"Attention player No. 0000! You have successfully accepted the G-level main quest - One Hundred Ways to Die at the Crossroads!"
"One hundred ways to die at the crossroads: This task must be completed alone. Find the bowl placed next to the shrine at the entrance of the community, take a step, knock the bowl, and walk to the opposite side of the road alone to complete the task."
Looking at the mission introduction, Han Fei felt that it was not too difficult. The road outside the community was only seven or eight meters wide, and he could walk across it in twenty steps at most.
"The difficulty of the main mission is between hidden missions and ordinary missions, so don't be careless."
In fact, Han Fei is very resistant to leaving the community now. If possible, he would like to stay until level 20 before leaving. However, the system seems to have guessed his thoughts, and there are no tasks in the community at all.
"Let's go take a look first. If it's really dangerous, give up the mission."
Walking quietly to the gate of the community, Han Fei looked at the streets shrouded in darkness. The whole city was lifeless. Not to mention vehicles and pedestrians, there was not even a ghost on the road.
"The task requires me to complete it alone, which means I can't rely on my neighbors. I just don't know if the ghost marks on my body are considered 'neighbors' or special items?" Han Fei didn't want to trouble his neighbors, but he really didn't have the confidence to leave.
After walking back to the community alive.
To be on the safe side, Han Fei found Youfu. He had originally planned to ask Youfu to take Xiaoba to pick him up across the street.
As a result, Youfu told him that Xiaoba could not leave Xingfu Community casually. Once deceased No. 8 left the community, something would immediately be attracted. This was the advice of the previous building manager.
Youfu couldn't leave the community casually, so Han Fei had no choice but to find Xu Qin.
"Sister, I want to leave the community and go to the other side of the road. Can you help me keep an eye on it from a distance?"
"Do you know what's across the road?" Xu Qin did not agree immediately.
"Is it dangerous there?"
"Of course, there is no place in this city that is not dangerous." Xu Qin pondered for a moment and then said: "If you have to go, I won't stop you, but you should pay attention to a few things: first, don't stay in the open space.
Stay for more than ten minutes. Secondly, don’t talk to anyone. Thirdly, when you hear someone calling your name, run into the community. Fourthly and most importantly, if you are lost, don’t believe anything you see. Stay where you are.
Waiting for a long time, I will go find you."
"I remember."
"And..." Xu Qin took out the shortest table knife from the kitchen, then picked up the mat on the dining table and wrapped the knife: "Hide this knife in your pocket and don't touch it directly with your hands.
Take it out only when you are in danger."
"OK."
The tablecloth on the dining table was made of outsiders' skins. After wrapping the knife with their skin, the curse emitted by the knife had a much smaller impact on Han Fei.
After everything was ready, Han Fei and Xu Qin left Building 1 together and came to the gate of the community.
"Then I went there alone."
"Remember what I said, go ahead."
Pushing open the rusty iron gate of the community, Han Fei looked back and saw two dilapidated apartment buildings standing out in the dark night.
"After playing so many games, this is the first game that makes me so reluctant to leave Novice Village."
In order to go offline smoothly, Han Fei finally left the Xingfu Community.
Through the rusty iron door, Han Fei saw Xu Qin waving to him, her tongue gently licking her bright red lips, as if she was thinking about which way to cook Han Fei was better.
Rubbing his temples, Han Fei felt that Xu Qin would not do such a thing, but since he left the community, various malicious thoughts began to appear in his mind.
"Calm down and complete the task quickly. You can't stay here for too long."
Han Fei remembered what Xu Qin said. He was going to complete the task within five minutes and then quickly return to the community.
"The first step is to find the bowl placed next to the shrine..."
Looking around, Han Fei saw a shabby shrine next to the intersection not far from the iron gate of the community.
The shrine is covered with black cloth, and it's unclear what lives inside.
Han Fei suppressed his curiosity and did not lift the black cloth to check. He just picked up a ceramic bowl placed in front of the shrine.
The bowl was full of cracks but not broken. The bowl was filled with white rice, and there seemed to be something written on each grain of rice.
"Take a step and knock the bowl. Will the bowl be broken?"
Han Fei carefully picked up the porcelain bowl. Before he took the first step, he suddenly heard an old man's voice.
"Put the bowl down, go back to where you came from."
Turning around, Han Fei saw an old man squatting on the curb at the entrance of Xingfu Community. He was holding a brazier with a thick stack of paper money in the pot.
"The crossroads are full of yin and everything is coming and going. If you hold a bowl here, starving ghosts will come to you in no time!"
Seeing that Han Fei didn't listen, the old man nagged again. He gave Han Fei the feeling that he cared about Han Fei.
"Don't believe it, people used to perform rituals next to the water mouth. This road is water, and the intersection is the water mouth, gathering yin and evil spirits. Listen to me, put down the bowl quickly, burn some paper money to the shrine, and give it to him
If you just accompany me, maybe nothing will happen."
After the old man finished speaking, he quietly took out a crumpled photo from his pocket and placed it in the brazier.
Han Fei would not give up the mission just because of the other person's words. He took the first step towards the road and knocked on the bowl.
Hearing the sound of bowl knocking, the old man was frightened and immediately walked towards Han Fei: "You are shouting for ghosts! Do you want to deliberately provoke them?"
Han Fei still didn't speak. In fact, he thought the old man was good at first, until the old man put the crumpled photo into the brazier.
Burning paper money at a crossroads is a sign of respect for the dead, but burning photos, especially photos of living people, at a crossroads is completely different.
When a passing ghost sees a photo of a living person being burned mixed with paper money, he will think that the person is going to die tonight and he can steal his body and be reincarnated.
In addition, during the manager's task, Han Fei also saw a brazier and photos. In this underworld, photos seem to be able to take away a bit of spirituality from people.
The photo that the old man took out was old, and the faces in the photo were blurry. Han Fei felt that the other person probably wanted to kill him. As long as he talked to the other person, his face would probably appear in the photo.
The old man reminded Han Fei to be careful of the starving ghost, as he himself might be a scapegoat.
Without saying a word, Han Fei kept moving forward with calm and cold eyes.
He took a second step and knocked the bowl again.
There was laughter from the other side of the road, and a little boy in red clothes held his sister's hand and walked towards her.
"Brother, brother, can you take my sister and I home?" The boy in a red coat blocked Han Fei's way.
Han Fei glanced at the other party coldly, muttering in his heart that he couldn't send them home, but he could send them off if he had the chance in the future.
Regardless of any interference from the outside world, Han Fei took another step forward.
When his legs were about to touch the boy's body, the boy got out of the way: "Brother, brother, my sister and I can't find our way home. Can you go home with us?"
Han Fei didn't even listen to what the boy was saying. He just noticed that when he walked forward, the boy took the initiative to avoid him.
Normally, when a ghost sees him, he will definitely attack like crazy, and it is impossible to avoid him on his own initiative.
"Is it because of the bowl in my hand?"
The more Han Fei thought about it, the more likely it seemed: "The bowl in front of the shrine seems to be able to protect me. In this case, I don't have to worry too much."
The top priority was to complete the task. Han Fei was so cautious before because he was worried about accidents. Now he was relieved and speeded up immediately.
Take a step and tap the bowl, very quickly.
"Brother, brother..."
"Don't go there! Young man! The starving devil is already here!"
No sound could disturb Han Fei. He walked forward step by step, but when he had walked a dozen steps, he suddenly stopped.
"Why isn't it over yet?"
Looking ahead, there was an obvious pool of blood on the wall on the other side of the road. The distance between Han Fei and the other side of the road did not close. Instead, the pool of blood gradually became heavier, and the outline of a person could be vaguely seen.
"Young man, come back quickly! This intersection is very dangerous, and there are frequent car accidents. A few days ago, two children were hit by a van, and the car ended up parked on the opposite side of the road."
"Brother, brother, come home with us!"
"A stranger walks at night, and you can't come back if you go there!"
The sounds in his ears were getting louder and louder. Han Fei resisted the urge to take a knife and took a few steps forward.
He still couldn't go to the other side of the road, and the voices of the old man and the child in his ears gradually weakened.
"Have those ghosts finally left?" He slowly turned his head and glanced behind him with his peripheral vision. Han Fei's expression changed.
The happy community behind him disappeared, and behind him was a completely unfamiliar road.
"Can not go back?"
Han Fei looked around carefully. The blood stains on the wall across the road were getting thicker and thicker, and it seemed that the people in the wall were about to come out.
"Staying in the open space for more than ten minutes may attract some unknown terrifying monster. But if I walk around casually, I will probably get further and further away from Xu Qin. My five senses should have been blinded by something now.
"
Silently raising his finger, Han Fei felt the landlord's ring, but there was no coolness coming from the ring.
"From the time the old man appeared, then the child appeared, and now the way back has disappeared, the ring has never responded. It seems that the old man and the child are both traps."
After thinking about a lot of things, Han Fei started to look through his inventory, but he didn't find anything that would help break the situation.
"Xu Qin said that if you get lost, don't believe anything you see. The most important thing for me now is not to lose control of my position. I have to hold on until Xu Qin comes over." With the decision, Han Fei was not so panicked anymore.
He took out a cigarette belonging to the landlord from the inventory: "There's no point in panicking. Let's light a cigarette and calm down."
