My Healing Games

Chapter 777 Provocation
“You don’t need to make the trip yourself at all. Our analysts have a 0.01% error rate. She’s definitely not the person you’re looking for.” The young man finished counting the cash and was very satisfied: “This transaction was very pleasant. If you have similar jobs in the future, you can come to me. I’ll give you a 20% discount.”

The young man zipped up the package, hoisted it onto his back, and was about to leave when he suddenly felt his legs go weak and he couldn't muster any strength.

"What happened?" A look of fear flashed across the young man's face, his joy instantly vanishing: "What did you do to me!"

"It's nothing, just to make the deal more pleasant." Guinea Pig put away the report. "Do you know why those cocoon hackers don't dare to come and trade with us in person?"

He calmly took a syringe from his pocket, walked slowly to the young man's side, and lifted the man's face: "Real poker players don't get involved easily; they're afraid of becoming part of the deal themselves."

The needle was inserted into the guinea pig's neck, and the "experiment" began.

An hour later, the guinea pig came out of the room, and the doors of all the other rooms in the old building opened, with masked people standing in the doorways.

"The singing competition held by Deep Space Technology is about to enter the qualifying rounds. To prevent anyone from using high-tech equipment to assist them, the final selected singers will have to go through a second offline selection process. We're going to the main venue in Xinhu tonight, and we should be able to meet Sunny Boy there."

“Guinea Pig, I heard that all the contestants in the singing competition have covered their faces, and the smart city is heavily monitored, so it might not be easy to make a move!” said a man wearing a raccoon mask.

"Just confirm his identity, and don't get into a conflict with him unless absolutely necessary." The guinea pig glanced at the people around him: "Do you have any other questions?"

“Sunshine Boy is a core member of the Death Spreading Chat group, after all. Will targeting him like this anger Crow? That madman is already looking for excuses to kill people everywhere.” Tanuki was a little worried.

"You're afraid of crows, but aren't you afraid of me?" The guinea pig's tone changed, and everyone around him dared not speak again: "I'm not trying to scare you, but that sunny boy is a real monster. If he loses control, he might be more brutal than me and the crows combined."

"Understood, we will be there on time."

"I have already informed the Grim Reaper about Sunshine Boy, and she will arrange for you to enter the venue."

……

After saying goodbye to Li Huang, Han Fei left with his phone.

The online virtual selection ended at noon, and the offline selection began at 8 pm. Han Fei was preparing to take over from Cai Bao and become a real sunny boy again.

Upon arriving at Liuli Cat's house, Han Fei inquired about Cai Bao's situation again. Only after confirming that she had not been implicated did he feel relieved and quickly asked Li Xue to look after her temporarily.

“That group of psychopathic killers are based in the suburbs and are used to operating late at night. If they dare to make a move against me, they will definitely risk going to Smart New City.” Han Fei had already planned it out: “Smart New City, which is covered by surveillance, is the police’s home turf. If they make a move, they will definitely give themselves away.”

The concert jointly held by Deep Space Technology and Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals is the largest music event in recent years. The qualifying rounds last for several days until the most moving voice in the world is finally selected.

Han Fei believed that the other party would definitely make a move on a certain day of the song festival, and he wanted to drag out all these rats hiding in the dark corners.

"The unspeakable existence is terrifying. Since that's the case, let's start with its subordinates, kill all those bastards who act as its henchmen, and then deal with it."

To ensure the devil and cat duo could go all the way, Han Fei, for the first time ever, started practicing with the glass cat.

Their singing can't just be described as touching; it's more like a blow to the soul. Moreover, the two have an amazing chemistry, a partnership honed through life and death that far surpasses that of other singing groups.

Around 5 p.m., Han Fei and Liuli Cat set off.

They had arrived well in advance, but they didn't expect that when they got there, the main venue was already surrounded by people.

Ordinary participants followed the guidance of the Deep Space Technology service robot to enter the preparation room in the side hall of the venue through passages six and seven. Popular celebrity contestants were picked up and dropped off by private cars. Throughout the entire process, they had no contact with the outside world.

"So many advertisements and sponsorships, so many big names, and this is only the first day of the qualifying rounds." Han Fei looked at the spectacle, which was comparable to a film festival, and couldn't help but sigh: "Perhaps the two tech giants want to use such a grand event to change their image and divert public attention to some extent."

Wearing uniform competition outfits prepared by the service robots and donning masks, Han Fei and Liuli Cat entered through the amateur entrance.

Deep Space Technology, perhaps to showcase its technology to the public, deployed entirely robotic staff within the venue, controlled by the intelligent brain of a smart city. It seems to be trying to convey to the public that this was an absolutely fair competition, free from human interference.

Will we run into Ye Xuan here?

"The chances of meeting her on the first day are slim, but as long as we keep advancing, we'll run into her sooner or later. I'm a little excited just thinking about it. She's the idol of many young singers in Shanghai." Liuli Cat smiled and followed Han Fei like a kitten.

“You admire her work, but you don’t know that it is actually the work of another person.” Han Fei didn’t explain further, and closed his eyes to rest in the contestant’s room: “Don’t contact Cai Bao recently, downplay her presence.”

The auditions for the singing competition were held in the shallow world of "Perfect Life". Han Fei had tried to log into the normal "Perfect Life" game a long time ago, but encountered problems during the login process, and he had not tried again since then.

In order to participate in the grand ceremony, it was only out of necessity that Cai Bao was used as a substitute to wear his costume.

At 8 p.m., the grand song festival officially began, kicking off a carnival for the smart new city.

The offline audience was packed with people, and various media outlets were present, all speculating about the real identities of the popular singers; online, it attracted widespread attention across the entire internet, with each participant having their own fans and supporters, and the contestants' scores and popularity constantly changing.

Liuli Cat looked at the monitor in the room, appearing somewhat excited; this was the stage of her dreams.
"Don't think too much tonight, just enjoy the stage." Han Fei was a man who had experienced big events. No matter how many audience members there were or how big the stage was, he was always only thinking about catching people. Everything he did was for the purpose of investigating the unspeakable.

One by one, the contestants took to the stage under the guidance of the service robots. The contestants were all very strong, so it's no wonder that Liuli Cat was unsure of herself.

Around nine o'clock, the door to Han Fei's room was opened, and it was their turn to go on stage.

Liuli Cat took a deep breath to calm her excited emotions, while Han Fei strode outside, afraid of being late to get home and play games.

"Please put on all your equipment and follow me." The service robot gave a gentle prompt. Together they walked through a long corridor and took the elevator up: "Contestants, please get ready. The elevator doors will stop behind the stage curtain. You have ten seconds to prepare."

The numbers on the display screen kept changing. After checking the equipment worn by Han Fei and Liuli Cat, the service robot quietly retreated to the corner of the elevator.

As the number changed to three, the silver-white elevator doors opened to both sides, and Han Fei and Liuli Cat stepped out of the elevator.

A huge black curtain slowly rose, and spotlights fell on the two people.

This was the first time Liuli Cat had performed on a real stage. The slightly dazzling lights made her dizzy, and the waves of cheers made her feel somewhat disoriented.

"Don't be nervous, your dream is slowly coming true, and you are growing into the person you most want to be." Han Fei gently helped Liuli Cat up: "If you really can't calm down, just hide behind me."

The curtain rose completely, and the glass cat timidly hid behind Han Fei. Even though she was wearing a mask and the same clothes, she looked like a kitten that had just found its owner.

The audience at the scene were fine, but the online viewers who were watching the live stream were instantly flooded with comments.

"Kitty, it's Kitty, I really want to bully her."

"The hatred of having my wife stolen!"

"Isn't this the mute singer who was dragged into the qualifying round by the Glass Cat?"

"What are you saying? His name is Sand Hammer Boy."

Even before the song was performed, there was already a lot of controversy online. Many people felt that Han Fei was just a slacker who rushed into the qualifying rounds without saying a word, which was outrageous. Now everyone is waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

"Are you feeling better?" Han Fei turned his head and asked softly.

"kindness."

"Then let's get started."

The music composed by Liuli Mao himself began to play on the stage, and the sunny boy sang for the first time.

A unique voice sings a ballad from the deepest world, the light seems to be distorted little by little, and a demon from the deepest depths of despair opens its eyes.

Han Fei's throat had been kissed by hatred; every word he uttered was a curse.

That evil was as pure as the night, and even the stars bowed to it.

The audience below the stage was stunned, and netizens watching the live broadcast were dumbfounded. No one could have imagined that a man who only knew how to play with a maracas could sing such a song.

A chill was spreading, and the audience felt as if a black rose had been planted in their hearts, its thorny roots entwining their blood vessels and hearts—incredibly dangerous, yet incredibly beautiful.

In a VIP player preparation room, Ye Xuan looked at Han Fei and Liuli Cat on the projected screen and said with absolute certainty, "It's a change! This guy is the real sunshine boy, he's dangerous! Extremely dangerous!"

Seemingly realizing something suddenly, Ye Xuan quickly took out his phone: "You've got the wrong person! Stop immediately!"

She kept dialing a number, but no one answered. Many of those psychopathic killers were not registered in the citizen information database. Even after entering the smart city, they dared not use the communication devices they bought from the black market for fear of being tracked down by the police.

"Oops!"

On the grand stage, the devil is singing, and everyone is guessing who this singer is.

When the song ended, the audience was still immersed in the music, and it was only after a long time that thunderous applause broke out.

"Is this what a sunny boy is like?"

"Look at the trending topics! The fake sunny boy is all about working out, smiling, and being positive, while the real sunny boy is misunderstood by the world as a devil, yet he gives all his gentleness to a stray cat."

"It'll be hard to end this if we don't get married! Why do I suddenly feel a chill? Could it be that a beautiful woman is thinking of me?"

As the music ended, the lights shone on Han Fei, who scanned the audience as if deliberately provoking those deranged killers.

"I'm right here, do you dare come?"

The curtain slowly closed, and Han Fei helped the trembling Liuli Cat off the stage.

They were to return to their rooms accompanied by service robots and leave through a special passage so that the contestants' identities would not be revealed.

"Little Cat, someone might be watching us, so I'm leaving first. You wait for Jin Jun to come and pick you up." Han Fei had already arranged everything before he came.

"You should also pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry." Han Fei changed his clothes and left ahead of time.

The route from the players' lounge to the special passage to the venue was safe, and Han Fei did not encounter any suspicious people. However, as soon as he stepped out of the special passage, he felt the watchful eyes of others.

"They arrived right on time and know the venue like the back of their hand; these guys are quite capable." Han Fei, wearing a hat and dressed in a completely different style from his usual look, asked, "Where will they choose to make their move?"
