The paper doll crawled up from the ground. It was made from paper but the expression on its face was no different from a living person.
A dark presence permeated the room. With every step the paper doll took, it would turn back to look at Han Fei.
Its eyes were filled with yearning and murderous intent.
Ever since the paper doll appeared, all the girls in Room 304 had placed their attention on it.
Perhaps due to the many curses and insults she had suffered when she was alive, she hated all kinds of curses after her death.
A shocking amount of resentment mixed with the water stains. Screams and cries filled the room. Then human shaped water stains were dragged out from the wall by the girl. They gathered to form a black river.
The river was bone-chilling, there was no trace of light. It carried with it a suffocating despair!
It was filled with insults, slander and arguments. All the misfortunes that had befallen the girl in her life were channeled into the river to drown her.
The girl slowly sank into the black river. Her screams and despair were drowned out by the river. Then it washed away all the filth in the world.
The paper doll was a Grade F Cursed Object, it could resist the negative emotions in the black river. However as the river continued to rush at it, the layer of blood on its body slowly faded away.
The malice in the doll's eyes started to return. Its face that looked exactly like Xu Qin slowly peeled off and faded away.
As the doll fought with the girl, Han Fei's memory started to merge with the doll's. The cruel and eerie images that could have tortured a living person to madness appeared in Han Fei's mind.
A chill came from Han Fei's eyes. The world in Han Fei's eyes slowly turned red.
"Sir! Your eyes are bleeding! "
Zhang Guanxing screamed beside him but Han Fei did not dare to be distracted. For him, controlling a Grade F Cursed Object was still too difficult.
According to the grading system, Grade F corresponded to level 10 to 20 and the paper doll was a very rare Grade F Cursed Object.
'I have to hold on!' Gritting his teeth, Han Fei was experiencing the pain and despair that cursed objects once suffered. This was a battle of wills.
The black river raged on but the tiny paper doll was like a reef by the sea. It stood at the forefront. Other than the paling of its blood, it did not suffer much damage.
Inside Room 304, it looked like the fight was between the girl and the paper doll but in reality, it was Han Fei fighting against the paper doll's memory.
The memory of a cursed object was like a knife covered in venom to a living person. If they were not careful, they would be affected. Even their own memory and personality would be distorted.
His eyes bled and the screams of the ghosts echoed in his mind. Just as he was about to reach his limit, the mission completion chimed.
"Notification for Player 0000! You have successfully completed the Grade G Hidden Mission — Midnight Knock. Basic reward + 1 Free Skill Point obtained. Additional reward for the hidden quest — Su Mengting's diary. "
[Su Mengting's Diary: Records Su Mengting's secrets. If used properly, it can increase the First Mate's friendliness.]
"You've successfully challenged two ghost stories at the school. Grade F Hidden Mission Jin Sheng's ghost story completion rate is at two-seventh."
Hearing the voice in his head, Han Fei immediately turned around. "Guanxing! Open the door and prepare to run! I can't hold on any longer! "
Zhang Guanxing pushed the door open, but to his surprise, there was a ghost face outside the room.
It was the other girl who lived in this dormitory. Her body was twisted together, and she looked very scary.
"You run first!" Han Fei shouted. He had the shadow that wrapped around his arm stop the ghost face from escaping.
"Let's go together!" Zhang Guanxing hugged the black can, he was close to tears.
"Go back to your bedroom and wait for me. Don't wander off!" Han Fei retreated from the bedroom. He used himself as bait to lure Su Mengting and the ghost outside the door.
Zhang Guanxing knew what Han Fei was up to. Without hesitation, he said, "Sir! I'll go with you! I can help you! "
At this moment of life and death, the ruffian chose to protect Han Fei. With bloodshot eyes, he tried to protect Han Fei's back.
"Let's go!" Han Fei did not expect a scene that would appear in movies to happen to him. He really could not hold on any longer. "Let's go!"
Han Fei kicked Zhang Guanxing to the relatively safer side of the corridor.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Guanxing looked at Han Fei who was luring the attention of two ghosts. He saw the blood and tears on Han Fei's face. Han Fei's face was contorted from pain. Zhang Guanxing felt his heart wrench.
Even his father who only knew how to drink had never protected him like this!
"Sir …"
The tattoo on his arm faded. Zhang Guanxing gritted his teeth and ran down the stairs with the black can.
At the same time, the robotic voice rang in Han Fei's mind.
"Notification for Player 0000! Zhang Guanxing (Wild Dog) friendliness increased by 40! You have gained Zhang Guanxing's trust! "
Seeing Zhang Guanxing run away, Han Fei controlled the paper doll to approach him.
When the paper doll was not far away from him, he grabbed it and put it back into his inventory. Then, he summoned the shadow and ran toward the toilet on the third floor.
Before he could reach the toilet, Su Mengting had already caught up to him.
Han Fei had no choice but to have Xu Qin's shadow hide inside the toilet while he logged out of the game at the 3rd floor corridor.
The blood world froze and Han Fei's consciousness left the game.
Removing the heavy gaming helmet, Han Fei's heart was still pounding. He collapsed onto the bed and took in the fresh air greedily.
'It feels so good to be alive.'
Han Fei had never wanted to live so badly before. He had a reason to see the sun rise tomorrow because his first movie would be released tomorrow.
'I can't believe someone like me would look forward to a new day.'
He set an alarm. Han Fei tossed and turned in bed for a long time before he finally fell asleep.
At around 12 pm, he received a call from Director Jiang. Worried that Han Fei would forget to attend the gathering, he purposely gave him a few reminders.
This was the first time that Han Fei was reminded to attend a gathering by the director.
After a quick shower, Han Fei called for a takeaway. Then he turned on the computer and started to search for information about Yi Ming Private Academy.
The more he learned about the school, the more curious he became. He wanted to predict what kind of ghost stories he would run into next so that he could be mentally prepared.
'There's too little information on the internet but I can definitely dig deeper into this school. I have a feeling it has something to do with the Butterfly.'
Most of the Butterfly's targets were children, from Little Eight to Jin Sheng. Han Fei believed the Butterfly spread its malice everywhere to create a child that it was satisfied with.
Han Fei had no idea how satisfied it was but he had a feeling that he was very close to the truth.
The information about the human jigsaw case was pasted on the wall. Han Fei did not toss them away. He arranged them neatly and placed them in a cardboard box.
'Why does this feel like a police archive room?'
Shaking his head, Han Fei dealt with these things and began to learn various things again.
Criminal psychology, education, talent management, urban development and so on. From the books that he had read, Han Fei did not look like an actor at all.
At 6 pm, when Director Jiang called for the third time, Han Fei changed into a new set of clothes and left the room.
