Every time he exited the game, Han Fei would feel from the bottom of his heart that it was great to be alive.He didn't rest for too long, turned on the lamp by the bed, and turned his head to look at the wall covered with photos of crime scenes."Why did the seven victims of the Human Body Puzzle Case appear in that state? Were all seven of them trapped in that room?"Generally speaking, any house where an unnatural death has occurred can be called a Haunted House, and the room where Han Fei lived seemed to have a total of seven victims, making it the Haunted House among Haunted Houses."Now that Wei Youfu and A Mei have become a little more lucid, what I need to do next is to help the other victims regain their sanity."Han Fei knew clearly in his heart that the greatest dying wish of those victims was to catch the Murderer, but the problem was that he was just an 18th-tier Comedian, lacking the ability to do what he wanted to do. Even if he really encountered the Murderer, it was uncertain who would catch whom."Take it slow; it's better to be safe, after all, you only have one life."Han Fei took out his phone and started recording: "The old building I live in within the game is very dangerous. The known information now is that there are four rooms on each floor. I live on the Fourth Floor. Judging by the reaction of the Sixth Floor Neighbor just now, the residents in this building should know that I live in a Haunted House, and they don't dare to come in casually.""Thinking from this perspective, the monster in my room should be considered quite dangerous; at least many residents are afraid of it.""Looking at it from another direction, the most dangerous place is the safest place. As long as I don't court death, that Haunted House can actually protect me from being killed by other Neighbors.""Another point to note is the Child on the Third Floor. The Haunted House is so terrifying, yet there is no Talisman Paper pasted on the door. That room on the Third Floor is definitely a big problem. The Child sealed in the room might be as dangerous as the monster formed by the seven victims."Thinking of this, Han Fei got a headache: "Who exactly tore off the Talisman Paper on that door on the Third Floor? I exited the game on the Third Floor this time. According to previous experience, I will still appear on the Third Floor the next time I log in. If that Child is camping my body, wouldn't I be done for?"The situation was too critical at the time, and Han Fei had reacted very quickly; if he had been one step slower, he estimated that the Child would have crawled directly onto him."The key is that his movement speed is so fast that I can't even run away."Han Fei was now worried about being dragged into the room on the Third Floor by the Child: "If there is a chance in the future, I'll see if I can lure him into the Haunted House on the Fourth Floor."At 4:00 AM, Han Fei had his computer on and phone in hand, comparing the crime scene photos on the wall and seriously sketching out clues and character relationships.Sunlight shone on his face. Han Fei didn't know when he had fallen asleep. He woke up groggily, looked at the clock on the wall, and immediately jumped out of bed."I slept until nine o'clock all at once. Director Jiang must be getting anxious waiting."After a simple wash, Han Fei hurried out of the house and rushed to the North Street of the Old City District.He rushed as fast as he could, but he was still a bit late; the film crew had already started working."Sorry, I'm late."Han Fei apologized quickly, but the Staff Member of the film crew didn't seem to mind: "The first scene is between the villain and the first victim. The male Actor playing the villain hasn't arrived yet, so don't worry."The crew member who had been frightened by Han Fei's acting last time walked over and handed Han Fei a cup of coffee with great familiarity: "Wait slowly; that big villain being late isn't just once or twice."Han Fei felt there was more to the other person's words: "May I ask, who is playing the villain in our show?"He was playing the second victim, and the other person was playing the Murderer. They had scenes together, so knowing a little about the other person would also make it easier for him to perform."You should have heard of him; his name is Zhan Lele. He has participated in many variety shows before, but he doesn't have any solid works of his own. He can barely be considered a fifth-tier artist. This time, their company wants to use our show to prove Zhan Lele's acting skills." The crew member started chatting with Han Fei."Has he never acted before?" Han Fei put down the coffee in his hand: "The villain is very critical to a show.""In my opinion, Zhan Lele himself brings topics. His first challenge to a villain role is also a good promotional point. Besides, he is a graduate of the Film Academy and has a certain foundation." As the crew member was speaking, things suddenly got chaotic outside the apartment, and then footsteps were heard."I was rushing to film a variety show overnight last night, and my body can't take it." A Young Man in his early twenties entered the set accompanied by a male Agent. A strong smell of perfume and the covered-up smell of alcohol could be smelled on him."Go put on makeup." Director Jiang didn't even lift his head, seemingly too lazy to say anything more.After all the Staff Members were in place, Zhan Lele, having finished his makeup, arrived late."You have very few lines. The first scene is in the corridor. The Murderer you are playing secretly targets A Mei, and then you follow her into the corridor. I need you to create that feeling of being like a shadow.""Understood, I get it." Zhan Lele nodded very confidently.The actress playing A Mei was not very old and had little experience, and Zhan Lele's tailing didn't give people a sense of oppression; it was as if the one following behind wasn't a perverted Murderer, but a drunk pervert.Such acting made even Han Fei unable to watch, let alone the strict Director Jiang.Just the first scene in the corridor was filmed over and over again for more than a dozen times. Zhan Lele went up and down the stairs, and he was exhausted, eventually sitting on the stairs and not moving."Director, I have my own style. I want to shape this image according to my own ideas.""The image you shaped is just such a little hooligan?" Director Jiang was a little dissatisfied: "You do have some acting skills, but since you want to challenge a villain role, then integrate yourself into your character. You are a Murderer who has killed seven people in a row; your heart hides a hell!""But this is just a scene of going upstairs. The hell in my heart has actually been suppressed all along; I am waiting for the final breaking point!" Zhan Lele was also very straightforward."Explode one for me to see right now?"After Director Jiang finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhan Lele. This Young Man Actor gathered his strength for a long time, and then suddenly waved the prop knife crazily and roared hysterically."Stop! Stop! Stop!"Director Jiang covered his face: "You can ask anyone on site; did the perverted Murderer you played scare them? Did it bring them a sense of oppression?"As he said this, Director Jiang grabbed the crew member and asked in front of Zhan Lele: "Are you scared by his performance just now?""Not scared.""How about you?""A bit like laughing."He asked a few people casually; the first two were calm as still water, without any ripples, and the last one was amused to laughter."Every glance and look is acting. The Actor who auditioned yesterday playing the victim could scare the crew member, yet you played the Murderer like a drunk hooligan. Did you read the script at all?"Zhan Lele didn't seem to have read the script much, but he was still stubborn: "I really don't believe anyone playing a victim could scare the Staff Member."The two of them were arguing, and somehow it dragged onto Han Fei. Director Jiang directly asked Han Fei to come over: "You've read our script, right?""Yes, I have.""You come and play the Murderer.""Me?" Han Fei was actually always pondering the mindset of the Murderer, but he wasn't honing his acting skills; he really wanted to solve the case: "That's not good, right? I'm a Comedian.""Don't be humble. Come on, set an example for him." Director Jiang seemed to have great confidence in Han Fei.Han Fei didn't want to stand out, but now he had no choice.Lowering his head, the face of the Sixth Floor Neighbor from the very beginning emerged in his Brain Sea, holding a sharp knife, sticking his head out from the stairs, standing in the dark, watching a living thing walk towards him.His face carried a craving for blood and flesh, containing an unhideable desire for destruction. He was obviously trying his best to suppress the impulse in his heart; he couldn't wait to stab the sharp knife in his hand into the other person's body.Suppressed gasps, chilling eyes, the person who had been following all along finally entered the pitch-black corridor. Now no one would come to stop him.Slowly raising his head, Han Fei stared at Zhan Lele's neck, and his dry lips gradually revealed a smile.
