'The sleeping mission needs to start in 5 minutes while the shower mission needs to start before 4 am. I have more than enough time to complete both missions.'
Han Fei already had a plan in mind. 'I'll complete the sleeping mission first. Based on the mission requirement, after I complete the sleeping mission, I'll be able to stay in the house for 3 hours. After that, I'll be able to log off at any time.
'The shower mission requires me to go to the bathroom. It'll be hard to escape from a supernatural incident in a confined space but I can log off at any time. If something really happens, I'll just log off.'
Han Fei did not accept the mission blindly, he had given it some thought.
The New Player's protection period was over and he had no idea what the outside world would be like. Instead of accepting new missions, Han Fei might as well stay in the house and complete the missions.
After all, to survive in this room, he had memorized more than 100 pages of case files.
Time trickled by. Han Fei busied himself in the room. He switched off all the lights, found the cleaver and hid it under the pillow. Then he removed the mop.
To be honest, the cleaver was more of a comfort to Han Fei. Even if a neighbor came to visit, he would not use the cleaver. Only when the neighbor refused to come in would Han Fei use the stick to provoke them, or to put it more politely, invite them.
To prevent theft, Han Fei purposely did not close the door completely, leaving a small gap.
'If the ghost inside the house goes berserk, I'll run out. If there's a special neighbor that I can't defeat, I'll run to the innermost bedroom.'
After everything was prepared, Han Fei moved to the bedroom closest to the living room. This was where he did the sleeping mission last time.
'I failed last time because I panicked too much. I was so close to success but I was too cowardly. This time, no matter what, I have to hold on for 3 hours. Only after I complete the sleeping mission will I have enough room for the shower mission.'
Han Fei stared at the electronic clock on the wall and kept reminding himself.
When it was 12.05 pm, Han Fei crawled into bed and covered himself with the blanket. Only a small gap was left open to observe the outside world.
'During the sleeping mission, the ghost in the bathroom appeared at 2.44 pm.
'Today, I'll start the mission at 0.05 am. If the ghost still appears at 2.44 am, then I only need to stall for 21 minutes to complete the mission.'
It's a little difficult, but not impossible. Compared to last time, I now have an additional passive Exclusive Skill — Hide and Seek. As long as I hide well, my presence will be minimized.
The sleeping mission had started so Han Fei was quite confident. 'There's no need to worry too much about the first half of the mission. The key to this mission is in the last half an hour but I can't let my guard down. According to the mission introduction, every time I fail the mission, the difficulty will increase slightly. I have to be prepared for any unexpected situations.'
Hiding under the quilt, Han Fei gripped the handle of the cleaver in one hand and the mop handle in the other. His muscles tensed like a leopard in hunting mode. His expression was serious and his eyes sharp.
Who would have thought that just a few days ago, he had locked himself in his rented apartment with messy hair and a look of despair on his face, playing games day and night.
It was late at night, and the house became very quiet. Only the ticking of the electronic clock could be heard.
Han Fei counted the time silently in his mind. His eyes were glued to the bathroom door. His entire focus was on the bathroom.
But at 0: 14 am, there was a sudden creaking sound in the quiet room.
'The bathroom door didn't move, it's coming from somewhere else!'
In the dead silence of the house, any sound was amplified. Han Fei tried to determine the source of the sound. His eyes moved away from the bathroom and slowly moved.
'That sounds like the door opening? The only room with the most rusted door hinges … is the innermost bedroom! '
Han Fei's eyes stopped at the bedroom door. He saw half a child's face outside his bedroom door.
The child's facial features were blurry. He slowly poked his head into the bedroom.
Han Fei held his breath and did not dare to move.
The child looked into the room for a long time before dragging his broken body away from Han Fei's bedroom door.
'It's only 0.14 am, isn't this a little too early?'
Han Fei could only see the living room and bathroom from his bedroom, he could not see the innermost bedroom. It was only after he heard the sound of the door hinges that he realized something had come out from that room.
'The innermost bedroom is the most dangerous. The sleeping mission has changed, the ghost has appeared earlier than expected. But there's good news, the ghost doesn't appear to be interested in me.'
The child paced around the living room before sitting on the sofa. Han Fei could see the back of the child's head from the bedroom. He was worried that the child's head would suddenly turn 180 degrees to face him.
The air in the room was thick with anxiety. Han Fei hid under the covers, he did not even dare to poke his finger out.
'It's fine, I just need to hold on for another 2 hours.'
The child sat on the sofa and did not move until 0.44 am. Without warning, a woman with long hair walked past Han Fei's bedroom door and entered the living room.
'Another one?'
The woman's figure was also blurry. She picked up the television remote and silently sat down next to the child.
Seeing the two ghosts on the sofa facing away from him, Han Fei's hair stood on end. If they did not turn around, Han Fei would be afraid, but if they did, Han Fei would be even more afraid.
Time seemed to slow down, every moment was excruciating. Ever since the two ghosts sat on the sofa, Han Fei's posture had not changed. He did not even dare to breathe too loudly.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock …
The ticking of the electronic clock was mixed with other sounds, it sounded like water dripping.
At 1.04 am, the kitchen door was pushed open. A woman with short hair stood at the door with her head lowered. She held a fruit knife, she appeared to be searching for something.
At 1.14 am, the sound of high heels came from the innermost bedroom.
At 2.44 am, the lock on the bathroom door started to vibrate. Soon after, the door opened a gap.
And through the gap, an eyeball was staring at Han Fei's bedroom.
A pale arm reached out from the bathroom. Sticky black hair stuck to the face. The person crawled out from the bathroom and then disappeared from Han Fei's sight.
The temperature in the bedroom slowly dropped. Han Fei gritted his teeth. He heard something scratching against the bedsheet. Strands of black hair slid down from the gap between the covers. It felt like someone was squatting beside the bed with their head lowered, preparing to crawl under the covers.
Han Fei covered his mouth and nose. His eyes stared closely at the gap between the covers. It was already 2.45 am, the 3 hours were almost up.
The chill pierced into his heart. Han Fei's face was purple from the suffocation. Just as he was about to lose control, the television in the living room was switched on.
The dim light filtered into the room and the chill in the bedroom slowly disappeared.
