My Healing Games

Chapter 716 The Cunning Manager

In the world of the shrine, each death results in the loss of a portion of memories, which are mostly integrated with the shrine world until the player eventually loses all memories and becomes just another passerby in the shrine world.

That's how it should normally be, but Fu Sheng's last shrine is clearly malfunctioning. The traces of Meng and the other park managers' consciousness haven't been completely erased, and they're all affecting the operation of this shrine world. Everyone has their own plans and schemes.

If we compare the shrine's memory world to Fu Sheng's brain, then the current situation is equivalent to several split alternate personalities vying for the position of the primary personality. The moment the primary personality truly appears, all the alternate personalities will be completely erased and disappear from his mind forever.

In order to become the primary personality, the secondary personalities fight and exploit each other, resorting to any means necessary. Meng also chose to help Han Fei for various reasons.

In Meng's eyes, Han Fei was the weakest party, but she never expected that this seemingly weakest living person would actually manage to deceive her.

They painstakingly collected memories of Han Fei's death, but a major problem arose just as they were about to succeed; the seven rituals became a waste of Han Fei's time.

"Li Guo'er, how many points have you accumulated on your invitation letter?"

Stepping out of the medical school's laboratory building, Han Fei looked around. The deeper world was gradually merging with the medical school. Previously, this place had not been affected because of the Dream Shrine, but now both the shrine and the remnants of the Dream had been shattered by Han Fei.

“We’ve cleared a lot of places and killed a lot of ghosts, but our points stopped increasing after reaching seventy. We might need to kill some evil spirits that are not under the control of the Paradise to get the last thirty points.” Li Guo’er handed the black invitation to Han Fei, the number on it still at seventy.

The power of evil spirits is equivalent to that of large-scale resentment; some even have given rise to a spark of hatred, making them very difficult to deal with.

"Xu Qin just happens to need black fire. Our next focus is to take down the most terrifying ghosts and tell the other citizens of the city that ghosts are not invincible."

After Han Fei finished speaking, he looked at Director Xu and said, "This school is no longer safe. Staying here could mean death. If you trust me, you can lead the students to Xingfu Community."

Under Han Fei's gaze, Director Xu's lips trembled slightly. He felt as if he were being stared at by a demon that had just crawled out of the abyss, and the sticky smell of blood almost swallowed him up.

"Okay..." Before his mind could process it, his mouth had already uttered the word "okay," his body's instinct telling him not to refuse Han Fei.

Han Fei also noticed the change in Director Xu's attitude. After merging with the ninety-nine death memories, he was even stronger than before entering the shrine's memory world. These ninety-nine deaths had brought about a kind of transformation in him.

"My memories have now been unlocked to stage nine. Once the final stage is unlocked, everything I own should come back."

In his previous ninety-nine lives, Han Fei had dug deep into the ground, completing all the shrine quests and various side quests in the entire city. The rewards and experience from these quests had accumulated to a terrifying level, but unfortunately, he had not yet fully recalled them.

Han Fei hasn't been playing the Perfect Life game for very long, but he has already grown to a level that even Fu Sheng didn't expect. His repeated deaths and rebirths in the world of the shrine's memories have given him more time to think and explore. He himself isn't quite sure how many abilities he has mastered or what the limits of his physical abilities are.

"Once all preparations are complete, we'll go to the amusement park and finalize the deal with the maniac."

Opening the script in his backpack, Han Fei called over the blond guy at the back of the group: "You said you once saw a man with a red umbrella?"

"Yes." The blond-haired man nodded repeatedly, looking at Han Fei with the same eyes a young hoodlum who had just entered society would have met his godfather.

"Take me there." Han Fei's script contains several stories of evil spirits, and the red umbrella is one of them.

The one holding the red umbrella is not a person, but a group of consciousnesses combined. If they are not eliminated soon, there will be more and more monsters holding red umbrellas on the streets.

With the hearse leading the way, Han Fei first took the students and survivors back to Xingfu Community, and then selected a few of the most special citizens to leave with him.

In the memories of death that Meng helped Han Fei retrieve, Han Fei also learned that many people in this shrine's memory world could be brought out. Many of the ghosts and monsters were not imagined by Fu Sheng himself, but rather Fu Sheng imprisoned their souls in his own memory world. Therefore, once Han Fei becomes the master of this shrine, he can bring some special citizens into the deeper world as long as certain requirements are met!
Han Fei has occupied more and more buildings in the Deep World, and his manpower is severely insufficient. A large number of citizens moving in can help him build a real city that belongs to him in the Deep World!
"Eat with all your might, and make your ghostly family members who protect you become even stronger resentment. I will protect you."

Crossing the main city, the sky over the amusement park was already beginning to collapse. If the night sky was like a black ocean, then the area above the amusement park was like a vortex that would devour everything and crush anything that came near it.

"I saw him! The red umbrella!" Huang Mao suddenly shouted from inside the car. He pointed to a tall woman at the street corner. The woman was holding a blood-red umbrella with one hand, her upper body was covered by the red umbrella, and her two slender legs were exposed.

"Let us handle this." A woman's voice came from the van following the hearse. The woman's name was Ahua, a very forthright and strong woman who worked at a moving company. She was enthusiastic, robust, and had a great personality. The ghost protecting her was her long-deceased grandmother, who resided in a jade pendant, constantly giving Ahua strength, making her fearless in the dark, and even daring to beat up ghosts.

The van stopped, and Ahua opened the door and walked towards the red umbrella: "My grandmother said before she passed away that our family received a lot of help from kind people, and that I must give back to society when I grow up. Now I will help everyone restore order."

Ahua, her hand wrapped in bandages, gripped the red umbrella. She looked down at the umbrella and said, "It must have taken a lot of blood to stain this umbrella red, right?"

Her black hair hung down, and the gaunt woman under the umbrella had no face; her features were hidden within the umbrella.

A scream rang out, and the gaunt woman's ten fingers stabbed towards Ahua's face like daggers.

As the other person approached, Ahua neither dodged nor flinched. The jade pendant around her neck emitted black mist, and then she directly locked the thin woman's neck and pressed her down into the umbrella.

The fist, shrouded in black mist, smashed through the red umbrella and also through the gaunt woman's heart.

"So weak?" The black mist absorbed the resentment on the red umbrella, and Ahua didn't notice the tiny blood vessels appearing on her fist.

"Sister Hua! Be careful!" Zhao Gu's slightly childish voice came from inside the van, and several children who looked very young pushed Ahua aside.

"Oh!"

A refrigerator fell from a height and landed right where Ahua had just been standing.

She looked up and saw a faceless man holding an umbrella peeking out from the third floor.

"That was close! Thank you, Xiao Zhao." Ahua gestured to Zhao Gu: "As expected of a Level 5 resident of Happiness Community, you're really something."

The residents' levels were determined by the special survivors themselves based on their strength, ranging from level one to level ten. They would get particularly excited when discussing these levels, but Han Fei thought it was like children playing house.

One by one, special citizens emerged from the van and followed the hearse into the next intersection.

As their gaze shifted, the expressions of those special citizens grew serious as they saw people holding red umbrellas lingering on the road ahead!

"Luckily, we discovered it early; any later, and there would probably have been many more red umbrellas." Li Guo'er then asked Han Fei for his opinion: "Should we get off the bus?"

"No need," Han Fei said calmly. "Just ram them and clear a path for them."

Throughout the entire ordeal, Han Fei never looked at the red umbrellas. His gaze remained fixed on the small square at the end of the street, where a man with a fountain was holding a red umbrella and chanting something aloud.

"it is good."

With the accelerator floored, the black taxi shot into the red river like a bolt of lightning, nine screaming ghosts trailing across its body as it sped off.

The special survivors behind them were both shocked and excited when they saw this. They shouted and followed Han Fei as he sped through the night.

The blood was crushed, red umbrellas fell to the ground, and the hearse rushed through the crowded street.

Han Fei, holding the Resurrection Blade, stepped out of the black taxi and silently put on a white smiling mask.

"Who are you? Why are you harming my followers? I see the ultimate greed and evil in you! Your sins need to be cleansed!" Standing on the high platform beside the fountain in the square, the man holding a red umbrella pointed at Han Fei: "This world has become terrible and chaotic because of people like you! You are the source of all disasters!"

"You're right, I am the source of all this calamity." Han Fei drew his Rebirth Slayer Blade: "And then?"

"We will scrape away your rotting, stinking entrails, lighten your soul, make you repent in pain, and make you..."

"Enough with the nonsense. I also have a shortcut to a new world." The blade in Han Fei's hand slowly appeared: "All things in this world are suffering, but fortunately, the gate to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss has been opened for you."

Before he could finish speaking, the fountain next to the man with the red umbrella suddenly exploded, and a hideous and terrifying giant ghost emerged from the ground, its intense aura of death and ominousness biting the man fiercely.

Da Nie and Han Fei went there together. While Han Fei was speaking, Da Nie concealed his aura and emerged from the underground water network; as Da Nie bit the man with the red umbrella, Han Fei drew his sword and moved forward.
Without relying on Xu Qin's curse, Han Fei, with only his own living body, dodged countless attacks and, from an unbelievable angle, cleaved the man and his umbrella in two.

"You are guilty! You are guilty!"

A book fell from the man's hand to the ground. Inside its solemn cover, every page was filled with murderous thoughts and ideas.

The man's cowardice and timidity, coupled with his twisted and abnormal psychology, caused him to become a growing evil thought after his death. It absorbed the extremely distorted and unfulfilled thoughts deep within everyone's hearts, slowly accumulating until a faint black flame appeared.

After the man was killed, all those holding red umbrellas went berserk, as if the last fig leaf had been torn away, exposing all their filthy and disgusting thoughts.

Han Fei ignored those people. He picked up the red umbrella next to the man and poured Xu Qin's curse into it.

Just a few seconds later, black flames ignited inside the red umbrella, and all the twisted and filthy thoughts turned into fuel for hatred. The people holding red umbrellas along the street were also affected. They tried their best to stop Han Fei, but unfortunately, they could not break through the Great Evil's obstruction.

"Defeating a large vengeful spirit only requires me and Da Nie, but to kill it completely as quickly as possible, we still need Xu Qin's help."

The eyes beneath the mask were cold and chilling. Han Fei stared at the flames within the blood-red umbrella until the red umbrella faded and the curse returned to the paper figure's body. Only then did his gaze soften.

After burning a large amount of resentment, Xu Qin's black flames of hatred brightened a bit.

"Han Fei, the amusement park invitation has been upgraded by ten points." Li Guo'er waved from inside the car and shouted to Han Fei.

Just as he was about to respond, Han Fei suddenly felt someone watching him. He was standing next to the corpse of the man with the red umbrella, and he turned around abruptly.

At the street corner stood a man dressed in an amusement park uniform, wearing a ghost mask, with his left hand severed. In his remaining right hand, he also held a butcher knife, but the tip of the knife was pointing downwards.

This man also seemed to have come to kill the Red Umbrella Demon, but Han Fei beat him to it.

"His severed arm is still bleeding. He's so badly injured, yet he still wants to kill the evil spirits in the city and maintain order?" Han Fei recalled some words from the previous "brain": "Could this seriously injured amusement park employee be the park's manager—the ghost?"

Among the park's managers, the ghost is responsible for eliminating monsters and maintaining order, and the other party's behavior is very much like that of a ghost manager.

"He's still alive?"

In the blink of an eye, the person wearing the ghost mask disappeared. Han Fei stared at the end of the street, lost in thought.

The other special citizens he brought out fought with the remaining red umbrella monsters. Without the support of the main body, the red umbrella monsters were much weaker and the citizens were able to deal with them on their own.

"It's time to go to the next place."

All sorts of ghosts and spirits have appeared, and this grand drama, which takes place on the entire city, has reached its final moment.

After the special citizens had eliminated all the red umbrellas, Han Fei opened his script and circled the next target.

"Xu Qin and Da Nie have been found, but Xiao Ba is nowhere to be seen. Her video recording is kept in the Happiness Community, which means she must have entered the shrine with me. As the key, where is she now?"
