Han Fei was not a detective, so it was better to leave the case solving to the police. He was only responsible for providing clues.
After ascertaining his position, Han Fei felt more relaxed. 'Before the culprit is caught, I need to keep a low profile and act no different from the others.'
Turning back to look at the set for Flower of Sin, Han Fei was worried that the culprit might come looking for him. After all, their movie was based on a real case. Many serial killers had a perverted hobby of admiring their own 'work'.
After a quick meal, Han Fei returned home.
After he pushed the door open, he did not enter the room immediately but checked to make sure there was no one inside.
'I've been so tense every day that I've started to develop some strange habits.'
Han Fei closed the door and switched on the television. The room finally gained some life.
After taking a comfortable hot shower, Han Fei sat on the chair. He held the dumbbells in one hand and picked up a Criminal Psychology textbook with the other. 'When a person's criminal psychology develops to the stage of personality change, it means that the person's criminal psychology has already been fixed. To correct this type of personality, it will take a long, detailed and complicated process … '
Constant effort could wear away a stone. Learning was a long process. Han Fei, who dreamed of becoming a comedy actor, believed that as long as he persevered, after his dream of being an actor was shattered, he would become an excellent assistant police officer.
At 11.50 pm, Han Fei connected all the wires. He hugged the gaming helmet and lay in bed.
'I still can't communicate with the victims inside Room 1044 but I'm sure they don't seem to have any intention of killing me. That's already a blessing in disguise.'
When midnight arrived, Han Fei put on the gaming helmet. As the red descended, the robotic voice echoed in his mind.
"Welcome to Perfect Life! Now you can choose your own perfect life. "
Opening his eyes, Han Fei grinned at the eerie living room. "Why don't you give me a few more choices?"
The clock on the wall pointed at midnight. Han Fei picked up the cleaver from the ground and turned to look at the innermost bedroom of Room 1044.
In the whole of Room 1044, only that bedroom's door was closed.
Han Fei still did not have the courage to knock on the door. The 7 victims could only maintain their sanity when they were separated but when they were together, they would turn into a monster dominated by despair and pain.
"I'm done with the Beginner's Quest. Looks like I'll have to go out tonight."
Han Fei opened the mission interface. The original 3 new missions had disappeared and in their place was a new mission — Visit the neighbours on the 5th floor and greet them.
"Just by looking at the mission name, it really does look like a healing game." Han Fei scratched his head. "According to Meng Si, there's a crazy woman called Xu Qin who lives on the 5th floor. She's a good person and a good friend. Since I'm doing this quest, I might as well pay her a visit on the fifth floor. "
In real life, whenever Han Fei ran into someone he was not familiar with, he would avoid them as much as he could. However, in the game, he became more interested in making friends.
"I'm going to meet my new neighbor. What kind of gift should I give her?" Han Fei looked at the cleaver in his hand. "Never mind, I'll see her first."
After making the decision, Han Fei turned on the television. He wanted to see if he could lure his roommate out.
If his roommates helped him trigger the new mission, he wouldn't have to leave the warmth and safety of his home.
At 3 am, Han Fei stared at the television screen that had no signal for 3 hours. He pressed all the channels but there was still no sign of his roommate.
"Looks like I need to go out to do the mission." Han Fei picked up the cleaver and inspected his inventory. "The landlord's ring can detect ghosts and the landlord's keys should be able to open all the doors in this building. The problem is none of the keys have a serial number. I need to try them one by one. The landlord's diary is blank, I don't know what they can do. About the landlord's 3 cigarettes …"
Han Fei clicked on his inventory and took out the landlord's cigarettes.
'The landlord's 3 children offered him 3 cigarettes after the landlord's death. These cigarettes are consumables. I wonder what will happen after they are lit.'
"The initial sleeping mission and the increased difficulty of the sleeping mission can't be compared at all. If the difficulty is proportional to the reward, then this additional reward should be quite good."
Han Fei found a lighter in the kitchen. He decided to light a cigarette to calm himself down when he was in a desperate situation.
After arranging all the equipment, Han Fei walked to the front door. He looked around through the peephole. After ensuring there was no one around, he dared to open the door.
Throughout the whole process, Han Fei did not make a single sound.
The corridor was shrouded in darkness. Just looking at it was enough to send chills down one's spine.
'The newbie protection period is over, the ghosts might be more active than before. I need to be careful.'
To prevent the door from being closed, Han Fei moved a chair from the living room and stuck it in front of the door.
This way, he would not need to open the door when he returned, saving him time. Other than that, if any of the neighbors entered the house out of curiosity, they would have a meal together. However, they would be sitting on the chairs while the neighbors would be lying on the dining table.
Taking a deep breath, Han Fei crept out of Room 1044.
This was the first time Han Fei left the house since the newbie protection period was over. He could sense that something had changed inside the apartment.
His body felt like it was submerged in a viscous black ocean. His consciousness kept sinking.
Han Fei's palm touched the wall. His body stuck close to the wall. This way, he would not be seen by the people on the second floor.
Han Fei had not been to the fifth floor before. He moved slowly. It took him a whole minute to reach the space between the 4th and 5th floor.
Lifting his head up, Han Fei stopped moving.
There were 4 families living on the 5th floor. One of the doors was open and there was a black shadow standing in front of his door.
At 3 am, in the dead silence of the corridor, a person stood quietly in front of his own door. It was a creepy scene.
Han Fei did not dare move forward but the shadow that stood in the corridor seemed to have seen Han Fei. In the blink of an eye, the shadow disappeared.
'What was that thing?'
The shadow had disappeared but the door to the house was still open. Han Fei was worried that he would be dragged into the house by something.
The door was dark. It was impossible to see what was inside but it made Han Fei feel very uneasy.
'Xu Qin is staying in Room 1052 and the shadow was standing in Room 1051 …'
Han Fei moved his eyes to look at Room 1052. The courage that he had gathered earlier dissipated.
