My ‘Healing’ Game
Chapter 322: The Source of Hatred

Chapter 322: Chapter 322: The Source of Hatred

After taking the medicine, Zhuang Ren was still in great agony, his symptoms only slightly alleviated.

"Why did your name appear in Zhuang Wen’s curse? Are you really not related to Zhuang Wen’s mother?" Han Fei controlled the video game character, yet his voice became increasingly frightening.

"I truly have no connection! Zhuang Wen’s mother was already mentally unstable while starring in my movie. She always returned to the film set alone late at night. Nobody knew what she was doing, and that girl is definitely not my child!" Clutching his chest fiercely, Zhuang Ren shouted with all his might.

"She returned to the set alone late at night? As far as I know, all the movies you filmed were horror films. How could a female actress dare to go to the set alone at night?"

"The last movie I shot was called ’Dream Entry.’ I had earned enough money and wanted to make a truly terrifying movie to prove myself. But the shooting was halted halfway through for various reasons!" Zhuang Ren struggled to stand up, "I still have some of the videos from back then, and it was because of that movie that I started rethinking the questions once raised by the Chairman of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical. I can show you all of this, I just ask you to help me open the doors of those rooms to see if my family is imprisoned by Zhuang Wen in room 1244!"

Zhuang Ren was emotional, and Han Fei did not say anything further, focusing their attention back on the game.

Room 1244 was like a demon cave of the Underworld, covered with curses and talismans. Han Fei quickly opened all the doors except for the master bedroom without finding Zhuang Ren’s family.

"The last room left!" Zhuang Ren’s heart rose, a moment he had long awaited.

Pushing open the door of the master bedroom, the sunlit room did not contain Zhuang Ren’s family, just a little girl.

She was sitting by the window with her legs dangling, unaffected by the malevolent room, her face bearing the innocence of a child.

"A girl?" Zhuang Ren looked at the TV screen, his excited heart drenched with cold water, seeming to age several years.

Pressing his dry lips, he stood still for a while, sighed softly, and turned to enter the bedroom, apparently going to find the old videos for Han Fei to prove his innocence.

After Zhuang Ren left, Han Fei controlled the game character to approach the little girl, and the dialogue triggered automatically.

The little girl seemed nameless and unaware of who her parents were. She also said this place was not her home, that her home was under the balcony tiles.

When he obtained the key to room 1244, Han Fei’s game character was already inflicted with the Death Curse. He wasted no time heading to the balcony.

The balcony door was plastered densely with talisman papers, and the inside was even more heavily adorned with evil-exorcising symbols.

As the game character touched each tile, upon reaching the centermost tile of the balcony, the game indicated he had discovered something.

By touching it, under the tile that could be illuminated by the morning sun, he found an infant’s corpse.

The moment the corpse was discovered, all talisman papers in room 1244 turned red, and the screen completely turned blood red, as if all the hatred had been ignited.

The Death Curse on Han Fei’s game character was also forcefully triggered, dissolving into a pool of blood.

"Why is there a nameless little girl, with no parents, in room 1244? Why is the source of all the hatred in the room an infant’s corpse?"

Awful thoughts surfaced in Han Fei’s mind, as he put down the game controller and called Li Xue again.

"What happened?"

"I need your help to check something. The autopsy report of Zhuang Wen who jumped from a building and died fourteen years ago, is it still available? Did she have a child before her death?"

"Okay."

"Another thing, do you have access to compare the blood relationships between Zhuang Wen and someone else? I suspect that Zhuang Wen might be the daughter of a previous horror film director, Zhuang Ren. I hope you can help check the citizen information database."

"I’ll need to apply for it and will get back to you in ten minutes," Li Xue hung up the phone.

At that moment, Zhuang Ren opened the bedroom door, his equipment set up, hoping Han Fei would come and watch the previous shooting videos.

"Because the props on set kept having issues, we suspected sabotage, so we installed surveillance. What we accidentally captured was alarming," Zhuang Ren pointed to an old computer that was playing the footage.

A very beautiful actress walked alone in a horror scene, seemingly talking to someone and occasionally making intimate, flirtatious gestures.

Then it was clearly visible that she was forcibly dragged away from under the surveillance camera into the depths of the shooting location.

"Where was this scene filmed?"

"In the building bought by Eternal Life Pharmaceutical in Lihua Residential Community. At that time, the apartment building had not yet been bought by them, and the house was not sealed off," Zhuang Ren pointed at the computer. "The actress went insane afterward. She said a lot of strange things to me back then, but I had no idea what she was talking about!"

"Isn’t the building where the Chairman of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical used to live as a child?"

"Yes, but he had moved out long before we shot there. Strangely enough, a few years after the actress went mad, Eternal Life Pharmaceutical bought the residential building at a high price and completely sealed it off, not letting anyone in." Zhuang Ren wanted to say more, but at that moment, Li Xue called.

Han Fei, holding his phone, stepped out of the room before answering.

"Zhuang Wen and Zhuang Ren have no blood relation, but we discovered something peculiar. Comparing with all the database information, we could not find any data on Zhuang Wen’s biological father." The information provided by Li Xue indirectly corroborated Zhuang Ren’s words, and perhaps Yuanshuang did encounter something back then, and that entity had always resided in the building where the Chairman of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical once lived.

"Did you obtain the autopsy report for Zhuang Wen?"

"She wasn’t pregnant at the time of her death, but it seemed she had borne a child before. After Zhuang Wen died, her family was also investigated, but soon after, her family members died in the same way, and the case was not pursued further. Their house has become the infamous Haunted House and remains vacant to this day."

"Can we go over and have a look? I’ve uncovered some horrifying details, so I want to verify them in person," Han Fei said. When he first encountered the Building-jumping Ghost, the system alerted him that the monster failed in transforming from hatred. In other words, the Building-jumping Ghost was the first "person" Han Fei encountered related to hatred.

What kind of events must a person have experienced to become such a terrifying entity?

After receiving Li Xue’s approval, Han Fei continued with the Death Building Game.

Room 1244 seemed like a dead end, impossible to clear no matter how hard one fought, and fatal if approached.

Three hours later, fully prepared and with the Haunted House keys in hand, Li Xue and her colleagues rushed with Han Fei to a fairly upscale neighborhood in Xinhu.

At three in the afternoon, led by the property management, the group arrived at the penthouse of the upscale community.

Upon opening the door, they were terrified by the dense talisman papers, covered in dust, behind the door.

Once inside, including Han Fei, everyone was stunned in place.

Most of it was similar to the Death Building Game, the room was covered in various spells, and it was filled with a large number of strange and frightening Evil Exorcism Items.

"This house is a Haunted House, no one dares to come here. It’s said that an entire family jumped from the building; it’s very horrifying," the property manager didn’t dare enter the room and explained from outside.

After observing for a while, Han Fei pushed open the storage room door, where inside stood a small bed with chains thrown on it.

Then, he tore off the talisman paper from the balcony door and forcefully opened it.

When the sunlight hit the floor, Han Fei’s gaze fixed on the center of the balcony’s tiles.

"Put on gloves and dig it up to check."

As the tile was smashed, a box wrapped in various talisman papers appeared, covered in odd patterns.

Peeling off the outer talisman papers and ropes, the box broke apart, revealing the bones of an infant within.
