My Healing Games

Chapter 517 No acting skills, just pure emotion (6000 votes, please vote)
Ripples appeared on the sea of ​​blood. Han Fei looked into the depths of the Ghost Gate, concentrating his attention to recall Bai Xian's appearance.

The soul bell rang, the soul banners in the Death Tower trembled, and paper figures opened their eyes.

The ripples were slowly expanding, and a large, dark shadow was rising from the bottomless sea of ​​blood!
The ghostly faces in the air were startled and flew away in all directions, while wounds instantly appeared on Han Fei's fingers that were reaching for the Ghost Gate.

"No! This is definitely not Bai Xian!"

A massive shadow was about to emerge from the sea of ​​blood when Han Fei waved his blood-stained arm and immediately stopped using his talent.

Press and hold the Soul Bell, and the blood vessels on the attribute panel will rapidly disappear, while the Ghost Gate for summoning souls will slowly close.

Han Fei took several steps back, leaning against the wall as he looked at his bleeding hand: "What was that thing?"

Han Fei's first attempt at summoning spirits failed; he almost summoned something from beneath the sea of ​​blood.

Just thinking about the aura of that shadowy place made his heart race uncontrollably: "With only 30 points of stamina, if I forcibly summon the thing under the sea of ​​blood, I'm afraid that before it even comes out, I'll be unable to withstand the pressure and my soul will be scattered."

Han Fei took a piece of meat from his inventory and swallowed it in large gulps. After his health was restored, he opened the attribute panel again.

"Since my talent for summoning spirits was improved, I can use it twice every night. It doesn't matter if I fail the first time, I still have one more chance."

Han Fei carefully considered the reason for the failed soul summoning, which might be related to the fact that Bai Xian himself had not been tainted by much yin energy: "Both soul summoning attempts were used on the same person. This is a privilege that even Huang Ying has never enjoyed. I can say that I have done right by Bai Xian."

Taking a deep breath, Han Fei once again used his soul-summoning talent: "Bai Xian went out with me twice. The first time was to an abandoned plastic surgery hospital, where the air was thick with yin energy; the second time was just now, when he brushed past the painter and the white shoes. Logically speaking, he should also be considered a witness to paranormal phenomena, someone who has already encountered ghosts."

Blood streaks crawled across the attribute panel, the Gate of Hell opened again, and Han Fei stared intently at the sea of ​​blood, gently shaking the soul-guiding bell left by the butterfly.

"Bai Xian!"

After Bai Xian's appearance appeared in his mind, a huge red ghost face suddenly crashed into the sea of ​​blood in mid-air, its mouth full of fangs biting down on something in the sea of ​​blood.

When the demonic face leaped out of the sea of ​​blood, a small white snake appeared in its mouth.

Almost the instant the ghost face left the sea of ​​blood, it merged with the little snake, and the white snake also became a blurry soul, which was forcibly carried into the gate of hell.

"Oh!"

The blood-red gate to the underworld slowly closed; the summoning of the soul had succeeded this time!

Sitting on the ground, Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief. With the help of the mist, he could roughly sense Bai Xian's location.

"I'm too close to Da Nie, I'd better go and help him."

Donning the beast-face mask, Han Fei changed into a clean security guard uniform, pushed open the door, and walked downstairs.

In room 4403, Bai Xian, dressed in casual clothes, sat on the floor with his mouth half open and his eyes wide open, as if he had even forgotten to breathe.

"What do you mean?"

Bai Xian put down the book "An Actor Prepares" in his hand, got up from the ground, and looked at the ground covered with paper money and the walls covered with all kinds of strange plants.

"I just turned on the TV, how come my house is gone?"

With uncertainty in mind, Bai Xian touched the wall; the realistic feel of it was nothing like playing a game.

"Did I trigger some hidden quest? This room feels a bit eerie?"

Bai Xian tried his best to calm himself down: "I saw on the internet that there are Easter eggs everywhere in 'Perfect Life'. As long as you look carefully, you will have a different gaming experience. Could it be that I've won the lottery?"

Bai Xian gently pinched the plant on the wall with two fingers, trying to figure out what it was, when he suddenly heard footsteps.

Has the homeowner arrived?

Bai Xian opened the door and looked outside; the cold, dark corridor was deserted.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Bai Xian slowly moved his feet, he really didn't understand why there would be such a scene in a game that was supposed to be about healing.

"There's paper money scattered on the ground; I must have stumbled upon a sad little story." Bai Xian took a few steps forward and suddenly saw a figure: "Is it a quest NPC?"

Bai Xian quickened his pace and crossed the corridor. He was about to greet the person when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Generally speaking, it's understandable for an adult to scatter paper money in the stairwell, since they may have experienced something wrong at home and want to mourn their family members.

But this was the first time Bai Xian had ever seen a grown man bending over and carefully picking up paper money from the ground!
He wasn't mistaken; the person in front of him stuffed all the paper money in the stairwell into his own arms.

How so? Can paper money be recycled? Or can it be spent?

Bai Xian felt like he had encountered a fool, and in such a strange environment, he was not too willing to get close to the other person.

He remained where he was, but the adult man who was picking up the paper money followed the path of the paper money on the ground and slowly walked towards him.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Xian quickly ran in the opposite direction.

"What's going on? Is this a mission to care for people with disabilities?" With all sorts of questions in mind, Bai Xian didn't pay attention to his feet and accidentally kicked something.

Looking down, I saw an altar lying on the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Bai Xian apologized to the altar repeatedly. He bent down to straighten the altar, but just as his hand was about to touch it, he suddenly saw a pair of shoes on the altar.

Looking up, a tall, thin man dressed in a black coat, exuding an ominous aura, was squatting on the altar.

"Just looking at you annoys me, you disgusting guy." The man's tone was filled with strong disgust.

"I was going to apologize to you, but since you've said that, then don't blame me..." Bai Xian took out a tattered bandage from his inventory, wrapped it around his fingers, and then looked up only to find that he could only see the other person's chest.

Bai Xian continued to look up and saw the other person's elongated neck. When his head was tilted up to 120 degrees, he finally saw the man's face pressed against the ceiling.

"WTF?"

The bandages wrapped around his hands dangled to the ground, and Bai Xian even forgot how he was supposed to run.

"Don't blame me for anything?" The head pressed against the top of the corridor pulled down closer, and Li Zai's face was stretched in front of Bai Xian, his body bent at an incredible angle.

Bai Xian felt his mind was completely blank. He remembered that "Perfect Life" was indeed a casual lifestyle game!
Blood trickled down Li Zai's neck, and the skin on his chest tore open little by little.

Bai Xian couldn't help but look in that direction. Good heavens! He had just watched an unboxing video with Han Fei a few days ago, and now he was going to experience an unboxing for the second time!

The skin on Li Zai's chest tore open to both sides, revealing another human face inside his body!
"I can't suppress my brother anymore! Your stench has woken him up!" Li Zai roared, and two arms made of resentment emerged from his chest. Li Zai's younger brother crawled out of his chest and abdomen.

Throughout the entire process, Bai Xian stood still, not just greatly shocked, but completely stunned.

In that critical moment, a slender arm suddenly reached out and pulled Bai Xian towards the other side of the corridor.

Li Zai's younger brother chased after him, letting out a piercing howl, like a wild beast out of control.

After being led a long way, Bai Xiancai suddenly let out a scream. He recovered from his fear and started running forward as fast as he could.

Holding the girl's hand, Bai Xian followed her as she rushed up several floors until the screams stopped, at which point he slowed down.

Her gaze swept over the child who had just rescued her; it was a very cute and quiet little girl, wearing an adorable little dress.

"Thank you for saving me, that was really dangerous!" Bai Xian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his lips trembling.

The girl didn't say anything, but just pulled him and continued running uphill.

At first, Bai Xian did not resist, but gradually he realized that something was wrong.

The girl in front of him was at most seven or eight years old, but he hadn't been able to catch up with her when he was running uphill with all his might.

As an actor, Baek Hyun has always paid close attention to his physical condition, and his physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people.

"Um... little sister, could you stop for a moment?" Bai Xian asked softly.

The girl in front was very well-behaved and stopped quickly. She turned her head to look at Bai Xian.

When Bai Xian saw the girl's face, he first breathed a long sigh of relief, because the girl was very cute, not the kind of scary face he had imagined.

But he immediately had another question: the girl's eyes were covered with a black cloth, so how could she see the road clearly?

"Little girl, with your eyes covered by a blindfold, can you see the road ahead clearly?" After Bai Xian finished speaking, the girl stopped on the steps.

She seemed to find Bai Xian's question very strange. Does being blindfolded mean you can't see the road?

Tilting her head towards Bai Xian, the kind girl seemed to be trying to tell him the answer, and she gently raised her hand.

Eyes opened on the walls and ceiling of the corridor, all those dark eyes fixed on Bai Xian.

His legs went weak instantly, and Bai Xian's scalp tingled. He didn't even know how he fell down the stairs. All he knew was that after he landed, every cell in his body was screaming for his life.

Using both hands and feet, Bai Xian scrambled and crawled toward the stairwell next to him.

"Help! Help!"

The heart-wrenching cries for help echoed throughout the dead building. Bai Xian finally broke free from the shackles of his inner emotions. The despair he revealed at this moment was far more real than the one he portrayed in "The Suspense Novelist".

"Help me! Help me!"

In the eerie corridor, a faint mist still hung in the air. Bai Xian had no idea where to run, but he really didn't dare to stop.

Faint sobs drifted in his ears, and peering eyes peered out from behind the door. Bai Xian had never cried so sadly in his life.

"This game is full of false advertising; it's all a sly smile hiding a dagger, a gentle breeze concealing a sharp edge."

After regaining his composure, Bai Xian opened the attribute panel: "I was so confused by opening boxes that I forgot this was a game."

His gaze slid downwards: "As soon as I log out of the game, I'll immediately file a complaint about this..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Xian scrolled to the bottom of the attribute panel, tilted his head, and said with his mouth slightly open, "Is something missing from this attribute panel?"

After watching it repeatedly, and then again, on the fifth time, Bai Xian finally confirmed that he hadn't misread it—the game exit button on his attribute panel was gone!
"Fuck!"

Bai Xian had sworn out more profanities in the past six months than he had in this half hour.

Where's my exit button?!

Bai Xian broke out in a cold sweat. He seemed to understand why the game had all positive reviews. It turned out that the people who gave negative reviews couldn't find the exit button!
Standing frozen in place, Bai Xian felt as if he had been abandoned by the world.

The crying grew louder and louder, and in the distance, it seemed as if a figure was rushing towards them through the mist.

Hearing the pitiful cries and seeing the figure getting closer and closer, Bai Xian felt as if death was beckoning to him.

He didn't know where to run, and when he turned around, he saw the door to the room behind him.

With a determined effort, he opened the door and went inside.

Adjusting his breathing, Bai Xian, after all, was a top actor who had been in the acting industry for more than ten years. He hid in the dark room behind him, pressed his body against the door, and covered his mouth and nose with his hands.

"Absolutely no sound must be made!"

Holding his breath, Bai Xian's heart pounded in sync with the footsteps outside. He clenched his teeth, forgetting everything else and completely immersed in the fear.

In a life-or-death struggle, only by avoiding the ghosts outside can one think about the next step.

Bai Xian didn't make a sound, but he heard strange noises coming from behind him.

In this critical moment of being chased by ghosts, any sound could give away his presence. Bai Xian frowned and looked behind him.

As Bai Xian turned his head, his gaze shifted, and he saw a black devil nearly five meters long lying in the living room behind him!

The ugliness and grotesqueness were indescribable; it lurked in the darkness, and it was more terrifying than the darkness itself.

Bai Xian was suffocating, and his entire life began to flash through his mind.

"I still didn't become a movie star..."

An extremely ugly and terrifying black giant ghost pressed forward, and at that moment the door behind Bai Xian was pulled open.

The light shone on Bai Xian's face, and he saw a person wearing a beast-face mask whose figure was somewhat familiar.

"Don't stay in this room."

A vaguely familiar voice came from nearby. Just as the masked man was about to remove his mask and approach, the five-meter-long monster suddenly accelerated and crashed into the masked man!
He nearly spat blood onto Bai Xian's face as he watched the masked man being knocked away by the monster, and he completely broke down.

Howling, he charged toward the end of the mist, releasing all the emotions that had been building up inside him. He screamed for help hysterically, perfectly embodying despair.

You can't see any acting skills in him; it's all overflowing with emotion.

"Quick, quick! Stop him!"

Han Fei, holding the beast-face mask, got up from the ground. He really didn't expect Da Nie to be so enthusiastic. He rushed out as soon as he heard his voice. He was indeed a pet with a loyalty of 90%.

Taking a pig's heart cooked by Xu Qin from his inventory, Han Fei chewed the cooked meat with gusto, replenishing his blood while chasing after Bai Xian.

"Brother Bai!"

"Don't come here!"

"It's me! Don't run away!"

"Don't come over here!"

Bai Xian ran to the window at the end of the corridor, smashed the windowpane with his elbow, and looked out at the city shrouded in darkness.

At this point, he had broken free from the constraints of acting and rediscovered his simplest and most authentic self. Under these circumstances, he had to make his final choice.

"In the end, I still failed to become..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a woman fall from the window. The woman who jumped had a strange expression on her face. As she "passed" by him, she even gave him a push, making him move away from the window.

"I was pushed back by a woman who jumped off a building?"

This complicated relationship caused Bai Xian's brain to shut down again. He stared blankly at the window until the woman who had jumped off the building jumped out of the window again. At that moment, his mental state reached its limit, and he fainted.

"Brother Bai!" Han Fei finished the pig's heart that Xu Qin had cooked for him in a few bites, first thanked Zhuang Wen outside the window, and then helped Bai Xian up: "It's over, he probably won't wake up for a while."

Feng Ziyu and the security guards from the dead building also ran out, each carrying paper figures or something, but they were of no use at all.

"It seems we need to lower the difficulty of the entertainment activities we prepare for players in the future." When Han Fei touched Bai Xian, he also saw Bai Xian's attributes. He finally understood why Li Zai disliked Bai Xian.

Looking at the seemingly ordinary Bai Xian, his luck value was as high as 10. His initial luck value was 8. In the game, he also married a hidden NPC who could improve player attributes and obtained a status called "Blessing of Love", which increased his luck value by one.

Most importantly, he somehow found an extremely rare E-grade ring item—the Nameless Hero. Wearing this ring would prevent him from gaining reputation, but would grant him a bit of luck.

Bai Xian didn't really grind for levels; he just logged in at night to relax, but even so, he still reached level thirteen. If Tie Nan knew this, he'd probably be furious.

Aside from luck, his other attributes are quite average, but Bai Xian's account actually has two talents.

The first talent is called Acting Mastery, Grade D. Possessing this talent will grant you outstanding acting skills.

The second talent is called Lucky Guy, a B-level talent. Having this talent means you'll always encounter good things.

Looking at the ring on Bai Xian's finger, Han Fei felt a little envious. He and a group of neighbors formed a circle, and everyone came over to see the lucky winner.

"Luck is the hardest attribute to improve, and he actually has ten points? No wonder even when I used the Soul Bell, I had to summon his soul twice to bring him here. The second time, a ghost face rushed into the sea of ​​blood and forcibly pulled him out."

Compared to the environment of the Dead Tower, Bai Xian does seem out of place. The five players Han Fei encountered before didn't have as high a luck value as Bai Xian.

"What's the use of having a high luck stat? He's still lying on the ground, even more unlucky than the other unlucky guys I've seen before!" Li Zai disliked Bai Xian, as if the aura emanating from Bai Xian was very unfriendly to him.

“He does seem more unlucky than the others. Could it be…” Han Fei stroked his chin, a possibility forming in his mind: “Could it be that meeting me has used up all his luck?”

"Haha." Haha walked over and gave a perfunctory laugh: "Let's get him to a safe place first. The plastic surgery hospital's hatred could come at any time, and the Dead Building is their primary target."

Han Fei wanted to log off, but besides completing a task, he also needed to stay online for three hours. Since there was still plenty of time before the three hours were up, Han Fei decided to return to Happiness Community first, leaving Wei Youfu and Meng Shi to take care of Bai Xian.

"Don't worry, I consider Bai Xian a brother."

Calling out to Ku and Yingyue, Han Fei carried Bai Xian away from the Death Tower.

"When Huang Ying came, he also drank the porridge cooked by Meng Shi. Her cozy little house really can give people strength." Han Fei thought about how to explain it to Bai Xian as he walked. He had made many arrangements at the beginning, but Bai Xian ran too fast and even rushed into the room where Da Nie was hiding.

In this dead-end building with so many rooms, this player with a luck stat of 10 managed to interact with every single neighbor. Could this be a sign from the god of fortune? Should he greet his colleagues and family first?

Having not returned to Xingfu Community for a long time, Han Fei felt a deep sense of warmth when he saw the lights on in Building No. 1.

Carrying Bai Xian on his back, he knocked on Meng Shi's door. The old lady was waiting inside for her child to come home, just like before.

The previous building manager tampered with Meng Shi's soul, making her forget all her pain.

Throughout the entire Happiness Community, everyone else chose to face their fate head-on, fighting with all their might, trying to reach the end of the darkness to find the light.

Only Meng Shi and her grandson chose to stay in the community, guarding the last light in the neighborhood.

Actually, this is quite good. No matter how far Han Fei and his group explore, as long as they come back, there will still be a glimmer of light in the neighborhood.

"Grandma, this man is called Bai Xian. He's been entrusted to your care. The process will be the same as when you took care of Huang Ying last time." Han Fei was also standing by. Judging from Bai Xian's performance in the Dead Building, Bai Xian had now broken free from the constraints of his emotions and released all the feelings that had been building up inside him. With just a little guidance, his acting skills could reach a new level.

"Although the process was a bit quick, I have already helped Brother Bai fulfill his wish. Now it's my turn to ask for his opinion."

Meng Shi went into the kitchen to cook porridge. Her grandson placed the bowls and chopsticks on the table, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere. Even the lights in the room seemed to carry a warm glow.

There was a knock on the door. Upon learning that Han Fei had returned, Wei Youfu also brought Xiao Ba downstairs to visit.

The injuries on the victim's body, which was part of the human body mosaic pattern, have almost healed. Xiao Ba has become much more cheerful, holding a small flowerpot in her hands, which seems to be her most treasured possession.

"You're back." Wei Youfu greeted Han Fei with a smile, as naturally as if he were reuniting with his family during the Chinese New Year.

Thank you, leader of the alliance! Thank you, leader of the alliance!
