My Iyashikei Game-Chapter 745: New Knives

Chapter 745: New Knives

“Do you want to start a new week?

“Notification for Player 0000! Once you start a new week, all the souls in the theme park will be sacrificed to be part of the theme park.”

Han Fei had just entered the room when the notification name.

“No!” Ghost hadn’t been found, and Han Fei didn’t want him to be sacrificed just like that. Han Fei looked around. The room called Sunday was filled with death. They were represented in various ways like unfinished paintings, noose, specimens, and various letters. The room was like an art gallery with the theme of death. It didn’t matter what happened on the other days because, in the end, there would always be death. Han Fei was only intrigued at first, but he slowly noticed something was wrong.

There was a corridor inside the room. Han Fei walked down the corridor and reached a place that was decorated like an orphanage. The calendar showed that it was Sunday. The diary left by the worker stated that all the children had been sent away to someplace where they wouldn’t return from. The orphanage was filled with signs of life, like children's clothing, used toys, and games. But there was no one around. Han Fei believed that all the orphans had been killed.

“A very normal day, at least from my perspective.” Sunday was very common. It was Han Fei’s life before he acquired the black box. It was ordinary with silence and decay.

“If I have chosen yes, would the room change?” Han Fei looked at the empty orphanage and a strange feeling kept bugging him. “No. 0’s Theme Park. The No. 0 should represent Mad Laughter and Me. However, I have no impression of this place. Therefore, these seven rooms should be made using Mad Laughter’s seven memories.”

Han Fei wanted to explore further when he heard the sound of ramming from outside the door. He immediately retraced his steps. He had just come out of Sunday when he saw the door of Monday trembled. He rushed over and pulled. Working with the force inside, Han Fei managed to open the door for Monday. Ghost crawled out with disheveled clothing. After he escaped, the door closed.

“Are you alright?” Han Fei wanted to help Ghost, but when he touched the man, a piercing chill shot at his heart.

“I’m fine.” Yin Kui lifted his head. He looked at Han Fei differently. The eyes were filled with pity and suspicion.

“Notification for Player 0000! Grade C Broken Soul, Yin Kui, has cleared the first room. You’ve gained 5 points of friendliness level and gained a unique status, compassion with him. He has seen many things, but he can’t explain any of them.”

The system prompted Han Fei to ask Ghost, “How come it feels like you’re different? What did you see inside the room?” “I saw your past…” Ghost smiled sadly. He didn’t continue this topic. “It’s our fault that you became a monster. Someone has to bear this sin, and someone has to correct this mistake.”

“I’m thankful, but I don’t think I’m a monster!” Han Fei pointed at his face, “Am I a monster?”

“A mental patient will never see themselves as crazy.” The things Ghost saw really triggered him. He really believed Han Fei was crazy.

“Let’s talk about something more concrete. The theme park is in a very difficult spot now. Your own friend, Dream, has become an Unmentionable. It plans to kill everyone here and slowly corrupt the real world. I’ve been trying to stop it, but I’m too weak. Therefore, I hope you can join me.” Han Fei hoped that Ghost would stay to help him.

“I’m still too heavily injured!”

“It’s okay.” Han Fei opened his menu. He hadn’t used his reward from clearing Fu Sheng’s altar world. “I can cure the wounds of any ghost under Pure Hatred!”

“It won’t work on me.” Ghost shook his head. He looked at his broken arm. “I’m different from normal ghosts. I walk a special path, a path chosen by all Ghosts of the theme park.”

“A special path?” Han Fei didn’t think Ghost was lying because there was no need for him to lie.

“Ghosts can strengthen ourselves by defeating evil in others. The more ghosts we defeat, the more powerful we’d become.” Ghost glanced at Han Fei’s ghost tattoo. “It’s not that dissimilar from how your tattoo works. Actually, I’m curious whether you’ve inherited Ghost’s power. The butcher’s knife and ghost tattoos are normally used by Ghosts.”

“They should be Fu Sheng’s presents to me.” The ghost tattoo was painted by his neighbor, and the butcher’s knife was made by Spider. They were both related to Fu Sheng.

“Fu Sheng? What a familiar name… It feels like the name is disappearing from my memory.” Ghost said that while he looked at Han Fei, but it was another young man reflected in his eyes. But the image was slowly replaced by Han Fei. “Okay, I can help you, but I need to forge a new knife.”

“I know a place. You should be able to find a new knife there.” Han Fei called a few citizens, and they hurried to Cattle Alley. This was Spider’s former liar. It was filled with dirt and gore. Humans who lost their souls hunted and were hunted. Han Fei looked at the alleys where he had met many near-deaths. He had grown so much. f𝓇ℯℯ𝚠e𝒃𝘯𝒐νel.co𝐦

“My butcher’s knife is made here. Look carefully. There should be good knives here.”

Ghost was very familiar with butcher’s knife. Han Fei wanted to use this opportunity to collect all the knives at Cattle Alley and share them among the citizens so they could protect themselves. Most ghosts fought with instinct, but the souls Han Fei got from Fu Sheng were unique. They still had clear minds. With Ghost’s leadership, they could become stronger and guardians of rules.

Ghost’s eyes glowed once they entered Cattle Alley. His nose twitched like he smelled something amazing. Ghost pulled out many old knives. He could converse with the spirits trapped inside the blades and read their thoughts.

“The knives here are old and used, but if you train them patiently, they can be turned into sharp knives.” Ghost used one arm to inspect all the knives. All the knives he touched would glow with spirit. “The knife itself is not good or bad. The important element is the user. One has to find a knife that is compatible with them.” Ghost placed all the knives on Big Sin. He planned to carry them all back to the theme park for the citizens to pick. “The reason I chose you is because of your butcher’s knife. Someone with that butcher’s knife can’t be a bad person.”

Ghost came to the meat packing factory. He picked up the giant chain used by the former manager. He stopped. “What a cruel blade. It’s heavy with murder and sin.” He removed the sharp hook from the chain. The hook was around half a meter long, and it was black with blood.

“Is this a butcher’s knife too?” Han Fei was confused. He was almost impaled by this thing.

“Yes.” Ghost smiled. This was the first time Han Fei saw him smile. “I’m surprised that we’d find a new knife so soon. It’s still weak now, but I’ll make it into the sharpest knife.” Ghost was still not satisfied. He continued to wander around the factor. When he came to the dry blood pool, his eyes lit up again. “This is a suitable knife for me too.” Ghost jumped into the pool and picked out a long boning knife. Different from the other knives, this knife was undamaged. Even though it was submerged in the blood pool, the blade was clean.

“Strange. This blade is not corrupted and is very lucky.” This was Ghost’s first time seeing such a blade too. Han Fei was confused. The blade was hidden in the deepest part of the blood pool. It was close to where Spider’s heart once was. He didn’t notice it before because he was too focused on the heart.

“The whole Cattle Alley is built to forge this blade.” When Ghost waved the knife, the bloody air in the factory appeared to be sliced through.

“Spider’s nemesis is Butterfly. He has been meaning to create a blade of humanity. This should be a blade he prepared for himself, but he still got it wrong. A blade of humanity couldn’t be forged.” Han Fei guessed. “Can I look at the two knives?”

The knives ‘examined’ by Ghost had all changed. One of Ghost’s talents appeared to be triggering the properties of murder weapons.

“Notification for Player 0000. You’ve discovered an upgradeable Grade F butcher’s knife, Demon Fiend.

“Demon Fiend: This knife can trap souls and absorb pain and sin. The more you kill, the faster this knife grows.

“Notification for Player 0000. You’ve discovered an upgradeable Grade F butcher’s knife, Lucky Charm.

“Lucky Charm: This knife will only be used by those it approves.”

Ghost was really an expert in this field. If not for him, Han Fei wouldn’t have found these two knives. Han Fei didn’t think about taking them. He already had Rest in Peace. He would leave these two knives with Ghost.

With Ghost’s help, they found around 500 butcher’s knives in Cattle Alley. 400 of them were normal knives filled with death and misfortune. Around 50 of them became Grade G butcher’s knives after Ghost communicated with them. Other than Demon Fiend and Lucky Charm, Ghost found two more Grade F Butcher’s Knife. Han Fei planned to bring them back to the theme park. He wanted Ghost to pick suitable people from the souls and teach them how to use and know knives. There was no rule in the cryptic world. Everyone could kill. Everyone could be the judge.

By then, Han Fei had used almost all the rewards he gained from Fu Sheng. He planned to reserve the healing opportunity for emergencies in the future. Then, he planned to use Mirror God’s Soul Exchange and No. 0’s Theme Park to expand and improve before Dream’s arrival.

With Xu Qin’s company, Han Fei wandered around the theme park for a long time before he triggered a Grade G mission. After he finished it, Han Fei realized Grade G missions couldn’t bring him EXP anymore. He was in a difficult spot where he couldn’t find new missions in his existing territory anymore. The system also forced him to explore further.

“Level 25. I can’t believe I’m still at the beginning stage of the game. In another game, I would have ended the world already.”

After completing the mission, Han Fei started to arrange for his neighbors to explore the map further. He found the painter and went to the hospital to find the white shoes. White shoes hated Han Fei, but after his kindness appeared, the white shoes hated him less. It was still too early for him to help Han Fei, but at least he didn’t try to kill Han Fei anymore.

After everything was done, Han Fei logged off. Due to the path in the maze, it was chaotic in real life, and Han Fei didn’t dare to stay in the game for too long.

Han Fei removed the gaming helmet and walked to the window. He sneaked a look outside. Even though it was already late night, there were still many reporters outside his home. “They sure are professional.”

Han Fei cooked himself a meal. While he ate, he looked through the news. Huang Yin was first on trending. He was hailed as a hero. The mysterious man in the beast mask was second. With Deep Space Tech and Immortal Pharma’s ‘help’, he became the leader of some hacker group that was exploiting the game bug and the reason why so many players lost their accounts.

“It’s like what I expected, but they still haven’t provided an actual solution. That is surprising. Do they plan to let the bug continue to exist?”

Han Fei was still in the eye of the storm. The two big companies were still watching him. If not for the constant police protection, he might have mysteriously ‘disappeared’ already.

Han Fei checked his inbox. After dealing with spam, he saw a mail from an unknown sender.

“I’m Du Jing. We met at the theme park. I have a few questions I need to ask you. If you’re convenient, do you mind giving me an address so that we could meet?”

Perhaps because Han Fei hadn’t replied, the sender mailed another message every half an hour after the first message.

“I’ve pondered this for a long time. I feel like I’ve forgotten something very important in my life. I try to remember him, but I can’t.”

“Can you please tell me? Does Fu Tian have one close family member?”
