"So the security guards you sent to the Ziggurat are 'flower pots'?"
"You can say that, they are used to grow flowers."
At this point, Bai Shinian, who had not shown any reaction, walked out. His eyes bulged out and his pupils were bloodshot. "You knew everyone was going to die but you still tricked them?"
"If not for your cowardice and your master's willingness to be your flower pot, do you think a useless piece of trash like you would be able to survive until now?" The monster thought Han Fei was lured here by Bai Shinian. He glared venomously at Bai Shinian.
"Bang!"
A dainty fist landed heavily on the monster's face. Bai Shinian gasped for air. His body continued to grow like there was no limit.
Han Fei still had some questions to ask so he had Drake pull Bai Shinian to the side.
"Do the security guards you sent to the Ziggurat have any special markings on them? Or do they need to go through some kind of training beforehand? "Han Fei's real goal was to infiltrate the Ziggurat as a security guard, he could not allow anyone to see through his disguise.
"The security guards at the Ziggurat will wear the cursed uniform. Their uniforms are haunted by the souls of their previous owners. Passing the test is only the first step, you still need to drink a drop of blood from the manager of the Ziggurat. "The monster did not dare resist Han Fei, he knew it would be too easy for Han Fei to kill him.
"The manager's blood?"
"I have no idea whose blood it is but I do know some kind of insect egg is hidden inside the blood. As long as you drink the blood and your soul is still intact, the insect egg will crawl into the deepest part of your soul. From that moment onwards, the security guard will become a qualified flower pot. They will be tortured by the pain and desire brought by the insect egg until they lose their humanity and become what many residents call outsiders. "
After a short pause, the monster added, "There are a small number of people who can resist the effects of the insect egg after drinking the blood but once they drink the egg, their fate is sealed."
"What visible changes will happen to their body after drinking the egg?"
"Firstly, they will become cruel and violent. Compared to humans, they are more like insects and animals. They have no sense of rationality and love to kill." What the monster said was similar to what Han Fei had seen from the non-locals. He could perform the same effect but he could be crazier than normal non-locals.
"There will also be some changes to the body. The most obvious change is that the place where the eggs reside will slowly grow strange patterns like butterfly wings. This kind of pattern can't be removed at all. It will accompany the flower pot for the rest of its life. "
"After the eggs enter the body, how long will it take for the patterns to grow on the surface of the skin?"
"It varies from person to person. The fastest ones only need a few hours, the slower ones might take more than a month." Han Fei could not verify what the monster said. The butterfly pattern was indeed a bit troublesome.
"Does everyone in the Ziggurat have butterfly tattoos?"
"No, the situation at the Ziggurat is very complicated." The monster did not dare to say anything. As if afraid of triggering a curse, he uttered word by word, "The Ziggurat is the scariest building in this area. The danger is manifold. Other than the manager that no one has seen before, there are many other scary things inside, they are beyond your imagination."
"I'm curious, why would so many scary things gather at the Ziggurat?" Han Fei could not understand this.
"I don't know, but once when I went to collect a broken 'flower pot', one of the tenants at the Ziggurat said that one of the rooms in the Ziggurat seemed to be able to see the other side of the nightmare …" Halfway through the sentence, the monster's body seemed to have stopped moving. Then the fat on his body started to tremble violently. Black mist oozed out from his skin like ropes with blades hanging from them, tearing his body apart.
His ugly face was filled with disbelief. His eyes were wide open, but he couldn't say a word.
The black fog drifted out from his mouth and shattered his head.
The stench permeated the air. After ensuring that the monster's soul was gone, the black fog turned back into mist and drifted away.
The Great Sin swallowed the black fog happily. Han Fei, on the other hand, did not look so good. He saw the word 'Death' on the monster's rapidly decaying heart.
As the monster's soul dissipated, so did the word.
'Is this the Death Curse of the Ziggurat?'
The monster had accidentally triggered the Death Curse. Han Fei still had many questions that he did not have time to ask.
'It's one of the stronger Lingering Spirits of the average size. It's rare to see a Lingering Spirit with such power and rationality, no wonder the Ziggurat would place such importance on it.' Out of habit, Drake walked to Han Fei's side when the monster triggered the curse. "The Ziggurat wouldn't cast a curse on people that easily, they would only do so if the target is taken seriously. Based on my knowledge, there are many types of Death Curses, this should be the lowest level. "
All the Lingering Spirits gathered around Han Fei. Only Bai Shinian stared blankly at the blood stain on the ground.
He was reminded of many things and he knew why he had ended up like this. He wanted to avenge his master and colleagues but the killer was already dead.
"Hey, don't tell me you think this guy is the culprit?"
Han Fei patted Bai Shinian's shoulder. "The real monster that killed your master should still be inside the company, your boss can only be considered an agent."
Bai Shinian was still trying to figure out what an agent was when Han Fei led the others to the elevator.
There was a Grade F mission hidden inside the security company, this meant that there was a large Lingering Spirit inside the company, it was at least on the same level as the Cattle Alley doctor.
"On the surface, the boss is already dead, the other party should know about our existence. Let's go meet it face to face." All the tenants at Happiness Neighbourhood and the teachers at Yi Ming Private Academy were there. Even though Han Fei's power was not enough to take on the Ziggurat, he could easily flatten a security company.
'Under the guise of their protector, they engage in the dirty business of human trafficking. They treat the tenants on the street as goods and merchandise. They have never really thought about managing this street properly.' Han Fei pressed the button on the elevator and the bloody elevator door slowly opened.
"What are you doing?" Bai Shinian stood next to the monster's carcass. She looked at Han Fei and the Lingering Spirits that were willing to follow behind Han Fei.
"Yi Ming Street needs a new guardian, a real one." After entering the elevator, Han Fei waved at Bai Shinian. "Come with me."
"The Ziggurat is so scary. Protecting Yi Ming Street means going against the Ziggurat. After we kill the boss, where are we going to find a new guardian?"
"There's no need." Han Fei smiled as he stood in the middle of all the Lingering Spirits. "He's already here."
