Zooming in on the picture, Han Fei still could not make out what the blurry shadow was. He stared at the screen blankly as his brain worked furiously.
'The person purposely took this picture probably to tell me something or else they wouldn't have used my phone to take this picture and they wouldn't have kept this picture in my phone.
'But why would they do that? Could it be that they can't communicate with me or will they only appear when I'm playing the game? Is this their way of giving me a hint? '
The more Han Fei thought about it, the more confused he became. The picture chilled his scalp, even the joy of realizing his dream was washed away.
'My phone is unlocked with my fingerprint. He did move my body but he did not harm me. The person who took this picture shouldn't be trying to harm me. Furthermore, this picture was taken the day after I started playing the game. If he wanted to harm me, he could've killed me right then and there. '
'Could it be the tomb keeper from the secondhand shop who came to take this picture?'
Han Fei had a feeling things were not that simple. He had noticed the many problems with the black box. 'Many people are looking for the black box, the original developer of Perfect Life and the madman Butterfly. Perhaps I'll run into more strange and scary people in the future.'
Those people were looking for the black box but the black box was inside Han Fei's brain. If they wanted to get their hands on the black box, they would have to crack open Han Fei's brain.
His fingers tightened. Han Fei was reminded of the system's warning when he quit the game for the first time, to speed up his exploration.
'The black box is inside my brain. Even if I quit the game, I won't be able to get rid of it. All I can do now is explore the game and level up. Perhaps the truth is hidden inside the game.'
Han Fei stared at the gaming helmet on the table. Suddenly, there was a knock on his door.
He was startled. He hid the fruit knife behind him and snuck to the door.
Looking through the peephole, Han Fei saw Li Xue standing at his door.
Putting the fruit knife away, Han Fei's expression returned to normal as he opened the door. "Why are you here? Did your boss give you permission to return to the unit? "
"I wish to return but now my boss has given me a new mission." Li Xue entered the room and closed the door. "He said before the Butterfly is captured, he wants me to stay at the police station. I need not do anything else but focus on patrolling your street."
"He wants you to protect me?"
"Something like that. You're now a key protected target. The surroundings may look the same as usual, but the security is tight. If the butterfly dares to show itself, it will definitely be caught. " Li Xue picked up the glass on the table and gulped down several mouthfuls of water. "I'm here to inform you. Other than that, there are new surveillance cameras installed in this apartment. If you're in danger, just run to the spot with the cameras and wave. The police on duty will come to your aid."
"Thank you so much." Han Fei happened to be feeling insecure at the moment, the police's protection made him feel much better.
"Of course." Li Xue gave Han Fei the location of the surveillance cameras and then left.
"The police's protection is beneficial to me. At least I can play games in peace."
Han Fei glanced at the clock on the wall. It was still early. He picked up the book on the table and started to study.
When it was almost midnight, Han Fei started to think about the layout of the apartment building in the game. 'When I logged out last time, I had already left Room 1074. After logging in, all I need to do is run down the stairs.'
Han Fei rehearsed several times in his mind. After memorizing every move, he connected the wires and put on the gaming helmet.
Blood descended. Han Fei did not wait for the notification to ring in his mind. The moment he opened his eyes, he sprinted down the stairs like a leopard.
Without turning back, he ran all the way to Room 1044.
He sighed in relief when he entered the room.
'The mirror on the 7th floor isn't guarding the body, looks like he's a decent person.'
After closing the door, Han Fei moved to the bedroom closest to the living room and lay down comfortably on the bed.
'I'll rest for an hour and then use the next hour to memorize the books I've read at home. Then I'll practice my fighting skills for another hour.'
Han Fei did not lie down to sleep but to think. He thought about all the things that needed to be done and the questions in his mind. He desperately needed answers.
After the first 3 hours, Han Fei opened the menu. He first added the skill point he gained from the hidden mission into acting. Then he turned to the mission menu.
'I still have 2 days left for Grade F Mission — Human Jigsaw Puzzle. If I can complete this mission, it'll be immensely beneficial to me.' Han Fei took out the landlord's spare key from his inventory. 'I have the keys to all the rooms in this building but they are not labeled. I'll need to try them one by one and that will waste a lot of time. It's too dangerous to stay in the corridors. If only I can convince Xu Qin to come with me.'
'Other than the Human Jigsaw Puzzle Mission, there's also a G Main Mission: Explore the 6th floor. The non-locals on the 6th floor should be dead by now. I'll complete this mission first. After I'm free to exit the game, I'll go search for the other human jigsaw puzzles scattered around the apartment. '
Han Fei knew how to use the rules of the game to protect himself. While he did not take the risk, he could still maximize his reward.
After he was ready, Han Fei left Room 1044 without wasting any more time.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the apartment building seemed to have become a little quieter.
'Did any of the neighbours move away while I was away?'
Han Fei leaned against the wall and slowly made his way to the 5th floor. He was disappointed to find that Xu Qin had not returned yet.
'Don't tell me something happened to her? She hasn't been home for 2 days already! '
Han Fei knocked on the door but there was no answer. He had no choice but to head to the 6th floor alone.
Most of the non-locals on the 6th floor had died due to the hunt for Han Fei, so the 6th floor was relatively safe.
'When I was doing the Explore the 5th floor mission, I had to visit all 4 rooms to complete the mission. This Explore the 6th floor mission should be more or less the same.'
Han Fei took out the landlord's spare key. He controlled his breathing and tried the keys one by one.
Throughout the process, Han Fei did not make a sound.
Perhaps it was the effect of his high luck value, Han Fei managed to open the door to Room 1061 after a few tries. He saw plenty of blood stains and torture tools inside the room.
"Xu Qin is right, these outsiders can't even be considered human."
After about 10 minutes, Han Fei had 'cleared' Room 1061 and 1062. He had taken away everything that the system could identify, including some poison concocted by the feminine man and blood bags used to speed up the growth of the human cocoon.
Han Fei had been to Room 1064 before, now he only needed to enter Room 1063 to complete the exploration mission.
