My Healing Games

Chapter 734 On the cusp of the storm
"You want me to play a role? In this place?" Bai Xiangang had just been pulled into the deep world, his mind was still blank, and he hadn't quite come to his senses yet.

“Someone wants to expose my existence and kill me in reality, so I need you to impersonate me.”

"Playing you?" Bai Xian was stunned again. This should be the biggest challenge of his career. The role of Han Fei is not one that anyone can handle. It requires complete madness and absolute rationality. Most importantly, it requires the temperament that he has developed through life-and-death struggles, which is something that others simply cannot imitate.

"There's no script, no fixed lines; you'll have to improvise." Han Fei simply wrote down some of his self-awareness and habits, and had Bai Xian "figure out the character's inner thoughts" in the room, while he took the opportunity to leave the room.

"Zhuang Wen, you must guard this room and not let anyone in." Han Fei dragged his tired body to the side of the people in Xingfu Community. The ninety-nine wounds on his body had not healed. The divine patterns that were originally engraved on the outer wall of the shrine were inexplicably imprinted on his wounds.

Beyond the amusement park's maze passage, a large number of fearless players were still attempting to enter. Many of them got lost in the dream world, while a small group of determined players managed to traverse it, getting closer and closer to the deeper world.

"Does anyone know how to close this passage?" Han Fei found the painter in the crowd. This most peculiar hater stood alone in the center of the park. At his feet was a monster mural that occupied one-fifth of the park's size. The monster looked a lot like Orphan Number Four.

The painter shook his head slightly, standing on the mural, looking up at the colorful night sky.

After the will of dreams pierced through the labyrinth of paradise, it began to slowly dissipate, and the night sky of the deep world was gradually returning to normal.

"This passage was left by Fu Sheng and has been suppressed by Fu Sheng's shrine. Now that the shrine has been destroyed, the passage certainly cannot be closed in the short term." A sinister laugh came from the shadows on the other side of the park. A clown with tear stains on his face sat on a carousel. His terrifying appearance contrasted sharply with the cute carousel.

"Huang Sheng?" The clown is Orphan Number Eleven. Han Fei helped him in Fu Sheng's memory shrine and learned about his past.

"The fact that you know my real name means you've gained my approval in the shrine's memory world. Unfortunately, it's a dead end now, and I can't help you." The clown rode his wooden horse in circles, his smile exaggerated yet sorrowful. His body was ethereal, as if he too had suffered severe injuries. "To seal the passage, you must repair the shrine. As Fu Sheng's successor, you still have a long way to go before you can repair a level seven shrine. Until the shrine is completely repaired, this passage may continue to exist."

"Is there no other way?"

“Actually, you can think about it from a different perspective. Fu Sheng also knew that such a situation might occur, but why did he still insist on leaving this passage open?” The clown looked at Han Fei with a grin: “The world over there is happy and fulfilling, which may be just right to receive the despair of the deeper world. Everything is in Fu Sheng’s mind. The appearance of the dream only accelerated this process.”

"You're quite optimistic." Han Fei looked at the half-destroyed statue in his hand. Fu Sheng's most important shrine had been blown to pieces, and as the inheritor, he had only received this badly damaged half of the statue. "Where are the others who entered the shrine with me? Why aren't they here?"

"Look at the idol in your hand. It's covered with their names. To release them, you need to truly become the master of the shrine." The clown and Number Four were the paradise managers left behind by Fu Sheng. They were once children in that orphanage, just like Han Fei, but for various reasons, they died when they were very young, and their souls were taken into the deeper world by Fu Sheng.

"What should I do?"

"Come with me." The clown jumped off the carousel and called to Han Fei as they walked toward the maze together.

One of the two men was nearly three meters tall and exuded an eerie aura; the other wore a beast-face mask and was filled with murderous intent.

They looked like the final villains in a movie, their auras were perfectly matched.

Players on the other side of the passage gasped in surprise and took out the recording cameras that came with the system to start filming. Han Fei didn't care about anything else at the moment and gritted his teeth and entered the maze.

The deep world and the shallow world have never been so close. They are two completely inverted worlds, and strangely, both feel that the other is underground.

“There are empty shrines placed by Fu Sheng in the maze, mainly to prevent accidents from happening in the passage. In a moment, you will put that half of the statue into the shrine. If everything goes well, we should be able to obtain some of the shrine's power, and then we can release the souls in the statue.”

The clown and Han Fei arrived at a hidden corner inside the maze. After opening several secret doors, a perfectly intact empty shrine appeared before Han Fei's eyes.

"Go." Black flames of hatred blazed in his eyes as the clown grinned at Han Fei: "Go and begin your own era."

"I just hope to live a good life." Han Fei took the statue to the empty shrine. This was not the first time he had activated the shrine, but he was extremely nervous.

According to the clown, once the shrine is activated, everyone imprisoned in the statue will return: Xu Qin, Xiao Ba, and Spider will return; the souls that Fu Sheng kept in his memories will return; and Kuang Xiao will also return.

Besides Fu Sheng, another person who wanted to be reborn in Han Fei's body was Kuang Xiao. In fact, keeping Kuang Xiao imprisoned in the statue was also a good option.

Looking at the names on the statue, Han Fei slowly opened the divine gate and placed the half of the statue inside.

"Attention Player No. 0000! Are you willing to become the master of the Level 7 Shrine - Resurrection? This shrine is severely damaged and will have unknown effects on you, and may even change your fate and future."

"willing!"

After Han Fei agreed, his health dropped to one point instantly, his virtue and reputation were completely wiped out, and black blood flowed from the ninety-nine wounds on his body.

Everything he had was consumed by the shrine, a terrible experience he had gone through before.

To avoid being drained dry, he opened his inventory and took out the pig's heart and various meats cooked by Xu Qin.

The players on the other side of the passage stared at Han Fei with curiosity, and the more they looked, the more creepy he seemed. In their eyes, Han Fei was like a devil who ate human hearts.

As Han Fei's life points continued to be injected, veins lit up on the half of the statue in the shrine. The statue, which had seemed lifeless, slowly opened its eyes, and its expression gradually became the same as Han Fei's.

As the two merged, the outer skin of the statue peeled off, the cracks on its body began to heal, and the names written on the statue lit up one after another.

The brightest name among them was Great Evil, the embodiment of calamity and misfortune, which seemed to be an innate nemesis of the shrine. Its name quickly turned into specks of light and disappeared from the statue.

At the same time, a thunderous roar rang out beside Han Fei. A gigantic monster, over five meters tall, emerged from the statue and, like a giant demon, furiously pounded the ground, causing the entire passage to tremble.

"What kind of monster is that?!"

"Summoning demons? The masked man is a cultist! Is this the hidden map?"

"Second Uncle, stop fishing! Come and see the monster!"

"Which of you are combat-oriented? Go down and take a look!"

The appearance of the Great Evil attracted everyone's attention. They had never seen such an ugly monster in this game before. It was simply the most imperfect thing in a perfect life.

Swallowing the pig's heart, Han Fei silently stared at the shrine. After the Great Calamity, another name lit up—Xu Qin.

Curses, like threads of love, tugged at the heartstrings. Thousands of different curses surged from the idol, first crawling all over Han Fei's body, and finally, black flames ignited on all the curses, and a woman was reborn in the flames.

She was breathtakingly beautiful, exuding a dangerous and terrifying aura. What was even more terrifying was that thirteen kitchen knives were stuck all over her body!

The moment Xu Qin appeared, Han Fei immediately turned around, grabbed the dinner knife in Xu Qin's chest, and pulled it out using the human skin knife pad.

In Fu Sheng's shrine of memories, Xu Qin accompanied Han Fei to die ninety-nine times; their relationship could be described as one of sharing life and death.

"What is that?!"

"She's so beautiful, but why are there thirteen knives stuck in her body? It's so cruel! So perverted!"

"Was she a sacrifice to that monster? Damn cultist! Kill him!"

"I'll whisper that I'm willing to be her dog, hopefully no one will hear me."

The curse spread outwards, distorting the dreamscape; any player in the passage who touched it would have their health points depleted.

Han Fei is still unsure whether those players will actually die, but based on previous speculation, as long as they don't actually enter the deeper world, the death of their game characters shouldn't have a significant impact on their brains and souls.

After removing the knife, Xu Qin's eyes returned to normal, and she fell into extreme weakness, her hatred diminishing several times over.

Following closely behind Xu Qin was Xiao Ba, who stuffed all the victims of the human body mosaic into her stomach. She appeared carrying a flowerpot filled with human bones.

Not long after Xiao Ba appeared, shadows quietly emerged. The spider slowly walked out of the shrine. As he left the statue, he did not forget to turn back and bow slightly to it.

Fu Sheng ultimately did not choose him, but he still respected that person.

"I don't know how long I can remember you, but at least before I forget you, I will try my best to help you make up for those regrets."

One after another, figures emerged from the shrine, including enormous monsters and a large number of ordinary people; all the souls that had survived in Fu Sheng's memory came out.

In the end, only one name remained on the statue—Han Fei.

A soft laugh came from the statue's mouth, and the statue's face gradually became ferocious. The laugh grew louder and louder, and little by little it became hysterical.

Hearing this laughter, Han Fei knew that a wild laugh was about to erupt.

He did not resist, but instead placed his hand on the top of the statue's head.

He used to dislike mad laughter and was even a little afraid of it, but through this shrine inheritance mission, Han Fei realized one thing: he couldn't let mad laughter bear all the pain and despair; he should embrace all the hope himself.

Maniacal laughter is a healing personality trait that has healed many people; Han Fei himself should also be a healing personality trait, but his existence should be for the purpose of healing maniacal laughter.

"The padlock in the Crimson Orphanage has been broken. You can come out whenever you want. I will no longer imprison you. In fact, I have no memory of imprisoning you at all. I feel that we should not be enemies, but the best and most inseparable partners in the world. I will go with you to take revenge and make those who spread despair experience the pain we once went through."

The statue's face revealed a ferocious smile, and thick blood gushed down Han Fei's arm toward his brain, instantly unleashing an astonishing surge of blood in his calm sea of ​​consciousness.

The immense willpower and painful memories nearly overwhelmed Han Fei, and he had to resort to the indestructible personality technique to survive.

With his veins bulging, Han Fei clutched his wounds with both hands, trying to suppress the pain and avoid making any loud noises.

At this moment, the number of ghosts and souls standing around Han Fei was countless, and the players who were originally climbing down the passage were now all running up for their lives.

"What kind of hellish scroll is this! A parade of a hundred demons? Who exactly is that masked man? Is he the big boss who's going to destroy the world?"

Has the new expansion for "Perfect Life" been released?

"Could this be a game virus? Has the AI ​​been attacked?"

After the maniac returned to the Crimson Orphanage, Han Fei returned to normal and received a series of system notifications.

Fu Sheng took in 100,000 remnant souls in his shrine, but only 10,000 were eventually taken out by Han Fei. The vast majority of them were just ordinary people, and Fu Sheng did not expect anything in return for saving them.

Han Fei once thought that Fu Sheng was going to kill all the ghosts and monsters in the deep world, but after seeing these remnant souls, Han Fei had a new understanding of Fu Sheng.

His ultimate goal is to destroy the Deep World, but in the process of destruction, he will save innocent people.

"I need you to fix this maze as soon as possible and prevent those players from getting in."

Ten thousand remnant souls, even if they are all filled with regret, are enough for Han Fei to build his own city. Now the amusement park, the plastic surgery hospital, and the dead building area are connected into one whole, and ordinary hatred is no match for Han Fei and his group.

Reaching into his pocket, Han Fei took out the fragments of the shrine he had picked up earlier and placed them into the shrine.

The broken statue was slowly absorbing something from the fragments of the shrine, and it was repairing itself at a very slow pace.

“Fu Sheng’s shrine fragments can help me repair the statue. We can bring all the other fragments from the platform over later.”

This shrine needs to guard the passage, and its location cannot be moved casually. Han Fei can only repair the shrine here.

After assigning the tasks, Han Fei's mental state reached its limit. His brain felt like it had been torn into pieces, and if he didn't quit the game soon, he might suffer permanent damage.

"I can't leave yet."

Han Fei quietly left the amusement park maze, had his neighbors find Rose and the other players, and then, together with Bai Xian, took them all to the shrine in the plastic surgery hospital.

"Brother Bai, I've found you a few people to act with." Han Fei planned to modify all the players' memories so that they would cooperate with Bai Xian without them even realizing it.

"I... am just an actor, what if..." Bai Xian was a little nervous. He knew very well that if he messed up, it might directly kill Han Fei.

"You are the best actor I have ever met, and the one who understands me the most." Han Fei held Bai Xian's hand: "Brother Bai, don't be nervous, you can do it, you are the best."
