My Healing Games

Chapter 938 The Net and the Night

After obtaining the contact information of all the surviving children, Han Fei also told Rose and the boss about part of his plan. However, for those children, the first thing to consider now is not revenge against Immortal Pharmaceuticals, but protecting themselves.

Only by living can we see the future we long for.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The ward door was pushed open, and Li Xue and her colleagues entered the room. In front of Qiangwei, they escorted Han Fei away.

"Let's go to headquarters. Our leader also wants to see you." Li Xue drove herself, while Han Fei, whose body had not fully recovered, was protected by two heavily armed police officers in the middle of the back seat.

"I'm fine, you don't need to protect me like this." Han Fei felt that he was still having social anxiety, so he wasn't used to being treated like this by the police.

“Xinhu is in great danger right now. The situation has reached a very tense point.” If Li Xue, as a police officer, said this, it means that the situation is really bad: “On the surface, it may not seem like anything, but in fact, we have already clashed with the three major criminal organizations several times on battlefields that you cannot see. They are much more cunning and powerful than we expected.”

"An invisible battlefield?"

“A battlefield more brutal than armed conflict and bloodshed, those madmen destroyed Shanghai’s network barriers, opened up information cocoons, and sent countless viruses and logic bombs into the city’s information network.” Li Xue’s expression was extremely serious: “They used the arrival of night as a signal to launch their attack, fighting against the city’s Skynet system, trying to disrupt the city’s air traffic control, paralyze the communication system and the financial system. This is a comprehensive, three-dimensional and all-round attack, gradually spreading panic throughout the city, inciting negative psychology among the people, amplifying fear, and creating chaos throughout the city.”

All three criminal organizations are full of psychopathic killers and hysterical antisocial individuals, but undeniably, many of them are also psychologically twisted geniuses.

The fierce battle Han Fei had imagined did not occur. The unspeakable beings avoided their weaknesses and set the battlefield in a place where they were good at it.

As the unspeakable aspects of the deeper world, whether it be dreams, joy, or butterflies, they are extremely adept at manipulating human nature, and all negative emotions are their tools and food.

"Disrupting the city's information system, influencing everyone's psychology, and manipulating public emotions—these guys seem to be playing a war game without gunpowder." Han Fei knew the unspeakable horrors, but he didn't expect that even after the deep world was completely blocked, they could still do this.

"The enemy is formidable, but we are not to be trifled with either. Up until now, those madmen have not truly breached the core control system. Currently, both sides are engaged in continuous attack and defense around Deep Space Technology's seventh-generation AI." Li Xue told Han Fei some inside information.

"The seventh-generation AI brain? Isn't that the core of Shanghai's new smart city?"

“That’s right. The members of the three major criminal organizations are no longer satisfied with killing people with their own hands. They want to seize the smart city and make the city kill people. All the self-driving cars, messenger birds, and urban sanitation robots will become killing tools in their hands.” Li Xue’s eyes were filled with deep worry: “At that time, those artificial intelligence butlers and the medical equipment used in hospitals will also become killers who know their masters best.”

After listening to Li Xue's description, Han Fei indeed felt very pessimistic. He frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized a point of doubt: "Compared to those you mentioned above, isn't the 'Perfect Life' virtual game, which has hundreds of millions of players, even more dangerous? All the players' consciousnesses enter the mental paradise constructed by the AI. What if all these players are controlled by ghosts..."

Han Fei was so anxious that he even uttered the word "ghost".

“All information indicates that the other party has not attacked ‘Perfect Life’ for the time being,” one of Li Xue’s colleagues replied.

"The three major criminal organizations are besieging Deep Space Technology with all their might. Could this main battlefield be deliberately set up to hide something? Could their real target be another super giant—Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals?" Han Fei saw the worst future in the shrine. He knew very well that on Thursday, Gao Xing and the core members of the three major criminal organizations, with the help of Xiao Gui, would infiltrate the Eternal Life Building and open the passage between the deep world and reality.

Is deep space technology just a smokescreen?

Han Fei looked at the person beside him and suddenly asked, "What day of the week is it today?"

"Wednesday."

Hearing Li Xue's voice, Han Fei broke out in a cold sweat: "This is a huge problem! We might have been deceived by those criminals! We must take immediate action!"

Having witnessed the worst of the future, Han Fei was understandably panicked, though to others his behavior appeared somewhat neurotic. However, the police in the car didn't truly believe Han Fei was mentally ill; in their previous collaborations, Han Fei had proven he possessed an extraordinary "criminal intuition."

Upon arriving at headquarters, Han Fei met Li Xue's superior, who was none other than the captain of the investigation team of the Calamity Investigation Bureau.

Without any pleasantries or small talk, Han Fei went straight to the point, telling the other party about the part of the future he had seen in the world of memories in the shrine.

"Members of the three major criminal organizations will enter the Eternal Life Building on Thursday. Their real target is the black box hidden in the basement of the building. There is a man named Fu Yun in Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals. He is an inside man for the three major criminal organizations."

Simply saying this would be hard for the police to believe, but Han Fei was prepared for it. He compiled the information he had memorized and exposed the shady dealings within Yong Sheng Pharmaceutical: "All my speculations are based on evidence."

"How do you know these things?"

"Several conscientious employees of Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals told me this." Han Fei originally wanted to use Du Jing's name first, but he was worried about causing trouble for her, so he simply said it this way. When Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals is liquidated in the future, Han Fei also plans to use this reason to recruit some talents.

“Your information is of great help to our investigation of Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals, but the enemy we are facing now is not Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals, but the criminals hiding in the city.” The leader’s expression was solemn. He instructed his subordinates to verify the authenticity of the information and to immediately launch the corresponding investigation.

“I understand.” Han Fei wasn’t a child; he understood the rules of the game perfectly. “I gave you all the information so you could force Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals to fully cooperate. When profit can’t sway them, then use enough power to destroy them and force them to submit. Fu Yun of Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals is a breakthrough point. In the past, Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals would protect Fu Yun to cover up their past crimes. Now that you have evidence of their crimes, I believe Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals will definitely pin all the blame on Fu Yun and make him the scapegoat.”

With a formidable enemy at hand, we must unite all forces.

Looking at Han Fei sitting at the table, the leader's solemn expression eased: "Now I know why that old man wanted to take you as his last student in the final moments of his life."

Achieving justice in one's heart is a process, and Han Fei handled this very well. He was not blinded by hatred, nor did he sacrifice more lives, nor did he become an unjust person in order to achieve justice.

"Go back and get some rest. Leave the rest to us. I will personally communicate with the senior management of Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals." The leader placed his hand on the evidence of crimes summarized by Han Fei: "I believe they will also prioritize the overall situation."

After exchanging some more information, Han Fei was sent out of the headquarters. He looked at the bustling and lively streets, but the ordinary people had no idea how dangerous the new Shanghai was now.

"Tomorrow is Thursday, we must stop Gao Xing." Han Fei dialed Huang Ying's number and found that Huang Ying had already arrived near his home. Huang Ying was very worried about Han Fei.

After returning to his residence in a police car, Han Fei saw Huang Ying in the courtyard as soon as he got out of the car. Next to Huang Ying was a huge wooden box covered with a black cloth.

After the police left, Huang Ying dared to approach Han Fei: "I've brought the NPC from the game that you asked me to bring out. To be honest, I'm quite shocked."

"What's so shocking?"

"That white box doesn't seem like a prop designed by game programmers. It's more like a special reward that 'Perfect Life' generated by itself under extremely coincidental circumstances." Huang Ying waved his hand: "I don't know how to explain it to you. Just look at it yourself."

After waiting until there were no pedestrians around, Huang Ying opened the wooden box, inside which lay his home's smart home assistant.

"Where's the white box? Why did you bring the butler along?"

"The NPC's consciousness inside the white box is in the butler's body." As Huang Ying gave the command, the intelligent butler left the wooden box and walked towards Han Fei's house: "The consciousness transfer that Yong Sheng Pharmaceutical has been researching, changing the body to obtain immortality, seems to be really successful."

After closing the door, Huang Ying input a new command into the head of the AI ​​butler. The AI ​​butler collapsed to the ground, but stood up again a few minutes later.

Compared to before, the smart home assistant's gaze underwent a subtle change.

Looking at the intelligent butler in front of them, Han Fei and Huang Ying both felt a strange sense of fear. It was like a human, but it wasn't human.

“The white box can carry consciousness in the game ‘Perfect Life’. I followed the instructions of the AI ​​and exported it step by step, and it became what it is now.” Huang Ying was also afraid of damaging the white box: “You can try to communicate with her. The consciousness in the AI ​​butler’s bionic brain comes from the white box.”

Han Fei sat down politely next to the smart home assistant: "Do you still remember me?"

Without any manual intervention, the smart assistant nodded very slightly.

"I can take you to find Gao Xing. Can you tell me where he usually stays?" Han Fei looked at the smart home assistant nervously. The assistant seemed unable to speak yet, and it took a long time to write a single word on the paper in a crooked and messy manner—"home".
