Living alone in the old city, the first thing Han Fei did after he got home from work was to switch on the television. He did not watch it, he merely listened to the sound of the television.
After living alone for so many years, this was the first time his' home 'had been so' lively '.
The 7 ghosts sat on the sofa, watching the television. No one dared to disturb the peace, it was quite harmonious.
After being able to quit the game at any time, Han Fei's bravery increased. He wanted to get closer to his roommates, he wanted to find clues about the killer from the victims.
The old television replayed the victims' memories. Han Fei tried to memorize every detail in his mind.
It was nearing 4 am. If he did not do the bathing mission soon, the New Player Mission would be counted as a failure.
Han Fei looked at the clock on the wall. When it was 3.50 am, he stood up silently and walked to the bathroom alone.
'Whatever, I have to give it a try. Collecting all the rewards from the New Player Mission will be very beneficial to me.'
Han Fei did not switch on the light when he entered the bathroom. He thought back to the bathing mission's requirement, 'I need to use the game items to clean my body, face and head. The total cleaning time should be at least 20 minutes.'
Perfect Life was essentially a simulation game so Han Fei was not too surprised that it would set up something as mundane as bathing as a mission even though he knew it was more than just a simple shower.
Han Fei looked around and realized the bathroom door's lock was broken, it could not be locked.
'I can't lock the door?' Han Fei frowned but he soon composed himself. 'Thankfully the mission doesn't force me to take off my clothes.'
He switched on the shower. Han Fei stood under the water in his clothes, holding the cleaver.
The cold water washed over his body and his clothes stuck to his skin. The suffocating feeling was unbearable.
'The game has really reconstructed every detail.'
After half a minute of cold water, Han Fei noticed the completion rate of the bathing mission was still 0%.
He waited until his body was drenched before he turned to the sink. There was shampoo, facial cleanser and body wash.
'It's almost 4 am, showering at a haunted house sure feels different. No matter how high the water temperature is, my heart feels so cold.'
He squeezed out some body wash and rubbed it on his body. The completion rate of the bathing mission finally started to increase.
"So this is how it feels to bathe with clothes on. You can try a lot of things in the game that you can't do in real life."
Han Fei slowly came to realize one thing. A normal Perfect Life game would come with many restrictions, but the Perfect Life game that he was playing had no restrictions. As long as he could survive, he could do anything he wanted.
This place could be hell for humanity, but it could also be a blood-red heaven. Everything depended on his choice.
As the water heated up, a thin layer of mist rose from the bathroom. Han Fei's attention was on high alert.
When he finished washing his body and was about to wash his hair, the closed bathroom door suddenly opened by itself.
"Who came in?"
He poked his head into the living room. The television was still playing the heartwarming scene, but the seven victims sitting on the sofa had disappeared.
The water temperature was getting higher and higher, but Han Fei felt colder and colder.
The air in the cramped bathroom seemed to freeze. Han Fei turned to look at the mirror shrouded in mist.
In the mirror of the dressing table, there were seven other figures besides Han Fei.
Not daring to look back, Han Fei stared straight at the mirror.
Inside the mirror, Wei Youfu slowly walked out from behind Han Fei. He reached out to write on the mirror.
At the same time, words started to appear on the surface of the mirror — The child will appear soon, help her.
This was the first time Han Fei communicated with the tenants of a haunted house. He looked at the words on the mirror and then at Wei Youfu who stood next to him in the mirror. A strange feeling rose in his heart.
In real life outside the game, he was assigned the role of Wei Youfu. At that moment, he was separated from the victim he was supposed to play through a mirror.
His heart was still instinctively afraid but other than that, there was another emotion in his heart.
It was not sympathy or pity. Looking at the seven victims in the mirror, it was as if he was looking at his old self.
Raising his arm, Han Fei's fingertip touched the surface of the mirror.
Coolness flowed into his mind. He nodded slowly, "I can help her."
After he said that, Wei Youfu flashed a simple smile at Han Fei. Then his head and neck started to bleed. Horrifying wounds appeared on his body.
His body was violently dismantled beside Han Fei like a broken jigsaw puzzle.
Blood splattered on the bathroom's white walls. Han Fei had not experienced something so horrifying before. He had no idea whether the thing that splashed on him was water or blood.
But to Han Fei's horror, Wei Youfu was only the first.
After Wei Youfu's body was dismantled, Ah Mei, Cui Tianci, Cui Caiyi …
Blossoms of blood bloomed inside the narrow bathroom. The world in the mirror was dyed red. It could not even be described as hell on earth. In reality, Han Fei felt like he had fallen into an icy cavern. His body shook uncontrollably.
Water dripped down his face, blood flowed inside the mirror.
Han Fei had already closed his eyes. The horror and cruelty was not something that any horror movie could compare to. The sense of realism was like a sharp blade that pierced into Han Fei's heart.
After the bodies of the seven victims were dismantled, their flesh seemed to gain a life of its own in the mirror. Despair, hatred and pain formed black threads that started to reassemble the body parts.
This appeared to be what the killer had done and Han Fei was now standing in the middle of a crime scene.
Flesh and blood were used as jigsaw puzzles, lives were threaded through resentment. An ugly, crazed and horrifying monster was reborn inside the bodies of the victims.
Its body grew larger and larger. The faces of the seven victims slowly surfaced. They had lost their sanity. They screamed and screamed madly. The room was littered with their broken limbs.
The scene in the mirror was too gory but Han Fei forced himself to look. He remembered the words left behind by Wei Youfu, he was going to help the child that was about to be born.
'There must be a reason for the seven victims to do this. They're trying to reassemble themselves before me, they must be trying to show me something!'
The blood vessels bulged. The flesh and blood were consumed. The monster reached the ceiling but its body was still expanding.
Blood flowed. As the monster continued to grow, Han Fei finally found something at the location of the monster's heart.
He saw an unfamiliar face inside the monster's body.
He had searched through all the information related to the human jigsaw case but he could not find this face. The police had not released any information related to this face.
