Chapter 97: F-level talent summoning spirits!
The small living room was filled with dried blood scabs, and every floor tile was soaked in blood. No one knew what horrible thing had happened here.
Thick lines of blood crisscrossed the room, binding two figures.
One of them was wearing a red coat, her lips were eerily stained with blood , and there were bloody knives scattered around her.
The other figure was a giant humanoid puppet with a mask covered with strange patterns on its face. Its body was made of wood, and there were several rotten hearts piled in its chest.
“You dare to come to the ninth floor at level five? If it wasn’t for the fact that trapping the two of them took up too much energy, you probably wouldn’t be able to escape even if you died a thousand times.”
The bedroom door slowly opened, and the boy who had been unconscious on the bed walked to the bedroom door.
With every step he took, his body aged rapidly, wrinkles appeared on his cheeks, and his black hair gradually turned white.
When he walked up to the man, his face was full of death, as if he was going to die soon: "Do you remember your name?"
"Han Fei."
A strong stench and smell of blood rushed into the man's nose. He looked at the name on his arm with an expressionless face and calm eyes.
"Then do you remember how many times you have died?"
"45 times."
"You still remember this?" The old man nodded: "I knew we would meet again, but I didn't expect that we would meet so soon."
His body continued to turn into bloodshot and was slowly merging with the room. "What you just experienced was my childhood memory. Only the most unfortunate people have the black box. It chose me, and I chose you. Now it's your turn to make a choice."
"Are you sure you want me to make a choice now? I've forgotten a lot of things..."
"This is the opportunity I've been waiting for. Only the choice made under such circumstances is the most real." The old man opened his heart and took out a black box from it: "You have the minimum qualifications to become a manager. You can choose your own path."
"How do I choose?"
“If you want to completely destroy this world full of disasters, misfortunes, and weirdness, then open the lid on the back; if you want to find a way to leave and redeem this world occupied by evil spirits and monsters, then open the lid on the front.” The old man’s body was still melting, and he didn’t have much time left.
"Which path did you choose before?" The man did not make a choice casually, he felt that this choice would be very important.
"I chose the opposite, but I failed. My memory was torn into pieces by something, and the black box was hidden in this fragment of my childhood memory."
"It seems that choosing the opposite side is very dangerous." The man thought for a while, and finally said: "Can I open both lids? I want to save the world, but I think there are some things in this world that should be destroyed."
"If you choose two paths at the same time, both positive and negative forces may want to kill you!" The old man has never seen anyone make a choice like this. Since you want both, what is the meaning of choosing?
After a pause, he added, "You have to think clearly. In the future, you may find that death is a luxury. You will encounter even more terrifying things in the future, such as the manager's mission. This time, you died forty-five times before you passed the level, but in the memory of some managers, you will be doomed forever if you die once. Do you have the confidence to pass the level in one life?"
"I don't have confidence, but what does this have to do with my choice?" The man grabbed the upper and lower lids of the black box with both hands and opened them at the same time.
Nothing unusual happened in the room, and there was another black box inside the black box.
"What's in this box?"
"You are now an F-level manager. Every time you upgrade your manager level, you can open a layer of the box. If you can get to the end, you will see what is hidden in the box." The old man held the black box in both hands. His body turned into blood. He opened Han Fei's chest little by little. He personally put the black box into Han Fei's heart: "Remember, the black box is hidden in the deepest part of your consciousness. You must stay awake at all times."
When the black box was placed in Han Fei's chest, the lost memories came flooding back like a tide. At that moment, Han Fei felt that his brain was about to explode. He fell to the ground in pain and fainted.
After stitching up Han Fei's chest and restoring everything, the old man's body reached its limit.
At the last moment of his disappearance, his eyes were filled with mixed emotions. “Speed up your exploration, try to go to more places before they find you, maybe you’ll be lucky enough to find hope in a certain building. You’ve chosen the most difficult path, but you should be able to do it. At least you’re much stronger than me. You dared to come to the ninth floor at level five, and I think I had to reach level nineteen before I dared to come up. What a crazy guy, don’t you know that if you die in the game, you’ll also be brain dead in reality?”
The old figure completely turned into bloodshot, and all the crisscrossing blood vessels in the room began to wither. The oppressive and terrifying aura disappeared.

This can only be used once every night."
"Player No. 0000, please note! You have successfully upgraded to Level 6! Free attribute points increased by one!"
The headache gradually eased, and a faint voice came from his mind. Han Fei slowly remembered everything.
"It's the old man who sold me the gaming helmet!" Han Fei suddenly woke up. He waved his arms excitedly and accidentally bumped into the person next to him. A pungent smell of blood drifted into his nose.
Turning his head, Han Fei found Xu Qin sitting next to him. She kept wiping the table knife, but the blood on the knife kept getting more and more.
"Awake?" Xu Qin raised her bright red lips and looked sideways at Han Fei: "Did you come to the ninth floor to find me?"
Seeing Xu Qin's bloody lips and the way she kept wiping the knife, Han Fei decided to tell the truth.
He struggled to stand up and stared into Xu Qin's eyes: "I died forty-five times in that dream. I thought I would never wake up again."
After hearing Han Fei say that he had died forty-five times, Xu Qin, contrary to her usual behavior, said nothing, but wiped the knife with a little more force.
"Player No. 0000, please note! Xu Qin's friendship level has increased by 20! Your neighborhood relationship with Xu Qin has risen to friendly."
