Chapter 3 Sleep!
Some people play games to kill time, some people play games to enjoy the sense of accomplishment of victory, and Han Fei plays games more to relieve stress, but now he feels more stressed.
Putting down the broom, Han Fei looked around. The dim light above his head flickered, and the warm feeling was long gone.
He quietly moved to the side of the refrigerator. The old man had only opened the upper layer of the refrigerator before, and no one knew what was in the lower layer.
A complete person cannot be stuffed into a refrigerator, so ...
Han Fei took a deep breath and slowly opened the lower layer of the refrigerator. He opened the refrigerator drawers one by one, which were filled with many bulging black plastic bags.
Han Fei had seen similar scenes in horror movies, but watching them on TV and being there in person were two completely different experiences.
Putting his fingers into the refrigerator drawer, Han Fei was worried that he would see a face or hair or something.
His Adam's apple rolled and he scratched the bag with his fingernails. The black plastic bag was filled with some frozen fish and chicken.
The imagined 18+ scene did not appear. Han Fei quickly closed the refrigerator while the old man was still there.
"What are you doing?"
An old and hoarse voice sounded behind him, and Han Fei felt a chill rushing up his spine to his head.
How come this old lady walks without making any sound?
Turning around, Han Fei picked up the broom on the ground. After all, he was a professional actor, so he quickly controlled his facial expression: "I want to help you clean the house. Maybe because of the long power outage, there is a little water leakage under the refrigerator. I suspect there is something wrong with the refrigerator's refrigeration system."
The old woman's expression didn't change at all from beginning to end, and she was always so kind and gentle, but seeing her face too often would make people feel a kind of inexplicable chill, as if she only had this kind of expression.
"Grandma, I've lived alone in another place for a long time. Today I finally feel the warmth of home here. Thank you very much." Han Fei started cleaning naturally. "We will be neighbors from now on. If you need any help, just come to me."
Regardless of whether there was a dead body hidden in the old man's house, Han Fei at least acted like a simple and honest naive person.
The old man had difficulty walking, so Han Fei cleaned the living room carefully: "You have a good rest, I won't disturb you."
After tidying up the room, the mechanical appeared again: "Player No. 0000, please pay attention! Your enthusiastic performance has left a good impression on Meng Shi. Meng Shi's friendliness level has increased by 5. Harmonious neighborhood relations are the first step to a perfect life."
At the same time as the mechanical synthesized voice appeared, the old woman walked behind Han Fei without knowing when. "I wanted to tell you this while we were having dinner, but now you probably don't feel like eating at my house anymore. You're a good kid, and I really want to be your neighbor, but you'd better listen to my advice and move out as soon as possible. Something happened in the house you live in."
"Has anything happened?"
"Don't ask so many questions. Just remember, when you go back to sleep at night, be sure to lock the bathroom door."
The old woman seemed very tired. She stopped chatting with Han Fei and walked into the kitchen alone.
After a while, a strange noise was heard from the kitchen, followed by a strong smell of meat. Han Fei did not dare to stay any longer, so he quickly left the old man's house.
After he walked out of the room, his heart finally settled down.
"There seems to be something wrong with this game."
Han Fei did not find the body in the old man's refrigerator just now, but he remembered one detail.
When I first went to the old man's house, the fuse burned out.
If there is nothing wrong with the quality of the fuse itself, a fuse usually blows because the load is too heavy.
But when he was cleaning just now, he checked every corner of the kitchen and living room, and found that the only electrical appliances in the old man's house were lights, a TV and a refrigerator.
These few electrical appliances alone are unlikely to blow the fuse, so there is a high probability that there are other electrical appliances in the elderly’s home.
"The child's bedroom door was locked. Why did the old man lock the child in the room? Did the child see something? Is there another refrigerator hidden in the child's room?"
Thinking of this, Han Fei's bad feeling became even stronger. He shuddered for no reason and looked at the somewhat gloomy corridor.
Behind those doors, it seemed as if someone was watching him.
"Why does this corridor feel so gloomy?"
Han Fei hurried back to his door. He tried for a long time with the bunch of keys before he finally opened the security door.
Running back to his home, Han Fei looked at the shabby and deserted living room, gasping for breath: "Am I too nervous? This healing game feels like a biochemical crisis."
After pouring a glass of water, Han Fei kept walking around in his room. The old lady's last words were like a spell, lingering in his ears.
"Something happened in the room before, so I have to lock the bathroom door before going to bed at night..."
Han Fei began to look around again. The room was shabby and covered with dust. There was also something strange. Except for the bathroom, every window in the room was hung with thick, light-proof curtains.
Coming to the window, he opened a corner of the curtain.
Below the curtains was a window sealed with wooden boards. Looking outside through the gaps in the boards, there was a pitch-black city.
This game world shrouded in darkness is so large that you can't see its boundaries at a glance.
"Didn't they say there would be warm scenes? Soothing music?"
Han Fei drew the curtains. He found that the online reviews of this game were somewhat one-sided. Although this was a game in the human world, it seemed to contain many elements of the underworld.
“Am I playing it the wrong way?”
In terms of sound quality, visual effects, and natural interaction, this game far surpasses any game Han Fei has played before, but how should I put it? Han Fei now feels that this game is a bit too real.
Sitting on the sofa, Han Fei closed his eyes, and an attribute panel and a task panel appeared in his mind.
After he helped the old man connect the fuse, the task system was activated, and the voice in his head said that completing the novice task would help him understand everything in this world as quickly as possible.
Thinking of this, Han Fei opened the task panel and looked at the three novice tasks on it. His expression became a little strange.
Novice task 1: Take a bath.
Novice Task 2: Watch TV.
Novice task three: sleep.
The novice tasks in this game are ridiculously "simple". There is no unnecessary introduction and they are all common things in life.
"How about we start with sleeping? I'm pretty good at sleeping."
Han Fei didn't choose it randomly. He thought of the old man's reminder to lock the bathroom door before going to bed at night. This reminder might be the key to completing the task.
Compared to making a blind choice, Han Fei thought it would be safer to sleep.
"I choose Novice Mission Three - Sleeping." The moment this thought came into Han Fei's mind, the mission had already been selected, and the cold mechanical synthesized voice appeared again.
"Player No. 0000 accepts the G-level novice mission - sleep!"
“Task introduction: After a busy day, you drag your tired body to lie on the bed in the bedroom.”
"Task requirements: Please turn off all the lights in the room and lie on the bed in the bedroom within five minutes. No matter what happens, you cannot leave the bed within three hours."
"Is it that simple?" Han Fei made sure that he had not missed the mission information, so he got up and went into the bedroom.
On the dusty double bed, a complete set of red bedding, including pillows, quilts and sheets, was thrown haphazardly.
"It's bright red. It looks really festive."
Han Fei frowned as he made the bed, then came to the bathroom door. When he was about to follow the old man's instructions and lock the bathroom door, he discovered a problem.
The bathroom door in this room can only be locked from the inside and cannot be locked from the outside.
After thinking for a moment, Han Fei inserted the mop diagonally into the door handle, blocked the bathroom door, and then moved the shoe cabinet to the bathroom door.
“That should be about right, right?”
To be on the safe side, he went back into the kitchen and picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board. "Isn't it a little weird to sleep with a kitchen knife in my arms in a healing game? Never mind. Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others."
Seeing that the five-minute preparation time was almost over, he turned off all the lights in the house and lay down on the bed in the bedroom with a kitchen knife in his hand.
