After Han Fei took out the human pupa, the person in room 1064 was completely captivated by it.
Seeing the other’s reaction, Han Fei deliberately put away the human pupa in front of them, “It seems I made a mistake.”
“You didn’t make a mistake, this insect pupa is indeed my friend’s, hand it over to me.” The security door opened slightly wider, and a scarred, skinny arm reached out from inside the room.
“So this is an insect pupa?
I thought it was a stone.” Han Fei placed the human pupa back into the item bar, looking puzzled at the tenant of 1064: “Didn’t you just say that no one in your family is missing?
Then this certainly can’t be yours, do you think I’m that easy to fool?”
The murderous intent in the tenant’s eyes flashed by.
He seldom tried to reason with people, and today he had already made an exception by saying so much, “Was the person who gave you this item a woman with long hair, whose face had been disfigured, and with the tattoo of a human-faced butterfly on her body?”
Hearing the tenant’s words, Han Fei was genuinely baffled.
He clearly remembered the killer on the sixth floor, who didn’t match the description given by the tenant.
Seeing that Han Fei had no reaction, the tenant from 1064 knew he had said something he shouldn’t have and quickly spoke up: “If it wasn’t that woman, then the one who gave you the insect pupa must be a burly man reeking of odor, with a scar near his eyebrow.
That man is my brother, he hasn’t come back after he went downstairs a few days ago.”
“The man who gave me the insect pupa is this man; he seemed to be chased by something and wanted me to keep the pupa for him temporarily.” Han Fei sighed deeply as he recalled the scene in his mind: “To tell the truth, he even saved my life.
If it weren’t for his help, I probably would have been killed by that monster.”
“Can you hand over the insect pupa to me now?
It’s of no use to you and will only bring misfortune,” the tenant from 1064 didn’t want to hear Han Fei’s story, his only desire was for the pupa.
“I can’t feel even a bit of concern for your brother in you; it seems you only care about the pupa.
I’m now having doubts whether you really are friends at all?” Han Fei could leave the game anytime he wanted, his heart was very calm, and he was even starting to get into his role a bit: “I can’t hand over something he valued so highly to a stranger.
He saved my life, and I must fulfill his last request.”
“If you truly want to repay him, give the item to me!” The tenant’s voice squeezed through his clenched teeth, with Han Fei’s torment making him feel like killing, his murky eyes filled with dark red blood vessels.
“As long as you can prove you are his friend or brother, I will give you the item.” Han Fei wasn’t afraid of the other person; compared to the sister on the fifth floor, the twisted tenant before him was like a snarling mutt.
The man’s eyeballs slowly turned as his murderous intent grew: “I have a lot of his belongings in my room; if you don’t believe me, you can come in and see.”
“If you have proof, then hurry up and show me!
You’re still asking me to go in?
Is this how you ask for a favor?” Han Fei stood in the hallway, his voice loud and brash, which made the man’s eyelid twitch.
“I’ll go get it for you now.” The man saw that he couldn’t deceive Han Fei into entering the room.
His murky eyes held a trace of malice as his voice came out in a low growl.
“Is your throat uncomfortable?
Can you speak up?
Stop dawdling!
Look?
Still looking?
Why are your eyes bloodshot?
Do you have conjunctivitis?” Han Fei shouted, one sentence after another, turning the neighbor on the sixth floor virtually bloodshot with frustration.
Nobody had ever spoken to him like that, the sound of grinding teeth was continuous, and the arm he hid behind his back was slowly but forcefully moving as if he couldn’t control the urge to plunge something into Han Fei’s chest.
The red pupils in his eyes were jumping about wildly, and the man’s shoulders trembled slightly.
He bit his own tongue, and blood seeped from between his clenched teeth.
Seeing such a terrifying expression on the neighbor, Han Fei opened the attribute panel, keeping an eye on the highlighted exit button while approaching the tall neighbor with earnest inquiry, “Do you suffer from epilepsy by any chance?”
Unable to bear it any longer, just as the man behind him was about to stretch out his hand, someone else in the room held down his arm.
A nearly two-meter-tall man emerged from the washroom cubicle of room 1064.
He had been hiding there, and if Han Fei had entered the room, the moment he stepped in, the other party would probably have attacked directly from the bathroom.
“Go fetch the cursed photo,” said the nearly two-meter-tall man, whose voice, though oddly soft, was exceedingly uncomfortable to hear.
The short and skinny man, on the verge of losing his sanity, paid no more attention to Han Fei and entered the room, taking out a black and white group photo from the bedroom.
There were about a dozen adults in the photo, of varying ages, with most of them having disfigured faces.
“We all used to work at a nearby cinema, and this is our group photo.
Do you believe me now?” The nearly two-meter-tall man kept his gaze fixed on the pupa.
“A single photo still doesn’t convince me,” Han Fei retrieved the human pupa from the item bar, as if he was deliberately playing with fire, pinching the pupa between two fingers, continually provoking the tenant of 1064.
The insect pupa was right before their eyes, the blood silk gradually taking over the eyes of the two outsiders.
“That brother saved my life; I must help him fulfill his last wish.
Although this thing is useless to me, I will find its true owner for him…”
“It’s clear you value loyalty.” Before Han Fei could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the tall man, “Since my brother was willing to hand this item over to you, it means you have earned his trust.
You are my brother’s friend, and that makes you my friend, too.”
The supple voice sounded as if a venomous snake was hissing in one’s ear.
The man slowly extended his hand outside of room 1064, “I haven’t seen you before, you must be new here, right?”
“Yes.”
“It’s very dangerous in this building, having more friends can help us look out for each other.” The man reached out his hand to Han Fei, seemingly wanting to shake hands, “My name is Insect Building, and you?”
“My name is…” Just as Han Fei was about to lift his hand, the nearly two-meter-tall man suddenly accelerated, his extended hand trying to grab Han Fei.
At the same time, the scrawny man from room 1064 also revealed the arm he had been hiding behind his back, clutching a knife all along.
These two perverts had never planned to let Han Fei go.
They acted simultaneously, intending to stab Han Fei with the knife the moment they caught him.
Their movements were very sudden, but Han Fei had also been prepared for a while.
He had never trusted them from the start and was only acting along.
The advantage of adding all the Attribute Points to Physical Strength after leveling up now became apparent, as Han Fei’s reaction speed had increased a lot.
He dodged, brushing past the other’s hand, and then fled madly downstairs.
“Catch him!”
Eager to get the Insect Pupae, the tenant of room 1064 closely followed Han Fei.
The temperature in the corridor was dropping continuously, and the noise they made was significant, seemingly attracting something even more sinister.
Han Fei was running ahead with the scrawny man wielding a knife right behind him.
They quickly arrived at the fifth floor, and the scrawny man seemed to be apprehensive.
He slowed down a bit until he saw Han Fei safely pass the fifth floor, then he suddenly started to speed up.
His facial features twisted and deformed, and he let out a creepy, cold chuckle, “You can’t escape!”
Han Fei and the scrawny man smoothly passed room 1051.
The tall man at the back didn’t think much of it, but just as he approached the doorway of room 1051, suddenly, a number of pitch-black hands reached out from the dark doorway.
Those invisible hands tried to drag him into room 1051.
Seeing his companion being caught, the scrawny man also stopped.
He felt that something was wrong and wanted to run back to the sixth floor, but then the door of room 1052 behind him opened at that moment.
A flash of red, two blood-stained dinner knives pierced into the skinny man’s flanks and out through his chest.
Before the scrawny man could scream, Han Fei pounced over and covered the man’s mouth.
The scene that followed was brutal and frenzied.
Xu Qin quickly dealt with the scrawny man, and room 1051 successfully swallowed Insect Building.
Xu Qin casually closed the door of room 1051, then looked upstairs.
Both she and Han Fei heard a strange sound of footsteps.
It sounded like someone was hopping down the stairs one step at a time, but the speed of the hopping was getting faster and faster!
“Come in!”
Xu Qin, clutching Han Fei’s clothes, entered room 1052.
As the footsteps were about to approach, Xu Qin closed the door of room 1052.
His heart pounding wildly, Han Fei felt a chill emanating continuously from the ring on his hand.
He could sense that there was a very terrifying creature outside the door.
They waited a full ten minutes before the chill gradually faded.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he turned his head only to see Xu Qin looking at him with those crimson eyes, “Why were you gone so long?”
“It has nothing to do with me, mainly because…” Han Fei looked towards the floor where the scrawny man was nearly torn apart, “They wanted to be friends with me, the kind that would go through fire and water for each other, sticking knives into their own ribs for a friend.”
