Chapter 14: Level Two
Sharing blessings and hardships is what good friends should do, as well as neighbours. Watching TV alone at 3 am in a haunted house is too exciting to waste. Therefore, Han Fei decided to invite his neighbours to join him.
He wanted to change his introverted personality from now on and become a righteous and enthusiastic person.
His eyes remained fixed on the television, but Han Fei's body began to move slowly.
In fact, when the hand appeared behind him, Han Fei had already made up his mind to take a gamble.
Compared to the sudden appearance of the ghost, the neighbour outside the door, covered in blood, seemed somewhat acceptable to him.
Adjusting his posture little by little, Han Fei's brain raced as he came up with several plans.
The neighbour from the sixth floor was hiding outside the door, taking cover in the blind spot to avoid being detected by the peephole.
Han Fei thought that if he suddenly opened the door, based on the madness displayed by the neighbour from the sixth floor, he might not even bother to figure out who he was and would just attack him directly.
So, to redirect the ghost's anger, he had to make the ghost leave first.
The plan in his mind seemed perfect, but as Han Fei began to execute it, he realized how difficult it was. His body was engulfed by darkness, and a cold sensation permeated every nerve. Even the slightest movement made him feel a sense of horror.
The flickering light emitted by the TV was distorted, and the mutilated little character in the screen struggled and was captured repeatedly. No one knew who was capturing it, but it was clear that it couldn't escape.
The silent screams of the little character seemed to foreshadow something. It struggled in vain, being dragged back into the black house by invisible hands.
It tried every possible method, using various objects in the house to resist. It always managed to escape the room in a hair-raising manner, but every time it left that black house, a part of its body would be missing.
The disfigurement of the little character's body became more severe, and its speed gradually slowed down. By the seventh time it escaped the black room, it seemed to have realized its fate.
This time, instead of waiting for the invisible hands to come, it turned its head halfway and looked back.
The scene shifted, and the TV screen showed a monster made up of different human body parts, constantly following the mutilated little character.
The arms formed by the combined body parts turned into black smoke. After capturing the little character, it dragged it back into the black house once again.
Before long, the door of the room opened, and the little character, missing another part of its body, walked out of the door.
This time, the little character didn't run away anymore. It stopped in despair at the entrance of the black room, gazing into the dark doorway, then slowly walked inside.
The animation turned to show the interior of the black room. Han Fei held his breath, eager to know what was inside that nightmarish room.
The imagined gruesome scene didn't appear. The interior of the black room looked ordinary, with a shoe cabinet placed at the entrance, slightly cracked flooring, and occasional black and red stains on the walls. An old digital clock displayed the time as 3:15.
"The layout of this room..."
In the small living room, there was a sofa placed in the centre. The TV in front of the sofa seemed to be playing something.
The little character in the animation, filled with despair, sat quietly on the sofa. It stared at the TV screen, as if it was staring at Han Fei outside the screen.
His heart skipped a beat, and Han Fei was certain that the nightmarish black room in the animation was the room he was currently in!
The little character in the animation seemed to be himself, and the monster made up of human body parts stood behind him.
With his shoulders firmly grasped, the desperation of the little character in the animation seemed to transfer to Han Fei.
The futile attempts to escape, the constant disfigurement of the body—this was an unsolvable nightmare.
The little character in the animation gave up struggling, and the body of the monster behind it gradually cracked, revealing several faces hidden within its body.
Torn skin, dislocated bones, and terrifying voices resonated behind Han Fei. His situation was no different from the little character in the animation. The only difference was that the little character had given up, while Han Fei, at this moment, firmly stared at the monster in the animation, staring at the faces hidden beneath its hideous exterior.
Before entering the game, Han Fei had researched the patterns of the human body puzzle and had seen the photos of all the victims. He discovered that the faces inside the monster's body were those of the victims, including Wei Youfu and his wife, Amei.
Locked in by his shoulders, unable to breathe due to nervousness, Han Fei felt the chill coming from his shoulders. A tremendous force wanted to drag him away.
"Oops!"
The little person in the animation, already dismembered, bled out from the TV screen. The already eerie room underwent another change.
Han Fei also felt the pain in his shoulders. He had never been so close to death before.
With his shoulders tightly held, unable to break free, the little person in the TV animation had been dismembered, and it seemed that this would be Han Fei's final fate.
Under the immense pressure of death, Han Fei made one last attempt.
"You will kill me, and I'm not surprised."
"But, if it's possible, could I listen to my wife's voice once more? She's waiting for me to come home. I promised her that I would have a wedding ceremony for her."
Clamping his teeth tightly, his eyes already filled with tears, in this moment of life and death, the man in front of him didn't care about his own life. Instead, he thought about the promise he made to his wife.
Simple words seemed to contain a certain power. The two faces inside the monster's body, which looked like Wei Youfu and Amei, slowly regained their normal expressions. The hostility diminished, and they stared at Han Fei as if they were seeing themselves.
The monster stood still, and the seven faces within its body seemed to disagree.
Han Fei had been sitting on the sofa all along, not daring to move. His eyes were fixed on the TV, but his hands were tightly clenched together.
Soon, half an hour had passed, and the oppressive feeling in the room gradually disappeared.
"Player with ID 0000, please take note! You have successfully completed the G-rank beginner's task of watching TV!"
"Player with ID 0000, please take note! You have successfully levelled up to Level Two!"
