Chapter 26: Exclusive Ability Hide and Seek
Suppressed madness, hint of morbidity, those scarlet eyes seemed to radiate malice every moment.
The thin body swayed slightly. Having lost both arms and his companion, the already weak crying distanced itself from Han Fei.
"You? Why are you so far away from me?" Han Fei half-squatted on the ground, looking at the crying girl standing in the corner, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes: "Don't you want to be friends with me? We can play all kinds of games every day, we..."
Before he finished speaking, Han Fei suddenly heard the sound of a spring flickering behind him, and the tightly closed security door was opened.
When he turned around again, the dark shadow standing in the corner had disappeared, and only a broken altar remained on the ground.
"You won't even talk to me?"
Standing up, Han Fei's face was full of pain, and he gathered the fragments of the altar together.
"My name is Han Fei, and I live upstairs from you. If you want someone to play with you, you can come visit anytime."
Han Fei did not leave immediately. He walked quietly in the room as if he was going to cry.
He opened one door after another, and finally saw the unconscious Meng Shi and Chen Chen next to the overturned bed in the bedroom.
After helping the two of them up, Han Fei walked out of room 1034.
He closed the door of Room 1034. The cold wind from the corridor blew on his face. Han Fei realized at this time that he could hardly move. Both his mind and body had reached their limits.
Han Fei endured the pain and found the key on Meng Shi, then sent the grandfather and grandson back to the room.
After closing the security door, Han Fei turned on all the lights in the room. The cold mechanical synthesized voice rang in his mind.
"Player No. 0000, please note! The G-level hidden mission "Find Chenchen" has been completed! Meng Shi's friendship level has increased by 30! Basic reward - one free skill point has been added!"
"Attention! The rewards for completing different hidden missions will be different! Not only did you find Chenchen, you also successfully rescued him, and the mission completion rate is over 100%! Double experience! Additional hidden mission unique reward - exclusive skill hide and seek."
"Hide and Seek (exclusive passive skill, cannot be upgraded with skill points): You are a master at playing hide and seek. When you are hiding, your presence will be minimized, and ghosts can easily ignore your existence. When you are looking for others, your five senses will be strengthened, and you will notice details that are easily overlooked."
"Player No. 0000, please note! You have successfully upgraded to Level 3! Free attribute points increased by one!"
"Player No. 0000, please note! You have reached level 3! The chat room function is now open!"
Staring at the task panel, Han Fei finally relaxed. Although this mission was dangerous, the rewards were quite generous.
Not only did he level up directly to level three, but he also gained an exclusive skill: hide-and-seek.
Just looking at the skill introduction, it doesn't seem to have any direct effect, but for Han Fei now, this skill is very important. When dodging, it can reduce the probability of being discovered by ghosts, and when looking for clues, the five senses are strengthened. It is simply a magical skill in the early stages of development.
Han Fei added free skill points to his acting skills. Now his acting skills level is at the intermediate level three. He then added the attribute points gained from the upgrade to his physical strength.
He always felt that his physical strength was too poor and he had no sense of security at all.
"I just heard the system prompt that the chat room function has been opened. Are there other players in this underworld game?"
Opening the property panel, Han Fei found the chat room option at the bottom of the panel. He was shocked when he clicked it.
There are actually 999 chat rooms in this underworld game. Each chat room has its own number, but the strange thing is that all the chat rooms are gray and cannot be entered at all.
"I'm already level three, but why can't I enter these chat rooms? Aren't these chat rooms prepared for me? Are there really other players in this game?" Han Fei looked at his number - 0000, feeling as if he was the only player in this game.
After resting for a while, Han Fei got up from the ground and said, "The mission has been completed. I just need to stay here for three hours before I can go out and explore."
Han Fei picked up Meng Shi's key. He had just taken out Meng Shi's key in order to open the door. Now when he was about to return it to Meng Shi, he suddenly thought of something.
"I don't know when Meng Shi and Chen Chen will wake up. This is a good opportunity for me to check the room." Han Fei glanced at the locked bedroom: "Should I choose to believe Meng Shi? Or should I go in and check it myself?"
With the key in his hand, Han Fei stared at the door for a long time and chose to give up.
Meng Shi is the only friend he can trust now, and he doesn't want to let the "harmonious relationship" between neighbors become disrupted.
The hand holding the key reached out to Meng Shi, and Han Fei put the key back into the old man's pocket. When he withdrew his arm, the cold voice of the system suddenly came in his mind.
"Player No. 0000, please note! Meng Shi's friendliness level has increased by ten! You have completely gained her trust! Now she has regarded you as her family!"
After hearing the voice in his head, Han Fei immediately realized that Meng Shi was not actually unconscious, but she was just pretending to be unconscious because she was old and cunning.
After completing the task of rescuing Chenchen, Meng Shi's friendliness increased by thirty, and just now it increased by ten more. Now Meng Shi really regards Han Fei as her own family.
Han Fei knew everything in his mind , but his face did not show anything.
He acted as if he knew nothing. He silently helped the old man and Chenchen to safety, then went to the bathroom to find a towel and wiped off the dirt on Chenchen's face and arms bit by bit.
About half an hour later, the old woman finally regained consciousness. She slowly "woke up" and when she saw Chenchen beside her, she was extremely excited and very grateful to Han Fei.
That gratitude was definitely not fake, as can be seen from the fact that the friendship level increased by 30 when the task was completed.
"Han Fei, I really don't know how to thank you. I never thought that there would be someone in the world willing to take such a big risk to save someone they had only met a few times."
"When I first moved here, you were the first one to come to me, treat me to a meal, and remind me that 1044 was a haunted house. I will always remember all these kindnesses." Han Fei scratched his head embarrassedly: "In fact, I don't have many relatives. It was only when I first came to your house that I found a sense of home. It turns out that home is so warm."
Han Fei's eyes seemed to be reminiscing about the original feeling. He helped the old woman to sit on the chair and said, "Grandma, you have a good rest. I will go back first. If you have any problems in the future, just come upstairs to find me. If possible, I want to treat you as my family."
Perhaps Han Fei's last words touched the softest part of the old man's heart. When Han Fei was about to leave, the old man slowly stood up.
"Han Fei, I'm not as kind as you think. I have a secret in my heart that has been tormenting me." The old woman seemed to have become older. She took out her key and walked towards the locked bedroom: "I know you are curious about this room. Come with me."
