With the main mission completed, Han Fei sighed in relief but the expression on his face was still as cold as ever.
From a passerby's perspective, the first impression that Han Fei gave off was that he was dangerous. There was a creepy smile on his lips and his bloodshot eyes were devoid of any human emotion. All that was left was a hidden malice.
It was as if he was purposely luring people to attack him. Crazed, cunning, cunning, his brain was probably thinking about how to dismember ghosts, how to create more interesting human toys and how to torture lost souls.
But in reality, Han Fei's mind had nothing to do with dismembering ghosts. His heart was pounding. As he adjusted the micro expression on his face, he tried to think of a way to escape. He missed the sense of security that Xu Qin gave him. He wanted to return to the haunted house and log out of the game. Then he would order some barbecue and beer to celebrate that he had survived another day.
After using Resurrection, Han Fei's body was very weak. He forced himself to walk to the other side of the street. He was at his limit.
The blood stain on the wall faded. The ghost that could blind the five senses had gone into hiding. Other than it, there appeared to be other ghosts spying on Han Fei from the other side of the street. However, they seemed to have seen what had happened to the human-shaped blood stain so they did not make any rash moves.
'It's time to go back.'
Han Fei could log off at any time but he felt it was too dangerous to do so at a place like this. It was better to return to the Happiness Neighbourhood.
Turning around, Han Fei was about to head back when he saw Xu Qin gesturing at him frantically as if telling him to go into hiding.
Less than a second later, Han Fei realized the street had become much quieter. The scapegoats that tried to 'talk to' him earlier had all disappeared.
'10 minutes is up, something might be coming!'
A strange song came from the other side of the street. There was no one on the street. Han Fei would not make it in time to run back to the other side of the street. He might even lure the unknown thing into the Happiness Neighbourhood.
Without hesitation, Han Fei hid in the nearest shop.
After Han Fei left, Xu Qin quickly retreated as well.
The surroundings became strangely quiet, so quiet that the song that came from afar could be heard clearly.
Han Fei had no idea what the song meant, he only knew that when the song started, all the ghosts avoided it. It was as if the place had turned into an empty city.
Lying under the window, Han Fei did not dare to move. He covered his mouth lightly and did not dare to breathe too loudly.
The singing slowly approached. Han Fei had no idea what the singer was singing about. He did not dare to poke his head out to look, he just hoped that the singer would leave as soon as possible.
His fingers tightened. When the song approached, Han Fei held his breath and lifted his head to look at the window.
The song appeared to have purposely approached the junction. It was probably attracted by the cigarette that Han Fei had lit earlier because it stopped at the junction.
The haunting song echoed at the junction. Slowly, the song found Han Fei through some kind of method!
The sad song was mixed with laughter and crying. It got closer and closer to the shop. In fact, Han Fei felt like it was studying him through the window.
The landlord's ring on his finger emitted a chill. As the song crept closer, an unprecedented chill spread from his finger to his whole body.
The thing that the song represented was scarier than anything that Han Fei had encountered before!
"Pa!"
A crisp sound came from Han Fei's hand. His eyes widened as he turned to look at his left hand. There was a crack on the landlord's ring.
"This is bad!"
The song disappeared. Following the sound of the window shattering, a heart-wrenching scream came from above Han Fei's head.
Blood leaked out from both of his ears. Just the sound of the scream caused his consciousness to waver. His Life Points almost reached rock bottom.
Without hesitation, Han Fei opened the menu and pressed the exit button.
Blood descended and the world was enveloped in a sea of red. When everything froze, Han Fei's consciousness started to drift away. It was then that he saw something even scarier!
Inside the city that was frozen in blood, a pair of hands reached out as if trying to grab him!
Opening his eyes, Han Fei yanked the gaming helmet off. He was still recovering from the shock. He gasped for air in great gasps!
'What is that thing?! It can still attack me after exiting the game?! '
Han Fei did not dare to imagine what would happen if he was caught by the thing when he exited the game. Perhaps his consciousness would be trapped somewhere and he would become the thing's toy.
His back was drenched in sweat. Han Fei gripped the armrest tightly. 'I've been too careless. The past few days have been so smooth, I've let my guard down. The Happiness Neighbourhood is just the beginning. The neighbours there are all related to the previous building manager. It's not something to be proud of to survive. '
His heart raced. Han Fei could not calm down. The thing that appeared at the end of the game brought him an indescribable sense of terror.
All along, he had treated logging off as his trump card, but just now, he realized that this trump card wasn't 100% effective.
'There are things in the cryptic world that are powerful enough to defy the rules of the game?' Han Fei was reminded of the choice that the previous building manager had him make next to the black box. 'Looks like the cryptic world is not only filled with despair and pain, that world has gone completely mad.'
Just hearing the thing's voice, Han Fei's Life Points dropped to rock bottom. His consciousness started to fade. He had no idea how to deal with something like this.
'The worst and most negative aspects of human nature are all deposited in the cryptic world. It's not that strange for this place to have such extreme evil.'
Han Fei looked at the gaming helmet on the table. Then he took out his phone to look at the strange picture again. In the picture, Han Fei was lying in bed with the gaming helmet on.
'At the time, I was the only one at home. I have no idea who took the picture. Now that I think about it, could it be the work of something inside this helmet?'
Han Fei's knuckles creaked as he gripped his fists. It felt like the thing on the table was not a gaming helmet but a human head. A head that was looking at him with a pair of gentle eyes.
His body was extremely tired but Han Fei could not fall asleep.
The next time he logged on, he would still appear at the shop outside the neighbourhood. He had no idea whether the thing would leave or not.
'I'll take it one step at a time. It's already a blessing that I'm still alive.'
Han Fei consoled himself but he still could not fall asleep. Whenever he closed his eyes, the shrill scream would echo in his mind.
Sunlight filtered into the room through the curtains. Han Fei, who had not slept all night, woke up and walked into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror and tried to smile.
Anyone who saw that smile would think it was a smile filled with kindness and happiness. Han Fei was the only exception because no matter how good his acting was, he would not be able to fool himself.
After washing up, Han Fei hurried to the set to continue his high-intensity work.
In fact, he really enjoyed the state of filming, because when he was filming, he was acting as someone else, and he was also someone else. It was only at that time that he didn't have to think about his own things.
The filming of Twin Flowers was nearing its end. The first half of the movie did not change much other than the removal of Ah Cheng's scenes. The second half was basically Han Fei's solo show.
The distributor used Han Fei's current popularity to launch a large scale advertising campaign. From the feedback from the netizens, the movie would not lose money.
At a time when all the major online TV platforms were dominated by comedy, costume, romance, and other genres, "Twin Flowers", a detective thriller, quietly made its way onto the most anticipated new television series list.
After a day of filming, Han Fei left the set in a hurry. He went to have a good meal before returning home.
If the unknown thing was camping his body when he logged on, Han Fei would be dead for sure. He could only pray that the thing had already left.
After setting an alarm, Han Fei tried to take a nap.
When midnight arrived, after a moment's hesitation, he put on the gaming helmet.
The world in his eyes was dyed red. The redness was like fresh blood pouring down, drenching every corner of the world.
"Welcome to Perfect Life!"
The system notification had ended. Han Fei waited for 2 seconds before he opened his eyes.
The window was shattered and glass shards littered the ground. Before him was an empty street.
'It's gone? It's not camping my body? 'Han Fei's heart finally calmed down. He slumped down beside the window.
Opening the menu, Han Fei realized he only had 3 Life Points left and his body was in a state of extreme weakness.
'Has the thing really left? But how come it feels like this place has become so quiet? ' Han Fei's hand accidentally touched the ground. The sensation was strange. He turned to look and his pupils narrowed.
The unknown thing did not manage to find Han Fei, so it decided to destroy the 3 neighboring shops. It crushed the bodies of the ghosts inside the shops and scattered them on the ground with their curses.
At first glance, one would think the shop was covered in a thick layer of mold but it was actually a mixture of blood and flesh. The ghosts inside the shop had not completely disappeared, they could still feel pain and despair.
'Even their souls can't be destroyed?'
Han Fei took out the table knife given by Xu Qin. He used the 'human' skin cushion to wrap around the knife's hilt and gave the ghosts in the shop a quick death.
He wanted to help those ghosts out of kindness, but what he didn't expect was that after he killed those ghosts, his Experience Points actually increased a lot.
'I've dealt the finishing blow to the non-locals before but I didn't gain much EXP. Could it be that I can only gain EXP from killing the ghosts? Only when they are willing to be killed by me can I gain experience points? "
After dealing with the ghosts inside the shop, Han Fei exited the shop. He wanted to return to Happiness Neighbourhood but across the street, the old man with the brazier glared at him venomously.
'I only have 3 drops of HP left, I'll die if I'm touched.'
There were 2 ways to recover HP, one was to rest and the other was to consume food.
Han Fei thought about it and turned to look at the convenience store at the junction.
The whole street was shrouded in darkness, the only source of light was the inconspicuous convenience store.
'The convenience store is not far from my shop but the unknown monster did not destroy it. Is it because the convenience store is lucky or is there a deeper reason?'
Han Fei did not dare to move with only 3 drops of HP left. He decided to stay inside the cursed shop for now. After he recovered, he would figure out a way to return to Happiness Neighbourhood.
