In the dimly lit small room, Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
"Where is this?"
"Did I come back?"
Su Chen abruptly sat up, his eyes filled with indescribable shock.
This room was too familiar to Su Chen.
The room wasn't large, just over twenty square meters, but it was extremely run-down, resembling a dangerous building from forty or fifty years ago.
Exposed steel bars from peeling wall plaster were startling to see, and a faint smell of dampness permeated the air.
"The early stages of the Horror Game."
Su Chen muttered to himself.
He could never forget that when the Horror Game entered its later stages, eerie phenomena worldwide began to revive, and nightmares descended.
The world was divided into countless horror zones, with billions of people struggling to survive within them.
Yet all of this was in vain.
Humans could never comprehend the power of ghosts.
Even when Su Chen and the top hundred strongest individuals globally teamed up to resist, it was like moths flying into flames.
The world ultimately became a forbidden zone for the living, a despairing inferno, with no survivors.
Currently, it was the early stages of the Horror Game, with a supernatural force sweeping across the globe, randomly selecting lucky players to enter the world of horror.
These lucky players had become missing persons to the rest of the world.
Due to the relatively small number of missing persons in the early stages, the world didn't take it seriously.
But as time passed, it was already too late when the world finally realized what was happening.
Su Chen was one of the first lucky players targeted by the world of horror.
"Open personal profile," Su Chen muttered in his heart.
[Player: Su Chen]
[Level: 1]
[Experience: 0]
[Strength: 6]
[Agility: 7]
[Endurance: 6]
[Newbie Protection Period: Immune to all damage for three hours]
Looking at his simplistic personal profile, Su Chen smiled.
In the early stages, the Horror Game arrived in the world as a game, selecting lucky players.
In his previous life, after being selected by the Horror Game, Su Chen wasted his three-hour newbie protection period due to fear.
This time, Su Chen had returned from rebirth, having already uncovered most of the secrets of the Horror World, and he would never let the despair of the past descend again.
"That means I'm currently in Xin'an Community."
After a brief moment of thought, Su Chen quickly walked to the refrigerator.
Although the room wasn't large, it had everything one could need.
Opening the refrigerator, a pungent odor hit him.
In his previous life, Su Chen had smelled even more terrifying odors, so these weren't much to him.
Pushing aside the rotten meat in the refrigerator, Su Chen found a half-bottle of old liquor at the back.
Xin'an Community had many secrets.
In his previous life, Su Chen hadn't fully explored them, leaving many regrets.
This time, Su Chen didn't want to leave any regrets.
[Name: Half-bottle of Old Liquor]
[Quality: E]
[Type: Consumable]
[Special Effect: After consumption, one attribute randomly increases by one point]
"It's still here." There were two reasons for taking the half-bottle of old liquor.
The first reason was to see if there were any unknown changes after he returned to the early stages of the Horror World, following his rebirth.
Obviously, there were no changes.
The second reason was that this half-bottle of old liquor was related to a very important item.
Su Chen hadn't obtained this item in his previous life, and this time he wasn't going to give up.
After putting the half-bottle of old liquor in his backpack, Su Chen didn't hesitate and quickly left the room.
Pushing open the door, he was greeted by a broken wall.
The wall exposed steel bars sticking with blood.
The hallway lights flickered, casting a dim glow.
"Newbie Quest Triggered: Visit the Neighbor."
Su Chen's eyes narrowed as he looked at the door next to him.
The door was covered in severe rust, giving off an old and worn appearance.
"Not yet."
Su Chen shook his head and quickly walked towards the elevator.
If he visited his neighbor now, it would just be a simple visit without any benefits.
He needed to use his newbie protection period to obtain a crucial item before visiting his neighbor.
The elevator was old and operated slowly.
Su Chen was heading to the rooftop.
The building had seven floors, and Su Chen lived on the third floor, room 302.
"Just like in my previous life, this elevator moves as slow as a snail," Su Chen muttered, his face showing displeasure…
The elevator was on the first floor and took three or four minutes to reach the second floor.
At this speed, he could have run up to the rooftop in one breath.
But he didn't take the stairs.
Because there were ghosts on the stairs.
Although he had a three-hour newbie protection period, the time consumed by taking the stairs would far exceed that of this slow elevator.
However, what Su Chen lacked most right now was time.
After waiting for a full ten minutes, the elevator finally reached the third floor.
A loud metal grinding sound emerged, and the elevator door opened slowly, like an old man at the twilight of his life.
Without hesitation, Su Chen entered the elevator and pressed the button for the seventh floor.
The door closed slowly, and the elevator ascended slowly.
Su Chen's gaze remained fixed on the floor number as the elevator rose.
Even when the elevator started shaking violently and the lights flickered, Su Chen didn't react at all.
Then, a drop of blood landed on Su Chen's shoulder.
This elevator had a ghost.
Su Chen had known that all along.
But he wasn't afraid. In his previous life, he had seen even greater horrors, so he wasn't afraid of the fierce ghost in the elevator.
"Brother, which floor are you going to?"
A sweet voice came from his ear.
"Me? I'm going to the rooftop to find your head for you," Su Chen scratched his ear and said.
The voice temporarily disappeared, but blood had already covered the top of the elevator and was dripping down.
Su Chen was well-acquainted with the elevator ghost.
She was pushed down the elevator shaft by the person she trusted most in her life.
After her death, she had been searching for her body.
In his previous life, Su Chen also helped the elevator ghost find her body.
But her head, Su Chen had never found.
He later learned that her head had been eaten by other ghosts.
This happened just within the first three days after he entered the Horror World.
"Special Quest Triggered: Help the Elevator Ghost Find Her Head. Accept or Decline?"
Su Chen accepted without hesitation.
The reason he chose to enter the elevator, besides the urgency of time, was to trigger this rare quest.
In his previous life, the headless elevator ghost was as powerful as a red-dressed ghost and was the strongest ghost in Building 3.
If he found her head, Su Chen had no doubt that she might become one of the strongest ghosts in Xin'an Community.
Betrayed and killed by the person she trusted most, this resentment was beyond imagination.
After accepting the quest, the elevator became normal, and even its speed increased significantly.
But Su Chen knew that if he didn't help her find her head, his own head would become hers.
