One should share blessings and sorrows, that was how it should be for friends and neighbors. It would be such a waste for him to enjoy something as exciting as watching television at 3 am at a haunted house alone. Therefore, Han Fei decided to invite his neighbors to join him.
From that day onwards, he would change his loner personality and become a kind and friendly person.
His eyes were still glued to the television but Han Fei's body started to move.
Actually, when the hand appeared behind him, Han Fei decided to take the gamble.
Compared to the sudden appearance of the ghost, the neighbor who reeked of blood outside the door was actually more acceptable.
Adjusting his posture, Han Fei's brain worked furiously. He came up with a few plans.
The 6th floor neighbor was hiding outside the door. To prevent being discovered by the peephole, the person hid in the corner.
Han Fei had a feeling that if he suddenly opened the door, based on the crazy reaction of the 6th floor neighbor, the person would not be able to tell who he was and would attack him directly.
Therefore, to divert the hatred from the ghost inside the haunted house, Han Fei had to let the ghost out first.
The plan was perfect but Han Fei realized how difficult it was to carry it out. His body was swallowed by darkness. A chill seeped into his every nerve. Even the slightest movement sent shivers down his spine.
The cold light from the television screen was distorted. On the screen, the little person struggled again and again but was caught again. No one knew who was holding it, they only knew that it could not escape.
The little person's soundless screams seemed to indicate something. It struggled futilely as it was dragged into the black house by invisible hands.
It tried its best to use the objects inside the house to fight back. It always managed to escape from the house but every time it did, a part of its body would be missing.
The damage on the little person's body worsened. It slowed down. When it escaped from the black house for the seventh time, it seemed to know its fate.
This time, it did not wait for the invisible hands to reach it. It turned around to look behind it.
The image changed and a monster made from different human bodies appeared on the television screen. It was following the little person.
The arm that was pieced together turned into black smoke. After grabbing the little person, it dragged him back into the black house.
Not long after that, the door opened and the little person with another missing part walked out.
This time, the little person did not run away. It stopped at the door of the black room in despair, looked at the dark doorway, and slowly walked in.
For the first time, the animation switched to the inside of a black room. Han Fei held his breath. He too wanted to know what was inside that nightmarish black room.
The cruel scene that he had imagined did not appear. The interior of the black room looked very normal. There was a shoe cabinet at the door, and the floor was slightly cracked. Occasionally, black and red stains could be seen on the walls. The old digital clock showed that it was 3.15 pm.
"The layout of this room …"
There was a sofa in the middle of the small living room, and the TV in front of the sofa seemed to be playing something.
The little person's heart was like dead ashes. It stopped running and sat on the sofa in despair.
The television was switched on. The man stared at the screen as if he was staring at Han Fei outside the screen.
Han Fei's heart skipped a beat. He was certain that the nightmarish black room in the anime was the room he was currently in!
The little person in the anime watched the television silently. Suddenly, a face poked out from the bedroom behind it. Then, a neck and a torso appeared. The monster that was pieced together from human bodies appeared to have grown in size.
The monster walked to the back of the sofa. It placed its hand on the little person's left shoulder and then its other hand on the little person's right shoulder.
The chill caused goosebumps to rise on Han Fei's neck. His right shoulder suddenly sank.
'Oh no!'
The little person in the anime appeared to be Han Fei himself and the monster appeared to be standing behind him.
With both of his shoulders gripped, the despair of the little person in the anime appeared to be transferred to Han Fei.
His attempts to escape were futile. His body continued to crumble, this was an unsolvable nightmare.
The little person in the anime gave up struggling. The monster behind him slowly cracked open to reveal the faces hidden inside.
The sound of skin tearing and bones dislocating echoed behind Han Fei. He was in the same situation as the little person in the anime. The only difference was that the little person in the anime had given up while Han Fei stared intently at the monster in the anime. He stared at the few human faces hidden under the monster's hideous appearance.
Before he logged into the game, he had looked up information on the human jigsaw case. He had seen all the pictures of the victims. He realized the human faces inside the monster were the victims, including Wei Youfu and his wife, Ah Mei.
His shoulders were locked in place. Han Fei was so nervous he could barely breathe. He felt a chill coming from his shoulders. A powerful force was trying to drag him away.
The body of the little person in the cartoon was torn apart. Blood seeped out of the television screen, and the already strange room changed again.
Han Fei could feel the pain coming from his shoulders. He had never been so close to death before.
His body was gripped tightly by the hands. He could not break free. The little person in the anime was dismembered. This appeared to be Han Fei's final fate.
Under the pressure of death, Han Fei made one last attempt.
"I am not surprised that you will kill me."
"But, if possible, can I hear my wife's voice one more time? She is waiting for me to come home. I promised to hold a wedding for her."
Gritting his teeth, tears welled up in his eyes. At the last moment of life and death, the man before him did not care about his own life but the promise he made to his wife.
The simple words seemed to carry some kind of power. The pale arms that were pieced together from human bodies hesitated.
"I work so hard, I always work until midnight but I don't feel tired. I know the lights are still on at home."
"I really am not afraid of death, I am afraid that she will keep waiting for me. Can you please let me say goodbye to her?"
The suppressed tears, the puffy eyes, the normal face was tinged with determination.
In the anime, the two human faces that looked like Wei Youfu and Ah Mei slowly returned to normal. They stared at Han Fei and for a moment, they seemed to see themselves.
The monster stopped where it was. The 7 human faces inside its body appeared to have split up.
Han Fei remained seated on the sofa. He did not dare to move. His eyes were glued to the television.
Han Fei said those words from Wei Youfu's perspective. Back then, no one gave Wei Youfu a chance but now the choice was in Wei Youfu's hands.
Time ticked by. The human faces inside the monster became more agitated. Just as they were about to attack Han Fei again, the honest Wei Youfu suddenly went berserk. He bit at the human face next to him.
The room seemed to shake. The pair of legs behind the television quickly disappeared. Something happened behind Han Fei.
Suppressing his curiosity, Han Fei continued to stare at the television but his hands were gripped tightly together.
Soon, half an hour had passed, and the oppressive feeling in the room gradually disappeared.
