My Iyashikei Game C.942: Bloodred Promise

Han Fei had met an extremely unlucky player in the cryptic world. His luck was zero and the lowest value for luck, according to the system, was zero. If that were just it, Han Fei wouldn’t be so worried but that player had a crazy talent called, Rescue after Desperation.

Back inside the plastic surgery hospital altar, the player got into many near-death situations but was always saved by Han Fei. What was his ending?

After leaving the plastic hospital, the player immediately called Xu Qin as Han Fei’s 11th wife. At that moment, Han Fei’s brain stopped. Even if he was heavily injured, he sprung up from the ground.

Han Fei recognized the player from the handwriting, and his face appeared in Han Fei’s mind. However, Han Fei refused to say the man’s name. His name was scarier than the Unmentionable. “Is he the sacrifice prepared by Gao Xing? But it makes no sense! I didn’t even see him in the worst future. Why does he always manage to get into the worst situation?”

This was the first difference between Gao Xing’s predicted future and reality.

“Hasn’t Lab No. 1 been abandoned? Why would a living person be trapped here?” Huang Yin grabbed the worker. “Unless they were truly desperate, why would they use their blood to leave a message on the wall?”

“I-I don’t know.” The worker was innocent. “This shouldn’t be. No one should be here.”

“Do you normally patrol this place?” Assistant Tao asked seriously.

“The superior never allow us to come near this place.” The worker kept explaining. He took out his phone to call his superior, but he was stopped by Han Fei. “From this moment onwards, you don’t need to report to anyone anymore. You only need to follow us.” Han Fei frowned. He moved down the corridor towards Lab No. 1. The back of his brain thudded with pain. There was a voice calling Han Fei.

Han Fei didn’t have this memory. He had never seen the bloodred orphanage in real life either. There was a door that was as shiny as a mirror at the end of the corridor. The door was built in such a way that the people outside could see inside but not the other way around.

“Do you have the key?” Han Fei waved at the worker. The worker shook his head. Han Fei grabbed a hammer from the man’s toolbox and swung it at the door. The door shattered like a mirror. Han Fei put down the toolbox. He was attracted by something and stumbled forward.

Windows were painted on the walls. Never-changing seasons were depicted outside the window. Standing among the painted windows, Han Fei looked at the building before him. The orphanage that trapped Mad Laughter overlapped with the scenery before him. Han Fei could see blood oozing out from the cracks. The many memory fragments floated up in Han Fei’s mind. The difference between the two worlds blurred. Han Fei gasped for air. For some reason, his body started to tremble.

Even though it had been 20 years, the pain was carved into his body. Even though Mad Laughter had taken away all the pain, certain things couldn’t be changed. Everything in Han Fei’s sight turned red. His life was always threatened because no one could escape from the bloodred night.

The memory of the kids weaved with reality. Han Fei’s nails dug into his skin. He couldn’t remember the past, but everything he saw brought him fear.

Knife stabbed into flesh. Healing became death. The kind individual slowly turned into a monster.

“You should be laughing.” An unfamiliar voice appeared in his mind. Han Fei standing at the orphanage entrance seemed to move 20 years back in time. The bloody Han Fei looked at the red orphanage, and a twisted soul stood behind him.

“Han Fei?!” Huang Yin shook Han Fei’s shoulders. “What did you see?”

“On the bloodred night, there was a twisted soul standing behind me. It was it that killed all the children!” Han Fei sensed the presence of the cryptic world from the soul. “Is that Gao Xing or Dream?”

“Every child has a different personality. They care about different things. However, everything they care about in the orphanage has been stolen.”

Lab No. 1 had moved everything from the bloodred orphanage. Everything here was something Han Fei had used in the past. Han Fei had forgotten about the past, but his body couldn’t forget the fear. Once he touched something, some memories would loosen. Normally, if he was trapped here alone, he’d rediscover his former despair.

“Gao Xing saw me as the key. He would decapitate me once I fell back into despair. Since the black box is in my head, once they sacrifice me, they will easily open the tunnel to connect the two worlds.” Han Fei figured out Gao Xing’s plan. However, he didn’t understand why Shen Luo was there.

“Why would the criminals think Shen Luo was one of the children of despair? What did they discover on Shen Luo?”

Han Fei was shocked that even the Unmentionable could catch the wrong sacrifice. However, it was also reasonable that this happened to Shen Luo.

“Is this how he repays me for saving him so many times?”

Han Fei was reminded of awful pasts through the objects there. The memories were all red in color. There was no moon or star that night. Everything was dark. Twisted souls appeared at midnight. They radiated the presence of Unmentionables. They worked together to crush Fu Sheng. To destroy Fu Sheng, they found the hope Fu Sheng had created. The twisted souls targeted all the children who were part of the experiment. They believed these children were the heir of the black box. Therefore, they tormented these children as a way to take revenge on Fu Sheng. The kids didn’t know what was about to happen until the twisted souls appeared beside their beds. They woke up the kids with laughter. They told the kids to murder each other because only one person could survive. If the kid didn’t want to kill, the twisted would be mad. They would torture the kids with methods worse than death.

Most of the children went insane. Blood mixed with tears. Han Fei could hear the souls laughing.

It was too painful, and there was no chance of resistance. There was no place to hide. Some of the children sought death as a release. The Unmentionables understood human nature. They added a new rule. Those who died later would have to experience the pain and despair of those who died before them. The young children chose to die. In the end, only the kindest kid remained, the child who had the healing persona.

He didn’t choose death even when the sun came up. He would continue living with the pain and despair of his friends!

The twisted souls didn’t kill him. It was not because they pitied him but because they hoped the child would always live in torment. The bloodred night was the Unmentionables’ revenge on Fu Sheng. In the end, they created a monster.

Han Fei walked out of the orphanage and turned back to look. On the stairs, there was a kid covered in red. He stood alone among the Unmentionables. When the sun shone on his face, he flashed a smile at Han Fei.

“Mad Laughter stayed behind that night. He left the rest of his life to me.”

Only Han Fei knew the meaning of that laugh. It was a simple smile, but that was something he and Mad Laughter would never possess. It was their promise too.

“I am not Mad Laughter’s imagined persona. Both of us have a reason to exist.” Han Fei memorized the faces of these twisted souls. “I will do the things I need to do.”
