My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 939: Fu Sheng's Heir

Han Fei’s focus was on the four paintings. He only turned around when Huang Yin gasped. All the windows in the room were closed but the quilt fluttered. Something that looked like black paint dripped from the bedframe. Han Fei and Huang Yin came closer. He pulled back the quilt. Underneath the bedframe was broken black cocoons. “I think I’ve seen this in Butterfly’s nightmare before.” Huang Yin took a step back. He pointed at the black cocoon pieces. “Butterfly morphed into my mother in the nightmare. Whenever he transformed, similar pieces would fall off his body. However, his cocoon wasn’t pure black but had colorful patterns.”

“Dream, black cocoon and Butterfly.” Han Fei remembered the giant shell underneath Ziggurat. That was the shell left behind by Dream. After the bloody mirror was shattered by Han Fei, the black cocoons under the bed lost their protection and they wanted to escape. Han Fei didn’t dare to touch them. He found a lighter from the police and tried to light one up. The fire appeared underneath the bed. The black cocoons retreated like they were alive.

“Be careful.” Huang Yin saw that Han Fei was trying to crawl under the bed. He quickly grabbed Han Fei by his arm. “This is not a game.”

“I want to see what kind of monster is under the bed.” Han Fei wanted to turn the bed over but he found out he was too weak to do that. To get a closer look, he had to get on the ground. There were a lot of cocoon pieces. Some of them had stuck together. They bound to Gao Xing’s bed and tied the child’s dream there. When the light appeared, the glued-together cocoon pieces seemed to form a tunnel.

“Is this an illusion?” Han Fei turned to Huang Yin. The other man was shocked too. The sticky substance formed by the black cocoon didn’t look like it could be made by humans.

“Shall we go in to take a look?” Han Fei was very brave. After all, he had sacrificed many Pure Hatreds already.

“Is that a good idea?” Huang Yin paled. Whenever he was with Han Fei, it was like he was in a horror movie.

“Both of you calm down. We’ll send in the robot dogs first.” The officers carried the devices from the car. They controlled a small robot dog to get close to the hole formed by the black cocoons. Before the adjustment was done, the dog collapsed. The officers hadn’t met this situation before. It felt like there was another world underneath the bed.

“Give me the recording device. I’ll go to take a look.” Han Fei fixed the camera on his chest. He tied a rope around his waist. He held the torch and crawled under the bed. The closer he got to the hole, the chillier he felt. At the same time, there was another voice in his brain urging him to get closer to the hole. Han Fei looked into the hole. A stench came out. It was too dark for him to see anything.

“How is this so deep? Where does it lead?” The hole’s entrance was small but it was just large enough for a child.

Han Fei crawled downwards. Children’s broken faces appeared on the sides of the tunnel. They were once occupants inside the cocoons. Han Fei finally reached the end of the tunnel. He found a donation agreement form among the shattered cocoon pieces. The yellowed page had been torn and pasted together many things. This paper was from many years ago. The handwriting was blurred. The general content was that Gao Xing’s parents had agreed to donate their child’s eyes to Gao Cheng.

“Is this the source of the nightmare?”

Once he grabbed the paper, the tunnel began to collapse. If not for the police’s help, Han Fei would be buried alive.

“Have you discovered something?” Everyone worked together to drag Han Fei out. They also looked at him with respect.

“I found this and captured the faces of some children.” Han Fei handed the camera and the donation paper to the police. When the police checked the camera, they found nothing.

“It’s alright. I have memorized their faces. I can draw them out for you.” Han Fei cleared away the stain on the donation paper. He had to wonder if there were more children like Gao Xing.

Dream purposely targeted children with unstable mentalities. It dragged them into the nightmare to cultivate them into monsters.

Han Fei drew out all the faces he saw deep inside the cocoon. The police compared Han Fei’s drawings to the database. They realized that most of the children had gone missing when they were young, while a small portion of them had become the elites in Xin Lu. Two of them shocked Han Fei. One of them was an expert in biomedicine. The man’s frame resembled the guinea pig!

The other was someone familiar to Han Fei. She was the singer, Ye Xuan. She might be a core member, Death.

“They were both dragged into the nightmare by the cocoon before?” The three organizations had many killers who were cultivated by Dream. The sins at Xin Lu looked like they were made by Gao Xing and Butterfly, but the mastermind was Dream. “Every child should have something that was considered a source of nightmare from their childhood.” Han Fei put the donation paper inside the evidence bag. Even though the mission didn’t arrest anyone, they found much info on the core members of the criminal organizations. If they followed this trail, they’d eventually find the murderers hiding in the dark.

“Gao Xing is not home. He should have started the plan. It’s Thursday tomorrow. Based on his plan, all the tragedy will occur tomorrow.” Han Fei didn’t dare to waste time. The police continued their search at Gao Xing’s home. Han Fei and Huang Yin led the AI butler toward Xin Lu theme park. Han Fei still needed to see something to enter Immortal Skyscraper to stop Gao Xing.

He called Du Jing in the car. She was Fu Sheng’s good friend when he was still alive. She was also Immortal Pharma’s biggest shareholder during the company’s founding moments. Therefore, she had influence within the company. Many things couldn’t be explained on the phone so they promised to meet at the theme park. With the worker leading the way, Han Fei entered Du Jing’s office. Compared to a few days ago, Du Jing appeared even younger.

“It’s about the life and death juncture for this city.” Han Fei had seen Du Jing in Fu Sheng’s plastic surgery hospital altar before. He was familiar with Du Jing’s past. “There’s someone inside Immortal Pharma who wants to destroy Xin Lu by cooperating with Unmentionable.”

Han Fei shared the worst future he saw. When he mentioned Fu Yun’s name, Du Jing’s expression shifted.

“Do you know Fu Yun?”

Du Jing nodded. “Fu Yun is Fu Tian’s adopted child. He is the cleverest, cruelest and scariest one. Back then, Immortal Pharma was in an unstable state and needed to protect something within the company. Therefore, Fu Tian prepared two paths for his descendants. If the situation stabilized and the city was threatened by unknown objects again, then his eldest and second sons would cooperate to manage the company. They are both responsible people. However, if the situation worsened, the company would be led by Fu Yun. This way, the company’s legacy would continue because Fu Yun would do everything in his power to make sure that was the case.”

“In other words, since the company had stabilized, Immortal Pharma was inherited by Fu Tian’s eldest and second sons. That was why Fu Yun wanted to betray the company and destroy everything?” Han Fei could hazard a guess.

“Fu Yun is capable of anything. He is capable of turning against Immortal Pharma.” Du Jing sighed. “They are all kids I saw growing before my eyes, but they took completely different paths.”

Han Fei got much info on Fu Yun from Du Jing, but that was not why he was there.

“Through some special methods, I saw what would happen tomorrow. Many people would die, including me. My head would be chopped off to become the key. Therefore, I need your help. I need to enter Immortal Skyscraper tomorrow. I need to stop something myself.” Han Fei described the worst future for Du Jing.

Du Jing’s reaction was weird. She didn’t reject or agree to Han Fei’s request. Instead, she said something weird. “Your head is the key to activating the tragedy. At the same time, you are trying your best to save the city. It’s conflicting but real. This reminds me of something.” Du Jing looked outside the window. “My most important friend once gave me a voice band. After so many years, I received two conflicting messages. One was from Fu Tian. It told me to kill you at all costs; The other came from an unknown stranger, telling me to help you at all cause. I didn’t understand it in the past, but I get it now.”

“What do you mean?” Han Fei was confused.

Du Jing smiled but didn’t answer. She placed an id card on the table. “IF you can answer my question, I’ll agree to all of your questions.”

“Ask me.” Han Fei said.

“Who is the founder of Immortal Pharma? Does Fu Tian have a missing family member? Tell me that person’s name.” Du Jing guessed a possibility through many clues, but she needed confirmation.

“Immortal Pharma’s founder is Fu Sheng. He is Fu Tian’s elder brother from a different mother. I am his only heir and the only person in the world who remembers him.” Han Fei told the truth.

“Fu Sheng…” Du Jing went into deep thought. After a long time, she handed the card to Han Fei. “How did you two meet?”

“I am one of the participants of Immortal Pharma’s first batch of experiments. At first, the persona experiment was handled by Fu Sheng. After his disappearance, it was taken over by Fu Tian. That was also when the tragedy started.” Han Fei believed Du Jing had asked him something similar in the past, but clearly, she had forgotten about it.

“Has he been prepared since then?” Du Jing seemed to have understood something. She picked up her phone to call someone. “From today onward, you’ll listen to Han Fei’s orders and manage his relationship with Immortal Pharma.” The man was a core member of Immortal Pharma. Even though he was confused, he believed in Du Jing.

“Thursday is the time of big changes. Tomorrow I’ll bring you to Immortal Skyscraper. You’ll represent me. No one will dare to stop you.” Du Jing smiled. “Good luck.”
