The shadow next to the sofa had appeared at the bedroom door. Han Fei could make out the silhouette of a person. It was squatting on the floor with its head lowered.
Han Fei half knelt on the bed like he was petrified. The moldy red blanket was draped over his back.
"If I knew that this was a combat game or a puzzle game, I would've been mentally prepared, but the problem is that the shop owner and all the information on the internet said that this is a Healing game. Who the hell knows how to escape from a Healing game!"
He stared at the bedroom door without blinking. After a short pause, his brain began to work rapidly.
What had happened had already happened, it was pointless to think about why he could not quit the game, he had to survive within the rules!
To quit the game, he had to fulfill 2 conditions, one was to play for more than 3 hours and two was to complete at least 1 mission.
"I've already completed the task of installing the fuse at the granny's house. I remember when I entered the game and opened my eyes, the clock on the wall showed that it was midnight, and the last time I looked at my watch was 2: 44 am So I just need to find a way to buy myself at most 16 minutes to leave this place!"
Han Fei's mind had never been so clear before. He stared at the bedroom door. His muscles tensed and his fingers gripped the cleaver tightly.
'I've checked earlier, there's no one inside the bathroom and there's no place to hide. What the hell is this thing? Why would it open the bathroom door in the middle of the night? '
Han Fei only needed to survive the 16 minutes but how was he going to survive the next 16 minutes? Things were getting worse and worse. He had no idea whether the cleaver in his hand would be of any use or not. His grip on the cleaver was a form of psychological comfort.
Lying in bed in the middle of the night, Han Fei opened his eyes to see a person squatting next to the living room sofa and then the person running to the bedroom door. Just the thought of it made Han Fei's scalp tingle.
'Calm down! I have to calm down! '
Not being able to quit the game dealt a heavy blow to Han Fei. Before he could recover from the shock, he was hit by a sudden baptism of fear. Even Han Fei himself found it hard to believe that a normal person like him had not broken down after being hit so many times.
'The old lady said this place is unsafe, she should be referring to the person squatting on the floor. The other tenants have not moved out so this means this person rarely leaves the room. I should be temporarily safe if I escape.'
That was easier said than done. Han Fei stared at the blurry figure squatting at the bedroom door. He did not have the courage to approach it.
"No! The current situation had not reached the most desperate point yet! It blocked the door and refused to come over, so I could waste time with it. After 16 minutes, I would immediately quit the game. If it goes any further, I'll run out of the bedroom! "
His life was at stake. How could he care about a novice mission?
His line of sight slowly moved to the electronic clock on the living room wall. But before he could see what time it was, a bone-chilling cold surged into his heart!
Narrowing his eyes, Han Fei turned back to the bedroom door. The person who was squatting on the floor had disappeared.
At that moment, Han Fei made the most correct decision. He did not turn on the lights, he did not retreat, he did not look around for the person, instead, he jumped off the bed and sprinted towards the living room door!
He knew that the fellow had entered the bedroom. Staying here for even a second longer would be courting death. Rather than hoping to get lucky and curious about what the other party was, it was better to leave as soon as possible.
Han Fei felt that he had never run so fast in his life.
He rushed to the front door and pushed it open as fast as he could.
The sound of the door opening and closing caused the voice-activated lights to come on. The dim light shone into the room but Han Fei did not dare to turn back. He only glanced at the room from the corner of his eyes when he reached the bottom of the stairs.
Inside the deserted room, a person's limbs were twisted at an uncanny angle. If Han Fei had switched on the lights earlier, he would have caught a glimpse of the person's ghastly pale face!
Han Fei slammed the door shut, afraid that the person would chase after him. Soon he heard a creepy sound coming from inside the room, it sounded like someone was scratching at the door with their nails.
'That thing wants to come out?'
Not daring to stay any longer, Han Fei grabbed the cleaver and ran downstairs. He knew there was something wrong with the old man but compared to the unknown, the old man posed less of a threat to him.
When Han Fei reached the third floor, he was greeted by the familiar smell of meat again. He noticed the old man's door was half open and there were several black bags left at the door. The bags were different from the ones he saw in the fridge earlier.
Taking a few steps back, his body bumped into another door on the third floor. A cracked Bagua mirror fell from the door and almost hit him.
Turning around, Han Fei found that the door of this house was densely covered with talismans, which looked quite horrifying.
'Is there not a single normal person in this building?'
Han Fei's nerves were taut from the constant stimulation. At that moment, all the voice-activated lights in the corridor went off. No matter how loud he screamed, the lights did not come back on like they were broken.
In the silence, Han Fei could hear the door being slowly pushed open. Something was approaching from the darkness.
His heart raced. Han Fei ran down the stairs as fast as he could. He could feel something chasing after him in the dark.
Gritting his teeth, Han Fei rushed to the first floor. Then he realized the door was locked. He could not leave this building.
Waving his arms, Han Fei used the cleaver to hack at the door lock. It was not until darkness enveloped him that something appeared behind him.
His neck tightened. On the surface, Han Fei acted like he had lost his mind. He hacked at the lock repeatedly but in reality, all his attention was on the character menu.
Coldness seeped into his body. Han Fei lost his grip on the cleaver. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, the grey exit button finally lit up.
The 3 hours were up!
'Exit!'
Bang!
A loud bang echoed in his mind. The world spun and pain radiated from the deepest part of his brain.
Resisting the pain, the moment he regained control of his body, he yanked the gaming helmet off and slammed it heavily on the table.
Night fell. The projection on the wall showed that it was 3.01 am.
Han Fei entered the game during the day but when he returned to real life, it was already midnight.
Exhaustion washed over him. Even now, Han Fei still felt surreal, like he was still inside the game.
"Notification for Player 0000! You've completed your first game in Perfect Life: First Edition, please speed up your exploration! "
The robotic voice rang in his mind. When Han Fei heard it, he froze to the spot. He was sure that the voice had appeared directly in his mind after he removed the gaming helmet.
'How is this possible?'
"Notification for Player 0000! You've completed your first game, please start your second game within 24 hours! "
'Why is there such a voice in my head?' Han Fei rubbed the back of his head. He picked up the heavy gaming helmet again. It was then that he noticed the helmet was stained with blood.
Thinking back carefully, Han Fei vaguely remembered that after he put on the helmet, something seemed to have pierced into his head.
'This is attempted murder, right?' Han Fei took out his phone to call the police. But just as he was about to, the voice in his mind rang again.
"Notification for Player 0000! Please do not reveal the game content to anyone or the black box will explode inside your brain. You will die in 0.01 seconds. "
