60: Chapter 60: Soaring Friendliness 60: Chapter 60: Soaring Friendliness Han Fei followed Xu Qin into room 1052.
He watched as she turned on the bathroom faucet to wash her hands, the previously clean sink quickly turning red.
“What would you like to eat today?” Xu Qin said, her head lowered, seriously washing her hands, even cleaning out the blood from under her fingernails.
“Sis, I came here today to discuss something with you.” Han Fei put the Human Pupa on the dining table.
“I got a little thing from a neighbor on the sixth floor.”
Those people aren’t neighbors, they are Outsiders who came in from outside.” After washing her hands, Xu Qin picked up the Human Pupa from the dining table.
“Is this what you want to give me?”
“It’s called a Human Pupa, a kind of Insect Pupa.
I felt it was quite rare, so I thought I’d bring it to you.”
I haven’t tried it before; I wonder what it tastes like?” Xu Qin’s pale fingers pinched the Insect Pupa, her crimson eyes shifting to Han Fei.
“What flavor would you like?”
“I don’t plan on eating it just yet,” Han Fei said, his face wearing a naive smile.
“When the Outsider on the sixth floor was dying, all that was in his pocket was this thing.
It must be quite important to those Outsiders, so I was thinking we could use it to lure out the people on the sixth floor.”
“Lure the people from the sixth floor out of their rooms, and then what?” Slowly, a sick excitement began to emerge in Xu Qin’s crimson eyes as she looked expectantly at Han Fei.
“Those guys don’t really follow the rules.
I want to have a proper talk with them, set some boundaries,” Han Fei sat earnestly at the dining table, acting very obedient, as if harboring no ill intentions.
“Just a talk?” Xu Qin looked at the Dinner Knife in her hand.
“What if they don’t want to talk?”
“Then we’ll use a vote to decide, minority must obey the majority, and force them to change,” Han Fei’s every word was civilized.
There are just two of us; we are the minority.”
“Sis, you’ve counted wrong.
If they refuse to talk, then only one of them will be left,” Han Fei’s innocence and clarity in his eyes as he looked at Xu Qin.
“And the one who remains can help us find more Outsiders in the future.”
Their eyes met, and Xu Qin’s smile grew even wider, clearly very pleased with Han Fei.
“Attention Player number 0000!
Xu Qin’s friendliness has increased by five!
Harmonious neighbor relations are the first step to a Perfect Life!”
A system prompt inexplicably came to Han Fei’s mind.
He didn’t know why Xu Qin’s friendliness had increased, but he guessed it was probably because she appreciated him.
Han Fei opened the task panel and discovered that the task to explore the fifth floor hadn’t been completed yet.
After some thought, he realized that the task hadn’t been completed because there were two rooms on the fifth floor he hadn’t entered yet.
Now that he had been there for three hours, as soon as he completed the task, he would be able to quit the game, and then he could show his true courage.
“I can’t quit the game.
I’m always restricted, and maybe even looked down upon by Xu Qin.”
Muttering to himself, Han Fei closed the task panel and once again looked at Xu Qin.
“When I just came to the fifth floor, you seemed to be in room 1054.
Are all four rooms on this floor yours?”
“Originally only room 1052 was mine, but gradually my neighbors willingly surrendered their apartments to me.” Xu Qin bit her finger, blood sliding down her lips.
“I don’t know why they would do that.”
“That is indeed quite strange.” Han Fei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
“What’s inside rooms 1054 and 1053?
Did the moving neighbors leave anything behind?
“Of course, no problem, just as long as you’re not afraid,” Xu Qin giggled.
“Once, I did a small favor for the old lady on the third floor, and she came to thank me.
At the time I was in room 1054.”
“What happened next?”
“She saw something in room 1054 and never came to see me again.”
“Elderly people have a weaker ability to accept new things, but a young person like me is different.” Han Fei got up and walked towards the door.
Xu Qin watched Han Fei’s back, licked the blood off her lips, and picked up the dinner knife on the table to follow him, “Don’t stay in the hallway too long, careful you get taken away.”
Once outside the door, Xu Qin’s voice became much quieter.
If Xu Qin was , it meant there were even more terrifying things hidden in the apartment building.
“Room 1053 is my storeroom.
I keep some rare ingredients and my own crafts here.” Xu Qin opened the door to room 1053, which was filled with various objects made from polished bones and a lot of odd specimens.
“Did you make these by hand?”
“That’s amazing!” Han Fei carefully walked among the heaps of bones, occasionally looking back at Xu Qin at the door, thinking about how he should interact with this neighbor.
Usually, to understand a woman, one might consider her hobbies, her pets, the contents of her purse, and her relationships with people around her.
Applying this to Xu Qin, she liked to eat ghosts; her pet was a room; she had no purse, only a variety of knives; her neighbors gave her their houses to avoid her.
All in all, this woman was indeed quite rare.
“Room 1054 is where I handle my ingredients; some ingredients struggle a lot, so the room is a bit messy.” After visiting room 1053, Xu Qin led Han Fei to room 1054.
Pushing open the door, a chilly breath hit them, followed by a strong smell of blood.
This room was almost covered with bloodstains, a huge chopping block stood on the floor, and the walls were marred with scratches and chips.
If Han Fei hadn’t seen the horrifying scenes of Human-body Puzzle victims merging into each other, he probably would have been overwhelmed by now.
His heart pounded wildly, but he moved around the room without showing any signs of distress.
The only good news was that the scratches on the walls didn’t seem to be made by human hands, but rather seemed like they were left by some kind of monster.
“It is indeed a bit messy.” Han Fei showed no fear on his face; after looking around, he returned to Xu Qin’s side, “Sister, I know you’re usually busy.
If you don’t mind, I can take care of rough chores like cleaning.”
Blood-red eyes fixed on Han Fei, Xu Qin had imagined many scenarios, but she had never expected Han Fei to offer such help after seeing her hellish kitchen.
“You just focus on doing what you like, concentrate on exploring gourmet food.
Your hands are born for cooking; let me handle the rough work from now on.”
By saying this, Han Fei sought to close the gap with Xu Qin, which might facilitate him getting to taste even more high-level dishes she made, and he could possibly increase his own attributes.
But he hadn’t expected that after saying these words, Xu Qin’s pathologically red eyes would fixate intensely on him.
“I think someone said the same thing before, but he lied to me,” said Xu Qin, biting her finger, staring at the blood-stained knife, “Then he disappeared.
Why can’t I remember anything?”
“Player number 0000, please note!
You have successfully explored all the rooms on the fifth floor.
Task level G – Explore the fifth floor has been completed!
