My Healing Games

Chapter 123 Late Night Convenience Store

With the main quest completed, Han Fei let out a long sigh of relief, but the expression on his face remained cold and terrifying.

From a passerby's perspective, Han Fei gives off a dangerous first impression. He has a faint, perverse smile on his lips, and his bloodshot eyes reveal no human emotions whatsoever, only a deep-seated malice.

He seems to be deliberately attracting people to attack him; he's crazy, cunning, and insidious. Perhaps his mind is currently contemplating how to dismember vengeful ghosts, how to create more interesting human toys, and how to torture lost souls.

But in reality, Han Fei's mind had nothing to do with dismemberment. His heart was pounding, and while adjusting his facial expressions, he was thinking about how to escape as quickly as possible. He missed the sense of security that Xu Qin gave him. He wanted to get back to the haunted house, quit the game, order some barbecue and beer, and celebrate surviving another day.

After using the Soul Return technique, Han Fei's body was extremely weak. He forced himself to walk to the other side of the road, and he had reached his limit.

The bloodstains on the wall faded, and the vengeful ghost that could cloud the five senses hid away. Besides it, there seemed to be other vengeful ghosts spying on Han Fei in the shops across the street, but they seemed to have seen the fate of the human-shaped bloodstains, so they did not act rashly.

"It's time to go back."

Han Fei could log off at any time, but he felt it was too dangerous to log off in this place, so it would be better to return to Happiness Community.

As Han Fei turned around and was about to walk back, he suddenly saw Xu Qin frantically gesturing to him, seemingly telling him to hide first.

A fraction of a second later, Han Fei suddenly realized that the street was much quieter, and all the scapegoats who had previously "chatted with" him had disappeared.

"Ten minutes are up, something might be coming!"

Strange singing came from one side of the street. There was no one on the street now, and even if Han Fei wanted to run back, it would be too late. He might even bring that unknown thing into the Happiness Community.

Without hesitation, he decisively hid in the nearest shop.

After seeing Han Fei leave, Xu Qin also quickly retreated.

The surroundings became unusually quiet, so quiet that even singing from a very, very far distance could be heard clearly.

Han Fei didn't know what the song meant, only that when the song started, all the ghosts fled, and the place seemed to become a ghost town.

Couching beneath the shop window, Han Fei dared not make any sudden movements. He gently covered his mouth, barely daring to breathe.

The singing gradually drew closer. Han Fei couldn't understand what the other person was singing, nor did he dare to peek out. He just hoped they would leave quickly.

Clenching his fingers, Han Fei held his breath as the song drew nearer, looking up at the shop window.

The singing seemed to be intentionally approaching the intersection; it was probably attracted by the cigarette Han Fei had lit earlier, and now it stopped at the intersection.

A chilling song, like a call to a soul, echoed at the crossroads. Gradually, the song seemed to find Han Fei through some means!

The mournful song, mixed with laughter and cries, drew closer and closer to the shop. Han Fei even felt that it was now looking him up and down through the shop window.

The landlord's ring on my finger kept radiating coldness, and as the singing drew closer, an unprecedented chill surged from my finger into my whole body.

The song represented something more terrifying than anything Han Fei had ever seen before!
"Snapped!"

A crisp sound came from Han Fei's hand. He opened his eyes wide and looked at his left hand. There was a crack on the landlord's ring.

"Oops!"

The singing suddenly stopped, accompanied by the sound of shattering shop window glass, and a heart-wrenching scream rang out above Han Fei's head.

Blood flowed from his ears. Just hearing that sound made his will begin to crumble, and his life force almost instantly dropped to zero.

Without any hesitation, Han Fei immediately opened the attribute panel and pressed the exit button.

Blood descended, enveloping the world in crimson. As everything froze, Han Fei's consciousness began to dissipate, and at that moment he witnessed something even more terrifying!

In the city frozen in blood, a pair of hands reached out, seemingly trying to grab him!
Opening his eyes, Han Fei abruptly removed his gaming helmet, still in shock, and gasped for breath!
"What on earth is that thing?! It can still attack me even after I exit the game?"

Han Fei could hardly imagine what would happen if he were caught by the other party when he quit the game. Perhaps his consciousness would be imprisoned somewhere and become that thing's toy and collection.

His back was completely soaked with sweat, and Han Fei gripped the armrest of the chair tightly: "I was careless. Things have been going smoothly for the past few days, and I really let my guard down. Happiness Community is just the beginning. All the neighbors there are connected to the former building manager. Surviving them is nothing to be proud of."

His heart was pounding, and Han Fei couldn't calm down at all. The last thing that appeared brought him an indescribable terror.

He had always considered his downline as his trump card, but just now he discovered that this trump card wasn't 100% effective.

"Have some things in the Deep World become so powerful that they can defy the rules of the game?" Han Fei recalled the choice the previous building manager made him make next to the black box: "It seems that the Deep World is not only filled with despair and pain, but that world must be completely insane."

Just hearing the other party's voice caused Han Fei's health to plummet, and his consciousness began to dissipate. He didn't know how to deal with such a thing.

"The worst and most negative aspects of human nature are all deposited in the deep world, so it's not surprising that such extreme evil can arise from this place."

Han Fei looked at the gaming helmet on the table, then took out his phone and flipped to that strange photo again. In the photo, Han Fei was lying on the bed wearing the gaming helmet.

“I was home alone at the time, and I never figured out who took the photos. Now that I think about it, could it have been something inside this helmet?”

Clenching his fist, his knuckles cracking, Han Fei felt as if what was on his desk wasn't a game helmet, but a human head, a head with its eyes open, looking at him gently.

Han Fei was extremely exhausted, but he couldn't fall asleep.

The next time he logs on, he'll still appear in the shops outside the neighborhood; he doesn't know if that thing will leave.

"Let's take it one step at a time. We're already lucky to have survived this long."

Han Fei kept trying to comfort himself, but he still couldn't fall asleep. Every time he closed his eyes, that piercing scream would echo in his mind.

Sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains. Han Fei, who hadn't slept all night, got up and went into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror and tried to smile.

Anyone who sees that smile will feel that it is a smile full of kindness and happiness, except for Han Fei himself, because no matter how good his acting skills are, he cannot fool himself.

After washing up, Han Fei rushed to the film set to continue his intensive work.

He actually enjoys the state of being on set, because when he's acting, he's playing someone else and immersing himself in that persona. Only then can he stop thinking about his own things.

Filming for "Twin Flowers" is nearing its end. The first half of the drama remains largely unchanged, except for the removal of Ah Cheng's scenes. The second half is almost entirely a solo performance by Han Fei.

Taking advantage of Han Fei's current popularity, the distributor has also started a large-scale advertising campaign. Judging from the current feedback from netizens, this drama is unlikely to lose money.

While the rankings of major online TV platforms are almost entirely dominated by comedy, period dramas, and romance, the thriller/detective film "Twin Flowers" quietly climbed onto the list of most anticipated new dramas.

After a day of filming, Han Fei hurriedly left the filming location. He first had a hearty meal, and then returned home.

If that unknown entity is guarding the corpse when Han Fei logs in, he will surely die. He can only hope that the other party has already left.

Han Fei set an alarm and tried to sleep for a while.

When midnight arrived, he hesitated for a moment before putting on the gaming helmet.

The world in my eyes turned blood red, as if fresh blood was pouring down, soaking every corner of the world.

Welcome to the Perfect Life!

The system notification had ended, and Han Fei waited a second or two before opening his eyes.

The shop window was smashed, shards of glass remained on the ground, and in front of it was an empty street.

"It's gone? No one's guarding the body?" Han Fei's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and he sat down next to the shop window.

Upon opening the attribute panel, Han Fei discovered that his health points were now down to only three, and his body was extremely weak.

"That thing really left? But why does it suddenly feel so much quieter here?" Han Fei's hand accidentally touched the ground, and the sensation from his fingertips was very strange. He turned his head and his pupils slowly shrank.

Unable to find Han Fei, the unknown entity simply destroyed the three adjacent shops, crushing the bodies of the ghosts inside and spreading them across the ground, mixed with curses.

At first glance, the room may appear to be covered in thick mold, but it is actually a curse made of blood and flesh. The ghosts in the room have not completely disappeared; they can still sense pain and despair.

"Not even being completely obliterated is acceptable?"

Han Fei took out the knife Xu Qin had given him, wrapped the handle with a "human" skin pad, and gave the ghosts in the room a quick death.

He meant well and wanted to help those ghosts escape, but to his surprise, his experience points increased significantly after he killed them.

"I've finished off outsiders before, but I don't have much experience. Does this mean I can only gain experience points by making ghosts feel relieved? Can I only gain experience points if they willingly let me kill them?"

After dealing with the cursed ghosts inside the house, Han Fei walked out of the shop. He wanted to return to Happiness Community, but across the street, the old man with the brazier was staring at him with a vicious look.

"I only have three drops of blood left. I could die if I get even a slight touch."

There are two ways to restore health: the first is to rest, and the second is to eat food.

After thinking for a moment, Han Fei looked at the convenience store at the crossroads.

The entire street was pitch black, except for a faint light coming from that inconspicuous convenience store.

"The convenience store wasn't far from my shop, so why didn't that unknown monster destroy it? Was it just good luck, or is there some deeper reason?"

With only three drops of blood left, Han Fei dared not move rashly. He decided to stay in the cursed shop for now and try to return to his neighborhood after recovering.

Thank you so much, Brother Qiu, for being the leader!
