My Iyashikei Game-Chapter 952: Alien

"There is no light here, and the staircase has no railing. If you miss a step, you might die." Bai Xian stuck close to Han Fei. The second layer was already a lot for him, much less the fourth layer. "The scariest thing about the nightmare is you'll never know when the ghost will appear."

"Don't scare yourself. Look around. There's a reason behind everything. We just need to focus on solving it." Han Fei and Bai Xain entered the building on the left. The building was filled with construction materials. Some of the iron rods pierced through the cement. If someone tripped, they might be impaled by them. Han Fei moved around the first floor and stopped. "What is that?"

On the empty space outside the left window, Han Fei saw a broken telescope. Han Fei looked up. "The telescope fell from a high spot. But why would someone bring a telescope here? What were they looking for?"

There was a pair of old children's shoes in the mound near the telescope. The strange thing was the shoes showed different stages of wear. Han Fei kept the two things and signaled Bai Xian to follow him.

"Come. Let us go upstairs."

The building had seven floors. It had no railings, and some places were unfinished, so it was not easy to climb to the top. Han Fei came to the second floor, and the atmosphere shifted. As time passed, the nightmare became scarier.

"There are children's footprints on the ground. It seems like they were hiding on this floor." Han Fei followed the trail.

"This place is so dark. How did you find the footprints?" Bai Xian had to look for a long time before spotting them.

"You haven't studied crime scene details available to the police."

"Brother, why would an actor study something like that?" Bai Xian noticed Han Fei had a scary instinct when it came to criminal stuff.

Han Fei moved the old metal pipes to the side. Three small figures curled up in the corner.

"Don't be scared. We're not bad people." Han Fei stared at the three kids. They had their schoolbags and were quite young. They were pretty and cute.

"This place is very dangerous. Why are you here?" Bai Xian relaxed when he saw the kids.

"W-we are looking for aliens." A kid in white clothes said nervously. Then, the kid in red clothes added, "The aliens are hiding in this building. If we don't find him, he will destroy the planet."

"Alien?" Bai Xian had no idea why aliens would appear in a nightmare. He felt like the three kids were playing house.

"Have you seen the alien? What does he look like?" Different from Bai Xian, Han Fei was excited. He knelt before the kids and stared at them.

"The alien has such a big head. One side of his body is tall, and the other side is short. He walks differently from us. He can't speak normally, and his reaction speed is slow. This is because the alien has just arrived on earth. He is still learning. If we don't chase him away, he'll get strong." The kid in white said seriously.

"So, you're hiding here to capture the alien?" Han Fei could guess that they were inside one of the children's nightmares, but he couldn't tell which one yet.

"Yes. We have to find it!" The kids said in unison.

"What do you plan to do after you find it?" Han Fei narrowed his eyes. "Kill it?"

The kids and Bai Xian were silent.

"Why aren't you speaking? The alien is going to destroy the world. How do you plan to stop him?" Han Fei looked at the three kids, but his smile was scary. He took out the broken telescope. "Whose item is this?"

The kids' expressions changed when they saw the telescope. They looked scared and nervous. In the end, it was the oldest kid in red who spoke, "It's mine. It fell off the building."

"You're lying." Han Fei said without hesitation. "I'll ask again. Whose telescope is this?"

"The nightmare will worsen as time passes. We should hurry to find the alien. Even though I have no idea if an alien exists or not but this nightmare is definitely related to one." The kids didn't speak. It was Bai Xian who tried to smooth things over. "Where was the last place you saw the alien?"

"The roof on the seventh floor. The alien was calling his friends. They want to invade Earth." The kid in white was scared. Then, the building shook. "If we don't find him, we'll be teleported to another planet?"

"A timed quest?" Bai Xian was reminded of the cooking time limit at the reunion dinner. This nightmare was even crueler. If they didn't find the alien within the limited time, the buildings would collapse. The children might view death as going to another world. With the kids leading the way, Han Fei's group took around ten minutes to head to the seventh floor.

The left building had a rooftop that was about six meters wide. There were no railings on three sides. The rooftop was basically hanging in the air.

"The alien called his friends there." The kid in red pointed at the roof, but he didn't dare to go any closer.

Han Fei climbed over the trash. He stepped on the rooftop with his left foot. The floor wasn't that stable. It could barely withstand the weight of two adults. Han Fei looked around. The rooftop extended out of the building. This place was closest to the night sky, but there were no stars at all. Han Fei adjusted his body. He was about to move further when he heard a very soft footstep. He turned around and noticed the three kids had moved several steps forward.

"Are you three... planning to push me down?" Han Fei joked.

The kids shook their heads. Bai Xian moved to stand between the kids and Han Fei.

Han Fei moved along the rooftop. He noticed something on a pipe at the edge of the roof. There was a rope there that one could tie the telescope to.

"The rope is here, but the telescope was on the ground. The owner was once at this dangerous spot?" Han Fei looked down. There was no protective measure. A single push and one would fall to one's death. "The kids said the alien tried to summon his friends here. This alien is probably the owner of the telescope. I believe the alien has already been killed by the kids!" The building shook again. Han Fei was startled. He immediately ran back to safety. "Come on. Let's check out the other building."

"But we haven't finished checking this building. The alien could be hiding here." The kid in red said. His gaze was different from a normal kid's. There was no innocence in them.

"We looked around when we went up the stairs. There is no living human here other than us." Han Fei said lightly. The kids didn't know that Han Fei was a master at hide and seek.

Han Fei and Bai Xian maintained a distance from the kids. When they came to the third floor, they heard a scream from the right building. One of the members from Absolute Truth was injured.

"Don't panic. We have to maintain our composure." Han Fei said. They took another ten minutes before they returned to the entrance of the construction site. The two unfinished buildings appeared to sway in the wind. The nightmare was quite small. If the two buildings collapsed, the players would be buried alive.

They walked to the right building. Han Fei saw two players carry an injured player out. Behind them were three children.

"I heard a scream. Were you attacked?" Bai Xian still hoped that they could work together. He noticed that all three members of Absolute Truth had been injured. One had a wooden sword stuck in his arm; one had their feet pierced through by nails; the injured player fell from a high spot and broke his spine. He couldn't feel his lower body anymore.

"You two are perfectly fine?!" Internet Addict was shocked. "There are dangers everywhere inside the building. Did you even enter the building?"

"We just came down from the seventh floor." Bai Xian was confused too. He was very safe when he was around Han Fei.

"My eyes are used to the darkness. We avoided all the traps." Han Fei looked at Internet Addict's left arm. He was carrying a tattered school bag. "Why don't we exchange clues?"

"Okay." Internet Addict placed the bag on the ground and held the knife in his hand. "We met these three kids in the building. They said there was an alien hiding at the construction site. We have to find the alien before we can leave, or else the alien will destroy Earth. Then, they gave me this knife. Apparently, it can be used to kill the alien. We searched the whole building but couldn't find the alien. Therefore, I suspect the alien is at your building."

Han Fei shook his head. He picked up the schoolbag.

There was a low-quality plastic water bottle stuffed inside the muddy schoolbag. The textbooks inside were torn. They were torn in a fight. The owner of the schoolbag was young. The homework was done. The owner was a very hardworking student, but he was not gifted. They got half of the questions wrong.

Han Fei took out the bottle. "His family is quite poor. This is the cheapest plastic bottle on the market. The school bag has been patched up many times too."

Han Fei pulled open the zipper. He found two medicine bottles in the compartment. Since the packaging was torn, he couldn't tell what kind of medicine they were. However, one thing was certain. The owner was sick and needed medication. Han Fei flipped over the textbook. He saw the name of the owner, Lee Xing.

"Which one of you is Lee Xing?" Han Fei turned to the six kids.

"He should be one of yours. I've asked the three kids on my side. None of them is called Lee Xing." Internet Addict pointed at the three kids behind Bai Xian.

"Which one of you is called Lee Xing?" Han Fei's tone was normal, but even Bai Xian shivered.

"If none of you admits to this, then it means there is a seventh kid here. His bag is covered in mud, and his books are all torn. His disappearance should be related to you." Han Fei said.

"My name is Lee Xing." The kid in red stood up. He was the oldest. When the other kids were nervous, he was the most collected.

"Really?" Han Fei took out the textbook. He asked a few random questions. The kid answered all of them correctly. The kid was very smart. However, Han Fei could tell very easily that the kid wasn't Lee Xing. "Lee Xing got half of the questions wrong, but you got everything right. If Lee Xing is as smart as you, he probably won't be bullied." Han Fei picked the kid up with one hand.

"Calm down! We need these kids to find the alien!" The player from Absolute Truth wanted to stop Han Fei. "If we don't find the alien, we'll all die."

"Do you really think there's an alien here?" Han Fei grabbed the kid's neck. "I've heard the kids describe the alien. The alien had a distorted body, with one shoulder taller than the other. He limped and was a bit silly. Doesn't that match Lee Xing perfectly? I believe Lee Xing is mentally gifted due to some illness. Therefore, the kids don't see him as a normal person. They tricked him and saw him as an alien."

Han Fei placed the shoes beside the bag. "The left shoe is more worn than the right. This proves that the owner applies more pressure on his left foot when walking. If the shoes and telescope belong to Lee Xing, then everything makes sense." His eyes turned cold. "Lee Xing was the alien who was forced to the seventh-floor rooftop. These six kids killed him because it was fun. I could imagine it. Lee Xing was bullied by them and ran into the right building. Lee Xing was chased. They forced Lee Xing to the rooftop. They forced the alien to summon his friends. In the end, Lee Xing fell. The alien returned to his planet." Han Fei tightened his grip. "When we were in the left building, I knew something was wrong. There were many traps in the building. These kids are not innocent. They've been trying to kill us."

Bai Xian froze. He thought the building was safe. He had no idea Han Fei had disarmed all the traps.

"The evil alien for these kids is just an innocent victim. They use the most basic excuse to justify their sins." Han Fei stared at the kid in red. "Evil covers all ages."

The buildings trembled. Even the ground shook.

"Then, how can we find Lee Xing?" Internet Addict asked. "You found the kid's shoes on the mound. Could the kids have buried Lee Xing there?"

The three Absolute Truth players and Bai Xian ran to the mound. They dug quickly but only found some bloody clothes.

"The key to clearing the nightmare is to find the alien. The alien is a horrible nickname given to Lee Xing by these kids. Therefore, the alien originates from these kids. The real evil in their hearts." Han Fei picked up the knife and pierced the kid's heart.

The blade sliced open the skin, but the wound didn't bleed. The kid in red's rotten chest hid another kid's body parts.
