Chapter 53

The dishes prepared by Xu Qin seemed to contain some kind of curse, with a 95% chance of being cursed upon the first consumption, and a 1% chance of gaining a random attribute point.

Han Fei had previously looked up information on the official website of "Perfect Life," and foods with such special effects were extremely rare, and almost no one could make them at this stage.

After finally getting this opportunity, Han Fei was certainly not going to let it slip away.

The dishes looked strange, but the additional attribute points were real. Moreover, the food Xu Qin prepared was indeed very delicious, and he didn't know what special seasoning she had added.

After eating the pig's heart, Han Fei's courage grew, and he looked at the other dishes: "Should I also eat a hair?"

After hesitating for a moment, Han Fei dismissed the idea. The hair kept emitting惨叫声，光是听着就让人毛骨悚然。

Han Fei found a dish on the table that looked more normal and picked up a pair of chopsticks, then quietly used the system to identify it.

However, to his disappointment, the dishes prepared by Xu Qin seemed to contain the same curse, with only the first consumption having a special effect.

"All these dishes are G-level food. Given Xu Qin's passion for cuisine, if I can provide higher-quality ingredients, she might be able to make food that surpasses G-level." Looking at the table full of dishes, Han Fei lavished Xu Qin with praise.

This woman, with her sickly eyes, blood-stained lips, and a fondness for all sorts of strange foods, was described by Han Fei as kind, beautiful, passionate about cooking, skillful, and gentle.

The most crucial point was that Xu Qin rarely heard such praise, and the more she looked at Han Fei, the more she found him appealing.

"Among all the people who have come to my house for meals, you are the one who makes me the happiest. In the future, I will prepare more delicious dishes to share with you."

"You said I am the third person to come to your house for a meal. Who were the other two?" Han Fei was very curious about which other brave neighbors dared to come here for a meal.

"Previously, the building manager would also come to my place for meals, but unfortunately, he had no understanding of cooking and food, and his taste was very poor."

"The building manager came here?" Han Fei immediately perked up, eager to gather information about the building manager.

"The building manager had a good relationship with all the residents in the apartment. Unfortunately, he mysteriously disappeared later, and no one knows where he is now." Xu Qin fished out a key from under her red coat: "However, he must have been well-prepared. Before he disappeared, he gave me the key to the iron gate at the entrance of the apartment building."

She lightly tossed the rusty key in her hand, and her blood-red lips curled upward: "He knew I go out to buy groceries every week. He was worried that I might pick vegetables inside the building if I couldn't buy any, so he thoughtfully gave me the key. From this, it seems he already knew he would face some misfortune."

Xu Qin's words were ordinary, but Han Fei knew that her "buying groceries" was not what normal people would understand.

"After the building manager disappeared, the backup key inside the building was stolen, and many outsiders infiltrated the apartment. Some of them now live on the sixth floor." The woman's smile was eerily beautiful, and she touched the leather pad under the plate: "The second neighbor who came to my house for a meal was an outsider. He used to live on the sixth floor. That person had no interest in food, so I specially kept his skin to teach him the meaning of cuisine."

Xu Qin's pale fingers slowly moved over the smooth leather pad, and Han Fei's eyes twitched. His legs trembled slightly, but he managed to keep his upper body relatively normal.

"Do you feel a bit uncomfortable?"

"No, I'm fine." Han Fei quickly regained his composure, subtly licking his lips and speaking as if to himself: "I was just thinking, one person is enough to make a plate pad, but if we gather more, maybe you can change the tablecloth."

The woman laughed even more happily after hearing Han Fei's words: "You can actually guess my thoughts."

Han Fei had no idea what Xu Qin was thinking; he just didn't like the outsiders on the sixth floor. After all, one of them had tried to kill him without any reason, and those outsiders seemed to be completely driven by malice and the desire to kill.

Seeing Xu Qin so happy, Han Fei also smiled. He finished the dish in front of him and looked at the other plates with lingering interest: "Being able to eat your dishes is truly a blessing. I will bring you more ingredients in the future."

The dinner table was filled with a warm atmosphere, which would have been perfect if the plates didn't contain hair and dolls, and the walls didn't have bloodstains and marks of struggle.

After a pleasant dinner, Han Fei left Room 1052 with Xu Qin.

He still had many questions, but since it was his first visit, his primary goal was to increase their friendliness, not to ask questions.

Running back to the haunted house 1044, Han Fei found his back completely drenched in cold sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of water.

"Xu Qin lives alone on the fifth floor, which shows how terrifying she is."

Han Fei felt that today's visit was very fruitful, not only raising his level but also improving his relationship with his neighbor.

Most importantly, Xu Qin said she goes out to buy groceries every week. Han Fei thought that once his friendliness with Xu Qin reached 100, he could ask her to take him out of the apartment building.

This city, shrouded in darkness, had no visible boundaries. To find a way out, he needed someone familiar with the outside world.

After securing the security door, Han Fei looked at the deepest part of the haunted house, where the bedroom door remained tightly closed.

When he first logged into the game, Han Fei didn't dare to go there, but now that he could exit the game at any time, his courage grew.

Quietly walking to the deepest part of the haunted house, Han Fei lightly knocked on the door.

There was no sound from inside, and after a moment, Han Fei opened the door.

The layout of the apartment building was problematic, and all the negative energy accumulated in the deepest room. As soon as the bedroom door opened, the temperature inside clearly dropped.

Han Fei was mentally prepared, but when he looked inside, he was still surprised.

Seven victims with incomplete bodies stood by the bed, their heads hanging low. Blood was flowing from each of their bodies, and the blood gathered to form the vague outline of a monster.

These seven people were struggling against the despair in their hearts, not wanting to become that monster.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Han Fei's gaze swept over their numb and cold faces: "I am close to catching the culprit, and I will avenge you!"

The seven victims all heard Han Fei's words, but only Wei Youfu seemed to understand what he was saying.

His head, which was originally hanging low, slowly lifted. He endured unimaginable pain, and before his body was completely torn apart, he drew the character "安" (peace) in the air with his hand.

"安? Meng Chang'an?"
