"Brother Youfu?" The old man had no idea what Han Fei was talking about. "You're Youfu's friend? How come I've never heard him mention you before? "
"Please think about it, my name is Han Fei." Han Fei looked at the old man with such sincerity that the old man started to wonder if he had forgotten. After all, this was 10 years ago.
"Now that you mention it, I do remember Youfu did have some friends in the past but you don't look that old." The old man was unsure.
"I'm an actor, I rely on my face to make a living. Due to the role I've been playing, I've been taking care of my appearance." Han Fei quickly changed the topic. "Sir, I really want to do something for Brother Youfu."
"Youfu had too many unfulfilled wishes. He worked so hard just to give Ah Mei a home. Not long before they were killed, the child came to find me. He said he'd secretly saved up some money and wanted to hold a wedding for Ah Mei. " The old man shook his head. "There's no point in saying that now. I believe his biggest wish is to capture the killer. After all, the killer has killed the person he loved the most."
"Home, wedding, capture the killer." Han Fei memorized all these in his mind. He glanced at the old man. "Sir, I believe Brother Youfu is worried about your health. You have to stay healthy. I'll try my best to capture that psychopathic murderer!"
Then Han Fei took out his phone. "This is my communicator. If you run into any trouble, call me. I'll definitely help you if I can."
After leaving his number, Han Fei gave Li Xue a few more instructions before leaving with her.
"Hey, why did you pretend to be Wei Youfu's friend? You look like you're really going to take care of that old man. "After they left the residential area, Li Xue asked the question that had been bothering her.
"I …" Han Fei did not know how to answer. He glanced at the old apartment behind him. "I did not pretend to be Wei Youfu's friend. We will be friends."
"Such a strange man." Li Xue got on her motorcycle. When she passed Han Fei, she tossed a helmet at him. "Get on."
"What are you doing?"
"I'm sending you home."
…
Returning to his rented place, Han Fei sat in the corner furthest away from the study table and stared at the gaming helmet on the table.
The blood on the inside of the helmet had already dried up, as if a mysterious red pattern was engraved on the inner wall.
Before this, Han Fei still had some hope that this might be a prank, but what he saw and heard today made him give up the idea completely.
The game's mission system said that completing the New Player Mission will help me understand that world. Looks like I'll have to complete the New Player Mission.
Night fell. Han Fei walked to the window and glanced at the skyscrapers at the city centre.
In fact, with the rapid development of technology, even the real world felt strange to him, let alone the game world.
Times rolled on, and he, who lived in a corner of the old city, was always at a loss when faced with the countless new things that popped up every day.
Han Fei sat in front of the computer and started to search for cases from 10 years ago.
This was a matter of life and death, Han Fei was very serious. He printed out all the information released by the police and pasted them on the wall before the study table.
The originally blank wall was quickly filled with all kinds of clues and photos of the case. If someone who didn't know better saw this scene, they would probably think that he was some kind of private detective.
'There are 8 victims in the human jigsaw case. When the first 7 victims were discovered, their bodies were missing parts. The 8th victim's body was mostly pieced together. After comparing all the data, the police could not find any information about the 8th victim in the citizen database. Therefore, when they released the case, they only referred to the 8th victim as Number 8 …'
Han Fei busied himself until midnight. Finally, he had a general understanding of the case from 10 years ago. He looked at the time on the computer screen. When it was almost midnight, he grabbed the gaming helmet.
'The victims have appeared in the game. There are many mysteries but the most important thing for me now is to ensure my own survival.'
When the clock struck midnight, Han Fei connected all the wires and entered the game.
The world before his eyes was covered in red. A sense of weightlessness and dizziness assaulted him. Just as Han Fei was about to faint, a chilling voice echoed in his mind.
"Welcome to Perfect Life! Now, you can choose your own perfect life! "
Opening his eyes, Han Fei was lying on the stairs of the first floor. His surroundings were eerily quiet like there was not a single living soul in the building.
'I need to find Meng Si first!'
After his first gaming experience, Han Fei's goal this time was very clear. He needed to find a way to get some kind of mission from the old lady. After that, he would stay at the old lady's house for a full 3 hours.
After the 3 hours, he could exit the game at any time and then go explore the unknown area.
This way, even if he ran into danger, he would not have to be afraid.
In other words, the most dangerous part of the game was the first 3 hours after Han Fei logged into the game.
The rusted iron banister had some black stuff stuck to it. The dusty walls were covered in graffiti that made Han Fei feel uncomfortable. Most of the people were only part of their bodies, it looked very creepy.
Han Fei did not dare make a sound. He picked up the cleaver from the ground and tiptoed to the old lady's door.
Beside the peeling door, the black plastic bags had been cleaned up. There were only two blobs of black marks left on the ground. It appeared like the dirty things inside the bags had seeped out.
'Granny?'
Han Fei knocked lightly on the door. He did not dare to use too much force but in the quiet corridor, the knock still traveled far.
'Is no one home?'
Han Fei pressed his ear to the door. There was no sound from the old lady's house like the place had been abandoned for a long time.
'Where could they have gone so late at night?' Han Fei knocked on the door again. As the knocking continued, he noticed something was wrong.
He perked up his ears to listen. There appeared to be something moving in the quiet corridor!
The other party purposely slowed down to make as little noise as possible but Han Fei could still hear some rustling.
'The sound comes from upstairs, someone is heading my way! Did the knocking attract his attention? '
Han Fei walked to the banister and looked up through the gap in the middle of the stairs.
His neck slowly turned and Han Fei's body tensed. From the 6th floor, another face was looking at him!
Their eyes met and both of them picked up their pace!
Han Fei started to run up the stairs while the owner of the face ran down the stairs.
'4th floor! I have to get to the 4th floor! '
Han Fei knew the door was locked and he could not leave this building. Running down the stairs would only lead to his death so he had to return to his own home on the 4th floor!
'I'm on the 3rd floor, the person is on the 6th floor, I'm closer to the 4th floor! But I need time to open the door! '
