My Healing Games

Chapter 217: Difficulty in Sending God Away

"Of course I won't bother you! I've already told my parents, and they really want to meet you too." Li Ruonan grabbed the man's arm, and that long-lost warmth brought an undisguised smile to her face.

She half-dragged, half-carried the young man to the second floor of the small building. After pushing open the door, her parents were already sitting at the dining table.

"Mom and Dad, this is our new tenant."

The dim light illuminated the cozy little house. The father, sitting at the dining table, looked up at the young man, adjusted his glasses, and gestured for him to come and sit down: "Come and sit down."

"Uncle, Aunt." The young man was refined and very polite. He sat down at the dining table, holding the altar.

"Why are you wandering around outside alone so late at night? Don't you have anywhere to go?" Li Ruonan's mother had her hair tied up and looked very virtuous.

"I need to get to the end of the street. The road might be dangerous, so I want to find a few safe places to stay. If I encounter danger, I can temporarily hide in those safer buildings."

"You're going to the end of the street?" The father frowned. "I advise you not to wander off. You should stay here for now."

The father's voice carried an air of authority; as the head of the family, he seemed to be used to speaking in this way.

"Won't this be a hassle for you? I don't have much money on me, and I might not be able to afford the rent."

"Rent doesn't matter, you just need to agree to one request." The mother got up and walked to the young man's side. At this moment, the door closed and the chain slid as Li Ruonan locked the living room security door: "We can protect you, give you food, and provide you with a place to live, but from today onwards, you are not allowed to leave this room."

"Can't you leave?" The young man hesitated. "It wouldn't be a problem if I were alone, but I need to ask my friends for their opinions."

The lights in the room began to flicker. When the lights were on, the family of three looked normal, but when the lights went out, all three of them rolled their eyes back and their faces became distorted and pale.

"Now that you're here, settle in comfortably." The father's voice sounded terrifying as he lifted the bowl that had been turned upside down on the plate: "Eat your food. You'll get used to life here."

The light was distorted, and the young man looked at the dining table, where insects and rotten meat chunks were placed on the plates.

"Eat up, don't be shy! There's plenty more in the kitchen!" The mother looked at the young man, picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it into his bowl: "Eat up, eat up, it's delicious!"

"Auntie, maybe we should just forget about it? I don't want to cause you any more trouble." The young man tried to get up, but at that moment the lights in the room went out completely.

Strange sounds echoed in the darkness—bang, bang, bang…

Holding a chain, Li Ruonan walked out of her bedroom. She had changed into a brand new dress and had an extremely happy smile on her face: "This time, I will definitely not let you disappear for no reason again."

“Chains can’t hold a man’s heart. As long as he has hands and feet, he will still run away.” The mother affectionately patted Li Ruonan’s head. She took a kitchen knife from the kitchen. The mother and daughter’s faces were bloodless. Their expressions were twisted and cruel. Reason was slowly being swallowed up.

"Stay here, we'll raise you to be plump and healthy." Li Ruonan looked at the young man next door and said to herself with a smile, "It's okay, I can feed you from now on."

Seeing that the other party had taken out a knife, the young man knew he couldn't refuse: "Are you sure I can stay here? I can stay as long as I want?"

"Yes, you can live here forever! You can live here forever!"

The skin on the faces of the family of three began to slowly rot. When they walked up to the young man, the young man, who had been tense and fearful, suddenly calmed down.

“This is the first time I’ve heard such a strange request.” He opened the tattered altar in his arms: “Come out, everyone. The landlord said we can live here forever and ever, and just treat this place as our own home.”

The only light was distorted, and the temperature inside the cabin dropped to freezing.

"Who are you talking to?"

The father was the first to sense something was wrong. He had just asked the question when the sound of a child crying filled the room, followed by arms crawling out of the altar!
The resentment was growing, and the heavy smell of blood dispelled the stench in the house. One after another, gloomy and terrifying resentment filled the living room.

Sitting at the table, the young man put down his chopsticks, leaned back gently, and calmly glanced at the family of three, a gentle smile on his face the whole time.

"Auntie, from now on we're family."

Surrounded by several resentful spirits, the family of three nearly tore apart.

"Family members don't need to be reserved; sit wherever you like."

The family of three was seated at the dining table, looking at the young man opposite them, unsure of what to do. After a long pause, the father, wearing glasses, coughed a few times and said, "Our house is quite small; I don't think it can accommodate so many people..."

"It's alright, we don't mind." Han Fei tapped his fingers lightly on the table, seemingly deep in thought.

He didn't speak, and the family of three didn't dare to make a sound either. However, the father and mother were exchanging frantic glances, and then they stared intently at Li Ruonan. It seemed that this girl wasn't satisfied with just sponging off her parents, and now she was starting to screw them over.

"Actually, I really meant no harm. Although you wanted to hurt me, I've always been a magnanimous person." The young man's words rekindled hope in the family of three: "Let's settle this. You threatened to kill me, and I let it go. Now I had the chance to make you all disappear, but I didn't. Doesn't that indirectly mean I saved your lives? Does each of you owe me a life?"

The young man spoke quickly, but what he said did seem to make some sense.

“As I said before, my goal is to get to the other side of the street, and I need a few safe places to stay. If you're willing to cooperate with me and repay my life-saving debt, then we'll be friends, we'll be family. But if you're not willing to cooperate, then there's nothing I can do…”

"Yes! Of course! You're welcome to come anytime; this is your safest place to stay." Li Ruonan's father reacted very quickly.

"You'll see later how right this decision was." The young man took out a blood-red paper figure from his pocket, tore off a small piece of the blood-soaked paper, and fed it to Li Ruonan's father.

At the same time, a cold voice echoed in the young man's mind.

"Attention player number 0000! You have successfully completed the G-level hidden mission - The Home You Can't Escape."

"If the mission completion rate is less than 90%, you will receive the basic reward of +1 Free Skill Point, +10 Friendship with Li Ruonan and her family of three, and +1 to the number of buildings lit up on the map! Light up ten more buildings to receive the basic map exploration reward!"

The young man sitting at the dining table was Han Fei. He knew that this method of completing tasks by overwhelming strength would result in a lower completion rate, but he no longer had time to explore each task in detail.

Furthermore, since he has already reached level 10, the experience reward for doing G-level missions is not as high.

Han Fei's appetite is now quite large; he needs to try F-level missions.

Walking to the window, Han Fei looked out at the street. Li Ruonan's two-story apartment building was located on the other side of the intersection, a very important location.

"This will be the first building I occupy on this street. I will gradually clean it up and make more friends."

Having completed a task, Han Fei is now free to exit the game, and he has become even bolder.

Letting all resentment return to the altar, Han Fei left the second floor of the hut. He wasn't the kind of person who loved killing; as long as the other person was rational and able to communicate, he would try to befriend them.

Only if the other party is truly unwilling will he consider having other vengeful spirits and resentful thoughts come out to persuade them.

In fact, Han Fei now has his own unique method of identification. He will use himself as bait to test the remaining rationality of ghosts and monsters.

It is often said that one should not easily test human nature, and Han Fei now deeply understands this saying.

In fact, he had already seen several remnant souls and a resentful spirit before meeting Li Ruonan, but those guys have all been stuffed into the stomachs of Ku and Yinglong.

After spending half the night with Han Fei, Ku and Yinglong's strength increased rapidly.

The Firefly Dragon's wounds have completely healed, and the resentment emanating from his body is even more terrifying than before. His single eye seems to have gained a new ability.

The crying was even more astonishing. Unlike other resentful spirits, which would grow larger as their strength increased, the crying boy suppressed all his hatred and pain within his body.

He kept suppressing his resentment, and at this moment his body had already undergone slight changes; the crying was much more terrifying than before.

"Let's go to the next building. Tonight, I'm going to light up ten buildings on the map."

Most of the ghosts in the deep world stay in one place, letting their resentment slowly seep into a corner of the room, just like the previous residents of Happiness Community.

But now Han Fei has arrived. He doesn't care about rules at all. In his eyes, there are only friends and enemies. In order to survive better, he can become an angel or a devil.

After all the resentment returned to the altar, Han Fei's expression returned to normal.

Just as he was about to walk forward, the door of the barbershop next door opened again, and the man's face cautiously peeked out: "You actually made it out alive?"

Upon hearing the man's words, Han Fei's expression turned panicked. He gasped for breath and ran quickly toward the barbershop: "Their whole family wanted to kill me! I barely managed to escape!"

"They'll definitely come after us. Why don't you come into my shop and hide?" A glint of malice and greed flashed in the man's eyes, and an excited smile appeared on his face.
