After 3: 44 am, the atmosphere inside the building had changed. Han Fei had triggered two Grade F Hidden Missions in such a short time, that explained everything.
Patrolling and running to Room 1244, they looked like easy missions but the easier they were, the more worried Han Fei became. He understood the difficulty of Grade F Hidden Missions.
The easier the mission seemed, the more trouble one might encounter when completing it.
'She's coming!'
Han Fei gritted his teeth. The woman would kill everything in sight when she fell from the building. She would clear the floors one by one, so the only way out was to get to Room 1244.
Room 1244 was one of the three most dangerous rooms in Apartment 1 but Han Fei had no choice but to run there!
Only by completing the mission would he be able to quit the game. For someone who might not even see the next day, survival was the most important thing.
Brother Hua and Xiao Fang did not realize the severity of the situation but when they saw Han Fei disregard his injuries and run up the stairs, the fear in their hearts was completely triggered.
Everyone had a herd mentality, fear would spread and infect them. The two of them had been scared so many times already, they were at their limit. Even though they were still confused, their bodies had started to move. They ran faster than Han Fei.
They reached the 17th floor in one breath. Han Fei gripped the banister and glanced down. What he saw almost scared his soul out of his body.
The arm that was on the 8th floor was now on the 11th floor, only 6 more floors to go.
The woman seemed to realize that she had been discovered and she picked up her speed.
"Stop running around! You can't just go upstairs! " Brother Hua's voice was laced with anxiety. When he reached the gap between the 17th and 18th floor, he tried his best to calm Han Fei and Xiao Fang down. "If the safety door on the 18th floor is open, we'll circle around it and go up from the other side!"
Xiao Fang was too busy running to notice Brother Hua.
Han Fei did hear him but he did not dare to stop.
The lights on the 17th floor went off. The flashlight flickered madly in the darkened corridor. When the light reached the 18th floor corridor, the 3 guards saw the safety door that was completely open.
The safety door on the 18th floor was different from the other doors. The inside of the door was covered in strange talismans.
"Stop! Stop! " Seeing the safety door open on the 18th floor, Brother Hua screamed in panic. However, neither Xiao Fang nor Han Fei, who was leading the way, showed any sign of slowing down.
The two of them quickly reached the 18th floor. Just as they were about to run to the 19th floor, they suddenly saw a skinny middle-aged man squatting in the middle of the stairs.
The man was wearing white mourning clothes and his body was stuffed with paper money.
Xiao Fang had never seen this middle-aged man in the building before. He stopped but Han Fei did not care. He flipped open the red dress.
"Big Brother, I'll help you boost your happiness today!"
Spreading the red dress with both hands, Han Fei rushed upstairs. He was already risking his life. As long as he could quit the game, he could do anything.
The middle-aged man in mourning clothes took a step back but when Xiao Fang ran past him, the man suddenly reached out his hand to stop Xiao Fang.
"Quick! Just give him something! "Brother Hua shouted from behind, but it was too late. The man's hand had already reached Xiao Fang's chest.
He didn't see him do anything, but Xiao Fang seemed to have fallen asleep and fell to the ground with a thud.
When Brother Hua saw this, he pulled out a handful of change from his pocket and dropped it on the ground. When the middle-aged man lowered his head, Brother Hua dragged Xiao Fang and ran past the man.
Xiao Fang woke up when his head knocked against the hard stairs. He was completely spooked. "Why did I fall?"
"There was once a greedy merchant who lived in room 1184. He had a fortune teller tell him that if he stayed in that room, he would be rich until he died! In the end, he really died a few days after he moved in. Then, someone saw him in the stairwell! "Brother Hua dragged Xiao Fang." If you don't give him the money, he'll follow you home and kill you! "
Xiao Fang's heart skipped a beat. When he turned back to look, the middle-aged man had already disappeared. Instead, there were some paper money scattered on the ground.
"Room 1184 is very haunted. According to legend, the half-immortal who told the fortune of the merchant was the original owner of Room 1184. However, he died long before he met the merchant. We all suspect that the merchant was possessed and in the end, he became the scapegoat." Brother Hua gasped for air. He was worried that Han Fei and Xiao Fang would get into trouble again. "Be careful!"
"It's not a matter of being careful anymore. If we're one step slower, we'll lose our lives." Han Fei was the first to reach the 19th floor. The red dress had helped him scare away the middle-aged man but something inside the dress seemed to have sensed something and was slowly waking up.
If the red dress saw how Han Fei was using it, it would probably kill Han Fei as well.
There was a jumper downstairs who was holding the red dress, there was an unknown danger upstairs, two Grade F Missions in less than half an hour, everything had happened too fast. As Han Fei ran for his life, his brain kept thinking and he had to pay attention to the things around him and the red dress.
With every floor that Han Fei's group moved up, the distance between them and the jumper would close.
'At this rate, there's a chance that I'll reach Room 1244. However, an F-rank mission shouldn't be that simple. Did I overlook something? "
The sound of the jumper crawling could be heard clearly in the stairwell. She crawled on all fours. Her arms and legs were all twisted. She was like a giant worm clinging to the banister as she dragged her deformed body up.
'This game is a game of healing for ghosts, the core of all the missions is still the ghosts. How can the players be forced to interact with the ghosts during their escape?'
Han Fei's expression changed. He thought of a possibility. 'The mission requirement is to enter the highest floor of Apartment 1, the most dangerous Room 1244. But if the door to Room 1244 is locked, I'll need the key to enter it!'
'Based on the mission information, Room 1244 is related to the jumper, so she might have escaped from that room. Since she's the owner of that room, it makes sense that she would have the key. '
At this point, Han Fei's face blanched. His eyes twitched. This should be the difficulty of a Grade F Mission.
'There's probably another way, it's too early to give up now!'
Pushing the red dress open, Han Fei rushed up to the 20th floor with all his might. If this was a normal residential area, the tenants wouldn't have dared to stop a person running up the stairs in the middle of the night.
