My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 197

Chapter 197: 197

Blood suffused the menu, it slowly opened to the sides like a pair of gates. Huang Yin who stood facing away from Han Fei had no idea what happened before he was sent into the Gates of Hell. Usage of Resurrection exhausted Han Fei greatly, it pretty much drained him. After sending Huang Yin back, Han Fei prepared to leave the game as well. He knew there were still other tales of horror left unfinished at Yi Ming Private Academy, the completion rate of the Grade F Hidden Mission was only 4/7 but the most immediate thing Han Fei needed to do was to contact Huang Yin and communicate with him.

Han Fei exited the bathroom and realized Ol’ Lee was still there. The security guard was worried about Huang Yin. “Your friend looks like he is going through a lot. You need to show him some care.”

“I will.” Han Fei waved goodbye to Ol’ Lee. “In fact, I’ll go visit him now. See you tomorrow.” Walking towards the corner of the staircase, Han Fei opened the menu. When he chose to leave the game, he believed he heard Ol’ Lee say, “Only those who have cried in the silence of the night will have the courage to face the difficulty in the day. If there’s a chance, I should befriend that young man. Perhaps I can help him somehow.”

Blood froze and Han Fei’s consciousness was pulled from the cryptic world. He removed the gaming helmet and felt sore all over his body. He was extremely tired. He had died more than 10 times in the manager mission and every death was intensely real. The death memories collected in Han Fei’s mind. A normal person would have gone insane already, their mental institution would have collapsed.

Han Fei shrugged on a jacket and grimaced as pain blossomed all over his body. He placed the stun gun inside his pocket and left his rental. He was extremely fatigued and tired but Han Fei still decided to keep up his promise of meeting Huang Yin. This was his responsibility to his friend. As he exited his neighbourhood, he noticed some shadows moving inside a stationary van. Han Fei assumed it was the paparazzi. Han Fei ignored them and hurried towards the intelligent city where Huang Yin lived.

…

Swoosh! Pushing open the door of the gaming hub, Huang Yin with a paper white face tumbled out. His legs appeared to turn into noodles and he could barely stand up straight. His mind could not function. The moment he closed his eyes, his brain would fill with stuff of nightmare. The scenes were carved inside his head, he couldn’t shake them loose no matter how hard he tried. Unable to summon any more strength, Huang Yin collapsed onto the couch. His body trembled. If there was no accident, that would be the last time he logged into Perfect Life.

Raising his finger, Huang Yin tapped lightly on the coffee table. The robot butler bustled over with Huang Yin’s favorite drink. She placed it beside Huang Yin and then sat down on the couch and massaged Huang Yin’s muscles to help him relax. Everything was programmed and set. The AI butler was Deep Space Tech’s latest program. It could read human emotions and understand the change to human psychology. Using them, it could adapt itself perfectly to their owner’s requirement and needs.

The product had more than 10 preset personalities. When upgraded, it also came with a language system, making it even more authentic in emotional expression and emotional communication. As the AI massaged his back, Huang Yin slowly calmed down. He laid his head on the butler’s soft calves and sipped the drink. After a long rest, Huang Yin removed his clothes that were soaked in cold sweat and headed towards the bathroom.

The bathtub was already filled with hot water. Huang Yin eased himself into it. The butler guarded patiently beside him. Before Huang Yin even voiced his demands, she would play the right music and send him the items he needed.

As he soaked in the warm water, Huang Yin could feel the negative energy wash away and they were replaced by a sense of drowsiness. It was not until this moment that Huang Yin finally sighed in relief. He activated the voice-controlled screen inside the bathroom and pulled up Han Fei’s contact information. He hesitated for a long time but in the end, failed to get the courage to call Han Fei.

Instead he went online to search for information. Suddenly, he received a private message on his account. Someone with the ID called, The Witness sent him a link and it was entitled—They had the same experience as you did.

After ensuring the link was safe and contained no virus, Huang Yin opened it. It led to a video. The video quality was blurry and dark. The location of the shot was somewhere between the intelligent city and the old city. In the video, there was a man who was holding a camera phone aimed at his own front door. He was talking to someone behind the camera. “This is the second time it has appeared, I have no idea how it found out where I live.”

The other person did not answer. The man stared nervously at the door and continued anxiously, “3 am, that was the time it appeared last time. But that time it merely roamed around the corridor, as if looking for my home.”

Bang! Something knocked into the door, it startled the man in the video and Huang Yin outside the video. With a paling face, the man in the video held the phone with shaking hands. He staggered away from the front door. “It seems to have found out where I live.”

The sound only came once from outside the door. It had been quiet ever since. The man turned to the surveillance monitor that was beside the door. There was no one outside his room, only a round, red rubber ball.

“A rubber ball?”

The red rubber ball bounced against the door and then rolled backwards. From the corner of the video, a pair of hands reached out to pick up the ball. “This is different from what I saw yesterday! There is more than one ghost?!”

The man with the phone stood frozen beside the monitor. His eyes were fixed to the screen but nothing else happened. Eventually he let his guard down and turned his eyes away. “Have they left?” Just as the man was about to sigh in relief, a series of knocking came from the door. His heart skipped a beat. The man clamped his hand over his mouth and turned back to the monitor.

His neighbour was slamming repeatedly and urgently against his door. The man did not dare to breathe, much less utter a response.

The neighbour knocked for a long time. Seeing that there was no one home, he eventually gave up and left. But seconds later, the man’s phone started to vibrate. He answered the call, it was his neighbour. “Ye, yes?”

“Quick, leave your home now! You are inside the house with ghosts! I just saw with my own eyes someone in red leading a child to enter your home!” The neighbour exclaimed anxiously. The panic seeped into the man’s marrow and he looked around his home with great unease.

Huang Yin who was curled inside the bathtub stopped the video. He felt strangely uncomfortable like he was being watched. When his eyes turned to the corner of the room, he saw that it was 3.40 am.
