Chapter 61

Bright red blood trickled down Xu Qin's lips. Her fingers were bitten, but she felt no pain at all.

Han Fei's words seemed to have stirred the deepest memories in her mind, and her expression became increasingly deranged and insane.

Looking at Xu Qin at this moment, staring at her face and listening to her repeated words, Han Fei suddenly felt that the name Xu Qin was somewhat familiar.

He recalled carefully. When he was searching for information related to the human puzzle case, he had inadvertently come across another case from ten years ago.

The head of the clinical trials for Eternal Pharmaceutical was poisoned by her own younger brother. The name of the head was Xu Qin.

The sister and brother had relied on each other since childhood. To take care of her younger brother, the sister never married and devoted herself entirely to her work.

The neighbors all thought that the sister and brother had a good relationship. Who would have thought that the brother would eventually poison his own sister?

The method of the crime was very crude, but unfortunately, the sister never suspected her brother and ate all the food on the table.

That case was solved ten years ago. The sister died, and the brother was sentenced to death.

In the old district of Xinhu where they once lived, a famous ghost story emerged. It said that if you brought food to the house at the corner of North Street, you might encounter a mad woman with a knife. She would cough up blood, cry, and then eat all the food and the person who brought it.

"Are these two Xu Qins the same person?"

Han Fei was also looking at the woman in front of him. He remembered a phrase Xu Qin had once said: the name she was currently using was Xu Qin.

The woman in Room 1052 might not be Xu Qin. Perhaps she had many memories and was a conglomerate of curses, with Xu Qin being just one of them.

"Sis, what's wrong with you?" Han Fei was not afraid because the woman was going mad. He moved closer: "If you're not feeling well, go back to the room first. I'll go and lure those guys on the sixth floor out."

The real target tonight was the outsiders on the sixth floor. Han Fei also wanted to use those outsiders to calm Xu Qin down.

The blood-stained lips exuded a sickly beauty. Xu Qin's pale fingers unconsciously touched her face: "Someone is hiding. I forgot, I forgot something..."

"That person might be on the sixth floor, but if you come with me, they will be scared." Han Fei's smile was clean and pure, like a carefree boy next door: "I'll take care of the grunt work from now on."

After being able to exit the game at any time, Han Fei became brave and confident. He sent Xu Qin back to Room 1052 and then walked to the sixth floor with the cocoon.

Walking alone in the hallway, Han Fei's smile gradually disappeared. He wanted to laugh from the heart, but he had lost his ability to laugh a long time ago.

He could perform various kinds of smiles, but none of them were out of happiness or joy.

Moving slowly in the dark hallway, Han Fei came to the sixth floor for the first time, which was a new breakthrough for him.

"The building manager used to live on the tenth floor. His room must hide something very important. I need to figure everything out and find a way to the top floor."

Compared to other floors, the sixth floor was very messy. The hallway was piled with various garbage and clutter, and broken flower pots were placed on the stairs.

"These outsiders have no manners. If the flower pots fall and hit someone, what will they do?"

Han Fei slowed down and bent down to move the flower pot. Suddenly, he saw red threads entangled on the withered plants, and small copper bells were tied to the ends of the threads.

"Red threads and copper bells? Can these things ward off evil?"

He moved the flower pot to the side of the wall. Strangely, no matter how he touched the red threads, the bells did not ring, as if they were not meant to protect living people.

"Finally, I'm on the sixth floor."

Standing amidst the clutter, Han Fei looked at the four rooms on the sixth floor. He didn't know which room was occupied, so he randomly knocked on the door of Room 1064.

"Is anyone there? I'm your neighbor downstairs."

The knocking echoed far down the hallway, but no one came to open the door for Han Fei.

"Those who have a clear conscience have nothing to fear. These people are not opening the door, so they must have something to hide."

If it were other neighbors in the building, they would have various concerns and wouldn't dare to make too much noise, fearing they would become targets.

But Han Fei was different. When he first started the game, he was extremely cautious, taking every step carefully, as if walking on thin ice. But after completing the task and being able to exit the game freely, his inner world underwent a magnificent transformation. In short, he became fearless, and unless the ghosts could follow him back to reality, he dared to provoke all the ghosts.

"If you don't open the door, I'll keep knocking. I know you're home, don't hide inside and stay silent."

The hallway became even more eerie. Han Fei's knocking had already caused some changes in the building, as if something that was sleeping was gradually waking up.

The neighbors on the sixth floor were probably very nervous, hoping Han Fei would leave quickly. Unfortunately, Han Fei was like a reckless lunatic, standing outside and continuously knocking on the door.

Actually, Han Fei was also very anxious. He kept an eye on the landlord's ring and pressed his ear to the door to listen.

Not long after, a faint sound came from Room 1064, confirming that someone was inside.

When Han Fei heard the sound from Room 1064, he became like a shark that had smelled blood, tightly biting down and becoming even more hysterical.

"Hello, neighbor in Room 1064 on the sixth floor! I know you're home! One of your family members happened to meet me, and he wants me to bring something to you!"

"Neighbor in Room 1064, are you home? Are these the clutter in the hallway yours? Why are there bloodstains and red threads on them?"

Han Fei kept mentioning Room 1064, putting the person inside in a difficult position. If this continued, all the ghosts and monsters in the building would remember this room number, making it impossible to stay low and survive.

"Neighbor in Room 1064, please open the door and talk. You don't want me to come and knock every night, do you?"

Han Fei's last words seemed to scare the person inside. If there really was such a lunatic, coming to knock on the door at 3 or 4 AM every night, it would definitely cause big problems.

The door lock turned, and the security door was slightly opened. A bloodshot eye, filled with fatigue and anger, looked at Han Fei: "Are you f*cking crazy?"

"How do you talk to people? I'm here to do a good deed. Hasn't one of your family members gone missing?" Han Fei did not carry any weapons and gave off a weak and harmless impression, so the neighbor on the sixth floor only saw him as a lunatic with no fighting power.

"No."

"That's impossible. That person asked me to make sure I deliver this to the residents on the sixth floor." Saying this, Han Fei took the human cocoon out of his pocket.
