My Healing Games

Chapter 59 The Good Moral Character of Returning Lost Property

Opening his eyes, Han Fei saw that the digital clock on the wall was pointing to midnight. He got up from the floor and looked at the gloomy living room.

"This place is moldy and cold, but after staying here for a while, it really feels like home."

A hissing sound of electricity reached my ears; someone had turned on the television in the living room, and an image faintly appeared on the black and white static screen.

The bedroom door at the deepest part of the haunted house was open. A child walked out of the room with his head down, as if he were possessed. He dragged his mutilated body into the living room and sat on the sofa.

"Cui Tianci?"

The child's facial expressions kept changing, sometimes ferocious and frightening, sometimes innocent and confused, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.

Han Fei dared not approach, and the child did not cause him any trouble.

Whether it was because the child had gotten used to Han Fei's presence or for some other reason, he completely ignored Han Fei.

"Is today the day the victims watch TV?" Han Fei knew that the victims watched TV not for entertainment, but to remember their past and prevent themselves from losing their last shred of humanity.

As they spent more time together, Han Fei gradually realized it as well.

The victims of the human body mosaic are in a bad situation. They are constantly fighting against the monsters inside their bodies. When they completely lose themselves, they will probably be forever fused into one monster and can never be separated again.

"I wonder if solving the case will help them rediscover their true selves."

The victims kept coming out of the bedroom and into the living room to watch TV. Han Fei sat on the chair next to them, watching them with great concern. There was a strange harmony to this scene, as if they were a family.

At 3 a.m., after three hours of waiting, Han Fei went to the living room corridor and looked at the bedroom at the deepest part of the haunted house: "Wei Youfu is the most special one among all the dead. He has more memories left than the other dead. I will use him as a breakthrough."

Now is a rare opportunity. The victims arrived in the living room one after another according to their respective times of death. Wei Youfu died at 3:04 a.m., so he should still be in his bedroom at this time.

Without the interference of other victims, Han Fei felt he could obtain more information from Wei Youfu.

He quietly entered the bedroom at the deepest part of the haunted house. At this moment, Wei Youfu and Gu Ye were standing by the wall. Their pale skin was covered with black veins, which looked very creepy.

The expressions of the two deceased were extremely terrifying; they seemed to be on the verge of losing control.

"Good fortune?" Han Fei whispered.

Upon hearing his voice, Wei Youfu's eyes twitched wildly in their sockets, countless blood vessels welling up in them, as if they were about to burst.

Han Fei dared not provoke Wei Youfu any further. He slowly backed away, and just as he was about to leave the bedroom, he suddenly saw some clothes in the corner behind the door.

One of the clothes looked very familiar to him; it was the same one his neighbor on the sixth floor had worn.

The neighbor has now disappeared, but his clothes have been left behind.

Han Fei quietly picked up the clothes from the ground and sneaked out.

"We still can't communicate normally."

Without bothering his roommate any further, Han Fei placed the clothes his sixth-floor neighbor had worn on the dining table. He was curious about what the psychopath usually carried in his pockets.

The moment his fingers touched something, Han Fei heard the system's cold voice in his mind.

"Attention player number 0000! You have discovered a G-grade blood-red item—Human Pupa."

“Human pupa (blood-red item): The pupa of a certain insect.”

Han Fei looked at the thing in his hand. It was a thumb-sized, grayish-yellow stone that felt hard to the touch, with a few faint blood streaks visible on its surface.

"This is a pupa? Why is the pupa of a certain insect called a human pupa?"

He put the human pupa into his inventory and continued to rummage through his other pockets: "When an NPC in the game dies unexpectedly, his legacy is also a great fortune. I was so focused on escaping that I forgot about these things."

After searching through the clothes of the neighbors on the sixth floor, Han Fei only found a human cocoon whose purpose he didn't know.

"He's supposed to be a deranged serial killer, and all he has is a pupa? That doesn't make sense, does it?" Han Fei took the pupa out of his inventory and looked at it, which resembled an ordinary stone. "The sixth floor is now occupied by outsiders. If I want to obtain a hidden profession, I have to kill ten outsiders before I reach level ten. This pupa is carried by outsiders, so it must be very important to them."

A plan slowly formed in Han Fei's mind: "It's not good to take other people's things without permission. The owner will definitely be very anxious. Why don't I take the sister from the fifth floor with me to return the pupae? At the same time, we can kill them all while returning the lost items to them?"

The idea immediately took hold of Han Fei's mind. He held the pupa and pondered what to do when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm.

Looking down at his palm, Han Fei noticed a very inconspicuous spike beneath the stone-like pupa. The spike had pierced his skin and was absorbing his blood.

"This thing sucks blood?"

Han Fei almost threw the pupa in his hand away. He noticed that after the pupa sucked his blood, the blood vessels on its surface had darkened a little.

"I hate bugs, so it's better to return it to the owner."

Han Fei put the pupa back into his inventory and took the clothes from his neighbor on the sixth floor to the door: "I haven't finished the main quest to explore the fifth floor yet. I'll take this opportunity to visit Xu Qin and finish this quest first."

After the last mission where he had to not look back, the stairwell had left Han Fei with a psychological trauma, and he would observe it for a long time before going out each time.

"It's very quiet, and there's no one around."

Quietly pushing open the security door, Han Fei walked upstairs little by little, hugging the wall. He was used to doing this, and without realizing it, he even wiped the paint off the wall in front of his house.

There's a peculiar sense of oppression in the apartment building's hallways, a feeling I don't know where it comes from, but it always appears as soon as I leave my home.

Han Fei was very lucky this time and didn't trigger any hidden plot points. He arrived at the corner between the fourth and fifth floors without any problems.

The door to room 1051 was still open, the dark doorway resembling the gaping maw of a wild beast.

"This woman is truly extraordinary for turning her room into a pet."

Han Fei quietly walked to the door of room 1052 and knocked lightly: "Are you home? I'm your neighbor downstairs."

After a long time, the door to room 1052 remained closed, but the sounds of cutting and chopping bones kept coming from room 1054 next door.

Standing alone in the dark stairwell, listening to the eerie cutting sounds, Han Fei felt a sense of panic.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the door to room 1054 was suddenly opened, and Xu Qin walked out carrying a black bag.

Her red coat became even more vibrant, and the excitement in her sickly eyes had not completely subsided.

"Sister, I've prepared another small gift for you."

Xu Qin wasn't surprised to see Han Fei. Her bloodshot eyes were fixed on Han Fei's face as she took a few steps forward: "Do you know what it means when a boy keeps giving gifts to a woman?"

Holding the human pupa he had just taken from his inventory, Han Fei noticed that Xu Qin was standing very close. He seemed somewhat at a loss: "What does this signify?"

Her lips, seemingly smeared with blood, formed a chilling smile. Xu Qin didn't speak; she simply threw the black bag into room 1051 and then opened the door to room 1052 with her blood-soaked hands.

"come in."
