My Iyashikei Game Chapter 70

Chapter 70: 70

“There is a butterfly inside ng Changshou’s brain?”

“The doctor said big brother’s brain suffered abnormal developnt and it had caused permanent damage. It was a rare situation where biological influence could lead to potentially dangerous psychosis.” ng Changxi’s every word radiated with chill. “It was at that mont that I realized the animal was not the only sick individual in our family. The big brother who had been helping and looking after was equally insane.”

“So ng Changshou is the butterfly?” Han Fei gasped.

ng Changxi was shocked when he heard Han Fei say that. “Wait, you knew about the butterfly?”

“What I know is that ng Changan has been searching for the butterfly, but I have no idea what exactly this butterfly is… Until now of course.” Han Fei paid full attention, he was going to morize everything ng Changxi said.

“No, you got it wrong. Big brother is not the butterfly, in fact, the butterfly is not even a person. However, it did manage to corrupt my younger brother through my big brother.” ng Changxi elaborated. “When ng Changan started school, his condition worsened, the treatnts he attended had no effect at all. The counselling treatnts were arranged by my big brother who by then was already working. After the hospital visit, I started to suspect this whole arrangent. Digging through so old files, I found the information about the psychiatrist big brother supposedly hired. The doctor said he had no record of treating ng Changan at all. So it turns out it was not a psychiatrist who had been treating my younger brother but sothing else.”

“Sothing else?” Han Fei noticed ng Changan used ‘sothing’ and not ‘soone’.

“Yes, I don’t know how to describe it, the thing is not like us humans.” ng Changxi peeled back his sleeves. Scars were left on his arms. They looked like a string of numbers. “I’m sure I’ve seen it before but for so reason, I cannot rember its face. To make sure I do not forget the last bit of information I have on it, I recorded everything on my body.”

Seeing the scars on ng Changxi’s arms, Han Fei’s eyes twitched, “You sure are cruel towards yourself.”

“You have to understand that before I t you, I had no other prospects.” ng Changxi pointed at his own face. “Nowadays, there are caras everywhere and they are connected to the central computer. The mont a criminal’s face appeared on cara, the law enforcent would be notified. To prevent capture, I had to do this to my own face.” Due to the layers of ghastly scars, it was hard to tell whether ng Changxi was smiling or crying, “The thing would treat my younger brother only at night. It saw the human body as a receptacle for the soul. From its perspective, the soul is a life’s true form and it is the soul which transmutes the potential life energy within the body into physical reality. This process is also known as the creation of life.”

“I have to be honest and admit that I do not understand all that. Can you give a simple description about that thing? What stands out about it? I wish to capture it to avenge my friends.” Han Fei cut to the point.

“Well, there is a tattoo of butterfly wings on that thing’s arm. I cannot rember its face but I do rember that tattoo.” Then ng Changxi revealed sothing very important. “It is searching for a box, a box that is filled with the human world’s greatest tragedy, misfortune and despair. The box is supposedly hidden deep inside one’s soul. It searched for that box in my younger brother but the box was not there.”

“A box?” At this point, Han Fei could confirm that the butterfly’s target was the black box in his own head.

“The box would only appear within those born with the greatest misfortune. The butterfly spent years seeking for it but it was to no avail so it planned to create souls which were sick enough to foster the appearance of the box.” ng Changxi removed his jacket. “10 years ago, the butterfly selected 3 candidates for this project. They were all murderers in the human jigsaw case.”

“There were 3 of them?”

“The first was the orphanage director at Northern Street, He Shouye; the second was ng Changan and the third, my big brother. At least these are the three that I know of, who knows if there are others out there.”

“Do you have actual evidence to prove that they are the killers?” Han Fei wanted to help ng Changxi but he also knew that if ng Changxi had actual evidence, he wouldn’t have to go into hiding. The room sunk into silence. After about 10 seconds, ng Changxi bit on his already broken lips. He looked at Han Fei and began slowly, “Can I trust you?”

“Of course.”

“You answered too quickly. You do not even know . I’ve killed He Shouye, I am an actual murderer.” ng Changxi’s scarred face matched perfectly with his wicked statent.

“I’ve guessed that already, which is why I hope that you’ll surrender yourself to the police after the real culprit is caught.” Han Fei had seen too many gory scenes to have a scared reaction even when he was in the sa room as a killer.

“I do not have actual proof but everything I had, I collected and stashed at an abandoned neighbourhood in the countryside. The place is called Happiness Neighbourhood. All the evidence will be inside the bathroom of Room 1044.” ng Changxi slowly moved his gaze away. “The police will soon catch up to . When ng Changan committed those murder, he already decided for to take his fall. I do not have much ti left.”

“The place you ntioned…” Han Fei was startled when he heard the address from ng Changxi. His ho in the ga was also Room 1044.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing the first genuine expression on Han Fei’s face, ng Changxi was confused.

“Nothing, I’m just surprised that you have researched into the human jigsaw case as well. According to the news I heard, the police rely received damning evidence on you for the frozen body case. If ng Changan has evidence on you for the human jigsaw case as well, why not…’

Han Fei was cut off before he finished, “ng Changan will not deign to do sothing like offer the law enforcent an anonymous tip. He was too clever to do that because interaction with the police might lead the trail back to him. Instead, he would have buried those incriminating evidence along the path of the law enforcent’s investigation. He would make it so that the police ca to their supposedly unbiased conclusion that I was the killer.”

“Then who mailed them those recordings?”

“If I have to guess, it was my big brother.” ng Changxi’s voice pained with the ntion of ng Changshou. “I have no idea what is the relationship between those corrupted by the butterfly but compared to ng Changshou, ng Changan is the butterfly’s more satisfied product. Therefore, if there is an accident, the butterfly will most likely order my brother to take the bla on ng Changan’s behalf. They always have a backup, which is why I am wary to co out with my collected evidence.”

“But what do you plan to do after handing all your hard work to ?” ng Changxi’s statents sounded too much like his last words for Han Fei’s comfort.

“There is no need for you to know that. Just rember the address I gave you.” ng Changxi’s eyes stared at Han Fei. “If I die, hand over all the things you find there to the police.”
