My Healing Games

Chapter 895 The Beginning of the Counterattack

In the eyes of the children in Class 7, everything in the world of the shrine's memory can be sacrificed. Rather than trying to stop the blood sacrifice of hatred, they would rather use it to help the madman be resurrected.

Number Five did not hide anything from Han Fei. Since he dared to tell Han Fei, it meant that their plan had already begun to be implemented.

"Hope New City is home to 600,000 people! Among them are many innocent souls!" Han Fei's personality breakthrough took three days and three nights, and he never expected that the students would act while he was unconscious.

“When you first broke through your personality and fell into a coma, we helped you build the foundation for your personality growth. Teacher, you owe us a life.” Number Five sat in the chair: “You are very similar to Number Zero, but you are not him after all. There is one most obvious difference between you.”

"What's the difference?"

“He has become the very thing he hates and despises, but you haven’t.” Number Five stretched. “That’s why we’re carrying you on our backs, so as not to put you in a difficult position. You just need to stay true to yourself.”

Number Five looked up at Han Fei: "Don't even think about stopping us, it's pointless. You probably don't want to become our mortal enemies, right?"

"Is there no other way to go?"

“Resurrecting Zero is the option with the highest success rate. Of course, you can try other paths, but you must remember that there is not much time left before Gao Xing’s original body returns. If he comes back early, we will all die.” Number Five smiled faintly: “We can be the bad guys, because we were originally created as monsters. You… are different from us.”

"The blood sacrifice is held on the god's birthday. If I go to the Forbidden Tower and find the shrine in advance to usurp the god's power, can you change your minds?" Han Fei did not want the children of Class Seven to become real monsters. Through his interactions with them over this period of time, Han Fei learned about each of their stories, and he did not want the tragedy to repeat itself.

“If you can successfully usurp the throne, then we will naturally have no need for a blood sacrifice. But can you do it?” Number Five turned and entered the room: “Stop acting like a child. All the children have already died in the blood-red night.”

Number Five was unwilling to provide Han Fei with more information, and Han Fei indeed underestimated them.

The Investigation Bureau cooperated with Han Fei to break into the mental hospital and the deep-sea aquarium. Everyone was actively preparing for the battle, giving the students a lot of room to maneuver.

"Investigation Team Thirteen, assemble in the cafeteria, prepare to begin the next phase of the mission!" After Han Fei finished speaking to Hei Huan, he immediately went to the cafeteria. He occupied the largest table and spread out the city map treasured by the Investigation Bureau on the table. Unlike ordinary maps, this map marked the locations of all the Black Buildings and Ghost Buildings in detail, and also wrote down the basic information and abilities of the Black Buildings' hatred. It was obtained by countless members of the Investigation Bureau who risked their lives.

While waiting for the other group members to arrive, Han Fei began to eat voraciously. After his personality breakthrough eight times, he had become even more voracious, and his stomach was like a bottomless pit, with all the meat he swallowed being digested immediately.

"Team leader, are we ready for a new operation?" Dongquan was the first to arrive, standing by the table like Han Fei's personal bodyguard.

"For the foreseeable future, we'll likely be staying in the city overrun by monsters. You'll be in charge of logistics and preparing sufficient supplies." After eight personality awakenings, Han Fei no longer fears hatred; now it's time for his hunt.

"Understood!" After receiving the order, Dongquan immediately began to prepare. Since following Han Fei, he had been living a life full of passion and fulfillment every day.

Just after Dongquan left, Yan Lan and Director Ya arrived, bringing with them several other teachers from the school.

“There are still many survivor strongholds deep in the city, and our compatriots are still living in suffering and enslavement. I will go and rescue them. As for the task of comforting the victims and helping them rebuild their homes, I will temporarily entrust it to you.” Han Fei looked at Yan Lan: “You are a natural leader. A fearless personality is the personality that is most likely to create miracles.”

“Most of the survivors from the school went to Hope New City, but they were placed in a buffer zone and were threatened by ghosts every day. A while ago, they sent me a messenger to tell me that they hoped to come back.” Yan Lan could roughly guess Han Fei’s plan: “After we integrate the survivor strongholds deep in the city, can we bring them over as well? After all, they were the ones who initially supported us.”

"You decide these things; you are the leader in this calamity." Han Fei himself also possessed a shrine. He knew that in addition to offerings, gods also needed devout faith. For example, some hatred was conjured from people's fears, and its power would gradually weaken when no one feared it anymore. The same principle applied to gods.

Ghosts and spirits serve as sacrifices to the Laughing Maniac, and survivors offer faith to him so that he can be resurrected more quickly.

After his eighth breakthrough in personality, Han Fei truly understood the meaning of "life is as insignificant as an ant's." In the struggle between two spirits for faith, everything in the city could be a sacrifice. The closer he got to that stage, the more directly he felt it.

After assigning all the tasks, Han Fei looked at the map. His Abyss of Greed could now imprison thirty-one ghosts.

Unlike before when he only pursued quantity, Han Fei can now selectively collect hatred.

He wants to select the most unique and powerful among all the dark buildings and try to devour them in order to further strengthen his greedy personality.

"To awaken my greedy personality again, I'd probably have to devour the unspeakable parts of my body directly. Even the strongest hatred can't help me break through."

Drawing one red cross after another on the map, Han Fei used a red pen to mark an area in the city occupied by ghosts. If all goes well, it will become the fourth major survivor stronghold, and the only special stronghold where humans and ghosts coexist.

"The forbidden building I'm going to is in Area A, which is completely overrun by ghosts and monsters. If we can establish a safe haven in Area A, it will benefit everyone."

Actually, there was another reason why Han Fei chose Area A: the Ghost Mother was in Area A.

He was not capable enough to rescue the Ghost Mother before, but things are different now.

“When Gao Cheng entrusted everything to me, it must have been for this moment. Now he has captured the eyes of the gods and become the ultimate hatred in the abyss of greed. He finally has the power to protect his mother.”

Han Fei genuinely believed this; he had not forgotten his promise to Gao Cheng.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, the system notification sounded.

"Attention player number 0000! You have triggered the core quest of the Shrine - Love That Can Never Be Reunited."

"Mission requirements: Help the Demon Mother remove the unspeakable curse and let her choose which child to love."

"Attention player number 0000! You have triggered the shrine random quest - The Strongest Demon!"

"Do you still remember your promise to Wuchang? You were to train him into the most terrifying and horrible ghost in this city. Then you'll understand what Wuchang, who grew up alongside Gao Cheng, truly represents!"

"Mission Requirements: Help impermanence become hatred!"

While Han Fei was contemplating the task, other members of the investigation team came over. They noticed the red crosses Han Fei had marked on the map and kindly reminded him, "Professor Gao, this kind of map is very valuable. You'd better not draw on it carelessly."

"It's okay, wherever I mark with an X, there will be no more ghosts or monsters."

After a hearty meal, Han Fei put away the map and headed towards the central square of the Investigation Bureau's base, where two modified cars and two black heavy trucks were parked.

"Team leader, the supplies are ready." Dongquan handed Han Fei a list: "Considering that we will be away for a long time this time, the two captains of the investigation team and the logistics team have specially approved some ghost blood and rare medicines for you."

"Gao Cheng, I've brought everyone. When do we set off?" Yan Lan also brought the school teachers and some of the elites from the school's strongholds to the center of the square: "Among them are doctors who can treat mental pollution, stronghold architects, and researchers of new calamity creatures. Everyone trusts you and is willing to go with you."

"Get in the car, we're going to Area A."

The members of Investigation Team 13 and the school teachers were scattered in four vehicles. They passed through three checkpoints of the Investigation Bureau and headed towards Area A, the most dangerous area in Xinhu.

"He's leaving, aren't we going to say goodbye?" The top student, carrying his rice bowl, walked to the side of the seventh-day memorial.

"It's not like he's not coming back."

"That's not necessarily true. He went to the Forbidden Building; no one has ever left that building alive." The top student admired Han Fei's courage and envied his way of living: "The Cataclysm is like a giant cage, trapping us all inside, but he's like a bird flying in that cage, desperately wanting to break through the bars and escape..."

The convoy of Investigation Team Thirteen drove out of Zone C. Director Ya, sitting in the passenger seat, was starting to panic. He glanced at the map in his hand and kept pursing his dry, cracked lips: "Where are we going to spend the night? Should we find a White House to make do for now?"

"We'll spend the night at Baokang Children's Hospital in Area A tonight," Han Fei casually replied as he drove.

"Baokang Children's Hospital?" Director Ya felt the name sounded familiar. He flipped open the map, sweat dripping down his face. "Black Building? Spending the night at Black Building tonight?"
