Han Fei did not accept Zhan Yueyue's gift. Even though his social anxiety was not as severe as before, he was still not good at socializing. Or rather, his socializing skills had started to develop in a different direction after being trained by the game.
After he returned home, Han Fei had a hearty meal. Before this, he lived frugally so that he could one day buy a house of his own.
But after playing the Iyashikei game, the knot in his heart was unraveled. House? Money? These things were too common!
All he wanted now was to look at the morning sun and savor the beauty of life.
'How come I didn't notice the food at the restaurant downstairs was so delicious?'
After cleaning up the table, Han Fei stared blankly at the wall that was filled with pictures of the victims.
'My monster roommate's biggest wish is to capture the killer but how am I supposed to face such a vicious murderer?
I'm just an insignificant actor but the man is a psychopathic murderer who is skilled in disguise and anti-detection. He has killed 8 people in a row and managed to evade the police's detection! If I really find clues about the other party, will that guy kill me in real life? "
Han Fei's face darkened. Investigating a murder case alone to get closer to the real killer was not a cool thing to do but a very dangerous thing to do.
'I need to cooperate with the police but I cannot reveal the existence of the game. Other than that, the more people that know about me, the more likely the murderer will come after me.'
'Now it's him in the dark and so am I. We're both safe. If I walk out into the open on my own, I'm sure he'll find a way to kill me. '
Clenching his fists, Han Fei knew he was currently a weakling with only 5 stamina.
'I can quit the game but not in real life.' Han Fei stood up from the sofa, 'I can't continue to be so useless.'
Switching on the computer, Han Fei ordered a metal tactical pen, baton, flashlight and taser.
Then he opened the related website and purchased a large number of courses on criminal psychology, self-defense and survival education. In this era where knowledge was paid for, as long as one was willing to pay, one could buy useful knowledge.
'I've been such a waste of time before, I should make my life more fulfilling.'
He worked hard and studied hard outside of work. Those who did not know him would think he was a very cheerful person.
After coming up with the plan, Han Fei started to study hard. He not only needed to understand the killer's motive, he also needed to learn how to rescue the victim from despair. Both of these were related to his life.
When it was almost midnight, Han Fei locked the doors and windows and put on the gaming helmet hesitantly.
"The last time I logged out was on the third floor. I had to prevent that brat from camping my corpse, so I logged into the game and ran straight to the fourth floor!"
After connecting all the wires, when midnight arrived, the world before Han Fei's eyes turned blood red.
"Welcome to Perfect Life! Now you can … "
Before the mechanical voice finished, Han Fei's eyes flew open. At that moment, his face paled.
His fingers were frozen by the coolness from the ring. Han Fei lifted his head to look. The door on the 3rd floor that was plastered with talismans was half open. A child with a blurry face was sitting at the door!
'He's waiting for me!'
Goosebumps appeared on Han Fei's skin. He thought his mental endurance had been greatly improved but at that moment, he realized how naive he was. The horror of this hellish game was far beyond his imagination.
'I haven't completed the mission, I haven't stayed for the full 3 hours. If I'm dragged into the room by that brat …' Han Fei did not dare to think any further. He tried to move back but the moment he moved, the child raised his head.
In the darkened corridor, being stared at by a child whose face could not be seen clearly, Han Fei felt chills run down his spine.
'If I run as fast as I can, I should be able to get to the 4th floor but the problem is I still need to open the door.' Han Fei was in despair but at that moment, the child suddenly stood up.
Just as Han Fei was confused, the door behind him was suddenly opened.
"Come in!"
A force pulled Han Fei backward as if trying to drag him into the room.
Hearing the familiar voice, Han Fei did not hesitate.
There was only one chance, he quickly cooperated with the person and retreated.
Seeing the child start to crawl madly, Han Fei retreated into the granny's room.
"Bang!"
The door slammed shut. The sound of nails scratching came from outside the door. Han Fei collapsed to the ground. His back was already soaked in cold sweat.
"Are you alright?" Meng Si coughed as she helped Han Fei up from the ground.
"Granny, if not for your help this time, I would've been dead for real! Thank you! "Han Fei thanked the old lady sincerely.
"Why did you suddenly come up to the 3rd floor?" Meng Si's face was pale, her body appeared to be in a worse state.
"My room is haunted! Other than that, I have some questions to ask you. "Han Fei was not putting on an act, his room was really haunted.
"Wait here for a moment, let me see if the child has left." The old lady placed the red candle on the table next to the door. The light shone on the wall. Only then did Han Fei realize the lights were not switched on.
The old lady stared at the flickering flame and the shadows on the wall. After a long time, she said, "There is no sign of the child, he did not follow us in."
"What's wrong with the child? He looks so scary! "Han Fei finally recovered from the shock.
Meng Si did not answer. She held the candle and shuffled back into the room.
"Granny, from the time I ran into the child to the time you opened the door, there was only a short period of time. Have you been standing at the door the whole time? Or did you just happen to notice me? "Han Fei was confused. He knew the old lady was not a bad person but there was nothing wrong with being careful.
"I've been watching the opposite door from inside the house," Ye Zichen said. Meng Si placed the red candle on the table and sighed. The wrinkles on her face deepened. "Chen Chen has disappeared, I suspect he has run into the opposite room."
"Chen Chen has gone missing?" Han Fei's heart skipped a beat.
"Sigh, do you know why I always lock Chen Chen in his bedroom?" The old lady slumped weakly on the chair.
"Why?" Han Fei was indeed curious. He was reminded of the first time he came to the old lady's home. At the time, the old lady had unlocked the bedroom door and called Chen Chen out for dinner.
Han Fei almost forgot about this detail but now that he thought about it, he realized something was wrong.
