My Iyashikei Game - Chapter 897: The Perfect Family
As more people put their faith in Mad Laughter, the more powerful he would be. As more survivors gathered at Bao Kang Base, the figurine in the middle of the street became more terrifying.
“How did we manage to set up a base in Zone A?” Dong Quan was shocked. In the past, the center thought about coming to Zone A. The center gave up after paying a huge price. “The leader is not someone simple.”
In just one night, Team 13 managed to build a safe zone around Bao Kang Children’s Hospital. This was unimaginable in the past. The center had several persona users with eight awakenings, but Han Fei had easily accomplished something the center couldn’t. Killing four Pure Hatreds, healing the survivors with the starlight, and giving the survivors enslaved by Pure Hatred hope, was something Han Fei had done. Normal people didn’t dare to ask for much after the tragedy. They just wanted to be safe. Han Fei’s strength and gentleness were shown. In the tragedy, who wouldn’t want to follow someone like that? The survivors were healed by Han Fei. To Han Fei’s surprise, the survivors included old members from the center. Some of them sacrificed themselves to cover their teammate’s retreat. When they found out Han Fei came from the center, they actively helped him. Pure Hatred thought they were at the top of the food chain and everything was within their control. This sharpened the constitution of the survivors. Normally, once a person’s mental corruption was over 80 percent, they would go crazy. However, Han Fei’s persona could cleanse mental corruption. There were many persona users in the new base. The survivors were surprised that Han Fei, who was so strong, was also a doctor.
“The greed persona traps ghosts; the healing persona cures the curse on others. I feel like I was born for this tragedy.” Han Fei was in a good mood. The construction of the base went smoother than he thought. He was worried that he wouldn’t have enough foundation, but the persona users he rescued from Black Buildings solved this problem.
As the sun rose, Dong Quan handed Han Fei the report. Inside the base, there were 8700 normal survivors, 211 unique persona users, 3 persona users with three awakenings, and a persona user with six awakenings, Yan Ruyu. Yan Ruyu had the liar persona. He had been hiding until he found out Han Fei could cure mental corruption. He was the butler for the Pure Hatred, Mr. Evil Soul. He lived within urban legends. Every day, he had to play various death games with Mr. Evil Soul. If he were careless, he’d die.
Yan Ruyu was a huge discovery.
Han Fei used Soul-depth Touch to understand the thoughts and soul of each persona user. He found the best assignment for everything. The foundation of the base was ready. As soon as he set up sufficient food and water source, the base could run like normal. It would be hard for other bases to find sufficient food in Zone A, but with the aid of the black merchants, Han Fei knew where to get a lot of food. Plus, he didn’t plan to stay there for long. He was preparing for the final battle before God’s birthday.
“While the sun is still up, we should work on setting up the base.” Han Fei gave new orders. The altar world had entered the third stage. The base wouldn’t enjoy the peace for long. “Ah Nian and Yan Lan can work together to stop a normal Pure Hatred. If there are more, I can help. But they will need further training. They can’t rely on me too much.”
After that, Han Fei went deeper into Zone A on his own. As he approached Sky Garden Residential Area, God’s eyes started to tremble. Gao Cheng wanted to open his eyes to see his mother. “Don’t worry. I’ll fulfill my promises to you.”
Han Fei stopped moving. The ghost territory at Sky Garden was different from before. It was another Pure Hatred living there!
The other party discovered Han Fei as well. The ghost territory opened a gap. The lingering hatred coalesced into a staircase for Han Fei. “A welcoming ceremony? It’s rare to meet such a polite Pure Hatred.”
Han Fei entered the building. Instantly, the ghost territory swallowed everything.
All the rooms in the building had a red number on them. Han Fei noticed that the numbers kept changing, but they would only decrease and not increase. “It feels completely different from the first time I was here.”
Bloody hair dripped from the ceiling. Occasionally, one could hear children’s lullabies. This place was as absurd as Tong Xin’s ghost territory.
There were heavy knocks on the door. Han Fei paused and turned around. There was no one in the corridor, but the knocking gradually approached. About ten seconds later, the room on Han Fei’s left suddenly opened. A black-robed man appeared. He held a tray. On the tray was a missing person’s article about Gao Xing. However, the picture in this article had been cut through by a sharp knife. A gash slashed through Gao Xing’s face. His eyes were poked with two metal needles. The person who did this hated Gao Xing a lot.
“Why did you bring this to me?” Han Fei looked at the man. The man said nothing and turned around. He seemed to be leading the way for Han Fei. Han Fei ended the room. The room was covered in blood. The cracked wall had many bloody doors. Whenever the man opened a door, the number on the door would drop. After a long time, the man suddenly stopped. He removed his hood, and there was no expression on his face. His eyes dulled as well.
“What’s wrong?” Han Fei tapped the man’s shoulders. The man collapsed to the ground like a broken toy.
“His memory has been exhausted. You should congratulate him. He doesn’t need to suffer anymore.” A hoarse female voice came from behind one of the doors. Her voice contained intense hatred, but at the same time, she retained a normal person’s rationality.
“Who are you?” Han Fei couldn’t even determine her location.
“You haven’t seen me, but I’ve been watching you.” The woman paused for a long time before saying, “You’re not Gao Cheng.”
“I’m not Gao Cheng, then who am I?” Han Fei became alert.
“I don’t know who you are, and I don’t know why you want to help Gao Cheng. I just need to know one thing. Is Gao Xing in trouble?” The woman knew many things. She was different from a normal Pure Hatred. She wouldn’t be easily fooled.
“Which Gao Xing are you talking about?”
“Of course, I’m talking about the Unmentionable outside this altar world! The source of sin, Gao Xing!” The woman’s voice turned shrill. It sounded like grating glass.
Han Fei narrowed his eyes. “You know you’re living inside Gao Xing’s altar?” “Don’t change the subject! Answer me!” The woman’s hatred enveloped Han Fei. The numbers on the bloody doors dropped.
“Normally, outsiders can’t enter Unmentionable’s altar unless the Unmentionable is dying.” Han Fei hid Mad Laughter’s existence.
Hearing that, crazy laughter came from inside the door. Then, it became maddening cries.
“I’ve answered you. Now, can you tell me who you are?” Hatred gathered behind one of the doors. Everything related to Gao Xing was torn apart. When Gao Xing’s face couldn’t be seen anymore, the bloody door before Han Fei opened.
A woman bound by blood ropes appeared. She had an impossibly beautiful face. It was like an artwork. However, her body was covered in ghastly wounds. The wounds were infected by God’s curses, so they wouldn’t heal.
“I’m Gao Xing’s wife. I’m also the person who wants to kill him the most.” The woman’s expression was twisted, but even so, she was grotesquely beautiful.
“Wife?” Han Fei didn’t know such a person exists. “I have no idea someone like him could get married.”
“Yes. I also didn’t imagine my loving husband would be a crazy murderer!” Once the woman thought of the past, the red rope on her body would tighten. The end of the ropes was tied to many dead bodies. When the woman felt pain, the carcasses would crawl toward her. Even if she shattered them, they would reform. The bodies didn’t exist. They were demons in her heart.
“He has never treated me as his wife, only a vessel to provide him with the motherly love he was missing. Then he turned me into his art! All the goodness I felt was fake. My emotions were controlled by him. When I was happiest, he killed me in the most brutal way.” The woman’s hatred was losing control. “He made a trade with nightmare to become a demon. However, he was afraid of being lied to, so he used me as the experiment. He turned me into a ghost!”
“Gao Xing traded with nightmare? Could it be Dream’s consciousness?” The tragedy was caused by more than one Unmentionable. Several of them worked together to do this. Gao Xing was the executioner, while Dream from the theme park was the planner.
“I was made into a crazy ghost and became his blade. When he became an Unmentionable, I was no longer useful. He trapped his mother, me, and the others into the altar to create a false family for himself.”
Perhaps it was the effect of the Lapidarist, Han Fei realized many female ghosts liked to complain to him. He was indeed a good listener too.
