My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 192

Chapter 192: 192

Huang Yin’s mind was buzzing blank. He did not dare to even turn around. Every single cell in his body was giving him a singular command—Run! Running at the top of his speed, a cloud of monsters surged towards Huang Yin. Frantic footsteps, spine-tingling shrieks and angry roars, the whole school of ghosts was trailing behind him!

Due to Ma Manjiang’s heavy injury, the grey fog had faded by a lot. Huang Yin was like the first ray to shoot through the dark clouds. He hugged Jin Sheng’s head and came closer and closer to the front gate. Yi Ming Private Academy’s students and teachers chased behind the man but they were lagging behind. Ma Manjiang shoved the students aside brutally out of anger and desperation.

Seeing Huang Yin was about to get Jin Sheng’s head out from the school and escape from this cage, Ma Manjiang emitted an earth-splitting growl. His body melted into black blood. All the negative emotions and despair wrapped around a blue butterfly that flew out from his heart!

The butterfly flapped its broken wings and flew above the crowd. It rapidly closed the distance between it and Huang Yin. Noticing this, Han Fei knew that they had the blue butterfly cornered. The butterfly was cunning, cruel, merciless and crazy. With it having the full advantage, it did not expect Han Fei to tip one over it. From its perspective, Han Fei was doing an impossible mission, but somehow Han Fei had carved a bloody solution out of it.

The tattered wings thrashed, the malice cutting through the fog, forming strange patterns in the air. The butterfly swooped towards Huang Yin!

When Huang Yin was 1 metre away from the front gate, the butterfly caught up to its target. A waterfall of malice poured down around Huang Yin. The moment the blue butterfly landed the man’s head, Huang Yin also managed to take the first step out from the front gate. The curse of the inescapable cage was shattered. Jin Sheng had successfully escaped from the school that was made from his despairing memories!

The moment Jin Sheng’s head left the school compound, the young man’s previously closed eyes fluttered open. The scabs formed by dried malice and despair dissolved. The eyes frozen in pain finally saw the world again. The scenario in Jin Sheng’s memory world started to shift. Black curse and red blood gushed out from Jin Sheng’s decapitated neck. These curses and blood congealed to form his new body.

The blue butterfly knew when it had been beaten. When the manager woke up, all the power would go towards him. Remaining inside this world would only mean a tortured death. It flapped its wings again, causing the pattern on its blue wings to change once more. The pattern started to take on the shape of Huang Yin’s face, the blue butterfly was imprinting Huang Yin into its memory. This time it had lost because of this man. In other words, Huang Yin was the first man to have ever defeated the butterfly.

When Jin Sheng reached out towards the blue butterfly, the wings exploded and the body dissolved in blue dust and disappeared into nothingness.

“I’m surprised that someone can walk out from my despair.” Jin Sheng turned to glance at Huang Yin and then strode back towards the field. The students and staff members molded from his memory faded away like the wind. In the end, only Huang Yin, Han Fei and Jin Sheng were left on the empty field.

“See, as long as we don’t give up, there is always hope.” Han Fei laid on the ground. His left arm was severed, both his legs were snapped, he had bone fractures all over his body and he suffered internal bleeding from the fall. Whenever he spoke, blood spurted out from his lips.

“Why did you help me?” Jin Sheng looked just like the picture of himself in real life but his body was made from curses and blood. He was a very special ghost.

“Why did Ol’ Lee, your class teacher and the rest choose to help you?” With trembling fingers, Han Fei slowly raised his moveable right hand, “Now can you help me?”

Jin Sheng studied Han Fei for a long time before he grabbed Han Fei’s hand. Finally, among the abyss of despair, Han Fei had found the real Jin Sheng.

The moment their hands touched, the school grounds fell away. Han Fei’s lost memories returned like waves.

“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve reached level 9, obtained reward, 1 free attribute point!”

The pain brought by the regained memories dulled. Han Fei slowly crawled up from the ground. He stared at Huang Yin who was gobsmacked and Jin Sheng who was still curled inside the infirmary cupboard. He turned to look out the corridor. There was Ma Manjiang unravelling in a pool of black blood. After many dangers, he finally completed the Manager Mission and exited Jin Sheng’s memory world.

“Jin Sheng, was it you who killed Ma Manjiang?” Han Fei moved his feet, his soles were already stained with Ma Manjiang’s blood.

“No, it was that blue butterfly who did this. The butterfly was heavily injured in my memory world, it knew that I had awakened. To regain its power to escape from this school, it drained Ma Manjiang of his resentment and life force.” Jin Sheng looked frail. His body was covered in symbols and words. He radiated a presence that only a cursed object would.

“What exactly happened at Yi Ming Private Academy? Why would Ma Manjiang appear here?” Han Fei had so many questions.

Instead of answering Han Fei, Jin Sheng stared at him for a long time before asking, “What is your relationship to Fu Sheng?”

“Fu Sheng?” Han Fei was surprised to hear this name. He chose to go with the truth. “We lived in the same neighbourhood. He was the previous manager but he went missing. One of the big reasons I came here is to find him.”

“He has gone missing?” Jin Sheng slowly explained, “He once promised me to help me silence the despair and pain. I believed him. He sealed up my memory and power, he did many things to my soul but in the end, I still could not escape from the shackles of my memory. Due to his experimentations, I went berserk.”

“And then what happened?”

“He forced me into this cupboard and that was the last time I saw him.” Jin Sheng’s tone was so even that one would think he was a robot. No shine of humanity could be discerned from the young man.
