My Healing Games

Chapter 132 Harmonious Colleague Relationships

The ghost in the white wax had worked in the convenience store for a long time. He had seen all sorts of wandering ghosts and monsters, but this was the first time he had encountered someone like Han Fei.

Looking at the smile on Han Fei's face, it felt genuinely afraid, unable to fathom what emotions were hidden behind that smile.

It didn't feel any happiness from that smile, only a kind of indescribable pleasure.

The man before me seemed to be wearing heavy shackles, wielding a blood-dripping knife, dancing in the depths of hell.

The complexity of human nature was vividly displayed in that man; he was afraid and uneasy, but at the same time, he seemed to be getting used to that fear at an astonishing speed.

Silently avoiding eye contact, Bai La didn't dare to meet Han Fei's gaze.

Han Fei also noticed that Bai La had suddenly become much more obedient. He didn't think too much about it, but just assumed that the other party might have lowered his attitude because he had killed the shop manager.

Looking out at the city, Han Fei recalled the map left by the building manager: "The Happiness Community is located in a remote area. All the dangerous buildings in this area have been marked by the building manager. Compared with other areas, the neighborhood where the Happiness Community is located is already very safe. I should cherish this."

"There are two ways to get to the 'exit' that the building manager finally marked."

"First, strive to improve your strength, and then secretly cross the city. The smaller the target, the fewer ghosts and monsters you will disturb, and eventually you will reach the location of the exit."

"Another method is to proceed steadily, clear out all the ghosts from all the buildings, take them over, and push the area under your control all the way to the exit!"

“Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and I can do both at the same time.” Han Fei stood inside the building, his gaze fixed on Yimin Private Academy in the distance.

“Each of the vengeful spirits in this deep world has its own obsession, and it is difficult for them to unite. This is my opportunity.”

"I am better at using a large group than working alone."

With his finger pointing at the window, Han Fei drew a straight line: "Happiness Community, Yimin Convenience Store, Yimin Private Academy. After connecting these three places, I can build a safe passage, gather the strength of the three places to support each other, and explore further into the neighborhood."

"Perfect Life" was originally a healing simulation game, but Han Fei decided to try a different approach.

He stood quietly by the window, without logging out of the game, until almost four in the morning, when he finally saw the person he had been waiting for.

The one-eyed clerk, covered in wounds, returned to the convenience store carrying a tattered paper figure on his back.

"The woman in the wedding dress didn't come back with him? Did her soul dissipate? Or is she trapped in the Death Tower?"

Stuffing the beeswax into his pocket, Han Fei, confident that he could quit the game at any time, ran out of Building One again.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, and still wearing his convenience store uniform, he rushed into Yimin Convenience Store.

The soul bell jingled, and the one-eyed clerk, carrying the tattered paper figure on his back, stood blankly in the convenience store.

The shelves were overturned, various items were scattered all over the ground, and even the glass door of the shop was smashed.

Hearing footsteps, the one-eyed shop assistant slowly turned around to look behind him, his only remaining eye filled with confusion.

"The store was vandalized?"

"If it were just the store being smashed, I would definitely be very sad, but the key point is that the store manager was also killed." Han Fei's words were full of vulgarity, which shocked One-Eyed.

Staring at Han Fei's employee uniform, a glimmer of reason slowly returned to his eyes, and he rushed towards the warehouse.

The shelves were pushed against the wall, and paper figures with blank expressions were scattered all over the floor.

He walked through the paper figures, stared in disbelief at the gap behind the last row of shelves.

"Where's the store manager's coffin?"

"It was smashed along with the store manager."

Han Fei gestured for the one-eyed clerk to follow him, and the two of them opened the back door of the convenience store and entered the gloomy back alley.

"Esteemed seniors, the shopkeeper who has been imprisoning and exploiting you has been completely destroyed. The curse he placed on you should also be lifted, and you can try to step out of the walls."

The ghosts sealed in the walls dare not leave at will; if the curse is triggered, their fragile souls may shatter directly.

The back alley suddenly became quiet, and after a moment, an old woman tried to walk out from the wall.

She detached herself completely from the wall, her soul unharmed.

A few seconds later, the back alley seemed to boil over completely, and streams of ghostly spirits poured out.

Although they only had a little bit of resentment left, their numbers were so great that when they gathered together, they emitted an astonishing amount of resentment.

“From today onwards, no one will restrict your freedom. I have fulfilled my promise.”

Han Fei granted all the remaining souls freedom, but most of them did not leave the back alley.

They have no way to protect themselves. If they leave this place, they will probably be swallowed up by the monsters around them before they get very far.

Han Fei also considered this situation: "We became friends because of this convenience store. If you really have nowhere else to go, you can continue to stay here and run this place as your own shop. No one will exploit you or bully you. Everyone is equal. I will turn this place into a home where you can shelter from the wind and rain."

Spreading out his hands, Han Fei looked sincerely at all the lingering spirits: "You are free to leave at any time. No one will stop you from being free. If you get tired or weary outside, you can come back anytime. As long as I am in this shop, the doors will always be open for you. You are always welcome."

The lingering resentment that has lost its power has nowhere to go. This deep world itself is a world with nowhere to go, filled with despair and pain. On the contrary, Han Fei is surrounded by a gentle warmth.

After he finished speaking, he went into the warehouse. The remaining remnant souls, without much hesitation, all chose to follow him into the shop.

The paper doll shopkeeper chose to control his employees through curses and torture, while Han Fei was willing to trust everyone and take the initiative to accept all of them.

However, if it weren't for the Paper Doll Shopkeeper's past atrocities, the remnant soul wouldn't have realized Han Fei's goodness, much less would it have followed Han Fei willingly.

These remnant souls, when gathered together, form a force not to be underestimated, and they are all experienced veterans.

After gaining the approval of the remnant souls, Han Fei looked at the one-eyed shopkeeper and said, "Actually, I did all this not entirely for myself. I once met a very cute child who hoped that I could find his brother."

Upon hearing the word "brother," a complex emotion flashed in the one-eyed shop assistant's cloudy eyes.

“His name is Firefly, and he and his mother live in the hotel next to the convenience store.” Han Fei gently patted the one-eyed clerk on the shoulder, using the secret to touch the depths of the soul: “Go and have a good time with them, don’t let them worry. After we’re done, I hope you can come back here to help me.”

Han Fei sensed excitement, pain, and love for family from the one-eyed shop assistant.

“This used to be a cannibalistic shop, full of blood and filth. Now I want to completely change this shop and turn it into a place that is not so desperate and can make those souls feel a little warmth.”

Han Fei's eyes were incredibly sincere. The one-eyed shop assistant stared at him for a long time before finally nodding: "I will stay."

When the one-eyed shop assistant said those words, Han Fei heard the system's cold voice in his mind.

"Attention player number 0000! Under the influence of the title 'Shopkeeper,' Firefly's friendship level has increased by ten! He has decided to become your shop assistant."

"Yinglong (the resentment in the convenience store): He was once a customer, a product, and a clerk. He has experienced a lot of pain and torment."

Han Fei knew the one-eyed shopkeeper was very powerful, but he didn't expect that the other party was also a vengeful spirit. From this, he could deduce how much pain and horror the other party had suffered.

“Resentment also varies in strength, and One-Eyed should belong to the relatively weak category. But it doesn’t matter, as long as it devours enough ‘food,’ it will definitely become stronger.”

Having left behind his single eye, Han Fei then discussed with all the remaining souls how to proceed from there.

The woman in the wedding dress was scammed by the shop manager once and might come looking for trouble. Just to be on the safe side, Han Fei decided to temporarily suspend business.

He also instructed the one-eyed shop assistant that if the woman in the wedding dress came, he should take all his regrets and escape to the Happiness Community.

After finishing up the miscellaneous tasks at the convenience store, Han Fei sprinted back to Building 1 of the Happiness Community.

He entered the haunted house 1044, found Wei Youfu, and told him that the one-eyed shop assistant might come to take refuge before exiting the game.

Blood shrouded the world, and consciousness began to detach.

"What a long and exciting night..."
