My 'Healing' Game

"I never viewed the teacher as our enemy. On the contrary, I've always been helping him, but I would never overestimate human nature, nor underestimate its complexity." Two didn't directly answer Four's question. He looked at the other children, "Take Zero's god statue; we must leave here quickly. If we get caught, it might cause a misunderstanding among the survivors."

The children from Class Seven evacuated from underground, having collected a large amount of sacrificial offerings, they became the only winners of this war.

The flesh on the ground had dried up. Han Fei, leading the special personality holders from the three survivor bases, pursued those hatred to the old city before stopping.

It wasn't that Han Fei didn't want to devour more hatred, but his spirit and will no longer allowed him to control the ghosts and monsters.

Standing on the boundary line between the old and new city, Han Fei's silhouette was forever engraved in everyone's hearts; they estimated they could never forget the scene before their eyes in this lifetime.

The survivors recoiling in the city fortress had never retaliated so fiercely; they repelled the waves of disaster, driving out the evil ghosts that invaded their homes.

Blood flowed like rivers behind them, clouds gathered overhead, Divine Spirits fell into a frenzy, but the crowd roared; it was their first time reversing fate with their own strength.

"Next, I will lead you to reclaim what is rightfully ours." Han Fei looked at the city's horizon, his ambition blazing like the black fire of hatred.

Previously, people yielded to the privileged class of Hope New City to gain protection, out of no alternative; now, they follow Han Fei due to a certain belief. Something in their hearts long dead was awakened, something that made them no longer fear ghosts and death, bringing them courage and strength, this is the pride of being human.

"We are not food for the ghosts and monsters, nor slaves for large bases. Everything we do is for ourselves, to prevent our families from living in darkness further, to ensure our descendants do not hide in the cracks of the earth, to ensure we can still see the rising sun tomorrow."

Han Fei turned around, looking at the special personality holders who survived the bloody battlefield, "I will stand at the forefront for you, until those evil spirits are completely eradicated!"

The Abyss and Star River appeared simultaneously, reaching the limit of personality; Han Fei had the qualification to make promises to everyone.

He didn't let anyone die for his goal; leading by example, he wanted to protect everyone. Words like these were a hundred times more useful than the speeches of those privileged. After all, one charged onto the battlefield while the others hid in the well-protected fortress.

The heavy clouds, symbolizing the Old God, were torn apart, strands of sunlight falling onto the battlefield like bright snowflakes.

The war brought Han Fei an unprecedented reputation; single-handedly breaking the deadlock, saving all survivors of the three bases, the name Gao Cheng far surpassed Gao Xing in the minds of all living people.

The most brutal battle for the divine position officially began; Gao Cheng, originally at an absolute disadvantage, had stepped out of Gao Xing's shadow step by step.

Gathering strength, Han Fei and all special personality holders returned to Hope New City, it was humanity's first return in victory.

Civilians hiding in the city district came out onto the streets, showing the utmost sincere respect for their savior.

Doors were opened one after another. Invited by the high ranks of the three survivor bases, Han Fei entered the core area of Hope New City for the first time.

Even at the most brutal times of war, the core area of Hope New City was never breached; this was the headquarters of Deep Space Technology, also the last bastion built by human elites. They still concealed an unused trump card, one of the very few bargaining chips left for the survivors.

Secretly contacting Kong Tiancheng within the brain area, Han Fei had him prepare in advance. He intended to attempt something significant enough to overturn the era next.

It's something Fu Sheng hadn't accomplished, and also where past Black Box holders had never succeeded.

The true managers of Hope New City had been waiting for Han Fei for a long time. They both loved and feared his arrival.

They loved him for helping them eliminate the life and death crisis, feared him for shaking their rule. Once wielding absolute power, they worried Han Fei might take away their control.

Ordinary eighth-time Personality Awakeners were nowhere near as terrifying as Han Fei; just the seven hatreds he swept across the battlefield with was enough to make all the high ranks apprehensive. Power could control strength, but Han Fei's strength had obviously exceeded the realm they could control.

Seeing Han Fei come in, some cunning individuals wanted to approach and understand what kind of person Han Fei truly was, but Han Fei had no intention of engaging with them.

All mid-level managers of Hope New City were sent to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded. Most of those left in the core city district were the real decision-makers.

Entering the largest conference room in the core city district, Han Fei saw the leaders of the three survivor bases in the blood-splattered hall.

Hope New City is jointly managed by seven representatives from the New City Council. Among them are an eight-time personality awakened who symbolizes the strongest combat power, the head of Deep Space Technology, mastering the most advanced technology, and the Logistics Union controlling food and the essential living goods for 600,000 people. These seven are all influential figures in the New City.

Besides the seven representatives seated at the conference table, there were also Li Xue, the head of the Disaster Investigation Bureau, and two special personality holders from Free Port.

Free Port serves as the harbor for communication between Xinhu and the outside world. The identities of the two special personality awakened are not simple. One of them, a second-time personality awakened, is the youngest son of Free Port's highest official, and the other, an eight-time personality awakened, is the guardian of the underground merchants' association in Free Port.

Han Fei stood alone on one side of the conference table, looking at everyone present: "The immediate crisis in New City has been averted, but a greater crisis is imminent."

He laid out everything about Gao Xing. The war between ghosts and survivors is essentially a struggle between the New Gods and the Old Gods.

When the embodiment of Gao Xing descends, all survivors will be slaughtered. If those present are unwilling to become slaves and the food on the dining table, they have no choice but to stand with Han Fei.

"The god will appear at the latest on his birthday. Before that, I hope you can cooperate with me to help the New God occupy the Shrine. By then, everything you own will be preserved. I can promise all of you that."

An empty promise has no value. The power holders in the conference room didn't take Han Fei's words seriously. In the face of a common threat, everyone might unite and cooperate, but once the crisis is resolved, they would start fighting each other for their own interests.

"You don't have to worry about my power affecting you. After I am well-rested, I will enter the Eternal Life Building in the A District Forbidden Building alone, thoroughly investigate the source of the disaster, and destroy the gate connecting to the world of Ghost and Monster."

Compared to the inhuman ghosts, the power holders of Hope New City were more concerned about Han Fei. He tore apart the ghost haven, drove the hatred to the old city district, and Han Fei's reputation among ordinary citizens and special personality holders in Hope New City was unmatched.

Han Fei shook the foundation of their rule, but they couldn't use the same means they used against ghosts to deal with Han Fei. The best solution for them now was for Han Fei to be killed by ghosts, weakening the power of the ghosts on one hand and restoring balance between various forces on the other.

"No one has ever been able to leave the Forbidden Building alive? Are you sure you want to try?" the representative of Deep Space Technology asked, scanning Han Fei up and down. He saw qualities in Han Fei that other power holders didn't possess. This young man's eyes were filled with burning madness, and his blazing ambition seemed unsatisfied by just one Hope New City.

"Yes, I can also assure you that I won't interfere with the matters of your three bases, but during the time before the Divine Spirit's birthday arrives, you need to fully cooperate with me." If the god stealing fails, the Divine Spirit's birthday will be the death day for everyone, and no amount of time would hold meaning for Han Fei.

"How do you want us to cooperate?" asked the eight-time personality awakened of Hope New City. He had always been apprehensive of Han Fei's power. As a fellow eight-time personality awakened, he was acutely aware of the disparity between himself and Han Fei.

"I will help treat the spiritual pollution of all the wounded, remove curses for them, but I need to build a statue of the New God in the city, and I need the faith of all survivors."

Faith is mysterious, invisible, and intangible, but it indeed exists. After a brief exchange, the representatives indicated for Han Fei to continue.

"Secondly, I want to explore a new model where humans and ghosts can coexist equally."

After Han Fei finished speaking, even Li Xue, who initially supported him most, had a somewhat grim expression, and everyone focused their gaze on him.

"After the disaster erupted, the deep blood feud between survivors and ghosts is not something that any person can easily resolve. The fear and hatred humans have towards ghosts are rooted deep in their hearts. Trying to make survivors and ghosts coexist is nothing short of a delusion!" scoffed the eight-time personality awakened of Hope New City.

"Ghosts feed on the resentment, negative emotions, and fear of the living. The more people fear, the happier and stronger they become. Many kaidan-formed hatred came into being in this manner. Furthermore, not all ghosts lose their reason. Apart from those evil ghosts that initially crawled out of the Deep World, quite a number of them were once humans! They retain their memories and emotions from when they were alive, no different from you or me!" Han Fei's will entered the brain area, opening a small crack in the Greed Abyss.

As the black mist spread through the conference room, all the representatives were on high alert: "What are you trying to do!"

"To let you meet some ghosts." Han Fei first released the soul of Kong Tiancheng, then the dark merchant with retained memories from when he was alive, and lastly, the souls of some of the upper echelons' family and friends in Hope New City.

He had been preparing for this from a long time ago, having the dark merchant watch for those special souls in the ghost-occupied city, gathering everyone together.

"The ghosts you hate are also the people you once loved."
