My Healing Games

Chapter 74, First F-Rank Mission

In a high-rise residential building in the New Shanghai Smart City, Acheng hung his phone around his neck, gazing at the dark clouds on the horizon, silently counting the fine raindrops on the window.

“Ah Cheng, you’ve been standing there for two hours. Why don’t we go find Director Jiang now? The company hasn’t responded yet. Although the company invested in this drama, you voluntarily withdrew and went on strike, which might have a bad impact.” The agent said cautiously, “Let’s invite Director Jiang to dinner and have a good talk, and we can clear things up.”

"It's only been 46 hours, I really don't understand what you're worried about?" A-Cheng scolded him for a few moments, then subconsciously reached into his pocket: "Huh? Where's my phone? Hurry up and find it! I guess Jiang Yi has already called me, but we might not have heard it!"

Seeing Ah Cheng's flustered appearance, the agent felt too embarrassed to offer any advice.

Last night, when Acheng went to sleep, he hung his phone around his neck to avoid missing Jiang Yi's call, and he hasn't taken it off since.

"Okay, then we'll do as you say and wait a little longer..."

At 8:30 p.m., Han Fei left the Criminal Investigation Brigade. He ate something on the street and hurriedly returned home.

"We've caught all the perpetrators, but the real culprit behind it all is still missing. Now I have to be careful of Butterfly's revenge." Looking at the case photos covering the wall, Han Fei was too lazy to tidy up: "Can't we just live a normal life? Why do we have to make trouble? People like this should play 'Perfect Life' and get a complete cure."

Looking at the heartwarming and healing label on the game helmet, Han Fei couldn't help but mutter, "My neighbors are all suffering. If I can pull those bastards' consciousness into the deeper layers of the game, I'll have a way to let everyone vent their despair. Sacrificing one serial killer can heal everyone. It's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it."

The principle of "every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor" holds true; those who make mistakes should be punished. Han Fei believed this was quite fair.

After practicing basic combat techniques a few times in the room, Han Fei wiped the sweat from his body and picked up the books by his bedside.

In this restless and fast-paced era, only reading and learning can relax Han Fei's mind.

"Personality disorders often begin in childhood, take shape in adolescence, and persist into adulthood or throughout life. Strictly speaking, a personality disorder is a behavioral characteristic within the scope of abnormal psychology that lies between mental illness and normal personality..."

Time always flies when you're studying hard, and before you know it, it's past 11 p.m.

Han Fei connected all the cables and put on the gaming helmet.

The whole world plunged into a sea of ​​blood. When Han Fei opened his eyes again, he found himself in a cold, dark living room.

"After coming here so many times, it really feels like coming home."

Before playing this game, Han Fei had no friends and was the type destined to grow old alone.

Now, under the pressure of the game, he has finally begun to learn how to become a "better" version of himself.

Actually, Han Fei's login to the game this time was different from before; he was filled with very complex emotions.

The murderer who created the human body puzzle ten years ago has been caught. Although Butterfly is still at large, he has at least fulfilled a wish for his roommates.

He really wanted to share this good news with his roommates, and he sincerely hoped that they could gradually emerge from despair and become a little more normal.

Han Fei doesn't expect his roommates to communicate with him freely. As long as they don't lose control again, everything he's done will be worthwhile.

Looking towards the bedroom at the deepest part of the haunted house, Han Fei mustered his courage and walked towards it.

"crunch..."

The door was pushed open, and Han Fei saw his seven roommates sitting on the edge of the bed with their backs to him.

No matter how many times Han Fei sees this scene, it's still terrifying, and he's still somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"The murderers who killed you have been brought to justice, and all those who harmed you have been punished."

Han Fei entered the room and recounted everything that had happened in reality, but his seven roommates seemed not to hear him at all. They all lowered their heads, expressionless, as if they were still struggling against the despair in their hearts, trying to prevent their last bit of humanity from being devoured.

"I can't prove what I'm saying. If only I could bring you into reality and let you see all of this with your own eyes." Han Fei sat on the bed and sighed deeply.

The idea of ​​bringing your in-game neighbors into reality is simply a pipe dream.

He still doesn't understand how to define the game he's playing. This world is isolated from the outside world, hidden in the darkest ocean, and he seems to be the only person who can freely travel between the two worlds.

Picking up paper and pen, Han Fei wrote down everything that had happened in reality and placed it next to Wei Youfu: "Youfu, you can look at this when you're sober. I'm not lying to you, the murderer has really been caught!"

Words might not do it justice, so Han Fei glanced at the television again: "I really want to record the trial so we can all watch it together, but it seems my control panel doesn't have a recording function..."

Thinking of this, Han Fei suddenly narrowed his eyes: "The normal Perfect Life game can transmit video and audio recordings! It can even create and recreate scenes from memories within the game. If this is really the deep world of the Perfect Life game, then I only need to bring them to the surface of the game so that they can witness the murderer being brought to justice!"

Han Fei originally only wanted to find his own way out and escape this world full of dangers, but now he wants to lead his neighbors away together.

"Finding the portal between the deep world and the shallow world should be extremely difficult. If I survive until then, I'll probably have a lot of friends and neighbors. After all, based on the information we have now, this is a game that strongly encourages social interaction..."

Han Feizhen suspected that when that day came, he might cause turmoil in the entire game world and even in reality.

"Wouldn't this be considered opening Pandora's box? Single-handedly dragging the entire game into a supernatural world?"

Shaking his head, Han Fei didn't want to be the mastermind behind the supernatural resurgence, nor did he want to become a public enemy and be regarded as the most abnormal BOSS in the game.

"You're thinking too far ahead. I'd better focus on surviving first."

Han Fei tidied up the few sheets of paper he had placed next to Wei Youfu and slowly left the room.

Just as he closed the door, Wei Youfu, who had been keeping his head down and expressionless, picked up the few pieces of paper.

His pale fingers were covered in black blood vessels, and his mutilated body trembled uncontrollably after reading the words on the paper.

As Han Fei left the bedroom and stepped into the living room, the system's cold voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Attention Player 0000! You have successfully triggered an F-rank quest – Human Puzzle!"

"Human Puzzle (F-Rank Crimson Quest): Seven human puzzle pieces are hidden in the seven rooms of this apartment building! You need to find them all within three days!"

"Attention! This quest is far beyond the player's level! A special reward will be awarded upon completion of the quest!"
