Han Fei knew the old lady was not telling a story, she was talking about what had happened to her.
The kinder a person was, the more tormented they would feel after they had done something that was against their conscience.
This kind of guilt would turn into a kind of sickness. It would crawl around their heart and whenever they thought about it, their heart would ache.
Seeing the old lady like this, Han Fei did not know what to say.
The human heart was complicated. Even the kindest person could end up as an accomplice.
The old lady's health was not that good. She clutched her heart and did not continue.
In the conversation with Meng Si just now, Han Fei found something worth paying attention to.
The old lady in the game did not seem to have any memory of her own death, that was strange.
The victims of the human jigsaw case on the 4th floor had the despair and pain etched into their bones. They lost their rationality and forgot many things except for the fact that they had been brutally murdered.
The old lady on the 3rd floor, Meng Si, was the complete opposite. She was kind and kind. She remembered everything that had happened to her when she was alive but she had forgotten about her own death.
They were all dead but Chen Ge suspected this difference had something to do with the state they were in when they died.
Those who had been tortured and killed and were filled with hatred and pain would also go crazy in the game.
For people like the old lady, who had their own reasons for death, they managed to retain their sanity. Perhaps when the old lady died, there was not much hatred in her heart, only regret and regret.
Han Fei had no idea why. This game was filled with unknowns, he needed to explore it step by step.
"Notification for Player 0000! Grade G Normal Mission, Accompany and Listen completed! Friendliness level with Meng Si increases by 10!
"Notification for Player 0000! Friendliness level with Meng Si has reached the required level! Congratulations for gaining Meng Si's friendship! Now you've learned how to get along with your neighbors! "
Han Fei scrolled to the end of the menu. A new Life Blueprint appeared and Meng Si's name appeared in the Neighbors column.
"Meng Si (Slight Regret): The old lady has a kind heart. She feels like she owes the world and many people. She has a dedicated personality trait."
Staring at the character information, Han Fei was confused. 'What does the' Slight Regret 'behind the old lady's name mean?'
He tried to click on the 'Slight Regret' on the menu and the robotic voice appeared in his mind.
"Most of the normal residents of this world will have regrets. Maybe it's some kind of obsession, maybe it's an irreversible past, or maybe it's a knot in their heart that they can't let go.
"The level of regret is divided into three levels: Slight, Very, and Extreme. Different levels of regret have different manifestations."
Hearing the voice in his mind, Han Fei was even more confused. In other words, there are 3 levels of NPCs? No, the system only said that most of the normal residents in this world had regrets, but there were ghosts and a large number of abnormal people in the underworld! They should have another system of classification. "
After gaining Meng Si's friendship, Han Fei found out about the hierarchy of normal citizens. However, to understand the hierarchy of ghosts and abnormal humans, he would need to gain the friendship of a certain ghost or abnormal human first.
Three hours passed quickly. Han Fei put on the old man's jade pendant and came to the door.
Han Fei could feel the chill on his finger. He knew the child had not wandered far away, he was still loitering around the door.
"Granny, I believe the child will continue to guard the door. I'll open the door to lure him away. Then you need to go to the opposite room to find Chen Chen. Do not hesitate." Han Fei was more worried about the old lady. After all, she was already in her 70s.
"Okay." To save her grandson, the old lady gave it her all.
"I'll open the door on the count of 3. You have to wait until the child leaves with me before you come out." Han Fei first took out the ring of keys from his pocket. He held the anti-theft door key in his hand. "Ready!"
"1, 2, 3!"
The anti-theft door opened and Han Fei shot out like an arrow.
When he stepped into the stairwell, his fingers were frozen and the sound of a child's crying drifted into his ears.
Turning back to look, there was a child with a pale body crawling on the stairs!
Han Fei took 3 steps at a time. When he reached the 4th floor, he felt a weight on his back.
'It's crawling on my back?!'
The chill spread from his back to his neck and then his cheeks. Han Fei did not dare to be distracted. He quickly inserted the key into the lock.
He turned the key as hard as he could. His eyes were glued to the door!
The chill brushed past his cheeks. Just as the door was about to open, a child's pale face poked out from behind Han Fei's shoulder!
The two faces were only 10 centimeters apart. Han Fei's hair stood on end from fear. Any other person would've been scared out of their wits but Han Fei gritted his teeth and forced the door open.
The boy tried to push Han Fei down the stairs but Han Fei dashed into the room with the intention of fighting for his life.
He collapsed to the ground. The child who was strangling his neck was now sitting on his shoulders. The pair of cold hands covered Han Fei's eyes.
The wailing echoed in his mind. Han Fei had no time to think. He crawled towards the innermost bedroom of the haunted house. He remembered that this was the place where the monster disappeared.
The extra stamina point from the previous level up became the key. He successfully crawled to the bedroom door. He banged on it.
The lock shook. This haunted house had not been this lively in a long time.
'Wei Youfu!'
The dusty bedroom door was finally smashed open. A gust of cold wind blew out. The two hands that covered Han Fei's eyes slowly loosened.
Han Fei then saw 7 figures sitting on the edge of the bed in the innermost bedroom of the haunted house.
The room was like an icehouse, dark and bone-chillingly cold.
At that moment, Han Fei did something that even a ghost would not expect. He pulled the child on his shoulders and crawled into the bedroom. Then he closed the bedroom door behind him!
In the darkness, the child's crying became more shrill. Han Fei could not see anything. He shivered and mumbled, "The child insisted on playing with people, he wanted friends. I thought to myself, with so many friends, I'm sure he'll be happy."
When the pressure on his shoulders disappeared, Han Fei did not hesitate for a second. He rushed out of the bedroom.
The child on his back had disappeared. Han Fei realized the child's crying had been left in the bedroom.
He collapsed to the ground and gave a long sigh. "That scared the hell out of me."
When the child strangled his neck, he really thought he was going to die.
