My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 204

Chapter 204: 204

The truth always prevails.

Han Fei had the best sleep he had had in a long time at the police station. The chaos from the outside world did not disturb him at all. As the Chinese saying goes, stand straight and never mind if the shadow inclines, however this was a man who did not even have a shadow. There was nothing deplorable about his personal life. At 1 pm, as the images and videos from the law enforcement were revealed, the tide of comments started to turn. By then, the searches for Han Fei had gone on a national scale. This was the first time his name appeared on the national hot search ranking. There were 2 terms attached to Han Fei, selflessness and integrity.

He was already famous, he was no longer an extra, but this actor still rushed to save his friend in the middle of the night. Seeing how tired Han Fei was in real time, many netizens were shocked. Just what sense of justice was powering this man? Was he even still a normal human being?

For most actors, their lives would change after they had a taste of fame, be it their attitude towards work or how they treated others around them but Han Fei was different. He used actual deeds to prove to everyone that he had not changed, if anything, he had only worked harder. This hard work paid off and many netizens became witness of that thanks to police intervention. It was no longer important who was the first to release the false information, the important thing was that someone wanted to ruin Han Fei but instead had worked to stabilize his popularity even more. Indirectly, they had helped Han Fei with great free publicity.

Han Fei did not give himself any sort of fixed persona like most celebrities. Now that everyone knew this young man had not let the fame go to his head, they were even more impressed by him. His actions also proved that his acts of heroism were all real, and based on current evidence, they could expect more of such deeds from this young man. A supposed dig at the young actor in the end somehow managed to earn him several ten thousand more new fans. He moved several steps higher on the actor ranking. The CEO of Wu Wu Entertainment would be kicking themselves now.

After a good night’s sleep, Han Fei returned back to his optimum state. Only then he took out his phone and answered most of his missed calls. The people whom he called had a roller-coaster ride of emotions that night. They too had a hard time sleeping. This was especially true for Director Zhang. He admired Han Fei greatly and he believed the character was truly meant for Han Fei. But he valued the integrity of his work even more. He did not want a bad press to pull the attention away from the focus of his film. Therefore, if Han Fei was sucked into the whirlpool of negative comments, Director Zhang would have to consider abandoning Han Fei and search for a new replacement. Being a part of Director Zhang’s movie would definitely help propel Han Fei’s career. This also went to show Wu Wu Entertainment’s viciousness. They wanted to ruin Han Fei’s career. Based on the speed by which the negative rumor spread, Han Fei believed it was more than one company which was behind this. The companies of the other actors who auditioned for Director Zhang’s movie probably joined in as well.

‘For other people, being a part of Director Zhang’s movie is a very rare opportunity but it is just something I use to relax. The nightly gaming sessions are too tiring and I need something stress-relieving in the day and Director Zhang offered me the perfect channel to vent.’ Being among the bustling police officers, Han Fei found himself completely at ease, this was probably another change initiated by the Iyashikei game. The game did not give him much choice. In the cryptic world, only those with light in their heart could survive. Otherwise they would soon be corrupted.

At 5 pm, Han Fei was politely requested by the police to leave. Huang Yin though still had to stay a while longer. Han Fei was reassured that Huang Yin would receive police protection.

When he reached home, Han Fei finally had the chance to take a breather. The most dangerous character at Yi Ming Private Academy had been dealt with. Han Fei did not plan to leave the school so soon, he wanted to finish the rest of the horror tales at the school first. Then he would put his earlier plan into place, which was to connect Yi Ming Private Academy, Yi Ming Convenience Store and Happiness Neighbourhood.

The bride previously requested the paper doll boss to help her with something at the Ziggurat but the boss was instead entrapped by Han Fei and had his coffin stolen. Therefore, the bride probably failed to get her request fulfilled. So if the bride was still alive, there was a high chance for her to return to the convenience store. After all, from her perspective, it was the convenience store boss who had failed her. It was its misstep at the crucial moment that caused the plan to fall apart.

Before Han Fei was sucked into the hidden map, he was actually waiting for the bride. His original plan was to ‘invite’ the bride to join him inside the Happiness Neigjbourhood and had his neighbours try to ‘convince’ her of his innocence. But now his plan had changed. He planned to pick up where the paper doll had left off. He would continue to cooperate with the bride. If he needed more information about the Ziggurat, he would have to get there first. Everyone who was related to the Butterfly came from the Ziggurat, and a fragment of Fu Sheng’s memory was left there as well. The tester also went insane inside that building several years ago. The place probably contained a gap that might connect the surface and cryptic world. In summary, Han Fei had plenty of reasons to head to the Ziggurats.

But this was something that needed plenty of preparation. After he reached level 10, he needed to head to Livestock street to upgrade his profession first. Han Fei’s plan for his in game self was much clearer than his plan for his real self. In a way, his in game life was more important than his real life.

After filling up his stomach, Han Fei started to collect and arrange the information on Yi Ming Private Academy. Not only did he want to help the dead in the game walk out from their despair, he also wanted to help bring them justice in the real world. Punishment was coming for everyone who had sinned, none was going to escape. This included staff members like Lee Xun and Lee Jingmei as well as students who bullied Jin Sheng. Han Fei would not frame anyone, he only added their name to the list only after he had complete evidence of their crimes.

After taking a full 3 hours, Han Fei had reconstructed the tales of horror at Yi Ming Private Academy. He had 4 files corresponding to 4 victims. His investigating skill and information compiling skill was much better than a new officer, in fact, they could be filed immediately once they were cleared.

‘Only the most unfortunate can yield the black box, but is that really the truth?’ After sending the info to the police, Han Fei started to think back to everything that had happened since he acquired the gaming helmet. To improve his survivability in the game, he had inadvertently helped a lot of ‘people’, and through this process, Han Fei himself also gained something from them. Han Fei could not tell for sure what those things were but he believed that it was because of them that his heart had grown stronger, kinder and warmer. ‘I’ve been receiving healing energy from the hellish game? That can’t be real… can it? If that is really the case, is it the game that is abnormal or I’m the one who is abnormal?’

When Han Fei couldn’t figure something out, he turned to the books to clear his mind. Study would help him focus. After looking through some books related to business management and education, Han Fei picked up the gaming helmet. He connected all the wires. When midnight struck, he put on the gaming helmet.

Blood covered everything and the world appeared to be frozen in blood. Time seemed to lose its meaning then. Han Fei’s consciousness was suspended in a unique state. He knew that his eyes were not open but he could ‘see’ certain things in the darkness.

The red city frozen in blood appeared to be changing as well. Blood red shadows crawled out from the hidden corners and they all seemed to have their eyes on Han Fei.

His eyes opened and Han Fei was still inside Yi Ming Private Academy. Before he could even look around, the robotic voice announced in his mind. “Notification for Player 0000! Due to the sudden skyrocket of numbers in non-locals, Perfect Life will implement a more in-depth open world starting from tonight to accommodate all the new arrivals. Players, please be prepared accordingly! Soon, there will be more souls who require healing, and the path to many new locations will all be opened!”
