A Healing Game (Translated Novel)

"They did it now," Xu Qin said, looking at the broken body on the floor. She pulled the kitchen knife out of the man's ribs, dragging his body towards the kitchen. "Do you want to watch me cook?" Han Fei shook his head, noticing that black threads emerged from the disassembled body. These threads seemed to have a life of their own, wriggling inside the man's body. "What are these black threads in their bodies?" "These outsiders who come from outside the community, their bodies all have these black threads. It's like a curse," Xu Qin said, dragging the skinny man into the kitchen. As she dragged him, the man's body started to dissipate, and the black threads turned into black smoke. "A curse?" Han Fei recalled the words that Chonglou had said. These outsiders seemed to have a cursed group photo. "Most of the outsiders have these black threads in their bodies. Their consciousness is already extinguished, and u...

After Han Fei took out the chrysalis, the person in room 1064 was completely captivated by it. Han Fei noticed the reaction and deliberately put the chrysalis away in front of the person. "Looks like I made a mistake." "You didn't make a mistake. This chrysalis belongs to my friend. Give it to me," the person in room 1064 said, extending a scarred and skinny arm through the security door. "So, this is a chrysalis? I thought it was a stone," Han Fei put the chrysalis back into his inventory, looking puzzled. He then gazed at the tenant of room 1064 and said, "Didn't you say earlier that no one in your family is missing? So, this thing doesn’t belong to you. Do you think I'm so easily fooled?" A flash of murderous intent crossed the tenant's eyes. He rarely reasoned with others, but today he had already spoken more than usual. "The person who gave you this chrysalis, is she a woman with long hair, her face disfigured, a...

Fresh red blood trickled down Xu Qin's lips, her fingers bitten, yet she felt no pain. Han Fei's words seemed to have triggered the deepest memories in her mind, and her expression became even more sickly and mad. Looking at Xu Qin at this moment, staring at her face, and listening to her repetitive words, Han Fei suddenly felt that the name Xu Qin sounded familiar. He carefully recalled that when he was searching for information related to the body puzzle pattern, he had unintentionally come across another case from ten years ago. The supervisor in charge of the clinical trial of a new drug at Eternal Life Pharmaceutical was poisoned by her own younger brother, and that supervisor's name was Xu Qin. The older sister and younger brother had relied on each other since childhood. The older sister had never married to take care of her younger brother, devoting herself to her work. The neighbours all thought that the siblings had a good relationship, but who could h...

Han Fei followed Xu Qin into Room 1052, watching as she turned on the faucet in the bathroom to wash her hands. The previously clean sink was instantly dyed red. "What would you like to eat today?" Xu Qin lowered her head, diligently cleaning her hands and making sure to remove all the blood stains from under her nails. "Sis, I came here today to discuss something with you." Han Fei placed the human chrysalis in his hand on the dining table. "I obtained something from the neighbour on the sixth floor." "The sixth floor? Those people aren't neighbours; they came from the outside." After finishing washing her hands, Xu Qin picked up the human chrysalis from the dining table. "Is this what you want to give me?" "It's called a human chrysalis. It's the chrysalis of a certain insect. I feel like it's quite rare, so I thought of bringing it to you." "A human chrysalis? I've never eaten one before. ...

Opening his eyes, Han Fei saw the electronic clock on the wall pointing at midnight. He got up from the floor and looked around the gloomy living room. "This place is mouldy and cold, but after staying here for a while, it actually feels like home." The sound of crackling electricity entered his ears as the TV in the living room turned on by itself. Faint images appeared on the black-and-white snowy screen. The bedroom door in the depths of the haunted house was open, and a child walked out from inside. He kept his head down, as if possessed, dragging his injured body to the living room, and sitting on the sofa. "Cui Tianci?" The child's facial expression constantly changed, sometimes terrifying and intimidating, sometimes innocent and confused. It seemed like he was struggling to suppress something. Han Fei didn't dare to approach, and the child didn't cause any trouble for Han Fei either. Whether it was because the child had gotten used t...

"It's extremely disturbing that He Shouye, who despised children, later became the director of an orphanage. He personally funded the adoption of abandoned infants and orphans on a large scale, which is highly abnormal and terrifying. We were curious why He Shouye made such a decision, so we conducted a personality simulation test to understand his psychological distortion." Li Xue mentioned a term that Han Fei had never heard before—personality simulation test. "We tried hundreds of models, and the final conclusion was that He Shouye, in his extreme aversion to children, chose to become the director of an orphanage. This abnormal behaviour was stimulated by some external factor." "Based on the advice of numerous criminal psychology experts, we organized all the notes and artifacts left by He Shouye and eventually discovered some issues." "After his own child died, He Shouye changed completely. His tone of speech, his preferences, and his pe...

"Acheng, are you sure Jiang Director will call?" The female agent anxiously paced back and forth in the room. "Maybe you should go back and apologize to the director." "Why are you in such a hurry? It's only been 21 hours and 36 minutes. Are you worried that Jiang Director won't need me anymore?" Acheng smiled on his face, but his fingers nervously grabbed the leather sofa, and his legs couldn't stop shaking. "Everything is within my expectations. The crew is probably in chaos by now." "Is that so?" The female agent looked at Acheng's trembling legs and uncertain eyes, and a bitter smile appeared on her face. "Then let's wait a little longer." ... "Jiang Yi, do you know how much impact changing the lead actor will have? Do you know how much effort I put in to bring their company on board? Do you really think this film has so many supporters?" "I will try to control the cost, and bes...

"Actor's physical training?" Li Xue heard a new term and found herself becoming more and more curious about Han Fei. He had dreamed of becoming a comedian, but he ended up discovering clues to a serial murder case while participating in a suspenseful thriller film. Although he appeared gentle and even somewhat weak, his physical and mental abilities were extremely strong, as if he had experienced hellish trials. Li Xue worked in criminal investigation and had encountered all sorts of peculiar people, but someone like Han Fei was a first for her. "The things I'm teaching you shouldn't be used casually, especially not targeting vital areas of people. If you're in danger, your first choice should still be to call the police," Li Xue said, observing Han Fei practicing diligently, as if he intended to apply these skills in real-life situations. She quickly reminded him. "Okay." "Don't be too nervous. The police have increa...

"The body puzzle case and the refrigerator body case are somehow connected, and the police have started investigating in that direction. The three Meng brothers are all within the scope of investigation, but compared to Meng Changan, the second brother, Meng Changxi, has a greater suspicion of committing the crimes." Li Xue looked at the information on her phone and retrieved some data that the police had found. As Han Fei looked at the detailed information displayed by Li Xue, he realized that he had completely underestimated the capabilities of the police. With the continuous development of technology, aided by advanced technologies, society had become an extremely complex network of interconnectedness. Anyone who used modern technology left traces on the internet that could be traced. And these traces would be collected and organized by the smart brain to create unique personality models. The personality models Li Xue showed Han Fei were those of Meng Changxi and...

"Meng Changan? Are you trying to tell me that he is the killer?" Han Fei didn't have time to ask more questions before the bodies of the seven victims were torn apart, slowly combining to form that terrifying monster. Without reason, hope, or benevolence, the monster only wanted to destroy everything in front of it. "Do these seven victims have to experience that dismemberment-like pain every night?" Han Fei left the bedroom. He glanced at the digital clock on the wall—it was already four in the morning, the time the eighth victim died. "They have been resisting all this time..." The monster was about to appear, so Han Fei silently closed the bedroom door. The ominous house was no longer safe. The monster would indiscriminately attack everyone. "The seven victims are separate individuals, but they have been forcibly stitched together. What can I do to save them?" Han Fei was exhausted. He went to the corner of the living room and chose ...

The food prepared by Xu Qin contained a certain curse. There was a 95% chance of being cursed upon the first consumption, and a 1% chance of gaining random attribute points. Han Fei had previously searched for information on the "Perfect Life" official website and found that such food with special effects was extremely rare, and hardly anyone at this stage could make it. Having finally encountered this opportunity, Han Fei certainly wasn't going to let it go. Although those foods looked strange, the additional attribute points were tangible. Moreover, Xu Qin's cooking was indeed delicious, and he had no idea what special ingredients she had added. After finishing the pig heart, Han Fei became bolder. He looked at the other dishes on the table and said, "Should I eat a strand of hair too?" After hesitating for a moment, Han Fei dismissed the thought. The hair emitted continuous screams, and just listening to it was creepy. He picked a dish with a ...

The woman's last words sent a shiver down Han Fei's spine. To make him believe there was nothing wrong with the food, she openly stated that human flesh didn't taste good. While it might not be a problem from her perspective, it was entirely different for Han Fei. How did she know human flesh wasn't tasty? Had she eaten it before? As he looked at the increasingly eerie gaze of the woman on the other side of the dining table, Han Fei slowly picked up his chopsticks. He picked up a piece of bloody organ and placed it in his bowl. Then, pretending to be careless, he lightly touched the organ in his bowl with his fingers. Based on his assumption that the game system could identify certain special items, like the cursed dining knife from before, Han Fei wanted to use the game system to evaluate the dishes on the plate. If the system provided a prompt, it meant that it was a "special" item, and whether it could be eaten depended on the system's descr...
