My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 987: Han Fei's Dream Demon

“Your house is quite populated.” Huang Yin learned many things from Han Fei, like lockpicking. However, he knew that sometimes violence was needed. After Huang Yin kicked down the door, all the dream demons were alerted, and the dead people around the gaming hub turned to look at him.

“It’s just a game. What’s there to look at?” Han Fei guarded Huang Yin. The blade shone, and the presence of the Unmentionable cast away the mist. Han Fei didn’t want to make a move so soon. Normally, he’d prefer to sneak in first, but since things had happened, Han Fei had to change his plan. “Are a group of dead people watching me while I’m playing the game in real life?”

Han Fei shivered. He touched the ghost tattoo, and his neighbors walked out. Han Fei didn’t plan to hold back. He needed to destroy this place before Dream was alerted. A normal dream demon was as strong as a Lingering Spirit. However, the difference was dream demons could combine with each other to become stronger. Plus, dream demons couldn’t be eaten by ghosts. They were pure trash for ghosts. They were mental viruses floating between the three worlds.

“Guard the outside!”

Han Fei charged into his house. After staying for so long in the cryptic world, Han Fei was quite excited to see so many guests at his house. Han Fei carefully observed the dead people. He hadn’t seen them, but he felt very familiar with them.

“I’ll never forget the people I’ve seen. This is strange. Why would these people be familiar to me?” Han Fei grew up in an orphanage. The people who accompanied him were the teachers and other abandoned children. They were not really connected. “What are you looking at?” Han Fei noticed that wires reached out of the gaming hub. The wires bound the dead people to the gaming hub. The demons outside the house attacked rabidly. Han Fei’s neighbors tried their best to stop them.

“Destroy it! Stop hesitating!” Huang Yin was also a dream demon. He could sense that all the dream demons were heading their way. “Now is the best chance!”

Han Fei knew that destroying the gaming hub would heavily damage the 11th layer, but he was curious why Dream would build the demon factory at his home. He squeezed through the crowd of dead people to look into the gaming hub. Different from real life, the gaming hub didn’t have a nutrient cocktail but a thick black liquid. The gaming helmet floated in the black liquid. Han Fei looked at the darkness. There was a voice calling him, hoping he to crawl into the gaming hub.

All the dead people looked at Han Fei. This world’s truth felt like it was hidden inside the small gaming hub. Han Fei reached his fingers toward the gaming helmet. His hands were closed around the gaming helmet.

“I know this might be a trap…” Han Fei’s life changed after he put on the helmet in real life. He discovered the same helmet in Dream’s altar world. This helmet gave him an indescribable feeling like his life would change again when he put it on.

Han Fei had been close to death so many times, and his constitution was very strong. A normal attraction wouldn’t work on him. But when he was around this strange helmet, every cell wanted him to put on the helmet and crawl into the hub.

“It feels like the hub is like my mother’s embrace. Why?” Han Fei didn’t feel uncomfortable around the dead people. If anything, he felt like he had returned home. He had only felt family connections in the altar world, but this time, his heart pounded heavily.

“It feels like… I can see my mother and family once I put on this helmet…” Han Fei knew that the bloodline resonance was not fake. Dream had placed something valuable and special at the center of the factory.

“The first batch of the experiments is handpicked by Fu Sheng. Then, the bloodred night happened. Unmentionables left behind Mad Laughter. Even though Twinflower was Gao Xing’s creation, Dream’s traces can be found in it.” Han Fei felt like he had missed something important. “Dream and Fu Sheng saw No. 0. One wanted to turn him into a shell for revival, and the other wanted to push him until he lost his mind. Is that only because No. 0 has the healing persona?”

Han Fei remembered the things that happened in the theme park world. After he gained Fu Sheng and Mad Laughter’s approval, he entered first-generation ghost’s body.

“Fu Sheng gave up using my body to revive. But he seemed to forget to tell me something like why he had chosen me…”

The people from the last generation left one after another. Fewer people knew the secrets. Li Xue’s teacher became Night Police. Of the people who knew the secret, only Dream was left.

“Is the secret about me hidden me? Dream knew the secret, so it built the factory here? My house will give birth to a new cryptic world?”

Han Fei held the gaming helmet and moved it to his head. He had the blessing of three Unmentionables, so he was not that worried.

“This is not yet complete. If you crawl into the hub, the world might be complete!” Huang Yin snatched the helmet away. “If you’re that curious, I’ll attempt it for you.”

“No. It’s too dangerous!” Han Fei argued, but Huang Yin didn’t listen to Han Fei this time.

“You’re everyone’s hope. Nothing can happen to you.” Huang Yin put on the helmet. “If something happens to me, you can still save me. If something happens to you, every player will be buried.”

Huang Yin’s eyes became abnormal. He shivered and crawled into the gaming hub. The black liquid swallowed Huang Yin’s body. A thick wire surged out of the black water. It pierced through the wall and ground and spread to other places in the city. The dream demons hidden in the city appeared to have gone insane. They rushed towards the apartment building. A giant whirlpool appeared in the dark sky. The whole city felt like it was being punished by God. Black lightning arced across the sky. The wires that came out of the gaming hub pierced through the people in the city. Some of the dream demons were directly sucked into the wires.

The small dream factories collapsed. The wiggling black hair attached to the wires. The red eyes opened at the end of the wire.

“Normal dream demons are crushed. The wires want to absorb the nutrients of the city.”

The dream demons that came to the apartment were more powerful than normal demons. They were unwilling to die just like that. Even though Han Fei had Wu Chang and Executioner, some of the dream demons still broke through. Huang Yin’s body was torn apart. Luckily, his body had already mutated.

“The helmet called for me. Huang Yin suffers the pain after he puts on the helmet, but he doesn’t get the helmet’s approval.”

Huang Yin might die in the nightmare. Han Fei had no choice. He jumped onto the gaming hub, cut his wrist, and allowed his blood to drip on the gaming helmet. Han Fei wanted to use his blood to console the voice calling for him, but once his blood touched the strange black liquid, the city started to tremble. The sticky black liquid crawled onto Han Fei and Huang Yin’s bodies. The black liquid was filled with hatred and curses.

Han Fei then realized the black liquid was actually the blood of the first-generation ghost!

He remembered the scene he saw in Fu Sheng’s eldest son’s nightmare. When Fu Sheng and his three sons entered the grave, they dug their hearts out and gave them to the first-generation ghost to become Unmentionables.

“I’ve seen this black blood before!”

Han Fei didn’t expect Dream would pour the first-generation ghost’s blood into his gaming hub. He couldn’t understand why. It appeared like Han Fei was connected to the first-generation ghost.

With Han Fei’s blood, Huang Yin’s body slowly sunk until he was submerged in the black blood. The giant impact blew Han Fei away. The ghost blood inside the hub appeared to connect to another world. This was a world made by Dream, but it was connected to reality. Every river led to the sea.

The wires kept pouring the despair and negative emotions into the hub. The black blood expanded. After consuming all the dream demons, a giant arm reached out of the blood. It almost covered the night sky.

“Is this the dream demon that came from Han Fei?” Lee Zai immediately hid behind Wu Chang.

“It has only absorbed a bit of my blood…” Han Fei said when he realized that Lee Zai was right. The city’s scariest demon was born in his ‘bed’.

The demon lost control. It waved its arm, and it felt like the sky was about to fall. Han Fei didn’t get to evade. Executioner darted forward and swung his axe at the giant arm!

Screams came out of the wound. The hand was cut off, but the hand was reconstructed at a rapid speed.

“Huang Yin is still inside the dream demon’s body. If this continues, he’ll lose himself.”

Han Fei used Cursed Words on himself and joined his neighbors to stop the demon. As long as Unmentionables didn’t intervene, Han Fei could run through any altar world.

“The altars are built in the surface world, so the dream demons should be weakened. If this happens in the cryptic world, my chance of survival will be zero.”

Han Fei used Art Appraisal to study dream demon’s weakness. Then, he used the greed abyss to trap the ghost.

Executioner growled. He sucked out all the sins from Gao Xing’s altar. They burned as fire around Han Fei.

Han Fei held Rest in Peace. His ghost tattoo lit up. Mad Laughter, No. 2, and Fu Sheng’s eldest son blessed the blade.

“Rest in Peace!” The night lit up. All the beauty and hope turned into the sharpest blade in the night.

“Execute!” Han Fei activated his passive. At that moment, he cut open the dream demon, the night sky, and the 11th layer!

Blood rained. Dying demons crawled out of Huang Yin’s body.

At the same time, the illusion shattered. The players trapped at the hospital saw how Huang Yin was surrounded by dream demons. From their perspective, Huang Yin had once again saved them from total disaster.
