My Healing Games

Chapter 785 Seamless Integration into the Lives of Local Residents

This was the first time Han Fei had ever seen such a depraved and filthy place in the Deep World. The monsters in other places were at most brutal and fierce, but this skyscraper was eroding people's hearts and causing their souls to rot.

The depths of the Red Alley and the outside world are two different worlds. Under the dim red light, all the "guests" who come here shed their usual disguises and frantically vent their long-suppressed desires. Their perverted and terrifying thoughts are satisfied. As for the men and women locked in the rooms, they are not even considered toys.

However, although this place is extremely filthy and disgusting, it has some advantages over reality, namely fairness.

If a "guest" doesn't want to leave after losing everything, they will become a new "toy" in the room; this is the order of Red Alley.

Walking through the moldy streets, the stench in the air made my soul restless. Just by listening to the sounds coming from the rooms on both sides, I could roughly imagine the miserable state inside.

Sister Hong didn't dare to look up, gritted her teeth and walked forward. It took them a long time to reach the end of the 30-meter-long corridor.

Thick scabs were piled up on the ground, from which strange red plants grew, looking like fingers sticking out of the bloody mud.

“The tobacco leaves for Blood Smoke were planted by the owner of Red Alley. Everyone on this floor smokes Blood Smoke, but only he knows the process of making it.” Sister Hong looked at the blood-red door at the end of the corridor, her eyes filled with a mixture of ambition, hatred and fear: “The believers of the gods hate coming here, so we have plenty of time to prepare.”

"Leave it to me." Han Fei only had one drop of blood, but there was no hesitation in his expression.

Han Fei touched the ghost pattern with his finger and softly called out to Nine Lives. A stitched monster with a cat's face crawled out from the ghost pattern.

Having spent so much time together, Nine Lives no longer harbored any hostility towards Han Fei, and its loyalty had been greatly enhanced within Fu Sheng's memory shrine.

"Open the door."

Hands covered in stitches pushed open the moldy door panel, and Jiuming pulled open the door to the Red Alley owner's room.

Thick, sticky bloodstains seeped out from under the door, and the pungent stench of the corpse couldn't be masked even by the smoke from the blood.

Han Fei and Sister Hong looked into the house together. The spacious living room was filled with various modification tools, and the walls were covered with patches of human skin.

Strange, reddish-brown things grew on the ground covered in blood and mud; it was unclear whether they were animals or plants.

Covering his mouth and nose, Han Fei pulled out a dark shadow from the ghost pattern and let it enter the house with Nine Lives.

After confirming that there was no sure-kill trap, Han Fei walked to the center of the living room and looked towards the bedroom next door. In the luxuriously decorated room, there was a huge mirror, and a woman who was nearly two meters tall was sitting in front of the mirror playing with her hair.

The woman had her head down, her skin was as white as snow without any blemishes, and her figure was incredibly well-proportioned. Just from her back view, she must be an absolute beauty.

"Is she the owner of Red Alley?"

The door suddenly closed automatically, and the blood and mud on the ground surged like waves. The woman sitting in front of the bedroom mirror carefully tidied her long hair, and then slowly turned her head.

Beneath the perfect exterior lies a festering, uneven face covered in scars.

"Who let you in?" The man's voice came from that face, and as he spoke, the skin on his face cracked open.

A malevolent gaze swept over the old man and Nine Lives, finally settling on Han Fei: "What a beautiful face! But I hate handsome, perfect men!"

The hidden profession of Gui Fu seems to have a negative effect on the master of the Red Alley, who launched an attack on Han Fei without saying a word.

The monster was incredibly fast. Han Fei only saw a white shadow flash by before five slender, pale fingers appeared in front of him.

The snow-white, silky skin, as smooth as milk, began to crack from the fingertips, revealing the pitted, necrotic bone underneath.

"So fast?"

Han Fei had already brought his Dawn Butcher skills to the extreme, but he still couldn't completely dodge. Fortunately, he was cautious and calm, and he had taken "double insurance" for himself before entering the house.

The Nine-Lives Cat Demon is in the open, while Xu Qin's little pet is in the shadows.

The owner of the red alley did not notice that there was a subtle difference between the shadow around Han Fei and the surrounding darkness. Just as he was about to pierce Han Fei's head, a deep black "giant python" bit his arm hard.

"To be reborn!"

Most ordinary players would choose a more cautious approach when they have only one drop of health left and cannot quit the game, but Han Fei is a very special player.

The dazzling blade light dispelled the blood mist inside the room, and Han Fei aimed a slash at the neck of the owner of Red Alley!

Foul-smelling black blood was scattered on the ground, and the head of the Red Alley owner, which looked incredibly beautiful from behind, rolled to the ground.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The old man and Sister Hong were also very surprised. They originally thought that Han Fei was a beast tamer-like being with a weak body, but that slash just now had completely proven Han Fei's close combat ability.

From their perspective, Han Fei seemed to have everything under control, using himself as bait and remaining calm and composed even when the enemy was right in front of him.

"The system did not notify you of any kills?"

Han Fei decisively created distance, stopping the old man and Sister Hong from getting closer: "That monster isn't dead yet!"

Black blood kept flowing from the neck of the owner of Red Alley. After the headless corpse stood there for a while, many cracks began to appear at the cut on its neck. The perfect new human skin was peeled off little by little, revealing the ugly, dirty, and deformed man inside.

"Prepare to retreat!" Han Fei shouted to Sister Hong and the old man. They all thought Han Fei had sensed danger, but who knew that in the next second, they would see a very shocking scene.

A gigantic demon, nearly five meters tall, crawled out of the demonic markings, crashing through the walls of the living room and the adjacent room, and biting at the Red Alley owner who was still undergoing his "transformation," accompanied by a torrent of calamity.

Han Fei knew that the owner of Red Alley must have some special abilities to occupy it, but in a life-or-death battle, he wouldn't be foolish enough to give the other party time to use their special abilities.

The owner of the red alley never expected that such a terrifying creature would crawl out of the body of a clean-looking, ordinary young man.

It tried to resist, but it was too late. The Great Evil bit its body, and the pitch-black soul poison crashed against its soul like a giant wave.

The Nine-Lives Cat Demon is a decoy; Xu Qin's little pet, the Shadow Python, is the real killer move—the Great Calamity.

Painful screams rang out, and the bloody and brutal scene made Sister Hong feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The owner of Red Alley is very difficult to kill; no one knows how to inflict a fatal wound on it, nor does anyone know what it has done to its own body.

However, the Great Evil had no such concerns. It was prepared to devour the owner of Red Alley whole, no matter where his heart was hidden, it would crush and digest it all.

A dozen seconds later, only a pool of black blood remained on the ground. Da Nie's abdomen swelled slightly. Xu Qin's shadowy figure stared longingly at Da Nie, wanting a share, but dared not approach.

"That's how he was killed?"

Seemingly in response to Sister Hong's question, Da Nie opened his mouth and spat out a tattered human skin.

On its back, next to Zhu Wu's name, a new name appeared—Chang Mazi.

After the new crime was introduced, Da Nie's skin seemed to have been enhanced to some extent.

"Attention Player 0000! You have successfully killed the Ghost Craftsman and destroyed his new clothes! There is only one last step to complete the mission: you need to repair the new clothes according to your own ideas!"

The mastermind has been killed, but the mission is not yet complete.

Han Fei picked up the "clothes" from the ground and went into the Ghost Craftsman's bedroom, which had been decorated as his daughter's room.

On the surface, it seemed like nothing, but after a closer search, Han Fei realized just how monstrous the Ghost Craftsman truly was.

He modified the wooden bed and wardrobe to provide him with hiding places and for spying.

In the drawer of the Ghost Craftsman's dressing table, Han Fei also found a very exquisite little box containing a tattered diary filled with words of despair.

The adopted daughter discovered the charlatan's actions, but instead of stopping, he intensified his crimes.

After turning his adopted daughter into clothes, he also specially collected her diary, constantly flipping through it to find the feeling he had back then.

"He's really quite ill!"

Han Fei also found the blueprints for the new clothes designed by the ghost craftsman and various tools in the drawer. In addition, through the clues provided in his adopted daughter's diary, he found a strange order and bottles filled with reddish-brown liquid in the compartment under the wooden bed.

"The craftsman kept the coins and his adopted daughter's diary in the drawer, but hid this thing in a secret compartment. It seems that this thing is more important than the money and his adopted daughter's belongings."

The order cover featured a withered flower, somewhat resembling the symbol of a death-spreading group chat. The order itself was absurd, demanding that the craftsman take one hundred pieces of female victim's skin to make the most beautiful dress.

There was no time limit; the advance payment from the other party consisted of just a few old, worn-out bottles.

“That bottle doesn’t contain wine, it contains tiny insects and the blood of believers.” When Sister Hong saw that Han Fei wanted to open the bottle to check, she quickly stopped him: “The blood smoke in Red Alley is made with this stuff and corpses. It’s a contraband, and if the believers see it, it will cause a lot of trouble.”

"Isn't this building the territory of the gods? How dare anyone lay a hand on his followers?"

"They're capable of anything to satisfy their inner evil." Sister Hong stared at the bottles under the bed, a glint of greed in her eyes: "These blood vials will help us better control Red Alley."

"Is Red Alley your only goal?" Han Fei casually tossed the bone coins from the Red Alley owner's drawer into the giant monster's mouth, then dragged his tattered "clothes" outside.

Sister Hong and the old man followed behind Han Fei: "What are you going to do?"

"Repair this garment." Han Fei stood in the corridor as Da Nie and Jiu Ming emerged from the blood-red smoke and opened the doors to the guest rooms.

Those guests who were still venting their resentment and anger and torturing the men and women in the room had no idea that such a terrible thing would suddenly happen.

Blood rained down, and the screams in the Red Alley were especially piercing tonight.

As the instigator of everything, Han Fei stood between two rows of guest rooms, a smile on his face that seemed to disdain fate.

"If I can successfully exit the game this time, I can go to the real world and ask the police for help to investigate all the murder cases that have occurred in Shanghai in the past fifty years. After I have a better understanding of those cases, it will be much easier for me to go back to this building to do things. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle."

Han Fei was not afraid of accidentally entering the building. Even though he only had one drop of blood left, he was still trying his best to survive.

Of course, only Han Fei himself felt that he was struggling to survive. The old man and Sister Hong both thought that he was in his element here, as if he was born for this land of sin.

Insidious, cunning, evil, powerful, mysterious, and with madness ingrained in his bones, this unruly and ambitious supervillain also possesses the abilities of a crime-hunting mastermind.

"You two come and help too."

Nine Lives and Great Evil dragged corpses out of the guest room. Han Fei took out the Ghost Craftsman's design drawings, selected suitable skin, and repaired the new clothes.

Most of the people in this red alley are guilty, but Han Fei does not kill innocent people indiscriminately. He will use the Rebirth Butcher's Blade to test them, and he will try to give any resident who still has humanity a chance.

As for those who have completely lost their humanity, Han Fei would not treat them as human beings.

"Attention Player 0000! You have successfully completed the hidden map quest, Rank E – The Ghost Craftsman's Case! You have received double experience! You have obtained the Rank F common talent, Skillful Hands! You have obtained the qualification to change to the hidden class, Crime Soldiers!"

"Skillful Hands (Hands of Sin): Your hands have become more dexterous, providing an extra bonus when engaging in criminal activities!"

"Criminal Enforcer (85% Job Match): Successfully capture or kill one hundred special criminals to complete the job advancement!"
