My Healing Games

Chapter 248 The Father in the Wind Chimes
"I've forgotten when I first dreamed about that thing. At first, it seemed to be hiding in the crowd, brushing past me unintentionally, but later, for some reason, it seemed to have become attached to me..."

The words in his mind were spoken aloud by Han Fei as he looked at the thing inside the building across the street.

The "ghost" from his nightmare has entered reality, and he is experiencing the same thing that the spider went through.

Han Fei never expected the other party to reappear in this form. It all seemed like a premeditated "coincidence." The spider he was playing was standing in the same spot as the spider from more than ten years ago, and they saw the same "ghost."

Han Fei didn't read the lines exactly; he didn't even know what he said. He just stared at the pale face across the street, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

When they first met eyes, Han Fei felt a little apprehensive, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Having endured the trials of Animal Alley and become the Midnight Butcher, Han Fei's temperament and mindset in reality have also changed.

His fingers unconsciously curled, as if he wanted to grasp the handle of a knife.

With a blink, when Han Fei opened his eyes again, the figure had vanished.

Han Fei continued to stare at a window across the street. He knew the other person would definitely reappear, and would get closer and closer.

This relentless, oppressive fear could drive an ordinary person insane, but Han Fei harbored a faint sense of anticipation.

He wants to kill the butterfly! Whether in the Deep World or in reality!

When Han Fei looked away and glanced around the room, the actors' gazes towards him changed.

The story continued as it unfolded. After Han Fei finished recounting his nightmare, no one in the small room spoke to break the oppressive atmosphere until the director and assistant made a perfect hand gesture.

The solidified aura instantly dissipated, and everyone looked at Han Fei again.

“Why didn’t you act according to the script?” Bai Xian paused for a moment and then continued, “What I mean is that the story you told seemed to fit the script better than the actual dialogue, as if that’s how Spider communicated with the other alternate personalities.”

"That's incredible! And the way you looked at the building across the street, that sudden shift and outburst of emotion in a fraction of a second! It was like you really saw a ghost! How did you do that?"

Director Zhang, who had been staring at the camera, also came over; he was also shocked.

First of all, Han Fei did not follow the script completely. Some of his lines were not in the script at all, but when Han Fei said them, they sounded completely natural.

The way he was in that state, the emotions he expressed, and the way he spoke made everyone present feel as if they were seeing a living spider.

"What did I just say?" Han Fei had indeed seen a ghost, but he wasn't afraid. As he looked at the ghost, he spoke the words that were in his mind, without even knowing what he said.

"You don't remember? Is this what stream-of-consciousness acting is like?" Bai Xian was really surprised. He felt that Han Fei wasn't lying.

"Maybe I was just in a good state of mind and completely immersed in the role. If I had to do it again, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to recreate it." After Han Fei finished speaking, he glanced at the building across the street again, but the human-like thing did not reappear.

The other party will likely be closer to Han Fei next time, and Han Fei is also "looking forward" to seeing the other party again.

"Brother, you're really amazing. So far in this drama, you've already contributed two classic scenes: 'jumping off a building' and 'telling about nightmares.' I feel like you might be able to deliver a textbook-level masterpiece in this show." Bai Xian was honestly a little envious. Han Fei delivered the best performance with the fewest scenes, and most importantly, Han Fei is only in his twenties. His future is truly limitless.

Han Fei merely smiled in response to the compliments, paying them no heed.

He knew very well that his acting skills were not enough to easily create a classic; he had really seen a "ghost" just now.

During breaks in filming, Han Fei didn't forget to report the situation to the police. When it was time for lunch break, he took his lunchbox and went to the police station in person, hoping that Li Xue could accompany him to check the residential building across the street.

"I saw that thing in this room." Han Fei pointed to a door when they arrived on the fourth floor.

"The doorknob and lock are covered in dust. This house hasn't been lived in for a long time. Are you sure this is the one?" Li Xue called her colleague, who quickly sent her the information of the building's residents.

The rooms where the ghost faces appear are all empty houses whose owners have passed away.

Li Xue turned on the body camera and intended to use a special tool to open the door, but to her surprise, the door was not locked.

Upon entering the house, all that could be found was a floor covered in moldy, smelly garbage.

Han Fei walked to the window and stood where the ghost had appeared, then looked back at the filming location where he had been.

"Where will it appear next time? Will it sneak up to my bedside while I'm playing games?"

Finding nothing, Han Fei was preparing to leave when he inadvertently noticed a mirror placed in the corner of the balcony.

Everything in the room was covered in dust, except for the mirror.

"When I jumped from the fourth floor to the safety net, I think I saw a mirror too. Could this mirror be related to that ghostly figure?" Han Fei told Li Xue his guess. She put on gloves and took the mirror out of the room, preparing to go back and test it to see if she could find fingerprints or other evidence.

Han Fei wanted to search the house a little longer, but Li Xue's phone suddenly rang.

Her colleague told her that the orphan that Spider had adopted had appeared in the family compound.

"Han Fei, didn't you just want to meet Spider's adopted son? He's in the building where you're filming your movie right now."

"His appearance at this time is a bit too coincidental." Han Fei walked out of the room where the ghost face had been and looked at the steps leading upstairs. There was no one in the empty stairwell, but he felt very oppressed, as if a pair of eyes were watching him through the peephole behind a certain door.

"Let's go see the kid who sold his adoptive father's brain." Han Fei and Li Xue returned to the filming location. They didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but the people around them were very surprised. Why would a smart and capable policewoman be on set with an actor?

Other actors are accompanied by assistants, but why is this actor always accompanied by police officers?

"Give way."

Pushing open the door to room 401, Han Fei met Spider's adopted son for the first time in Spider's bedroom.

Before meeting the spider, that child was an orphan like Han Fei, and coincidentally, they had both spent some time in the Happy Orphanage.

Han Fei knocked on the half-open door and stared at the man sitting at the table, or rather, it would be more appropriate to describe him as a boy.

The other person was actually around twenty years old, but had a very youthful face and frighteningly white skin, as if it had been bleached with drugs.

His arms were slightly longer than normal, and he was dressed in all black. He was staring intently at the wind chimes hanging by the window.

"What are you looking at?" Han Fei gently closed the door, locking himself and the other person in the bedroom.

Hearing the voice, the pale-skinned young man didn't turn his head and casually replied, "I'm looking at my father. Shh, keep your voice down, he's talking to me."
