My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 1000: The End

Night enveloped the night. The doors at Immortal Pharma closed after Han Fei entered it. Only a limited number of people could enter through special methods.

Han Fei trusted Xin Lu Police a lot, but even Li Xue was told to wait outside the lab door. Li Xue wanted to be there, but her superior told her that handing Han Fei over was part of the 'deal'.

"We've done everything we could. We leave the rest to fate."

The black box on the lowest floor of Immortal Skyscraper was opened. The power of the Unmentionables lightly wrapped around Han Fei's body. Several ghosts worked together to carry him through the blood bridge.

"After the memory fragments reunited, perhaps the broken flower still has the chance to bloom." Yin energy triggered every inch of Han Fei's skin. Despair flooded him. In the end, his body was sent to the center of the blood city and placed under the light. After everything was done, No. 2 started to take over the supercomputer. He wanted to control the surface world. Other than that, he left behind many parts of himself in the cryptic world and the real world. He monitored Xin Lu's admins in real life; he stabilized the tunnel in the cryptic world and prevented the other Unmentionables from getting close.

It felt like No. 2 was purposely wasting his brain power so that he could look at fate.

The neighbors moved to the center of the blood city. For them, Han Fei was more important than the light. Their building manager did the thing he promised them, but if there were a chance, they would rather Han Fei live in the old building, making gallows jokes with them.

"When will he come back?" Weep held Ying Yue's hand. They always waited at the location where Han Fei logged off so that he could see them when he came back on.

"I don't know." Wei Youfu sat on the ground and looked at the ray of light numbly. No one knew the answer. It could be a week, or it could be never.

The timid Little Eight walked out from Wei Youfu. She hugged the flower pot with the seed from the surface world and walked towards the light. Since Xu Qin didn't attack her, Little Eight placed her most precious treasure beside Han Fei.

"The flowers will bloom..."

Mad Laughter and Dream fell into the deep sea. Han Fei's consciousness was gone, but their sacrifice was rewarded. The original world changed, and the black box owners were rewarded.

...

Three months later, all the trapped players were rescued. The cryptic world was no longer a secret, and Han Fei's legacy was spread. To everyone's surprise, the families of the nightmare owners didn't want to leave the game. They didn't want to be separated.

Perfect Life, which was about to close, had a new update. With the aid of Unmentionables, all the players could enter the blood-red city and explore the cryptic world. The players would not die if they died in the cryptic world, but their accounts would be deleted. It was like an adventure game. To prevent the incident from happening again, players could force a disconnect. They would be mentally stunned, but they could exit the game.

Perfect Life became more than a simple game. Fu Sheng's initial goal became a reality. Humans used this mental world to heal the cryptic world.

The arrival of the players brought life to the cryptic world. The blood city between the two worlds became more lively than Xin Lu. Many players rushed over and started to prepare for their afterlives. The old era was abandoned. Many new technologies were introduced, and more unique persona users awakened. Everything changed.

The difference between the human brain and the computer brain became blurrier. Various emotions became the balm to heal despair. The memory could be downloaded and saved. The mental world and the real world overlapped. No one could tell if this was a good thing or a bad thing. Everything walked forward. They were like ancient people chasing after the sun.

As the blood city expanded, Han Fei's story spread too. Many players wanted to get to the center.

During this period, the second batch of players came to visit Han Fei. Everyone knew how amazing Han Fei was. They were all victims of the experiments. Their wish was fulfilled by Han Fei. Qiang Wei was a proud person, but Han Fei became his goal. Compared to the other participants, Seaglasss Cat and Han Fei had the closest relationship. The kitten curled beside the light and sang their songs.

A few months later, the players went away, but people would come to visit Han Fei occasionally. Every few days, Bai Xian would grab Huang Yin to come to find Han Fei. They kept updating Han Fei with the news. Bai Xian grumbled that he had missed another award. Huang Yin became quiet after Han Fei left. His hair turned white. He understood many things. Han Fei knew how dangerous the situation was. He was ready to die, and Huang Yin was his selected heir. It was why he did everything he could to support Huang Yin before he died. The torch fell, but the fire rose. Huang Yin didn't disappoint Han Fei. He became the owner of the dream demons. He kept 'reviving' the players and helped the healing starlight shine into the cryptic world.

Time ticked by. Giant buildings rose in the sky. The city contained the world's best players and technology. It was futuristic and haunted.

No. 2, who took over as the new computer, used his power to issue missions daily. He mobilized every player to turn the city into a battle machine.

Forces like managers, testers, black box hunters, and new humans were constructed. Perhaps it was a coincidence, an organization similar to Tragedy Investigation Center called the cryptic world investigation center was built. As the blood city expanded, the spot where the first ray appeared became quiet. The neighbors went hunting. Only Xu Qin and Little Eight remained to guard the place.

Xu Qin couldn't control herself. No. 2 had to work together with Fu Yi to seal Xu Qin. Her beautiful face was covered by curses. She would only calm down when she was beside the dancing memory petals. Little Eight looked after Xu Qin. Once she went crazy, Little Eight would inform the others. When everything was fine, she would stay beside the flower and look at the pot with anticipation. Many players and ghosts thought she was dumb. Why would the surface world seed bloom in the cryptic world?

However, Little Eight would check it daily because that person said that her flower would bloom.

On a normal morning, Little Eight suddenly heard a strange voice. She thought her flower pot cracked, so she hurried to look. But she realized it was not the case. She followed the voice and found a broken altar near the edge of the abandoned theme park tunnel. This was Fu Sheng's theme park tunnel. It was then inherited by Mad Laughter. During the fight with Dream, he sacrificed all of his altars. Little Eight sighed and wanted to bury the altar back down. But as she tried to close the door, she noticed the figurine inside. Then, it turned into ash. Little Eight was flustered because she thought she had done something wrong. She tried to pool the ash together, but then, the whole altar collapsed.

The presence of an Unmentionable floated to the light. Fu Sheng's power was used. Little Eight apologized to the altar. As she turned around, she saw something new in her pot. She hurried to the light. The seed in the pot germinated and grew rapidly.

The memory fragment pieced together. All the memory joined to form a beautiful flower. The petals floated around the sleeping body. The petal on the flower was replaced by blood and landed on the heart. Little Eight's attention was on the flower. She widened her eyes. She didn't think the flower would really bloom!

"The flower is blooming..."

"Yes. It is."

Little Eight heard the voice and lifted her head with disbelief. She saw a familiar face. At the same time, No. 2 and Fu Yi's seal was removed by brute force. A cursed figure ran into the light. She melted in the light, but she refused to let go. She hugged Han Fei.

Han Fei didn't feel fear. He slowly raised his arms to hug Xu Qin back. The curse spread and tore open the wounds. Xu Qin seemed to realize something. She wanted to move back, but Han Fei tightened his arms around her.

"For me, the worst curse in the world is leaving you." Han Fei allowed all the curses to enter his body as he leaned in for a kiss. After losing everything, he knew what was the most important.

Little Eight stood there. The two adults didn't seem to notice her. The curse locked around his throat, but Han Fei still didn't want to let go. The source of curses feared by everyone was the most beautiful woman in the world for him. The healing power helped Xu Qin recover her rationality. She seemed to have cried many times.

"Everyone is waiting for you and..." Xu Qin slowly released her hands. She was reminded of what No. 2 said. "There's someone you need to find."

"I know." Han Fei looked at the destroyed theme park. He tried to summon the system, but it didn't respond. The cryptic world's supercomputer seemed to have come from the black box. The ground shook. Big Sin appeared to have sensed its owner's presence. It crashed half of the city as it ran to Han Fei. Han Fei rubbed Big Sin's head and smiled helplessly as he saw the bloody holes in his hands.

Han Fei toured the blood city in three days. He visited his friends and neighbors, but he found no trace of Mad Laughter.

On the fourth day, No. 2 contacted Han Fei. They met at the skyscraper.

"Is there anything else?" Han Fei turned to No. 2. Other than Han Fei, he was the person who cared about Mad Laughter the most.

"Stop looking for No. 0." No. 2 shrugged. "He chose to sacrifice himself to pick you. Everything is over. Do you get it?"

Han Fei didn't answer, but he knew what No. 2 wanted to express.

"The cryptic world was wide. We've only explored just one-tenth of it. Plus, there are other blood cities in the cryptic world. This place is not safe." No. 2 was rational like a machine, but his tone carried a dim pain. "Healing the cryptic world is a hard thing. We'll run into obstacles. Death is unavoidable."

"Yes."

"I don't know how the other blood cities came into being, but this city combined your and No. 0's memories. Both of you are the owners here." No. 2 didn't continue. He pointed at the light that shone from the surface world. "You brought the light to them. They are still waiting for you. Therefore, don't stay in one spot for too long."

No. 2 disappeared. Han Fei walked aimlessly in the blood city. The black rain zone finally rained again. Han Fei walked in the rain. He felt like something was amiss. Han Fei sat on the step. He tried to open the menu, but it still wouldn't work. Then, he tried to use his talent and realized some were still useful.

Han Fei opened his fingers and said, "Spirit-farer." His heart pumped. A ghost door opened before Han Fei. He looked at the calm blood sea and chanted his name. He thought about Mad Laughter. The sea didn't react. Han Fei looked at the sea until he heard a strange laughter. It was not filled with pain or madness. It was like the laugh of two old friends meeting on the street.

His reflection was in the sea. A light smile appeared on his face. The reflection looked just like Han Fei. He held a small black box in his hands. The red sea's surface was like a mirror between the two worlds.

"When will you come back?"

"It'll take too long, so probably never."

Han Fei seemed to be talking to himself.

"Why did you make that choice? You are the better candidate."

"If one day, everything I care about is gone, will someone stay to accompany and console me?" The reflection held the black box. "There's no one who cares about me in the world, but you're different."

"Can you promise me one thing? Don't sink into the sea. I'll go fetch you." Han Fei said seriously.

"Okay. But you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it?"

"Stop acting and be yourself."

"What else can I be?"

"At least stop being the world's savior."

"What kind of main character hasn't even reached level 40 after being so long in the game?"

"Disclaimer. I haven't taken any of your EXP."

The reflection waved like he was saying goodbye or denying it.

The black box slowly floated out. Han Fei reached out his hand at the sea. His reflection did the same thing. Their hands moved through the sea, but Han Fei only managed to grab the black box. When he took the box out, the reflection disappeared. The ghost door closed. Han Fei saw the ripples in the sea. The water reflected the neons and bloodred streetlights and himself.

"I still don't know what's inside the box. Is it despair or hope?" The rain poured. Han Fei didn't move, but an umbrella opened beside him.

"It should be hope, right?" Xu Qin sat down beside Han Fei. The other neighbors came out of the corner. "Because of it, we met you. So it should represent hope." Ghosts squeezed on the street. Han Fei's reflection was no longer alone in the water puddle.

"That's true." Han Fei looked at the many faces. "Only the people in the deepest despair will inherit the black box, so this world is still gentle because it will compensate with hope."

Han Fei took a deep breath and stood up. He smiled. "I'm not so easily defeated. I still want to bring you all to see more of this world." He stood beside his neighbors and faced away from the light from the surface world. They walked fearlessly into the dark.
