, Han Fei could hear screams and wails coming from within the patterns, as if he had imprisoned a ghost.

Drawing the ghost pattern was very costly. After Ying Yue taught Han Fei how to use the ghost pattern, she returned to her room.

"Adding resentment to the ghost pattern continuously makes it stronger; this thing even has the potential to grow?"

With Ying Yue helping him so much, Han Fei secretly resolved to find a way to bring that family of three into the game.

With the experience from last time, Han Fei will be better prepared next time.

He left the eighth floor and started talking to the neighbors, trying to trigger the quest.

However, he spent a full three hours running around Building 1 and Building 2, but did not trigger a single task.

To receive a mission, one must deal with ghosts, but the problem is that the residents of the building are already familiar with Han Fei, and they don't need Han Fei to do anything.

As for those outsiders with ill intentions, they were all wiped out by the ghostly dog ​​in Building 2. What's even more amazing is that during the time Han Fei was offline, the residents of Building 2 took the initiative to go out and kill and devour all the wandering ghosts in the community.

They diligently completed the tasks Han Fei had initially instructed, and the Happiness Community is now much safer than before.

This should have been a happy occasion, but Han Fei couldn't be happy at all. He had to complete a task before he could log off, otherwise he would be trapped here forever.

"The game time is one-to-one with the real time. It's already past 3 a.m., and I need to complete a task as soon as possible."

Open the task panel. Since he became the building manager, the task panel has stopped updating tasks related to Happy Community.

All the tasks displayed on the panel required going outside the residential area to complete, as if the system was intentionally forcing Han Fei to explore the outside world.

"G-level main quest: One Hundred Ways to Die at the Crossroads: Quest requirement: Cross the crossroads at the entrance of the residential area."

"G-level main quest Convenience Store Clerk: Quest requirement: Become a temporary night shift clerk at Yimin Convenience Store and survive one night."

"F-Rank Main Quest: First Official Job: Quest Requirements: Find your first official job in this city! The perfect job is an important step towards a perfect life!"

"F-level main quest Yimin Private Academy: Quest requirement: Become a teacher at Yimin Private Academy and provide positive guidance and encouragement to the children!"

Judging from the names of some of the tasks, it seems like a very ordinary nurturing and healing game, but Han Fei knew that things were not that simple.

He glanced at the exit of the residential area, hesitated for a moment, and then chose to accept the first main quest.

Thank you to Yan Zuzu and the Alliance Leader, the Great Demon God of the Extreme Path!
