Chapter 53: Names Written by the Deceased
The food prepared by Xu Qin contained a certain curse. There was a 95% chance of being cursed upon the first consumption, and a 1% chance of gaining random attribute points.
Han Fei had previously searched for information on the "Perfect Life" official website and found that such food with special effects was extremely rare, and hardly anyone at this stage could make it.
Having finally encountered this opportunity, Han Fei certainly wasn't going to let it go.
Although those foods looked strange, the additional attribute points were tangible. Moreover, Xu Qin's cooking was indeed delicious, and he had no idea what special ingredients she had added.
After finishing the pig heart, Han Fei became bolder. He looked at the other dishes on the table and said, "Should I eat a strand of hair too?"
After hesitating for a moment, Han Fei dismissed the thought. The hair emitted continuous screams, and just listening to it was creepy.
He picked a dish with a relatively normal appearance on the table and used his chopsticks to take a bite, secretly using the system to identify it.
However, to his disappointment, it seemed that all the dishes made by Xu Qin contained the same curse, and the special effect only occurred upon the first consumption.
"These dishes are all G-grade food. With Xu Qin's passion for gourmet food, if I can provide higher-grade ingredients, she might be able to make food beyond the G-grade." Looking at the table filled with dishes, Han Fei lavished more praise on Xu Qin.
This woman, with her deranged eyes, blood-stained lips, and fondness for eating strange things, had transformed into a kind, beautiful, skilful, and gentle neighbour sister in Han Fei's words.
Most importantly, Xu Qin seemed to rarely receive such compliments from others, making her more and more fond of Han Fei.
"Among all the people who have come to eat at my place, you are the one who makes me the happiest. I will make more delicious dishes to share with you in the future."
"You mentioned that I was the third person to eat at your place. Who were the other two?" Han Fei wanted to know who those daring neighbours were who dared to eat here.
"The previous building manager used to come to my place for meals, but unfortunately, he had no understanding of cooking and had poor taste."
"The building manager came?" Han Fei immediately became spirited. He was eager to obtain information about the building manager.
"The building manager had a good relationship with the residents in the apartment. Unfortunately, he mysteriously disappeared later, and no one knows where he is now." Xu Qin said as she searched under her red coat and found a key, "But he should have been prepared. Before he disappeared, he gave me the key to the iron door at the entrance of the apartment building."
She gently tossed the rusty key in her hand, and her blood-red lips curled up, "He knew that I go out to buy groceries every week, and he was worried that I wouldn't be able to buy them and would instead harvest the vegetables inside the building. So, he thoughtfully gave me the key. From this, he probably knew that something unexpected would happen to him."
Xu Qin's words sounded ordinary, but Han Fei knew that her idea of buying groceries was not what normal people understood.
"After the building manager disappeared, the spare keys in the building were stolen, and many outsiders infiltrated the apartment building. Some of them are currently living on the sixth floor." The woman's smile became alluring to the point of being eerie. She reached out and touched the leather pad under the dining plate, "The second neighbour who came to eat at my place was one of those outsiders. He used to live on the sixth floor. That person wasn't interested in food, so to help him understand the meaning of gourmet food, I specially kept his skin."
Xu Qin's pale fingers slowly moved on the smooth leather pad. Han Fei's eye twitched, and his legs trembled slightly, but he managed to maintain composure in his upper body.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing." Han Fei quickly regained his calmness. He licked his lips without leaving a trace, then muttered to himself, "I'm just thinking, if one person is enough to be a pad under the dining plate, then if you gather them all, maybe you can change to a new tablecloth."
Hearing Han Fei's words, the woman laughed even more happily, "You can actually guess what I'm thinking."
Han Fei had no idea what Xu Qin was thinking. He simply didn't have a favourable impression of those outsiders on the sixth floor. After all, one of them had tried to kill him without any reason. It seemed that those outsiders were completely dominated by malice and a desire for slaughter.
As he watched Xu Qin's joyful smile, Han Fei also smiled along. He finished the dish in front of him and looked at the other plates, still wanting more, "It's a blessing to be able to eat the food you cook. I will bring more ingredients for you in the future."
The dining table was filled with joy. If the plates didn't contain hair and dolls, if the walls around didn't have bloodstains and traces of painful struggles, then it would be even more perfect.
After a pleasant dinner, Han Fei left Room 1052 with Xu Qin's company.
He had many questions he wanted to ask, but since it was his first visit, his primary goal was not to inquire but to improve their friendliness.
Returning to the ominous house in 1044, Han Fei found that his back was completely drenched in cold sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of water.
"Xu Qin's family lives on the fifth floor. She occupies an entire floor by herself. This alone shows how dreadful she is."
Han Fei felt that he had gained a lot today. Not only did he level up, but he also strengthened the relationship with his neighbours.
Most importantly, Xu Qin mentioned that she goes out to buy groceries every week. Han Fei thought that in the future, after their friendliness reached one hundred, he would ask Xu Qin if she could take him out of the apartment building.
This city, shrouded in darkness with no visible boundaries, required someone familiar with the outside world to find a way out.
After closing the anti-theft door, Han Fei looked toward the bedroom at the deepest part of the ominous house. The door remained tightly shut.
When Han Fei first logged into the game, he didn't dare to go there, but now that he could exit the game at any time, his courage grew.
Silently, he walked to the deepest part of the ominous house and lightly knocked on the bedroom door.
No sound came from inside the room. After a moment, Han Fei opened the door.
The architectural layout of the apartment building was flawed, and the accumulated gloom and ill fortune of the entire home concentrated in the room at the deepest part. As soon as the bedroom door opened, the temperature noticeably dropped.
Han Fei was mentally prepared, but he was still somewhat surprised when he looked inside.
Seven victims with mutilated bodies stood with lowered heads by the bed. Each person's body started to bleed, and the blood converged together, faintly revealing the silhouette of a monster.
These seven people were desperately resisting the
despair within them. They didn't want to become that monster.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Han Fei scanned those numb, cold faces. "I will seek revenge for you, for the great injustice you have suffered!"
All seven victims heard Han Fei's words, but only Wei Youfu seemed to understand what Han Fei was saying.
Lifting his previously lowered head, he endured unimaginable pain. Before his body was torn apart completely, he gestured the character "安" (peace) in the air with his hand.
"An? Meng Changan?"
