When an actor ran into a con artist, both sides exchanged pleasantries. It was like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
Han Fei chatted with the ghost for about half a minute. The ghost's behavior became more natural and friendly but he refused to turn around. There were a few times when he almost turned around but he stopped at the crucial moment.
Slowly, the ghost behind Han Fei became impatient.
'You're already calling me brother but you don't even have the courage to turn around to look at me. Aren't you lying to me?'
The familiar voice slowly disappeared but Han Fei was not done yet. He called out a few more times but there was no response. His expression slowly shifted. 'You're angry?'
The corridor was dead silent. The ghost behind Han Fei knew that words could not tempt Han Fei to turn around. It appeared to have changed its strategy.
It was at that moment that the ring on Han Fei's finger started to emit a chill. The ghost behind him shed its disguise.
The chill on his fingertips continued to grow. Han Fei could not gauge the ghost's power level. His body instinctively tried to move forward to increase the distance between them but the ghost refused to budge.
To make matters worse, Han Fei felt his body getting heavier like something was pressing down on him.
As the chill spread through his body, Han Fei smelled a faded stench. This was the first time he had encountered such a stench. It smelled like something rotting. Just the slightest whiff of it was enough to make his stomach churn.
Drip drip drip …
The viscous liquid dripped on his back. Han Fei felt something strangling his neck. The ghost seemed to know it could not use words to tempt him to turn around so it prepared to make a move.
Breathing became difficult. Han Fei's face flushed. He was reminded of this familiar feeling.
When he logged into Perfect Life for the first time, he was spooked by the ghosts at the haunted house. Then he ran for his life.
He ran all the way to the first floor. At that moment, the voice-activated lights suddenly went off and the corridor was plunged into darkness.
Then something followed him from the darkness and strangled his neck just like that.
Han Fei slowly sorted it out. The victims at the haunted house did not harm him and they never left the haunted house. The one who wanted to strangle him should be this ghost that was following him now.
'Why does this thing want me to turn around? Will I become his scapegoat when I turn around and see his face? "
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he was. When he logged into the game for the first time, he was scared out of his wits and only cared about running away. In the end, he logged off right in front of the enemy.
"If the ghost following me is really the ghost that wanted to kill me, then it probably knows that I'm a living person, so it's understandable that it wants to capture me as a scapegoat."
Even though his neck was deformed, Han Fei's mind was unprecedentedly clear. He knows that I'm a living person and has seen me log off. I can't let this ghost live.
Even though Weep had seen Han Fei log off before, Han Fei had managed to scare him away. Weep was just a child, he was not as cunning as this ghost that was following him.
The best way to deal with such a cunning ghost was to let the other ghosts consume him.
Han Fei could not turn back now so it was impossible to bring the ghost back to the haunted house.
Thinking back, when the ghost followed him, the first thing he did was to close the door to the haunted house. This proved that the ghost knew how dangerous the haunted house was and would not follow Han Fei into the haunted house.
Since Han Fei could not lure the ghost into the haunted house, he would have to rely on the other ghosts inside the building. While he still had some energy left, Han Fei headed up the stairs.
Breathing became more difficult. Han Fei tried his best to reach the 5th floor. He wanted to ask for help from his neighbour.
"Xu Qin …"
His shoes stepped on the blood stain on the ground. Han Fei stumbled. He gripped the doorknob of Room 1052 and called Xu Qin's name.
Xu Qin was not related to him, Han Fei knew the chance of her saving him was low but he had no other choice.
Han Fei knocked on the door. The sound was loud but the voice-activated lights did not come on like they were broken. This confirmed Han Fei's suspicion.
When he logged into the game for the first time, he had encountered something similar in the stairwell.
The chill from the ring intensified. Han Fei realized he had underestimated the ghost behind him. Based on the chill from the ring, this ghost was already as powerful as the 2 human jigsaw case victims.
To make matters worse, the chill from the ring continued to intensify.
"Is anyone there?!"
Han Fei started to knock on the door. Now was not the time to be polite. If he did not make some noise, he would be killed by the ghost behind him.
Normally, Han Fei would not have dared to do this but now he just wanted to stir up some trouble and attract some ghosts to help him.
He made a loud noise on the 5th floor but the tenants on the 5th floor did not show any signs of opening their doors. Instead, it was the sound of the doorknobs turning on the other floors.
Han Fei was out of breath. Left with no choice, he turned to look at Room 1051.
The shadow was initially standing in the stairwell but it had disappeared. However, the door to Room 1051 was still open.
Moving quickly, Han Fei moved to the door to Room 1051.
Han Fei could not see anything inside the darkened room but the room radiated an alarming malice. It was as if once one entered the room, they would never be able to come out again.
'Meng Si did not mention Room 1051 in her message, so this room shouldn't be that scary!'
Han Fei could not care less now. He strode towards Room 1051.
Half of Han Fei's body was already inside Room 1051. Suddenly, the ghost behind him shrieked. Its 10 pale fingers curled around Han Fei's neck like fish hooks. It tried to yank Han Fei out of the room.
Pain radiated from his neck. Just as Han Fei felt like his neck was about to snap, the amulet hanging before his chest cracked and shattered.
An extreme chill exploded from the amulet. The fingers around Han Fei's neck bounced off and Han Fei successfully entered Room 1051.
Darkness enveloped everything. After Han Fei entered Room 1051, the darkness in the room thickened. It was as if all the light that entered would be consumed.
A bone-chilling chill came from the ring. Inside Room 1051, a pair of red eyes slowly opened.
Staring at the sickly eyes in the darkness, Han Fei's body shivered but he still waved in a friendly manner. "I live below you. This is the first time I've come to visit you. I didn't think it was a good idea to come empty-handed so I carried a ghost with me."
