My Healing Games

Chapter 847 The Ghost King Parades Through the Streets, Walking with Sin

"What do you think he's thinking?" Squad leader number five looked at Han Fei in the quarantine area and gently touched number four's arm.

"He wanted to be a live-in son-in-law, and then he was rejected." Deathly intent flickered in Number Four's eyes: "I admit he's somewhat good-looking, but good looks can't put food on the table."

"I don't know for a moment whether you're praising him or jealous of him." Number Five knows that Number Four has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so he enjoys chatting with Number Four. Debating with a stubborn person can kill time.

"What is there for me to be jealous of?" Number Four looked at Han Fei, then at Number One who was helping the school survivors: "I just find it strange that accepting someone usually takes a long time, but he made me let my guard down and willing to trust him."

"Number Four, I never imagined that someone with self-destructive tendencies like you would have such a soft heart, like a proud little kitten."

"Get lost, or I'll kill you!"

"You look even more like it when you're angry."

The students were playing and making noise, but they relaxed after entering the safe zone.

Inside the quarantine site, Han Fei silently watched the students of Class 7: "If none of this had happened, they would probably have grown up happily and healthily like other children."

As night deepened, Han Fei finally slept soundly for the first time since entering the shrine of happy memories.

The healing starlight in his mind silently cleansed away mental pollution, and Han Fei was quietly getting stronger even while he was sleeping.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was still pitch black in the city after the disaster, with not a ray of sunshine in sight. However, the investigators were already in place, preparing for the second escort.

"We hope the new city will be built on the edge of the old city, far from here. Everyone must follow instructions on the road and not act alone."

As a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon, the survivors who had chosen to leave packed their bags and followed the Bureau of Investigation's vehicles away.

The area surrounding the base became empty again, and the Bureau of Investigation brought the survivors and students who were willing to stay into the base. They were noticeably more enthusiastic towards everyone.

"Teacher Gao, this way please." Zhao Ming led the team to dismantle the isolation barriers: "After discussing it overnight, we've decided to help you teachers rebuild the school."

"The Investigation Bureau is going to build a school?"

“Yes, the children you train are far superior to those trained at our base in terms of psychological resilience, combat skills, and the probability of them developing special personalities. Therefore, we hope you can continue to teach.” Zhao Ming opened a simple map: “This white building to the north of the base is assigned to you separately. Also, there is something else I want to inform you.”

"Tell me, anything I can do is fine."

“This should be considered a cooperation and a win-win situation.” Zhao Ming took out another booklet: “Yesterday, the director led you to visit the Evidence Section. There, a large number of cursed items are stored, as well as a lot of ghost blood and various things obtained from resentment. These things are very precious. Each one was obtained at a great cost by the bureau. Normally, we would use them for various research on ghosts and monsters, but considering your special situation, the bureau has opened a special exchange channel for you.”

"Can I take whatever I want from the Investigation Bureau's warehouse?" Han Fei was somewhat tempted. He hadn't expected that he would be able to "eat and drink without worry" in less than a week after entering the Memory Shrine.

“Every time you accompany us on an investigation mission, you will receive contribution points. The monsters you kill during the investigation are yours to keep, and the contribution points you earn can be exchanged for various items in the warehouse.” After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he took out the last item, a black circular watch: “This is the communication device for the Calamity Investigation Squadron. The director has appointed you as the leader of the Calamity Investigation Squadron, Group Thirteen! You will also serve as a special instructor for the Calamity Investigation Bureau.”

"The leader of Group Thirteen?" Han Fei took the black ring. It looked somewhat familiar to him, and the words "Deep Space" were engraved on it.

“For now, you’re the only one in Group Thirteen, but with so many ghost friends, you should be able to carry a combat team.” Zhao Ming paused for a moment, then added, “Don’t worry, the investigation team didn’t arrange it this way because no one else wanted to be in a group with you. Everyone just has plenty of confidence in you.”

"I think so too."

“Alright, next I’ll take you to do the final personality test. After that, you will officially become a member of the Calamity Investigation Bureau.” Zhao Ming gestured for Han Fei to get in the car, and they arrived at the Green Botanical Garden, which was not far from the Calamity Investigation Bureau.

“After a major disaster, if a person is subjected to strong stimulation or their obsession reaches a certain point, there is a chance that their personality will awaken. As their spirit, mental strength, and obsession increase, their personality will also continue to strengthen, and they may even awaken again.” Zhao Ming and Han Fei entered the botanical garden and stopped next to a huge pit: “The Green Botanical Garden used to be a red building. The investigator at the time perished together with the ghost, merging into a special resentment. It can sense the strength of people’s obsessions and judge the level of their personality.”

"Can flowers also judge personality?" Han Fei had just finished speaking when he heard a rustling sound. He looked down and saw that the blood-red roots were crawling upwards like giant pythons, and a huge flower of the soul was blooming at the bottom of the pit.

The resentful flower did not attack Han Fei and Zhao Ming; it seemed to be eavesdropping on their conversation, like a child.

Zhao Ming walked to the edge of the pit, bowed to the rotting corpse entwined in the center of the root, and then gestured for Han Fei to grab the petals and use his personal power.

Han Fei, who possesses the ability to understand the language of flowers, gently picked up a corner of a petal and released the black mist from the abyss of greed.

The Flower of Resentment and the Demon in the Abyss of Greed seemed to sense each other's presence. The enormous petals began to tremble, and as if blood was being injected into the veins of the leaves, the entire plant, from root to flower, gradually turned red.

Zhao Ming was taking notes, then pulled out the information provided by the bureau and began comparing it: "After the first awakening of the Greedy Personality, one can feed on ghosts; after the second awakening, the mind transforms into an abyss of greed, allowing one to have three different ghost friends; after the third awakening, the number of ghosts increases to six; after the fourth awakening, the limit increases to nine, and the Resentment Flower turns blood red..."

A special personality that has awakened four times is extremely rare, but Zhao Ming discovered that the color of the flower of resentment was deepening!
"Five awakenings?" Zhao Ming was somewhat confused: "Is it so easy for a greedy personality to awaken? Why did the researchers conclude that four awakenings are the limit for a greedy personality? Continuing to awaken will lead to personality fragmentation, severe mental pollution, and ultimately, the self-awareness will be swallowed by the abyss, resulting in an extremely tragic death?"

The petals eventually turned deep red. Han Fei curiously stroked the flower. It gave him neither the chill of a ghost nor the warmth of a living person. It was like a newborn soul, ignorant of everything.

"This seems to be something new born from the great disaster." Han Fei possesses both a greedy personality and a healing personality. While devouring ghosts and monsters, he can also heal himself. Let alone the fifth awakening, he is even eager to try devouring a real hatred.

As the test for his greedy personality was about to end, Han Fei had a sudden inspiration and shone a bit of healing starlight from his mind onto the flower petals.

Han Fei wanted to see the grade of the healing personality, but who knew that when the starlight shone on the Flower of Resentment, his talent for flower language was triggered. He wanted to hear the voice of the Flower of Resentment clearly, and subconsciously used the secret of touching the depths of the soul.

As the bridge was built, the healing light attracted the full attention of the Flower of Resentment. The roots that had been wrapped around the rotting corpse slowly loosened, and the enormous Flower of Resentment bloomed towards Han Fei. Countless roots were absorbed into the black mist of greed, and it even tried to climb out of the deep pit in pursuit of the gentle starlight.

Han Fei hadn't expected the healing personality to be so popular. He immediately began to withdraw the black mist of greed, but who could have imagined that the flower of resentment would merge into the black mist along the bridge Han Fei had built, heading straight for the abyss of greed in Han Fei's mind!

The boundless black mist slowly dissipated, and Han Fei sensed the flower of resentment blooming in the abyss of greed. He stared blankly at the hollowed-out pit, where only fallen leaves and a lonely, rotting corpse remained.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Ming saw Han Fei stop using his personality and walked over with the completed form: "With your greedy personality awakened five times, the bureau's rating for you will definitely rise again."

"That's good." Han Fei said somewhat absentmindedly, "Do you think there's a possibility that if I accidentally took the testing equipment, the bureau would punish me?"

“How can mere instruments compare to people? Every official member of the Investigation Bureau is priceless.” Zhao Ming said with a smile, feeling that Han Fei was making a mountain out of a molehill.

"That's good." Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and quickly returned to the car, fastening his seatbelt.

"But speaking of which, today's test didn't use any equipment." Zhao Ming put away the data and glanced at the deep pit. He felt like something was missing.
Rubbing his eyes, Zhao Ming took another uncertain look.

"Fuck!"

Kneeling on the edge of the deep pit, Zhao Ming gripped the mud with both hands and desperately looked down: "Where are the flowers?!"

Silently turning his head to look at the city in the distance, Han Fei heard the system notification sound.

"Attention player number 0000! You have obtained a special large-scale resentment—the Flower of Rebirth!"

"Flower of New Life (Large-scale Resentment): A flower born from the fusion of the deep world and reality. It has never existed before and is extremely rare and special. Its appearance is a coincidence, or perhaps a hint from fate."

Gao Xing claims to be the owner of the garden, and he cultivates the souls of the living as flowers. Now, flowers that combine souls and resentment have actually appeared in the city, which seems to be some kind of omen.

“The Memory Shrine is controlled by Gao Xing.” Han Fei frowned in thought, ignoring Zhao Ming banging on the car window outside.

"Open the door! I wasn't watching for a second! And you managed to do something this big! Where's the flower?! That huge Flower of Resentment is gone!"

"I know you're anxious, but don't worry."

After Han Fei's constant persuasion, Zhao Ming finally calmed down. With a dark expression, he took Han Fei to the Calamity Investigation Bureau building.

The news was reported up the chain of command, and soon everyone knew that Han Fei had eaten the Flower of Resentment. This new colleague could be said to have quite an appetite.

In the end, it was Li Xue who stepped forward and offered to compensate the Investigation Bureau for its losses with 5,000 contribution points, and only then did everyone stop pursuing the matter.

Han Fei hasn't even started working yet, and he's already 5,000 contribution points in debt. But he's not worried at all. In the future, the Investigation Bureau will have to come to him to test for special personalities. He can start by testing for free, and once he's established himself, charging 500 contribution points per test isn't unreasonable, right? If they're not satisfied, they can also get a monthly card: recharge 1,000 and get 50 free, with double points on the first recharge.

After coordinating everyone, Li Xue summoned all the team leaders of the city investigation squadron to the conference room. After a night of research and analysis, they prepared to launch their investigation of the deep-sea aquarium today.

"The Haunted Building is more dangerous than the Black Building. We have two objectives this time: first, to find out as much as possible what the hatred in the Deep Sea Aquarium is; and second, to assist Gao Cheng in finding clues about Gao Xing." Li Xue sent the execution plan to everyone: "If there are no objections, let's prepare to set off."

"I have a small suggestion." Han Fei pointed to the third line of the execution plan: "Attracting the hatred of ghosts and monsters is the most dangerous job, and this job is handled by Group One and Group Two."

"They are the strongest and most experienced combat team in the investigation squadron, and they are fully capable of handling the task."

"How about we assign this most dangerous job to Group Thirteen, and I'll draw the ghosts' hatred away?" Li Xue had originally assigned Han Fei the task of providing support and coordination, with the other groups clearing the way while he was responsible for investigating and gathering information related to Gao Xing.

"Isn't Group Thirteen just you alone?"

“I can command ghosts and monsters, so this job is perfect for me.” Han Fei smiled and looked at everyone. “In addition, the bureau has provided each of your groups with equipment and special props. I would also like to ask the bureau for some things.”

Li Xue nodded: "Please feel free to speak."

"Are there any heinous death row inmates in the bureau? Cold-blooded killers who betray humanity and act as accomplices to evil?" Han Fei asked somewhat embarrassedly.

"What do you need those people for?"

"I have two prosthetic eyes here, which require a sacrifice to use." Han Fei placed the two bloody prosthetic eyes on the table, and the way his colleagues looked at him changed.
