"It's April 4th again?" Han Fei felt like all the tenants at the Ziggurat were trapped on this day. They would never see the light of day again.
"The woman's name is Zhuang Wen. The cause of her death is very complicated." Li Xue looked at the result and sucked in a cold breath. "Her birth mother was a D-list horror movie actress called Frost Hope. She was beautiful but her acting skills were average. Most of the horror movies she starred in had low ratings. Just as she was about to change her profession, her mind suddenly went haywire like she was in some kind of shock. She stopped acting and disappeared from the big screen. Not long after that, she married a very young girl to a poor and ugly Exorcist. The girl was Zhuang Wen. "
"The Exorcist?"
"Yes, the Exorcist lived in his own imaginary world. He insisted on using his own method to help Zhuang Wen's mother recover. About 5 years later, Zhuang Wen's mother's condition did not improve. After giving birth to the Exorcist's twins, she passed away.
"Zhuang Wen witnessed everything. Whether it was the various superstitions of the exorcists or the various rituals performed on Zhuang Wen's mother, she saw everything. Her world had become different from other children since she was very young."
After the woman passed away, the Exorcist was in great pain. He started to believe that the source of all the tragedy was the unknown girl.
"In the Exorcist's family, only Zhuang Wen had a different surname. As the twins grew up, they started to view Zhuang Wen as an outsider.
"Zhuang Wen's temper became more and more eccentric and unpredictable, until one day, the exorcist suddenly stared at Zhuang Wen and said that she was bewitched, that she was haunted, and that she had experienced the same thing as her mother.
"Zhuang Wen thought that the Exorcist only said that because he hated her, but she later realized that she was ridiculously wrong. The exorcist's family of three did treat her as a monster, an ominous, dangerous monster that needed to be exorcised. "
"The girl's personality became more and more extreme. She was not possessed by ghosts but she was forced to say she was possessed.
"The atmosphere in their family was very strange. The Exorcist and the twins were together. Without the girl's permission, they performed various' exorcisms' on her.
"The girl didn't know whether she was haunted or not, but she felt like the family of three were worse than ghosts."
"Zhuang Wen grew up in torment. She wanted to leave when she grew up, but in this kind of environment, her personality has become different from normal people."
"It wasn't just the exorcist's family of three. Even the neighbors felt that there was something wrong with her. It was very difficult for Zhuang Wen to control her emotions. In fact, roaring and screaming were the last things she could do. Only by showing a strong side could she stop the exorcist and the twins from taking an inch."
"The conflict between the two parties intensified. The Exorcist did not hate Zhuang Wen, but he stubbornly believed that the ghost that once trapped Zhuang Wen's mother had returned to Zhuang Wen.
"In order to completely exorcise the 'ghost' in Zhuang Wen, the exorcist locked her in the house when Zhuang Wen was asleep at night, forbidding her from going out."
"Zhuang Wen's mental and physical condition is getting worse and worse, and there is still a whole year before she dies."
"No one knew what happened in the last year, because the neighbors never saw Zhuang Wen leave her house again, and they never heard the hysterical screams again. What happened in that room in the last year became a mystery."
"One year later, Zhuang Wen died. In the same year, the exorcist's family of three died one after another. They died in the same way as Zhuang Wen."
After Li Xue said that, she added, "Due to the time constraints, this is all we could find. I can send you more detailed information at any time. But are you sure their deaths are related to the Butterfly? "
"I just have a feeling that their deaths are similar to the Butterfly's way of killing. I can't be sure for now, but I have a feeling they are somehow connected. When I was sifting through the human jigsaw case files, I had a similar feeling. "To increase the persuasiveness, Han Fei had to say this.
"You're right, I feel like you're the Butterfly's destiny."
"That's what I think too." After hanging up, Han Fei received the information that Li Xue had prepared for him. It recorded all the people who had harmed the female streamer and the suicide ghost.
After going through the information, Han Fei reentered the room.
He glanced at Zhuang Ren on the sofa and asked casually, "Director Zhuang, have you heard of a girl called Zhuang Wen?"
"Nope."
"Then do you know Yuanshuang? She's Zhuang Wen's mother. "
"She sounds familiar. I remember she acted in a horror movie at my place but she has no talent in acting. No matter how hard I tried, she couldn't do it." Zhuang Ren was reminded of that woman.
"Pardon me for asking, but what is the relationship between the two of you? Why would Yuanshuang name her daughter Zhuang Wen? "
"There's really nothing between us!" Zhuang Ren answered confidently. Han Fei did not press further. He returned his attention to the game.
When he went out to answer the phone earlier, he stayed at the Ziggurat for too long. The 4 guards at the security room all turned into ghosts after they finished their story. They were the last ghost story, they killed the game characters together.
Han Fei started from the beginning and entered the Ziggurat for the second time.
This time, Han Fei memorized all the ghost stories seriously. It was not until they started to talk about the red dress in Room 1044 that Han Fei felt something was wrong.
He stared at the screen and realized with every word the guard said, the bathroom door would open a little more.
His experience in the cryptic world was a great help to Han Fei. Now that he could control his character freely, he left without hesitation.
He calculated the time in his mind. When he reentered the room several minutes later, 3 of the 4 guards had already been killed.
The surviving security guard was sitting in a pool of blood. Behind him stood a long red dress.
'Looks like the old guard was merely feeding him the information from the Butterfly. If he really does that, he'll only be able to delay his death.'
When the red dress appeared, Han Fei's character was also cursed by the Death Curse of Room 1044 — he would die if he slept.
Both the guard and the red dress had lost their minds. They charged at the game character at high speed. Han Fei watched helplessly as he was killed.
'The guards are normal NPCs inside the building but they appear to have other purposes. Looks like I can't let them die so easily.'
Han Fei was getting more and more familiar with the game. He could reduce the clearing time of all the previous maps to less than 1 hour.
Zhuang Ren looked at Han Fei's nimble controls and listened to the clicking sound. He was dumbfounded.
Han Fei's memory was incredible. He could even remember the sequence and number of keystrokes. He did not even need to look at the map, all he needed to do was press the buttons.
When he returned to the security room, Han Fei rushed into the bathroom and removed the red dress.
After he was cured of the Death Curse, he grabbed the dress and ran out of the room. Then he rushed to the first floor.
He had the red dress deal with the deliveryman first. After that, he picked up the delivery man's carcass box and carried the red dress upstairs.
He used the delivery box to trade with the merchant. After the merchant happily carried the red dress home, Han Fei controlled his character to stand guard in the corridor.
Just as Han Fei thought the merchant was going to be killed, the door to his house was pushed open and the merchant escaped.
Entering the merchant's room, Han Fei stuffed everything that he could into the delivery box. Then he placed the paper money inside the room that he had not been to in the cryptic world.
Humans die for money, birds die for food. When the merchant sneaked back, the stingy miser realized the money he had saved up had been shoved into other rooms.
The merchant tried to find ways to enter those rooms and attracted the attention of various ghosts. Han Fei controlled his character to follow behind him. He memorized the layout and the people inside each room.
