My Healing Games

Chapter 862 The Actor's Fate

"How could someone as hospitable as me turn you away?"

Two large vengeful spirits crashed into the high-rise building in the buffer zone, instantly triggering a piercing alarm. To prevent the ghosts from going out of control, numerous sentry posts were set up here.

"I was so lucky to meet the tour guide when I was just wondering where I was going."

Han Fei was not flustered at all. As long as he could control those people before other reinforcements arrived, no one would know that he had been there.

The little girl in the red dress wanted to leave, but she couldn't break free from Han Fei's grasp. In the past, she was the one who pestered others, driving them crazy step by step. Now, for the first time, she had the thought of escaping.

"Stop resisting, and I'll consider sparing your lives." Han Fei sensed the other party's malice and targeting, but out of goodwill, he still shouted.

Words spoken from the heart take on a different meaning when they reach the ears of others; his words don't sound like something a member of the Investigation Bureau would say.

The alarm sounded a few times and then stopped. The group turned it off, as they also wanted to capture Han Fei alive. The Investigation Bureau wouldn't appear in Hope New City for no reason; Han Fei's arrival was very likely related to Ugly Brother's disappearance. If they could capture Han Fei ahead of time, they could gain the upper hand and continue to conceal the information.

"What kind of guard would voluntarily turn off the alarm? Are they trying to double-cross us?" Number Five got into the driver's seat: "Teacher Gao, I'll drive the car outside the buffer zone first to prevent being tracked down. I'll come back to find you later."

After agreeing on a meeting place, all the children except for Number One left together with Number Five.

"Why aren't you with them? Don't you trust me?" Han Fei looked at Number One walking towards him.

"Later, you will use your resentment to move in the opposite direction from us to distract the people who are following us. I will handle the others." Number One gave people a very reliable feeling, as if he could do whatever he asked. Han Fei couldn't figure out Number One's strength, only that the other party had a miracle personality.

Two large streams of resentment led the way, providing cover for Number One's approach. As the murderers activated their personalities and began to fight the resentment in coordination, Number One entered the experimental building.

A faint light flashed by, but no screams were heard, and then everything fell silent again.

A few minutes later, the rusty iron gate was pushed open, and Number One dragged out a man whose body was covered with organ specimens. What made Han Fei feel terrified was that the other killers didn't even leave behind any bodies.

"We're going to find Number Two. You use the ghost to distract their pursuers, make as much noise as possible, and we need to frame the ghost for this attack."

"I'm familiar with this."

Two streams of resentment erupted in the buffer zone, and the alarm sounded again. The direction in which the resentment left was exactly the opposite of Number One.

The tranquility of the night was shattered as glaring red lights flashed incessantly, alarms blared, and the massive city defense system was activated. However, by the time the patrol personnel arrived, the two large vengeful spirits had vanished without a trace, as if they had appeared out of thin air and disappeared just as suddenly.

After hiding the Investigation Bureau's car, Han Fei met up with the children and they pried open the mouth of the specimen killer.

The man's name was A-Fu. He was a taxidermist and a criminal in the Ghost Card case. He was also very familiar with many wanted criminals in New Town because of their "shared interests".

Han Fei also gleaned some very bad news from him: the criminals on the ghost cards possessed privileges bestowed by the gods. They had gathered a large group of thugs dissatisfied with the status quo and formed a night patrol guard in the buffer zone. These thugs, unrelated to the ghost card cases, fought on the front lines against the ghosts, thus winning the approval of the city's inhabitants. After several expansions, the guard's numbers had surpassed those of the new city's law enforcement team, becoming a force to be reckoned with in the buffer zone.

Worse still, some criminals have infiltrated the management and become "big shots" with free access to the core urban area, making it extremely difficult to eradicate them completely.

During the subsequent questioning, Han Fei also learned who Xiao Hong's owner was. Unfortunately, the owner sensed Han Fei's fear through the little girl in red and fled before the fight even started.

Aside from this information, the only thing that surprised Han Fei was that he learned Kong Tiancheng's whereabouts from the other party.

Those murderers were overjoyed to see the Bureau of Investigation's vehicle, little did they know that the "Grim Reaper" with almost perfect luck was sitting inside. When it comes to luck, Han Fei has never lost.

"After the doctor escapes, he will definitely go to find Kong Tiancheng. Let's go into the city now and find that ghost before he does."

Number Two lay on Number Five's back, his hands fiddling with something invisible, the ripples of fate spreading little by little.

All the coincidences and accidents seem to be woven by Number Two. His abilities are related to fate, and he seems to be accumulating these small coincidences to eventually shake the future.

“Let’s take the path of their night patrol guards and let this psychopathic killer lead us into the city.” Number Two stared at A-Fu on the ground: “Get up. Number One used a heavy hand, so you can’t survive. So stop pretending to be dead.”

"No matter what you did before, how many people you killed, or how many bad things you did, if you don't behave later, I'll throw you in here." Han Fei shoved Afu's head into the abyss of greed, letting him see that hell on earth.

It's hard to imagine how twisted a person must be to have such a scene in their mind. Ah Fu's legs went weak as he stared at the seemingly endless black water of despair. Perhaps this is what extreme evil is all about.

"I... will cooperate with you."

Ah Fu's face was deathly pale, as if she had just walked through the gates of hell.

"Your acting is so fake. Come on, relax, take a deep breath, and get yourself together." Han Fei patted his shoulder: "Remember, we were all saved by you. Everyone else went after those two giant vengeful spirits."

From acting training to script instruction, Han Fei gave Afu a thorough training session on the way. By the time they approached the outer city, Afu had almost fully recovered.

Among the law enforcement team were criminals involved in the Ghost Card case. With Ah Fu's guarantee, they successfully passed through two checkpoints and officially entered Hope New City.

Although it was only the outer city, Han Fei felt almost like he was back in reality, as if he had returned to the city before the great disaster.

“I hope that 80% of the people in the new city live in the outer city. It looks very prosperous on the surface, but it is actually quite chaotic inside. Once people settle down, they will have all sorts of bad ideas because of greed.” Afu led Han Fei and the others into the dark alley. When they came out, everyone had changed into brand new clothes, and Afu also got two temporary access passes to enter the inner city.

"There are only two. You wouldn't be trying to separate us and then use these children to blackmail me, would you?" Han Fei slashed Afu's wrist and stuffed the paper doll fragments inside. "When you have bad thoughts, the paper doll will tear your blood vessels and grow out of your heart."

Ah Fu's face twitched; the man in front of her was far more perverted than she was.

"I can only get two passes for you with all my savings. Also, the inner city is much stricter than the outer city. Even if you have a temporary pass, you might still be stopped if you're unlucky."

Walking through the alleyways, the closer you get to the inner city, the smaller the impact of the disaster becomes, and the environment is much better.

"Aren't they afraid of ghosts invading? Although the buffer zone can play a certain role, with so many people gathered together, negative emotions will inevitably breed some evil things." Han Fei was a little confused. He hoped that the protective measures of the new city were no match for the Bureau of Calamity Investigation, but the city was able to function normally.

“I’ve had the same confusion as you. I feel like the ghosts deliberately left this city untouched.” Number Five, carrying Number Two on his back, followed closely behind Han Fei. “If we have the chance to enter the core area, all our questions should be answered.”

With Ah Fu as the mole, Han Fei and his team bypassed surveillance and night patrols. In addition, most of the equipment was designed to prevent ghosts, so they successfully approached the inner city without encountering any obstacles.

"The person possessed by Kong Tiancheng is in the inner city hospital. He is a patient with severe mental pollution. It is said that he is a friend of the director of the Calamity Investigation Bureau. The director left him in Hope New City in order to allow him to receive treatment from Deep Space Technology."

Han Fei, carrying Number Two, impersonated a father anxious to get his child treated. With his impeccable acting skills and a temporary pass, he successfully entered the inner city and arrived at a hospital specifically for people with special personalities.

Unlike other buildings, this hospital is always brightly lit with no blind spots. The building is pure white, and each ward is equipped with thick curtains, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

"That person was originally in the special care ward, but his ward was later replaced by a relative of another important person. Now he is in the mixed ward in Zone C."

Ah Fu was very familiar with a doctor at the hospital, who was also a deeply hidden pervert: "You only have ten minutes. Once the time is up, you must leave the ward immediately."

Walking down the pure white corridor, Han Fei listened to the various sounds coming from the wards. The hospital's methods of treating and saving lives seemed somewhat crude, and many patients were crying out in pain.

The odor in the air gradually became more noticeable. Han Fei carried Number Two into the room at the far end of the corridor. They walked between the beds and arrived at the key case observation room in the mixed ward.

Ah Fu and the doctor closed the door to the observation room and quietly drew the curtains.

Han Fei walked towards the hospital bed. He was also very curious about who the key figure Ah Fu had mentioned was.

Slowly lifting the blankets, Han Fei paused for a moment after seeing the patient's face.

Even if a patient lying in a hospital bed is emaciated and in an extremely unstable mental state, he can recognize the person at a glance, because this patient is one of his few close friends.

"Bai Xian?"

In this worst-case scenario, Bai Xian survived and became a pivotal figure in fate.

Previously, Lao Bai was just a very good actor. He only came into contact with the Deep World after meeting Han Fei. The biggest thing he did was to impersonate Han Fei in the Deep World and deceive all the players in the Shallow World.

"I never expected him to still be alive." Although he was in the world of the shrine's memories, Han Fei was still very happy, but what Number Two said next poured cold water on him.

Just because they can survive in the worst-case scenario doesn't mean they can survive in the future you expect.

"What do you mean?" Han Fei had a feeling that Number Two was implying something.

"If you understand fate deeply enough, you'll know that when a person gains something, they are destined to lose something else." Number Two stopped explaining: "There's no time. Use your personal power immediately and see if you can force out the ghost hiding in him."

"Explain yourself clearly. If this worst-case scenario is changed, will everyone who has ever appeared in this shrine's memory world die?" Han Fei's voice was somewhat frightening at this moment.

"If that's the case, would you just give up resisting?" Number Two smiled. "Life is a performance you can't quit. Even if you get the script in advance and know all the possible endings, you still have to grit your teeth and keep acting, right? After all, that's the fate of an actor."
