My Healing Games

Chapter 913 A Brand New World

“I never thought of the teacher as our enemy. On the contrary, I’ve always helped him. It’s just that I never overestimate human nature, nor do I underestimate its complexity.” Number Two didn’t answer Number Four’s question directly. He looked at the other children: “Take Number Zero’s idol with you. We need to get out of here as soon as possible. If we get caught, it might cause misunderstandings among the survivors.”

The children of Class 7 evacuated from underground and, having collected a large number of offerings, became the sole winners of this war.

The flesh and blood on the ground had dried up. Han Fei led the special personality holders from the three survivor strongholds, chasing those who harbored hatred all the way to the old city before stopping.

It wasn't that Han Fei didn't want to devour more hatred, but his spirit and will no longer allow him to continue controlling the ghosts.

Standing on the dividing line between the old city and the new city, Han Fei's figure was forever etched in everyone's hearts, and they probably would never forget the scene before them for the rest of their lives.

The survivors, who had retreated into the city fortress, had never fought back so fiercely. They repelled the calamity and drove away the evil spirits that had invaded their homes.

Blood flowed like a river behind them, dark clouds piled up overhead, and the gods were enraged, but the crowd roared, for this was the first time they had reversed their fate through their own strength.

"Next, I will lead you to reclaim what belongs to us." Han Fei looked at the city's horizon, his ambition burning like a black fire of hatred.

In the past, people submitted to the privileged class of Hope City out of desperation and for protection; now they follow Han Fei entirely because of a certain belief. Something long dead within them has been awakened, something that makes them no longer afraid of ghosts and death, giving them courage and strength. This is the pride of being human.

“We are not food for monsters, nor are we slaves of large strongholds. Everything we do is for ourselves, to prevent our families from continuing to live in darkness, to prevent our descendants from still hiding in the cracks of the earth, and to ensure that we can still see the rising sun tomorrow.”

Han Fei turned around and looked at the special personality holders who had survived the bloody battlefield: "I will stand at the forefront of you until those evil spirits are wiped out!"

With the abyss and the starry river appearing simultaneously, Han Fei, having reached the limits of his personality, was qualified to make a promise to everyone.

He didn't send anyone to their deaths for his goals; he led from the front. His desire to protect everyone was a hundred times more effective than the speeches of privileged individuals. After all, one was charging into battle, while the other hid in a heavily protected fortress.

The heavy clouds symbolizing the old gods were torn apart, and rays of sunlight fell on the battlefield, like bright snowflakes.

The war brought Han Fei unprecedented prestige. He single-handedly broke the deadlock and saved all the survivors of the three strongholds. In the hearts of all the living people, the name Gao Cheng had far surpassed that of Gao Xing.

The most brutal battle for the divine throne has officially begun. Gao Cheng, who was originally at a significant disadvantage, has gradually emerged from the shadow of joy.

Gathering their strength, Han Fei and all the special personality holders returned to Hope New City, marking the first time humanity had returned as victors.

The civilians who had been hiding in the city took to the streets and showed their most sincere respect to their savior.

One gate after another opened, and Han Fei, at the invitation of the high-ranking survivors of the three strongholds, entered the core area of ​​Hope New City for the first time.

Even at the height of the war, the core area of ​​Hope City was not captured. This was the headquarters of Deep Space Technology and the last bastion built by human elites. They still had a trump card hidden and had not used it. It was one of the few remaining trump cards of the survivors.

Han Fei secretly contacted Kong Tiancheng in his mind and told him to prepare in advance, as he was about to try to do something that would be revolutionary enough to change the world.

Fu Sheng never accomplished that, and none of the previous owners of the black box have succeeded either.

It is hoped that the true managers of the new city have been waiting for Han Fei for a long time, and they both love and fear his arrival.

They loved Han Fei because he helped them out of a life-or-death crisis, and they feared him because his appearance threatened their rule. Having once held absolute power, they worried that Han Fei would take it away from them.

Ordinary individuals with eight personality awakenings are far less terrifying than Han Fei. The seven waves of hatred that swept across the battlefield were enough to make all the high-ranking officials tremble with fear. Power can control strength, but Han Fei's power has clearly exceeded their control.

Upon seeing Han Fei enter, some shrewd individuals tried to approach him to learn what kind of person he was, but Han Fei had no intention of engaging with them.

It is hoped that all the middle-level managers in the new city will be sent out to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded, while the real decision-makers will remain in the core urban area.

Entering the largest conference room in the core urban area, in a hall filled with blood, Han Fei saw the leaders of the three survivor strongholds.

It is hoped that the new city will be jointly managed by seven representatives of the New City Council. Among them are an eight-times awakened individual who symbolizes the strongest combat power, a deep space technology leader who possesses the most advanced technology, and a logistics organization federation that controls food and the necessities of life for 600,000 people. All seven are powerful figures in the new city.

Beside the conference table, besides the seven representatives, sat Li Xue, the director of the Calamity Investigation Bureau, and two special personality holders from Freeport.

Free Port is the gateway for Shanghai to communicate with the outside world. The identities of the two individuals with special personality awakenings are not simple. One of them, the one with a second personality awakening, is the youngest son of the highest person in charge of Free Port, and the other, the one with an eighth personality awakening, is the guardian of the underground chamber of commerce of Free Port.

Han Fei stood alone on one side of the conference table, looking directly at everyone present: "The crisis in Xincheng has been temporarily averted, but an even greater crisis will soon occur."

He recounted everything about happiness, the war between ghosts and survivors, which was essentially a struggle between new and old gods.

When Gao Xing's true form arrives, all survivors will be tortured and killed. If those present are unwilling to become servants and food on the table, they will have no choice but to stand with Han Fei.

"God will appear no later than his birthday. Until then, I hope you can cooperate with me and help the new god occupy the shrine. Everything you have will be preserved then. I can promise you all that."

Empty promises are worthless, and the powerful figures in the meeting room did not take Han Fei's words to heart. When faced with a common threat, they could unite and cooperate, but once the crisis was over, they would start fighting amongst themselves for their own selfish interests.

"You don't need to worry that my power will affect you. After I've rested, I will enter the Forbidden Building of Eternal Life in Area A alone to thoroughly investigate the source of the calamity and destroy the gate connecting to the world of ghosts and monsters."

Compared to the inhuman ghosts, the rulers of Hope City are more worried about Han Fei. By tearing apart the ghost realm and driving hatred into the old city, Han Fei's prestige among the ordinary people and those with special personalities in Hope City is unmatched.

Han Fei has shaken the foundations of their rule, but they have no way to deal with him using the same methods they use against ghosts. The best solution for them now is to have Han Fei killed by the ghosts, which would weaken the ghosts' power and restore the balance of power among the various factions.

"No one has ever left the Forbidden Tower alive? Are you sure you want to try?" The representative from Deep Space Technology looked Han Fei up and down. He saw certain qualities in Han Fei that other leaders did not have. This young man's eyes were burning with madness, and his burning ambition seemed to be more than just a new city of hope could satisfy.

"Yes, I can also guarantee that I won't interfere in the affairs of your three strongholds, but you need to fully cooperate with me during the time before the God's birthday." If the attempt to usurp the God's throne fails, the God's birthday will be the day everyone dies, and any more time will be meaningless to Han Fei.

"How do you want us to cooperate?" asked the eighth-personality awakener from Hope City. He had always been wary of Han Fei's power. As an eighth-personality awakener himself, he was well aware of the gap between himself and Han Fei.

“I will help all the wounded heal their mental pollution and remove their curses, but I need to build a statue of a new god in the city. I need the faith of all the survivors.”

Faith is a mysterious and intangible thing, but it does exist. After the representatives exchanged ideas, they signaled Han Fei to continue.

"Secondly, I want to explore a completely new model in which humans and ghosts can coexist on an equal footing."

After Han Fei finished speaking, even Li Xue, who had initially been his biggest supporter, became somewhat serious, and everyone turned their attention to him.

"After the calamity broke out, the deep-seated hatred between the survivors and the ghosts cannot be easily resolved by any one person. The fear and hatred of ghosts are deeply rooted in people's hearts. You want the survivors to live with ghosts? That's just a pipe dream!" The eighth personality awakener in Hope City smiled coldly.

"Ghosts feed on the resentment, negative emotions, and fear of the living. The more people fear, the happier and more powerful they become. This is how hatred is formed in many types of ghost stories. In addition, not all ghosts lose their minds. Apart from the evil spirits that crawled out of the deep world at the very beginning, a considerable number of them were once living people! They retain their memories and emotions from their previous lives, and are not much different from you and me!" Han Fei's will entered his mind, and the Abyss of Greed opened a small rift.

Black mist spread through the conference room, and all the representatives were on high alert: "What do you want to do?!"

"Let me show you a few ghosts." Han Fei first released Kong Tiancheng's soul, then released Yin Shang who retained his memories from his previous life, and the last few souls were the family members and friends of the high-ranking officials of Hope New City.

He had been preparing for a long time, having Yin Shang keep an eye out for special souls in the city occupied by ghosts and monsters, and gather everyone together.

"Some of the ghosts you hate are people you once loved deeply."
