My Healing Games

Chapter 320 The Night of April 4th

"I got the key to room 1244. Next time I log in to the game, I just need to enter room 1244, stay there for three hours, and then I can log out of the game. It's like I can live for another day."

For Han Fei, living even one more day was a happy thing, like she had shrunk the wool of death.

"When I exited the game, I vaguely heard the system say that I had obtained the key to room 1244. Why did it call room 1244 a heart chamber? Does it mean that every room in the Dead Building is a heart that holds memories?"

After thinking for a long time, Han Fei suddenly felt his heart tighten, as if someone had squeezed it hard.

He clutched his chest and subconsciously looked up at the digital clock on the wall; it was exactly 4:44 a.m.

What does 4:44 mean for the dead building? Will Hua Ge and Xiao Fang be able to make it through tonight?

The pain in my chest came suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly.

Han Fei got up from the ground and dialed the number Li Xue had left behind, hoping the police could help investigate the two people. He didn't know their specific names, but he knew what had happened to them.

One is a female anchor who suffers from a terminal illness but remains sunny and cheerful, wanting to share the good things in life. In the end, she gives up her life due to various reasons.

The other person who died from falling from a building was the eldest daughter in the family.

After learning that the two deceased might also be related to butterflies, the police immediately began an in-depth investigation without Han Fei's prompting.

After doing all this, Han Fei left his room and went to Pear Blossom Residential Area.

The Dead Building game in the home of horror film director Zhuang Ren is intricately connected to the Dead Building in the Deep World. Completing the Dead Building game will greatly help Han Fei explore the Dead Building.

A murder occurred on the set of "The Suspense Novelist." Although the murderer himself died, it still caused a negative impact, with all sorts of rumors flying around, and everyone's attention was drawn to the meat processing plant family compound where Spider used to live.

To avoid the limelight, Han Fei hasn't been filming for the past few days, which has given him time to play games during the day.

As the sun rose, Han Fei had already arrived at Zhuang Ren's doorstep.

He knocked lightly on the door, and to his surprise, footsteps sounded inside shortly afterward. Zhuang Ren, with bloodshot eyes, quickly opened the door, seemingly having been waiting for him for a long time.

"Director Zhuang, you didn't sleep all night, did you?"

"I wanted to try to beat the game myself, but I'm not very good at it and I just can't get past the Dead Building level."

"Go get some sleep first, I'll play for you. If I see your family in the game, I'll wake you up immediately."

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy."

It's clear that Zhuang Ren really cares about his family. He rushed to the sofa, poured Han Fei a drink, tidied the sofa cushions, and even wiped the game controller Han Fei was using clean.

It's quite unusual for a former big-name horror film director to treat actors this way.

After starting the game, Han Fei didn't waste any time and immediately began to operate it.

The most bizarre thing about the Dead Tower game is that if a character dies, they have to go back to the first map and start over. It seems that the game designers never intended for anyone to complete the game.

This mechanism drove Zhuang Ren to rage and smash things in the room on several occasions, but Han Fei thought it was normal.

In reality, a person only has one life, and once they die, they have nothing left. This game simply lets you start over from scratch, which is already quite generous.

After spending an hour and a half, Han Fei cleared the previous map and successfully entered the dead building.

This time, he didn't just enter any room or stay still; instead, he ran towards the fourth floor with a very clear purpose.

As he reached the corner of the stairs, a delivery ghost carrying a huge delivery box appeared. Han Fei let it chase after him until it reached the security room 1044 on the fourth floor.

Open the door and slip inside. In the dark room sit four NPCs dressed in security guard uniforms; they seem to be the only normal NPCs in the dead building.

"Four?"

Approaching them will trigger dialogue and quests. Through conversation, Han Fei discovers that the four security guards are taking advantage of their free time to tell some strange stories about the building.

This building has been very strange since it was first built, with many bizarre things happening there, especially on April 4th every year.

On this day, new residents always move in, and some old residents find themselves with unexpectedly more "people" in their homes. This day is also the most stressful day for security guards every year.

The four security guards consisted of two experienced guards and two newbies. The older guards were instructing the newbies to remember all the rules and taboos.

Rules must not be broken, taboos must not be violated, and one must ignore all distractions and overthinking in order to work here long-term.

Han Fei was engrossed in playing a game when his phone suddenly rang. After discovering it was the police calling, he took the phone and went outside.

"Have you found anything?"

"The female anchor you mentioned was very famous. She passed away on the night of April 4th, fourteen years ago, from wrist-cutting. She was lying in the bathtub of her own bathroom, wearing a white dress. When she was found, she had already lost all vital signs." Li Xue's voice came from the other end of the phone: "She was a patient and was under immense mental stress before she died. Someone forged her chat history and even put her face in some inappropriate photos and videos."

Why did those people do that?

"Perhaps they never imagined there would be such people in the world, so they wanted to destroy her, to defile the purest things, in order to cover up their own filth and depravity."

"Has the criminal been caught?"

“That’s the strangest thing. After our investigation, we found that all the bastards who were involved in the incident have disappeared.” Li Xue seemed to be looking at the documents. She answered slowly: “The one who recently disappeared was the mastermind behind the incident. He was extremely dark-hearted. He used to be a chef, but he was stripped of his chef’s license for deliberately adding things to the food while working at a restaurant. In order to make a living, he started delivering food, which is how he met the victim.”

"He maliciously spread rumors and slandered others, causing serious consequences. In addition, he repeatedly attempted to add dangerous substances to takeout food, violating public security regulations. He was convicted of multiple crimes and sentenced to a relatively long term."

“People like him would normally register regularly after returning to the community, but one day, he suddenly disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead.”

Li Xue's words caught Han Fei's attention. The delivery ghost appeared in the deep world, and only the butterfly could do this.

But if the butterfly wanted to help the red dress get revenge, it should have let the red dress kill the delivery ghost, or rather, handed the delivery ghost over to the red dress to deal with, just like Han Fei helped Ying Yue.

But the butterfly didn't actually do that; it seems to have used the delivery ghost as a bargaining chip to control the large, resentful red dress.

"Human nature is just a pawn; everything is just a tool in the butterfly's eyes. The delivery ghost is its tool, and the red dress may just be a slightly stronger tool in its eyes."

Both Butterfly and Han Fei can maintain absolute rationality in many situations, but ultimately, they are two different kinds of people.

"Li Xue, besides the female anchor, have you found any information about another woman?"

“Many people jump to their deaths every year, but we have only found one person who fits your criteria. She also died on the night of April 4th, fourteen years ago.”
