In the elevator, Su Chen sat on the floor, panting heavily.
The human skin had been consumed by Red Bell, leaving only a black trench coat behind.
The mission to find Red Bell's head was complete.
[Special Mission: Find Red Bell's Head][Completed]
[Reward: 100 Experience Points, Blood Eye]
The 100 experience points had boosted Su Chen's level by three, slightly enhancing his abilities. But the real prize was the second reward.
[Name: Blood Eye]
[Quality: Growing]
[Type: Organ]
[Special Effect: See spirits with a mortal body]
This was a reward Su Chen hadn't even obtained in his previous life.
Finding Red Bell's head had rewarded him with an organ—a ghost puzzle piece, essentially a ghost organ that possessed ghostly powers, the rarest item in the horror world.
Organs were all of growing quality and extremely difficult to obtain.
In his previous life, Su Chen had only possessed three.
With just three organs, Su Chen had ascended to the ranks of the world's strongest.
Imagine how powerful they were.
Red Bell's head was indeed the hardest to find.
It was inevitable; even with the new protection period, Su Chen had narrowly escaped death multiple times, illustrating its difficulty.
"See spirits with a mortal body," Su Chen pondered the Blood Eye.
There were indeed spirits in the horror world that couldn't be perceived by the naked eye.
With the Blood Eye, he could see them now.
Without hesitation, he activated it.
A red glow appeared in his pupils and quickly disappeared.
Su Chen could feel an unknown change in his eyes.
His vision had improved significantly, even gaining night vision.
As the Blood Eye grew, it would likely unlock even more powerful abilities.
At this moment, Hon Lling's head hung from the top of the elevator.
She looked at Su Chen quietly, with a bit less hatred and malice in her eyes.
After all, Su Chen had kept his word and helped her retrieve her head.
"I'll continue to search for the rest of your body parts," Su Chen said to Red Bell.
[Trigger Special Mission: Find the Rest of Red Bell's Body Parts. Accept?]
After accepting the mission, Su Chen could sense a bit of kindness and trust in Red Bell's gaze.
He then stood up and picked up the trench coat left by the human skin.
[Name: Human Skin Trench Coat]
[Quality: D]
[Type: Equipment]
[Special Effect 1: Blocks 20% of curse damage]
[Special Effect 2: Brief flight]
"Pretty good," Su Chen said as he put it on.
The most terrifying thing in the horror world was curses, invisible and deadly.
Sometimes, people didn't even know how they died until it was too late.
Blocking 20% of curse damage might save a life at critical moments.
The brief flight ability was also excellent, as Su Chen had already witnessed on the rooftop.
"Red Bell, give me your hairpin," Su Chen turned to her and said.
Red Bell was surprised; she didn't know how Su Chen knew she had another hairpin.
"It's related to your right hand," Su Chen added.
This time, Red Bell didn't hesitate.
Under the squirming blood, a delicate hairpin adorned with strawberries appeared in front of Su Chen.
This hairpin was an important item, not only related to Red Bell's right hand but also containing something Su Chen needed to obtain.
After putting the hairpin in his backpack, Su Chen pressed the button for the fourth floor.
He wasn't in a rush to find the rest of Red Bell's body parts; he had more important matters to attend to.
He still had two hours of newbie protection period left.
In that time, he had to create a bigger advantage for himself.
The fourth floor arrived, and with Red Bell watching, Su Chen stepped out of the elevator.
The hallway on the fourth floor was bright, with various graffiti on the walls.
His destination was room 401.
Knock, knock, knock.
Su Chen knocked on the door of room 401.
"Hello, I'm the new neighbor from the third floor. I'm here to visit you," he said in a low voice. "I brought you a gift."
The resident of room 401 was a little girl, one of the few neutral ghosts in Xin'an Residential Area.
She didn't kill people without a reason and spent most of her time in her room.
Su Chen knew a lot about her background.
Her parents had left her alone at home to go to work and never returned.
When others found her, she had starved to death in her house.
"Look at the gift I brought you," Su Chen said.
Although the door didn't open, Su Chen could feel something peeking at him through the peephole.
Indeed, the door slowly opened, revealing a darkness that even Su Chen's Blood Eye couldn't pierce.
It was like a solidified black fog, turning invisibility into tangibility.
A pale arm reached out from the darkness.
Based on the arm, the girl should be only six or seven years old.
She was timid and quickly pulled her arm back after receiving the hairpin from Su Chen.
Then the door slowly closed.
"I live on the third floor, room 302. You can come to me if you need anything," Su Chen said, still standing at the door.
He knew the girl would open the door again.
Although she was a ghost, she was polite and knew the importance of reciprocity.
He guessed she was now looking for a gift to give him in return.
As expected, the door opened again.
An arm reached out from the darkness, tightly clutching a stuffed doll.
"Is this for me?" Su Chen asked with surprise.
A soft "hmm" came from the darkness.
"Thank you," he said.
The door closed tightly, and Su Chen smiled at the stuffed doll in his hand.
This doll was called the Death Substitute Doll, able to attract hatred in place of its owner.
It was highly practical, but Su Chen had an even more important use for it.
This time, he chose not to take the elevator but walked into the staircase.
The staircase was covered with unknown black liquid, emitting a strong fishy odor.
There were also large patches of dried blood on the steps.
Su Chen's face remained expressionless as he stepped onto the stairs.
As mentioned before, there was a ghost in the staircase.
In his previous life, Su Chen had suffered greatly at its hands, almost dying.
But this time, he was prepared.
"Wow, you've also been chosen by the horror world," came a familiar voice from behind.
The voice caused Su Chen to sigh.
It was the voice of his good friend Zhang Wei, from before he was chosen by the horror world.
Su Chen hadn't seen Zhang Wei again, whether in the early, middle, or late stages of the horror world.
Zhang Wei might have quietly died in some corner.
So, hearing Zhang Wei's cheeky voice again made Su Chen feel particularly sentimental.
However, he didn't respond because the voice belonged to a Death Substitute Ghost.
If you turned back or answered, it could attach itself to you and replace you.
Su Chen silently raised the Death Substitute Doll, with its front facing his back.
An extremely cold chill made the doll move.
At this moment, the doll seemed to have come to life.
"Yeah, what a coincidence," Su Chen said, turned back with a bright smile.
The Death Substitute Ghost was no longer dangerous now.
The purpose of the Death Substitute Doll is to control the ghost.
It could draw hatred and change the ghost's attack target.
Now that the Death Substitute Ghost was attached to the doll, all its abilities were restricted.
As long as the doll remained intact, the ghost couldn't escape its body.
It might seem simple, but Su Chen had gone through a lot of trouble to obtain this doll.
