When he whipped his head around, it gave Han Fei quite a fright. After all, he was the closest person to the toilet.
"Didn't we just dump it inside the trash can?"
"It's useless, the red dress has appeared once before …" Brother Hua's face blanched like he was reminded of something bad.
"Then how did you deal with it last time? Use fire to burn it? Or cut it up and bury it in the ground? "
"It's all useless. Ever since it appeared, the people inside Apartment 1 died one after another. When there was only one person left, it suddenly disappeared." Brother Hua shrunk his neck and said carefully, "It felt like a blood sacrifice, only blood and death could make it leave."
Brother Hua's words caused both the young guard and Han Fei's expression to shift. No one knew the origin of the red dress, they only knew that once it appeared, people would die. This thing appeared to be even scarier than a real cursed item.
Compared to the young guard, Han Fei had a better understanding of the situation inside the building.
According to the information he got from the security company, all the security guards inside the Ziggurat were carefully selected 'flower pots'. Their purpose was to help the human cocoon absorb enough humanity and then it would bloom into the most beautiful 'flower'.
The butterfly did not care about the security guards' lives at all. It altered the guards' memories and tossed them into the Ziggurat. Everything it did was for the human cocoon.
As long as it could increase its success rate by 1%, it did not care how many guards died.
"Then what should we do? We can't just stay in the same room with it, right? "The young guard hesitated." How about we toss it again? This time, we'll use fire to burn it into ashes and then bury it in the ground. "
"It's useless, it'll come back." Brother Hua sneaked a glance at the young guard's neck and then shook his head to force himself to stay awake.
The sudden appearance of the red dress in the toilet messed with Brother Hua's mind.
"I have a suggestion …" Han Fei raised his arm with difficulty. He whispered, "Didn't you say the first floor is dangerous? Something strange has happened before. "
"Yes, do not go to the first floor after dark, that is the unspoken rule of our security room. We all know that." Brother Hua had no idea what Han Fei was up to.
"Then do you know which room on the first floor is the most dangerous?" Han Fei was also afraid of the red dress inside the toilet. As if afraid that the red dress would hear him, he slowly nudged his body and whispered to Brother Hua, "How about we toss the red dress into the most dangerous room?"
Both the young security guard and Brother Hua were taken aback.
"You're a f * cking genius!" Brother Hua's eyes lit up, but soon he started to struggle again. "But we don't have the keys to the rooms inside the building."
"Then should we squeeze in through the crack of the door? If it really doesn't work, we'll cut the skirt into pieces and stuff them all over the building. Then we'll share the good and the bad together. " Han Fei's voice was like a demon's. The main reason he could come up with this solution was because there were no innocent 'people' in the Ziggurat.
"That's not very good, is it? If the residents in the building find out … "
"Then we'll stuff them into the most dangerous rooms that are often haunted. That way, we won't accidentally harm the other residents. After all, we're not bad people, everything we do is for self-preservation." Han Fei was unable to quit the game. His heart was in his throat, he did not dare to let his guard down.
"You … have a point." Brother Hua nodded. "We haven't tried this before."
"But the red dress is so dangerous. If it's really as Brother Hua said and we send it to the other haunted rooms, won't it trigger a chain reaction? The ghosts in the other rooms will come after us? "The young guard thought of another possibility.
"Then we'll have to rely on luck." Han Fei had no confidence. He had glanced at the building's patrol list earlier. Building 1 had 24 floors and there were 3 rooms with the number '4' — 1044, 1144 and 1244.
These 3 rooms should be the most dangerous rooms in Building 1. Han Fei thought he was quite 'lucky' to have entered one of the most dangerous rooms at the beginning of the game.
"Let's make our move now. I'll feel uncomfortable if I stay with this dress for one more second." Brother Hua walked to the bathroom. The security uniform on his back stuck to his flesh. There was a large pool of sweat there.
He was afraid but he still wanted to maintain the image of a senior before Han Fei and the young guard.
Brother Hua mumbled something under his breath. It sounded like he was praying for the blessings of various gods. After a while, he removed the red dress that was hanging in the bathroom.
Just holding it in his hand, his arms started to shake uncontrollably. He wanted to maintain the image of a senior but he realized he could not even walk normally. His calves were numb. He could feel the red dress staring at him.
"Is it dyed red by blood?" Han Fei was curious as well, but his focus was a little strange.
"It's just a normal red dress, at least that's what it looks like." Brother Hua shuddered as he walked out of the bathroom. "The most dangerous room on the first floor is Room 1004. There is no one living there. The delivery monster that I saw earlier was lying at their door. In fact, I suspect it was the previous tenant of Room 1004 who murdered the delivery man. "
Holding the dress, Brother Hua walked to the door. "Xiao Fang, help me open the door and grab the scissors. We'll go together and finish this as soon as possible."
"Okay."
It took Brother Hua and the young security guard, Xiao Fang, fifteen minutes to get ready. But just as they were about to leave, footsteps suddenly came from the corridor. Then, there was a knock on the door next to them, and a very creepy male voice came from outside.
"Is anyone home? The delivery you ordered has arrived … "
Hearing this voice, Brother Hua and Xiao Fang froze like they were frozen. They stopped at the door and did not dare to breathe too loudly.
"Is anyone home? Is anyone home? Is anyone home?! "
The door next door creaked noisily. Finally, the spring moved as if it had been opened.
The voice in the stairwell disappeared instantly. Brother Hua and Xiao Fang looked at each other and saw the cold sweat on each other's forehead.
"Should we … wait a little longer?"
"The wound on Bai Shinian's body hasn't been treated yet. If we leave her alone, it will only worsen."
"Brother Hua is so thoughtful, no wonder he's our senior."
The two security guards retreated to the bathroom and hung the dress where it was. They took out the first aid kit from the cupboard and started to tend Han Fei's wounds.
Seeing the two guards were too afraid to leave Room 1044, a helpless smile appeared on Han Fei's face.
He wanted to tell the two guards that the reason other ghosts did not come to Room 1044 was not because it was safe but because it was a place of great danger! This was one of the 3 most dangerous rooms in Apartment 1, even ghosts would not dare approach it!
Brother Hua and Xiao Fang took their sweet time tending to Han Fei's wounds. Half an hour later, when there was no more noise in the stairwell, they put away the first aid kit and prepared to leave.
"Xiao Fang, we have to be quick. We need to come back as soon as we're done, we can't stay too long on the first floor." Brother Hua's legs were shaking but he did not forget to remind the young security guard.
"Okay."
The two guards cheered each other on and then left Room 1044 with the red dress.
Closing the door, the weakened Han Fei's gaze shifted. He immediately stood up and started to inspect his body.
The wounds left by the black fog were concentrated on his arms, neck and cheeks. The presence of death within the fog kept stabbing at Han Fei, preventing the wounds from healing. Before the presence of death was eradicated, Han Fei's face would be disfigured.
This was fatal for an actor but Han Fei did not mind. In fact, he was thankful that this way, no one would recognize him and he would be able to play the role of Bai Shinian more perfectly.
'These wounds look scary but they're not that deep, they won't affect me that much.'
After such a long rest, Han Fei's stamina from running for half an hour was slowly recovering. He wandered around Room 1044, trying to find clues and information.
However, he only took a few steps when Han Fei suddenly turned his head around. He felt someone was watching him.
His eyes scanned every corner of the room before stopping at the bathroom.
'Didn't Brother Hua and the rest take the dress away already?'
The lights in the security room flickered several times before going off. Han Fei stood alone in the dark room. He leaned against the wall and did not dare to move.
At this crucial moment, there was a knock on the security room door. A creepy voice came from outside.
"Is anyone home? Your takeaway is here. "
