Chapter 19 I, hardworking and positive
Han Fei did not accept Zhan Lele's gift. Although his social anxiety was not as serious as before, he was still not very good at interpersonal communication. Or it could be said that his interpersonal communication skills began to develop in another direction after being trained in a certain game.
After returning home, Han Fei had a big meal. He used to live frugally so that he could buy a house .
But after playing the healing game, his heart knot was directly untied. House? Money? These things are too vulgar!
Now he just wants to be able to quietly watch the sunrise every day and savor the beauty in life.
"Why didn't I realize that the food in the gourmet shop downstairs is so delicious before?"
After tidying up the table briefly, Han Fei stared blankly at the wall covered with photos of the victims.
"My monster roommate's biggest wish is to catch the murderer, but how can I face such a vicious murderer?"
"I'm just an 18th-tier actor, but the other party is a perverted killer with meticulous logic, good at disguise, and strong anti-reconnaissance awareness. He killed eight people and still managed to evade police searches! If I really find clues about the other party, will that guy kill me in real life?"
Han Fei's expression gradually turned worse. Investigating a murder case alone and gradually approaching the real murderer was not a cool thing. Instead, it was a very, very dangerous thing .
"I need to cooperate with the police, but I can't reveal the existence of the game. Besides, the more people know about me, the more likely it is that the killer will come to me."
"Now he is in the dark, and I am in the dark too, so we are all safe. If I go out into the light, he will definitely find a way to kill me."
Clenching his fists, Han Fei was very self-aware. He was now just a piece of trash with only 5 physical strength.
"I can quit the game, but not reality." Han Fei stood up from the sofa: "I can't be so decadent anymore ."
After opening the computer, Han Fei directly placed an order for metal tactical pens, batons, high-intensity flashlights, and electric shock devices.
Then he opened related websites and purchased a large number of courses on criminal psychology, self-defense, and survival teaching. In this era when paying for knowledge has become completely popular, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy truly useful knowledge.
"I wasted so much time before. I should make my life more fulfilling."
He is positive, exercises, and keeps learning outside of work. People who don't know the truth would probably think Han Fei is a very sunny and cheerful person.
After making a plan, Han Fei began to study seriously. He not only had to figure out the murderer's psychology, but also had to learn how to rescue the victim from despair. Both of these were related to his life.
At nearly midnight, Han Fei locked the doors and windows and put on his gaming helmet with some hesitation.
"I logged out on the third floor last time. I have to prevent that little ghost from guarding my body. I will run to the fourth floor directly after logging into the game!"
After connecting all the lines, when midnight arrived, the world in front of Han Fei turned blood red.
"Welcome to the perfect life! Now you can..."
Before the cold mechanical voice in his mind finished speaking, Han Fei opened his eyes. At that moment, his face turned very bad.
Han Fei's fingers were frozen by the coolness from the ring. He looked up and saw that the door on the third floor, which was originally covered with talisman paper, was half open. A child whose face could not be seen was sitting at the door!
"He's waiting for me!"
Goosebumps instantly appeared on Han Fei's skin. He thought that his psychological endurance had been greatly improved, but at this moment he realized that he was too naive. The horror of this underworld game had far exceeded his imagination.
"I haven't completed the mission yet , and I haven't stayed for three hours. If I am dragged into the room by that kid..." Han Fei didn't dare to think any further. He tried to move back, but as soon as he moved, the child raised his head.
In the dark corridor, Han Fei felt a chill on his back as he was stared at by a child whose face he couldn't see clearly.
"If I run upstairs as fast as I can, I should have a chance to reach the fourth floor. The problem is that I still have to open the door." Han Fei was almost in despair, but at this moment the child suddenly stood up.
When Han Fei was puzzled, the security door behind him was suddenly opened.
"Come in!"
A force pulled Han Fei back, as if to let him enter the house.
After hearing the familiar voice, Han Fei did not hesitate.
There was only one chance, so he quickly cooperated with the opponent and accelerated his retreat.
Watching the child start to crawl frantically, Han Fei retreated into the old lady's house by a hair's breadth.
“Bang!”
The security door was slammed shut, and the creepy sound of fingernails scratching continued to come from outside the door. Han Fei sat down on the ground, his back soaked with cold sweat.
"Are you okay?" Meng Shi coughed a few times and helped Han Fei up from the ground.
"Grandma, if you hadn't saved me this time, I would have been finished! Thank you!" Han Fei was sincerely grateful to her.
"Why did you suddenly come to the third floor?" Meng Shi looked very bad, and his health seemed to be getting worse.
"My house is haunted! And I have something else to ask you." Han Fei was not acting, his house was really haunted.
"Wait a moment, I'll see if the child has left." The old lady placed the red candle on the table next to the security door. The flames illuminated the wall. Only then did Han Fei realize that the lights were not on in the room.
The old man stared at the dancing flames and the shadows on the wall. After a long while, he spoke: "There is no shadow of the child. He didn't follow in."
"What's wrong with that kid? He looks so scary!" Han Fei finally recovered.
Meng Shi didn't say anything. He held the candle and walked tremblingly towards the inner room.
"Grandma, there was only a short time between the time I met the child and the time you opened the door. Were you standing at the door the whole time? Or did you just happen to see me?" Han Fei was confused. He knew that the old lady was not a bad person, but it was always better to be careful.
"I have been looking at the door opposite from inside the room." Meng Shi put the red candle on the table and sighed. The wrinkles on her face deepened again. "Chenchen is missing. I suspect he ran into the room opposite."
"Chenchen is missing?" Han Fei was also shocked.
"Hey, do you know why I always lock Chenchen into the bedroom?" The old lady sat down on the chair weakly.
"Why?" Han Fei was indeed very curious. He recalled the scene when he first came to the old man's house. At that time, the old man opened the lock on the bedroom door and called Chenchen to come out for dinner.
Han Fei almost forgot this detail, and now he realized that something was wrong.
"Because Chenchen always goes out to play with the non-existent child, I discovered a long time ago that Chenchen always says a strange name. He also often sits alone next to the door covered with talismans, constantly saying something, as if he is communicating with another child."
