My Healing Games

Chapter 324 A Failed Work

The baby's remains were buried in the center of the room's balcony, covered with talismans and incantations.

It's clear that the homeowner viewed the tiny baby as a monstrous threat, the source of all calamities, and used every talisman to protect against it.

Why would a baby's skeleton be seen as a vengeful spirit? It must have only been a few weeks old, right?

Li Xue asked her colleagues to take the remains back for testing, while she used her phone to report the situation to her superiors.

As Han Fei slowly entered the living room, he looked at the cramped storage room, and all the information in his mind seemed to be linked together like chains.

"In order to exorcise evil spirits, the exorcist locked Zhuang Wen in the house and didn't let her go out for a whole year. Why did the 'exorcism' need to restrict her freedom and not let her leave? What exactly did Zhuang Wen go through during this year? Was the baby hidden under the floor tiles her child?"

The baby's remains under the floor tiles are the source of hatred. The ghost who jumped off the building in the deep world possessed a hatred strong enough to break through the resentment because of the baby's remains!
Even though her memories were fragmented, she could still tear her red dress to shreds multiple times. Hatred was the source of her power; it was everything to her.

This hatred had escaped the control of the ghost who jumped off the building; she became the cleaner of Building Number One, killing any living thing she saw. And she seemed to only appear half an hour after an outsider entered the building.

From these signs, it's not hard to see that the managers of the Dead Building can influence the ghosts who jump off buildings, or that the ghosts who jump off buildings will become like those in the Deep World. Behind this, the managers of the Dead Building are probably guiding them step by step, and the ghosts who jump off buildings are just one of their creations.

Looking at the smelly bedding on the single bed and at the chain, Han Fei felt a chill run down his spine.

Upon arriving at the room, he almost blurred the lines between reality and the game.

The room was filled with a sense of oppression, and Han Fei couldn't imagine how Zhuang Wen had lived in the storage room for a whole year.

"The deep world is a shadow of reality; how terrifying it is only shows how terrifying this world is."

Silently squatting on the ground, Han Fei and the others waited for about an hour.

Li Xue's colleague brought news that after testing and database comparison, it was discovered that the baby's mother was Zhuang Wen and the father was the exorcist's son.

As the investigation deepened, what surprised everyone even more was that the exorcist's son had actually seen the murderer who created the human body puzzle fourteen years ago—Meng Chang'an!

Their two completely different life trajectories intersected fourteen years ago!
Police now have access to a citizen database, and with the assistance of AI, they can instantly access any information that has ever existed or been recorded.

Fourteen years ago, in the period before his exorcist son died, he often donated money to the orphanage run by his biological father who was "crying". At the same time, Meng Chang'an, who was young at the time, also visited that orphanage.

Every seemingly coincidental detail in a murder case may conceal an underlying inevitability.

The police immediately identified the private orphanage and wanted to find out who was in the orphanage when Meng Chang'an and the exorcist's son appeared there fourteen years ago.

Meng Chang'an was lured by the butterfly, and the exorcist's son is very likely the same.

While the police were discussing the case, Han Fei, who was standing next to them, felt his hands and feet turn ice cold.

If the exorcist's son was seduced by the butterfly, given the butterfly's ruthlessness, it would do anything to achieve its goals.

Han Fei knew how crazy the butterfly was, and he had also played the Dead Building game and seen the scene in room 1244.

The exorcist and his children were all bound up, and the fact that all three of them received the same punishment suggests that they may have all done something very wrong to Zhuang Wen.

“The so-called ‘exorcism’ on Zhuang Wen only revealed the malice of people to the fullest extent. Based on the infant's remains and the time of Zhuang Wen's death, it is very likely that Zhuang Wen was already pregnant before, and as her figure gradually changed, she was locked in the storage room. This should be the real reason for the ‘exorcism’.” Li Xue presented a test report.

"Their evil might be more terrifying than you think." Han Fei's voice was low. He knew that the female anchor and Zhuang Wen died on the same day. April 4th was no coincidence; it must have been carefully chosen by Butterfly.

How could we make both victims choose to commit suicide on the same day?

Han Fei was not yet clear about the female anchor's situation, but he could roughly guess what was going on with Zhuang Wen.

If Zhuang Wen intended to die, why did she endure for so long without choosing death? Perhaps the exorcist family deceived her by using the baby, telling her that she could see the child once she recovered.

Zhuang Wen grew up with her ailing mother, and she probably didn't want her child to suffer the same fate, so she didn't choose to die in the first stage.

But on April 4th, someone in the exorcist's family finally told Zhuang Wen the truth: her child had not only been killed long ago, but had also been covered in talismans and buried somewhere as a calamity and omen of misfortune.

Upon learning this information, all of Zhuang Wen's wishful thinking turned into hatred. Having lost everything, she chose death.

The poor girl is no longer in the human world; only the monster that failed to break through hatred in the deeper world—the ghost who jumped off the building—remains.

Han Fei felt that this was the truth, based on the butterfly's precise understanding of human nature.

"Everything was destroyed, and in the end, it was just a failure. All the pain and suffering during that time were completely ignored, and even despair was used as a tool."

In Butterfly's eyes, the ghost who jumped off the building was just a failed product; otherwise, the other party would not have created Xiao Ba. Han Fei was well aware of this.

Han Fei slowly clenched his fists, a strong killing intent rising within him towards the butterfly: "If I don't catch the butterfly soon, tragedies like the one involving the ghost who jumped off the building will continue to happen. That inhuman guy is capable of anything."

Having figured out everything about the ghost who jumped off the building, Han Fei said goodbye to the police and returned to Pear Blossom Community, preparing to use the last bit of time to continue his game strategy.

But just as he cleared the previous map and arrived at the Dead Building map, Huang Ying suddenly called.

"Han Fei! Feng Ziyu has disappeared!"

"Missing? Did you call the police?" Han Fei didn't expect Huang Ying to release such a bombshell right off the bat.

“The police already know, and they are investigating.” Huang Ying’s voice sounded off: “I have a very bad feeling right now. Feng Ziyu may have been targeted by the Butterfly. He sent me a message the night he lost contact, saying that he has been having the same dream lately, feeling like there are other people by his bedside, and he hopes I can be careful too.”

"Send me the information he sent you directly, without missing anything!" Feng Ziyu had a close relationship with the tester who was driven mad. He was also the only surviving tester who had entered the Shallow World Death Tower. However, he was good at protecting himself and always kept to himself. Few people knew of his existence.

Huang Ying sent the message to Han Fei, and upon seeing the first sentence of the message, Han Fei gasped.

"I've been having the same dream lately: I'm walking out into the darkness, and a voice tells me that the exit is just ahead."

"I couldn't wake up, I could only keep walking forward, and finally I saw a door in the depths of darkness."

"After opening the door, the other side led to an apartment building. All the apartment numbers in the building started with the number '4', and the room I walked out of seemed to be number 4444."
