My Healing Games

Chapter 169 An Inherited Educational Philosophy
Zhang Guanxing regained his memories of the moment of his death, which were mixed with some of his resentment. Most importantly, he did not lose his mind.

At this moment, Han Fei had reached his limit. He let go of his hand and his body fell backward uncontrollably. Fortunately, the black python emerged with ghost patterns and cushioned Han Fei's fall.

His limbs trembled uncontrollably, and his heartbeat continued to slow. The large amount of Yin energy entering his body caused severe damage to Han Fei, and his blood and qi were almost frozen. His skin was frighteningly cold.

"My stamina is still too low."

Lying on his dormitory bed, Han Fei found it difficult to even move.

This was his first direct confrontation with resentment, and the result was extremely tragic. If he didn't rely on the blood-red paper doll to deliver the final blow, he would have had no chance of winning even if he risked his life.

"After the Yin energy enters my body, I can last for about a hundred seconds. During this time, I can resist some of the attacks of resentment, and my physical fitness will also improve. This ability is actually more suitable for escaping."

The ghostly markings on his body were faintly visible. Han Fei lay on the bed, covered in wounds. His face was contorted with rage, but in his mind he was planning how to escape more effectively.

Half an hour finally passed, and Han Fei received a system notification.

"Attention player number 0000! You have successfully completed the G-level hidden mission - The Face with Your Back."

"Gain one skill point as a basic task reward, and increase Zhang Guanxing's favorability by twenty."

"Due to the mission completion rate exceeding 100%, double experience points will be awarded, and an additional hidden mission reward—a solid back—will be added."

"Sturdy Back (Exclusive Passive Ability, cannot be upgraded with skill points): Strengthens back defense; damage from curses and resentment attacks to the back is reduced."

"Three school ghost stories have been successfully completed, and the F-level hidden mission, Jin Sheng's School Ghost Story, is three-sevenths complete."

Having finally completed a task after giving it his all, Han Fei's anxiety gradually subsided. Now, he only needed to last for three hours before he could exit the game.

Zhang Guanxing remained anxiously by the bedside, unsure of what to do. He felt a mix of gratitude and guilt towards Han Fei.

Those who harmed him remain at large, while those who helped him were accidentally injured.

"Teacher, how about I go to the school clinic and see if I can find any bandages or medicine?"

"No need, just stay in this dorm room and don't wander off." Han Fei forced a smile. "I've lost my fighting ability now, and this building is extremely dangerous. We'd better not separate."

"Then, teacher, what are your injuries..."

"Don't worry about me, go check if the wishing jar is alright." Han Fei looked at the black jar with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"There are several more cracks, but it shouldn't break anytime soon. After all, it's been a curse that's been circulating in this school for a long time." Zhang Guanxing had completely recalled his past memories, and now he was very mature and seemed very reliable.

“G-grade cursed objects contain many people’s malicious thoughts and various negative emotions. It can be said that the cursed objects themselves are created by human malice. Even if they are damaged, they can be restored as long as they can continuously absorb malice.” Zhang Guanxing closed the black jar and placed it next to Han Fei’s bed: “However, this is the first time I have seen someone use a cursed object like this.”

Zhang Guanxing recalled the scene when Han Fei smashed the black jar over "his" head, and he felt that Han Fei was indeed a very special person.

“I lack a suitable weapon. I originally wanted to smash this jar and use the cursed fragments as knives, but I didn’t expect it to be so sturdy.” Han Fei raised his arm with all his might and gently touched the black jar. He still couldn’t put it into his inventory. “It seems it doesn’t consider me its master yet. Then don’t blame me for being ruthless in the future.”

Zhang Guanxing didn't know why Han Fei was targeting the black jar. He guessed that Han Fei might have suffered a great loss when he entered the black jar before, which was why he was targeting the black jar like this.

"Guanxing, go and close the doors and windows. I have some questions for you." Han Fei thought for a moment before speaking: "Have you seen an old man at the school before? He has the same teacher's work certificate as me and he used to work at this school."

"elder?"

"The old man had a kind and approachable face, and he always had a smile on his face."

"Are you talking about Teacher Fu Sheng?" Zhang Guanxing sat down next to the bed, his emotions fluctuating slightly, as if he were a little scared: "He was the oldest among the school's teachers, he looked to be over sixty. He was very kind to every student, but unfortunately he disappeared later."

“Fu Sheng? Fu Sheng?” Han Fei narrowed his eyes. He finally knew the name of the previous building manager, although it might be a pseudonym: “I am Fu Sheng’s neighbor. The main reason I came here is to find him.”

"Are you here to see Teacher Fu?" Zhang Guanxing shook his head: "I don't know where he went."

"Can you tell me what your impression of him is? Did he do anything to you?" Han Fei was more curious about this.

Zhang Guanxing's expression changed after regaining his memories of death, and fear filled his eyes: "In some ways, Teacher Fu is very similar to you. At first, I couldn't control myself, and he 'kindly' helped me control myself."

"What kind of control method?"

“When he beat me to the point of near death, he forcibly extracted the memories filled with hatred and resentment. That process was extremely painful. The most terrifying thing was…” Zhang Guanxing said with a bitter face, “When I woke up again, the memories of death had been removed. I even forgot that he had beaten me to the point of near death. When I saw him again, I just felt that this teacher looked kind and approachable, and that he was a very nice person.”

The previous building manager chose the path of destroying the deep world, so his teaching methods were rather brutal, which Han Fei could understand.

Fu Sheng's idea was actually very simple: destroy the despair and the terrible things, and leave only the last bit of humanity.

His method of dealing with vengeful ghosts is somewhat like that of Western medicine from long ago, directly surgically removing the lesion. Han Fei, on the other hand, is more like a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, treating both internal and external ailments together.

"Is that all you remember about that teacher? Has he done anything strange at school?" Han Fei's teacher's work ID was left by the previous dormitory manager. When he entered the school with this work ID, he was taken directly to the dormitory building.

The new dormitory manager wouldn't have done something pointless, which means there must be something Han Fei needs in the dormitory building.

In this situation, Han Fei encountered Zhang Guanxing. There were many students at Yimin Private Academy, but it seemed that only Zhang Guanxing had been tampered with by the previous dormitory manager. Therefore, he vaguely felt that the previous dormitory manager seemed to want him to meet Zhang Guanxing.

One link leads to another; it is both a test and an opportunity.

"He was a kind old man who was always kind to everyone. He was gentle and never argued with anyone. The students all liked him very much... Oh, right, there was one child who seemed to be afraid of him."

"Who?"

"That boy is from Class 1, Grade 7, and his name is Jinsheng."

"Do you know his current location?" Han Fei felt that the main quest of Yimin Private Academy was about to surface.

“I remember when Teacher Fu was ‘educating’ me, he locked all the resentment and memories of my death that he had extracted from me into a cabinet under a podium on the fourth floor of the teaching building. I don’t know how much time passed, but in this life, he opened the cabinet, released my resentment, and then crawled into the cabinet himself.”

Zhang Guanxing absorbed the resentment, and his lost memories returned. He then gave Han Fei a crucial clue.

After learning the exact location where Jin Sheng was hiding, Han Fei instructed Zhang Guanxing not to reveal Jin Sheng's location to anyone else, as there were many other "things" in the school searching for him.
