Chapter 23 My Game of Hide and Seek
Han Fei now has only the old man as his friend in the entire building. He has worked very hard to raise Meng Shi's friendliness. If something happens to him, all his previous efforts will be in vain.
"I've trapped you in crying. Logically, that room should be safe. Could it be that Chenchen isn't in room 1034?"
Han Fei picked up the kitchen knife and ran to the third floor. The security door covered with talisman paper was completely opened, but the old man was nowhere to be seen.
"Grandma? Chenchen?" Han Fei stretched his hand wearing the landlord's ring into the house. The ring on his hand did not react much, which meant that the house was safe.
After hesitating for a moment, he slowly entered room 1034 and looked at the shabby furniture in the room.
There were talisman papers everywhere in Room 1034, on the floor, walls, and ceiling. The whole room seemed to be sealed with talisman papers.
"This looks too weird! The haunted house I live in isn't this outrageous!"
Han Fei was very cautious: "Something is wrong. The kid who came to play at my house didn't seem that strong. He is not worthy of such a scene. There may be other things in the house."
Although the ring did not react, Han Fei decided to leave. But when he moved back, he suddenly found that the door of Room 1034 had been closed by someone.
Cold sweat broke out instantly, and Han Fei froze in place: "No way?"
He had just locked the child in the bedroom, but now he was locked in room 1034. What goes around comes around. Han Fei was devastated.
"What should we do? Should we ask Wei Youfu to bring the child here to exchange for hostages? The key is that Wei Youfu and his men will not listen to me! Besides, the child may have been reincarnated by now."
Standing there, Han Fei twisted the door handle with his last hope. The security door was not locked, but he just couldn't open it.
"You really have no shame at all. You are a ghost and still playing dirty tricks."
After stopping at the door for more than ten seconds, Han Fei finally calmed down.
"The landlord's ring still hasn't felt cold, which is probably the only good news right now."
There are bad things in the room, but the other party did not reveal it and hid it for some reason.
Han Fei knew that he couldn't leave for the time being, so his mind began to work rapidly, and he glanced around the room.
"The windows are completely boarded up and covered with talismans. It seems that jumping out of the window is not an option. Room 1034 is right below the haunted house where I live. If I make a big noise here, the residents in the building should react."
Han Fei quietly moved his sight towards the kitchen and glanced at the gas stove. "No one has lived in this house for a long time. The gas is probably out of service. Even if it's not out of service, if there's a big explosion, I'll definitely be the first to die."
Han Fei thought of all the methods he could think of, and finally found helplessly that he seemed unable to escape no matter what.
"I can leave the game now, but the problem is that after I leave the game, the next time I log in, I will still be in this room, and then I won't be able to escape."
Cheer up, Han Fei decided to explore the room carefully while he could exit the game at any time.
Since there is no way to escape, just take one step forward and see how it goes.
Han Fei covered his neck with the pendant given by the old man and moved slowly in the living room.
He didn't dare to make any sound and moved as slowly as possible.
This room covered with talisman paper is really a bit scary. There are white rice grains scattered on the ground, and there are things like altars in the corners. Occasionally, torn paper figures can be seen.
Those broken faces were smeared with all kinds of paint, which made people shudder just by looking at them.
"What happened in Room 1034 before? Why was that child crying?"
Thinking about something, Han Fei pushed open the bedroom door.
The old, rusty door hinges made creaking sounds. Just as Han Fei was about to enter the house , a blindfolded child hugged his waist.
"Got you!"
"Chenchen?" Han Fei stared at the blindfolded child at the door, then looked into the bedroom. Meng Shi had fainted on the ground, her tattered coat covered with the child's handprints.
"I finally caught you!"
Chenchen laughed happily, but Han Fei raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head: "You still want to play here?"
After pulling off the cloth covering Chenchen's eyes, Han Fei realized the problem. There was only white in Chenchen's eyes. He looked like he was possessed by an evil spirit. He looked very scary.
"I caught you! It's your turn to be a ghost! It's your turn to be a ghost...it's your turn to be a ghost!"
Chenchen kept repeating this sentence, his voice getting louder and louder, and gradually an echo appeared in the room, as if someone else was repeating this sentence.
Han Fei wanted to cover Chen Chen's mouth, but even if he covered Chen Chen's mouth, the sound still appeared in the room. What was worse was that the ring on Han Fei's hand began to emit a chill!
The ghost is coming!
A cold breath came from everywhere. Han Fei protected Chenchen and the unconscious Meng Shi behind him and turned his head to look around.
"It's your turn to be a ghost, it's your turn to be a ghost..."
The altar in the corner was turned over, wet handprints appeared on the wall, and the paper face on the ground seemed to be smiling happily.
Soon Han Fei saw a pale hand reaching out from the closet, followed by half a pale little face.
Footsteps were heard in the empty living room, a round head popped out from behind the TV, and a little girl with a ponytail crawled out from behind the sofa.
Creepy sounds continued to be heard. From the shoe cabinet, the kitchen, the canvas, the curtains, and the quilts, children with pale skin and only the whites of their eyes slowly crawled out.
Han Fei was having trouble breathing, his legs were weak, and he leaned against the wall to avoid falling.
These children seem to be the missing children in the community. There are so many of them, so many that it makes people’s scalp numb!
The air in the room had frozen, and all the children looked at Han Fei.
This suffocating scene almost killed Han Fei. His heart was about to jump out of his throat.
The children's voices gradually became quieter, and an unpleasant cry sounded in the room. Following the sound, Han Fei found a dark shadow squatting in the corner of the room.
The dark figure was not tall and he was different from the other children in the room.
"He's the one who's really crying?"
One by one, the children entered the bedroom, holding blindfolds, staring straight into Han Fei's eyes, repeating "It's your turn to be a ghost."
Han Fei didn't agree. At this time, one of the children suddenly pounced on Han Fei, and his sharp nails pierced Han Fei's eyes directly!
If you don't want to wear the cloth strip, then you have to blind your eyes?
A pair of small hands grabbed Han Fei's clothes, preventing him from moving. Now Han Fei could only watch the fingers continue to grow bigger in his pupils.
Everything seemed to be destined, but just as Han Fei felt the pain, the amulet on his neck suddenly made a crisp sound, and a cold breath burst out instantly.
“Bang!”
The child who was about to dig out Han Fei's eyes fell to the ground, holding his broken fingers and crying loudly. The other children were frightened and let go of their hands.
"Was it grandma's amulet that saved me?" Han Fei looked down and saw that the amulet on his neck was already full of cracks. It would probably break if used again.
"What should I do? The other party will discover the secret of the amulet sooner or later! I must find a way to escape as soon as possible!"
A faint crying sound came into my ears. The dark shadow had entered the bedroom at some point. It seemed to represent the darkness and coldness of the entire room. It was the real "crying"!
When the other children did not dare to step forward, it stared at Han Fei silently, then picked up the blindfold on the ground and stretched the cloth in front of Han Fei.
Meng Shi's amulet can only be used once at most. Han Fei knows that even if he refuses to "cry", he cannot change his situation. Every nerve in his body is tense, and he knows very well that this is the most critical moment.
Han Fei did not reach out to take the "crying" cloth, nor did he refuse to play hide-and-seek. After thinking for a moment, an evil and cruel smile slowly appeared on his face.
Han Fei squatted down and put his face in front of the shadow: "Ordinary hide-and-seek is boring , why don't we play something big."
With one hand in his pocket, Han Fei's slightly sick face showed a trace of obsession, and his eyes were full of uncontrollable excitement: "In normal hide-and-seek, one ghost catches everyone. Today, how about we do the opposite? All of you ghosts catch me alone!"
With the corners of his mouth raised, Han Fei's face was almost close to the shadow: "I'm betting my life. If you can find me within an hour, you can do whatever you want with my life. If you can't find me, then you have to help me do three things."
Malice and madness burned in his eyes, and the cold aura that had just erupted from the amulet had not yet completely dissipated. At this moment, Han Fei made the little ghosts feel that they were a kindred spirit.
The room gradually became quiet. No one knew how long it had passed before the black shadow nodded. He then led all the little ghosts in the room out of the bedroom.
Han Fei also took Meng Shi and Chen Chen with him and followed them out. He placed Meng Shi and Chen Chen at the door of the living room, with a more perverted smile on his face, and his body seemed to be shaking with excitement. "If you can't find me in this house, you can also go to other neighbors' homes in this building. This is my hint for you."
When all the ghosts and shadows turned around, Han Fei walked to the door of the living room. He turned the door handle again, but the door still could not be opened.
"What an interesting bunch of kids." Han Fei looked down at all the children in the room and said, "Remember the bet between us and try your best to find me!"
With the most cruel and evil expression, he laughed unscrupulously: "Now, the game begins!"
Opening the properties panel, Han Fei chose to exit the game.
The world turned blood red and the sky and the earth spun. When Han Fei opened his eyes again, he took off his gaming helmet.
His whole body was soaked with sweat. Han Fei grabbed his hair desperately, his eyes red.
"It's over, it's over, I've gone too far this time!"
