Chapter 47 Don’t Look Back
"The word 'death' was written all over the door, and blood was seeping out from under the door. Is such a neighbor really suitable to be a friend?"
Meng Shi said that Xu Qin lived in room 1052, and that although Xu Qin was crazy, she was actually a good person.
At first, Han Fei had certain expectations for Xu Qin and felt that they could get along harmoniously. However, after seeing the door with the word "death" written all over it, he suddenly realized that Meng Shi thought Xu Qin was a good person, but that was compared to other neighbors in the same building.
Among a group of perverted murderers, evil spirits and monsters, any slight advantages of Xu Qin would be infinitely magnified.
Han Fei is now in a very tangled state. He must complete a task before he can leave the game, but there are no more tasks to accept from his "familiar" neighbors, so he can only explore unfamiliar floors.
But the unfamiliar floor was obviously very dangerous, and he was not 100% sure he could escape back.
"The new tasks should force me to explore unknown areas. I still remember the first time I quit the game, the system said it hoped I could speed up my exploration."
Looking at the dark corridor, Han Fei clenched the kitchen knife and slowly raised his feet.
"Since there is no way to escape, we can only move forward."
As soon as his footsteps landed on the stairs, Han Fei heard a "rustling" sound coming from downstairs, as if the chain on the iron door at the entrance of the corridor was taken off.
"The iron door at the entrance of the building was opened? Did someone leave the apartment building? Or did someone from outside enter the apartment building?"
The voice-activated lights on the first floor lit up. Han Fei quietly approached the railing and found an angle to look downstairs.
A shadow appeared on the wall between the first and second floors, like a person lying on the ground.
"It's not a good situation."
After seeing the strange shadow, Han Fei immediately prepared to return to the haunted house, but just as he was about to turn around, the cold voice of the system came into his mind.
"Player No. 0000, please note! You entered the corridor at 3:04 in the morning, triggering the hidden mission in the corridor - do not look back."
“Hidden Missions: In this open world, there are various random missions hidden. The higher the luck value, the higher the probability of triggering random hidden missions.”
"Don't Look Back (One of the hidden tasks in the corridor): For fifteen minutes, no matter what happens, don't go downstairs or look back. If you violate this, you will most likely die."
After hearing the cold mechanical synthesized voice in his mind, Han Fei's heart sank.
His body froze in place, not daring to move his neck.
"How come another hidden mission was triggered? Didn't Huang Ying say that the probability of triggering a hidden mission is extremely low and that it is a very rare mission? I'm only level three and I've already encountered two hidden missions!"
Holding his breath and listening attentively, Han Fei's Adam's apple trembled: "You can't go downstairs or look back within fifteen minutes. If you violate this, you will die? This task description is too direct. There is no room for maneuver at all!"
Han Fei kept his posture and stopped between the fourth and fifth floors. He now knew that there was a person lying on the ground on the first floor and running upstairs. He also knew that a dark figure had just entered the room on the fifth floor. Neither of them was a good person.
His breathing gradually became rapid. The mission required Han Fei not to retreat. If something really came, he could only run upstairs, but the danger level upstairs was obviously much higher than downstairs. He still clearly remembered that his arms were torn off after he cried upstairs.
"What should I do? Do you want to light a cigarette and calm down?"
After putting on the amulet given by Meng Shi, Han Fei reached for the lighter in his pocket. He didn't know what would happen after lighting the cigarette, he just wanted to be prepared in advance.
The voice-controlled light never came on again, but Han Fei heard the faint sound of messy footsteps coming from behind him, and it felt like the other person had just learned to walk.
Slowly leaning towards the wall, Han Fei now hoped that his passive ability Hide and Seek could work, but unfortunately Hide and Seek could only reduce his presence. There was not even an obstacle in the corridor. He was such a big man that anyone who was not blind could see him.
The footsteps downstairs were getting closer and closer, and Han Fei's heart was slowly lifted.
One of the mission requirements is that you cannot go downstairs. Han Fei did not dare to go upstairs unless he had no other choice. The higher went, the farther he would be from the haunted house.
At midnight, standing alone in the corridor, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer behind him, Han Fei's heartbeat began to speed up uncontrollably.
He subconsciously clenched the kitchen knife, and the sound of footsteps behind him came clearly into his ears, until a certain moment, when it suddenly disappeared.
"No sound?"
Han Fei resisted the urge to look back and maintained his posture, but only a few seconds something unexpected happened in the corridor again.
“Crack…”
The chair stuck at the door of the haunted house was moved away, and the security door of the haunted house 1044 was gently closed!
The moment the door of the haunted house closed, Han Fei felt as if he had lost the shackles of home. A chill crept up his ankles and into his chest, and his calves trembled slightly.
Tick. Tick.
Some kind of sticky liquid, whether it was water or blood, dripped onto his back. Han Fei could feel that there was something standing behind him.
He subconsciously took a step forward, and as he took a step forward, two footsteps were heard in the corridor.
"It's only been a minute..."
Han Fei tried hard to calm himself, but no matter how strong his mental state was, he began to feel fear physically.
"Don't panic. As long as I don't look back within fifteen minutes, this hidden mission will be completed. Then I can exit the game directly."
Biting the tip of his tongue, Han Fei used the pain to dispel his fear: "The other party has no intention of killing me for the time being. I hope that the other party can play cat and mouse and slowly torture me to death, so that I can delay for a little longer."
"Huh? How come you are trapped here too?"
While Han Fei was thinking, a very familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. The voice gave him a very kind feeling, as if it was a friend of his from the past, but he could not remember who the voice belonged to.
"I didn't expect to see you in this damn place. How did you get in?"
The voice came again, but Han Fei still did not turn back.
Although the voice sounded very familiar to him, the tone was very cordial, and the content of the conversation was very interesting to him, Han Fei knew very well that he had no friends before! Not even one!
So the sound must have been made by a ghost, trying to trick him into turning back.
It is estimated that the ghost standing behind Han Fei did not think of this and was still coaxing Han Fei with a friendly tone.
In order to buy time, Han Fei quickly got into the state. He adjusted his tone, as if he was about to remember who the other person was.
