My Healing Games

Chapter 58 Three Key Questions

"He Shouye, who hated children, later became the director of an orphanage. He personally funded the adoption of a large number of abandoned infants and orphans, which is extremely abnormal and terrifying. We were very curious as to why He Shouye made such a decision. In order to understand the process of his psychological distortion, we conducted a personality simulation experiment." Li Xue mentioned a term that Han Fei had never heard of before on the phone—personality simulation experiment.

“We tried hundreds of models and finally concluded that He Shouye’s decision to become the director of the welfare home despite his extreme aversion to children was due to some external stimulus.”

"On the advice of several criminal psychology experts, we sorted through all of He Shouye's notes and belongings and eventually discovered some problems."

"After his child died, He Shouye was like a completely different person. His tone of voice, his preferences, and his personality were all different from before."

"He began reading extensively about the spiritual world and philosophy. He often locked himself in his room and would occasionally go out alone late at night, giving the impression that he was searching for something?"

“We visited several children who grew up in the orphanage. Most of the children had a very good impression of the director and were very grateful for the director’s care. However, a small number of children found the director to be strange and would often ask them questions that they could not understand.”

"For example, have you ever dreamed of someone standing by your bed in the middle of the night, seen a black box in your dream, or dreamed of a butterfly landing on your head, etc."

"He Shouye seems to be looking for a special child. He has been searching for a long time but has not found one, so he wants to create a child that meets his requirements. This child should be the number eight victim in the human body puzzle pattern."

"Nobody knows what his criteria are? And nobody knows why a murdered child would qualify?"

"He seemed to be performing some kind of ritual, or as if he was being guided by something."

“Throughout the process of his personality transformation, one word appeared significantly more frequently in his notes: butterfly.”

"In the latter part of his life, the butterfly represented not only a creature, but also a symbol."

"The same thing happened to Meng Changxi. We searched Meng Changxi's belongings and some hidden information. Before he disappeared, Meng Changxi, like He Shouye, was also reading a lot of books about the human brain and was obsessed with butterflies, constantly searching for them."

"In other words, there is something in common between Meng Changxi and He Shouye, and the butterfly is the bridge connecting the two of them."

Hearing this, Han Fei couldn't help but interrupt Li Xue: "Meng Changxi has been missing for so long. Is it possible that his belongings and the information he left behind are forged? Or that someone else deliberately framed him?"

Han Fei had met Meng Shi, and he knew that the person who was truly obsessed with those books and seduced by butterflies was not Meng Changxi, but Meng Chang'an.

"It's very difficult to forge relics. First, he would have to imitate Meng Changxi's handwriting, and he would also have to know all of Meng Changxi's social media account passwords. The most crucial point is, who would spend years arranging all of this?"

“If I were the real culprit, I would do these things. If things are exposed, this will be my way out.” Han Fei didn’t want to beat around the bush and lowered his voice to say, “Compared to Meng Changxi, you should really pay more attention to Meng Chang’an. That guy who looks the most harmless might even dare to kill his adoptive mother.”

Just as Han Fei finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sound behind him.

He reacted very quickly, but even so, when he turned his head to look, he only saw a beverage bottle rolling around the corner of the old street.

"Someone?" Han Fei hadn't been reading books for nothing these past few days. He didn't show any change on the surface, but he said into his phone, "Li Xue, someone seems to be following me. He probably overheard what I was saying."

"where are you now?"

“At the entrance of the filming location of ‘Flowers of Evil,’ the families of the victims of the human body mosaic pattern are also here.”

"Don't go home yet, come straight to the North Street New World Shopping Mall. There are lots of people there, I'll be right there."

"it is good."

Han Fei hung up the phone nonchalantly and didn't take any transportation. He leisurely headed to the mall as usual.

The feeling of being followed didn't come. Han Fei wandered around the mall for a long time but couldn't find Li Xue. It wasn't until it was almost dark that he received another call from Li Xue.

Several police officers kept an eye on Han Fei through surveillance cameras, and everything seemed normal.

Han Fei did not meet with the police, and the police did not misunderstand Han Fei because of this situation. On the contrary, they unanimously decided to strengthen the protection of Han Fei.

As a relatively unknown comedian, Han Fei had never been followed before. This time, he experienced firsthand what it felt like for big stars to be followed and photographed, except that while the ones following others were paparazzi, the ones following him were likely wanted criminals.

After buying enough food for a week at the mall and also purchasing several large locks, Han Fei returned to his rented room.

After closing the door, Han Fei ate a simple meal and then added new locks to the door and windows.

"It should be safe now."

He placed the various self-defense items he had ordered online beside him, practiced the fighting moves taught by Li Xue again, and then began to look through the books he had bought online, all of which Meng Chang'an had read when he was young.

It wasn't until almost midnight that he rubbed his eyes and put down the book.

"Among the questions He Shouye asked the children, there are two that need attention: one is whether they dreamed of the black box, and the other is whether they dreamed of butterflies landing on people's heads."

Li Xue doesn't play games and doesn't know about the Easter eggs related to the black box in "Perfect Life," but Han Fei is different; he had just talked about it with Huang Ying.

"Is that butterfly also looking for the black box in my head? But the game 'Perfect Life' didn't even exist ten years ago. Could it be that the black box came first, and then the game 'Perfect Life' came into being?"

"Could it be that He Shouye and his group are targeting orphans and abandoned babies because they're looking for someone who can carry out the black box?"

Han Fei looked at the gaming helmet on the table. There was one piece of information he had never told Li Xue: he was also an orphan.

However, he did not grow up in the North Street Welfare Home in the old city of Xinhu, but in a place called Xingfu Welfare Home in the old city.

The welfare home he lived in once gave him a sense of home. Every year during festivals, it was very lively, and everyone around him was happy and joyful. They were like a family. But from a certain point in time, everything changed.

"I haven't even made you laugh yet, and I've already lost my own smile. Life is truly full of surprises and hardships."

After connecting all the cables, Han Fei cleared his mind of distractions and put on his gaming helmet as midnight approached.

As blood descended, the world in Han Fei's eyes was instantly stained red.
