'It's the same footsteps again!'
Han Fei immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to hide inside Room 1062.
He leaned against the door and studied the corridor outside through the peephole.
'Even Xu Qin is unwilling to face the owner of the footsteps. Just how scary can it be?'
The footsteps picked up speed. The ring on Han Fei's finger started to emit a bone-chilling chill. The thing was coming!
Holding his breath, Han Fei maintained his posture. He wanted to see what the thing looked like.
The footsteps stopped on the 6th floor. The chill from the landlord's ring almost froze Han Fei's fingers.
Han Fei knew the thing was at the door but he could not see anything through the peephole. The corridor was dark, not even a ghost could be seen.
'An invisible neighbour?'
Han Fei did not know what the thing looked like, he only knew it existed. The horror of the unknown was even scarier.
'Could it be looking at me through the peephole as well?'
Han Fei was startled by the sudden thought. He curled up behind the door and did not dare to make a sound.
Outside the door, it was as quiet as usual. If not for the landlord's ring, Han Fei would have thought that the person had left.
'The ghost is still waiting for me at the door!'
The two of them waited for 15 minutes before the footsteps returned. The ghost had left.
"What the hell is he?" It's invisible but it's real and it makes those strange footsteps. '
After the ring stopped emitting the chill, Han Fei silently pushed open the door. He hurried to open the door to Room 1063.
He searched all the rooms on the 6th floor and the system notification appeared in his mind.
"Notification for Player 0000! Grade G Main Mission: Explore 6th floor completed. Obtained basic reward: 1 Free Skill Point.
"Notification for Player 0000! You've successfully reached level 5! Obtained 1 Free Attribute Point! "
After the mission was completed, Han Fei sighed in relief. He added the attribute point to stamina and the skill point to acting.
Now his stamina was at level 8 and his acting was at intermediate level 7. It wouldn't be long before he broke through to advanced level.
'After the increase in stamina, my physical attributes have increased as well. Even in real life, I should be a good fighter now, right?'
Han Fei swung his fists. He compared himself to the scarred outsider that he had encountered earlier. 'My speed is about the same as the scarred outsider, but my stamina is still lacking. If I level up a few more times, the next time I encounter a similar murderer, he'll be the one running away. "
After confirming that he could exit the game freely, Han Fei started to complete the Human Jigsaw Mission.
The most difficult part of this Grade-F mission was that the player had to search for the corpse puzzle in the entire apartment building. If they were not careful, they might provoke something scary.
But things were different for Han Fei. He had figured out the location of the remaining body parts in real life. Based on the information left behind by Meng Changxi, he easily found the 3 pieces of the 'puzzle'.
It was called a jigsaw puzzle, but it was actually the mutilated body parts of the victims.
According to the system's appraisal, other than the lingering curses and resentment on these mutilated body parts, there seemed to be some special emotions hidden within.
"I've already found the easy ones. As for the remaining four pieces, two are on the eighth floor, and the other two are on the ninth floor. I haven't been there yet."
"After exiting the game today, there's only one day left for this mission. It's almost impossible to enter the eighth and ninth floors in one day to find all four pieces of the puzzle. "
Han Fei took in a deep breath. "If I don't want to fail the mission, I need to find more pieces today."
This was his first time accepting a higher level mission, the reward was bound to be good. Han Fei did not want to give up so easily.
While he could still exit the game, he decided to go to the 8th floor to take a look.
'Meng Si did warn me about the staircase between the 7th and 8th floor. If I go there after midnight, I might end up in a different place and see something special.'
Han Fei cautiously made his way to the 7th floor. The door to Room 1064 was closed but it was not locked.
'Who closed the door? The owner of the strange footsteps? It doesn't want to look at itself in the mirror? '
The thing that the opponent was unwilling to do might be its weakness.
'Could it be that the mirror can reflect it?'
Han Fei noticed this detail. However, his relationship with the mirror on the 7th floor had worsened. If he dared to show himself before the mirror, the ghost would probably crawl out of it in anger.
'Take it slow, there's no hurry.'
Han Fei stopped at the staircase between the 7th and 8th floor. He noticed a large amount of blood stains on the staircase.
'Many people have died on this staircase.'
Han Fei tried to step on the staircase between the 7th and 8th floor. He did not feel anything out of place. He moved up step by step, but the smell of blood thickened in the air.
"Gulp!"
Suddenly, a sound came from beside him. Then, Han Fei heard shrill laughter.
'Why does the sound come from beside me?'
Han Fei had a habit of leaning against the wall. When he turned to look, his face paled.
The mottled wall was painted with some strange drawings. Several young people were tugging on the arms and legs of a middle-aged man like they were trying to tear him apart.
'It's the young people on the wall who are laughing?'
Han Fei turned to look at the few young people. When he moved his gaze, he saw one of the young people on the wall turn his head. He seemed to be sneaking a glance at Han Fei.
His heart skipped a beat but Han Fei did not show any anxiety on his face. He pretended not to hear the strange voice and ran up to the 8th floor.
'The apartment is haunted, the staircase is haunted, now even the staircase and walls are no longer safe.'
After Han Fei left the staircase, the smell of blood dissipated. He turned back to look at the wall but there was nothing there.
'Could it be that there are ghosts on the wall as well? They will steal away the souls of passersby? But why would they only appear between the 7th and 8th floor? '
Han Fei was lucky this time but he could not guarantee that he would be so lucky every time. 'It's too dangerous to have such a hidden danger in the staircase. Should I try to burn the wall down? I just don't know where I can find gasoline or something like that. "
Han Fei slowly made his way to the door of Room 1084. The 'puzzle' he was looking for was hidden inside this room.
Grabbing the doorknob, Han Fei pushed slightly and the door opened.
'It's not locked?'
Han Fei was a little surprised, but before he came back to his senses, the weird footsteps appeared again.
This time, he could hear it clearly. The sound came from the 9th floor, right above his head!
