My Healing Games

Chapter 353 The Crowded Red Elevator

Upon learning that he would be able to see his family, Zhuang Ren could not hide his excitement. He was like a husband pacing outside the delivery room, every second was agonizing for him.

"Before I meet your family, I must reiterate a few points. First, you cannot refuse whatever I ask you to do; second, I may abandon you if necessary, and I hope you are mentally prepared." Han Fei's expression was gloomy and terrifying, and he naturally exuded an aura of death. "Every move we make tonight is related to the lives of many innocent people. If you do anything without my permission, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

"I assure you, I will follow your instructions."

The stricter Han Fei's requirements were, the more reliable Zhuang Ren felt Han Fei was, and the more excited he became.

“You are too agitated right now. I suggest you calm down. Your wife and daughters are still alive, but they have become different from you. You should be prepared for them to turn into monsters.”

"Even if they turn into monsters, they will still be my family."

"But what if they want to kill you? Think about it carefully. You only have a chance to save them if you live." Han Fei kindly reminded the other person a few times before continuing to play the game.

He had memorized every step of the map before him, without even looking at the screen; his fingers moved like a high-speed machine.

Han Fei triggered an F-level quest before logging out of the game last night, and he had no idea what he would face when he logged back in.

To increase his chances of survival, he had to make more preparations.

Seeing that Han Fei was still "immersed" in the game, Zhuang Ren hesitated before speaking, "I mainly play this game to find my family. Anyway, you're taking me to meet my family tonight, so this game is of no use to me anymore. If you want it, I can give it to you."

"it is good."

"..." Zhuang Ren glanced at the new clothes he had changed into for meeting his family and forced a wry smile: "Aren't you going to say something?"

"Thank you."

Han Fei's attention was completely focused on the game. He controlled the game character to avoid countless traps and mechanisms, and found a way out among the vengeful ghosts and vengeful spirits.

After entering the fourth dead building and escaping from room 4144, Han Fei followed his memory and arrived at the elevator door on the fourteenth floor.

In the deep world, Han Fei had never ridden an elevator before, and he was very curious about it.

"To see the Soul Chaser's face in the Dead Tower game, you first need to trigger the Soul Chaser quest."

When the game character stopped next to the elevator, the numbers on the elevator display screen automatically began to change. The elevator car felt to Han Fei like a ravenous beast charging madly towards him.

"The Soul Chasers in the Deep World came here by elevator."

In the game, you can restart after your character dies. This time, Han Fei didn't dodge and just stood at the elevator door.

The blood-red number quickly changed to 14, and Han Fei squinted, staring intently at the television screen.

The silver-gray elevator doors slowly opened. There were no ghostly figures or bloodstains as expected. The elevator itself was normal, except for a woman standing facing the elevator wall in the corner.

She was facing away from the elevator entrance, wearing a bright red dress, barefoot, with a red flower-like anklet tied around her ankles.

Seeing such a bizarre scene, Zhuang Ren shut his mouth and stopped urging Han Fei.

"Is that all?" Han Fei looked very dissatisfied. He frowned as he stared at the TV screen, controlling his game character to stand between the elevator and the hallway.

"Why isn't there a Soul Chaser? What do I need to do to trigger the Soul Chaser's mission?" He went in and out of the elevator repeatedly, carefully trying various methods to trigger the mission.

"Are you trying to exploit a bug with Death?" Zhuang Ren was completely baffled by what Han Fei was doing. It seemed like he was courting death, yet it also seemed to have a strong purpose.

Han Fei ignored Zhuang Ren, his mind preoccupied with the problem, his eyes fixed on the woman in the elevator, memorizing every detail about her.

"Besides the little red flower that decorates the anklet, there is also a number tag and a key. Is that the key to her room? Or the key to her morgue? Normally, it is rare for someone to wear such a thin red chain on their ankle."

Han Fei got up and walked to the TV, trying to control the game character to adjust the view, but he couldn't see the numbers on the woman's anklet clearly.

"Ahem..." Zhuang Ren, now dressed in new clothes, coughed lightly twice and said somewhat casually, "The Dead Tower game is very realistic, but it's not that kind of game after all. Han Fei, why don't you take the game home and study it, and we'll go find my family first?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Han Fei make another astonishing move.

If it were him who came to play and found such a terrifying woman in the elevator, he would definitely stay far away. But Han Fei not only didn't leave, he ran into the elevator and walked around her, seemingly trying to pull her hair.

Zhuang Ren was at a loss for words to advise Han Fei. He had only known Han Fei for a few days, but he had witnessed Han Fei grow from a clueless newbie into the abnormal player who was now pulling ghost hair, recklessly courting death, and seemingly awakening strange attributes.

"Why can't I trigger the Soul Chaser quest?" Zhuang Ren couldn't understand Han Fei's anxiety at all. If he couldn't see the Soul Chaser's face, he would probably be killed by the Soul Chaser the next time he logged in.

Even if he's lucky and the Soul Chaser doesn't kill him, the headless gatekeeper in room 4044 will still behead him.

Previously, enemies rarely camped Han Fei's corpse after he logged off, making logging off a god-tier skill.

But last night he logged out of the game in front of the gatekeeper, and the next time he logs in, he'll still be in front of that gate.

What are door gods? They are deities who guard the door. As long as the door is still there, the door will not be moved casually.

Han Fei is now in a dead end, and it is already very impressive that he can still keep a calm mind and try various methods to break the deadlock.

"What step is missing? Could this woman who's been turning her back to me be the Soul Chaser? But in my memory, the Soul Chaser should be a man, someone connected to the tester who massacred the neighborhood years ago!"

As Han Fei stared intently at the woman in red, deep in thought, the elevator doors in the game slowly closed.

To Han Fei's surprise, his game character wasn't killed immediately by the door; he and the woman stood peacefully in the elevator.

"This is making me a little uncomfortable. Why doesn't she kill me?"

The elevator doors had already closed, and Han Fei tried pressing the buttons on the control panel, but the elevator didn't respond at all. Then, the woman who had been standing in the corner slowly turned around, but to Han Fei's surprise, although she had turned around, her back was still to him.

"Can't see her face? Could she really be a Soul Chaser?" Han Fei controlled his game character to move closer to her, trying to lift her long hair to see if there was a face underneath, but the other person didn't react at all.

He pressed the pick-up button again, repeatedly picking up items from the man in red, but he couldn't get anything.

"They didn't kill me either? And they didn't give me any warning? What's going on with this woman in red?"

No one touched the elevator buttons, but it suddenly started to descend. Mold-like things appeared on the edges of the car, which had been normal, and the silver-gray car gradually turned black. The woman in red's body also began to twist and contort.

"Does she really have no face?" After circling around her, Han Fei began to escalate his provocations. His intention was not to waste time; if he was killed, he could start over. But the woman in red remained unmoved.

Soon, the elevator stopped on the thirteenth floor.

The silver-gray elevator doors slowly opened, and a boy wearing bear pajamas appeared in the doorway. He stood with his back to the elevator, his head bowed, and his cute bear pajamas were completely stained red with blood.

The child's face was also obscured, and a thin chain was attached to his ankle with a number resembling a house number hanging from it.

The elevator doors closed, the boy stood in the doorway, the woman stood in the corner, and Han Fei was sandwiched in the middle.

The elevator in the dead building kept going down, stopping at each floor, and a faceless person would come up at each floor.

Gradually, Han Fei was squeezed into the middle of the elevator by those people, and at this moment the elevator stopped on the fourth floor.

The silver-gray elevator doors slowly opened, but no one came up to this floor. The area outside the elevator was empty, with nothing at all.

The elevator doors remained open, and the atmosphere inside the elevator car grew increasingly eerie. After about ten seconds, all the people dressed in red slowly raised their heads and turned around, seemingly looking at Han Fei together.

"What do you mean? Are you telling me to get off?"
