"As the tattoo becomes clearer, I can feel my body lightening. It's like my soul has grown wings and it can fly out from my body at any moment."
The madman touched the tattoo on his body. The expression on his face was strange. It was disgusting but at the same time, he was forced to endure it. "I'm telling the truth. You can think of me as a madman but I hope you'll reconsider what I've said."
Turning off the faucet, the madman opened the bathroom door. He turned to look at the clock hanging on the living room wall.
"It's almost 4 am, I need to return to my bedroom. If you're willing to believe me, then come find me when the sun is up!" The madman did not stop Han Fei anymore. He hesitantly walked to the bedroom door of Room 1144. Before he opened the door, he turned back to look at Han Fei. "Are you really the security here? Is this the place you work in in your memory? "
Han Fei nodded. The madman looked at Han Fei with pity. "You'd better not patrol between 4 am and 5 am, that's the most dangerous period. Other than that, there's something else I wish to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Previously, the security guards in the building also disappeared during night patrols."
When the madman said that, the system audio rang in Han Fei's mind. He had finally triggered the first mission of the Ziggurat!
"Notification for Player 0000! You've successfully triggered Grade F Hidden Mission — Night Patrol!
"Night Patrol: Complete a complete patrol mission.
"Warning! After completing this mission, you have a chance to obtain the hidden profession of Ziggurat Security!
"Warning! Players can only choose one profession as their main profession. There's no limit to the number of side professions and side professions. However, you can only obtain part of the bonus from the side professions. "
When Han Fei first heard the notification, he was quite happy. After completing the mission, he would be able to log off smoothly.
But the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. The task of night patrol sounded so normal, but the difficulty was actually F level!
His last Grade F Hidden Mission was completed with the help of all his neighbours. Now he only had one teammate — Brother Hua? Xiao Fang?
Han Fei was startled. He wanted to ask the madman more questions but the man opened the bedroom door.
There was no light in the small bedroom. When the madman opened the door, it was as if he was dragged away by something!
The bedroom door was closed again, and the clock on the wall pointed to 3: 44 am
Blood began to seep out of the walls of the room. Occasionally, broken human body parts would be squeezed out of the shadows in the corners. No one knew where those things came from.
After the madman left, a trace of hidden pity appeared in Han Fei's eyes. This man trapped in the nightmare was just one of the Butterfly's' creations'.
"I'll find you after dawn? But the sky never brightens here. " Han Fei felt like the madman's memory was also frozen on 4th April, this day should be very special for the owner of the Ziggurat.
Grabbing the doorknob, before something bigger happened to Room 1144, Han Fei hurried out.
"Bai Shinian! Are you alright? "
"It's my fault! I shouldn't have let a newcomer like you get so close! "
Both Brother Hua and Xiao Fang were worried about Han Fei. They had been banging on the door earlier. To save Han Fei, they had caused quite a commotion.
"I looked at his hands. They're intact. But I didn't get anything else out of him. He's been acting like a madman. He keeps saying things that I can't understand. "Han Fei appeared to be quite spooked as well.
"Don't think too deeply about the madman's words or you'll become one."
"As long as he's fine. Let's leave this floor for now."
When Brother Hua was banging on the door earlier, he was more worried about Han Fei. Now that Han Fei was out, looking at the dark corridor, he had a feeling many things would come their way.
"Come, let's go to the 15th floor."
Compared to a dark place, most people felt safer at a place with light.
The 3 guards did not dare to stay for too long. They hurried to the 15th floor.
The voice-activated lights came on but this time, the lights did not bring them any warmth.
Brother Hua's banging on the door earlier was too loud, something inside the building appeared to have woken up.
Whenever the 3 of them moved, their footsteps would be mixed with other people's footsteps. The person's footsteps were faster than a normal person's. It came from downstairs, it appeared to be chasing after the 3 guards.
"Brother Hua, how long do you normally take to complete a patrol mission?" With the red dress draped over his arm, Han Fei started to think about how to complete this Grade F mission with just the 3 of them.
"That depends on the situation. If there's no problem, half an hour should be enough but if there's a problem, then it's hard to say." Brother Hua glanced at the watch on his wrist. "If we speed up, we'll definitely be back before 4: 44 pm. Normally speaking, the second half of the night is still quite …"
Pa!
Before he finished, the 3 heard the sound of glass shattering come from upstairs.
As they turned their heads to look upstairs, the three of them happened to see the window in the corridor.
Just outside the window, a face was stuck to the staircase window, and it fell down!
"Someone jumped off the building!"
Xiao Fang stumbled back in fear. The 3 of them could see clearly that the man's face was completely twisted. As his body fell, his eyes kept staring at the security inside the building!
More importantly, the man's cracked mouth kept opening and closing like it was trying to say something.
Han Fei reacted the fastest. He rushed to the window but when he looked out, there was nothing outside. They did not hear the man land on the ground.
"Is it the owner of the building?!" Xiao Fang grabbed Brother Hua. His legs were shaking.
"I've not seen her before! She doesn't seem to be from this building. " Brother Hua was scared out of his wits. This happened too suddenly, no one was prepared for it. "Based on the sound, she shouldn't be far from our floor! Quick! Don't just stand there! Let's go upstairs! "
Brother Hua urged but Han Fei stood beside the window. The woman's face kept replaying in his mind.
"She seems to be talking." When Han Fei was at Happiness Neighbourhood, he had read a book about lip language. To communicate with his closed-off neighbour, he even taught himself sign language.
These things were usually useless but at crucial moments, they provided Han Fei with some help.
"Talking?"
"Yes, she said something like … if I touch her, she'll die." Han Fei tried his best to reconstruct the sentence. He believed that was what the woman was trying to say.
"Don't overthink it, let's go see which house is the culprit!" Brother Hua and Xiao Fang walked up the stairs, and as they walked, the sound of several footsteps came from the corridor.
Han Fei did not follow them upstairs. Instead, he stood beside the banister and glanced down.
The banister below the 4th floor was already dyed red and the blood was still spreading up the stairs.
