58: Chapter 58: Three Key Issues 58: Chapter 58: Three Key Issues “He Shouye, who greatly detested children, later beca the director of the Welfare Ho.
His own massive investnt in adopting abandoned infants and orphans was itself an extrely abnormal and terrifying matter.
We were curious about why He Shouye would make such a decision, so to understand the process of his psychological distortion, we conducted ‘personality simulations,’ ” Li Xue ntioned on the phone, using a term Han Fei had never heard before.
“We tried hundreds of models and finally concluded that He Shouye, despite his hatred for children, chose to beco a Welfare Ho director.
This abnormal behavior was due to so kind of external stimulus.”
“Following the advice of several criminal psychology experts, we organized all the notes and relics left by He Shouye and eventually identified so issues.”
“After the death of his own child, he completely changed as a person.
His tone of speech, his preferences, his personality were all different from before.”
“He began reading extensively about the ntal world and philosophy, often locking himself in his room and occasionally going out alone in the middle of the night, as if he was searching for sothing?”
“We visited several children who grew up in the Welfare Ho.
Most of them have a very good impression of the director and are grateful for his care, but a few thought the director was strange, frequently asking them incomprehensible questions,”
“such as whether they had dread of soone standing by their bed at night, whether they saw a black box in their dreams, or whether they dread of a butterfly landing on a person’s head, and so on.”
“He Shouye seed to be looking for a special child, and after a long search without success, he wanted to create one that t his requirents.
This child was probably the eighth victim in the Human-body Puzzle case.”
“Nobody knows what his standards were?
Nor why a murdered child would et them?”
“It seed like he was performing so sort of ritual or was perhaps guided by sothing.”
“Throughout the process of his personality change, one term had notably increased in his notes: the butterfly.”
“In the latter half of his life, the butterfly represented not just a creature but sothing symbolic.”
“The sa occurred with ng Changxi.
We checked ng Changxi’s relics and so hidden information.
Before his disappearance, just like He Shouye, he was reading extensively about the human brain area and was obsessed with butterflies, continuously pursuing them.”
“In other words, there was a common thread between ng Changxi and He Shouye, the butterfly being the bridge connecting them.”
Upon hearing this, Han Fei couldn’t help but interrupt Li Xue, “ng Changxi has been missing for so long; could his belongings and the information left behind be faked?
Or could soone else purposely be framing him?”
Han Fei had t ng Shi, and he knew the real person obsessed with those books and lured by the butterfly was not ng Changxi, but ng Chang’an.
“Falsifying relics is difficult; one would first need to mimic ng Changxi’s handwriting and know all his social dia account passwords.
The most crucial point is—who would spend years setting this all up?”
“If I were the real culprit, I would do these things.
Once exposed, it would be an escape route,” Han Fei didn’t want to beat around the bush and said in a lowered voice, “Rather than ng Changxi, you guys should really pay more attention to ng Chang’an, the most harmless-looking guy, who might even dare to kill his own adoptive mother.”
As soon as Han Fei finished this sentence, he suddenly heard a noise behind him.
His reaction was swift, but even so, when he turned his head to look, he only saw a drink bottle rolling on the corner of Old Street.
“Is soone there?” Han Fei hadn’t been reading those books for nothing.
Though he showed no outward change, he spoke into the phone, “Li Xue, soone seems to be following , they might have overheard what I said.”
“Where are you now?”
“At the entrance of the filming location for ‘Flower of Evil,’ where the families of the victims from the Human-body Puzzle case are also present.”
“Don’t go ho first, head straight to North Street New Heaven and Earth Mall, there are many people there, I’ll be right there,” he said.
“Okay.”
As if nothing was amiss, Han Fei hung up the phone and did not take any transportation, leisurely making his way to the mall as usual.
The feeling of being stalked did not manifest, and Han Fei wandered around the mall for a long ti without finding Li Xue until it was almost dark when he received another call from her.
A few police officers, monitoring through surveillance caras, kept an eye on Han Fei.
Everything was normal.
Han Fei and the police did not et, and the police did not misinterpret the situation as implicating Han Fei, but instead unanimously decided to enhance his protection.
As a codian without much fa, Han Fei had never been stalked before.
This ti, he experienced the feeling that those big stars went through when being stalked and photographed, except those on their trail were paparazzi, and the one behind him could be a wanted criminal.
After buying enough food for a week at the mall and specifically purchasing several large locks, Han Fei finally returned to his rented hut.
After closing the door, Han Fei simply ate a al, then added new locks to the door and windows.
“This should be safe now.”
He placed various self-defense items he ordered online beside him, practiced the combat moves taught by Li Xue once more, then began to flip through the books he had purchased online, all of which ng Chang’an had read in his youth.
It was almost midnight when he finally rubbed his eyes and set down the book in his hands.
“Among the questions He Shouye asked the children, there are two we need to pay attention to, one is about dreaming of the Black Box, and the other is about dreaming of butterflies landing on people’s heads,” he mused.
Li Xue didn’t play gas and didn’t know about the Easter Egg regarding the Black Box in “Perfect Life,” but Han Fei was different—he had just discussed it with Huang Ying.
“Could that butterfly also be searching for the Black Box in my brain?
But the ga ‘Perfect Life’ didn’t even exist ten years ago.
Could it be that the Black Box existed first, and then the ‘Perfect Life’ ga was created?” he wondered.
“Could He Shouye and his group be targeting orphans and abandoned infants because they are looking for people capable of harboring the Black Box?” he speculated.
Looking at the gaming helt on the table, Han Fei had a piece of information he had not yet shared with Li Xue—he was also an orphan.
However, he did not grow up in the North Street Welfare Ho of Xinhu Old City District, but in a place in Old City District called the Happiness Welfare Ho.
The Welfare Ho he had been a part of had provided him with a sense of family, and its festive celebrations were always lively.
Those around him were happy and joyful; they felt like a family.
But from a certain point, everything had changed.
“I haven’t made you guys laugh yet, and I’ve already lost my own smile.
Life is indeed full of surprises and hardships,” he reflected.
After connecting various wires, Han Fei dispelled the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind.
As midnight approached, he put on the gaming helt.
Blood red descended, and the world in front of Han Fei’s eyes was instantly stained red.
