My Iyashikei Game Chapter 22: This Child Insists on Coming to Play

Han Fei knew the old lady’s story was modelled after her own. She was revealing to him her life story. The kinder a person, the greater the guilt they had to bear on their conscience. The guilt could progress to become an actual illness that crawled deep in one’s heart, causing ache when it was brought up. Seeing the state the old lady was in, Han Fei did not know what to say.

Human nature was so complicated. A person who lived her life in kindness might end up as an unwilling accomplice. Meng Si’s hands tightened around her chest and she ended her tale right then.

Through the conversation with Meng Si, Han Fei noticed something noteworthy. This old lady in the game did not seem to retain the knowledge that she was already dead, that was quite curious. The Frankenstein monster, formed from the victims of the human jigsaw case, carved the pain and despair during their dying moments onto their souls. It was the reason behind their loss of rationality and madness. The pain and despair overshadowed their other memories, leaving behind only the recognition that they had been cruelly murdered.

The situation with Meng Si was the complete opposite. She was kind and well-natured. She could remember details from her youth but did not seem to have any recollection of her death.

They were both from the world of the departed but Han Fei suspected this difference in them was due to the disparity in their dying state. Those who died from tortured death, those who harboured hatred and pain against the world would end up crazy and mad in the game. But people who had died due to other circumstances, like this old lady, managed to retain their human rationality after death. Perhaps at the moment of death, Meng Si did not carry much hatred, only regret and lamentation. In any case, this was just Han Fei’s speculation. The game was pretty much still an unknown to him, he would have to explore further.
