Chapter 20 - The Bravery of People When They Are Afraid

"Chenchen grew up to be rather introverted, unwilling to take the initiative to play with the children in the compound, and was often alone."

"I don't know when he suddenly became lively, I was quite happy at the time, thinking that Chenchen had finally found his friends."

"But then I gradually realized that something was wrong. Chenchen always went out to play after seven o'clock at night, and when he came back, he was always dirty and had small cuts on his arms and cheeks."

"Once he was not back until very late, I was really uneasy so I asked the building manager to look for him, we searched for a long time and finally found Chenchen in the abandoned water tank in the neighborhood."

"He was all alone in the water tank, and his body kept shaking, we asked him what he was doing, and he said he was playing hide-and-seek with his friends."

"The building manager and I asked him the name of his friend, and Chenchen held it in for a long time before saying his friend was called 'Weep'."

"At that time, I felt strange, what kind of name would be called 'Weep'? The building manager's expression also changed at once when he heard the name, and he asked Chenchen if that 'Weep' lived on the third floor."

"Chenchen nodded, and then the building manager told a more horrible thing, the room on the third floor that is full of talisman paper although there has been no murder, there have been more bizarre things than murder."

"A long time ago in the district, there were constantly missing children, and finally all the clothes and belongings left by those children were found in room 1034 on the third floor."

"Room 1034 was like a child-eating house, and the situation did not improve until later when everyone completely sealed the doors and windows on the third floor."

"That child called 'Weep' has not appeared for a long time, and I never thought he would suddenly haunt Chenchen."

The wrinkles on the old woman's face were squeezed together, "Ever since I stopped letting Chen Chen go out to play with 'Weep', Chen Chen seemed to be possessed, his personality became irritable, often saying that someone was waiting for him and that someone was calling his name. Whenever I let him go out, he would run across the room and talk to himself through the door, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying. Finally, I had no choice but to lock him in the bedroom."

After listening to the old man's story, Han Fei's heart was also getting cold, there were many scary things in this building, but everyone was unwilling to go near room 1034, and finally, they were forced to seal that room, thus showing the horror of 'Weep'.

"Chenchen was locked in my bedroom, his personality is getting worse and worse, yesterday after dinner, I did not pay attention for a moment, and the boy ran out. When I chased him to the door, I realized that the door across the street was half open, and I don't know who removed the talisman paper on the door and the wooden boards nailed inside the door." The old woman sighed, she was really worried about Chenchen.

"It's possible that the talisman paper was torn by Chenchen, but the wooden board is probably too strong for him to remove, and it was the other tenants who did the damage." Han Fei felt that none of his neighbors were normal, so he thought about the problem directly from the worst perspective: "Has something big happened in this building recently?"

"I don't know." The granny shook her head and suddenly spoke after thinking for a while: "By the way, I haven't seen the building manager for a long time, it feels as if he has disappeared."

" Building manager?" Han Fei has heard this name more than once: "Grandma, who is the building manager you are talking about?"

"He was one of the earliest residents of the building, in his sixties, looked very kind, and had a good relationship with some of the old neighbors. But as those old neighbors left, the building manager's condition also got worst and worse."

" How can the condition after living in this place not be bad?" Han Fei carefully recalled Meng Shi's words, but he always felt that Meng Shi was talking about the building manager he seemed to have seen: "Grandma, the building manager you mentioned he was not the one with all white hair and a black mole on this side of his neck ..."

"Yes! Where did you see him?" The granny was surprised.

"It's really him?" The scattered clues in his mind were gradually put together into a line, the old man Han Fei just mentioned was the shopkeeper who sold him the gaming headset!

That old man is definitely not simple! The cemetery gatekeeper should only be one of his identities!

Han Fei's brain was running fast, and the information he had now was still too little: "Grandma, do you know where the building manager usually lives?"

"He lives in room 1101 on the tenth floor, are you planning to go find the building manager to save Chen Chen?" Meng Shi looked sad: "It's not safe in the hallway, besides we may encounter 'Weep' if we go out now."

Han Fei wrote down the number 1101, which was the most important clue he had obtained since entering the game: "To get to room 1101 you have to go upstairs, I'm only level 2 now, the probability of reaching the tenth floor alive is too low. I can't be in a hurry, I need to play it safe."

Looking at Meng Shi, Han Fei had an idea.

Chenchen was Meng shi's most important family member, and now that Chenchen was in danger, if he could save Chenchen, that would make Meng shi a companion you could trust completely.

In the past, Han Fei would not even think about teaming up with a 70-year-old woman, but in this situation now, every bit of strength is extremely valuable.

Just now Meng Shi saved his life, from the moral aspect, he is helping the old lady as a reward.

The other crucial point is that Han Fei is not prepared to enter the next room to look for Chen Chen, what he wants to do is to lure that 'Weep' to the fourth floor of the murder house and settle the 'Weep' once and for all.

One step back, even if the monster roommate didn't take out the 'Weep', as long as it could stall the 'Weep', he and the old lady would have time to enter the room on the third floor to look for Chenchen.

Even if they don't find Chen Chen, Han Fei's ability to risk his life to do this is enough to gain the old woman's trust.

As long as he can make the old woman trust him 100%, then he will have his first real friend in this horrible and scary netherworld apartment!

After thinking about it, Han Fei finally made up his mind, and he was ready to seize this rare opportunity.

Taking a deep breath, Han Fei said with that death-defying expression toward the old lady, "Grandma, I have a way to perhaps save Chenchen."

"What way?" The old woman was a little anxious.

"I'll be the bait, lure the 'Weep' upstairs, you take this opportunity to enter the opposite direction to check, if Chenchen is in that house, hurry up and bring him out."

"No way! You are fighting for your life! Absolutely not!" The old woman refused very sternly.

"It's not a good idea for us to keep spending time here." Han Fei said his honest thoughts, "How about this, we wait for three hours, if after three hours, ''Weep'' is still guarding the door, then do as I said, I will distract him, and you go to the house to find Chen Chen. If 'Weep' leaves after three hours, then I'll go upstairs and ask the other neighbors to come along and help."

"But, whether you go to distract 'Weep' or ask for help from other neighbors, it's very dangerous and you can lose your life if you're not careful, aren't you afraid?" Granny was worried about Han Fei.

"Afraid, I am very afraid, but now there is no better way." Han Fei's face was firm, moving his somewhat cold fingers, " Perhaps people are really brave when they are afraid."

Seeing Han Fei willing to do so even though he was clearly scared to death, the old woman was really touched.

At the same time, that icy voice in Han Fei's mind suddenly rang out: "Player No. 0000, please pay attention! Meng Shi friendship plus ten, a harmonious neighborly relationship is the first step to a perfect life."

"Player No. 0000, please pay attention! The G - Grade secret mission to find Chen chen has been triggered! Will you accept the mission?"
