My Healing Games

Chapter 83, Eighth Floor
"That footsteps again!"

Han Fei immediately stopped what he was doing, turned around and hid in room 1062.

He pressed his body against the door, his eyes peering through the peephole into the hallway outside.

"Even Xu Qin doesn't want to face the owner of that footstep. Just how terrifying must it be?"

The footsteps quickened, and the ring on Han Fei's hand began to emit a chilling aura. That thing was coming!

Holding his breath, Han Fei remained in his position, wanting to see what the other person looked like.

The footsteps stopped on the sixth floor, and the coolness emanating from the landlord's ring almost froze Han Fei's fingers off.

Han Fei knew the other person was at the door, but he couldn't see anything through the peephole. The corridor was pitch black, and there wasn't a single ghost in sight.

"The Invisible Neighbor?"

Not knowing what the other person looks like, only knowing that they exist, makes this unknown terror even more frightening.

"Could he be watching me through the peephole right now?"

Han Fei was startled by his own sudden thought. He huddled behind the security door, afraid to make a sound.

It was very quiet outside the door, just like usual. If Han Fei hadn't possessed the landlord's ring and been able to sense that astonishing chill, he probably would have thought the other party had already left.

"That ghost is still waiting for me at the door!"

The two sides waited for fifteen minutes before footsteps sounded again, and the ghost outside the door left.

"What exactly is he? He can't be seen, but he really exists, and he makes those strange footsteps."

Once the ring stopped emitting a cool sensation, Han Fei quietly pushed open the door and quickly opened the door to room 1063.

He searched every room on the sixth floor, and a system notification appeared in his mind.

"Attention Player 0000! The G-level main quest, Exploring the Sixth Floor, has been completed. You have received the basic reward of +1 Free Skill Point."

"Attention player number 0000! You have successfully leveled up to level five! One free attribute point added!"

After completing the mission, Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief. He added attribute points to stamina and skill points to acting.

His stamina is now at level eight, and his acting skills are at intermediate level seven. It shouldn't be long before he breaks through to advanced level.

"After my physical strength improved, all my physical indicators improved. Even in real life, I would probably be considered a pretty good fighter now, right?"

Han Fei brandished his fist, comparing himself to the scarred outsider he had encountered before: "My speed is about the same as his, but my stamina is still lacking. I estimate that if I level up a few more times, the next time I encounter a similar killer, he'll be the one running away."

Only after confirming that he could freely exit the game did Han Fei begin the human body jigsaw puzzle task.

The most difficult part of this F-level mission is that players have to search for body parts throughout the entire apartment building, and one wrong move could attract something terrifying.

But it was different for Han Fei. In reality, he figured out the hidden location of the remaining body parts and, by comparing them with the information left behind by Meng Changxi, he easily found the three "puzzle pieces".

It's called a jigsaw puzzle, but it's actually just the missing body parts of the victims.

According to the system's analysis, in addition to the astonishing curses and resentment remaining on these mutilated body parts, it seems that some special emotions are also hidden.

"I've already found all the easy ones. The remaining four puzzle pieces are on the eighth floor and the ninth floor. I haven't been there yet."

"After exiting the game today, there's only one day left for this task. It's almost impossible to find all four puzzle pieces on the eighth and ninth floors within one day."

Han Fei took a deep breath: "If I don't want the mission to fail, I have to find more puzzle pieces today."

The rewards for accepting a mission beyond one's level for the first time must be very generous, and Han Fei was unwilling to give it up easily.

He decided to take advantage of the opportunity to freely exit the game and go check out the eighth floor; if all else failed, he would simply quit.

“Meng Shi had warned me before that there was something wrong with the stairs between the seventh and eighth floors. If I went there after midnight, I might end up in another place and see something special.”

I carefully made my way to the seventh floor. The door to room 1064 was closed, but it wasn't locked.

"Who closed the door? The owner of that eerie footstep? Doesn't it want to look in the mirror either?"

What an opponent is unwilling to do may be their weakness.

"Could a mirror reflect his image?"

Han Fei noticed this detail, but his relationship with the mirror on the seventh floor was even worse now. If he dared to appear in front of the mirror, he would probably anger the mirror ghost so much that it would crawl out.

"Take your time, don't rush."

Stopping on the steps between the seventh and eighth floors, Han Fei carefully observed and discovered that there was a lot of bloodstains scattered on the steps.

"It looks like a lot of people have died on these steps."

Han Fei tried stepping on the stairs between the seventh and eighth floors and didn't feel anything unusual. He walked up step by step, but the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.

"Gudong!"

A voice suddenly came to his ear, followed by a piercing laugh.

"The sound seems to be coming from right next to me?"

He was used to leaning against the wall when going upstairs, and when he looked to his side, his face instantly turned very pale.

The walls were covered with strange and unusual paintings, and several young people were grabbing a middle-aged man by the hands and feet, seemingly trying to tear him apart.

"Is that the young man on the wall laughing?"

Han Fei looked at the group of young people. As he moved his gaze, he saw one of the young men on the wall turn his head, as if he were secretly glancing at Han Fei.

His heart skipped a beat, but Han Fei showed no unease on his face. He pretended not to hear the strange sound at all and ran up to the eighth floor in one breath.

"The house is haunted, the stairwell is haunted, and now even the steps and walls are not safe."

After Han Fei left the steps, the smell of blood in the air dissipated. He looked back at the wall, but there was nothing there.

"Could it be that there are ghosts on the walls? They can steal people's souls? But why do they only appear between the seventh and eighth floors?"

Han Fei was lucky this time and didn't get infected, but he couldn't guarantee he would be so lucky every time: "It's too dangerous to have such a hidden danger in the stairwell. Maybe I should try setting fire to the wall? I just don't know where there might be gasoline or something in the building."

Thinking of a solution, Han Fei slowly made his way to the door of room 1084, where the "puzzle piece" he was looking for was hidden.

Grasping the doorknob, Han Fei opened the door with a little force.

"Unlocked?"

Han Fei was somewhat surprised, but before he could recover, the eerie footsteps reappeared.

This time he heard it clearly; the voice was coming from the ninth floor, right above his head!
The opponent was very fast, and Han Fei had no time to hesitate. He immediately hid in room 1084.
