My Healing Games

Chapter 415 Midnight Selfie

Han Fei, with only one drop of blood left in the Deep World, would only cause trouble for his neighbors, as they would have to be distracted to protect him. So, after staying for three hours, he found a safe room and logged off.

The neighbors seemed to have gotten used to it. Knowing that Han Fei was about to leave, Ying Yue, who was holding the fish tank, and the one-eyed firefly stood guard at Han Fei's door.

They will wait until Han Fei reappears, and will not leave for any reason.

As the crimson light descended, Han Fei could clearly feel a dampness on his back as his consciousness faded, as if something was pressed against his body back to back.

The bloodied man finally came to his side, but did not harm him for the time being.

In the direction of the plastic surgery hospital, Ge Sheng sat listlessly on the roof, holding the old man's head. Notably, the old man's eyes were open, and he was looking at Han Fei with a familiar yet unsettling gaze.

The world frozen in blood is a very special experience; it seems to happen in an instant, or it seems to stretch time infinitely.

Before he could even take a closer look, Han Fei had already logged out of the game.

After removing his gaming helmet, Han Fei found his back soaked in cold sweat; he hadn't felt this kind of instinctive fear in a long time.

"The bloody people behind me, the songs, the fragments of Fu Sheng's memories, the plastic surgery hospital—there's still so much I have to face."

Taking off his shirt, Han Fei rubbed his temples: "There is no safe place in the deep world. It feels like a whirlpool. The deeper you explore, the more you are entangled in the dark despair."

Han Fei can no longer turn back. He has chosen his path and can only move forward, even though he knows that an abyss lies ahead.

After climbing out of the gaming pod, Han Fei searched for information about Xia Yilan and Xia Yi online and even joined the two celebrities' fan groups.

They both possess stunning beauty and have similar names, but the atmosphere in their fan clubs is completely different.

Xia Yilan's ten fan groups were all full, and the atmosphere was still lively at 3 a.m. as everyone prepared for the next day's activities and various forms of support.

Xia Yi only has one fan support group, and it wasn't even created by Xia Yi herself. It was spontaneously established by some people who mourned her after her passing.

No one believes that such a cute and beautiful girl would make the most extreme choice. Many people in the group still refuse to read Xia Yi's last update.

The group leader of the fan club is a middle-aged woman in her forties. Her own profession has nothing to do with the entertainment industry, and she is not Xia Yi's agent.

The woman worked in end-of-life care services, and the first person she served was her own seriously ill daughter.

The early death of her daughter is a thorn in her heart, which may be why she likes Xia Yi.

She and Xia Yi had known each other for a long time, and they even lived in the same neighborhood.

The woman saw her own daughter reflected in Xia Yi, while Xia Yi, whose parents had died in an accident ten years ago, found long-lost love in that woman.

After Xia Yi's death, the woman was almost devastated and posted everywhere saying that Xia Yi could not have committed suicide and that there must be something that needed to be investigated.

Unfortunately, under Liuguang's control, no one believed her words; even the dead were subject to her insults.

Although three months have passed and many netizens who had been criticizing her have long forgotten about the incident, the woman has not been able to move on.

Han Fei memorized all the information about Xia Yi in the group and then went to find the group owner.

He claimed to be a fan of Xia Yi and said that Liu Guang had driven Xia Yi to her death, and he even listed some evidence.

After seeing the message Han Fei sent, the gentle middle-aged woman invited him to a voice call at four o'clock in the morning. This was the first time this woman, who had lived an ordinary life, had been so angry.

"Are they even human?!"

"They're just wearing a human skin." Han Fei told his older sister what he knew, but he repeatedly told her not to act rashly, as this matter required cooperation with the police.

After gaining the eldest sister's trust, Han Fei began to ask her some in-depth questions, not only about Xia Yi, but also about her parents.

The group admin didn't know much about Xia Yi's parents either, only that they worked at a plastic surgery hospital in the far suburbs of Xinhu, often working night shifts, and didn't care much about Xia Yi.

To her surprise, even with a completely free-range environment, Xia Yi became an outstanding child.

Intelligent, hardworking, beautiful, confident, and optimistic, she seems to possess all the best qualities in the world, just like an incredibly dazzling diamond.

The eldest sister had noticed Xia Yi in the neighborhood a long time ago, and she had fantasized countless times that Xia Yi would be her daughter.

Despite her parents' lack of discipline, Xia Yi excelled academically, with her walls covered in various certificates of merit. She also had a wide range of hobbies, including dancing, singing, and playing musical instruments.

This child was the quintessential "other people's child," but unfortunately, his good fortune didn't last.

Since Xia Yi's parents passed away unexpectedly, Xia Yi has been completely immersed in helplessness and grief. She no longer tries, no longer finds happiness, and her eyes have lost their light. Perhaps the only thing that hasn't changed is her beauty.

With the combined care of that woman and the community's support, Xia Yi slowly emerged from despair and began to live a serious life.

The group leader had been with Xia Yi all along as she grew up. She thought she was the one who understood Xia Yi the most, but who could have imagined that the child would suddenly leave?

To provide Han Fei with more assistance, the group admin also sent him all the photos she had taken with Xia Yi, as well as some information Xia Yi had left behind.

Those words also show that Xia Yi is indeed a very perfect person. She possesses all the good qualities of humanity. If such a child grows up smoothly, she will definitely become a leader in her field.

"Personality alteration?"

As Han Fei looked at the information Xia Yi left behind, his mind kept replaying the personality transformation technology developed by Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals. At first, he thought it was far-fetched, but after seeing Xia Yi's life story, he vaguely felt that it might actually exist.

"She is truly perfect, like a flawless work of art."

If Xia Yi possessed all the fine qualities, Han Fei felt that the maniacal laughter in his mind was the exact opposite.

"Huh?" Han Fei, who was looking through the photos, suddenly noticed something strange: "Group owner, could you send me Xia Yi's last few selfies according to the dates they were taken?"

"Did you find anything?" The group admin was still immersed in grief.

"All of Xia Yi's selfies seem to have unintentionally captured a clock in her house, and the clock always shows twelve o'clock." Han Fei looked at all the photos. Xia Yi started taking photos at twelve o'clock every day starting a week before her death. There was a clock in all the photos. Some were unintentionally reflected on the TV screen, and some were reflected in a mirror. In any case, you could see her clock in her house.

More importantly, based on the lighting and the view outside the window, Han Fei discovered that one of the seven selfies was not taken at noon, but at midnight.

Han Fei wanted to find out how many days after her death the photo was taken at midnight, and what exactly happened that day.

"The one at midnight was the last photo she took before she passed away." After organizing the photos, the older sister sent them to Han Fei again in chronological order.

"That's a bit strange." Han Fei narrowed his eyes as he carefully examined the last selfie.

Xia Yi's expression didn't change much in the photo, and the arrangement of items in the room was fine, except for one place that was rather unusual.

"Xia Yi has no children and has never participated in any activities to help young children, so why are there children's shoes in her room? And not just one pair, but only one?"

Han Fei zoomed in on the last photo, a picture taken by Xia Yi with her back to the living room door, showing a small, pure white shoe lying in the entryway behind her.

"Yes! But what do these shoes prove?"

"The child's shoes didn't fall from the shoe cabinet. The toes of the shoes are pointing directly at Xia Yi, making it look like a child is standing in her entryway. Could someone have placed them there on purpose? Are there other people in her house?" Han Fei muttered to himself, startling the group leader.

"You mean Xia Yi might have been murdered? Was it done by those beasts called Liuguang?"

"It's too early to draw conclusions. I'll hand these materials over to the police and let them take a look." Han Fei's first thought was to seek help from the police, after all, this was a serious murder case, and he was just a small actor with a little bit of brute strength.

"You sound familiar with the police? Are you a police officer?" the group admin exclaimed excitedly.

"It's not convenient to talk about it right now. You need to be careful and stay away from Xia Yi's house for the time being." Han Fei hung up the phone after saying that. He felt that things were starting to get complicated.

After organizing the information and deductions about Xia Yi, Han Fei handed them over to the police at five o'clock in the morning. The police officers on duty praised Han Fei for his dedication.

After daybreak, Han Fei ate something quickly and headed to the meat processing plant's residential compound.

The final scenes of "The Suspense Novelist" have been completed, and now he will prepare to participate in the film festival as an actor.
