My Iyashikei Game

The fetus hadn’t met such a troublesome competition before. Han Fei was the first to want to eat it. Han Fei was like a connoisseur who wanted to feast on dangerous food. Ghosts eat humans and humans eat ghosts, and it was an endless cycle. Civilization had put a veil over it, but Han Fei placed the bloody truth before everyone.

“Ambitions need to keep on feasting to be satisfied. The power consumed will bring mental corruption until the person died from expanding desire.” Han Fei knew the risks, but he couldn’t stop anymore. When the beast of greed was released, there was no chance to rein it back. “Eat it!”

God’s eyes and the fetus fought for control of the rules. Han Fei and all the ghosts pounced at the monster in the blood lake. This was a huge gamble. Han Fei bet everything he gained since he entered the memory world. He wanted to take over Gao Xing so that Gao Cheng could bloom!

Black water flowed into the blood lake. The fleshy walls of the meat underworld collapsed. The monsters that came out of the walls scurried everywhere. The fetus finally began to panic. The absorption from the fleshy ghost territory was not enough for its rebirth. To prevent itself from being eaten by Han Fei, it started to burn its own flesh. Red flames lit on the giant body. The flame was stronger and gorier than the black flame. It was a new variation. The flesh, blood, and skin were used as fuel!

Gao Xing’s face appeared in flames. The thing that attracted Han Fei’s attention the most was his eyes. They were unimaginably beautiful. They carried evil.

“Could these be the eyes of actual Gao Xing?”

Among the flaming flesh, Gao Xing’s body slowly stood up. The blinding fire burned the skin. The fetus didn’t grow normally, but the presence it radiated was already stronger than a normal Pure Hatred.

“It looks like some bugs have mixed into my altar.” A calm voice came from Gao Xing’s lips. He didn’t use his power, but the single sentence was enough to scare Han Fei and Gao Cheng.

“Gao Xing is still in reality, helping Dream to open the channel between the cryptic world and the real world. He wouldn’t be here.” Unmentionable had to pay a heavy price to leave the cryptic world. Han Fei knew that from the theme park channel. Back then, he wanted to send his neighbors back to they could see their families. However, leaving the cryptic world meant possible death for the ghosts.

Other than Dream and Butterfly, who had special powers that allowed them to control dreams and humanity, the other ghosts would have a hard time leaving. Gao Xing had entered the real world to complete the tasks given to him by Dream. The chance of him returning to the altar before the mission was completed was low.

“Gao Cheng, with your power, you can’t possibly reach this state. Let me see who is hiding inside you!” Gao Xing’s body was connected with the whole ghost territory. Blood capillaries crawled out of the walls. They slithered towards Han Fei.

“Is it really him? But Gao Xing in my memory isn’t so weak.” Han Fei took out Rest in Peace. The paper doll protected Han Fei while he summoned the Executioner. The greed persona could entrap not only ghosts but also utilize their powers. The Executioner howled. Its giant body shrunk. The sins it obtained flowed into Han Fei’s body.

“In the past, Rest in Peace could already slay Pure Hatred. Now, it should have no issue slaying a False God!”

After eight awakenings, Han Fei’s physique was stronger than Fu Lie's. He cut away the capillaries easily. With God watching, he charged forward.

“You intent to kill me in my altar?” Gao Xing smiled. His pretty eyes stared at Han Fei’s face as if he was trying to see the soul hidden underneath Gao Cheng’s skin.

Surrounded by four Pure Hatreds, human names appeared on fleshy Gao Xing’s skin. The people he killed became part of him. These people were tricked, and their powers were used by the person they hated the most. Gao Xing loved this feeling. Real despair was realizing one’s hard work was being used by the person one hated. Endless names represented Gao Xing’s murderous present. Fleshy Gao Xing was the most similar to the actual Gao Xing. Their personalities were very similar. They looked down on human lives. After the names appeared, Gao Xing’s expression turned crazy. Giant bone spikes pierced through the skin. He could freely alter his body to become different weapons to create death and tragedy. Green pus surfaced on parts of his flesh. Pestilence was one of his attacks too.

“To gain permanence, one has to vanquish illness. How do you plan to kill someone that can’t be killed?”

Gao Xing’s body was ugly. He was an unborn fetus. Of his body, only his perfect eyes were human.

“You’re another extreme of the Butterfly.” They were monsters cultivated by Dream, but they had opposite power. Gao Xing couldn’t care less about appearance.

“Do you think I’m ugly? Humans are uglier when they try to pursue immortality.” The fleshy Gao Xing fought with the four Pure Hatreds as God’s eyes stared him down. This was a battle to the death. “You want to consume my blood and flesh? Gao Cheng, you’re always a thief. No one will like you. Like your biological parents, you deserve to die!”

The sea of flowers churned. Some new fresh flowers bloomed in the night. Green toxins flowed out of their roots. That was soul poison specifically targeting one’s mind. Venomous rain fell. The fleshy monsters were not affected. Han Fei’s ghosts screamed. However, Han Fei was immune to the poison.

“The body made by Immortal Pharma has been born prematurely, but it can still be used.” More wounds appeared on Gao Xing’s body, but he didn’t sound afraid at all. Soon, the roots surged toward Gao Xing. Longevity in Han Fei’s world of sins started to pound as it tried to escape.

“Teacher Gao, you need to stop him!” Ah Nian’s nervous voice came from the black band. “There are four Pure Hatreds at the Old Folk’s Home! Longevity is the heart that collects life; Natural Lifespan is my teacher who manipulates the consciousness; the fetus is the undead! Once the three of them consume each other, they will become Immortal! It’s a humanmade God! It’ll never die!”

Han Fei didn’t believe there would be a flawless God, but he still tried his best to stop Gao Xing. If he couldn’t win a singular Pure Hatred, he couldn’t do much when they were united. Even though Han Fei knew that the meat was poisoned, he had to continue feasting. It was the only way. The red flesh and black abyss mixed together. Gao Xing’s broken body became nutrients for the world of sins. On the surface, Han Fei looked like he had the upper hand, but Gao Xing’s calmness made Han Fei nervous.

Fear Demon and Mr. Evil Soul ambushed Gao Xing. They tore down a large part of Gao Xing’s body. As the flesh melted into the greed abyss, Gao Xing’s face suddenly grinned darkly.

“My meat is not so easily consumed.”

The fleshy Gao Xing united with the elder. All the names on its body turned into human faces. “I don’t care if you’re Gao Cheng or someone else. Since you’ve taken something from me, you’ll stay here forever and become a part of me.”

The flesh inside the abyss stopped uniting. Faces of the victims appeared on the meat pieces. They struggled intensely as they tried to destroy Han Fei’s world of sins. The blood water was injected with poison Han Fei hadn’t seen before. Han Fei’s mental world started to collapse. Many ghosts he consumed were dying. Gao Cheng’s greed persona was losing its effect! It couldn’t consume anymore!

“As punishment for disturbing me, you’ll give me your body.” Gao Xing’s eyes were dark. “Mother has given you too much love. It looks like I’ll never be able to be an obedient child. Even if she never forgives me, I’ll have to kill you.”

Blood water flowed out of the blood lake. Blood capillaries crawled out of Gao Xing’s wounds. They climbed into Han Fei’s world of sins and moved toward his brain.

“You can’t escape anymore. The person helping you seems to have forgotten one thing. I was the one who gave you the greed persona. How do you expect me to be killed by my own weapon?”

The shrill laughter echoed. In Gao Xing’s plan, Gao Cheng would be consumed by his own ambitions due to his obsession with revenge. However, he didn’t anticipate Han Fei would have the healing persona.

Gao Xing was confident that he could destroy Gao Cheng. However, the next second, the healing starlight and many personas glowed over the abyss to stabilize Han Fei’s crumbling mental world.

“What persona is this?” The power that didn’t belong to his altar world shocked Gao Xing. The venom in his eyes turned into anger. “This feels like… that person.”contemporary romance

Actually, the healing persona alone wouldn’t be strong enough, but Han Fei was very lucky. Back at Third Mental Hospital, he had taken away all the personas the director had collected over the decades. After he healed them, they floated above the abyss like stars. Compared to the false God, they were individually very small, but when they united together, they would form a terrifying force too.

“Gao Cheng!” Gao Xing’s roar echoed underground. He manipulated the roots to try to kill Han Fei but was stopped by several Pure Hatreds. They reached a standstill. Han Fei’s mind could collapse at any moment. The situation was very bad for Han Fei, but both of them had forgotten about one person, Ah Nian.

The man had seven awakenings. He was the strongest after the Pure Hatreds. He was also extremely familiar with the Old Folk’s Home. While everyone else was distracted, he found the weakest point at the sea of flowers. It was the place where the humanity of Pure Hatreds was trapped. The humanity belonged not only to the Pure Hatreds trapped inside the altar but also those outside the altar as well!

Gao Xing had killed many to build this altar. He trapped many valuable souls inside the sea of flowers to be his source of power. The sea of flowers was a unique place. These flowers were normally hidden very deep. They couldn’t be found unless the Pure Hatreds guarding this place were otherwise distracted.

The river of memory flowed through the blooming flowers. Ah Nian plucked the rare flowers and yanked their roots off the ground. Souls appeared beside Ah Nian. He didn’t stop. This was a rare chance. He didn’t want to give it up.

He agreed to help Han Fei because he wanted to see if his children were there or not. For that hope in his heart, he charged into the sea of flowers. Even if he had to exhaust the different versions of himself in different timelines, he worked his way deeper. Time slowed down. Ah Nian ignored the other flowers to find his own children. When he tore off the last root, he paused. His eyes glowed with disappointment and relief. He found the flowers Han Fei needed but not his children’s souls. Ah Nian arrived at the center of the sea of flowers. There were three flowers blooming here.

The largest flower was warm and pretty. Its fragrance was kind and blissful. She opened her leaves to protect the two flowers underneath her.

On the left of this flower was a wilted rose. She possessed a sickly beauty.

The small flower on the right hadn’t even bloomed. The bud hidden under the roots looked more like wild grass.

Ah Nian didn’t hesitate and pulled up all three flowers.

At the same time, Gao Xing’s pupils shuddered. He turned to look at the sea of flowers. His ‘beloved’ had just been stolen!

The pressure on Han Fei lessened. He just took a breath when he heard a familiar voice in his heart. “Now is the time to kill him. What are you waiting for?”

“No. 2?”

Han Fei didn’t expect to hear him. This living Unmentionable appeared to be watching Han Fei. Before Han Fei could do anything, a paper plane drenched with blood fell out of Han Fei’s pocket. It flew along fate’s trail toward Gao Xing. No one would pay attention to something so small until the paper plane fell into the wound near Gao Xing’s heart.

“The future you see does not exist. I’ve seen your ending at the end of my fate.”

No. 2’s brain fragment Han Fei acquired at Third Mental hospital was sacrificed. The presence of an Unmentionable enveloped his brain. No. 2 appeared to have calculated everything. Every moment was intertwined.

While Gao Xing was distracted, the greed abyss started to change. It suddenly expanded to consume the fleshy Gao Xing and the underground blood lake. No. 2 used his power to help Han Fei eat one of Gao Xing’s souls. However, because of that, this meant that the actual Gao Xing would know that something serious had happened inside his altar.

“Beloved is one of his most important creations. You’ve crossed his bottom line. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if I hold back or not. The actual Gao Xing will soon return. You probably won’t have time to stop me from sacrificing Hope City now.” No. 2 didn’t give Han Fei any time to speak. “Take the present I give you. Hopefully, you can use the Old God’s body to pave the road for the new God.”
