My Iyashikei Game

People would start to appreciate something when they lost it. Han Fei wanted to send this message to Gao Cheng when the boy, who had been quiet suddenly, fluttered his eyes. “You can open your eyes to see it for yourself. Your mother has suffered so much for you. She hasn’t told you any of these and has been suffering silently.”

She was squeezed between two children. One was her biological child, and the other was the child she raised. Ghost Mother was crushed in between. The mutation inside the kindergarten was still happening. Ghost Mother’s fair skin started to have more ugly scars. The curse was like a blunt knife cut into her soul. If she didn’t pull her eyes away from the kid, then her body would deform even more. Han Fei couldn’t bear to see this, so he walked out of his hiding spot. However, before he got close, Ghost Mother walked to the boy. She carefully grabbed the boy’s hand that reached for the altar. The ghastly appearance and her gentleness formed a great contrast. Even if she was tortured into a monster, she was still very gentle. The boy who was controlled by Brother Chou was shocked. He also didn’t expect Ghost Mother to appear and that she was a Pure Hatred with a special power.

“This clothes… Where did you get this?” The tired voice came from everywhere. Ghost Mother was part of the building. This was her ghost territory. Brother Chou was very clever. He knew that he couldn’t be exposed now. He didn’t speak. He triggered the boy’s nature so that he’d cry. The boy Brother Chou found was indeed very cute. Tears slid down his face. Brother Chou lowered his head. He was planning something else. The boy was just a stepping board. Brother Chou’s real target was Ghost Mother, but it was not easy to take over a Pure Hatred.

“Did the clothes guide you here?” Ghost Mother said softly. She was a monster, but her voice was still very kind. She was very different from the other ghosts. The boy nodded immediately.

“Leave. The clothes will bring you misfortune. Don’t be affected by him.” Ghost Mother’s body collapsed rapidly. Once she showed concern for anyone other than Gao Xing, God’s curse would trigger. The surprising thing was Ghost Mother was connected to the souls of all the ghosts and survivors in the building. Once she died, all the people in the building would die, including the innocent children and teachers. Gao Xing was cunning. He made use of Ghost Mother’s kindness and tied everyone’s fate to her.

“Leave. Don’t come back.” Ghost Mother said this to the soul inside the clothes. She couldn’t protect Gao Cheng. She could barely protect herself.

Brother Chou noticed this as well. He made a brave decision. He forced the boy to lift his head to look at Ghost Mother. Then he stumbled towards her. He didn’t care about Ghost Mother’s reaction. He treated her like she was his real mother. Ghost Mother tried her best to control her emotions so that she wouldn’t harm the kid. The boy couldn’t see her difficulty. He leaned against Ghost Mother and called her mother.

The simple word had a different meaning for Ghost Mother. She could easily push the boy away, but when her hands moved to touch the old clothes, she didn’t have the heart. Instead, she ruffled the boy’s hair. “Go home, kid. This is not a place where you should be.” The curse from God didn’t break Ghost Mother. The boy sensed the Ghost Mother’s weakness. Brother Chou’s special power sneaked into Ghost Mother’s wound. The other kids were affected by the curse. Ghost Mother pushed the boy out of the kindergarten so that no one would be affected. After leaving the room, the boy was still crying, but there was excitement in his eyes. He couldn’t wait to take over Ghost Mother’s body.

“The rumor is real! Ghost Mother is scary, but once she dares to resist God’s will, she’ll become the weakest Pure Hatred.” Brother Chou tried his best to shield his wicked thoughts. “She’ll take time to recover. Now is the best chance! I can’t wait anymore!” Brother Chou ran down the corridor. His partners met with him downstairs.

“How goes it? Did you find God’s mother?”

“Protect my body! We’ll leave now!”

The three criminals left Sky Garden at the highest speed. They entered the adjacent building. Brother Chou was still hidden inside the boy. He took out a device. “Prepare to call the others! Get all the teams from Hope City to come to Zone A! We’re making a move now!” These three were painted on the ghost cards. They had God’s blessing. Thus, they gathered followers easily.

“That desperate?” The man with the club tattoo was shocked.

“We can’t miss this opportunity.” Brother Chou exposed his true nature once he was out. He tore at his skin. “You don’t know that feeling. When I saw her, I wanted to dominate her! I haven’t had such a desire in a long time! God’s mother, is there something more perfect than her in this city?” Brother Chou breathed heavily. Normal people couldn’t understand his thoughts.

“Okay. We’ll trust you this time.”

The three took out a bloody communicator. They were different from Deep Space Tech’s bands. They appeared to be found in the ruins.

“Zone A’s Sky Garden. Hurry here within an hour…”

“40 minutes! I can’t wait that long! No! Tell them to be here in less than an hour!” Brother Chou’s eyes were red. His brain was filled with Ghost Mother. The sky darkened. Soon, the silence was shattered as a black truck drove deep into Zone A. This truck belonged to Hope City, but the symbol had been replaced by a giant eyeball painted with fresh blood.

“Boss, why did you summon us?” The black truck was filled with various sacrifices and supplies. These people came from Hope City, but they actually worked for the ghosts.

“You are lucky to be the first batch here.” The boy stood up. “When I become Ghost Mother, I’ll satisfy every one of your wishes.” The new arrivals were confused. They were called into the room, and Brother Chou assigned them missions. The tactical team from Hope City was different from the center. The battle power was focused on a few departments. To preserve their power, they almost never leave the city. Other than them, the most powerful force was these criminals. Their twisted personas gave them immense power.

“11 people. Everyone has awakened at least twice. This is everyone I can mobilize.” The man with the club tattoo was worried. “But it’s still not enough to deal with a Pure Hatred.”

“It’s enough. Ghost Mother is cursed by God now. She needs time to recover. Plus, we don’t need to kill her. I only need you to protect me when I use my power on her.” Brother Chou said darkly, “Even though Ghost Mother is a ghost, she has saved plenty of living humans. She gave them black robes and had them live in Sky Garden.” “What does that have to do with us?”

“The things inside Sky Garden are all related to Ghost Mother. You need to detain those people and use them to threaten her.” Brother Chou looked at the building. “Don’t worry. Ghost Mother is unwilling to submit to God. That’s why she’s cursed. I’m doing this to help her.” These criminals moved stuff out of the truck. They would do anything to achieve their goal.

Han Fei watched them from the dark.

“Fang Xue! Qiang Yun!” Fang Xue was another criminal. He was barechested and looked like an executioner. There was a small altar on the truck. The altar served a piece of blood that was still pounding. There were two survivors at the corner of the truck. Their limbs were tied. Pipes pierced into their body. Brother Chou used living humans as blood reservoirs. They would commit live sacrifice before every mission to improve their power. As fresh blood was injected, the meat grew larger. Its red light shone on the people around it.

“Qiang Yun, you’ll stay to protect the altar. Lao Gou will bring the newbies to capture the things we can use to threaten Ghost Mother. The rest comes with me.” These criminals were crazy but organized. After most of them left, Han Fei silently walked out. “Under the influence of the altar, they are stronger.”

The killer was as powerful as Ma Jing. Some of them, like Brother Chou and the man with the club tattoo, were even stronger. “Have they mobilized all their forces in Zone A?” Han Fei was no match for the whole group, but they were still too weak to deal with Ghost Mother.

“11 criminals with crazy personas. Sacrificing them should turn Wu Chang into a Large Lingering Spirit.” Han Fei released Du Niao and had it monitor Brother Chou. He sneaked into the black truck. “Their religion is Gao Xing. The meat should be part of the flesh figurine.” When the ghost territory was triggered, Han Fei made his move. The coin flipped, and the giant axe swung at Qiang Yun!

Qiang Yun accepted death without knowing what had happened.

“Stop struggling.” Han Fei triggered the powers of the other ghosts. Illness Core worked together with Envy to corrupt Qiang Yun. Qiang Yun couldn’t resist for more than three seconds.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m Gao Cheng, the leader of Team 13 from the Tragedy Investigation Center. I’m here to save you.” Han Fei wanted to help the two survivors. He tried to pull the vessels off them, but they shook their heads.

“Once you cut off the connections, the altar will react, and those people will know something has happened here.” The man in the black uniform said weakly. “We’re both police from Hope City. Leave us and report the things here immediately! Those mad people have infiltrated into the higher hierarchy of Hope City!’

“It’s okay. I’ll bring you back alive so you can pinpoint these criminals yourself.” Han Fei had Wu Chang consume Qiang Yun. Du Niao sent back a message. The criminals had started to attack Ghost Mother. “They are brave.” The greed abyss floated out behind Han Fei and consumed the altar. Under his control, all the ghosts ate the meat on the altar. Blood splattered everywhere. A horrifying presence appeared from the altar. It disappeared after it targeted the Executioner. “It’s just an altar. The two of you find a place to hide first. I’ll be back.” Han Fei walked to Sky Garden.

“What about you?” The man shouted nervously at Han Fei. “What do you plan to do?”

“The center is never afraid of evil. I’m going to kill all of them.” Han Fei stood among the ghosts. Behind him was the abyss.
