My Healing Games

Chapter 48 Han Fei's Gift

When the actor encounters the conman, they exchange pleasantries and act out a scene of meeting an old friend in a foreign land in the cold, gloomy stairwell.

Han Fei chatted with the ghost behind him for about half a minute, becoming more and more natural and enthusiastic, but he just wouldn't turn around. Several times he almost turned his head, but stopped at the crucial moment.

Gradually, the ghost behind Han Fei became impatient.

You've been calling me brother, but you don't even have the courage to look back at me. Isn't that obviously lying to ghosts?
The familiar voice gradually faded away, but Han Fei wasn't quite done yet. He called out a few more times in a low voice, and after receiving no response, his expression slowly changed: "Are you angry?"

The hallway was deathly silent. The ghost standing behind Han Fei knew that words couldn't lure Han Fei to turn around, so he seemed to be changing his strategy.

At that very moment, the ring on Han Fei's finger began to emit a cool sensation, and the ghost following behind him dropped its disguise.

The icy sensation on his fingertips intensified, and Han Fei couldn't judge the opponent's strength. His body instinctively wanted to move forward and create distance between them, but the ghost relentlessly followed behind him.

To make matters worse, Han Fei felt his body getting heavier and heavier, as if something was pressing down on him.

As the chill spread through his body, Han Fei smelled a faint stench, a smell he had never encountered before. It was somewhat like the smell of something rotting, and even a slight whiff made his stomach feel uncomfortable.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

Thick liquid kept dripping onto his back. Han Fei felt something strangling his neck. The other party seemed to know that it was impossible to trick him into turning around with words, so it was preparing to take action directly.

Breathing became difficult, and Han Fei's face turned red as he recalled this familiar feeling.

When he first logged into "Perfect Life", he was terrified by the ghost in the haunted house while doing the sleeping task, so he ran away.

He ran all the way to the first floor, at which point the motion-activated lights suddenly went out, and the hallway was pitch black.

Then something came up from the darkness and grabbed his neck like this.

Han Fei gradually figured it out: the victim in the haunted house hadn't attacked him, nor had he left the haunted house. The ghost that tried to strangle him was probably the one following him now.

"Why does this guy insist on making me turn around? Does he think that if I turn around and see his face, I'll become his scapegoat?"

Han Fei thought about it more and more and it seemed very likely. He had no experience when he first logged into the game and was so scared that he was only focused on running away. In the end, he faced a life-or-death crisis and logged off right in front of the other party.

"If the ghost following me now is the same ghost that wanted to kill me back then, then it is very likely that it knows I am alive, so it is understandable that it wants to capture me as a scapegoat."

Despite his neck being distorted from being strangled, Han Fei's thoughts were clearer than ever before: "Knowing I'm alive and having witnessed me log off, this ghost can't be allowed to live."

Although the guy on the third floor had seen Han Fei log off, Han Fei had intimidated him at the time. Besides, the guy was just a child and not nearly as cunning as the devil following him now.

The best way to deal with this kind of cunning and manipulative ghost is to let other ghosts devour him.

Han Fei can neither retreat nor turn back now, so it is almost impossible for him to take that ghost to the haunted house.

Think back to a detail from before: when the ghost followed, it first closed the door of the haunted house. This shows that the ghost was aware of the danger of the haunted house and would never have followed Han Fei into it.

Unable to lure the other party into the haunted house, Han Fei could only rely on the other ghosts in the building. Taking advantage of his remaining strength, Han Fei began to walk upstairs.

Breathing became increasingly difficult. Han Fei mustered all his strength to reach the fifth floor, hoping to ask his neighbor for help.

"Xu Qin..."

Han Fei stumbled as his shoes stepped on the bloodstains on the ground. He grabbed the doorknob of room 1052, calling out Xu Qin's name.

Xu Qin was not related to him by blood, and Han Fei knew that the chances of her saving him were slim, but he had no better choice at the moment.

Han Fei knocked on the security door, making a loud noise, but the motion-activated light seemed to be broken and didn't turn on at all, which once again confirmed Han Fei's guess.

He encountered something similar in the hallway when he first logged into the game.

The chill emanating from the ring grew stronger, and Han Fei realized that he had underestimated the ghost following behind him. Judging from the chill emanating from the ring alone, this ghost's strength was already equivalent to that of the victims in the two human figures puzzle.

What's even more frightening is that the chill emanating from the ring continues to intensify.

"anyone there!"

Han Fei started knocking on the door. Now was not the time to be polite. If he didn't make some noise, the ghost behind him would definitely kill him.

Normally, he wouldn't dare to do this, but now he just wanted to stir things up quickly and attract some ghosts to help him relieve the pressure.

He made a lot of noise on the fifth floor, but the residents on the fifth floor did not open their doors. Instead, the sound of doorknobs being turned could be heard from other floors.

At this moment, Han Fei was completely out of breath, and he had no choice but to look at room 1051.

The dark figure was originally standing in the hallway, but then disappeared, though the door to room 1051 was still open.

Han Fei moved quickly and arrived at the door of room 1051.

The room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen except for a chilling sense of malice emanating from it, as if once you entered, you would never be able to come out again.

"Meng Shi didn't mention room 1051 in the information she gave me. This room shouldn't be that scary!"

Han Fei couldn't care less about anything else now; he stepped directly into room 1051.

With his front legs stepping into the room, half of Han Fei's body was already inside room 1051 when the ghost following behind him suddenly let out a piercing scream. Its ten pale fingers, like fishhooks, gripped Han Fei's neck, trying to pull him out of the room.

A sharp pain shot through his neck. Just as Han Fei felt his neck was about to be snapped, the amulet hanging on his chest shattered with a crack.

An extremely cold aura erupted from the amulet, and the fingers that were gripping Han Fei's neck were flung away, allowing Han Fei to enter room 1051 smoothly.

Darkness enveloped everything. After Han Fei entered room 1051, the darkness inside became even more intense, as if all light entering the room would be swallowed up.

A chilling aura emanated from the ring, and a pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened in room 1051.

Looking into the sickly eyes in the darkness, Han Fei trembled, but he still waved to you in a friendly manner: "I live downstairs from you. This is my first time visiting, and I felt it wouldn't be right to come empty-handed, so I brought you a ghost."

A delicate balance has emerged: the ghost following Han Fei hasn't left, but it's reluctant to enter room 1051, while the thing hidden in room 1051 seems somewhat wary of the ghost behind Han Fei.
