Fresh blood slid down the corner of Xu Qin's lips. Her finger was bitten but she did not feel any pain.
Han Fei's words seemed to trigger the deepest memory in her mind. Her expression turned crazier and crazier.
Looking at Xu Qin, staring at her face and listening to her repeating words, Han Fei suddenly felt the name 'Xu Qin' was familiar.
He tried to think back. When he was looking for information about the human jigsaw case, he came across another case from 10 years ago.
The manager of Immortal Pharma's new clinical trial was poisoned to death by her own younger brother. The manager's name was Xu Qin.
The elder sister and younger brother depended on each other since they were young. To take care of the younger brother, the elder sister did not start a family. She devoted herself to her work.
The neighbors all thought that the siblings had a good relationship. Who would have thought that the younger brother would poison his sister in the end?
The crime was a clumsy one but the elder sister never suspected her younger brother. She finished the food on the table.
The case was solved 10 years ago. The elder sister died of natural causes and the younger brother was sentenced to death.
In Xin Lu's old city where they used to live, there was a very famous ghost story. Whenever one brought food to the house at the corner of Northern Street, they might run into a crazy woman with a knife. She would cough blood and shed tears. Then she would gobble down the food and the people who brought it.
'Are these two Xu Qins the same person?'
Han Fei studied the woman before him as well. He remembered Xu Qin had once told him that the name she had been using recently was Xu Qin.
The woman staying in Room 1052 might not be Xu Qin. Perhaps she possessed many memories and was a collection of curses. Xu Qin was just one of them.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Han Fei did not panic. He leaned forward to say, "If you're not feeling well, you should go back to your room. I'll go lure the people from the 6th floor out."
The real target that night was the non-locals on the 6th floor. Han Fei wanted to use them to calm Xu Qin down.
The bloody lips exuded a sickly beauty. Xu Qin's pale fingers subconsciously touched her face. "Someone is hiding. I can't remember, I can't remember …"
"That person might be on the sixth floor, but if you come with me, they will be afraid." Han Fei's smile was pure and clean, like the boy next door who had nothing on his mind. "From now on, you can just leave these side jobs to me."
With the ability to quit the game at any time, Han Fei became more confident and courageous. He sent Xu Qin back to Room 1052 and then headed to the 6th floor with the cocoon.
Walking down the stairs alone, the smile on Han Fei's face slowly disappeared. He wanted to smile from the bottom of his heart but since a long time ago, he had lost his ability to smile.
He could put on all kinds of smiles, but they were not smiles of joy and happiness.
Slowly moving his body along the dark corridor, this was the first time Han Fei came to the 6th floor. This was a new breakthrough for him.
'The building manager used to stay on the 10th floor. There should be something very important hidden inside his room. If I want to get to the bottom of this, I need to find a way to get to the top floor.'
Compared to the other floors, the sixth floor was very messy. There were all kinds of rubbish and sundries piled up in the corridors, and broken flower pots were placed on the stairs.
"These outsiders really have no manners. The flower pots are placed on the steps. What if they hit someone?"
Han Fei slowed down. He lowered his head to move the pot away. Suddenly he noticed red threads tangled around the wilted plant inside the pot. At the end of the thread was a small brass bell.
'Red threads and bells? Can they ward off evil spirits? '
Han Fei moved the pot closer to the wall. Strangely enough, no matter how hard Han Fei tried to touch the red threads, the bells would not ring. It was as if the red threads and bells were not used to ward off living people.
'Finally, I've reached the 6th floor.'
Standing amid the pile of trash, Han Fei looked at the 4 rooms on the 6th floor. He had no idea which room was occupied so he knocked on the door of Room 1064.
"Is anyone there? I'm the neighbour downstairs. "
The knocking echoed down the corridor but no one came to open the door for Han Fei.
'If you've done nothing wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. These people are probably hiding something.'
If it was the other neighbors of the building, they would have all kinds of scruples and would not dare to make too much noise, afraid that they would become a target.
But Han Fei was different. When he first logged into the game, he was as cautious as a mouse. His every step was like walking on thin ice. But after he completed the mission and was granted the freedom to exit the game, his heart underwent a beautiful transformation. To put it simply, he had nothing to fear. Unless the ghost could follow him back to the real world, he would not hesitate to challenge any ghost.
'If you refuse to open the door, I'll keep knocking. I know you're home, don't just hide inside the room.'
The corridor became darker and darker. Han Fei's knocking had caused some kind of change inside the apartment. It was as if something that was sleeping was slowly waking up.
The neighbours on the 6th floor were probably very nervous. They hoped that Han Fei would leave as soon as possible but Han Fei kept knocking on the door like a madman.
Actually Han Fei was quite nervous as well. As he paid attention to the landlord's ring, he perked up his ears to listen.
Soon after that, a small sound came from Room 1064. It confirmed that there was someone inside.
When Han Fei heard the sound coming from Room 1064, he was like a shark that smelled blood. He bit down on the person and his voice became even more hysterical.
"Hello, neighbour from Room 1064 on the 6th floor! I know you're home! I happened to run into one of your family members, he has something for me to bring to you! "
"Neighbour from Room 1064, are you home? Did you leave all these things in the corridor? Why are there blood stains and red strings on them? "
Han Fei's words never strayed away from Room 1064. The people inside the room were being roasted over a fire. If this continued, all the ghosts and monsters inside the building would remember this room number and it would be impossible for them to keep a low profile.
"Neighbour from Room 1064, please open the door. You don't want me to knock on your door every night, do you?"
Han Fei's last sentence seemed to scare the man. If there was really a madman knocking on his door every night at 3 or 4 am, it would be a big problem.
The lock twisted and the door slid open slightly. A pair of bloodshot eyes glared at Han Fei with exhaustion and anger. "What the f * ck is wrong with you?"
"How can you talk to me like that? I'm here to do a good deed. Is one of your family members missing? " Han Fei did not carry any knives on him and he gave off the impression of a weak scholar. The neighbour on the 6th floor thought he was a madman with no fighting ability.
"No."
