My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 280

Chapter 280: 280

“I am a staff member approved by Jin Sheng. As long as he still has a bit of rationality, he wouldn’t harm me.” Han Fei didn’t feel as confident as he claimed but before his student, he mustn’t show weakness. Following Zhang Guanxing, Han Fe came to the infirmary. This was not the first time he visited this place but whenever he intended to push the door, he’d get nervous. Zhang Guanxing astutely retreated to the side, he was worried about being a burden for Han Fei. Holding the infirmary door, Han Fei felt like he was holding a piece of ice. When he looked closer, he could see small words written on the door handle. He slowly eased the door open and an indescribable chill gushed out from inside the room as if it was trying to freeze the whole school. Han Fei’s Life Point dropped immediately. The ghost tattoo was activated and howls of beast could be heard from it. Forcing his eyes open, the scene inside the infirmary shocked Han Fei.

The ceiling, floor, walls, every inch of the room was filled with black and red letters. The words were imbued with curses like living worms. Standing in the middle of the words, at the spot where the curse was strongest, was a young man. His body was frail and his skin pale. His skin was stuffed with cursed words, his body was practically made from curses.

“Jin Sheng?” The young man before him didn’t look like Jin Sheng in Han Fei’s mind. Jin Sheng before was as thin as thick, he was small even among his peers. But now Jin Sheng had reconstructed his body from curses. Every inch of his flesh was a mixture of blood and curse. Jin Sheng was now a living ghost story, a ghost story which was a culmination of all the ghost stories the boy had told. The chains that shackled his body clanged as Jin Sheng turned around. His character-filled eyes turned on Han Fei. Han Fei froze, feeling Jin Sheng’s eyes on him. If Jin Sheng was in the past an overly-sensitive kid, now he was something else completely.

The previous manager tried to use his way to cure Jin Sheng but Jin Sheng was still trapped in his own world. He didn’t move one step away from it because he was sunk too deep into it. The dark memories were already a part of him, he couldn’t forget or leave them behind. However, Han Fei’s method was completely different from the previous manager. He was forced into Jin Sheng’s nightmare. In the same situation, Han Fei led Jin Sheng’s blood covered head out of the school. The cage of despair that Jin Sheng thought he could never escape was broken just like that. Han Fei’s appearance had given Jin Sheng some hope. There was no need to remove the past because they were all part of him. After realizing he got nothing from forcing himself to forget about his past, Jin Sheng now chose to voluntarily accept them. He allowed the ghost stories that he told to enter his body. If no one in this world would believe me, then I would become my own world. Jin Sheng had been showing himself in the image of a young boy before so that his body could hide inside the cupboard. But now he reappeared in the image of a young man. His body stood straighter and his eyes carried a miniscule trace of humanity.

“Have the thing that entrapped you been shattered after killing Ma Manjiang?” Han Fei was truly happy for Jin Sheng. Jin Sheng’s presence was so strong that perhaps only when the 8 victims of the human jigsaw case joined together that they could rival him. Jin Sheng didn’t answer Han Fei. His lips just opened when heavily cursed words tumbled out. Each of his words carried impossibly scary energy. Han Fei suspected that every ghost story Jin Sheng told now would come true. His manager talent probably was to turn all the fake ghost stories true. Jin Sheng stared at Han Fei quietly because he literally couldn’t communicate. His expression didn’t change either. It was hard to tell whether the young man had lost his mind or he was trying to control the madness within him.

If someone encountered Jin Sheng in this state, they would run immediately but not Han Fei. Han Fei’s life was limited anyway so he was not afraid of anything. “Ma Manjiang is dead but he was only a shell, the real thing that turned you into this is the Butterfly and it is still very much alive.” The best method of persuasion was through telling the truth. Han Fei and Jin Sheng had the same goal. “I’m planning to head towards Ziggurat because Butterfly is there. Would you help me?”

Jin Sheng stared at Han Fei for a long time before his lips curled. As he tightened his fists, an intense chill gathered inside the room. The letters inside the room turned into the same statement—The Butterfly will die, die, die, die!

The proclamation came with an intense curse. Jin Sheng had used action to answer Han Fei. The statements were bleeding. Even through the distance, Han Fei could feel the hatred in them.

“Butterfly will notice me the moment I go near Ziggurat but I can use my own way to help you.” A row of blood messages appeared before Han Fei, they were strung together with thread. “Butterfly have many enemies, more than just you and me. There are more than 1 person watching you from the dark. When the Butterfly’s wings cracked, a bloody night would descend at Ziggurat.”

Jin Sheng’s words carried a unique presence with them. Even just reading them, one could feel the emotions within. “There are others out to destroy Butterfly?” Han Fei’s eyes narrowed, this was very good news. “I’ll start my journey tonight and start to move towards Ziggurat. I should be able to enter the locale in the next 6 days.” After knowing Han Fei would start his attempt tonight, Jin Sheng’s mouth opened again. Seeing the blood red guard uniform Han Fei wore, he said the following slowly. “Before you go, I need to tell you a real story.” As Jin Sheng spoke, the cursed words inside the room started to bounce and bleed. “No one knows the reason but one day, a guard at Ziggurat went missing. No one knew the name of the new guard who replaced the old guard, no one had seen him before. The new guard was good to everyone, he mixed well with the tenants and everything soon returned to normal. However strange things started to happen at the building, many tenants were not seen after they entered their room at midnight. Fear spread like vines, everyone placed their hope on the new security guard. However, the investigation came up with nothing. Less and less tenants remained. The surviving tenants wished to escape the neighbourhood with the new guard.

“That was a scary night. The responsible guard was the first to disappear, then the adults, finally the children. When the last tenant reached the exit, suddenly he encountered the missing guard. The responsible guard smiled like usual and slowly approached with the bladeless blade. When the blade pierced through the Butterfly pattern, the tenant saw the spirits hiding behind the guard. He was a well-hidden demon, he was an unmitigated madman, he massacred the whole neighbourhood.” The stories Jin Sheng told would slowly come through. Han Fei still had no idea how it would affect his imminent adventure. After Jin Sheng finished the store, all the letters that featured in the story crawled inside Han Fei’s body. The ghost story hid inside Han Fei’s body, it was both a curse and a blessing.

After telling the story, Jin Sheng edged towards madness again. The words inside the infirmary started to go out of control. Chill froze the room and Han Fei was pushed out from the infirmary by Jin Sheng.
