My Healing Games

Chapter 720 Paradise Labyrinth
"Is this the address on the invitation?"

From their appearance, it's impossible to tell what the buildings in front of us are for; they are intertwined, like the twisted and perverse mind of a person.

“The Paradise Maze?” Yan Le’s mother almost didn’t recognize the building in front of her. Compared to when she left, the Paradise Maze had undergone tremendous changes, as if a newborn baby had been constantly fed all sorts of terrifying things and slowly grew into a monster: “This death game is to select a new ‘brain’. The Paradise Maze happens to be the territory managed by the ‘brain’, so it’s normal that the final address is here.”

"Don't go over there yet, it seems like we're being watched." Rose suddenly spoke up, and quietly walked to Han Fei's side: "My assistant secretly collected F's blood. There's a player whose hidden class is Blood Slave. He can identify the smell of blood. I just received a warning from him. F is also in the amusement park. At the closest point, he was only ten meters away from us."

“I knew he would come.” Han Fei didn’t go directly into the maze, but instead looked at a clothing store next to it. To increase the maze’s playability, the park would provide players with various costumes and props for free, allowing them to play different roles to explore the maze.

Han Fei wasn't interested in role-playing; what really caught his attention was a ranking list hanging in the clothing store.

Apart from the top three, the rankings on the list kept changing, and many names turned blood red as soon as they appeared on the list and then disappeared.

"The Amusement Park Maze Points Leaderboard?"

In a corner of the park hang many lists, each with a different name. Most of them are for tourists, while a small number are for those invited to participate in the death game.

On the list that Han Fei saw, Li Guo'er was ranked first, and the words "one hundred points" were specially highlighted in blood, as if she was afraid that others would not see them.

The second-ranked person is F, with 99 points; the third-ranked person is "Han Fei", also with 99 points.

"Why is your name on the list too?" Rose asked softly. Li Guo'er and Yan Le's mother next to her were also a little confused. Han Fei didn't even have an invitation, but all the points he earned from killing were clearly attributed to Li Guo'er.

"When I looked at the list before, your name wasn't on it yet. Could someone have impersonated you?" Rose frowned. "But only the players know your name. Could there be someone else hidden among the players besides F?"

"There's more than one person in this world named Han Fei." Han Fei looked at the rankings and laughed wildly. In a sense, he was another Han Fei, because they shared the same name.

As soon as the group slowed down, some tourists around them began to notice them. All the monsters and demons in the city had gathered in the amusement park, and if they became the center of attention, they would die a terrible death.

"Are you new here?" A hoarse voice came from the clothing store, and a man wearing an ill-fitting amusement park uniform walked out. He was handsome and tall, and the uniform clung tightly to his body. "Don't be nervous. I'm an employee of the amusement park. If you need to rent clothes, you can ask me."

"Wipe the blood off your clothes before you come over." Rose and Ah Chong both put their hands in their pockets, ready to draw their weapons at any moment.

"Ah... how did you all figure out right away that I killed the shop assistant?" The handsome man revealed an extremely sunny smile: "Actually, I was also a participant in the game, but it was too difficult for me to accumulate 100 points, so I entered the park early, wanting to ambush the leaderboard and see if I could kill all the other participants."

The man is cheerful and handsome, and speaks frankly. If you didn't listen to what he said, you would probably think he was a witty and humorous person.

“Take one more step forward, and your head and body will separate.” Han Fei didn’t waste any words; he didn’t want to attract too much attention and wanted to keep a low profile.

"Don't do that. I've been lying in wait here for a long time and know everything that's happened in the park. If you can let me join your team, I'd be happy to share everything I know with you." Before Han Fei could agree, the man continued, "As you can see, this park is completely destroyed. All the park managers have disappeared, and almost all the staff have been killed. But what's surprising is that even without the staff controlling it, the park can still operate normally. Isn't that amazing?"

He slowly took a step forward, closing the distance between himself and Han Fei: "Do you think these madmen, driven by slaughter, are terrifying? Compared to the amusement park, they're just naughty children. I've been here for a long time and have witnessed those amusement rides grow into monsters and killing machines step by step, nourished by blood. Look at that carousel; once a passenger gets on, they're strapped to the horse's back. They have to dodge the rapidly spinning blades overhead and under their feet, avoid the randomly killing traps, and the evil spirits disguised as passengers. Only by persevering to the end can they obtain a clue."

"Clue? What clue?"

"Regarding the clue about a box, everyone in the park is looking for a black box." The handsome man spread his hands: "Don't you really know anything? On the night the park manager disappeared, maniacal laughter echoed throughout the park, and the park's broadcasts played the same message all night long—the core of the park is a black box, all the changes in the park are driven by that black box, so the first person to find the black box will become the new master of the park."

"You yourself said that the broadcast happened on the night the administrator disappeared, which means that the broadcast was probably not broadcast by the administrator." Ah Chong thought the handsome man's reasoning was ridiculous.

"Whether it was the administrator who played it or not is no longer important. What matters is that everyone thinks so." The man spread his arms, enjoying the chaos and noise: "Did you hear the roars of those madmen? Even if the park's administrator showed up now, everyone would tear him to pieces. Everyone has gone mad. The whole city is in chaos, and more and more madmen will flock to this park until it's overflowing this meat grinder!"

“He’s right. The truth isn’t always important; what matters is getting everyone to believe it. As long as everyone believes it, then a lie becomes the truth.” Rose’s expression was somewhat grim. She looked at Han Fei, her eyes asking him how to deal with this man.

"Yes! That's exactly right!" The handsome man's voice grew louder and louder, and his frenzied appearance attracted a lot of attention, with more and more tourists gathering towards Han Fei.

"Quiet." Han Fei reached out and grabbed the handsome man's neck. He was good at dealing with perverts. The more you paid attention to this kind of person, the more excited he became. So the best way was to make him unable to speak. "Let's enter the maze first."

As Han Fei locked the man's neck and was about to move forward, a rumbling sound suddenly came from afar, and the ground trembled.

Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came. The Ferris wheel in the center of the park was gradually slowing down, and the tourists trapped in the aerial tramway seemed to be enduring unimaginable pain, constantly banging their heads against the glass.

"Look! Black fire!"

Several cracks appeared beneath the Ferris wheel, exposing thick blood vessels. Even more bizarrely, an inextinguishable black flame burned on the flesh buried underground, emanating an aura that surpassed even hatred!
When Han Fei saw this scene from afar, the scene he had seen in the underground of the Death Building immediately came to mind. The black cocoon that Meng shed was like a continuous black mountain range. It was indescribable that when it completed its final transformation, it seemed to leave something behind.

"That's the secret beneath the amusement park!"

Upon closer inspection, the underground blood vessels were still pulsating slightly, as if it had not yet completely died.

"Could Fu Sheng have imprisoned a severely injured, unspeakable being in his own shrine? Of course, it's also possible that he put his molted body into the shrine."

The difference between hatred and intense resentment is not too great, but the difference between unspeakable hatred and hatred has reached an absurd level. Just by standing in the amusement park, Han Fei could feel Xu Qin's pain and unease.

"It's time to hurry up."

Black flames erupted from the giant underground corpse and spread along the base of the Ferris wheel, scorching the high-altitude observation vehicles. Many tourists jumped from the height in utter despair.

Compared to the small number of tourists who stayed behind, those who left the Ferris wheel were relatively lucky; at least their deaths were not painful.

Those tourists who didn't manage to escape the Ferris wheel were melted into the black flames, their bodies and souls becoming part of the Ferris wheel itself. The black flames rising from the ground were reshaping the park with the lives and souls of the tourists. The Ferris wheel was soaked in blood, its supports reduced to bones, and the entire Ferris wheel transformed into a giant eyeball, slowly opening between the city's ground and the night sky!

Someone was whispering, but no one could hear clearly, as if the content was unspeakable and that speaking it would bring great disaster.

"What kind of monster is that? I thought my sisters-in-law were scary enough, but I never expected there to be a monster even more terrifying than them!" Xiao Jia was stunned and blurted out his thoughts in front of Han Fei without thinking.

"It seems the park's management is indeed in trouble, otherwise they wouldn't have let this thing emerge from underground." Han Fei didn't see Kuang Xiao, nor did he see the park's management. He was now increasingly curious about what his final deal with Kuang Xiao was, and why Kuang Xiao insisted on taking some of his memories with him when he escaped.

"I'm currently in stage nine, just one stage away from recovering my memories. I need to find the Laughing Maniac as soon as possible." While all the tourists were attracted by the Ferris wheel, Han Fei waved to the players. They quietly split into two groups: one group went directly into the amusement park maze, while the other group went around to the "Dream" children's castle.

The two sides kept in touch through Xiaoyou and her mother's mobile phones, keeping a close eye on the various changes happening in the park.

"The address on the invitation should be for one room, but there are many rooms in this maze, and each room has different doors that connect to different places." Yan Le's mother really wanted to see the invitation, but Li Guo'er wouldn't let anyone see it except Han Fei. She could only keep proving her worth, hoping that Han Fei and Li Guo'er would believe her.

"Are you sure this place can be called a maze?" Ah Chong's eyes widened as he looked at the layers of buildings leading underground. Behind each door seemed to be an independent memory space. Rather than calling this a maze, it was more like a person's brain, with each scene being a fragment of memory that he could not forget.

“The shrine world is formed based on Fu Sheng’s memories. We are now walking inside his mind. We need to find the most crucial secret in the scenes he experienced.” Han Fei didn’t finish his sentence. The black box that changed Fu Sheng’s fate should be deep in the labyrinth.

Fu Sheng believes that the black box has the power to change everything, so in his world of shrine memories, the park manager, the maniac, and F will all be vying for it.

"Judging by the time, Fu Sheng has possessed the black box for over fifty years and was chosen as the successor by the five park managers. He must know a lot of things."

Following the instructions on the invitation, Han Fei and Li Guo'er pushed open the first door, behind which was a very ordinary classroom with two doors on the other side.

A schoolbag was hanging at the front door, and a human head was hanging at the back door.

"The route map on the invitation points to the backdoor. Is the selection criterion based on terror?" Li Guo'er couldn't figure out the pattern.

"No, what we're leaving behind seems to be the choice made by the shrine's original owner." Han Fei had accompanied Fu Sheng during his high school years. The backpack at the front door represented Fu Sheng's intelligence, studiousness, and love of reading, while the head at the back door represented Fu Sheng's experience of being bullied, isolated, and ultimately driven to extremes.

"This is his life's labyrinth. Only by not changing any of the options can he reach the deepest despair and see that black box?"

Han Fei wanted to observe the surroundings again, but Xiao You's mother's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from players outside the maze. They said that someone was deliberately guiding the tourists, driving a large number of crazy tourists to rush towards the maze!

"Is F behind this? Or did Maniac Laughter notice me?"

Reaching out to take the backpack from the front door, Han Fei stuffed the head from the back door into the backpack, and then together with everyone else, pushed open the back door of the classroom.

The back door leads to a bar, where a staff member stands like a puppet. He is wearing a suit and is hugging a doll on the sofa, making intimate gestures.

The bar's door is next to the staff, but the directions shown on the invitation are through the bar's glass windows.

Fu Sheng seemed to have witnessed his father drinking outside more than once. Entering and exiting through the door seemed to represent facing and confronting the situation directly, while leaving through the window might represent disappointment and giving up.

"Let's go."

I jumped out of the window; the window led to a living room.

Upon seeing the living room furniture, Han Fei paused slightly. This was Fu Sheng's former home, where he had spent an unforgettable period of time.

“There are three doors in the living room, leading to the parents’ bedroom, the children’s bedroom, and the kitchen…” Li Guo’er was holding the invitation and looking for the right way, while Han Fei walked to the center of the living room. He approached his parents’ bedroom step by step and stared at the door of that bedroom.

"Your wife has been here?"

Someone had carved a line of words on the bottom of the door with a knife: "I will help you find yourself. This maze not only hides him, but also you."
