My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 676: Lost Heart

676 Lost Heart

“Spread out and leave this neighborhood!” Thousand Nights didn’t look reliable normal, but after F was held back, he immediately took over the commanding post and lowered the damage to the minimum.

“What about F? The future he told me didn’t have something like this!” The player was shocked witless by the three-story-tall ragdoll. Their minds echoed with terrifying giggles. The neighborhood was encased by blood capillaries which made escape very difficult.

“Trust in F! He has led us to lay down our roots in this city. All we can do is trust him, just like we always do!” Thousand Nights sounded very confident. He had to make sure the morale was unshaken.

There was a terrible scream. When a player tried to escape, his body was punctured by the capillaries. As the blood squirted, the capillaries around him were like snakes that smelt blood. They bound around the player. When the capillaries were untangled, only the player’s clothes remained. The scary thing was the ragdoll would make use of the dead’s clothes too. The clothes were dragged along by the capillaries until they became part of the ragdoll’s dress. Life was sometimes very fragile. This scene impacted a lot of players. Their position scattered. All they wished was to run faster than their former teammates.

“F has escaped! He has abandoned us and left!” A woman’s voice came from a taxi. The players were grouped up temporarily. Perhaps they had good talent, but they didn’t have good discipline. They were forced together. After F escaped, everyone panicked. The blood sealed up the neighborhood. Rotten meat fell out of the ragdoll. The dress made from dead victims’ clothes started to change. The capillaries collapsed, and a woman’s face appeared on the dress. Her body was encased within the rotten flesh. Her eyes flashed with hatred. This ragdoll hated humans greatly. She wanted to kill every human in the city.

“Is that woman the ragdoll’s real identity?” Han Fei watched as the ragdoll closed up the neighborhood and slaughtered the players.

“Han Fei…” Worm felt sorry for his friends, but he didn’t dare to make any requests.

“F brought you here, and you pointed your knives at me. Now, F has abandoned you and ran. And you want to beg me to save you?” Curses crawled all over Han Fei’s body. It was like a gentle lover hugging him from behind.

Worm hugged the boy. He knew he had no right to make any request. No one would dare to face such a scary ghost alone.

“There are many players who have opinions about F. We’re only doing this to survive.”

“So you can harm innocent for the sake of survival?” The smile on Han Fei’s mask appeared to be mocking this world. But he still moved toward the neighborhood. “If I am really a bad person, I will stand in the safe zone to admire this bloody show. But I am a good person.”

All the players rushed towards the outer area. Only Han Fei moved the opposite way. He held his knife and moved towards the area which was sealed off by the blood capillaries. The players rushed past him. They looked at the suited man in shock. They still remembered someone calling his name earlier.

Han Fei!

The presence of the curses exploded. Han Fei caressed the red threads lovingly. He stood in the dark and faced the rising sun. As the first ray of the sun cut through the night, Han Fei raised his blade and thousands of curses gushed forward!

Han Fei slipped through the capillaries with ease. His agility shocked all the players. As his memory loosened, Han Fei’s consciousness reunited with his instinct. He exploded with incredible potential. Han Fei didn’t show fear of taking on the ghost several times larger than he was. He was already used to danger and would never submit to fate. Han Fei darted forward.

As he waved the blade, the names on his heart glowed with light. The curses on his body morphed into a woman suffused with love. She looked like she had nothing, but she hugged the last present the world had given her.

As the blade fell, the curses floated on the endless resentment and channeled into the ragdoll’s chest!

The dress made from the dead’s clothes was shredded. The woman’s face in the flesh cracked. Even the flesh around her was shattered by the black curse. The black curse was the world’s most deadly poison. The woman hidden inside the ragdoll started to rot. The hatred in her eyes dissolved into a blurry red.

The ragdoll screamed, and she used her remaining hand to swipe at Han Fei. Just as everyone thought Han Fei was about to retreat, he gripped the blade and charged ahead!

Whenever Xu Qin used the curses, it would cause damage to the paper doll. Since Han Fei decided to use the curse, he didn’t plan to retreat. He needed to kill this Malice!

Han Fei’s knife skills were amazing. The blade appeared to be part of his body. With his knife, he dared to challenge anything.

The Malice inside the ragdoll was first assaulted by the black blade, and then she was hit by Xu Qin’s curse. The worst thing was that dawn was coming. The rays shone on the ragdoll’s back. Everything was within Han Fei’s calculation. Malice’s power was dwindling. This was the perfect time to eliminate her. The sunlight’s effect on Malice was stronger than Han Fei anticipated. For some reason, Malice didn’t dare to appear in the sun. The sun was blurry. The cursed ragdoll suppressed her hatred and anger as she tore off the capillaries and dragged her large body to escape from the neighborhood. The ragdoll slowly minimized in the sun, and she was not as scary as before.

The curses faded away, and the red threads became less crimson. Han Fei held the knife and stood among the ragdoll’s scattered flesh. The escaping players stopped and turned back to look. They couldn’t believe their eyes. F escaped and left them behind, but this man had forced Malice back. Even Thousand Nights had his conviction shaken. The small Han Fei formed a great contrast to the giant ragdoll. However, it was the cruel ragdoll that was fleeing!

“Han Fei!” Lee Guo Er stopped the taxi beside Han Fei. Worm carried the boy and crawled into the car. They squeezed at the back. “We’re now fugitives. We better leave.”

“We’re not in a hurry.” Han Fei opened the car door and stared at the escaping ragdoll. “Chase after her. We have to kill her today!” The faint command carried a heavy intention to kill. The players who wanted to approach Han Fei froze. The smile on his mask was terrifying. The eyes behind it were scary too. The taxi drove away. Han Fei took away Fu Tian but left Worm behind.

Worm, who had been saved twice by Han Fei, had complicated emotions. After being abandoned twice by F, he no longer had hope for F. He had the feeling that Han Fei was the person who could really lead everyone out of this conundrum.

“Worm, are you alright?” Thousand Nights and the other players walked over. “Did the cursed man harm you?”

Worm shook his head. “I don’t know what to do now. I need to consult Qiang Wei.” Worm didn’t turn to F but to Qiang Wei. The players knew what he meant. Last time at Happiness Neighborhood Building 11, Worm was pushed out by F, and this time, he was abandoned again. F indeed had helped them through the most dangerous period, but he was someone who would do anything to achieve his goal. Today, he sacrificed Worm. In the future, he could sacrifice anyone else. At that moment, the players understood that they were expendables in F’s eyes.

No one persuaded Worm. Even Thousand Nights only sighed. “I will not interfere with your decision, but I hope you’ll not make the wrong choice or stand in F’s way. It’s almost dawn. We need to retreat and meet up at Point 3.”

The players carried the wound and disappeared with the night. Only Worm looked down the direction Han Fei disappeared. He felt he belonged with that group more.

The black taxi cut through the silent street. The ragdoll became smaller and smaller, but she moved so much faster. Without the taxi, they wouldn’t be able to keep up with her. “She seems to know that we’re chasing after her.”

“So what?” Han Fei leaned on the passenger seat. He stared at the ragdoll, which was melting under the sun. “Follow her. I want to know how Malice appears and loses control.”

After a ten-minute chase, the boy woke up from his dream. He looked around blurrily. He didn’t know where he was. The first thing he did was to call for his mom.

“Xiao Jia, give him the phone so that he can talk to his mom.” Han Fei had been meaning to contact that woman, but he didn’t have the chance.

“Is that really a good idea? It’ll make us look like kidnappers.” This was Xiao Jia’s first time doing things like this. He felt like he was straying more and more from his normal life.

“We just saved him from the actual kidnappers.” Han Fei stared at the ragdoll.

“Fine.” Xiao Jia scratched his toupee. He tried to make a friendly face. “Kid, do you remember your mother’s phone number? We’ll send you back to her.”

Fu Tian was squeezed between Xiao Jia and Xiao Yu. Once he woke up, he glanced at the passengers to try to memorize everyone’s faces. He frowned when he saw Han Fei. He asked with confusion. “You’re that uncle who was wearing the doll costume, right?”

Han Fei removed the mask to look at Fu Tian. “Call your mom. Someone is out to harm you.”

“Mom went to find you. She appeared to discover something. She hasn’t been back for a day already.” Fu Tian was very mature. Even though he was scared, he forced himself to be calm. “She told me to stay at home and stocked the fridge with food.”

“Do you remember her phone number?”

“I’ve called the number before, but her phone is off.” Fu Tian took out a cracked, old phone from his pocket. The phone was larger than his hand. “Mom sent me a few messages, but the phone was broken by the people who sneaked into our home.”

“Try to remember the messages your mom sent you.” Han Fei communicated easily with the child.

“She said she saw big brother at the theme park again. She said you have once saved us, so this time, she has to go and save you.” The boy started to choke. But he held his tears in. “I want to grow up quickly. Big brother is missing, and mom is gone too…”

“Your mom has gone to the theme park?!” The first thing Han Fei did after he woke up was to hurry to the theme park to find the mother and son. This was very important to him. Only after doing this that the wheels of fate would move.

“Uncle, do you know my mom before this?” Fu Tian asked. “I think you’re familiar too.”

Xiao Jia chuckled, astonished at the boy’s guileless nature. Han Fei didn’t answer but urged Lee Guo Er to drive faster.

As the sun rose, the ragdoll escaped into a high-end neighborhood on the northern side of town.

“Why would such a scary ghost live in this luxury neighborhood? No wonder the theme park can’t find her in the day.” The taxi couldn’t drive into the neighborhood. Han Fei and Lee Guo Er, who were the most physically fit, got down from the car and ran to keep up the chase. The rest stayed in the car.

The blood and flesh from the ragdoll fell everywhere. Han Fei saw the ragdoll, which was now half a meter tall, run into Building 1.

“Han Fei, we need to keep a low profile here. Don’t forget our identity.”

Han Fei put on the mask and walked into the building. He didn’t even avoid the cameras.

Han Fei followed the blood trail to the third floor. He noticed the spacious corridor was littered with boxes of old toys. The toys were stacked beside the rubbish. They were all abandoned.
