Chapter 35 - The inheritance of the landlord

"Contact lens model, foot model, hand model, lip model ... this perverted murderer has taken the most beautiful parts of the victim's body, and then used them to puzzle out the eighth corpse, is this what that murderer called the transformation of the pupa into a butterfly?"

There is an eighth victim in the human jigsaw puzzle case, with the exception that that victim's face and critical body parts were of other victims, and the police have extracted and tested various things, only to find that there is no information about the eighth victim in the citizen database.

It is puzzling and disturbing that they were killed without a name, without a past, without leaving a single trace on this highly technologically advanced internet world.

"Information on the other seven victims can be found online, but only information on the eighth victim cannot be found, and the police have not released any information related to the eighth victim ..." What is more unfathomable to Han Fei is that when he was doing the task with watching TV, there appeared behind him a monster, that monster's body contains only the faces of the seven victims.

"Could the eighth victim be the monster itself?"

Han Fei wanted to find out the truth, he lived in the middle of the murder house and in the company of the victims, and could clearly feel the pain and despair of the victims.

Whether it was to avenge the dead or to survive better in the game himself, he had to do his best to catch the killer.

Now the situation in the murder house is very strange, as the only living person, Han Fei shrinks in the bedroom quilt, outside the living room several figures with their backs to him are watching the TV without any images as if all the "people" are waiting for something to appear.

The cold light from the TV shone on the white faces, and as the hands moved, the temperature of the room slowly dropped.

"What are they waiting for?"

The night had reached its thickest, and the entire apartment building along with the world outside seemed to start becoming more abnormal.

The sound of nails scratching on the walls, the sound-controlled lights in the hallway suddenly coming on, the wooden panels of the windows slowly cracking as if bugs were crawling outside the shabby apartment building.

Yet no matter what changes were happening outside, the figures kept their backs to Han Fei until three in the morning.

The image on the TV gradually became clear, and in the darkened living room, five tragically killed people were sitting on the couch, and they were sitting facing the TV as if they were trying to find something through the TV.

What were they looking for?

Han Fei peeked out from the cracks of the quilt, the pattern in that TV is becoming clearer and clearer, the five figures are the five dead people in the human jigsaw puzzle, and the TV is their appearance when they died a horrible death.

The body of each one of them is disfigured, their faces without a trace of blood, the tragic whitened pupils throbbing in the eyes.

"What the hell are they looking for?" Han Fei's heart rose with extreme unease, and his gaze looked at the TV.

After careful observation, he saw the half-open door of the bedroom in the corner of the screen image and also saw his own eyes faintly and vaguely revealed in the slit of the quilt.

"I am also on the TV?"

The ghost in the middle of the TV screen showed the appearance of a tragic death, at this time the picture played seems to be the real appearance of this murderous house.

Watching the face of a tragic death, staring at that one creepy eye, Han Fei did not even dare to look away.

"They're not looking for me, are they?"

Han Fei is just seeing himself on the TV, the child sitting at the end of the sofa stood up, and he walked slowly towards the TV as if he had noticed something unusual.

"Am I destined to be killed by a child?"

It was now three o'clock in the morning, and in five minutes Han Fei's mission would be complete, and he would say anything to last through this time.

To prevent being discovered, he was not even going to look out anymore, his whole body shrunk into a quilt, waiting for the system's notification.

"No matter what, you have to last five minutes, come on! Even if all of you are standing outside now, even if you want to get me killed, I'm going to hold off long enough for five minutes!"

The temperature of the murder house kept dropping, Han Fei's heart was thumping, he didn't know if the ghosts had come in, he was even prepared to have ghosts standing around the bed.

He felt like every second was being elongated endlessly.

Opening the attribute panel, Han Fei focused on the exit button in the corner of the panel, but at that moment, he heard the sound of the door opening again, and this time the other party seemed to have entered his room directly.

"When I leave alive, I will help you find the murderer! Living under the same roof, I will come to chat with you at night to relieve your boredom, and I will go to burn some paper money for you during the day, so give it a chance, family members."

Han Fei was already so nervous that he started babbling, after all, he had no similar experience before.

" Player number 0000 please pay attention! The newbie mission - Sleep has been completed! Free skill points plus one, get the mission reward - landlord's key."

" Player number 0000, please note! Because the difficulty of the newbie mission has been slightly increased, therefore additional mission reward - three cigarettes of the landlord."

"Landlord's key (G-grade scarlet item): After the landlord's death, the spare key in the building disappeared, and it is unknown whether it was stolen by someone or borrowed by a ghost."

"The landlord's three cigarettes (G-grade Scarlet Item): after the landlord died, his three children honored three cigarettes in front of his spiritual altar."

Hearing the voice in his head, Han Fei let out a long sigh of relief, and when he noticed that the exit button had lit up, he instantly felt like he could do it again.

"Life has really big ups and downs, my nerves are probably as thick as steel now, there are no more frustrations in reality that can knock me down."

Han Fei subconsciously looked at the item bar, all mission rewards would be stored in the item bar as a priority.

"The rewards of the newbie missions all have the word landlord in them, they all seem to be the inheritance of the landlord, is this game preparing me to become the new landlord?"

"It seems that my insistence on completing all the Newbie missions is still meaningful, just that key set of landlords may come in handy in the future, the system's hint at the beginning was indeed correct, completing all the Newbie missions can help me understand this world more clearly."

Han Fei was glad that he didn't give up on the newbie quests, and the generous reward for sleeping quests also made him determined to complete the bath mission.

"The three newbie missions should correspond to three different rewards about the landlord, the ring can sense ghosts, and the key can be used to open the doors of other rooms, I wonder what the reward for the bath mission will be?"

Humans are all greedy, and when Han Fei was sure he could quit the game at any time, he decided to gamble on another big one: "The shower mission can be done before 4 a.m. I'll try to get all the newbie mission rewards!"

Slowly lifting the corner of the quilt, Han Fei saw Wei Youfu standing in the bedroom doorway, he used his body to block the view of the other ghosts.

"When did he appear?" After recalling the time of Wei Youfu's death, Han Fei wasn't too surprised.

He looked at Wei Youfu's back and suddenly felt that Youfu was not quite the same as the other ghosts in the house.

Those ghosts all had mutilated bodies, while Wei Youfu's body was intact, at least on the surface.

"Youfu seems to have no malice towards me from the beginning, this is not quite the same with other ghosts, will he still have some of his memories and humanity?"
