My Iyashikei Game-Novel

Chapter 767: Every Uses

Crow, who never cared about anything, had his pupils tremble when he heard Guinea Pig. He confirmed again, “The mirror under Shou Xi Mirror Factory was not broken with force but imploded from within?”

“I’ve been to the scene. The mirror cracked from within. The death it has collected over the years is gone just like that. The bridge collapsed. We don’t know if the souls have escaped or been absorbed by him.” Guinea Pig’s eyes were cold. He pointed at Crow, “I told you to be careful. That man is not normal!”

“If the mirror is shattered, doesn’t that mean he has killed more people than me?” Crow and Guinea Pig were clearly not considering the same thing. Crow touched his Plague Doctor mask and said excitedly.

“Guinea Pig, Crow, stop arguing. Since that man can break the mirror, perhaps he’s the person our Divine has been looking for.” The Queen slowly spoke. She was placed higher than the rest. “After Butterfly’s disappearance, we haven’t had a supercriminal in a long time already. Do you get what I mean?”

“Supercriminal?” Crow pressed his palms on the edge of the table. Among the murderer’s clubhouse, the core members were more powerful than the high-class members. They were not even on the same level. And the supercriminals were more powerful than the core members. Xin Lu had been built for a very long time, but it had less than 10 supercriminals. They were a threat to the city, and the police wanted to capture them always.

“Do you think Sunny Boy has the qualification to be a supercriminal?” Guinea Pig turned to Queen.

“Perhaps he already is, but the monster inside him hasn’t been fully invoked yet.” Queen sat and examined the strange pattern on her gloves. “Even Butterfly couldn’t break that mirror, but he did. I couldn’t imagine how many people he had killed. But then again, why is he still fine if he has killed so many people?”

“Then what do you think we should do? Accept or kill him?” Guinea Pig was anxious. He felt a threat from Sunny Boy.

“One thing’s for sure. He isn’t with the police.”

“Yes. The divine mirror will not lie. The police will not find someone who has killed so much to be their spy. This kind of crazed murderer will not work for the police either.”Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

“We’ll keep a distance for now. We can make him a core member, but we can’t reveal to him our main secrets like the existence of god and the connection to the night.” Queen said.

“You’re playing with fire. If he’s really a supercriminal, we’re all his targets.” Guinea Pig turned to look at the two empty seats at the ends of the table. “Have you forgotten how Butterfly treated us? For supercriminals, the only important person is themselves.”

“Let’s stop talking about this.” Queen turned to the other side of the table. A man in a pure white mask sat there. “White, how is the situation at Sunday Night School? Have you tamed the new Butterfly?”

White shook his head. “The journey is still long.”

…

Inside the office of the Xin Lu branch’s heavy crime unit, Li Xue’s superior sat beside the table. An old man with peppery hair sat in his usual seat. “Why did you come in person? You could have had Li Xue relay everything.” The superior spoke very softly, like he was greeting his elder.

“Li Xue is the youngest of my students. Sorry for the trouble she has given you.” The elder was Li Xue’s teacher. He had started capturing Butterfly a decade ago. He was the police’s living legend.

“Li Xue has helped us a lot. But it is true that she often goes against her orders.” The superior grumbled under his breath.

“She’s too emotional.” The old man shook his head. Then, he took out a document. “I’ve received the message from my other student. Be careful.”

“Your other student?” The superior thought of something, “Is it him?”

“Yes.” The elder gave him the document. Li Xue’s superior opened the file. It was blank paper inside. “What is the meaning of this?”

“It refers to the emptiness left behind by Butterfly. It will be filled with a new monster. We might return to the era where we have to face several supercriminals simultaneously.”

…

After Han Fei reached the intelligent city, he removed his mask. Bald Eagle at the back closed his eyes shut, afraid of seeing Han Fei’s face. He had never been so scared in his life.

“We’re here.” Han Fei parked the bike and urged Bald Eagle.

“Are we going to your meat factory? Are you going to grind me into a paste to feed the dog? Let me go, and I’ll be your dog.” Bald Eagle’s voice trembled. After he saw the dead in the mirror, he really didn’t dare to imagine how Han Fei would torture him. “Shush. You’re making me sound like a crazy person.” Han Fei evaded the cameras and came to Jin Jun’s home. Jin Jun, who was notified earlier, was ready. He opened the door to welcome them.

“Is this the devil’s lair?” Bald Eagle knelt on the ground. “The human body can be made into all kinds of art. Is this black carpet weaved from human hair?”

Han Fei was too lazy to deal with Bald Eagle. He had Jin Jun prepare a Perfect Life account and had Bald Eagle register a gaming Id. During the process, Han Fei found out about Bald Eagle’s real identity. His parents were once hoteliers. After the business failed, they planned to leave the country, but for some reason, Bald Eagle stayed. Bald Eagle inside the gaming hub had no idea what was happening. The torture he feared didn’t come. Instead, the devil told him to play an Iyashikei game. After Bald Eagle logged into the game, Han Fei told Jin Jun to watch over the man while he rushed home. Han Fei reached home before midnight. He removed his raincoat and crawled into the gaming hub. Blood descended the familiar cackle became louder. Han Fei opened his eyes and checked the menu. He only had a few Life Points left. The theme park altar was still feeding on his Life Points.

“Fu Sheng’s altar is a lot more powerful than I am. I need to find a way to provide better nutrients for it.” Han Fei couldn’t sustain the altar, so the only way he could think of was to capture a ghost to replace him. With Ying Yue and Weep’s accompaniment, Han Fei entered the theme park. The many souls he saved from Fu Sheng’s altar had fully assimilated into the cryptic world. They became the new citizens of the ghost city. They were different from the cryptic world locals. They were rational and kind. When Han Fei walked past, they would even greet him.

“It’s hard to imagine something like this will exist in the cryptic world.” Ghost came in a hurry once he heard that Han Fei was coming. He had selected some citizens with great potential to form the Ghost security team. New buildings were constructed. This city belonged to everyone and Han Fei. Han Fei moved to the theme park tunnel. Every day, endless players still came here to die. Humanity’s curiosity compelled them to do so. Han Fei admired these people. Now, he wanted to make use of these players’ Life Points. Han Fei walked to the theme park altar. He had his neighbor's guard beside him. After there was no one around, Han Fei opened his menu. He chanted the word, “Spirit-farer!”

The blood door opened before Han Fei. Bald Eagle’s face and info appeared in his mind. Moments later, a small fish with a broken tail was bitten by a ghost face and carried out of the blood sea. The blood door closed, and Bald Eagle appeared before Han Fei. He was holding a small phone.

“What are you doing with that? Are you planning to call the police?” Han Fei grabbed Bald Eagle by his neck. The force woke Bald Eagle up immediately.

“No. Of course not!” Bald Eagle lowered his head so he wouldn’t see Han Fei’s face.

“Don’t worry. You can look all you want. After all, you’ll not remember anything in the end.” Han Fei dragged Bald Eagle to the theme park altar. He tried to communicate with the altar to have it consume Bald Eagle’s Life Points. Bald Eagle’s Life Points plummeted. If Han Fei didn’t react quickly, Bald Eagle’s soul would have been consumed already.

“It looks like I can’t use the other players to replace me. They’ll be sucked dry immediately.” Han Fei tossed Bald Eagle a piece of internal organ for him to recover his Life Points. This confusing act of kindness befuddled Bald Eagle. His hands that held the meat shook. “Hurry up and eat. We still have other places to go.”

When Bald Eagle’s Life Points recovered somewhat, Han Fei led him to the Midnight Mall for a trade. He asked Mirror God how much his soul was worth. Han Fei was disappointed to hear about the price. Then, he led Bald Eagle to the hospital. He had the man lay before the hospital altar. The neighbors of Happiness Neighborhood felt quite sorry for Bald Eagle. Even a Large Lingering Spirit wouldn’t visit three altars in one night.

“Even the devil is not as calculative as you. Do you plan to make a factory line out of this?” Lee Zai asked with excitement. “The soul factory line. It sounds exciting.”

“Don’t have any misunderstanding. I only target bad people.” Han Fei started to edit Bald Eagle’s memory, implanting fear and obedience deep inside his soul.

“That’s exactly what the devil would say.”

After Bald Eagle’s memory was corrected, Han Fei led him to the black rain zone. “Why is it raining here too?” The rain was a shadow in Bald Eagle’s life. Even after his memory was corrected, he had an instinctual fear of rain.

“Shush.” Han Fei led Bald Eagle to the second floor of the convenience store. He lifted the lid of the jar. “Come.”

“What is it?”

“I want to show you my flower.”

Han Fei used Soul-Depth Touch to yank Bu Kaixin out of the skull. He pointed at Bald Eagle with his other finger. “I’ve looked into your info. You should know him. His name is Bald Eagle.” Bu Kaixin covered his head. He would be in pain when he remembered his past.

“I have the power to help you leave and give you a new life, but I can also give you unimaginable pain, so don’t lie to me.” Han Fei exhausted every value on Bald Eagle. “You are a special flower, but I don’t know your special powers. The gardener said I need to cultivate feelings with you but don’t we have a close relationship already?” Han Fei opened his menu and checked Bu Kaixin’s page. Everything was still a question mark. “The things that happened to him will also happen to you, good or bad. You are already on my side. Trusting me is your only choice.” Han Fei had Bald Eagle talk to Bu Kaixin before he sent Bald Eagle back with Resurrection. At that moment, there was a notification. “Notification for Player 0000! There’s an update to a Grade E Flower!

“Bu Kaixin (Grade E Special Flower): This flower has a human name. He has never smiled, so everyone called him unhappy.

“Special power Soul Parasite: His seeds can grow in the soul of other flowers. He can corrupt other people’s memory to grow stronger.”

“Did you change your mind after seeing there’s another way I can provide?” Han Fei stared at the colorful seed in Bu Kaixin’s heart. He knew how to use this flower now. Han Fei left the convenience store and came to the clubhouse. The blind elder was sitting in the hall, toying with the broken radio. When he heard Han Fei’s footsteps, he lifted his head to look at Han Fei with his hollows as eyes.

“Sir, I want to use the dance room.”

“Do you want to practice dance?”

“Yes.” Han Fei’s main goal was to use the mirror in the dance room. He had seen something he had not seen in the mirror factory’s mirror, such as the 30 dead children. He didn’t know Mad Laughter’s memory. He wanted to meet the 30 children again, to meet the people he had killed.
