Hearing the praise, Han Fei is a little embarrassed. He can’t tell Director Jiang that he experiences it himself.

“You should try more thrillers in the future.”

“I want to be a comedian. I enjoy seeing people smile.”

“You can be famous with horror movies, and then you can do comedy.” Director Jiang is pleased with Han Fei. “You pass the audition. Take a good rest tonight and officially join us tomorrow.”

Han Fei doesn't know if he could survive tonight, according to the rules of that game, he has to log in to the game every day.

After saying goodbye to the staff, Han Fei is about to leave. And then his phone vibrates again, it is Li Xue.

“Do you find any information?”

“No.21 North Street in the old city. I’m waiting for you here. I have found Meng Shi.”

“Okay, I’ll be there soon.”

This apartment is at No.15 North Street, which is not too far from No.21. Han Fei runs over directly according to the phone navigation.

Passing through the old buildings, Han Fei finally stops at the door of a courtyard that is some years old.

“Over here!” Li Xue is in the courtyard, standing beside a motorcycle.

“Does Meng Shi live here?”

“There are twelve people named Meng Shi in the city, I screened them all and found no one matched your description. I don't think you are lying, so I expand my screening and finally find Meng Shi.”

“And then?”

“Follow me.” Li Xue leads Han Fei into the No.4 building and comes to the third floor.

There is a brazier in front of the door on the far right of the third floor, with half-burned paper money inside, and looking inside the room, there is a gray photo on the dark offering table.

“You told me you met Meng Shi last night. But in fact, the Meng Shi that matches your description die ten years ago.”

“Passed away?” Han Fei freezes in place.

The shopkeeper passed away a few days ago; Meng Shi passed away ten years old. It seems that except himself, everyone related to that game is dead.

“No, there is another person!” Han Fei looks at Li Xue.

“Coco is Meng Shi’s grandson. He died ten years ago, too.” Li Xue seems to know what Han Fei wants to ask.

“Are they all dead?” Han Fei doesn’t expect that the NPCs in the game are the people who died in reality.

Is it a game of Netherworld?

“Just leave. I don’t want to be disturbed anymore.” Out of the slightly crowded room comes a middle-aged man with gray hair.

“We don't mean to disturb you, but there are many doubts in this case. Nowadays, technology is more advanced than before, and many unsolved cases have made breakthroughs, you should also want to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible, right?” Li Xue is very gentle in front of the victim's family.

“It is ten years. The murderer has still not been caught. My health is getting worse and worse. I don’t know if I can see the murderer caught someday.” The middle-aged man walks into the kitchen and places a bowl of dumplings on the offering table.

“Did Grandma Meng make dumplings every New Year's Day?" Han Fei looks at the photo on the table, and unconsciously walks into the house: “I remember she said that dumplings have the meaning of reunion fortune, eating dumplings can get rid of a year of bad luck.”

The man looks at Han Fei with incredulity. “How do you know that? Have you seen my mother? You should have been a teenager ten years ago.”

“I did meet her, and she treated me to a dumpling.” Han Fei doesn’t know how to explain. So, he changes the topic: “Can you tell me more about her?”

The man hesitates for a while: “My mom is a nice person, a very nice one. She never married and adopted three orphans. She had worked hard to bring up the three kids.”

“I am the eldest. I have not been in good health since I was a child, my mother named me Meng Changshou. I am the most ordinary among my brothers.”

“The second eldest is called Meng Changxi, an abandoned baby with a somewhat deformed face. He is very intelligent, but may because of his face, he has low self-esteem and an introverted and gloomy personality.”

“The third is called Meng Chang’an, he is the most outstanding of our three brothers, with the best academic performance and the most friends. He is now a department executive of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical. He sends me money every month, but never comes back since mother's accident.”

“What happened to her ten years ago?” This is what Han Fei wants to know indeed.

“I didn't know about this at first until Changshou disappeared and the police came.” The man's eyes are full of self-blame and pain: “My mother ran a cold drink shop after retirement, and the police found many animal carcasses and a corpse in the freezer of her store.”

“Bodies hidden in the freezer!”

“The medical examiner's inference of death was a week ago, and during this week my mother must have known that there was a body hidden in the freezer, but she did not call the police.” The man's hands were clasped together.

“Could it be that the grandma killed that person?” Han Fei needs to figure out whether the old woman is a good person or not, which may be the key to survival in the game.
