My Healing Games

Chapter 298 Dead Building
Feng Ziyu spent several years secretly investigating many places before finally producing this information about the Dead Building.

The contents were too bizarre and terrifying. If Han Fei hadn't entered the Deep World, he probably wouldn't have believed that such a place really existed in Xinhu.

In the original Perfect Life game, in order to pursue a more realistic gaming experience, some game scenes were modeled after reality, including the dead building personally designed by the late chairman of Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals.

No one knows the real name of the "Dead Building"; it's just a nickname. The neighborhood seems to have been closely associated with death since it first appeared.

With the passing of the chairman of Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals and the tester driven mad, Feng Ziyu was arguably the person in the world who knew the Dead Building best. He had personally tested all the missions in the Dead Building and visited most of its rooms.

“I discovered the connection between the Dead Building and reality a long time ago. At first glance, the Dead Building seems to be a fictional building created by the chairman of Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals, but once you enter it, you will find that it has intricate connections with reality.”

"As a tester, I have repeatedly checked every task in the Dead Building. Tasks that seem normal on the surface actually hide extremely terrifying details."

"To give a simple example, there is a food deliveryman outside Building No. 1 in the game. He is a temporary replacement for his colleague who is responsible for delivering food to the Dead Building."

"In the game design, the deliveryman's personality is completely different from that of a normal NPC. He is very gloomy and will secretly inject water from the toilet into the food with a syringe and will cut his nails and hide them in the food."

"When this delivery driver was making his third delivery, he was spotted by a child's father, who noticed his suspicious behavior and got into an argument that almost escalated into a physical fight. At this point, the player will become involved in the entire incident, and the delivery driver's fate will vary depending on the choices made."

"In the game, the most the deliveryman would do is get arrested by the police, detained, and undergo psychological treatment, but I found that things are not that simple."

"The first suspicious point is that this deliveryman was temporarily replacing someone else to enter the dead building. Where did his previous colleague go? The game doesn't explain at all. This is different from the complete story presented by the AI. It's as if it was deliberately deleted."

"I tried to search for similar things in real life, and I was shocked to find that such a thing actually happened in Xinhu many years ago."

"That was a murder case. Two deliverymen were lured and killed, and their bodies were disguised as food delivery items."

"The residential complex where this case occurred is called Qiuyun Mansion, which is an upscale community. The murder case has been solved, and the murderer is the father of a child who lived in apartment 0314."

"If you think this is an exception, you are very wrong."

"Within this small, dead building, there are more than a dozen storylines, and almost every NPC has their own hidden story. I investigated them all and discovered something very shocking."

"Nearly 50 percent of the NPCs are related to reality, and their seemingly mundane daily stories are all hiding bloody murder cases!"

"In the game 'Perfect Life,' their stories are all perfectly resolved with the help of players, but in reality, it's the complete opposite."

“These tragedies and accidents from different neighborhoods have come together. I really can’t understand why the late chairman would design such a place.”

"As the investigation deepened, I soon discovered something even stranger: all the NPCs who were involved in the murders lived in rooms numbered with the number 4. The more 4s there were in the room number, the more chilling the case that occurred in that room was."

"Based on this, I became curious about what exactly was in room 4444 of the dead building."

"I tried desperately to recall and searched through the company's internal documents, and finally I realized something. There was no information in the company related to room 4444. The only person in the entire company who had entered room 4444 was my colleague, the tester who had been driven crazy."

“There must be something very important hidden in room 4444. That thing is the reason why my colleague went crazy.”

"I used various excuses to access the company's internal data, searching beneath the vast ocean of accumulated data, but unfortunately the truth had been completely covered up."

"However, I did not come away empty-handed. During my testing of the dead building, I accidentally entered a hidden room—room 4944. I clearly remember the layout of that room. In the subsequent investigation, I discovered that this room was similar to the room where the chairman of Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals lived when he was a child."

The document also included a picture, and Han Fei's eyes showed a hint of surprise when he saw it.

The layout of room 4944 is the same as the home of the previous building manager in Xingfu Community!
"Based on my previous speculation, the more 4s there are in the room number, the more terrible the tragedy that has occurred. It seems that the chairman of Yong Sheng Pharmaceutical did not have a happy childhood."

Feng Ziyu investigated all the rooms he had visited and came to a terrifying conclusion: almost half of the NPCs in the Dead Building had been murdered. It was hard to imagine that such a place would be placed in a healing game.

Having memorized all the information, Han Fei memorized the case and the corresponding room number. As he memorized them, he already felt a chill run down his spine.

Compared to the dead buildings, Happiness Community is truly "happy".

"Autumn Charm Mansion, Pear Blossom Community, Blue Sea and Sky Luxury Apartments, Happiness Road Temporary Housing..."

The Dead Building involves too many places, and there is one place that Feng Ziyu specifically marked, hoping that Han Fei could investigate it personally.

"Lihua Residential Area?"

This neighborhood has an extremely ordinary name and is a very old neighborhood. It is also the neighborhood where the late chairman of Yong Sheng Pharmaceutical lived during his childhood.

"Nine NPCs in the dead building are related to this neighborhood. It seems necessary to go and check it out."

The information included the location of Lihua Residential Area. Feng Ziyu was a very meticulous person, and he also reminded Han Fei that if he arrived at Lihua Residential Area, he should definitely look for someone.

That person was once a very famous horror film director, but he went insane after an accident involving his family.

Feng Ziyu noticed him because he had seen several NPCs in room 4144 of the dead building. They seemed to be the director's family. Coincidentally, there was also a black and white photo in room 4144 that looked about 70% like the director.

Even though the director is the only living person, his portrait is displayed in the game, seemingly reversing the boundaries between the dead and the living.
