My Healing Games

Chapter 888 Let his birthday and death anniversary fall on the same day.

The investigation squadron was the strongest squadron in the Calamity Investigation Bureau. When the other squadrons received the message from their old leader through the Black Ring, their expressions all changed.

The Level 1 combat readiness order is only used when the Bureau of Investigation faces a major crisis or goes to war with other large strongholds. Even the captains of ordinary squadrons do not have the authority to issue it. Apart from the Director, only the investigation squadrons that go out to explore the city and the adjudication squadrons that are responsible for the internal affairs of the Bureau of Investigation are qualified to issue it.

Moreover, after the order is issued, it still needs the approval of seven squadron leaders and the support of more than half of the senior management to take effect.

"Take the rest of Group 13 and come with me to the conference room." The old leader's gaze was solemn: "The Investigation Bureau hasn't cracked a new haunted building in five years. This is a major event for us, and we need the cooperation of all departments."

The Third Mental Hospital they visited before was just the Black Building, and they had already lost a lot of manpower. Now, not long after that, they are going to attack the Ghost Building. This decision is too risky, and even the old leader is not sure if it can be approved.

……

The doors to the Central Conference of the Bureau of Calamity Investigation were opened, and the squadron leaders took their seats, their expressions solemn, all staring at Han Fei, who stood next to the old leader.

Since Han Fei joined the Investigation Bureau, several meetings have been held just because of him.

"Gao Cheng, tell everyone your plan." The old leader gestured for Han Fei and the top student to come over, and the two of them told everyone about Li Xue's suggestion.

To devour unspeakable eyes and use the most intense hatred for one's own purposes—this was simply a fantasy, and all the attendees looked on with skepticism.

To persuade everyone, Han Fei opened the abyss of greed, manipulating the hatred imprisoned within.

The principal, the girl, the nightmare of fear, and the childlike innocence—the four expressions of hatred appeared in turn, truly opening the eyes of the leaders of the Investigation Bureau. They had only known that Han Fei deliberately imprisoned ghosts and monsters before, and never imagined that Han Fei could silently control four expressions of hatred!
Some were amazed by Han Fei's rapid growth, while others looked on with apprehension and began to worry.

"I have reached the limit of the amount of hatred I can control at the same time. If I want to go further, I must devour even stronger hatred and satisfy my even more greedy ambitions." After eating the white hair, Han Fei realized something: ordinary hatred could no longer enhance his greedy personality. Last night, when he fought with the people of Hope City, he also discovered that his limit was to control four kinds of hatred. If he released more hatred at the same time, he would be the first to be unable to withstand it.

If you want to change the current situation and release more hatred at the same time, the only way is to devour a ghost that transcends the level of ordinary hatred.

Han Fei could sense Gao Cheng's and his own ambition. His intuition told him that if he swallowed the eyes of the gods in the deep-sea aquarium, he should be able to awaken his greedy personality for the eighth time. At that time, he could unleash more hatred and truly stand at the pinnacle of calamity.

"The risk is too great. The Bureau of Calamity Investigation is humanity's last hope. How can we risk our last hope on something like this?" After a long silence, the logistics squadron captain shook his head. "No matter what reason you give, I will oppose it."

"Don't forget what the original purpose of the Investigation Bureau was? We need to find out the cause of the calamity and completely eliminate the ghosts!" The old leader unfolded the map and pointed to Area A: "The Calamity Investigation Bureau has been established for more than ten years, but it has not yet gained a foothold in Area C. We are still a long way from Area A, the source of the calamity, but now we have very little time left."

The old leader didn't agree to Han Fei's proposal on a whim; he held a high position and knew a great deal about the inside story.

After the conference room door was locked from the inside, a series of top-secret documents were placed on the table.

The Investigation Bureau was aware of the corruption in Hope City and the blood sacrifice on the god's birthday. They also summarized the pattern of hatred and the appearance of that god: "Whenever the god's birthday approaches, all hatred becomes active, no longer restrained, and indiscriminately kills survivors to prepare gifts for the god. Correspondingly, they also receive benefits from the god. Have you noticed that every year after the god's birthday, new hatred appears in the city? And the existing hatred is also strengthened to a certain extent?"

All hatred resides in the shrine's memory world, and as joy intensifies, the ghosts who believe in joy also grow stronger.

If it weren't for Han Fei's arrival, there would have been no hope in this worst-case scenario, and most people would have ended up as livestock to be raised by monsters.

"Over the past decade or so, the strength and numbers of ghosts and monsters have increased far faster than ours. They started trying to keep living people captive a long time ago. Perhaps in their eyes, we are no longer qualified to be their opponents." The old leader's words were both poignant and realistic.

"After extensive investigation, we can now confirm that the source of the calamity is in the basement of the Eternal Life Building in Area A. In other words, the first ghost came out from there." The old leader paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. "However, the Eternal Life Building is a forbidden building. No one who goes in has ever come out alive. Ever since the eight explorations three years ago, in which the personality awakener Qiming went missing in the Eternal Life Building, we have been like ostriches, always deliberately ignoring this problem."

"There are only a handful of people who have awakened their personalities eight times. Before we figure out what's inside the Eternal Life Building, blindly entering it would be suicide." The squad leader in charge of logistics was a steady person who didn't like taking risks.

“But if we don’t investigate, we’ll never see the truth! We’ll never end this disaster!” the old leader said resolutely.

“We understand what you’re saying, but knowing that going there is suicide, who are you sending?” The patrol team leader also spoke up. The situation has been getting increasingly chaotic lately, and everyone is getting a little irritable.

"I'll go." Han Fei raised his hand: "After swallowing the Deep Sea Aquarium, I will enter the Forbidden Building!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.

Han Fei was even more fanatical than the most radical war sympathizers, and with his rapid increase in strength, some people began to worry. However, as long as he was willing to go to the Forbidden Building, many of those worries became unnecessary. No one had ever entered that building and left alive. In the eyes of those in power, Han Fei had done his best to contribute to all the survivors.

“I still disagree.” The logistics squadron leader stood up: “You are the most promising young man and the greatest asset of the Investigation Bureau. Even if you really have to go, it will be us old guys who go in to pave the way for you.”

"Let's vote by raising hands." The old leader raised his hand: "We will launch a full-scale attack on the Ghost Tower to help Gao Cheng suppress the ultimate hatred in the aquarium. Starting from the moment he successfully imprisons the hatred, he will be allowed to enter the Forbidden Tower within a year to investigate the origin of the calamity!"

The old leader knew that time was of the essence, but still wanted to play it safe and buy Han Fei as much time as possible.

People gradually raised their hands in the meeting room, and soon more than half of the senior management agreed, but only five squadron leaders were willing to cooperate.

“I can’t make a decision right away.” The captain of the adjudication squad looked at Han Fei, a man with an extremely cold personality, as if he were born without any emotions: “I hope you can contact the director. If she agrees, the adjudication squad will give your full support.”

The company commander stood up and turned to leave.

"We definitely need to report this to the director." The old leader nodded. "All combat teams will be on standby within the Investigation Bureau's secure area tonight. Once we receive instructions from the director, we'll set off immediately tomorrow morning!"

After the meeting, the squadron leaders and managers hurriedly left. Hunting down a top-tier hatred was a major undertaking that required the full strength of the Investigation Bureau.

"This result is much better than I expected." The old leader pushed the documents on the table in front of Han Fei: "Tomorrow is your stage, don't make any mistakes."

"clear."

Han Fei memorized all the information in the document and led Group Thirteen out of the conference room.

"Gao Cheng, are we really going to hunt down the top-tier Hatred?" Dong Quan still felt a sense of unreality. He had heard from his friends about the Hatred in the Deep Sea Aquarium. That Hatred could use countless corpses and ghosts to form a giant ghost hundreds of meters tall, and its eyes contained an indescribable aura.

"Are you scared?" Han Fei walked past Dongquan: "Hunting it is just the first step in my plan."

What else are you planning to do?

"The squadron leader said he'd give me a year, but I can't wait that long." Han Fei's expression was very serious. "Maybe you've always thought I was impulsive, but I want to tell you something: we only have about ten days left to live, and everything must be done before the gods' birthday!"

Han Fei offered no further explanation and quickly left.

Back at their respective residences, everyone began making final preparations, and a tense atmosphere permeated the investigation bureau.

As night fell, around midnight, several squad leaders received a message from Director Li Xue.

From that moment on, the massive war machine that is the Bureau of Calamity Investigation began to operate at full speed!
……

As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thick clouds, and dawn broke, all three gates of the Investigation Bureau opened, and modified vehicles filled with Investigation Bureau members drove out like a steel torrent.

"The first team will proceed to their designated positions."

"Transportation escort squadrons one through three have assembled!"

"Patrol squads one through nine have assembled!"

"Logistics Squadrons One through Five have assembled!"

"The entire investigation team is in position!"

A loud roar echoed through the silent city, and the survivors who had been hiding and fleeing stepped forward again. Their voices, which had been suppressed for so long, resonated in the city that should have belonged to them, and they were not afraid of being heard by ghosts or monsters.

Looking at the convoy outside the car window, Han Fei felt even more confident: "Fate is a cycle. This time, I'll let Gao Cheng take Gao Xing's eyes away! Then, step by step, I'll turn Gao Xing's birthday into its death anniversary!"
