"Chen Chen has always been introverted since he was young. He refused to go out and play with the other children, he was often alone.
"I don't know when it started but he suddenly became so lively. At the time, I was quite happy, I thought Chen Chen had finally found his friend.
"But then I realized something was wrong. Chen Chen would always go out after 7 pm and when he returned, he would always be dirty. There would be small wounds on his arms and face.
"One time, he didn't come back until it was very late. I was worried so I asked the building manager to go find him. We searched for a long time before we found Chen Chen inside an abandoned water tank.
He was curled up inside the water tank alone. His body kept shaking. We asked him what he was doing and he said he was playing hide and seek with his friend.
"The building manager and I asked for his friend's name. Chen Chen hesitated for a long time before he told us his friend's name was Weep.
"At the time, I was confused. Who would have the name Weep? The building manager's expression shifted when he heard the name. He asked Chen Chen if Weep lived on the 3rd floor.
"Chen Chen nodded. Then the building manager told us something even scarier. Even though the room on the 3rd floor was not the scene of a murder, something even scarier than a murder had taken place there."
"A long time ago, children kept disappearing at the residential area. In the end, the children's clothes and belongings were all found in Room 1034 on the 3rd floor.
Room 1034 was like a house that ate children. It wasn't until the 3rd floor's doors and windows were completely sealed that things got better.
"The child called Weep hasn't appeared for a long time already. I didn't expect him to suddenly haunt Chen Chen."
The wrinkles on the old man's face scrunched together. "Ever since I forbade Chen Chen from going out to play with Weep, it was like Chen Chen was possessed. His personality became grumpy. He kept saying that someone was waiting for him and someone was calling his name. Whenever I let him out, he would run to the other side and talk to himself through the door. Sometimes he would laugh and sometimes he would cry. In the end, I had no choice but to lock him up in his bedroom. "
After hearing the old man's story, Han Fei's heart chilled. There were many scary things at this building but no one was willing to get close to Room 1034. In the end, the room was sealed up. That was how scary Weep was.
"I locked Chen Chen in the bedroom, and his personality is getting worse. Yesterday, after dinner, I wasn't paying attention, and the child ran out. When I got to the door, I realized that the opposite door was half open. I don't know who removed the talisman paper and the wooden board inside the door. "The old woman sighed. She was really worried about Chen Chen.
"The talisman might have been torn by Chen Chen, but with his strength, I don't think he would have been able to remove the wooden planks. It was the other tenants who destroyed them." Han Fei had a feeling none of his neighbours were normal so when he thought about the problem, he assumed the worst. "Has something big happened here recently?"
"I don't know either." The granny shook her head. After some thought, she suddenly said, "By the way, I haven't seen the building manager for a long time. It feels like he's gone missing."
"Manager?" This was not the first time Chen Ge had heard this title. "Granny, who is this building manager that you're talking about?"
"He was the earliest resident of this building. He was in his sixties and looked very kind. He had a good relationship with some of the old neighbors. But as the old neighbors left, the building manager's condition worsened. "
"How could he not be in a bad state?" Han Fei thought back to Meng Si's words. For some reason, he felt like he had seen the building manager before. "Granny, the building manager you mentioned, did he have white hair and a black mole on the side of his neck …"
"Yes! Where did you meet him? "The granny was shocked.
'It's really him?' The scattered clues in Han Fei's mind slowly came together. The old man that Han Fei mentioned was the shop owner who sold him the gaming helmet!
The old man was not as simple as he appeared! The mausoleum guardian was just one of his identities!
Han Fei's brain spun. He still had too little information. "Granny, do you know where the building manager normally stays?"
"He lives in Room 1101 on the 10th floor. Are you going to find the building manager to save Chen Chen?" Meng Si frowned. "It's not safe in the stairwell. Furthermore, we might run into Weep if we go out now."
Han Fei memorized the number 1101. This was the most important clue he had obtained since he entered the game. "To get to Room 1101, I'll have to go upstairs. I'm only level 2, the chance of me reaching the 10th floor alive is too low. There's no need to rush, I need to take things slow. "
Glancing at Meng Si, an idea formed in Han Fei's mind.
Chen Chen was Meng Si's most important family. Now that Chen Chen was in danger, if he could save Chen Chen, then Meng Si would become a completely trustworthy ally.
Teaming up with an old lady in her seventies was something that Han Fei would never have considered before, but in a situation like this, every bit of help was extremely precious.
Meng Si had just saved his life, from a moral perspective, Han Fei was repaying the old lady's kindness.
Other than that, Han Fei did not plan to enter the room next door to search for Chen Chen. What he wanted to do was to lure Weep to the room on the 4th floor and deal with him once and for all.
Even if his monster roommate failed to kill Weep, as long as it could stall Weep, Han Fei and the old lady would have enough time to enter the room on the 3rd floor to search for Chen Chen.
Even if he failed to find Chen Chen, the fact that Han Fei was willing to risk his life to do these things was enough to gain the old lady's trust.
As long as he could make the old man trust him a hundred percent, he would have his first real friend in this horrifying netherworld apartment!
After much thought, Han Fei finally made up his mind. He was going to make use of this rare opportunity.
Taking a deep breath, Han Fei turned to the old lady with an expression that said, "Granny, I have an idea that might be able to save Chen Chen."
"What is it?" The old lady asked anxiously.
"I'll act as bait, I'll lure Weep upstairs. You use that chance to sneak into the room opposite. If Chen Chen is still inside the room, you have to bring him out as soon as possible."
"No! You're putting your life on the line here! Absolutely not! "The old lady rejected sternly.
"It's not like we can waste our time here." Han Fei voiced his real intention. "How about this, we'll wait for 3 hours. If after 3 hours, Weep is still guarding the door, then we'll do as I say. I'll lure him away and you go into the room to find Chen Chen. If Weep leaves after 3 hours, then I'll go upstairs to ask for help from the other neighbours. "
"But whether you lure Weep away or ask for help from the other neighbours, it'll be very dangerous. One wrong move and you'll lose your life. Aren't you afraid?" The granny was worried about Han Fei.
"I am, I'm very afraid, but there's no better way." Han Fei's face was determined as he flexed his chilled fingers. "Perhaps only when a person is afraid can they be truly brave."
Seeing Han Fei's willingness to do this even though he was scared to death, the old lady was touched.
At the same time, the cold voice in Han Fei's mind said, "Notification for Player 0000! Friendliness level with Meng Si increases by 10, a harmonious relationship with a neighbour is the first step to a perfect life. "
