My Healing Games

Chapter 176 Old Li is a good person
"It's not serious, I'm perfectly normal!" Old Li was a little confused.

"You didn't feel any discomfort?" Han Fei was also shocked. He looked at Old Li, who was practically a moving mountain of ghosts.

"No, I think you look terrible. Are you too tired from work?" Old Li, covered in filth and followed by a resentful man, actually started to show concern for Han Fei.

"It's fine as long as you don't feel uncomfortable." Han Fei tried to adjust his breathing. As a professional actor, tonight was a huge test of his acting skills.

He wanted to ignore the stench emanating from Old Li, and even more so, the ghosts and resentments surrounding him. He wanted to be an "ordinary person" like Old Li.

"You still haven't explained why you're here? And what exactly happened at the school?" Old Li was very responsible; he didn't completely trust Han Fei just because Han Fei had a teacher's work certificate.

Han Fei originally wanted Lao Li to read Shu Mengting's diary, as the deceased's belongings contained information related to Lao Li.

Based on his speculation, the reward items from the previous hidden quest were likely to be helpful for the next quest, and he felt that the diary could awaken Old Li's memories.

The idea was good, but as soon as Han Fei took Shu Mengting's diary out of his inventory, the ghost on Old Li started to go berserk.

The ghosts surrounding Old Li seem unwilling to let him regain his memories. If Han Fei forcibly takes out the diary, it will likely have the opposite effect.

"A hoodlum ran into the school. He used to be a student here." Han Fei didn't mention anything about ghosts or monsters. He also put the diary back into his inventory. Only after he did that did the evil spirits quiet down.

"What's he doing running around the school so late at night? Stealing? Or trying to cause trouble?" Old Li sat on the single bed in the security room as usual, right next to Han Fei. The resentment emanating from the ghosts almost enveloped Han Fei's head.

Han Fei, who was a little overwhelmed, politely moved back a bit: "That child is called Zhang Guanxing. He is also a child with a hard life. His father often drinks alcohol and beats him when he is drunk."

"Zhang Guanxing?" Old Li vaguely felt that the name was somewhat familiar.

Did you see him at school?

"No, I patrol the school every night. You're the first person I've seen." Old Li scratched his head, letting Old Li's hand pass through the face on his head.

"Besides me, you haven't seen anyone else at school?" Han Fei moved back again. He felt strange. The world Old Li saw seemed completely different from the world he saw. He was like a very strange and special ghost: "When do you usually go out on patrol?"

“I’m getting old and have nowhere to live, so the school let me live in the security room and work as a night shift security guard. I go out on patrol about three times every night.” Old Li’s voice was very simple and honest.

"Going out three times every night?" Han Fei was shocked. Patrolling this godforsaken place three times every night, it was truly extraordinary that he had survived this long: "Can your body handle it?"

Looking at the old man covered in filth and the lingering resentment that hadn't left, Han Fei felt a chill run down his spine when he asked that question.

“Three times is nothing. The principal used to be from the same hometown as me, so he took special care of me. He was willing to trust me, so I certainly can’t let him down.” Old Li had clearly misunderstood Han Fei’s meaning: “I think I remember someone named Zhang Guanxing. Let’s go, I’ll go with you to find him.”

Old Li's situation is somewhat complicated. He has not only lost some key memories, but he has also awakened some rather "special" abilities.

The monsters crawling all over his body were probably one of the manifestations of this ability.

He is currently in a state of "being blinded by ghosts," and everything he sees is obscured by countless ghosts and monsters.

However, unlike the normal "ghostly blindness," the ghosts that covered Old Li's eyes did not want to harm him; on the contrary, they just wanted him to continue living a simple life.

Old Li used to be a good person, and Han Fei felt that following him would also be beneficial to him.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

The surveillance footage was the simplest covert mission Han Fei had ever completed. The reason he was able to complete it so easily was because of Lao Li.

Looking at the security guard in front of him, Han Fei felt that his luck had finally turned around.

Ever since he entered Yimin Private Academy, he has had terrible luck. Today, after logging into the game, he was separated from Zhang Guanxing and the shadowy figure again. He felt like he was being targeted by the system and that he was not worthy of his initial luck value of nine.

Han Fei got up and pushed open the door to the security room; he didn't want to stay there for another second.

As Han Fei left the security room, he glanced at the mission panel one last time.

"Player ID 0000 has successfully completed the G-level hidden mission - Surveillance Recording".

"Gain one skill point as a basic task reward, and increase Li Jingye's favorability by ten."

"Since the task completion rate is less than 50%, there will be no additional reward."

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

Han Fei had completed most of the F-level mission he was most looking forward to. Next, he planned to take Lao Li directly to the fourth floor of the teaching building to find Jin Sheng.

The monster who resembles Ma Manjiang is also on campus. Han Fei must meet him before the monster finds him and find out exactly what happened on campus.

"Old Li, aren't you scared patrolling such a big campus alone at night?"

"I am afraid, but only a little bit." Old Li, carrying a lot of "things" on his back, walked side by side with Han Fei in the corridor: "I don't believe in evil spirits."

"What a coincidence, me too." Han Fei glanced casually behind the old man, where a woman who was about two meters tall was still tiptoeing behind Old Li.

Her disfigured face was right behind Old Li, and he would see her if he turned his head.

All the ghosts and monsters were deceiving Lao Li. Han Fei was worried that if he revealed a flaw, would those ghosts and monsters try every means to make him disappear?
Old Li is a ghost who cannot see ghosts. In Old Li's world, Han Fei becomes the only person.

With Lao Li's "ghost nest" protecting him, Han Fei is now experiencing both pain and pleasure.

He endured the stench that permeated his very being and made it to the fourth floor of the teaching building without any trouble.

The first to third floors are all regular classrooms, while the fourth floor houses laboratories and activity rooms for extracurricular activities.

Is the student you mentioned hiding here?

Old Li peered through the window into the classroom, his body covered in ghostly faces that were also plastered onto the windowpane.

Seeing this scene, Han Fei was both amused and exasperated. He figured that even if Zhang Guanxing and the others were really hiding here, they would probably be too scared to make a sound after discovering Lao Li.

"What exactly is this security guard's special ability?"

Han Fei had never seen a ghost as fierce as Old Li. He shook his head slightly, no longer dwelling on the question, and went directly to the classroom at the deepest part of the fourth floor.
