Chapter 60: Rising Friendliness
Han Fei followed Xu Qin into Room 1052, watching as she turned on the faucet in the bathroom to wash her hands. The previously clean sink was instantly dyed red.
"What would you like to eat today?" Xu Qin lowered her head, diligently cleaning her hands and making sure to remove all the blood stains from under her nails.
"Sis, I came here today to discuss something with you." Han Fei placed the human chrysalis in his hand on the dining table. "I obtained something from the neighbour on the sixth floor."
"The sixth floor? Those people aren't neighbours; they came from the outside." After finishing washing her hands, Xu Qin picked up the human chrysalis from the dining table. "Is this what you want to give me?"
"It's called a human chrysalis. It's the chrysalis of a certain insect. I feel like it's quite rare, so I thought of bringing it to you."
"A human chrysalis? I've never eaten one before. I wonder what it tastes like." Xu Qin held the bug chrysalis in her pale fingers, her crimson eyes gazing at Han Fei. "What flavour do you want?"
"For now, I don't have any plans to eat it." Han Fei had a pure smile on his face. "When the outsider on the sixth floor died, this was the only thing in his pocket. It should be important to those outsiders. I'm thinking if we can use this to lure them out."
"Lure the people on the sixth floor out of their rooms, and then what?" A sickening excitement slowly filled Xu Qin's crimson eyes as she looked at Han Fei with anticipation.
"They aren't very obedient, so I want to have a good chat with them and get them to change their ways." Han Fei sat obediently at the dining table, behaving very well as if he had no ulterior motives.
"Just a chat?" Xu Qin looked at the knife in her hand. "What if they don't want to chat?"
"Then we'll use a vote to decide. Majority rules, and we'll force them to change." Every word Han Fei used was very civilized.
"Are you sure? There are only two of us, and we would be the minority."
"Sis, you miscounted. If they don't want to chat, there will only be one person left." Han Fei looked at Xu Qin with innocent, clear eyes. "The person who remains can help us find more outsiders in the future."
Their gazes met, and the smile on Xu Qin's face grew even stronger. She seemed very satisfied with Han Fei.
"Player with ID 0000, please take note! Xu Qin's friendliness has increased by five! Having a harmonious relationship with neighbours is the first step towards a perfect life!"
An inexplicable prompt from the system echoed in Han Fei's mind. He didn't understand why Xu Qin's friendliness had increased, but he felt that it was probably because she appreciated him.
Han Fei opened the quest panel and realized that he still hadn't completed the task of exploring the fifth floor.
After giving it some thought, he believed that the reason the task hadn't been completed was that there were two rooms on the fifth floor he hadn't entered yet.
He had already stayed for three hours, and if he could complete this task, he could exit the game at any time. Then he could show his true courage.
"I can't quit the game. I always feel restrained. Plus, Xu Qin might look down on me."
Muttering silently in his heart, Han Fei closed the quest panel and looked at Xu Qin again. "When I came to the fifth floor earlier, it seemed like you were in Room 1054. Are all four rooms on this floor yours?"
"Originally, only Room 1052 was mine, but later my neighbours voluntarily gave me their rooms." Xu Qin bit her finger, and blood dripped down her lips. "I don't know why they did that."
"It's indeed strange." Han Fei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "What about Room 1054 and 1053? Did the neighbours who moved out leave anything behind? Can I look?"
"Of course, no problem. As long as you're not afraid." Xu Qin giggled. "Once, I helped an old lady on the third floor with a small favour, and she came over to thank me. I was in Room 1054 at that time."
"And then?"
"She saw something in Room 1054, and she never came to see me again."
"The elderly have a weaker ability to accept new things, but it's different for young people like me." Han Fei took the initiative and walked towards the door.
Watching Han Fei's back, Xu Qin licked the bloodstains on her lips and picked up the knife from the table, following him. "Don't stay in the corridor for too long. Be careful not to be caught."
After leaving the room, Xu Qin's voice became much softer.
If Xu Qin was like this, it meant that there were even scarier things hidden in the apartment building.
"Room 1053 is my storage room. I keep some rare ingredients and handicrafts I made in there." Xu Qin opened the door to Room 1053, revealing various items made from bones, along with a large pile of strange specimens.
"Did you make all these yourself?"
"Yes."
"That's amazing!" Han Fei cautiously walked among the pile of bones. Occasionally, he would glance back at Xu Qin at the door. In fact, he was also thinking about how to get along with this neighbour.
Typically, to understand a woman, one could start with her hobbies, the pets she owned, the items in her bag, and her relationships with those around her.
Applying this to Xu Qin, she liked to eat ghosts, her pet was a room, she didn't have a bag, only various knives, and her neighbours even gave her their houses to avoid her.
All in all, such a woman was indeed rare.
"Room 1054 is where I handle ingredients. Some of them struggle quite a bit, so the room is a bit messy." After finishing the tour of Room 1053, Xu Qin led Han Fei to Room 1054.
Opening the door to Room 1054, a chilling aura hit them, followed by a strong smell of blood.
The room was almost completely covered in blood stains, and there was a large chopping board standing upright on the floor. Scratches and damage could be seen all over the walls.
If Han Fei hadn't witnessed the horrifying scene of the victims of the body puzzle merging with each other, he would probably not be able to withstand it now.
His heart pounded rapidly, but he didn't show any signs of fear on his face as he walked around the room. The only good news now was that the scratches on the walls didn't seem to be made by human hands; they looked more like something left by a monster.
"It's indeed quite messy." Han Fei showed no signs of fear. After looking around, he returned to Xu Qin's side. "Sis, I know you're usually busy. If you don't mind, you can leave the cleaning and other chores to me."
Xu Qin looked at Han Fei,
her crimson eyes fixed on him. She had imagined many scenarios, but she never expected Han Fei to say something like this after visiting the kitchen from hell.
"Just focus on doing what you love, studying food with peace of mind. Your hands are naturally meant for cooking. Let me take care of the miscellaneous tasks from now on."
Han Fei said this to bring himself closer to Xu Qin, making it easier to taste the higher-level dishes she would make in the future. Perhaps he could even enhance his own attributes. But he didn't expect that after saying all this, Xu Qin's crimson, sickly eyes would be completely fixed on him.
"Someone seemed to have said the same thing before, but he deceived me." Xu Qin bit her finger and looked at the blood-stained knife. "After that, he disappeared. Where did he hide? Why can't I remember anything?"
"Player with ID 0000, please take note! You have successfully explored all the rooms on the fifth floor. Grade G mission - Explore the Fifth Floor - completed! You have gained a mission reward of one free skill point! Xu Qin's friendliness has increased by twenty!"
"What would you like to eat today?" Xu Qin lowered her head, diligently cleaning her hands and making sure to remove all the blood stains from under her nails.
