My Iyashikei Game - Chapter 915: Out of Love
“So does Gao Cheng have Gao Xing’s eyes or not?” Han Fei picked up the doctor and cleansed his mental corruption. When he realized the doctor was still incommunicable, he used Soul-depth Touch. The darkest fear within the doctor was from surgery. Han Fei immersed himself in it.
Inside the office, the doctor explained to Gao Xing and Gao Cheng’s parents again, “The eyes are a very complicated organ. Once the nerves are cut off, it’s basically impossible to heal. The capillaries on them are thinner than hair. The biggest thing we can do is to replace the broken parts with something else so that he could see at least blurrily.”
“What are the chances of my child regaining his sight?” The woman gripped her hands tightly. She had been preparing a long time for this day.
“There’s still a chance.” The doctor didn’t look at the blind parents. He only focused on the rich woman. The flowery perfume of the woman made the blind couple feel uncomfortable. They were very nervous.
“The best solution is to do a temporary transplant surgery. If you argue, please sign here.” The doctor personally poured the rich woman a cup of hot tea. There was not even a cup before the blind couple. “You can trust me. I won’t earn one extra dime from you. Plus, there’s no one else in this city that would do such a dangerous surgery.”
“But the price is to cost another child to lose his sight and the success rate is so low…”
The woman wanted to say no when the doctor took out another document. “The chance of finding a child who has eyes compatible with your son is one in a million. Plus, this surgery is no longer possible when your son is older. Even if you don’t like it, you have to consider your son. The world is so beautiful. Do you really want your son to be blind permanently?”
“But you never told me that the eyes would come from another living child!” The woman put the contract away. “I thought it would come from a donor but I’ve seen that boy at the aquarium. He’s perfectly healthy!”
“His parents have already agreed. Why won’t you?” The doctor mocked the blind couple. “They need the money and you need the eyes. It’s a fair trade.”
The door suddenly opened. A man in a branded coat hurried in. When the woman saw the man, she seemed to have found support. She told the man everything the doctor said. On the surface, the man supported his wife but after the wife left, the man didn’t hesitate to sign the contract. Gao Cheng’s mother’s kindness was that she didn’t want to take away the light from a stranger while Gao Cheng’s father’s kindness was to give the doctor and the blind doctor more money. Once the contract was signed, the doctor’s soul cracked. Han Fei used the healing persona to stabilize it. Once the surgery started, Han Fei’s question was solved as well. Due to many different reasons, the transplant surgery didn’t happen for both eyes at once. The doctor swapped one eye only. It wasn’t considered a success or a failure either. Gao Cheng didn’t recover his sight. He could only see blurry shadows at first. The fates of the two children intertwined. After the woman knew the truth, she stopped the surgery for the second eye. Then, the nightmare began for everyone.
The doctor’s daughter was splashed in the face with acid one day she went home from school. Her eyes were injured. The neighbors who once bullied the blind parents had their houses set on fire. The students who mocked Gao Xing at school disappeared. As time progressed, scarier things occurred. It was not until the blind parents were killed by thieves that the tragedy stopped for a moment.
During the last memory of the doctor, Han Fei saw the woman holding two missing person reports. Both Gao Cheng and Gao Xing were missing.
“Other than Gao Xing’s birth mother, no one cares about him.”
The only person who treated Gao Xing well was his birth mother. “No wonder Gao Xing is so desperate for his mother’s love. He is now a ghost feared by everyone. He can force everyone to fear him, but he can’t force others to love him.”
Han Fei walked among the dead blood vessels. God’s Eyes fought with Gao Cheng’s birth parents. The two pairs of eyes collided, and the entire world shook. The blind parents drew power from the Taboo Building. This meant that Han Fei very successfully came to the hospital’s lowest level. Deep inside the layers of capillaries, there was the dead body of a child. It looked around five or six. His body was covered in wounds. All the black capillaries came out of this child. Its mottled face looked up into the sky. Han Fei noticed the child looked very similar to the picture of the boy in the missing person’s report.
“Is this the young Gao Xing?” The blind parents were not protecting the adult Gao Xing but the child that they raised. Their guilt was because of this dead body. After all, they ruined this child’s life.
Han Fei walked to the boy’s body. He used Soul-Depth Touch and touched the boy’s hand. The child underneath Third Optometrist Hospital was Gao Xing’s abandoned humanity. It contained his kindness, fear, weakness, and some love.
“Is this Gao Xing’s weakness?”
Han Fei picked up the boy. A lot of black capillaries crawled out of the boy. They wanted to dig into Han Fei’s eyes. The blind parents felt something. They abandoned fighting Gao Cheng and rushed at Han Fei.
“I’ve once entered Mirror God’s altar world. Every Unmentionable will move the key moment of their life into the altar. For Gao Xing, the hospital is where his life changed.” Han Fei cut off the blood capillaries and placed the blade on the boy’s neck. “If I destroy this body, the hospital will crumble. However, Gao Xing will forever lose his sense of weakness, fear, and love.” After a moment’s hesitation, Han Fei opened the greed abyss. He stood under the healing starlight and looked at the blind couple. “You are Gao Cheng’s birth parents. I don’t want to see blood kins fight each other. Give up and surrender.” Han Fei pressed the blade down, and blood oozed out of the boy’s neck. “If you continue to struggle, I’ll destroy this boy’s body, and then I’ll destroy the both of you.”
Several Pure Hatreds surrounded Han Fei. He had the backing to say something like that. The bloodred eyes formed by the blind parents dulled. Han Fei used the boy used bait and drew the blind couple into the abyss.
“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve unlocked Top Pure Hatred, Guilt, and Regret.
“Guilt and Regret: The meaning of our existence is to atone. We regret everything we did to you. We are ashamed of our selfishness. We’re the worst parents in the world. I’m sorry, my child.”
The eyes were called guilt and regret respectively. They were made from the atonement of the sinners. Some of them did horrible things to Gao Xing. Others were tricked by Gao Xing into believing that they had sinned.
Gao Cheng didn’t know how to face his blind parents. They were his birth parents, but he didn’t have any good impression of them. In Gao Cheng’s heart, he only had one mother, and that was the woman who told him how beautiful the world was and gave him all the love. Actually, this was punishment for the blind parents. Their greed turned them into the saddest people.
“No matter what, they are your birth parents. You should explain everything to them.” Han Fei communicated with Gao Cheng. To improve God’s eyes, the best solution was to absorb the two red eyes. If that were successful, Han Fei would get closer to the ninth awakening and break the limitation set by God. Gao Cheng knew that usurpation had reached a critical moment. He had to convince his birth parents. God’s eyes slowly approached the dissolving blood-red eyes. The family reunited. Han Fei didn’t interrupt Gao Cheng. After he swallowed Third Optometrist Hospital, he led Pure Hatred to study the boy’s body.
With Tong Xin’s help, Han Fei successfully pulled out Gao Xing’s weakness, fear, and kindness. The boy’s body turned into ash, and only an ashy heart remained.
