Ryan suddenly broke down, shouting crazily:
“What fucking heart of happiness, isn’t that just a living person’s heart? I have one too!”
He didn’t dare lay hands on the ghosts, so he threw Sophie towards his own door while
she wasn’t paying attention.
One of the locks on Ryan’s door immediately turned into a big–headed monster and
swallowed the screaming Sophie in one gulp.
Skin, bones and all, eaten clean.
I didn’t even have time to stop it.
Ryan then turned his crazed gaze towards me, seemingly wanting to throw me in too,
since he needed to open two locks.
Sissy sneered, her white dress infinitely expanding into a living meat grinder, biting Ryan
in one mouthful.
In an instant, red bits of flesh were flying everywhere, blood dyeing the white dress red.
Sissy muttered to the blood and flesh raining down: “I was going to be a good child before Mommy left, but you just had to seek death.”
Then she suddenly raised her cute little face, stretched out her fair arm, and swiftly
pulled out her heart, throwing it at the second lock on my door.

“Mommy, Sissy doesn’t want to part with you either. But Sissy would rather you live vibrantly, even if that place doesn’t have Sissy, than turn into a wisp of black fog.”
Grandpa George and Grandma Rose followed suit, opening my third and fourth locks.
“Good child, if you ever meet my child someday, tell him the fire hydrant having no water wasn’t his fault.”
“Also tell my child her father was a hero who saved people, not a dirty old man.”
“Good child, don’t be jealous. You’re like the new child we’ve given birth to. Mom and Dad will love you forever.””
My tears fell drop by drop.
Blinding white light burst forth from the pitch–black iron door.
I was still severely nearsighted.
But this time, I accurately threw myself at them, hugging them tightly, crying and asking:
“Without your hearts, won’t you die?”
The Headless Big Boss held me close, his black eyes full of tenderness:
“We won’t. We’ll just lose all our memories and be thrown into some random mission to
work.
“But as long as we meet again, I’ll definitely remember you.
“Mommy, Sissy too!
“Good child, us too!”
Finally, as the clock struck midnight, four pairs of hands pushed me towards the iron door in unison.
I heard four gentle, loving voices sound at the same time:
“Take good care of yourself. Don’t be afraid. We’ll meet again next time.”
I heard the noisy mechanical voice rambling in my ear:
[Congratulations player Nina on perfectly clearing the “House of Happiness” mission. You have earned 100 points.
[Congratulations player Nina on achieving the first clearance of the “House of Happiness” mission. You have earned an additional 500 points.]
I ignored the mechanical voice, greedily looking at the blurry figures outside the light, my gaze fixed on that black shadow.
This time, I saw clearly. There were tears at the corners of his eyes as he smiled at me.
I cupped my hands around my mouth and shouted at him:
“I’ve thought of it! Your name!
“James! Ning! Jun! An!”
Across the long journey, I’ll always think of you, my love.
