My Healing Games

Chapter 321 Exorcising Evil

"April 4th again?" Han Fei felt that all the residents of the dead building were trapped on this day, endlessly repeating this tragedy, never waiting for dawn.

"That woman's name was Zhuang Wen, and the cause of her death was very complicated." Li Xue looked at the investigation results and took a deep breath. "Her biological mother was a fourth-tier horror film actress named Yuan Shuang. She was very beautiful, but her acting skills were mediocre, and most of the horror films she starred in received very low ratings. When she was preparing to change her career path, she suddenly developed mental problems, seemingly due to some kind of shock. She stopped acting and disappeared from the big screen. Not long after, she married a poor and ugly 'exorcist' with a very young girl in tow. That girl was Zhuang Wen."

"An exorcist?"

"Yes, that exorcist lived in his own imagined world and insisted on trying to restore Zhuang Wen's mother in his own way. After about five years, Zhuang Wen's mother's condition did not improve at all, and she passed away after giving birth to twins for the exorcist."

“Zhuang Wen witnessed everything, from the exorcists’ various superstitious claims to the various rituals performed on her mother. She saw it all, and her world became different from that of other children at a very young age.”

"After the woman died, the exorcist was in great pain. He gradually began to believe that the root of all the disasters lay with that unclear girl."

“In the exorcist’s house, only Zhuang Wen’s surname was different from theirs. As the twins grew up, they began to be hostile to Zhuang Wen, feeling that she was an outsider.”

"Zhuang Wen's temper became increasingly strange and unpredictable. Until one day, the exorcist suddenly stared at Zhuang Wen and said that she was possessed by a demon and had experienced the same thing as her mother."

"Zhuang Wen thought the exorcist only said that because he hated her, but later she realized that she was very wrong. The exorcist and his family of three really did treat her as a monster, an ominous, dangerous monster that needed to be exorcised."

"The girl's personality became increasingly extreme. She was not possessed by any ghosts, but people forced her to say that she was cursed."

“The atmosphere in their house was extremely strange. The exorcist and the twins were together, and they performed all sorts of ‘exorcisms’ on the girl without her permission.”

"The girl didn't know if she was possessed by a ghost, but she felt that the family of three was more wicked than a ghost."

"Zhuang Wen grew up in torment. She wanted to wait until she grew up to leave, but in this environment, her personality has become different from that of a normal person."

"Not only the exorcist family of three, but also the neighbors around her thought there was something wrong with her. Zhuang Wen had a hard time controlling her emotions. In fact, at that time, roaring and screaming were the last things she could do. Only by showing a very strong attitude could she prevent the exorcist and the twins from going any further."

"The conflict between the two sides is getting more and more intense. The exorcist doesn't hate Zhuang Wen. He is very stubborn and believes that the ghost that once trapped Zhuang Wen's mother has now moved on to Zhuang Wen herself."

"In order to completely exorcise the 'ghost' from Zhuang Wen, the exorcist locked her in the house at night while she was asleep, forbidding her from going out."

"Zhuang Wen's mental and physical condition was deteriorating, and this day was exactly one year before her death."

"No one knows what happened in the last year, because the neighbors never saw Zhuang Wen leave her house again, nor did they hear her hysterical roars again. What happened in that room in the last year became a mystery."

"A year later, Zhuang Wen died. In the same year, the exorcist family of three also died one after another, in the same way as Zhuang Wen."

After Li Xue finished speaking, she added, "Time is tight, and this is all the information we can find. I can send you more specific and detailed information. However, are you sure their deaths are also related to butterflies?"

"I just feel that their deaths are somewhat similar to the way butterflies kill people. I can't be sure for now, but I always feel that there is some kind of connection between them. I had a similar feeling when I was screening data on human body puzzle patterns." To increase his persuasiveness, Han Fei could only say this.

"It really is true. I feel like you are the butterfly's destined calamity."

“I think so too.” After hanging up the phone, Han Fei received the information that Li Xue had compiled, which recorded all the people who had harmed the female anchor and the ghost who jumped off the building.

After reviewing the documents, Han Fei re-entered the room.

He glanced at Zhuang Ren on the sofa and casually asked, "Director Zhuang, have you ever heard of a girl named Zhuang Wen?"

"No."

"Do you know Yuan Shuang? She is Zhuang Wen's mother."

“She looks familiar. I think she acted in a horror movie for me, but she doesn’t have any acting talent. No matter how I guide her, she can’t act well.” Zhuang Ren thought of that woman.

"Excuse me, what is your relationship with her? Why did Yuan Shuang name her daughter Zhuang Wen?"

"It really doesn't matter!" Zhuang Ren said with certainty, and Han Fei didn't ask any further questions. He turned his attention back to the game.

He went out to answer a phone call and stayed in the dead building for too long. After the four security guards in the security room finished telling their stories, they all turned into ghosts. They were the last ghost story, and together they killed the game character.

Start from the beginning of the map and then enter the dead building a second time.

Han Fei diligently memorized all the ghost stories the security guards told him, until they started talking about the red dress in room 1044, at which point Han Fei sensed something was wrong.

He stared intently at the screen and noticed that for every additional word the security guard spoke, the bathroom door would open a little wider.

The encounter in the Deep World greatly helped Han Fei, and he decisively left when he could freely control the characters.

He calculated the time in his mind, and a few minutes later he went back into the house. Three of the four security guards had already been killed.

The surviving security guard sat down in a pool of blood, with a long red dress standing behind him.

"It seems that what the old security guard said was just something that the butterfly instilled in him. If he were to actually do it, it would probably only delay his death."

When the red dress appeared, Han Fei's game character was also cursed by the 1044 room's death curse—he would die if he slept.

The security guards and the woman in the red dress had gone mad and charged at the game character at incredible speed. Han Fei watched helplessly as he was killed.

"The security guards are just normal NPCs in the building, but they seem to have other significance as well. It seems we can't let them die so quickly."

Han Fei is becoming increasingly skilled at starting over, and he can now reduce the completion time of all previous maps to less than an hour.

Zhuang Ren was stunned, watching Han Fei's skillful maneuvers and listening to the crackling sounds.

Han Fei has an incredibly powerful memory. He's become so proficient that he's even memorized the order and number of key presses. He doesn't even need to look at the map much anymore; he can just press the keys quickly.

Upon arriving at the security room again, Han Fei rushed into the restroom without saying a word and took off the red dress.

After receiving the Death Curse that would kill him if he slept, he grabbed the red dress and ran out of the security room, then rushed down to the first floor.

Let the girl in the red dress take down the delivery ghost first, and after building up her favorability, carry the deliveryman's body box on her back and take the girl in the red dress upstairs.

Using the deliveryman's delivery box to make a deal with the merchant, and after the merchant happily carries the delivery box containing the red dress home, Han Fei controls the game character to guard the stairwell.

Not long after, just when Han Fei thought the merchant was going to be killed, his door was opened and the merchant escaped.

Upon entering the merchant's room, Han Fei stuffed all the items he could into the takeout box, and then placed the paper money into a room he had never entered in the Deep World.

People die for money, birds die for food. When the merchant secretly returned, the miserly hoarder discovered that the money he had saved had been stuffed into other rooms.

The merchants began trying to enter those rooms, constantly provoking all sorts of ghosts and monsters. Han Fei controlled the game character to follow behind, memorizing the scene of each room and the people in it.
