Picking up the books from the fridge, Han Fei tried to place them into his inventory but to no avail. The system did not give him the corresponding notification.
'I have a feeling that these books left behind by Third Brother Meng Changan are hiding some kind of secret. Perhaps I can find out what kind of person Third Brother is through these books.'
Han Fei tried to read the books in the freezer, but all the books were too damaged to be read. Han Fei had no choice but to memorize the names of the books based on his excellent memory. He planned to check them out after he left the game.
Meng Si revealed the secret that was buried in her heart. The guilt and anxiety that she had been trying to hide all surfaced on her face. She was still kneeling beside the fridge.
"Granny, please cheer up. You still need to take care of Chen Chen. No matter what, he has not made any mistakes. You can't let a child share the pain of an adult. "
Even though Chen Chen was a naughty child, he did not even get to see the real world before he was murdered along with the old lady. In terms of pitiful circumstances, he was the most pitiful and innocent.
After helping the old lady up, Han Fei carried Chen Chen into the bedroom and placed him on the bed. "Granny, I'll come here often to help you in the future. If you have any problems, you can come upstairs to find me. We can discuss it together."
Han Fei treated Meng Si's place as a safe house. After logging into the game, he would stay here for 3 hours. After completing a mission, he could log off at any time, it was perfect.
Meng Si, who was still in pain, did not know about this. She was surprised, "You're still willing to help me after knowing all this?"
Meng Si had paid with her life for her mistake but Han Fei did not plan to talk about that. He just wanted to survive in this hellish game.
"Take good care of Chen Chen, don't let him wander off. For the sake of this child, you have to hold on." After saying that, Han Fei found a pen and paper and prepared to get to the point.
The reason why he tried so hard to gain the old lady's trust was for this moment.
Han Fei was not familiar with this world, he needed someone to provide him with information. The old lady, Meng Si, had lived here for a long time, she was the perfect candidate.
"Granny, the building manager hasn't shown up for so long, something might have happened. I wish to go up to the 10th floor to investigate."
"It's very dangerous upstairs, you'd better not go up there." Meng Si advised.
"If you don't do it because it's dangerous, then sooner or later, the danger will spread to you. When that time comes, it will be too late to escape." Han Fei picked up the pen. "Granny, you've lived here for a long time. Can you tell me what are the taboos in this building?"
Seeing that Han Fei had made up his mind, Meng Si did not try to stop him. She thought about it before saying, "Room 1044 is a taboo in itself, and there's also Room 1034 on the 3rd floor. Almost no neighbors will visit these two rooms. Normally, when they do, they will move faster."
"Is there a more dangerous place in this building than these two rooms?"
"Yes." The old man nodded. "I don't know what happened on the 9th floor. Other than the building manager, no one came back down. There's also something wrong with the staircase between the seventh and eighth floors. If you go there after midnight, you might end up in another place and see something special. "
"Have you seen it?"
"If I have, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive now. I've only heard about it." The old man was not that brave. "Something strange happened to Room 1084 on the 8th floor. Someone once ran into a girl there. When the building manager was still around, he often warned me not to go to the 8th floor alone. The 7th floor seems to be unoccupied and the original neighbors on the 6th floor have moved away. They've been replaced by people from outside the neighbourhood. I rarely interact with them. Normally, whenever I hear their voices, I'll move away. "
"There are several people living on the 6th floor? And they came from outside the neighbourhood? " Han Fei was reminded of the neighbor who came to visit him. He first appeared on the 6th floor.
"Yes, other than that, there are many other things to take note of. For example, when you're walking down the corridor at night, if someone calls your name from behind, do not turn around. Even if someone knocks on your door at midnight, do not open it because most of the neighbors here will not visit at night. There's one more thing I need to remind you, if you're in the corridor and the voice-activated lights suddenly go off, you have to be very careful because something might be coming your way … "
The old lady reminded Han Fei of many things to take note of and Han Fei recorded them all down.
"Granny, you've lived here for a long time. Are there any neighbors that you think are decent? The kind that are suitable to be friends with? "Han Fei wished to unite more people because he knew one person's power was limited.
After giving it some thought, the granny shook her head. "There's no one that's suitable to be friends with. If you have to pick one, I think the tenant in Room 1052 on the 5th floor is not too bad."
"The tenant in Room 1052?"
"Her name is Xu Qin, she's crazy." As if afraid that Chen Ge would not understand, the granny added, "Even though she looks crazy, she has not harmed anyone. One time, Chen Chen accidentally ran upstairs and it was her who brought Chen Chen back."
"Okay, I'll try to get to know her and try to befriend her." Han Fei was not afraid of the woman's craziness. Compared to his roommate at the haunted house, a madwoman who would not harm others was like an angel.
"She's a pitiful person. If possible, try to help her."
"Okay, I'll figure out a way to untie her heart." In the whole building, there were only two people who could get along well with each other. Han Fei's heart was crumbling but he did not let it show.
They chatted for a whole 3 hours. Han Fei hand-drew a map. He marked out all the known forbidden areas in the building.
'My final goal is to enter the building manager's Room 1101 and find out why he chose me to play this game. I also need to get my hands on all the things left behind by the building manager.
'Before that, I need to befriend the tenants in Room 1052 and try to unite as many tenants as possible.'
Han Fei decided to explore this game step by step while ensuring his own survival.
Han Fei left the old lady's place when it was almost 4 am. He snuck into the stairwell without alerting anyone.
'There are more blood stains in the stairwell and there are many children's handprints on the walls and railings. Looks like Weep has caused quite a ruckus in this building. The child must have suffered quite a lot trying to find me.'
