My Iyashikei Game-Chapter 872: Second Sacrifice

The fear deep inside Tong Xin morphed into Pure Hatred. It helped Han Fei awaken the greed persona for the seventh time. This was not the only thing he got from this excursion.

“Notification for Player 0000! Healing persona strengthened! When you cleanse all the contaminated persona in your mind, the healing persona will be permanently buffed!

“Notification for Player 0000! Illness core has consumed enough patients and doctors to become a Large Lingering Spirit!

“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve discovered a Pure Hatred level sacrifice—Tong Xin’s last memory. Please complete the sacrifice as soon as possible.”

Whenever the greed persona awakened, it would cause extreme pollution to the brain. Han Fei might have been consumed if he was not careful. Therefore, he had to continuously strengthen the healing persona to balance it out. This time, he had help from No. 2. The brain in the jar combined with Han Fei’s mind to help him control all the personas. Without No. 2’s brain fragment, the director would force Han Fei to go crazy.

“It looks like you’ve gained a lot this time.” No. 2 sat beside the altar. He was familiar with how Han Fei did an inventory of his power. “I’ll leave my brain fragment with you first. It’ll help you develop the power of your consciousness. However, you need to learn to master the patients’ personas as soon as possible.” No. 2 gave Han Fei time to adapt. After Han Fei learned to master the personas, he would take his brain fragment back.

“It’s dark. Time to go out.” The director was just the appetizer for the kids. The kids’ real target was Gao Xing. Everything they did was around that. Han Fei covered the jar with a black cloth. Han Fei bandaged the two mental patients and led all the kids to the Third Mental Hospital. The center was still expanding its search to confirm the director’s death. The admin also came to take over the mental hospital. After the director’s ghost territory was destroyed, the sins hidden under the hospital were exposed. Other than the personas consumed by Han Fei, there were endless curses and patients. Some of them worked for ghosts, while others were just pets kept by the director. Patients and doctors needed to be quarantined to be checked for mental corruption. The third mental hospital was one of the longest-standing Black Buildings. It did research on human nature and was a big threat to humanity. The hospital had many research results on personas and secrets of ghosts. The center managed to launch the first counterattack against ghosts by taking down the mental hospital. This was a cause for celebration. ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.𝚌𝚘ｍ

“Teacher Gao, are the kids alright?” Xue Ba was covered in bandages. He was still recovering, but he led people to come to check on Han Fei.

“They are fine. They also learn many things from this journey.”

“That’s great.” Xue Ba sighed in relief. He looked at Han Fei with appreciation. “If you didn’t destroy the ghost territory, all of us might have died. It is scary to think about that.”

“I was just lucky.” Han Fei was very humble. His reputation among the center rose.

“The weak will blame fate while the strong will say that they’re lucky.” Xue Ba wanted to chat more with Han Fei when Tou Qi waved at Han Fei.

“Gao Cheng, Captain Zhong from the investigation team, wants to see you.” He waited for Han Fei to get closer and lowered his voice. “Captain Zhong is from the main fighting force. He values you a lot, but remember that he hates ghosts. Try not to bring up your persona.”

Tou Qi led Han Fei to the special car.

The door closed. An elder’s voice rang in Han Fei’s ears. “Teacher Gao, please sit.”

Han Fei lifted his head in shock. The elder before him was familiar. He appeared to be Li Xue’s former superior. He was also an excellent officer. He had helped Han Fei. He was the one who arranged the 24-hour security detail on Han Fei.

“Old Captain?” Han Fei blurted out. The elder, who was normally so serious, broke into a smile.

“I’ve heard about you from Li Xue. Even though I also can’t remember you, I believe you.” The elder wore his uniform as a reminder of the kind of person he needed to be. “Take a seat. I’ll soon be demoted to the logistics department.”

“Demoted?”

“I’ve made a mistake this time. I misjudged the director’s ability and almost caused everyone’s death. I won’t run away from that responsibility.”

“Who would have thought that the director’s ghost territory would be so much stronger than a normal Pure Hatred? Without this experience, we’ll make more mistakes in the future. You didn’t do anything wrong. We merely took too long to start this mission. Perhaps we should have made our moves a few years ago. Then, fewer kids would be injured.” Han Fei’s eyes were sharp. Captain Zhong wanted to be harsh when dealing with ghosts, but Han Fei wanted the Unmentionables to perish.

“Let’s not talk about that anymore.” The elder took out a card. “You’re a young man with great potential. I’ve observed your actions during this mission. Perhaps you didn’t realize you carry a kind of special power. It’s like a fire in the dark. It gathers everyone together.” Han Fei accepted the card. It contained the 50000 contribution points the elder had. “This is…”

“Your extra reward and a vote from me.” The elder waved his hands. “Go and clear your debt.”

“Vote?”

Han Fei left with the card. Not long after he left, Fu Lie entered the vehicle and took the spot Han Fei vacated. “We can’t find the director. He has escaped.”

“The biggest reward this time is not the director but discovering Gao Cheng. He might be a better potential than Li Xue,” Captain Zhong sat across from Fu Lie. These two were old friends.

“I don’t care about that. I just want revenge.” Fu Lie said so but his eyes looked at Han Fei outside the car. Complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. This persona user with 8 awakenings seemed to see something different in Han Fei. The cars started and the center members left in batches. They leveled the hospital after clearing everything.

Destroying the hospital was like a new year celebration for the center. Everyone had a morale boost. Han Fei didn’t join the celebration. He drove No. 1 and No. 2 to An Kang Pharmacy. Han Fei summoned the black merchant and went downstairs. He placed the jar with the director’s memory on the altar. The children dripped their blood on the edge of the altar. The figurine’s facial features became clearer. It tried to open its eyes to see the demon that he hated so much!

A crack appeared on the jar. Then, the jar exploded. The director was grabbed by the figurine.

“How dare you worship another God? God will never forgive you! It has seen you! It will soon return!” No matter what the director said, its ending was decided. The director’s last will was crushed and sacrificed to the altar.

“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve completed the second sacrifice. The sacrifice is at Pure Hatred level! You’ve gained all the EXP for yourself and gained another wish!

“Wish 1: Double EXP!

“Wish 2: A random E talent given by God!

“Wish 3: Give up the wish so that God can awaken faster!”

Similar to last time, Han Fei chose the last wish.

After two sacrifices, the figurine became more like a human. The exterior started to surface with patterns. Its connection to Han Fei also became stronger.

Han Fei looked at the figurine and felt like he was looking at himself, another self who was trapped inside a cage, waiting to be rescued.
