Chapter 60

Han Fei followed Xu Qin into Room 1052. He watched as she turned on the bathroom faucet to wash her hands, and the originally clean sink instantly turned red.

"What do you want to eat today?" Xu Qin, with her head down, washed her hands thoroughly, cleaning the blood from under her fingernails.

"Sis, I came today to discuss something with you." Han Fei placed the human cocoon on the dining table: "I got a little thing from a neighbor on the sixth floor."

"Sixth floor? Those people aren't neighbors; they came from outside." After washing her hands, Xu Qin picked up the human cocoon from the table: "Is this what you want to give me?"

"It's called a human cocoon, a type of insect pupa. I felt it was quite rare, so I thought I'd bring it to you."

"Human cocoon? I've never eaten it before; I wonder what it tastes like." Xu Qin's pale fingers pinched the cocoon, and her crimson eyes looked at Han Fei: "What flavor do you want?"

"I don't plan to eat it for now." Han Fei had a simple smile on his face: "When the outsider from the sixth floor was about to die, this was the only thing in his pocket. It must be important to those outsiders. I was thinking if we could use this to lure the outsiders from the sixth floor out."

"Get the people from the sixth floor out of their rooms, and then what?" A sickly excitement slowly rose in Xu Qin's crimson eyes, and she looked at Han Fei with anticipation.

"Those guys don't follow the rules. I want to have a good talk with them and set some constraints." Han Fei sat obediently by the dining table, appearing very well-behaved, as if he had no ill intentions.

"Just a talk?" Xu Qin looked at the knife in her hand: "What if they don't want to talk?"

"Then we can use a voting method, majority rules, to force them to change." Han Fei's words were very civilized.

"Are you sure? We are only two people; we are the minority."

"Sis, you counted wrong. If they don't want to talk, they will only be left with one person." Han Fei's clear and innocent gaze looked at Xu Qin: "The one left can help us find more outsiders in the future."

Their eyes met, and Xu Qin's smile grew even wider, seemingly very satisfied with Han Fei.

"Player 0000, please note! Xu Qin's friendliness increased by 5! A harmonious neighborly relationship is the first step to a perfect life!"

A mysterious message from the system echoed in his mind. Han Fei didn't know why Xu Qin's friendliness increased, but he felt it might be because she appreciated him.

Han Fei opened the mission panel and found that the exploration of the fifth floor was not yet complete.

After some thought, he realized the mission was incomplete because he hadn't entered two rooms on the fifth floor.

He had already stayed for three hours. If he could complete this mission, he could exit the game at any time and show his true courage.

"I can't exit the game; I always feel restrained, and I might be looked down upon by Xu Qin."

Muttering to himself, Han Fei closed the mission panel and looked at Xu Qin again: "When I came to the fifth floor, you seemed to be in Room 1054. Are all four rooms on this floor yours?"

"Originally, only Room 1052 was mine. Later, my neighbors voluntarily gave their rooms to me." Xu Qin bit her finger, and blood trickled down her lips: "I don't know why they did that."

"Indeed, it's quite strange." Han Fei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "What's in Rooms 1054 and 1053? Did the neighbors who moved out leave anything behind? Can I take a look?"

"Of course, as long as you're not afraid." Xu Qin giggled: "Once, I helped an old lady on the third floor with a small favor. She came to thank me, and I was in Room 1054 at the time."

"What happened next?"

"She saw what was in Room 1054 and never came to see me again."

"Old people have a weaker ability to accept new things, but young people like me are different." Han Fei got up and walked towards the door.

Xu Qin watched Han Fei's back, licked the blood from her lips, and picked up the knife from the table: "Don't stay in the hallway too long; be careful not to get caught."

Outside the room, Xu Qin's voice became much softer.

This indicated that there was something even more terrifying hidden in the apartment building.

"Room 1053 is my storage room. I keep some rare ingredients and crafts I made here." Xu Qin opened the door to Room 1053, where various items made from bones and a collection of strange specimens were piled up.

"Did you make all these yourself?"

"Yes."

"Amazing!" Han Fei carefully walked among the pile of bones, occasionally glancing back at Xu Qin at the door. He was also thinking about how to get along with this neighbor.

To understand a woman, one could look at her hobbies, her pets, the items in her bag, and her relationships with people around her.

Applying this to Xu Qin, she liked to eat ghosts, her pet was a house, she had no bag, only various knives, and her neighbors gave her their houses to avoid her.

In summary, such a woman was indeed quite rare.

"Room 1054 is where I process ingredients. Some ingredients struggle a lot, so the room is a bit messy." After touring Room 1053, Xu Qin led Han Fei to Room 1054.

Pushing open the door to Room 1054, a cold chill hit Han Fei, followed by a strong smell of blood.

The room was almost entirely covered in blood. A large cutting board stood on the ground, and the walls were marked with scratches and damage.

If Han Fei hadn't seen the terrifying scene of the victims of the human puzzle case, he might have already broken down.

His heart pounded, but he maintained a calm expression as he moved around the room. The only good news was that the scratches on the walls were not made by human hands but seemed to be from some kind of monster.

"Indeed, it's a bit messy." Han Fei showed no fear on his face. After finishing his inspection, he returned to Xu Qin's side: "Sis, I know you're usually busy. If you don't mind, I can take care of the cleaning and other chores."

Xu Qin's crimson eyes looked at Han Fei. She had imagined many scenarios, but she never thought Han Fei would say this after seeing the hell-like kitchen.

"Just focus on what you like, and enjoy researching food. Your hands are meant for cooking. I'll take care of the chores from now on."

Han Fei said this to get closer to Xu Qin, hoping to eat more advanced dishes she made and possibly improve his attributes. However, he didn't expect that after saying this, Xu Qin's crimson, sickly eyes completely focused on him.

"Someone said something similar before, but he lied to me." Xu Qin bit her finger, looking at the bloodied knife: "He disappeared. Where did he hide? I can't remember anything."

"Player 0000, please note! You have successfully explored all rooms on the fifth floor. G-level mission—Explore the Fifth Floor—completed! You have received a free skill point as a reward! Xu Qin's friendliness increased by 20!"
