After a long time, both the girl and the monster disappeared into the mist. The bathroom returned to normal like nothing had happened.
The water from the shower slid down Han Fei's body. The energy drained out of him as he collapsed to the bathroom floor.
His clothes were completely soaked. Looking at his hands, he still had a surreal feeling.
"I … dug through the flesh."
Even though his intention was to save the girl, the horror scene still left a huge impact on Han Fei.
It was like he was standing at the scene of the murder, watching everything unfold before his eyes.
His head buzzed. Han Fei kept washing his hands under the shower as if there was blood on them that was invisible to the naked eye.
'And this is just a New Player Mission.'
After a long time, Han Fei crawled up from the ground. He switched off the shower and stood before the bathroom mirror dumbly.
The flowers of blood that bloomed on the wall earlier were too shocking. Even thinking back to it, Han Fei shivered.
'Wei Youfu told me to help the girl. The other victims did not cause any trouble. They believed the girl in the monster's body needed help.'
Han Fei did not dare to stay too close to the mirror. He silently arranged the clues in his mind.
'The girl looks like she's in her teens but she doesn't seem to understand anything. It's as if she's isolated from society. Her world is only filled with her father, mother and siblings. Perhaps it's because she hasn't received a proper education that she can say such scary things in such a calm tone. '
His clothes stuck to his body. Han Fei's head was splitting. Both his mind and body were at their limit.
'My stamina and intelligence are still too weak. I've only completed two New Player Missions and I'm already at my limit. I need to level up as soon as possible.'
Leaning against the wall, Han Fei could barely stand. He opened the menu and added all the skill points he gained from completing the two New Player Missions into his acting skill.
"Notification for Player 0000! Your acting skill has reached average level 5! Congratulations, you've crossed the threshold. Now you have the right to say that you've mastered acting! "
After playing the game for several days, Han Fei spent all his skill points on improving his acting. He had been in a life and death situation so he did not pay much attention to it.
Now that he saw the system notification, he realized his acting skill had indeed improved greatly. He could easily control his facial muscles and easily make the slightest change in his expression.
In addition to the improvement in his skills, his psychological endurance and adaptability had also improved. Many seniors who had been in the industry for many years were probably not as good as him in this aspect.
After leveling up his acting skills, Han Fei took out the landlord's diary from his inventory. It looked like a normal black diary, it was clean, there was not a single word on it.
"It's probably because I haven't mastered the correct usage yet." Han Fei was really tired. He placed the laptop back into the inventory and then exited the bathroom. He closed the door that was not locked. "It's too bad no neighbors came to visit last night."
After that, Han Fei quit the game.
The color of blood spread to the whole world. Han Fei had gotten used to it.
Taking off the gaming helmet, he lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all.
It was night time in the game, but the sun had already risen in reality.
Lying quietly in bed, when Han Fei opened his eyes, his mind was filled with the various clues of the murder case. When he closed his eyes, it felt like he was standing in a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses.
In this extreme dilemma, he slowly fell asleep.
The afternoon sun shone into the room through the gap in the curtains. Han Fei was woken up by the ringing of his phone. The stun gun and baton that he ordered online had arrived.
After retrieving the package, Han Fei read through the manual and learned how to use it. At least he had some combat ability now.
After grabbing some food, Han Fei picked up the phone and started to organize the clues.
"The 8th victim is a girl, her age should be between 13 to 16. Considering the fact that there is no information on her in the citizen database, she is most likely an abandoned child. In the modern age where technology is highly advanced, even the orphans in the orphanage have a full set of identities. Only children who have been isolated from the outside world from a very young age would not have such a person in the database.
"With the help of the 6th generation computer, as long as a person leaves a trace on the internet, their identity will be tracked down. In other words, the 8th victim has never used the internet before.
"Abandoned child, forest, strange parents."
Han Fei used a pen to mark a sentence on the blank picture of the 8th victim — Living far away from the city and technology, probably deep inside the forest.
"The murderer killed in the name of beauty. Number 8 was the last victim. She died before dawn, the moment the work was completed. Based on the song that the 8th victim sang, I believe the killer is most likely the 8th's father. "
The scope of investigation narrowed down and Han Fei was reminded of another clue.
"If the killer really chose to kill Wei Youfu because of his beautiful heart, then the killer probably knows Wei Youfu."
After going online to investigate Wei Youfu's social network, Han Fei finally focused on the toy store that Wei Youfu frequented.
He studied for a long time. From the store owner to the employees, none of them could be the killer.
"I need to investigate so many people just to deal with Wei Youfu, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle this alone." Han Fei finally understood how difficult it was for the police. After some thought, he decided to seek help from the police.
Hiding the gaming helmet, Han Fei took out his phone to call Li Xue.
It was too difficult for a comedian to independently investigate a serial murder case from ten years ago.
Han Fei needed help and at the same time, he wanted to make a deal with Li Xue.
"Li Xue, do you have time now?" Curses and pleas came from Han Fei's phone but Li Xue's voice was nowhere to be heard. "Are you on a mission?"
"Yes, I am."
"Can you come to my place? I've found out what the 8th victim looks like."
"You've found out the identity of the 8th victim?!" Li Xue's tone changed. "Okay! I'll be there in a minute! "
"My rented place is at …"
"I know where your home is. Have you forgotten why I personally sent you home last time?"
After hanging up, Li Xue in casual attire appeared at Han Fei's door 20 minutes later.
"Your home is quite clean, unlike a man who lives alone."
When Li Xue entered the house, she was stunned when she saw the walls of Han Fei's house.
The large wall was filled with pictures of the victims. Various relationships and clues were listed out in detail. At first glance, it was like walking into a crime squad office.
"Have a seat." Han Fei poured Li Xue a glass of water.
"I remember you're not an actor, right?" Li Xue's eyes were still glued to the wall. "Don't tell me you're a part-time private investigator?"
"Don't misunderstand me, I'm just acting in a movie that's related to the human jigsaw case. The movie is called Flower of Sin, it's based on the human jigsaw case." Ever since Han Fei started playing Perfect Life, he gave off an air of gentleness and gentleness. No matter what he did, he was not arrogant.
