Chapter 26: Exclusive Ability - Hide and Seek
Suppressed madness faintly revealed a pathological nature, as if malicious intent emanated from those crimson eyes.
The thin body swayed gently, separated from their arms and partner, Cry and Han Fei distanced themselves from each other.
"Why are you so far away from me?" Han Fei squatted on the ground, looking at Cry standing in the corner of the wall. A trace of sorrow appeared in his eyes. "Don't you want to be friends with me? We can play all sorts of games together, we..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Han Fei suddenly heard a latch springing open behind him. The tightly locked anti-theft door was opened.
When he turned around, the black figure standing in the corner had already disappeared, leaving only a shattered spirit altar on the ground.
"You don't even want to talk to me?"
Standing up, Han Fei's face was filled with pain as he gathered the fragments of the spirit altar.
"My name is Han Fei, and I live upstairs from you. If you want someone to play with, you can visit me anytime."
Han Fei didn't leave immediately. He seemed as if he wanted to find Cry in the room, quietly walking around.
Pushing open door after door, he finally saw the unconscious Meng Shi and Chenchen next to the overturned bed in the bedroom.
Supporting the two of them, Han Fei finally left Room 1034.
He closed the door of Room 1034, and the cold wind in the corridor blew on his face. Only then did Han Fei realize that he could hardly move anymore. Both his mind and body had reached their limits.
Enduring the pain, Han Fei found the key on Meng Shi's body. He then escorted the grandmother and granddaughter back to their room.
Closing the anti-theft door, Han Fei turned on all the lights in the room. In his mind, he heard the cold mechanical synthesizing voice.
"Player with ID 0000, please note! G-level hidden task to find Chenchen has been completed! Meng Shi's friendliness increased by thirty! Obtained basic reward - one free skill point!"
"Attention! Different rewards are given for different completion rates of hidden tasks! Not only did you find Chenchen, but you also successfully rescued her, exceeding one hundred percent completion rate! Bonus double experience! Additional unique reward for hidden task - exclusive skill Hide and Seek."
"Hide and Seek (exclusive passive skill, cannot be upgraded with skill points): You are a master of Hide and Seek. When you are hiding, your presence will be reduced to the minimum, and ghosts will easily overlook your existence. When you are searching for others, your five senses will be enhanced, noticing those easily overlooked details."
"Player with ID 0000, please note! You have successfully upgraded to Level 3! One free attribute point!"
"Player with ID 0000, please note! You have reached Level 3! Chat room function is now open!"
Staring at the task panel, Han Fei finally relaxed. Although this mission was dangerous, the rewards were quite generous.
Not only did he directly advance to Level 3, but he also gained an exclusive skill, Hide and Seek.
Just by looking at the skill description, it seemed to have no direct effect, but for Han Fei at this moment, this skill was crucial. It could reduce the probability of being discovered by ghosts when hiding and enhance his senses when searching for clues. It was truly a divine skill in the early stage of development.
Han Fei allocated his free skill point to acting. Now his acting level was at a moderate Level 3, and he allocated the attribute point he obtained to stamina.
He felt that his stamina was too weak, lacking any sense of security.
"I heard the system notification earlier that the chat room function has been opened. Are there other players in this underworld game?"
Opening the attribute panel, Han Fei found the chat room option at the bottom of the panel. When he clicked on it, he was shocked.
There were 999 chat rooms in this underworld game, each with its own number, but strangely, all the chat rooms were greyed out and inaccessible.
"I've already reached Level 3, so why can't I enter these chat rooms? Weren't these chat rooms prepared for me? Are there other players in this game?" Han Fei looked at his ID - 0000, feeling as if he was the only player in this game.
Resting for a while, Han Fei finally got up from the ground. "The mission has been completed. Now I just need to stay here for three hours, and then I can go out and explore."
Han Fei picked up Meng Shi's key. He had found it earlier to open the door. Now, when he was about to return it to her, he suddenly thought of something.
"Meng Shi and Chenchen don't know when they will wake up. For me, this is a good opportunity to investigate the room." Han Fei glanced at the locked bedroom. "Should I trust Meng Shi or check it out myself?"
With the key in his hand, Han Fei stared at the door for a long time, then chose to give up.
Meng Shi was the only friend he could trust right now. He didn't want to create any rifts in the "harmonious relationship" among the neighbours.
With the key in his hand, Han Fei reached out towards Meng Shi, but he put the key back into the elderly woman's pocket when he retracted his arm. Suddenly, a cold mechanical voice resounded in his mind.
"Player with ID 0000, please note! Meng Shi's friendliness increased by ten! She fully trusts you! She now considers you as her family!"
Hearing the voice in his mind, Han Fei immediately realized that Meng Shi had never been unconscious. She was clever and had been pretending to be unconscious all along.
After completing the mission to save Chenchen, Meng Shi's friendliness had increased by thirty, and just now, it increased by ten. Now, Meng Shi truly regarded Han Fei as her family.
Han Fei, who understood everything in his heart, didn't show anything on his face.
He acted as if he knew nothing and quietly helped the old woman and Chenchen. Then he went to the bathroom to find a towel and carefully wiped away the dirt on Chen Chen's face and arms.
After about half an hour, the elderly woman finally regained her "consciousness." She "woke up" slowly and became extremely excited when she saw Chenchen beside her, expressing immense gratitude to Chen Ge.
That gratitude was not faked, as seen from the thirty increases in friendliness when the mission was completed.
"Han Fei, I really don't know how to thank you. I never expected that there would be someone in the world willing to take such great risks to save someone they have only met a few times."
"When I first moved here, you were the first to come and find me, inviting me for a meal and reminding me that 1044 is a haunted house. I keep those favours in my heart." Han Fei scratched his head awkwardly. "Actually, I don't have many relatives. It was only when I came to your house for the first time that I found a sense of home. I didn't realize that a home could be so warm."
Han Fei's gaze seemed to be reminiscing about the feeling back then. He helped the old woman to a chair. "Auntie, please rest well. I'll be leaving now. If you ever need anything, feel free to come upstairs and find me. And if it's okay with you, I'd like to consider you as my family."
Perhaps Han Fei's last words touched the softest part of the old woman's heart. As Han Fei prepared to leave, the old woman slowly stood up.
"Han Fei, I'm not as kind as you think I am. I have a secret that has been tormenting me." The old woman seemed to age even more, taking out her key and walking towards the locked bedroom. "Follow me. I'll show you the room you're so curious about."
The thin body swayed gently, separated from their arms and partner, Cry and Han Fei distanced themselves from each other.
"Why are you so far away from me?" Han Fei squatted on the ground, looking at Cry standing in the corner of the wall. A trace of sorrow appeared in his eyes. "Don't you want to be friends with me? We can play all sorts of games together, we..."
