My 'Healing' Game

All miracles come with an intense feeling of inevitable success.

Number One was certain he could shatter the shackles of fate; he knew he had the backing of the other children and firmly believed that together, they could accomplish anything.

The other children also placed their complete trust in Number One, with no one wavering. This was because they had already done all the preparations in advance to enable Number One to create a new miracle.

"It doesn't matter what personality you have, in my shrine, no one can kill me!" The necrotic flesh was torn apart, and blood-red pupils condensed from despair stared at Number One as the soul split of Gao Xing, hiding within the orphan's flesh, awakened.

"When we decided to hunt you, we already examined all the tributaries of fate. As far as I'm concerned, you have no hope of escape." Number Three silently stood behind Number One, and took out that tattered notebook: "To let Number One strike this blow, we located all the God Statues two days ago and manipulated the pharmacy clerks guarding the clay sculptures to unwittingly add the new god's curse item to your sacrificial offering."

Number Two slowly raised his arm, and the chains wrapped around Number One's wrist began to loosen. Two unspeakable forces clashed together, causing each link of the chain to tremble.

The blood-red pupils in the boy's eye sockets realized the danger, his double eyes slightly twitched, as if wanting to escape from the boy's body.

"It's useless." Number Three spread open the notebook, which had hundreds of children's names written on it, though only seventy-plus names were marked with red crosses: "This notebook was intentionally shown to you; all the children who might bear your soul are now completely under our control."

Flipping to the next page of the notebook, each blood-soaked name entered the boy's eye sockets.

"We didn't just happen to find you, we targeted you from the start and only confronted you after cutting off all your escape routes." Number Three casually burned the notebook, glancing at Number One: "Every miracle's occurrence is built on countless setups and coincidences. I set up the process, Number Two created the coincidence, and Number One is the miracle itself."

"Boom!"

A destiny chain snapped, and then numerous chains tainted with viscous sin blood shattered throughout the New City, with nothing left to obstruct Number One's will.

His personality power pierced through the blind boy's body and struck the ugly soul inside him.

The great lock trapping the city seemed to burst open; as the soul fragmented, even the clouds in the night sky lightened, and long-awaited starlight sprinkled upon the ruins of civilization.

"You all..."

The weak soul representing Gao Xing's tragic past had to endure fate's backlash alone, yet even so, killing it would not be easy.

As long as there were orphans in the Hope New City who met his criteria of despair, his soul could transfer at any time; as long as there was a clay sculpture of him inside the New City, he could invoke the shrine's power at any moment.

Gao Xing's residual soul, seemingly impossible to lose, was ultimately killed by children who had all experienced the deepest despair; they understood each other too well, for they all once fought to survive amid hopeless suffering.

"The soul representing you now has been devoured, the soul symbolizing your past has also been annihilated. If you can't even protect your future, then this shrine will be utterly overturned." Number Two seemed to speak deliberately like this, and hearing his words, Gao Xing's residual soul within the blind boy let out a piercing scream.

Before scattering, it destroyed all the God Statues in the Hope New City, a kind of ineffable aura radiating from the Inner City District, spreading toward the ghost-occupied abandoned metropolis.

Before long, the starlight in the night sky began to twist, threads of hatred interwoven at the city's edge, with countless ghosts emerging from their hidden shelters.

Hundreds of ghosts parading at night inadequately described this terror, as Gao Xing sensed the threat, intending to unleash a new wave of Disaster!

The highest level warning sounded in Hope New City's buffer zone, resonating over the entire city. The hatred already prepared to perform a blood sacrifice on Hope New City acted prematurely due to Gao Xing's provocation!

The lights within the district began to extinguish in succession, chaotic footsteps incessantly echoed, the Inner City District's gates were flung open, and Hope New City's core combat power mobilized urgently.

This city, symbolizing humanity's last hope, had basked in peace for too long and now seemed like a giant beast just awakening, flinging about its claws long unused.

Siren blares quickly replaced all sound, with residents inside the city hiding in their homes as the city plunged into darkness.

"What we're doing... It should be the right thing, right?" Number Four witnessed the city's transformation with his own eyes; this was just the beginning, more brutal and terrifying events would unfold in the coming days.

"The hatred aligns with some higher-ups in Hope New City, they're conspiring inside and out to blood sacrifice all the city's residents. If we hadn't intervened, their well-laid plan would have proceeded smoothly, making them even harder to stop." Number Two glanced at Number Four: "Now, neither side is prepared, which is the most advantageous situation for us. The chaos can also allow more survivors to escape."

Number Two was neither a good person nor a bad person. Being able to see fate meant he was no longer human to a large extent.

The soul fragments of the tragic past symbolizing Gao Xing were smashed by Number One, collected by Number Two, and all the children left the Inner City District at their fastest speed.

The entire city is now under martial law, and the students of Class Seven are in no hurry to leave, after all, the blood sacrifice officially begins from this moment.

They returned to a residential house in the Central District and entered an underground shelter dug by the homeowner, where a newly constructed altar stood.

The altar was very new, but it had already completed several sacrifices in a very short period. The god statue on the altar seemed almost alive, brimming with divinity, as if it could open its eyes at any moment.

"Zero, wake up soon, we don't want to owe you anything more."

Number Two offered Gao Xing's soul fragments as a sacrificial offering to Kuangxiao, and at the moment the sacrifice was completed, Kuangxiao's god statue also showed signs of turning into flesh and blood. In the future, it's possible Kuangxiao could actually walk out of the god statue!

"Gao Xing's god statue and altar have already been destroyed a lot, but it's not ruled out that traitors in Hope New City will continue to build new altars for it. We must seize the blood food before they complete the sacrifice."

The war between Hope New City and Xinhu Old City erupted, a war between the most powerful survivor base and all the ghosts and monsters filled with hatred. The buffer zone stretching over a dozen kilometers would become a flesh-and-blood grindstone, with no room for retreat on either side.

The ground trembled, the night sky wept, and black rain began to fall on the horizon, with the wind filled with an acrid smell of blood.

This was only the first night, and already countless ghosts and survivors had their souls scattered.

...

"Han Fei, Han Fei!"

In a haze, someone was calling a name, and the focus slowly returned to Han Fei's double eyes, quickly realizing something.

He had borrowed Gao Cheng's identity; everyone in the Shrine Memory World should call him Gao Cheng and would not call him Han Fei.

Following the direction of the call, Han Fei seemed to see another version of himself, far away and completely out of reach.

"Kuangxiao?"

Excruciating pain emanated from the back of his head, and his whole body felt as if it were falling apart. Han Fei abruptly opened his eyes, finding himself lying in the Greed Abyss.

He wasn't sure how long he had been unconscious. After forcibly devouring the soul symbolizing Gao Xing, a radical transformation occurred in his Personality World.

Stars above, abyss below, a galaxy composed of personalities overhead and a sea of souls underfoot; life and death formed an almost perfect cycle, with bizarre life forms beginning to emerge in his Personality World.

"This feels like the unspeakable Shrine Memory World!"

Using all past experiences, memories, and accumulation as a framework to construct an independent Shrine World, Han Fei discovered what seemed like another path, an unexplored one that even Fu Sheng had not tried.

"So the living don't need to become ghosts or become the unspeakable to reach this stage."

In this despairing future of Gao Xing's, Han Fei unexpectedly discovered hope most suited to him.

"The system prompt says I've reached the limit of personality awakening in this Shrine Memory World. Does this imply that if a personality can break through nine times, I'll be infinitely close to the unspeakable?"

Gao Xing's essence is the unspeakable, so it's difficult for his Shrine Memory World to nurture a second unspeakable, with the limit of power topping out at upper-grade hatred.

But Han Fei never intended to abide by Gao Xing's Shrine rules; rebellious thoughts filled his mind about slaying gods and becoming the master of the Shrine.

Looking at the vibrant "Extreme Evil World," Han Fei felt that all his efforts were worth it.

Mental pollution could no longer impact him. With the Divine Spirit Eyes and Flesh Factory, manipulating Black Water and despair, he could, if he wished, become the biggest source of mental pollution.

All the personalities in the sky formed a unity with the Healing Personality, and Han Fei's willpower and mental strength increased tenfold. This enhancement would be permanently retained; even after leaving the Shrine Memory World, his willpower would remain unchanged.

With focused intent, Han Fei knew he could now control hatred not from four but seven, and the most crucial was he had gained a top-level trump card—Eternal Life.

Eternal Life, slumbering at the center of the world, was now the most powerful specter Han Fei had imprisoned. He himself had no idea how terrifying this ghost was.
