My Healing Games

Chapter 715: Deception and Unspeakable Acting
Ninety-nine different ways of dying were reenacted on Han Fei. He endured the pain, opened his bloodshot eyes wide, and examined those cruel and bloody memories of death.

In the blood-red orphanage deep within his mind, Han Fei and Kuang Xiao completed the most insane deal.

Fu Sheng wanted to use his body to achieve rebirth, and Meng also wanted to take his body away. In order not to hand this body over to others, Han Fei and Kuang Xiao decided to join forces to devour them!
They have no intention of letting go of Fu Sheng, the lingering resentment of the dream, or even the Paradise and the entire city.

This shrine represents a painful past. Fu Sheng wanted Han Fei to see the price of the fusion between the deep world and reality through this shrine of memories. However, after Han Fei and Kuang Xiao finished looking at it, they only wanted to overturn everything and correct this tragedy at its root.

Han Fei's consciousness delved into the deepest part of the ocean of memories. He and Kuang Xiao were separated by the door of the blood-red orphanage. Their wills and personalities were vastly different, and they could be said to be completely different people. However, it was undeniable that they had both lived in this body and empathized with each other's experiences.

Fu Sheng probably didn't expect Han Fei to release the maniacal laughter so decisively. He overestimated his understanding of Han Fei and underestimated Han Fei's madness.

The appearance of dreams and maniacal laughter completely disrupted Fu Sheng's plans, turning the clear future into chaos, like a pool of murky water where everyone can see the photos floating on the surface, but cannot see how many corpses and despair are buried beneath the surface.

The photo on his chest slowly fell off, and the memory of death in Han Fei's mind began to dissipate. He knew that he and Kuang Xiao had completed a deal, but Han Fei had forgotten the core content of the deal; that part of the memory had been taken away by Kuang Xiao.

"If I successfully defeat Meng and Fu Sheng, I will still have to face Kuang Xiao in the end." Kuang Xiao is a terrible ally and also the most terrifying enemy, but Han Fei did not dwell on this too much. Paying a certain price and getting a corresponding reward is what a deal is.

One photo after another fell on Han Fei, reminding him of all the backup plans he had previously laid out. At this point in the world of memories in the shrine, the situation had become completely clear, and Han Fei needed to start preparing for his final gamble.

Han Fei didn't die ninety-nine times in vain. He ran all over the city, completed every shrine quest that could be triggered, and unlocked all the side quests. Many of the city's secrets were buried in his memories of death.

The agony of his gruesome death tormented every nerve, and in this unbearable despair, Han Fei's body sank to the bottom of the pool.

The mutilated corpses were piled up haphazardly, and in the center of the pile, a small shrine had been built.

The pure black shrine was made of an unknown material. There was nothing covering it, and the shrine door was wide open. The thin lines on the ankles of all the corpses extended from the shrine door.

Despite the stinging sensation in his eyes, Han Fei glanced into the shrine.

Inside that tiny shrine lay a premature baby, whose body was not yet fully developed. Its early birth deprived it of the opportunity to experience this wonderful world.

Lying in the shrine, the infant seemed to still be in its mother's womb, its body bobbing up and down. Its barely visible fingers were grasping thin threads extending from the other corpses. A small metal plaque hung around its neck, bearing the name Han Fei.

During one of his attempts to kill his adoptive father, Han Fei discovered his adoptive father, Dr. Han's, secret: the turning point that led him to become a serial killer began with this premature baby.

The child in the shrine was the biological child of Dr. Han and his wife. The child could not be saved, and Dr. Han, who was already paranoid, became even more extreme. Finally, under the temptation of the dream, he completely turned into a demon.

When Han Fei looked at the stillborn infant, the baby, who had died many years earlier, blinked slightly and suddenly opened its eyes.

It crawled toward the gate, pulling on the thin thread binding all the corpses. On that terrifying face, the skin slowly writhed, revealing a smile.

"You still found this place. After so many times, you've still become what I wanted to see." The unfamiliar voice entered Han Fei's ears. The baby's crawling speed seemed very slow, but in the blink of an eye, it appeared next to Han Fei's head.

A sign bearing Han Fei's name was hanging around the neck of the stillborn infant, and a photograph was carefully sewn into the skin of its dissected chest.

"It seems you've made your choice, no longer following the path Fu Sheng laid out for you, letting the Deep World swallow everything! I will help you, I will make your body serve its true purpose." The baby lay on Han Fei's chest, its sharp fingers piercing Han Fei's ribs, and the last photograph also touched Han Fei's body.

Memories of his ninety-ninth death surfaced in his mind. Han Fei stopped in front of a door forged from Fu Sheng's bones, the door drenched in the blood of everyone's souls.

As he was about to enter through that door, he hesitated.

He held the black box in his arms, ultimately choosing not to open it. This scene was witnessed by the giant eye on the maze wall, whose butterfly-patterned eye blinked with satisfaction.

"Since you have chosen the other side of the black box, I will help you become a completely new you, free you from Fu Sheng's curse, and make you an unspeakable terror in the deep world!"

It was this moment of hesitation that caused the door built from Fu Sheng's bones to collapse, burying Han Fei and all the secrets in the Paradise Maze.

After seeing this memory in his mind, Han Fei understood the most crucial point—why dreams guide one to become whole.

Fu Sheng chose to open the front of the box, while Meng wanted to open the back of the black box. At the last moment of making the choice last time, Han Fei did not open the front of the black box. In Meng's view, since Han Fei did not choose the front, he must have followed its guidance and wanted to open the back of the box.

But only Han Fei and the old building manager Fu Sheng know the truth: Han Fei chose the path of opening both the front and the back of the box at the same time!

This path, which no one has ever walked before, has even deceived unspeakable dreams.

"Dream used my adoptive father to collect my memories of death. This is its seventh ritual. It wouldn't be kind enough to help me recall the past; it's doing this for its own benefit! Dream is guiding me step by step to become whole. Its first seven rituals are already different from Fu Sheng's memories. Dream's lingering resentment has changed the past. Its previous seven rituals were all paving the way for the eighth ritual! Its real target is me. It wants its lingering resentment to be reborn in my body! And I'm cooperating with its performance, numbing it step by step, even giving up when I was about to accept Fu Sheng's path. All of this is to deceive it!"

Looking at the newborn baby waiting to be born on his chest, Han Fei understood everything. In order to complete the final plan, he even used dreams!

This time, with minimal cost, he accomplished what he hadn't been able to do before.

"Thank you for the maze map imprinted in my mind, thank you for helping me awaken the Great Evil, thank you for helping me rediscover Fu Sheng's kindness, thank you for letting me meet another ghost with a healing personality..." Han Fei's will pierced through the pain brought by death. He clenched his fist and gripped the butcher's knife tightly: "As a token of my gratitude, I will kill you with my own hands! Just like I killed the butterfly, I will shatter your head and ensure that you never find peace!"

The baby realized something was wrong, but it was too late when it tried to get away.

"To be reborn!"

Countless hands joined Han Fei in grasping the hilt of the sword, and the blade, constructed of human nature, slashed towards the dead infant and the shrine behind it.

With a single stroke, the dead infant and the shrine were both cleaved in two by the sword!

The lingering resentment hidden within the stillborn infant couldn't understand why Han Fei didn't choose to open the front of the box with Fu Sheng, nor did he agree to open the back of the black box with it. It couldn't think of any other options besides these two.

The dazzling light of the blade swept away all the filth, and the photos pasted on Han Fei slowly fell off.

The recurring memories of death merged with Han Fei's own. In order to find a true path to change his fate in this shrine, he tried with his own life, dying ninety-nine times before finally getting this opportunity.

In his hundredth rebirth, he avoided all the mistakes he had made before and united all the forces he could win over.

Get the biggest enemy, "Dream," to cooperate and continuously weaken Fu Sheng's influence. Let Kuang Xiao hold back the other managers. Then, recover all memories as quickly as possible and regain the initiative.

Water splashed in all directions as Han Fei swam to the surface, his eyes looking completely different from before.

The ninety-nine deaths brought him not only pain, but also tempered his will to an unimaginable degree.

As the photos fell, Han Fei climbed out of the pool. The aura emanating from him made everyone afraid to approach him; at this moment, he was even more terrifying than resentment.

"There's still a little time before the time I agreed with Kuangxiao." Han Fei looked at Captain Zhang and Achong: "Go and gather all the players and special citizens. Tell them I'm preparing to establish a citizen self-rescue organization, and I want to gather all forces to eliminate all the evil spirits in the city!"

"Clean up the entire city?" Ah Chong was sure he hadn't misheard. "Do we have that capability?"

"Whether or not we have the ability is not important. What is important is that when the sun can no longer rise, new light needs to appear to bring people confidence and hope."

Han Fei gripped the butcher's knife and walked out of the house, and the others inside unconsciously followed behind him.
