Chapter 83: Eighth Floor
"It's that footstep again!"
Han Fei immediately stopped what he was doing, turned around and hid in room 1062.
He pressed his body against the door, his eyes staring at the corridor outside through the peephole.
"Even Xu Qin is unwilling to face the owner of that footsteps. How terrifying can it be?"
The footsteps were getting faster and faster, and the ring on Han Fei's hand began to emit a biting chill. That thing was coming!
Holding his breath, Han Fei maintained his posture. He wanted to see what the other person looked like.
The footsteps stopped on the sixth floor, and the coolness from the landlord's ring almost froze Han Fei's fingers off.
Han Fei knew that the other party was at the door, but he could not see anything through the peephole. The corridor was pitch black, without even a ghost.
“Invisible neighbors?”
I don’t know what the other person looks like, I only know that he or she exists. This unknown terror is even more frightening.
"Is he looking at me through the peephole right now?"
Han Fei was startled by his sudden thought. He huddled behind the security door, not daring to make any sound.
It was very quiet outside the door, just like usual. If Han Fei did not have the landlord's ring and could sense the alarming chill, he would probably have thought that the other party had left.
"That ghost is still waiting for me at the door!"
It took both sides fifteen minutes before the footsteps were heard again and the ghost outside the door left.
"What on earth is he? He is invisible, but he really exists and makes those strange footsteps."
When the ring no longer gave off a cool feeling, Han Fei quietly pushed open the door and quickly opened the door of Room 1063.
He searched all the rooms on the sixth floor, and system prompts appeared in his mind.
"Player No. 0000, please note! The G-level main mission of exploring the sixth floor has been completed, and the basic reward of free skill points increased by one!"
"Player No. 0000, please note! You have successfully upgraded to Level 5! Free attribute points increased by one!"
After completing the task, Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief. He added attribute points to physical strength and continued to add skill points to acting.
Now his physical strength has reached eight, and his acting skills have reached the intermediate level seven. It won’t be long before he can break through to the advanced level.
"After my physical strength increased, all my physical indicators have improved. Now I should be considered a relatively capable fighter even in real life, right?"
Han Fei waved his fist and compared himself with the scarred outsider he had met before: "My speed is almost the same as his, but my stamina is still a little lacking. I guess if I level up a few more times, next time I meet a similar killer, he will be the one to run away."
After making sure he could exit the game freely, Han Fei started to do the human body puzzle task.
The most difficult part of this F-level mission is that the player has to search for corpse puzzles throughout the entire apartment building, and if he is not careful, he may provoke something terrible.
But it was different for Han Fei. He figured out the hidden locations of the remaining body parts in reality, and compared them with the information left by Meng Changxi at the time, he easily found the three "puzzle pieces".
They are called puzzles, but they are actually the missing body parts of the victims.
According to the system's identification, in addition to the shocking curses and resentments left on these mutilated body parts, they also seemed to hide some special emotions.
"I've found all the simple ones. Of the remaining four puzzle pieces, two are on the eighth floor and two are on the ninth floor, which I haven't been to yet."
"After exiting the game today, there is only one day left for this mission. It is almost impossible to enter the eighth and ninth floors and find the four puzzle pieces in one day."
Han Fei took a deep breath and said, "If I don't want the mission to fail, I must find more puzzle pieces today."
This was his first time accepting a mission at a higher level, so the reward must be very generous, and Han Fei was unwilling to give up easily.
He decided to go to the eighth floor to take a look while he was free to quit the game, and if nothing worked he would just quit.
"Meng Shi reminded me before that there is something wrong with the stairs between the seventh and eighth floors. If you go there after midnight, you might end up somewhere else and see something special."
I carefully went to the seventh floor. The door of room 1064 was closed, but not locked.
"Who closed the door? Whose footsteps were those of? Didn't it want to look in the mirror?"
What your opponent is unwilling to do may be his weakness.
"Can the mirror reveal him?"
Han Fei noticed this detail, but his relationship with the mirror on the seventh floor was even worse. If he dared to appear in front of the mirror, the mirror ghost would probably be so angry that it would come out.
"Take your time. There's no rush."
Stopping on the steps between the seventh and eighth floors, Han Fei observed carefully and found that there were a lot of bloodstains scattered on the steps.
"It seems like many people have died on this staircase."
Han Fei tried to step on the stairs between the seventh and eighth floors, but he didn't feel anything unusual. He walked up step by step, only to feel that the smell of blood in the air was becoming stronger and stronger.
"Gudong!"
Suddenly, a voice came from his ear, and then Han Fei heard a shrill laugh.
"The sound seemed to come from beside me?"
He was used to going upstairs by leaning against the wall. When he looked to his side, his expression instantly turned very bad.
There were some strange paintings on the mottled wall. Several young men were pulling a middle-aged man's hands and feet, as if they wanted to tear him apart.
"Is it the young man on the wall who is laughing?"
Han Fei looked at the young men. As he moved his gaze, he saw with his own eyes that a young man on the wall turned his head, as if he was secretly glancing at Han Fei.
His heart skipped a beat, but Han Fei showed no uneasiness on his face. He pretended not to hear the strange sound at all and ran to the eighth floor in one breath.
"The house is haunted, the hallway is haunted, and now even the steps and walls are unsafe."
After Han Fei left the stairs, the smell of blood in the air dissipated. He looked back at the wall, but there was nothing there.
"Could it be that there are ghosts in the walls? Will they catch the souls of passers-by? But why do they only appear between the seventh and eighth floors?"
Han Fei was lucky not to be hit this time, but he couldn't guarantee that he would be so lucky every time. "It's too dangerous to have such a hidden danger in the corridor. How about I try to set fire to the wall? I just don't know where to find gasoline or something like that in the building."
Thinking about countermeasures in his mind , Han Fei slowly touched the door of Room 1084. The "puzzle" he was looking for was hidden in this room.
Grabbing the door handle, Han Fei exerted a little force and the door opened.
"Unlocked?"
Han Fei was a little surprised, but before he could come to his senses, the strange footsteps appeared again.
This time he heard it very clearly. The voice came from the ninth floor, right above his head!
The opponent was very fast, and Han Fei had no time to hesitate , so he hid directly in room 1084.
