Chapter 88

Han Fei found Ying Yue. She looked about the same age as him, both very pitiful children.

"Can you hear my voice?"

Holding the broken girl, Han Fei's sympathy overcame his fear, and he spoke out everything he wanted to say.

After learning about the girl's past, Han Fei felt even more determined not to give up here. He wanted to avenge this child.

The coldness from the landlord's ring was almost freezing his fingers, but Han Fei did not let go. He felt that this child, after her parents' accidental death, might never have been truly embraced again.

"You don't need to believe me now. I will prove everything through my actions."

Despite being watched by the bleeding eyes in the room, Han Fei remained unperturbed. Those eyes could not tell if he was lying.

For Han Fei, those gazes were irrelevant. He only needed to protect the child in front of him.

He whispered comforting words, patiently speaking. Under the gaze of those eyes, the broken girl in Han Fei's arms suddenly reacted.

Her bones began to twist and deform. Though she was a living person, she transformed into something monstrous.

"Why is this happening?"

The girl's resentment and pain made her hover on the edge of losing her mind, but Han Fei did not let go.

Sharp bone fragments pierced through Han Fei's wrist, and the girl's face became increasingly terrifying.

Black veins appeared on the girl's body, and her lips began to tremble. Just as she was about to lose her mind, a voice suddenly came from her body.

"That was my birthday gift."

"Birthday gift?"

"You took everything away. Can you at least leave me the last gift my parents gave me?"

"Ying Yue, what was the last gift your parents gave you?" Han Fei decided to follow Ying Yue's words, hoping to gain some insight.

"That was my, my..." Ying Yue's facial expression became more grotesque. Black veins connected her broken body, and with the sound of her heart beating, Ying Yue suddenly opened her eyes!

Two pitch-black holes stared at Han Fei. The only place in the room without eyes was Ying Yue's eye sockets.

"Mine! Mine!"

Her deformed hand bones, like chains, embedded into Han Fei's body. The sound of her neck cracking, her head faced Han Fei, and she emitted a hysterical voice.

Ying Yue lost her mind. Her black holes of eyes drew closer to Han Fei, as if trying to suck his soul into her empty eyes!

"Ying Yue! If I die, I won't be able to avenge you! I won't be able to bring the real culprits to you!" Han Fei shouted, but the now completely hatred- and resentment-dominated Ying Yue had turned into a black shadow. Her eye sockets seemed to contain a prison for souls.

The room was filled with cries, and blood tears flowed from the red eyes. If Han Fei did not leave, his eyes might also end up on the wall.

"I really want to help you, girl..." Han Fei knew he couldn't stay any longer. He looked at the approaching eye sockets and smiled gently.

His free hand landed on the girl's head, and he gently rubbed her head.

As his consciousness felt a tearing sensation, Han Fei clicked the exit button and left the game.

A sea of blood flooded his consciousness. Han Fei removed the game helmet, but his heart remained unsettled.

He couldn't imagine the terrifying things Ying Yue had experienced, turning a girl into a monster that no one could trust.

Ignoring his fatigue, Han Fei opened his computer to search for information about Ying Yue. He hoped to find the case, but he only found a missing person notice.

"Seven years old, wearing a red dress, cute and sweet, but suffering from eye disease, missing on North Street in the old district..."

The missing person notice was from many years ago. Because the person was never found, the responsible website kept Ying Yue's information posted.

"The person who posted the notice is Ying Qingmei, Ying Yue's father's sister..."

Looking at the computer screen, Han Fei's expression was frightening: "She seems to be doing well?"

Han Fei wanted to drag the person into the deep world of "Perfect Life" and let Ying Yue take revenge, but he didn't know how to do it.

After much thought, Han Fei decided to let the law punish those scumbags.

He roughly calculated the time of the crime, organized key information such as the stuffed animal body disposal and Ying Yue's last birthday gift, and anonymously provided the clues to the police.

"For a case without a reward, it's better to be low-key."

After confirming that the police had opened the email, Han Fei lay down and fell asleep.

But he was soon woken by the alarm, as he had to go to the film set.

"Fortunately, my physical strength is much stronger than before, or I wouldn't be able to handle it."

Han Fei arrived at the set and immediately entered his work state. He easily mastered the extremely complex character, and the shooting went smoothly. The crew and Director Jiang looked at him as if he were a monster.

Such an excellent performance by Han Fei also put pressure on the other actors. If they always had to reshoot due to their own mistakes, it would be very uncomfortable.

Han Fei's acting, honed in the face of life and death, impressed Zhan Lele and Jin Nian. The same character, when performed by Han Fei, felt particularly real, as if he had experienced the same despair and madness as Meng Changxi.

The morning passed quickly. Jin Nian and Zhan Lele wanted to discuss the character with Han Fei but found him holding a box lunch from the set and talking on the phone.

"Li Xue, isn't your Happiness Street Police Station responsible for North Street in the old district? Did you receive any murder cases this morning..."

"Stuffed animal body disposal case? Wait, how do you know? Did you organize the clues?"

"Don't make a fuss, don't tell anyone else." Han Fei lowered his voice: "I mainly want to ask about your investigation results and also want to ask you to find out something."

"Ying Qingmei's daughter has a mental illness. When the police went this morning, they found the problem without much effort. Now the mother and daughter are under control, but Ying Qingmei's husband fled after receiving the news." After Li Xue finished the investigation results, she was puzzled: "The case isn't complicated. What else do you want me to investigate?"

"What was the last birthday gift Ying Yue's parents gave her?"

"I'm not sure about the last birthday gift, but I know that before Ying Yue's parents died, they did leave a special gift for the child... At the time, Ying Yue's mother was very ill, and her body was very weak. She signed a document with the hospital, stating that after her death, she would leave her corneas and any usable organs to Ying Yue."
