Chapter 75

Looking at the information on the mission panel, Han Fei felt somewhat perplexed. He had been staying in the haunted house, just talking with his roommates, and suddenly the system prompted him that he had triggered an F-class mission.

While triggering a mission might be a good thing, the higher the mission level, the greater the difficulty. One misstep, and he might lose his life.

"There are seven human puzzle pieces hidden in the building, and this number matches the number of hidden bodies in the Happy Community Building No. 1 in the real world."

"The Deep World has a special connection with the real world. The human puzzle pieces in the mission might correspond to the undiscovered body parts in the real world."

"My roommates all have some physical defects. If I can find the buried body parts, perhaps I can piece them together. This is probably another interpretation of the human puzzle pieces."

"The biggest challenge of this F-class mission is finding the seven human puzzle pieces. If I don't know their locations beforehand, I would have to blindly search the apartment building, which is full of ghosts and death traps, room by room."

"Now that I know all the hiding spots in advance, I can save the time needed for searching. So, it's not impossible for me to complete the mission within three days."

Han Fei clearly remembered all the room numbers of the hiding spots. This might be due to his frequent targeted training in memorizing lines, which made his memory much better than that of an average person.

Upon closer inspection, Han Fei's mission panel now had an additional ordinary G-class mission—exploring the sixth floor.

"Exploring the entire apartment building should be the main quest for the game's beginner stage. One of the four rooms on the sixth floor is already empty. As long as Xu Qin is willing to continue helping me, clearing the other three rooms won't be difficult. What I need to be careful about now is the bouncing footsteps in the hallway."

Sitting on the living room sofa, Han Fei planned to stay for three hours before going out.

He didn't waste this time, constantly recalling the knowledge he had learned during the day and practicing the most basic combat techniques over and over again.

"Although this ghost game is very bizarre, it's undeniable that my attention is involuntarily highly focused here. Learning and practicing are much more efficient. In the future, once the connection to the surface world is established, I might be able to open a training class here to improve the focus of those students."

At 3 a.m., after waiting for three hours, Han Fei picked up the kitchen knife and left the haunted house 1044.

The hallway was as quiet as before, as if there was no life in the building.

Gripping the kitchen knife, Han Fei didn't close the door and carefully walked toward the fifth floor.

When he reached the corner between the fourth and fifth floors, he suddenly noticed that all the doors on the fifth floor were closed: "Strange, why is the door to room 1051 also closed today? Is Xu Qin not at home?"

Han Fei knew that Xu Qin occasionally went out to "buy groceries." To prevent her from picking "vegetables" from inside the building, the building manager had given her a spare key to the hallway door.

"If this sister isn't here, it would be too risky for me to go to the sixth floor alone." Han Fei thought calmly: "I'll knock on the door first. If she's really not at home, I'll go chat with Ku and wait for her to return in the haunted house."

Just as he was about to implement his plan, Han Fei suddenly heard hurried footsteps from downstairs.

By the time he turned around, the door to the haunted house 1044 had already been closed by a scarred arm.

"Oh no!"

Two severely burned madmen stood in front of the door to room 1044. They were naked, covered in scars, and held sharp knives.

"These two are targeting me! I rarely offend people, and those I have offended are mostly already disposed of, except for the other intruders hiding in the rooms on the sixth floor." Han Fei's mind worked quickly: "They must have been lying in wait on the third floor, waiting for me to come out and then immediately run over to block me. Since they chose to act today, it means Xu Qin is probably not at home."

"If Xu Qin isn't at home, running upstairs would be suicide. The best solution now is to run downstairs and find Ku."

Han Fei made his decision instantly, but the two scarred intruders weren't stupid. One of them guarded the area between the third and fourth floors to prevent Han Fei from jumping over the railing, while the other lunged at Han Fei with a knife.

After practicing the basic combat techniques so many times, Han Fei was no longer planning to run. He faced the enemy head-on with the kitchen knife.

"Bang!"

When the kitchen knife and the dagger clashed, Han Fei was pushed back two steps, but the scarred man was unharmed.

"Damn, the strength difference is too great!"

The intruder's face was full of murderous intent, and each scar on his body seemed to be a mouth, silently grinning.

The other's knife showed no mercy. Han Fei couldn't even think about running down the narrow hallway; a moment's hesitation would mean being stabbed.

Once injured, his movements would slow, making it even harder to escape!

"Three hours have passed, but I haven't completed the mission, so I can't exit the game. If I'm caught by these maniacs now, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Adrenaline surged, and Han Fei would rather die quickly at the hands of a ghost than be slowly tortured to death by these killers.

"Run! Go upstairs! If nothing else, we'll die together!"

Gritting his teeth, Han Fei rushed to the fifth floor and frantically knocked on Xu Qin's door.

"Make a big commotion! Stir up the water to create an opportunity!"

Han Fei wanted to draw out the ghosts in the building, and the two intruders were also aware of his plan. They had been plotting for a long time and pursued him relentlessly.

The dagger was right behind him, grazing his body several times. Han Fei didn't dare to stop, running for his life.

When he reached the middle of the fifth and sixth floors, the scene in front of him was disheartening. There was another intruder at the door of room 1062 on the sixth floor.

The person had a delicate appearance, making it hard to determine their gender, and held a long, thin syringe.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you won't feel pain soon." The person's eyes were like those of a venomous snake, staring at Han Fei, and their voice carried a hint of resentment.

In a dire situation, Han Fei didn't listen to what the person was saying. Seeing the man on the sixth floor, he didn't slow down but suddenly accelerated.

He charged at the man like a madman, and the other raised the syringe as he approached.

The sharp needle tip grew larger in Han Fei's eyes. He raised his hand and threw the kitchen knife at the person's face.

As the person instinctively dodged, Han Fei quickly closed the distance and landed a solid punch on the man's chin!

The man's eyes bulged, and his head deformed. His body swayed, and Han Fei didn't linger, taking the opportunity to run toward the seventh floor.

"Xue Li's teachings are really useful!"

A comedian had been forced into this situation. He sprinted with all his might, but due to the delay caused by the delicate man, the two scarred men were already very close.

Rushing to the seventh floor, Han Fei vaguely remembered what the old lady Meng had said. Compared to the eighth and ninth floors, the seventh floor seemed less dangerous.

Han Fei pounded on the door desperately. When his fingers touched the door of room 1074, he suddenly realized that the door was not locked and opened easily.

"Go in and hide first!"

Han Fei rushed into room 1074. Before he could close the door, he suddenly saw a full-length mirror directly opposite the door.
