My Healing Games

Chapter 61 Are you sick?

Bright red blood slid down Xu Qin's lips; her finger had been bitten, but she felt no pain at all.

Han Fei's words seemed to have triggered the deepest memories in her mind, and her expression became increasingly morbid and crazed.

Looking at Xu Qin at this moment, staring at her face, and listening to her repeated words, Han Fei suddenly felt that the name Xu Qin was somewhat familiar.

He recalled that while searching for information related to human body puzzle patterns, he had inadvertently come across another case from ten years ago.

The head of clinical trials for new drugs at Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals was poisoned by his younger brother, whose name was Xu Qin.

The older sister and younger brother depended on each other since childhood. In order to take care of her younger brother, the older sister never got married and devoted herself to her work.

The neighbors all thought the brother and sister had a good relationship, but who would have thought that the brother would poison his sister in the end?

The method of the crime was clumsy, but unfortunately the sister never suspected her brother and ate all the food on the table.

That case was solved ten years ago; the older sister died from her injuries, and the younger brother was sentenced to death.

In the old city of Xinhu where they once lived, a famous ghost story has been left behind: if you bring food to the house at the corner of North Street, you may encounter a crazy woman with a kitchen knife. She will cough up blood and cry, and then eat all the food and the person who brings it to her.

Are these two Xu Qins the same person?

Han Fei was also looking at the woman in front of him. He remembered a sentence that Xu Qin had once said. The name she was using recently was Xu Qin.

The woman living in room 1052 may not necessarily be Xu Qin. Perhaps she possesses many memories and is an aggregate of curses, with Xu Qin being just one of them.

"Sis, what's wrong?" Han Fei wasn't scared by the woman's outburst. He took the initiative to go over to her and said, "If you're not feeling well, go back to your room first. I'll go lure those guys on the sixth floor out."

The real target tonight is those outsiders on the sixth floor. Han Fei also wants to use them to soothe Xu Qin's emotions.

Her blood-soaked lips possessed a morbid beauty, and Xu Qin's pale fingers unconsciously stroked her face: "Someone has hidden themselves. I forgot, I forgot some things..."

“That person might be on the sixth floor, but they’ll be scared if you come with me.” Han Fei’s smile was clean and pure, like a carefree boy next door: “From now on, I can handle these assistant tasks.”

Now that he could quit the game at any time, Han Fei became brave and confident. He gave Xu Qin to room 1052 and then took the pupa and headed to the sixth floor.

Walking alone in the stairwell, Han Fei's smile gradually disappeared. He really wanted to smile from the bottom of his heart, but he had lost his smile a long time ago.

He can perform all sorts of smiles, but none of them are smiles that come from happiness and joy.

Slowly moving his body in the dark stairwell, Han Fei arrived at the sixth floor for the first time, a completely new breakthrough for him.

"The building manager used to live on the tenth floor. There must be something very important hidden in his room. If I want to find out everything, I have to find a way to get to the top floor."

Compared to the other floors, the sixth floor was very messy, with all kinds of garbage and debris piled up in the corridor and broken flower pots placed on the steps.

"These outsiders have no manners at all. They put flowerpots on the steps. What if they fall and hit someone?"

Han Fei slowed down his movements. He looked down to move the flowerpot, and suddenly noticed that there were red threads wrapped around the withered plant in the flowerpot, with small brass bells tied to the ends of the threads.

"A red rope and a copper bell? Can these things ward off evil spirits?"

He moved the flowerpot to the side closer to the wall. Strangely, no matter how Han Fei touched the red rope, the bell wouldn't ring. It seemed that the bell and the red rope weren't meant to keep out living people.

"We've finally reached the sixth floor."

Standing amidst a pile of clutter, Han Fei looked at the four rooms on the sixth floor. He didn't know which room was occupied, so he randomly knocked on the door of room 1064.

"Is anyone home? I'm your downstairs neighbor."

The knocking echoed far down the hallway, but no one came to open the door for Han Fei.

"If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. If these people don't open the door, it's probably because they have something to hide."

If other neighbors from the building come over, they have various concerns and dare not make too much noise, for fear of becoming a target.

But Han Fei was different. When he first entered the game, he was timid as a mule, taking every step with extreme caution, as if walking on thin ice. But once he completed the mission and could freely exit the game, his mind underwent a magnificent transformation. Simply put, he became fearless. Unless a ghost could follow him back to reality, he would dare to provoke all ghosts.

"If you don't open the door, I'll keep knocking. I know you're home, so don't hide inside and stay silent."

The hallway grew increasingly eerie. Han Fei's knocking had caused a change in the apartment building, as if something that had been dormant was gradually awakening.

The neighbors on the sixth floor must be extremely nervous right now. They are hoping that Han Fei will leave as soon as possible, but Han Fei is like a reckless fool who keeps standing outside knocking on the door.

In fact, Han Fei was also very uneasy. He kept an eye on the landlord's ring while listening intently through the door.

Not long after, faint noises came from room 1064, confirming that someone was living inside.

When Han Fei heard noises coming from room 1064, he reacted like a shark that had smelled blood, biting the other person tightly and becoming even more hysterical.

"Hello, neighbor living in room 1064 on the sixth floor! I know you're home! I happened to run into one of your family members, and he has something he'd like me to bring to you!"

"Neighbor of apartment 1064, are you home? Did you put these miscellaneous items in the hallway? Why are there bloodstains and red rope on them?"

Han Fei kept mentioning room number 1064, putting the people inside in a very difficult position. If this continued, all the ghosts and monsters in the building would probably remember the room number, making it impossible to survive discreetly.

"Neighbors of apartment 1064, please open your doors and let's talk. You don't want me to come knocking on your doors every night, do you?"

Han Fei's last words seemed to frighten the other party. If there really was such a madman who would come knocking on the door at three or four in the morning every night, it would definitely cause a big problem.

The lock turned, and the security door opened a crack. A bloodshot eye, filled with weariness and anger, looked at Han Fei: "Are you fucking sick?"

"How dare you talk like that? I'm here to do a good deed. Is a family member missing?" Han Fei wasn't carrying any knives, and he gave off a weak and frail impression, so the neighbors on the sixth floor just thought of him as a crazy man with no fighting ability.

"No."

"That's impossible. That person asked me to make sure I deliver this to the resident on the sixth floor." As he spoke, Han Fei took the human pupa out of his pocket.
