My Healing Games

Chapter 148 The Singing Inside the Building

Team Leader Shi was worried that Han Fei would be deceived by Mingmei's appearance, so he directly revealed all the crimes the girl had committed.

After listening, Han Fei showed a surprised expression: "How could such a sweet-looking child have done so many heinous things? She must have been only six or seven years old when the crime happened?"

“Never underestimate a person’s evil. The reason this child developed a brain disease is because she did something terrible when she was a child, which is why she keeps seeing the girl she killed in her dreams as an adult.” Captain Shi said with a serious expression, “We should indeed show basic humanitarian concern for criminals, but we should never sympathize with them. Sympathizing with them is to inflict secondary harm on the people they tortured and killed.”

"Understood. So how long will the girl be sentenced to?" Han Fei asked a question that he was particularly concerned about.

“This child is young and suffers from mental illness. If we want her to receive the punishment she deserves, we must first make her confess.”

"It seems we need to treat her as soon as possible." Han Fei looked at the doctor beside him: "Is that auxiliary treatment helmet you're using useful? I remember Deep Space Technology makes games and communications?"

"Deep Space Technology is also a world leader in brain exploration. You must have heard of their game, 'Perfect Life,' right?"

"Of course I've heard of it. It's a game that's popular with everyone. Its ads are everywhere."

"This auxiliary treatment helmet is connected to the core AI of 'Perfect Life,' which is also the latest equipment introduced to our hospital. With the help of the core AI's powerful computing and analysis capabilities, it can capture and present the complex and pathological world in the patient's mind in a fraction of a second. We can use this instrument to sense the source of the patient's inner fears and then treat the symptoms to cure the disease."

"So, this auxiliary healing helmet and the 'Perfect Life' game use the same server?" Han Fei didn't understand these things, and his face was full of doubt.

"There's no server issue. All the products Deep Space Technology is currently releasing are built around the foundation of the eighth-generation AI they're testing. That's their company's core strength. If you want to use their latest products, you have to connect to the eighth-generation AI. You could call that a kind of monopoly," the doctor in the white coat explained patiently.

"Aren't you a psychology expert? How come you know so much about deep space technology?" Han Fei's mind worked quickly. Some of the things he had experienced were interconnected, so he had to be careful, because some coincidences could be fatal.

"Times are changing, and technology can help us see ourselves better. Embracing technology is the right thing to do in any industry."

"Great minds think alike, Doctor. May I ask your name?" Han Fei remembered that Li Xue's teacher had specifically reminded him to pay attention to the professions of teacher and doctor.

"My surname is Hu, and my name is Hu Wei."

After leaving the detention center, Han Fei returned home at around 11 p.m.

He ate something quickly, connected all the wires, and then put on the gaming helmet.

A crimson hue descended, engulfing everything, and the world in Han Fei's eyes changed...

The game login notification sound had just disappeared when Han Fei was pulled to the ground.

He opened his eyes and felt a chill on his face.

Looking down, he found his mouth covered by a pair of pale hands.

Goosebumps instantly rose on the back of Han Fei's neck. He slowly turned his neck and realized that Wei Youfu was behind him.

With a look of confusion in his eyes, Han Fei pointed to the tightly closed door, as if to say that something was wandering outside.

Wei Youfu seemed not to understand Han Fei's meaning, and slowly released his hand, signaling Han Fei not to speak.

The surroundings were oppressive and quiet. Not only was the 1044 haunted house silent, but the entire Happiness Community was deathly still, without a sound.

Ten minutes passed before Wei Youfu slowly got up and looked outside through the cracks in the wooden planks of the window.

Suddenly, a woman's singing voice rang out in the once quiet Happiness Community. The strange nursery rhyme, with its eerie melody, seemed to be slowly approaching Building No. 1!

The moment Han Fei heard the song, his unease reached its peak. He silently put the landlord's ring back into his inventory and lay motionless under the window.

Han Fei had heard that song next to the convenience store; if he hadn't been able to quit the game, he would have died then and there.

Because I've been in close contact with them, I understand how terrifying they are.

"How did something unspeakable get into Happiness Community?"

The singing grew louder as it approached, and at one point it even lingered near the window of the haunted house, which was on the fourth floor.

Han Fei instinctively covered his mouth and sat down with Wei Youfu. He tried to make eye contact with Youfu, but Youfu just shook his head slightly and didn't dare to make any extra movements.

The singing didn't dissipate, and what was most terrifying was that, a dozen minutes later, the singing reappeared in the stairwell of Building 1.

As the voice-activated lights lit up one by one, Han Fei's heart clenched.

"Oh!"

The door to a room on the second floor was opened, and then the sound of doors opening continued to echo down the hallway!
Floor by floor, the singing soon reached the fourth floor!
"Boom! Boom!"

The doors to rooms 1041 and 1042 were opened, the security doors slamming heavily against the wall, and then the singing went up to a higher floor.

When the door to room 1041 opened, Han Fei had already held his breath. He covered his mouth and nose, not daring to make any sound.

The sound of doors opening and closing echoed continuously from inside the building. Apart from these sounds and singing, there was no other noise. The whole world was so quiet it was almost oppressive.

The singing soon came down from the top floor, and as it passed the fourth floor, the door to room 1043 was opened.

Just a little bit closer!
The singing gradually faded until it disappeared completely.

Slumped to the ground, Han Fei realized his clothes were soaked with cold sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

Wei Youfu gently patted Han Fei, then took out the paper and pen he had prepared beforehand, wrote a sentence, and handed it to Han Fei—Don't speak yet, come back carefully.

Wei Youfu didn't dare add a subject to the text on the paper, but Han Fei already understood what the other party wanted to express, and he nodded.

Half an hour later, after the singing completely stopped and various strange noises began to appear on the street, Wei Youfu finally got up from the ground.

He placed his hand on his heart and said softly, "It's alright now, you can come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of arms appeared behind Wei Youfu, and one by one, the victims of the human body mosaic appeared, wrapping Xiao Ba in layers with their own bodies.

"We've escaped this time, but I wonder if we'll be so lucky next time." Wei Youfu looked terrible. He opened the security door of the haunted house, and all the doors to the three rooms on the fourth floor, except for room 1044, were open.

"That thing actually managed to get into the residential area?" Han Fei asked after a long pause.

“This is the first time.” Wei Youfu was also very puzzled: “When the previous building manager was in charge, the singing could be heard outside the community, but it never entered the community.”

"The first time? And I actually ran into this?" Han Fei leaned against the wall, looking at the stairwell outside. "It feels like it's looking for something?"

"It must be looking for Xiao Ba. The previous building manager once said that the deceased number eight was a key, and whoever possessed Xiao Ba had the possibility of leaving this place."
