My Healing Games

Chapter 82 Clearing out the sixth floor
Even when the photo was zoomed in to its maximum size, Han Fei still couldn't make out what the blurry black shadow was. He stared blankly at the screen, his brain working frantically.

"The other party deliberately took this photo, probably to tell me something through it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken a picture with my phone, let alone kept it on my phone."

"But why would it do that? Could it be that it can't communicate with me, or that it only appears when I'm playing games? Is it trying to give me a hint in this way?"

Han Fei was increasingly confused. The photo gave him the creeps and even shattered the joy of his dream coming true.

“My phone has fingerprint unlock. He moved my body, but he didn’t hurt me. The person who took the photo probably didn’t want to harm me. Besides, the photo was taken the day after I started playing the game. If he wanted to harm me, he could have killed me then.”

"Could it be that the gravedigger from the secondhand store came and took the photo?"

Han Fei sensed that things weren't so simple. He had also discovered various problems with the black box: "Many people are looking for the black box, the original developer of 'Perfect Life,' and the insane butterfly. Perhaps I will encounter more strange and terrifying people in the future."

Those people are looking for the black box, but the black box is in Han Fei's mind. If they want to get the black box, they probably have to open Han Fei's head.

Slowly clenching his five fingers, Han Fei recalled that when he first exited the game, the system had reminded him to speed up his exploration progress.

"The black box is in my mind, and I can't get rid of it even if I quit the game. All I can do now is explore the game and level up. Maybe the truth is hidden in the game."

Han Fei was staring blankly at the game helmet on the table when there was a knock on the door.

He was startled, hid the fruit knife behind his back, and quietly crept to the door.

Looking through the peephole, Han Fei saw Li Xue standing at his door.

Putting away the fruit knife, Han Fei's expression returned to normal as he opened the door: "Why did you come here? Did your boss send you back to the criminal investigation team?"

“I want to go back too, but now my superiors have given me a new task.” Li Xue entered the room and closed the door. “He said that before Butterfly is caught, I should work at the police station. I don’t need to do anything else. My main task is to patrol the neighborhood where you are.”

"He wants you to protect me?"

"That's roughly the idea. You're now under close protection. This area looks the same as usual, but it's actually heavily guarded. If Butterfly dares to show herself, she'll definitely be caught." Li Xue picked up the cup on the table and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water. "I just came to tell you that there are also new surveillance cameras installed in this apartment building. If you encounter any danger, just run to a place with surveillance cameras and wave your hand, and the on-duty police officer will come immediately."

"Thank you so much." Han Fei was feeling insecure at the moment, and the police protection made him feel much more at ease.

"Of course." Li Xue told Han Fei the location of the surveillance cameras in the apartment building, and then left.

"Police protection is to my advantage; at least that way I can play games without worry."

Han Fei glanced at the clock on the wall; it was still early, so he picked up the book on the table and began to study.

As midnight approached, Han Fei began to recall the structure of the apartment building in the game: "When I logged out last time, I had already left room 1074. After logging back in, all I had to do was run downstairs."

Han Fei rehearsed the movements in his mind several times, memorizing each one before connecting the various wires and putting on the gaming helmet.

As the crimson light descended, Han Fei, without waiting for the notification sound in his mind, rushed downstairs like a cheetah the moment he opened his eyes.

Without looking back, he ran straight to room 1044.

He breathed a sigh of relief after entering the room.

"The person guarding the body on the seventh floor is not there; it seems to be a respectable person."

After closing the door, Han Fei went to the bedroom closest to the living room in the haunted house and lay down comfortably on the bed.

"Take a one-hour break, then spend an hour reviewing the books you've read at home, and then practice fighting skills for an hour."

Han Fei's rest wasn't about lying down to sleep, but about thinking. In the bedroom of the haunted house, he pondered all the things that needed to be done and the various doubts in his mind. He desperately needed answers.

After enduring the initial three hours, Han Fei opened the attribute panel and first added the skill points obtained from the hidden quest to acting skills. Then he looked at the quest panel.

"I have two days left to complete the F-level mission - Human Body Puzzle. If I can complete this mission beyond my current level, it will definitely benefit me greatly." Han Fei took out the landlord's spare key from his inventory: "I have the keys to all the doors in this building, but there are no room number tags on the keys. I need to try them one by one, which will waste a lot of time. It is very dangerous to stay in the treacherous stairwell. If I can persuade Xu Qin to come with me, that would be great."

"Besides the Human Body Puzzle quest, there's also a G main quest in the quest log: Explore the Sixth Floor. The outsiders on the sixth floor should be mostly dead by now. I'll complete this quest first, and then I can freely exit the game before searching for the human body puzzle pieces scattered throughout the apartment building."

Han Fei was very clear-headed; he knew how to use the rules of the game to protect himself, avoiding recklessness while maximizing his benefits.

Having made preparations, Han Fei wasted no more time and quietly left room 1044.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the apartment building seemed a bit deserted.

"During the time I was away, did any of the neighbors move away?"

Han Fei leaned against the wall and slowly made his way to the fifth floor. To his dismay, he discovered that Xu Qin had not yet returned.

"Could something have happened to her? She hasn't been home for two days!"

Han Fei tried knocking on the door, but received no response, so he had to go up to the sixth floor alone.

Almost all the outsiders living on the sixth floor were killed in the hunt for Han Fei, so the sixth floor is now relatively safe.

"When I was doing the mission to explore the fifth floor, I had to visit all four rooms before I could complete the mission. This mission to explore the sixth floor should be similar."

Han Fei took out the landlord's spare key, controlled his breathing, and began trying each key one by one.

Throughout the entire process, Han Fei did not utter a sound.

Perhaps it was his high luck that worked, because Han Fei opened the door to room 1061 after only a few tries. Inside, he saw a lot of blood and tools used for torture.

"Xu Qin is right, these outsiders can't even be considered human beings."

In just over ten minutes, Han Fei had "emptied" rooms 1061 and 1062. He had looted everything the system could identify, including some poisons concocted by the effeminate man and blood bags used to accelerate the growth of human pupae.

Han Fei had been to room 1064 before, and now he only needs to enter room 1063 to complete the exploration mission.

Everything had been going smoothly until now, but just as he was about to check into room 1063, the strangest footsteps suddenly rang out in the hallway, very close to him.
