My Healing Games

Chapter 717 The Road of No Return

Xiao Ba is a key in the eyes of the park manager and Fu Sheng, but in Han Fei's heart, he is like family. His desire to find Xiao Ba stems more from his concern.

After Xu Qin absorbed the flames of hatred from the red umbrella, Han Fei drove to the next location where strange tales were frequently found.

"The Boming Building is considered an ominous building by locals because of its eerie architectural style, and there have been many cases of people falling from the building. According to eyewitnesses, every time a fall occurs, a child wearing a cartoon red dress and holding a red clock can be seen from the window where the victim fell."

Han Fei shared the information left in the script with the other citizens, and then led everyone into the building. To Han Fei's disappointment, they searched the entire Boming Building but found no ghosts.

The interior of the building was stained with blood and malice, and showed signs of a fierce battle.

Han Fei followed the traces of the fight all the way to the fourteenth floor. In the room where many people had fallen, he saw a clock that had been crushed.

Using the secret to touch the depths of the soul, Han Fei picked up the clock and could feel the regret and pain remaining within it. The evil spirit hiding in the Boming Building had already been killed; someone had come before him.

"The ghost manager I just encountered was seriously injured and was using a butcher's knife. He couldn't have killed this evil spirit in such a short time." Han Fei frowned slightly. "The lingering malice at the scene felt very familiar to me, very similar to the black ghost on F. Could it be that he killed the evil spirit in the Boming Building?"

In the amusement park's family compound, Han Fei and F completely broke off relations. Each side took away a group of players, and their goal was to obtain 100 points and pass through to enter the depths of the amusement park.

"It seems we need to speed things up; we can't let F get ahead."

Han Fei felt a sense of crisis, so he stopped and decisively retreated to the next location.

The city, which is gradually merging with the deeper world, is full of ghosts and strange tales, but for the time being, there are relatively few evil spirits with sufficient power.

Han Fei didn't bother with careful selection; he headed straight for the locations of the strange tales closest to him in the script.

The screams gradually subsided, the ghosts on the road became fewer and fewer, and the buildings on both sides gradually changed, becoming deathly silent, as if a person who had fainted was slowly sinking into a swamp and dying silently.

"Are you sure we haven't gone the wrong way? This road doesn't feel right." Li Guo'er gripped the steering wheel, her expression serious, and she felt uneasy.

“That’s right, this road itself is a demon.” Han Fei didn’t even look up, just flipping through the script in his hand.

There's a road between the city center and the amusement park that's prone to accidents. Traffic police have investigated it many times, and each accident seems to happen inexplicably. One day, a motorcyclist was riding along when he suddenly saw a huge truck coming from the opposite direction. Startled, he swerved to the side of the road, but after his motorcycle crashed into a tree, he realized the road was completely empty; there was no sign of the truck at all.

There are many similar incidents. Those who are found by the traffic police after an accident are considered lucky. What is truly terrifying is that some vehicles simply disappear while driving on this road.

No one knows where they went, or whether they are still alive. The end of this road seems to lead to a hidden world, so it is also known by the locals as the Road of No Return.

"Han Fei, should we keep going?" Ah Chong's voice came through the car radio. He and the other special citizens were sitting in the van, following closely behind the black taxi.

"Slow down, but don't stop. The ghosts will come to us on their own." Han Fei's experience in dealing with all kinds of ghosts and monsters was so rich that his own experience was the ultimate guide to living with ghosts and monsters.

Fog slowly appeared outside the car window, a light black mist obscuring the buildings along the roadside. They seemed to be traveling through a sea of ​​fog, heading towards a certain place.

The navigation system stopped working, and the cell phones lost signal. After the convoy moved forward a little further, all the vehicles behind the black hearse broke down, and the car at the back of the convoy even stalled.

"What happened? I just checked the car when I left Xingfu Community. There couldn't have been a problem, could there?" The driver of the car at the end of the line was named A Meng. He used to be a truck driver. He and his good friend took out a loan to buy a car and ran a transport business together. But later they had a car accident. His good friend died unexpectedly, but he survived by chance.

He had no time to grieve; he worked hard to earn money to treat his best friend's parents, treating them as his own. Later, his luck remained bad, but he always managed to escape danger after an accident.

The older generation said that good deeds are rewarded. Later, when the Deep World merged with the city, he discovered that his good brother had not left and had been protecting him all along.

"Let's follow Han Fei's arrangements and not act rashly." Zhao Gu displayed a maturity far beyond his years. Having grown up in an orphanage, he seemed more adapted to the present era.

“Okay…” A-Meng picked up the walkie-talkie, just about to speak, when he suddenly realized that the vehicle was surrounded by fog. To make matters worse, the cars in front of them seemed unaware that their vehicle had a problem, and their headlights were rapidly moving away from them, as if they had abandoned them on the road.

"Damn it!" A-Meng sensed something was wrong. He shouted into the walkie-talkie, but there was no response: "We're going to be stuck here!"

The somewhat impulsive Ah Meng grabbed the car door, about to stick his head out and shout, when he saw an extremely terrifying scene, and cold sweat instantly poured down his forehead.

Right outside the car window next to him, an elderly woman with a wrinkled face pressed her face against the window, her eyes wide open, as if trying to see the people inside the car.

"Don't open the door yet!" The people inside the car didn't make any rash moves. The old lady waited for a long time, and when no one paid any attention to her, she raised her arm and started knocking on the car window.

"Have you seen my grandson? The fog is too thick. He was playing by the roadside and then he disappeared." The old lady's voice was still relatively normal, and her tone of voice was fine, but in the current situation, no one dared to open the door for her.

“Recently, I heard from people in the village that there are child abductors on the road. As soon as they see a child on the roadside, they will snatch the child and put him in their car, and then take him to another place…” The old woman’s eyes seemed to bulge out of their sockets. She desperately squeezed her face against the car window, as if she wanted to crush the glass.

Why aren't you saying anything? Are you feeling guilty?

She started banging on the glass. The kind-hearted A-Meng couldn't help but reply to the old woman, "We didn't see your grandson. It's dangerous on the road. You'd better walk to the side."

After receiving a response, the wrinkles on the old man's face smoothed out slightly: "Didn't you see it? Okay then, you all need to be careful too. This road is called the Road of No Return; it's an accident-prone area..."

As she spoke, her expression suddenly turned extremely painful, as if she had suddenly fallen ill and was having difficulty breathing: "Could you give me a ride? My home is at the end of the road, and all my medicine is at home."

The old woman's expression and demeanor were flawless, but no one in the car believed her.

With her fingers pressed against the car window, the old woman's face was contorted with pain as she pounded on the window, pleading for help with her last bit of strength.

"Should we go down and take a look? Even if she's a ghost, we should be able to take care of her." Ahua was a little reluctant.

"Don't put yourself in danger. The best option now is to stay in the car and wait for Han Fei and the others to arrive." The girl who spoke was Xia Bing, a forensic doctor and a student of Han Fei's adoptive father.

She rarely speaks to the living, dedicating her youth and life to the dead. She has assisted the police in solving many murder cases and has been anonymously donating money to the families of victims. After the deep world invaded reality, many of the spirits of the dead guarded her, including two resentful souls.

The old woman outside the car struggled more and more violently, but the people inside remained unmoved. The resentment in the old woman's eyes slowly hardened, and her body collapsed beside the car.

"If you stand by and watch someone die, you are all murderers..."

The old woman's voice had disappeared. A-Meng glanced out the car window, but there was no old woman's body there. There were just a few dirty clothes lying around. If you looked closely, you could see that the clothes were the same ones the old woman had been wearing.

"Oh!"

The vehicle was suddenly struck hard on the top, and when the people looked up, the roof was deformed.

There's something in the fog!

The ground was shaking, the vehicles seemed to be slowly sinking, and the highway seemed to have turned into a river shrouded in fog, with the vans becoming small boats that could capsize at any moment.

The sound of the impact grew louder and louder, and the van's exterior dented inward. If the people inside didn't get out soon, it seemed like they would all be crushed.

"Look outside!"

Ah Meng looked panicked. He was a truck driver, but he had never seen anything like this before.

The bodies of wronged souls were connected to the highway, surging towards the van like waves, trying to overturn the vehicle and drag the souls of the passengers into the road.

"How many innocent souls are imprisoned on this highway!"

Unable to see their teammates, and surrounded by the wailing of the dead in the thick fog, the group had been driven to the brink of despair.

"The vehicle is damaged! If this continues, the doors won't open!" Ahua shouted, "Let's get out! We'll all get out together!"

They counted down to three, then opened the car door and rushed out. But just as they were preparing for a bloody battle, they discovered that all the wronged souls outside the vehicle were hidden in the fog.

"Why aren't they coming over?" Looking at the increasingly thick fog, Ahua was puzzled. She wanted to talk to her companions, but when she looked back, she was surrounded by fog and there wasn't a single person in sight!

"Zhao Gu! Xia Bing!" No matter how she called out, no one responded, and fear and helplessness welled up from the bottom of her heart.

Where is everyone?

She took out her phone to flashlight it, but the light couldn't penetrate the thick fog. She didn't dare to move, but at that moment she heard Zhao Gu's slightly childish voice.

Worried about Zhao Gu's safety, Ahua quickly ran towards the direction from which the sound came.

After running about ten meters, a blood-stained arm suddenly reached out and grabbed Ahua's shoulder.

Startled, Ahua turned around to slap the other person, but the other person easily dodged it.

"Stay where you are and don't move." The man withdrew his arm and silently glanced at Ah Hua.

"Who are you?" The man who grabbed Ahua as she ran forward wore a ghost mask and spoke in a weak voice. He only had one arm.

“You can call me Ghost. My life is almost over, and I’m preparing to choose the next Ghost in this city.” After saying this, the man looked into the depths of the fog, his eyes behind his mask filled with complex emotions: “I think I’ve found that person.”

A dazzling light pierced through the fog, and it was as if an earthquake had occurred. Cracks appeared on the smooth road, revealing the clothing of countless dead people buried beneath it.

As the fog slowly dissipated, Ahua looked toward the source of the light. Han Fei, wielding the Rebirth Slaughtering Blade, cleaved a statue dug from the ground. Black flames flickered in the statue's eyes, and a large amount of blood flowed from its body. It also emitted screams like a human.

Han Fei tied the red rope to the statue, letting the curse crawl all over its body, and then let Xu Qin devour it.

"Is that land god statue a demon?"

As the fog dissipated, Ahua scratched her head and realized that she had unknowingly left the highway.

Turning her head, she saw a cliff several meters high behind her. If the person wearing the ghost mask hadn't grabbed her, she would have fallen.

Ahua was still shaken. She ran to Han Fei's side and told him what the masked man had said.

Han Fei, who was waiting for Xu Qin to devour the statue, nodded after hearing what Ahua said. He had a vague guess in his mind.

All five managers of the amusement park had previously chosen Fu Sheng, but with his arrival, many things have changed. Apart from the deceived dream, the ghost also seems to want to choose Han Fei.

"The scales of fate have begun to slowly tip in my favor."

"That guy was wearing the scariest mask, but he seemed like a really nice person; at least he saved me." Ahua, afraid Han Fei might kill him at the slightest provocation, quickly tried to change the subject: "Is this land deity statue the evil spirit hiding in the highway?"

"Yes, this road was used by the boss when it was built. There were corpses buried underneath, and then there were a series of accidents, so all the resentment accumulated. The earth god statue was originally intended by the boss to suppress the dead souls because he felt guilty, but he didn't expect that all the wronged souls would gather on it in the end, which eventually made the whole road sinister and terrifying."

Han Fei pulled the red rope, and after Xu Qin swallowed the black flames in the statue's eyes, the black flames of hatred within her own body began to slowly burn.

Seeing Xu Qin leave, Da Nie secretly ran over and ate all the fragments of the Earth God statue. It moved very quickly, as if it was worried that others would compete with it for them.

“The Earth God statue gave us ten points, and we’ve now accumulated ninety points.” Li Guo’er parked the black hearse next to Han Fei. She was excited. They only needed ten more points to pass this death game and most likely become the next manager of the amusement park.
