My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 201: 201

Han Fei heeded Li Xue’s lesson, when running into criminals and a fight was inevitable, then one had to incapacitate the other as fast as possible. That was exactly what Han Fei did but to his surprise, the other party was equally as fast. This was not a petty thief. Seeing as the man took out a knife-like object to stab Huang Yin, Han Fei reached to grab Huang Yin and yank him to the side. The man in black predicted that. He knew that Han Fei would definitely step in if he made Huang Yin the primary target.

Similarly, Han Fei understood the same philosophy as well. He knew he could not escape with Huang Yin who was too weak, therefore, to truly neutralize this danger, the only possible solution was to deal with the threat head on. Both parties had seen through each other. They both made their move, aiming to have the first strike.

The man in black was armed with a knife of indeterminate material. With a dangerous glint in his eyes, he pounced. However, to his shock, Han Fei’s fighting capability, determination and dexterity was on par with him. This thin-looking man was far more dangerous than he appeared.

Compared to the man, Han Fei did not consider that much. He had fought with way too many opponents who were much more ruthless and relentless than the man in black. With the training from the Iyashikei game, Han Fei’s actual fighting experience was not comparable to a normal citizen. His muscle tensed and his body arched like a bow before firing. The space around the front door was small. There was no choice but to have hand to hand combat. The two men were quick and ferocious. Their fight was completely from those fight scenes shown on television. When each had the chance, they would go for the kill. One strike to topple the opponent and give them no chance.

Even though the man in black was armed with a knife, Han Fei did not shrink from fear, in fact, he was much too brazen for someone in his state. After deftly evading the stabs and slashes, he used his knee to knock into the man’s stomach and then tried to bring his elbow down on the man’s head. If either of these attacks connected, the man in black would be disorientated and gave Han Fei the opening to deliver a final blow. Han Fei was fighting like a man with no other option. His goal was direct and simple, to incapacitate the other party.

After he missed, the man in black moved backwards, voluntarily stepping away from Han Fei. Staring into Han Fei’s bloodshot eyes, the man’s own gaze chilled. He could not tell what Han Fei’s background was. Compared to himself, Han Fei’s action was more like someone on the run from the police. His original plan was ruined, before the man could figure out his next step, Han Fei already made his move.

Han Fei picked up Huang Yin from the ground and dragged him out the front door. Han Fei wanted to escape with Huang Yin and then closed the door to lock the man in black inside Huang Yin’s house!

After surviving for so long in the cryptic world, Han Fei’s brain turned very fast. When the enemy realized his Plan A, Han Fei was already onto Plan B.

To be fair though, things were not that positive for Han Fei. He was under a great lot of pressure. He just died more than 10 times in the manager mission, he had not rested since he exited the game and now he had to get into a life or death combat with an unknown enemy. His stamina and physique was at their limits, Han Fei was running on pure determination. Therefore, when he saw the man in black took a step back, Han Fei immediately grabbed Huang Yin and made to retreat.

The man in black was caught by surprise. He picked up the black box and charged for the front door. Han Fei was tired and he had to carry Huang Yin with him. When he exited the front door, the man in black was close behind him. But out in the corridor, Han Fei had another plan of his own. He shouted at the top of his lungs, waking up Huang Yin’s neighbours. While he cried for help, he entangled with the man in the black so that the man could not escape that easily.

The man in black had to admit his unluckiness to have run into someone like Han Fei. He knew that even if he gave it his all, he could not take down Han Fei quickly. As time moved on, the paint on the man’s face started to peel. He knew time was up. He extricated himself from the battle and blasted through the safety door.

With his legs shaking, Han Fei did not give blind chase after the man. He was afraid that there might be reinforcement from Butterfly, furthermore, the most important thing was to protect Huang Yin.

“Run while you still can, I’ve memorized every single detail about you!” His eyes shone emotionlessly. Han Fei stared at the man as he disappeared into the city. Han Fei picked up his phone to call the police and then returned to Huang Yin’s side. “Brother Huang!” Han Fei said worriedly. Huang Yin looked like he was about to pass out. With a few shakes, Huang Yin finally opened his eyes with difficulty. He grabbed Han Fei’s arm weakly and said, “Han Fei, thank you… Can, can you help me grab some clothes?”

Han Fei was slightly relieved when he saw that Huang Yin was not fatally wounded. He entered the house and grabbed a shirt and bathrobe for Huang Yin. After throwing the clothes on, Huang Yin sat on the stairs with his back leaning against the wall. He looked just like how he was when he was summoned to the cryptic world but instead of Ol’ Lee, it was Han Fei beside him now.

“Shall we go to your home and wait for the police?”

“No!” Huang Yin suddenly shook his head vehemently at Han Fei. “We mustn’t go back there, it’s too dangerous.”

“What do you mean?” Han Fei was curious. He knew that the Butterfly would come get Huang Yin but he did not expect it to be so soon. Based on Huang Yin’s condition, it appeared like he had received yet another scarring trauma.

“There’s a ghost… inside the house.”

“A ghost? You must be seeing things because of the pressure you were under.” Han Fei sighed. He remembered how he was the first day he exited the day. He seemed to recall telling the police about the presence of ghosts as well. “It’s because the game was too real, that’s all.” When Han Fei said that, his subconscious received a warning from the black box. Hearing the robotic voice that came from deep inside his mind, Han Fei only then realized how acclimatized he was to the presence of the black box in his brain. He had learned to coexist with the thing.

“It’s not the game, it’s an actual ghost.” Huang Yin told Han Fei about the videos and the ghosts. After hearing everything, Han Fei frowned. He walked into Huang Yin’s house and took a tour. Then, he sat down beside Huang Yin and said, “Brother Huang, you’ve fallen for his trick. The Witness was probably the butterfly. They used that video to place impressions and implications in your mind. It’s a psychological trick to make you believe that your house is haunted.”

“A psychological trick? You even know about things like that?” Even though Huang Yin was himself a doctor, his specialty was in andrology.
