"The sleeping task requires starting within five minutes, and the bathing task requires that I have enough time to complete both tasks before four o'clock in the morning."
Han Fei had already made a plan in his heart: "Complete the sleeping task first. According to the task requirements, while the sleeping task is completed, I can also meet the three-hour restriction. I can log off at any time."
"I have to go to the bathroom for bathing tasks. It is difficult to escape when encountering supernatural events in a narrow space. However, I can log off at any time. If I really encounter something that exceeds my tolerance limit, I can just quit."
He didn't accept the task without thinking, but considered it comprehensively.
The protection period for novices has expired, and we don’t know what will happen outside. Instead of taking risks to take on new tasks, it is better to complete the novice tasks in this haunted house.
After all, in order to survive in this room, he had memorized nearly a hundred pages of case information.
Time passed little by little, and Han Fei became busy in the room. He turned off all the lights, found the kitchen knife and hid it under the pillow, and then removed the mop rod.
Frankly speaking, the kitchen knife is more of a psychological comfort to Han Fei. Even if he meets a neighbor who comes to visit, he will not use the kitchen knife. Only when the neighbor is passing by and does not want to come in, he will take out a stick to provoke, or be more polite.
Say an invitation.
In order to prevent the security door from being stolen, Han Fei deliberately left the door open and left a small crack.
"If the ghost in the haunted house goes crazy, I will run out. If there is a special neighbor coming in outside and I can't fight it, I will run to the deepest bedroom of the haunted house."
You can advance to attack, retreat or defend. After Han Fei was ready, he went to the bedroom near the living room, where he did his sleeping mission last time.
"The reason I failed last time was because I was too panicked. I was only a little bit close to succeeding, but I was too timid. This time I had to hold on for three hours no matter what. Only by completing the sleeping task would I have enough time for the subsequent bathing task.
operational space.”
Han Fei stared at the electronic clock on the wall, constantly giving himself psychological hints.
At 0:05, he lay down on the bed in the bedroom, covering himself completely with the quilt, leaving only a crack, and secretly observed the outside.
"The ghost in the bathroom appeared at two forty-four during the last sleeping mission."
"Today I started the mission at 05:00. If the ghost still appears at 2:44 this time, then I only need to delay it for 21 minutes and the mission can be completed."
"It's a little difficult, but not impossible. Compared with last time, I now have an additional passive exclusive skill - hide and seek. As long as I hide well, my presence will be minimized."
The sleeping task has begun, and Han Fei is relatively confident: "Don't be too nervous about the time ahead. The key to this task is the last half hour, but you can't take it lightly. The task introduction says that every time the novice task fails, the difficulty will increase."
With a little improvement, I have to be prepared to deal with emergencies."
Hiding under the quilt, Han Fei held the kitchen knife handle with one hand and grasped the mop rod tightly with the other. His muscles were tense, like a wild leopard in hunting mode, with a serious expression and sharp eyes.
Who would have thought that just a few days ago, he would have locked himself in a rental house with messy hair and a look of despair, playing games day and night.
It was late at night, and the house became very quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the ticking, ticking sound of the electronic clock.
Han Fei silently counted the time in his mind, his eyes fixed on the bathroom door lock, and all his attention was focused on the bathroom.
But at 0:14, a crunching sound suddenly came from the quiet room.
"The bathroom door lock didn't move, it was the sound coming from other places!"
In the dead silent room, any sound was amplified. Han Fei carefully judged the source of the sound. He moved his eyes away from the bathroom and moved little by little.
"That sounds like the sound of opening the door? The door shaft in this haunted house is severely rusted... only the bedroom at the end of the house!"
Han Fei's slowly moving eyes stopped at the bedroom door. He saw half a child's face outside his door.
The child's facial features were blurred, and he slowly put his head into the bedroom.
Han Fei held his breath and did not dare to move.
The child looked inside the house for a long time, then dragged his mutilated body past the door of Han Fei's bedroom.
"It's only 14:00 now. Isn't that too early?"
Han Fei's bedroom could only see the living room and bathroom, but could not see the bedroom located at the deepest part of the haunted house. He only realized that something was coming out of the room when he heard the sound of the door hinge.
"The bedroom in the deepest part of the haunted house is the most dangerous. The sleeping mission has changed. The ghost appeared early. But there is good news. The ghost doesn't seem to be interested in me."
The child walked around the living room and finally sat on the sofa. Han Fei could see the back of the child's head in the bedroom. He was now worried that the child's head would suddenly turn 180 degrees and face him.
The air in the room was filled with uneasiness. Han Fei was hiding under the quilt and now he didn't even dare to stretch out his fingers.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you persist for more than two hours, it will be fine."
The child sat on the sofa and remained motionless until 0:44, without any warning, a woman with long hair passed by the door of Han Fei's bedroom and came to the living room.
"again?"
The woman's figure was also a little blurry. She picked up the TV remote control and sat silently next to the child.
Looking at the two ghosts on the sofa with their backs to him, Han Fei's hair stood on end. If they didn't turn their heads, Han Fei would be scared. If they turned their heads, Han Fei would probably be even more scared.
Time seemed to slow down, and every moment was so difficult. Han Fei's posture had not changed since the two ghosts sat on the sofa in the living room. He did not even dare to breathe too hard.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...
The ticking of the electronic clock was gradually mixed with other sounds, as if there were drops of water dripping.
At one o'clock and four, the kitchen door was pushed open, and a woman with short hair was standing at the door with her head lowered and holding a fruit knife. She seemed to be looking for something.
At 1:14, the sound of high heels came from the deepest bedroom.
At two forty-four, the bathroom door lock began to vibrate slightly, and not long after, the door was opened a crack.
And right in the gap, there was an eye looking at the bedroom where Han Fei was.
Pale white arms stretched out from the bathroom, and the sticky black hair stuck to his cheeks. The man crawled out of the bathroom, and then disappeared from Han Fei's sight the next moment.
The temperature in the bedroom was slowly dropping. Han Fei gritted his teeth. He heard the sound of the sheets being rubbed against something, and there were faint strands of black hair hanging down between the gaps in the quilt. It was as if someone was squatting beside the bed, hanging down.
It was as if he was preparing to crawl into the quilt.
Han Fei covered his mouth and nose and stared at the gap in the quilt. It was already two forty-five in the morning, and three hours were about to pass.
The cold feeling penetrated his heart and lungs, and Han Fei's face turned purple. When he could hardly bear it anymore, someone turned on the TV in the living room.
A faint cold light entered the room, and the coolness in the bedroom gradually disappeared.
Han Fei let go of his hand. When he looked towards the living room again, there was another figure on the sofa.
