Chapter 106: Chapter 106: The Underworld Version I Haven’t Played

Staring blankly at the girl’s bleeding stump, Huang Ying felt as if the air had solidified.

This girl hadn’t lost a glove, a handkerchief, or tissue paper, but a hand!

The blood almost splattered onto his face. Huang Ying was a doctor, and he knew that only a freshly severed hand would bleed like this.

His calves went weak; the scene before him differed from what he had imagined. He thought the girl was asking him to search for a lost pet, only to find out she was asking for her amputated hands.

He had never encountered such a task before!

The psychological gap was too great. Huang Ying opened his mouth several times, not knowing how to respond, and then he fled back to his room as if escaping.

"Helping a neighbor find her hand? This task in the hidden map is a bit outrageous."

After readjusting his mindset, Huang Ying ran into the bathroom: "I entered the hidden map through the toilet door, so I should probably get back through the same door."

He stood in the gloomy living room, shaking the bathroom door back and forth, eyes fixed on the door panel. Unfortunately, no miracle happened.

"How, how can I not get back?"

The musty and bloody smell inside the room grew heavier, and Huang Ying discovered that many bloodstains had appeared on his body at some unknown time. Those things looked very strange.

"What on earth is this? It seems like it’s falling from the ceiling?"

He couldn’t remove the bloodstains on his body, which stuck uncomfortably and emitted a strange smell, so Huang Ying simply took off his outer clothes and turned on the shower.

The cold water cascading over his body, the underwear clinging to his skin, created an oppressive sensation that was uncomfortable.

"This game really replicates every detail."

After showering in the cold water for half a minute, Huang Ying found that not only did the bloodstains not lessen, they had grown more numerous.

"You can’t be serious?" He opened his shampoo, lathered it on his head and body, trying to wash away the bloodstains, yet just as he formed the foam, there suddenly came a knocking from outside.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Why does someone have to come over at this time?"

Each successive knock seemed to hammer directly onto Huang Ying’s heart. He didn’t attend to it, but the knocking from outside grew louder and louder.

His mind was in turmoil, his hands hastening their movements. Just as he was about to rinse off all the foam, the knocking outside suddenly stopped.

"Did that person leave?"

With a head full of foam, Huang Ying barely managed to open his eyes, but it was this glance that sent a chill down his spine, making his heart feel like it had stopped beating momentarily!

He saw a woman covered in blood, her body bruised, tiptoeing in the living room!

"Damn it!"

The foam slid down his forehead into his eyes, causing a stinging sensation, and Huang Ying instinctively closed his eyes. He heard hurried footsteps—the woman seemed to be running towards him!

Frantically waving his hands, Huang Ying quickly rinsed off the foam from his face. But when he opened his eyes again, the woman was gone.

"How, how did she get in?"

Huang Ying didn’t dare to close his eyes again, standing under the flow of water, struggling against his fear.

Everything in the living room was normal, as if the woman was just an illusion of Huang Ying’s.

His heart thumped loudly in his chest, Huang Ying’s gaze stayed fixated on the living room. He reached out to turn off the shower, but as he looked at his own palm, he froze.

His palm was covered with fallen hair, each strand about twenty centimeters long, clearly not his own.

"That woman... could she have been crawling over my head?"

Huang Ying didn’t dare to even lift his head, let alone move!

The shower water mixed with suds slid down his cheeks. Huang Ying waited a long time, and besides the sound of the water flowing, there was no abnormality in the room.

He mustered his courage, slowly straightened up, and then glanced at the bathroom mirror.

The mirror was very clean, reflecting nothing at all; there was neither the imagined ghost and monster nor Huang Ying himself.

"I’m afraid I’m not blessed to enjoy this hidden map, I’m just a casual player..." Just as he was about to open the attribute panel and exit the game, Huang Ying suddenly felt a dampness on his neck and a very bad thought crossed his mind.

Turning around bit by bit, Huang Ying saw dripping wet hair stretching towards his neck.

A woman with a body bruised purple like a spider clung to the bathroom ceiling, her head turned 180 degrees, forming an angle no living person could manage!

"HOLY SH*T!!!"

Huang Ying emitted a piercing scream. His body fell to the ground, and he scrambled out of the bathroom with all his might.

Back in the living room, the odor-filled living room had undergone a change as well!

Strands of blood-soaked black hair hung down from the gaps in the ceiling. A strange laugh could also be heard throughout the room.

His brain numb from terror, Huang Ying used his last ounce of strength to run towards the living room door, bursting out of this eerie room.

"Help! Somebody, help!"

The laughter behind him grew closer, and as he emitted heart-wrenching cries for help, he stumbled down the stairs, running faster than he ever had in his life!

Footsteps echoed in the stairwell. Frightened to death, Huang Ying ran down two floors and found that the door to room 2021 was unlocked.

To seek refuge, he didn’t think twice before hiding inside.

"Exit game! Exit the game!"

He opened the attribute panel, but soon Huang Ying realized something even more despairing!

The panel showed he was in an abnormal state and couldn’t exit the game temporarily.

Looking at the words on the attribute panel, Huang Ying’s face twitched, and he almost fainted on the spot.

Hearing the eerie footsteps in the stairwell, Huang Ying hurried into the toilet of this room, knowing that it was when he pushed open the toilet door that he entered the "hidden map". Now, the toilet door was his only hope.

Opening and closing the bathroom door over and over, Huang Ying was on the verge of crying.

"Why can’t I go back? Why?"

As he repeatedly opened and closed the door, the living room’s security door was slowly pushed open a crack, and a face smeared with blood peeked inside.

Huang Ying locked eyes with that face for a moment, his heart nearly leaping out of his throat. He hurriedly hid in the bathroom.

After locking the door, Huang Ying was nearly at his limit.

Having suffered consecutive scares, his mind dizzy, he tried to sit on the toilet to rest for a bit. But just as he was halfway down, he felt a pair of hands supporting his bottom and a deep hoarse voice, heavy with disgust, rang in his ear.

"It’s occupied."

In the pitch-black bathroom, a strange voice suddenly emerged. Huang Ying’s heart skipped a beat. He apologised frantically and then ran out of the bathroom, shouting in panic.

...

Han Fei stood at the entrance to Apartment Building Number One. Listening to the continuous cries coming from the opposite building, a wry smile appeared on his face: "I wasn’t this scared my first time here, was I? But making noise is good; at least it proves Brother Huang Ying is still alive."

With Xu Qin’s help, Han Fei opened the door to Apartment Building Number One in Happiness Residential Community and looked out into the world shrouded in darkness.
