My Iyashikei Game

Be it Kind Soul or Evil Soul, they were sides of Han Fei. No. 2 dragged Han Fei out of his mind. Even though they had different personalities, their fates were tied together. A broken mind and different Taboos. Han Fei’s fate threads were joined together by No. 2. The invisible fate threads pierced through the building made from dead bodies. After Han Fei acquired the second brain fragment, he could sense the location of the other fragments.

“No. 2 wants to absorb all the souls that are helping me suppress the Red Orphanage. Is he helping Mad Laughter or me?”

Han Fei tried to contract the other brain fragments in the skyscraper. They were hidden in the most secluded corners of the building.

“I know No. 2 wants to release Mad Laughter, but I can only follow his path for now. Only No. 2 knows the way to defeat God and leave the skyscraper. From the moment I entered the building, I fell into No. 2’s trap.

“No. No. 2 aided the dancer in leaving the building. His clubhouse is right next to the theme park. The man is waiting for me.”

Han Fei’s fate overlapped with No. 2’s. He gained the power of the brain fragment, and in exchange, he had to loosen the binding on Mad Laughter. ‘If I have a bad relationship with Mad Laughter, I would have to work together with him to survive. If I have a good relationship with Mad Laughter, I will not stop the Red Orphanage from appearing in my mind. This is No. 2’s conspiracy.’

Sensing the change within Han Fei, Xu Qin walked to his side, “Don’t worry. If anyone forces you to do things you don’t want to, I’ll help you stop them.” The neighbors of the Happiness Neighborhood supported him unconditionally. In this dark skyscraper, that gave Han Fei hope. Big Sin spat a mouthful of Soul Poison at the corner

“It’s fine. It’s just a small misunderstanding with a friend.” Han Fei needed No. 2’s help. He remembered the system notification when he received the first brain fragment—he might still be alive. Xu Qin nodded and tossed the fat kid before Han Fei. “He has hidden divinity on him, and I found a special poker card in his pocket.”

Han Fei was shocked when he saw the King of Clubs. “Why would this brat have a ghost card?”

The boy, covered in curses, kept begging for mercy. Corrupted by death and curses, the boy’s face started to change. Han Fei picked up the boy and stared into his face for a long time, and then his pupils shrunk. “No wonder he felt so familiar! I’ve seen his picture among the police’s A-grade fugitives, heartless ghost!”

“Heartless Ghost?” Ji Zheng couldn’t tell how scary this boy was.

“Before Xin Lu Countryside was abandoned, there was an infamous serial killer. He grew up in a twisted environment. When he was young, his parents hit someone on the road and ran. The selfish family turned him into a monster. First, the family of three murdered the grandmother and then blamed everything on the caretaker, who was concerned about the old lady.

“After the boy grew up, he killed his parents and started his life as a fugitive. While he was on the run, he had committed many crimes where he dug out his victims’ hearts…”

The boy suddenly struggled. “I didn’t! I have never killed anyone! Those people wanted to hurt me! My best friend had to kill them to save me!”

Heartless Ghost in the police files was a vicious and crazy fugitive, but King of Clubs in the skyscraper was a child who couldn’t grow up. He was naïve and stupid, living on a floor filled with paper dolls.

“It looks like he’s another one of God’s abandoned pieces.” Ji Zheng looked at the boy. “He was playmate with God, but God only saw him as a scapegoat. Poor thing doesn’t even know the truth.”

“What if he does? He’s just a toy. How can the toy resist its owner?”

“That’s not true. We’re best friends!” The boy struggled, but he couldn’t do anything to really hurt Han Fei.

“You still speak like a child. No wonder you can’t grow up.” Han Fei held the boy with one hand and picked up the King of Clubs with another.

“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve obtained a Ghost Card, King of Clubs. You’ve unlocked the final part of the Ghost Card Mission!

“Ghost Card (Grade D): Create criminals and collect sin. This deck of cards represents more than a list of criminals. It is the pair of eyes looking at humanity from the bottom of the abyss.

“Requirement for the final stage: Confirm the identity of Big Ghost and Small Ghost! The greater you damage Big Ghost and Small Ghost, the greater your reward!

“Warning! The owners of the four King cards have some info!”

The case finally reached its final stage. The reward for completing a hidden map mission was always double. This mission was a unique mission too. If Han Fei could complete this mission, he would be given a very lucrative reward.

‘I wasn’t given anything after completing the second stage of the mission.” Han Fei grabbed the boy by his collar. “What’s your best friend’s name? Tell me everything you know about him?” Han Fei showed his scariest side. The boy’s pants became wet. He wiped his tears and answered Han Fei honestly. The boy’s best friend was Gao Xing. They were friends at school and were often bullied together. However, the fat boy never fought back, but Gao Xing did every time. But Gao Xing would be bullied even more because of it. Through the boy, Han Fei knew more about Goa Xing’s life at school. However, the identity of Big Ghost and Small Ghost was still a mystery. Han Fei tried to force him, but the boy’s memory was stuck at eight years old. To know the truth, Han Fei used Soul-depth touch on the boy. Han Fei saw a thin boy holding a knife. That was the only memory the fat boy had.

“Unmentionable has turned him into the image he wanted. The memory related to the boy has been sealed up.” Han Fei was pondering how to deal with this boy when the shadow of Han Fei’s kind soul walked over. With Han Fei’s permission, he swallowed the boy.

The altar shadow contained a house of death within its body. It could help one escape from calamity and deprive one of one’s death memories.

Han Fei had died more than a hundred times in a manager mission and had died 99 times in the altar world, so his House of Death was very powerful. The boy who was trapped inside the House of Death collapsed to the ground. Fate threads crawled over him and soon swallowed him. The boy cried for mercy. His voice changed, and he became more like an adult. Eventually, an ugly old man appeared on the ground. This was the true form of the King of Clubs.

“Notification for Player 0000! The House of Death can exist for another 5 minutes! Collect No. 2’s brain fragments and strengthen one’s death memory can make the House of Death last longer.”

Han Fei heard the system notification and quickly entered the house made from death. The old man on the ground looked like he was dying. God needed a childhood friend and not an elder who was dying. No matter how hard the elder called, his best friend didn’t appear to help him.

“Do you really think he’s your best friend? He has been using you. He used your parents to kill. The kid is the source of tragedy. Your life was over once you met him.” Han Fei only had five minutes. With persuasion and threats, he finally broke through the old man’s defenses. The boy trusted God unconditionally, but the elder hated God deeply. His life was ruined by God. He understood that. When he turned back into an elder, his body started to disintegrate. He had been God’s toy since he was young. At this last moment of his life, he finally regained control of his life.

“I’ve always treated God as my best friend, but I’m just a creation in his eyes. There are 9 more people like me. We’re numbered based on our importance to God. The Big Ghost and Small Ghost are among them. Big Ghost is God’s loyal dog, and he’s in this building; Small Ghost is the enemy’s blood relative. He lives in the world on the other side of the mirror.” The old man’s skin cracked. God’s binding tightened, and his voice became painful.

“Big Ghost’s surname is Chou, and Small Ghost’s surname is Fu; The Big Ghost is named Dearly Beloved, and Small Ghost is named Judas. We all love Big Ghost! Small Ghost is someone who voluntarily sought out Gao Xing! Big Ghost guards the real altar! Small Ghost guards God’s body on the other side of the mirror…” Black blood leaked out of the old man’s mouth. He had followed God for his whole life. When he found his real self, the first thing he did was betray God.

“Kill him…” The old man’s body dissolved into a pile of rotten mud.

“The House of Death is an isolated space. He only dares to tell the truth when he’s here.” Han Fei walked out of the house. He got messages from the system again. Only through endless killing that he could reactivate the House of Death.

“Come on. We need to keep going. No. 2’s other brain fragments are calling me.” With Xu Qin and Big Sin, Han Fei felt very secure. “Shall we take the stairs?”

Han Fei held Xu Qin’s hands and examined her fingers. “Have you entered the stairwell before? Are you injured?”

“I don’t suggest we take the stairwell. The Taboos are purposely kept in the stairwell by God. They attack anything they see. I can’t guarantee that I can protect you while fending them off.” Xu Qin saw through Han Fei’s thoughts. She grabbed Han Fei’s back. “Your Evil Soul said that you want to be eaten by me? And you had that thought on the very first day you saw me?”

“He’s the Evil Soul. He likes to create rumors. His is also crazy, so don’t take him seriously.” Han Fei coughed and let go of her hands. “Then, we should take the elevator.”

“Don’t keep trying to avoid the issue. We are people who have no tomorrow. Why not enjoy the now?” Xu Qin smiled. The curses around her pulled back into her body. Her curses had multiplied. She had feasted a lot in the building.

“I do value now. But I hope to bring you tomorrow.” Han Fei ran away like he was being chased by something.

Ji Zheng and Mr. Mo followed. Xu Qin brought them under so much pressure that they didn’t dare to speak.

“Next time, I won’t let you come to such a dangerous place alone.” Xu Qin touched Big Sin’s head. When she passed the Kind Soul, she smiled and asked, “Tell me. Have he wished to be eaten by me?”

The Kind Soul nodded. “He values you more than he values himself. If he has to choose between the cryptic world and the real world, he will stay here with you.” Compared to the Evil Soul, Kind Soul gave Xu Qin a different feeling. She didn’t say anything else and followed Han Fei into the elevator shaft. Other Lapidarist used acting to fool others, but Han Fei used his acting to hide his real feeling. One could only tell his real feelings when his soul had been separated.

Han Fei’s group came to the 60th floor through the shaft. At this point, they could hear the fighting coming from upstairs. The building also shook harder.

“There are three very scary forces fighting on the top floor. They’re all at Butterfly’s level.” Xu Qin said worriedly. “If I unlock all of my bindings and become the source of curses, I should be able to deal with one of them. If only the theme park’s Ghost manager hasn’t left.”

“Is he that powerful?”

“Yes. The elder hides very well. He should be the last ‘present’ the old manager left for you.” Xu Qin could sense the secret in Ghost, but she didn’t expose him.

“You remember Fu Sheng?!” Han Fei was shocked.

“Is his name Fu Sheng?” Xu Qin shook his head. “I’m slowly forgetting. This is something even the black flame can’t stop. Perhaps only Unmentionables can remember them.”

“It’s okay. I remember Fu Sheng. I’ll remind everyone about him.” Han Fei walked in front. “First, we need to save Teacher, and then we’ll think about the others.”

Xu Qin lowered her voice, “Ghost said that everyone who owns the black box would eventually be forgotten. That is their fate. That is how the secret of the black box can be retained.”

Xu Qin wasn’t worried about Fu Sheng, and Fu Sheng was not the reason why she wanted to become an Unmentionable.
