My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 998: Thank You

The colors of the world were taken away by Dream. The colorful wings appeared to have no end. This was the real Dream. Standing at the top of the skyscraper alone, Han Fei felt immense pressure.

The Pure Hatred called Butterfly was an impossibly beautiful person, and the ghost called Dream was a butterfly. The wings made from human faces flapped lightly. Dream dust covered everything.

The aging Han Fei backed away and leaned on the altar. He was too weak compared to Dream. Dream was imposing without using its power. All the Unmentionables stopped moving. Even the sky felt like it was going to fall. "How can there be such a scary ghost?"

Dream's eleven altars projected into the surface world, and his consciousness was held back by No. 2. The nightmare was taken down, but even so, Dream was still so powerful. It had overwhelming power and had control of endless criminals in real life. The black mist was blown away by the wings. The mist was to cover its existence. After it confirmed its target, it struck immediately.

The dreams in the sky turned into traps. After Dream showed up, it used its entire power to kill Han Fei. Fate was twisted, and the blood sea wailed. The endless dream turned into a knife that cut through time. When Han Fei saw the beautiful blade, it had already appeared before him. Death came instantly. The blade aimed at his head, and Dream's target was the black box in Han Fei's brain!

Han Fei closed his eyes, but the pain didn't arrive. Han Fei heard a sharp sound, and then he felt the pain of hands on his shoulders. His wrinkled eyelids opened. Han Fei saw his teacher stand before him. The elder morphed into the night and shielded Han Fei. The sins on his body rapidly disappeared. The elder was so much weaker than Dream. He sacrificed to buy a few seconds for Han Fei. Until his death, he was still following his rules. His skin melted. Everywhere the blade touched started to smell. The strange dream pattern instantly crawled over the elder's skin.

The madness and power in the elder's eyes disappeared instantly. The elder wanted to turn around to tell Han Fei something, but at that moment, his soul was crushed. He turned into dust. The elder was a member of the Night Police. He didn't become a star in the sky. He became dust on the ground instead.

"Teacher..."

The person Han Fei respected the most was not Fu Sheng but this elder. His life was simple. From the moment he became a police member, he had been guarding Xin Lu. He guarded everyone behind him. He didn't really ask for much. His life wish was to capture Butterfly.

With the few seconds bought by the elder, Mad Laughter escaped from Raw and Beast. The next moment, he appeared from Gao Xing's altar. Twinflower grew at the world's tallest building and attracted the most venomous butterfly. Han Fei evaded the fatal blow, but Dream hadn't given up. It was extremely strong and cunning. It knew Han Fei was Mad Laughter's weakness.

The nightmare was extremely pretty. It was greater than any art. But the malice behind it scared even the ghosts. Dream bound together, and dream dust fluttered everywhere to form chains. Mad Laughter could evade them, but if he did, Han Fei would be crushed.

Mad Laughter shielded Han Fei, but he was pierced through by the chains. Dream had a huge body, but the scary thing was it was strongest at mind control. After the chains punctured Mad Laughter, they manipulated Mad Laughter so that his conviction shook. Normal torture was useless on Mad Laughter, but it was different for Dream. It knew Mad Laughter's weakness as it watched the gentlest kid turn into Mad Laughter.

Mad Laughter was very strong and hard to kill, so Dream had been plotting this since Mad Laughter was born. If the person were strong, one would break him down by attacking the people around him. Mad Laughter murdered all the orphans, but the orphans' souls were trapped by Dream!

Dream couldn't torture Mad Laughter, but it could torture the kids. In the beautiful dream, other than Mad Laughter and No. 2, the souls of the other children were manipulated like toys. Mad Laughter was not strong. This was something Han Fei knew after he was attacked by Dream.

Mad Laughter had never forgotten that night. He lived until now because he had been carrying the will of those children. This differentiated him the most from the other Unmentionables. He couldn't form his altar world, but it was also why he was stronger than normal Unmentionable. If not for Dream, he could eventually become the strongest ghost in the cryptic world. Mad Laughter had a healing persona, so it was impossible to kill him. That was why Dream did something like this. Dream aimed right at his weakness.

Dream didn't directly attack Mad Laughter but focused the nightmare and malice on the other children. It used the other children to influence Mad Laughter and destroy him. Mad Laughter's body trembled once he saw the other kids. He didn't bleed on the surface, but his heart was bleeding. The dream chains expanded to form a net to close around his beating heart. The ghost heart was different from the human heart. Ghost heart contained the ghost's faith and obsession. If Dream dug Mad Laughter's heart out, he would die.

Dream's wings extended to the end of the world. It not only wanted to dig Mad Laughter's heart out, but it also wanted to pump its venom into his heart. Mad Laughter was a precious shell for Dream. Mad Laughter was like a perfect toy for Mad Laughter. It wanted to corrupt Mad Laughter's soul so it could gain the power of healing.

Mad Laughter collapsed. His hands were on the ground. He struggled while still protecting Han Fei. All the dream chains pierced into Mad Laughter. Once he was still alive, Han Fei wouldn't be hurt.

The dust from Han Fei's teacher fell to the ground. Han Fei didn't even have the time to feel sad. Han Fei tightened his grip around the blade, but he couldn't fight back.

Once Dream appeared, the remaining Unmentionables moved in unison. They grabbed a dream chain and poured their power into it. They wanted to tear Mad Laughter apart. No matter how strong Mad Laughter was, he couldn't fight six Unmentionables at once.

Blood rained in the sky. Everything reverted to that night. The pain hidden deep inside his heart was triggered. With Dream's urging, the memory Mad Laughter didn't want to face appeared in his eyes. His body cracked, and a dream pattern grew on his heart. Mad Laughter was about to be torn apart. Everything turned into despair. Even after so long, he was still stuck on that night.

"The sun will never come..."

The chains tightened. All the Unmentionables looked at Mad Laughter as if preparing to sacrifice him to Dream. The black mist was gone. But at that moment, a familiar song came from an unknown corner. The abandoned ancestral hall at the edge of the black rain zone lit up. The owner of the song held a white lantern with the character Fu.

He was young and handsome. He was always sad. He looked similar to the youngest son Han Fei saw in the tomb. The hall served a nameless plaque. Two soul cigarettes were placed before the plaque. As the song became, the door opened. Eight living dead carried a black coffin out. The coffin lid was not closed tight. It was filled with wooden masks. Each mask had blood and mutated skin. The owner of the song sang the funeral song. The living dead carried the coffin. They were conducting the funeral for a person who didn't exist. The presence of an Unmentionable pierced through the remaining mist. The Unmentionables at the skyscraper noticed the coffin and the song too.

Raw and Decay immediately let go. The flesh world and the death world easily suppressed the song. The white lantern swayed in the theme park. When the singer couldn't move anymore, he turned to bow to the black coffin. The coffin lid opened, and the wooden masks fell out. Each mask had different human faces, but they had the same cruel expression. The coffin was placed on the ground. The eight knelt. They emanated the terrifying presence of death. After the last mask fell out, a charred arm reached out of the coffin to grab the mask.

The black flame burned on the arm. The burnt arm kept mutating. Normal Unmentionables could control their bodies and use their power to stop the mutation. But the Unmentionable in the coffin went the other way and applied all the mutations on himself. He lost the human shape. After he crawled out of the coffin, an extremely strange ghost came out. No one knew what had happened to him in the cryptic world. Ugliness was not enough to describe him. His body was always growing. The burnt skin fell, and new skin grew. His heart was home to endless souls. He even made masks for them.

"The carpenter?" Han Fei's eyes lit up with small hope. He recognized the souls of the Carpenter. The souls were similar to the villagers in the Graves Village. After the village was buried alive, Carpenter took away the bodies and souls. He was the carpenter of the village. All the sacrificial tools and houses were made by him. When everyone died, he turned his body into the new Grave Village. The carpenter was strong, but his strength came not from himself but from all the souls. The singer was like a child compared to the carpenter.

"It's you?" Decay recognized the Carpenter. It knew the carpenter was strong, but it was not afraid. "Dream is here. You can't save anyone. You can't even save yourself." To deal with the Carpenter, Decay, and Raw released Dream chain. Xu Qin fought with Death Baby. They were doing their best to help Mad Laughter.

"Even if we don't do anything, that poor kid will be sucked dry by Dream. The flying Butterfly has been waiting for this moment." Decay clashed with Carpenter. The Carpenter's memory world was also revealed. It was another Grave Village.

The Grave Village the Carpenter wanted was a village led by Han Fei. This was the reason he appeared to help Han Fei. Han Fei's path was similar to his. The floor cracked. Half of the theme park was ruined, but the battle was only starting.

"The annoying black mist is finally gone." A clown crawled out, holding a balloon. He flicked away the dust on his body. He wanted to land gracefully, but he was knocked down by a giant force behind him. The giant shadow appeared. The bloody writer, Spider, looked at the skyscraper with worry.

Beautiful nightmare shone on him. Beside him were nine different shadows. Each shadow radiated the power of Pure Hatred. They were all butchers.

"I know you're anxious, but calm down. Rushing in is not going to help anyone. We should do the logistics work." The clown tied the balloon to his wrist. He curled into the gap between the studies. "Look. How perfectly I can hide..." Then, the stones were kicked away. The presence of Unmentionable appeared at the theme park entrance. She was a Memory Amalgamation. Her body appeared to be carved from a diamond. She held a letter from Fu Sheng. Fu Sheng's name was gone. She saw the name disappear. Fu Yi hated everything, including Fu Sheng and herself, but she didn't hate Han Fei. Once someone mentioned her, she would feel it. Han Fei had met Fu Yi in Fu Sheng's altar world. In Fu Sheng's memory fragment, Fu Yi saw Han Fei treat that family. The past couldn't change, but she could change the future. Fu Sheng's letter turned into dust, and Fu Yi entered the theme park.

Another Unmentionable appeared. Beast and Raw wanted to stop Fu Yi but Dream had them deal with Xu Qin, the weakest link. The black mist was gone. A dangerous presence came from the horizon. The colorful sky attracted many ghosts too. Dream didn't want to wait. It used its full power to steal Mad Laughter's heart.

Dream chains tightened around the heart. Mad Laughter's consciousness fought hard. Dream was not injured, but Mad Laughter's heart began to shatter. He was too hung up on the children he killed. The night trapped him forever. There was only pain left in his laughter. He was alone in his world. It was why Han Fei appeared. Then, something unexpected happened.

The lingering consciousness of the children started to leave Mad Laughter actively. The children appeared to have come to a decision. They didn't want Mad Laughter to bear the burden anymore. They wanted to do one last thing for him.

No. 1 was the first to leave. The kid with the miracle persona touched Mad Laughter's cracked heart. He didn't say anything and cut off his ties to Mad Laughter. He used everything he had to heal the wounds in Mad Laughter's heart.

"I'm the oldest of the kids. Theoretically, I should take on the burden. Thank you for everything." No. 1 was the big brother, but he felt like he had failed. No. 1's soul in Dream's nightmare turned dull and then shattered.

"There's no need to carry on this pain. You've done nothing wrong. We'll accompany you in a different manner." The cracks on the heart slowly healed. The children from the orphanage walked out of the heart. They let go of the past. They only wanted Mad Laughter to leave.

The hollow heart started to beat. Mad Laughter's regret was rectified. The different personas used their power to heal Mad Laughter. Dream used the other kids to influence Mad Laughter, but the kids had their own plan.

The dream chains weakened. After the kids sacrificed themselves, Mad Laughter became stronger, but his altar world still hadn't appeared.

Part of Mad Laughter's soul was still incomplete. A key part was missing.

Seeing this, Dream immediately changed plans. It attacked Mad Laughter and Han Fei viciously. The nightmare shrunk. Dream's world took over part of the cryptic world. It twisted Mad Laughter's body so that the nightmare could grow inside Mad Laughter's body.

The altars at the theme park, Ziggurat, hospital, and skyscraper were corrupted by Dream. Ugly scabs appeared on the figurines, and the doors cracked. The power of other Unmentionables came from faith, but Dream could change the rules of the cryptic world. Mad Laughter felt his connection to his altars cut off. He was trapped by Dream in a shrinking cage. He couldn't protect himself. To make things worse, Dream focused its attack on Han Fei. To protect Han Fei, Mad Laughter had to take on Dream's attacks. The power of healing was rapidly depleted. The two kids were enveloped by despair.

The bloodred night filled up the nightmare. Fate handed the worst answer back to Han Fei and Mad Laughter.

"The Singer, Carpenter, and Fu Yi are stopped..." Han Fei looked at the theme park. The innocent souls from Fu Sheng's altar world were slaughtered. His neighbors were injured. Xu Qin was assaulted by two Unmentionables. Her body was on the verge of collapsing. Han Fei looked up and saw his own face on Mad Laughter. "Your soul is missing one last piece. One part of the first-generation ghost's blood flowed into my heart, so I couldn't give it to you." Han Fei released Nine Lives and all the ghosts from the tattoo. He placed his hands on Mad Laughter's altar. "For twinflowers, one flower has to wilt for the other to bloom."

Gao Xing and No. 2 hinted at this a long time ago. It was why No. 2 didn't trust Han Fei at first. Han Fei tried his best but at this stage, there was only one thing he could do.

"I have been thinking about it for a long time, but when it's here, I still feel unwilling to let go." Han Fei looked at his neighbors. The small details appeared in his mind. "It turns out I haven't forgotten those details. I was already happy then."

The cracks on Mad Laughter's heart healed, but the heart was slowly pulled out of his body. He couldn't hold on for much longer. Han Fei sunk into his mind and used his soul to grab the black box. He injected his emotions and memory into it. He sacrificed himself to open the box from both sides!

Despair and despair came from the front. The hope of all the owners held up the back of the box. Destruction and salvation almost tore Han Fei apart. He knew he couldn't sustain this, but he still chose this path.

"Rest in Peace!"

When No. 2 asked him for a favor, Han Fei had predicted this ending. The blinding light chased away the despair of the cryptic world. Han Fei snapped off his connection to Mad Laughter, his life. Only after he died would Mad Laughter's soul be complete. Only after he died would Mad Laughter inherit the black box.

The souls in the butcher's knife resisted, but Han Fei forced them to aim their sharpest side at him. "You need to kill me to save more people."

The blade cut through Han Fei's soul. As his heart slowed, Han Fei didn't feel pain. He only felt his body becoming lighter. The past was like flowers on the wall. He couldn't really recall them, but he felt warm and comforted. His consciousness disintegrated. The soul blood flowed into Mad Laughter's altar. Han Fei saw his body slowly disappear.

Blood rained down and passed through Han Fei's soul. The laughter faded away. Han Fei's Life Points dropped down to zero. Han Fei couldn't even grip Rest in Peace anymore. He had let go of everything. The blade dropped beside Mad Laughter's altar. Han Fei fell from the roof. Above him was the endless night, and below him was the endless nightmare.

"I finally understand why I'm so obsessed with becoming a comedy actor even though I have no comedy chops at all."

Han Fei looked at Mad Laughter gently. Han Fei didn't even notice he had a blissful smile on his face. "In the future, you might have to face the world alone, but I hope you'll be happy every day.

"Finally, thank you for coming to my performance, but it's time for my scene to end."
