'The door to Apartment 1 is already open. The black fog has seeped into the building and the singing might reach here as well. I need to figure out a way to go to the other buildings to find Feng Ziyu. But before that, I need to get my hands on the hidden profession of the Ziggurat's security guard. '
In the cryptic world, one had to be careful with every step. Han Fei planned to stay at Apartment 1 for 3 hours before leaving.
'Zhuang Wen should have gone to find the Butterfly. Hopefully, she'll get what she wants.' Han Fei tried to close the door again but the lock was broken. Even if he closed it, the black fog would still seep in.
While Han Fei was fiddling with the staircase door, a black arm suddenly crawled out from the fog. He hurriedly raised the Blade of Rebirth to shield himself, but before he could do anything else, the arm was entangled by countless blood vessels, and then it was instantly shredded into pieces.
The blood vessels retracted. The red dress stopped in the corridor. She stared at Han Fei closely. He was such a weak person, how dare he interfere with the conflict between the Suicide Ghost and the Large Lingering Spirit.
"Thank you." Han Fei recovered. He put away the Blade of Rebirth and walked to the red dress. "I'm sorry, but I'm sure you'll agree to let me be the security guard here, right?"
The red dress nodded. There was no reason to reject him.
"Can you help me convince the other people? I want to stay here to help more people find themselves again. I know I'm weak and I don't have any special power. Many times, I can't even save myself. " Han Fei smiled bitterly. "I don't even know when I'll die but I still want to tell more people, in this world of darkness, there are people like me who persevere."
Han Fei's every word struck the red dress's heart, that was what she once believed as well.
The red dress fluttered in the wind, pulling on the resentment of the whole building. The red dress nodded again. "They will agree."
With the red dress following him, Han Fei's courage grew. He planned to knock on the doors one by one to ask for their opinion.
He did not want to go through so much trouble but this was the system's requirement. To regain the hidden profession of security guard, he had to gain the approval of all the tenants.
First, Han Fei came to the room of the woman in the wedding dress. He had been running for his life and did not have the time to look for her.
Other than that, Han Fei noticed something else. Compared to the other tenants, the wedding dress woman was quite powerful. Most importantly, she could leave the Ziggurat freely. This caught Han Fei's attention.
He knocked on the door, but there seemed to be no one in the room, so he had to ask the red dress for help.
The blood on the red dress crawled into the keyhole, and a strange pattern appeared on the door. It was mysterious and beautiful.
The red dress misunderstood Han Fei. Not only the room where the woman was, but all the doors on this floor were opened.
Doors were slammed against the walls, and the bloody house numbers seemed to be crying.
Looking into the room, Han Fei noticed the layout was similar to the Ziggurat game. He entered the bedroom and his eyes stared at the wedding picture on the bedside table.
"Business with integrity. I will definitely do what I promised you. Now, I have come to the appointment in advance."
Han Fei appeared to be talking to himself. There was no response from the ghosts inside the room. There was not even a trace of Yin energy in the room. It looked even cleaner than the rooms in the world of the living.
"I know you're here." Han Fei said as he took the wedding dress woman's veil from his inventory. Just as he was about to hand it over to the red dress, the woman's face in the wedding picture turned green and her eyes started to fill with blood.
A pale hand grabbed the picture frame. A woman over 2 metres tall crawled out from the wedding picture.
Her eyes wandered between Han Fei and Han Fei's back. Her cracked lips slowly opened but after a long hesitation, she could not say a word.
'I just want to ask you for a small favor. You don't have to lure the scariest ghost here to my home, do you?
This is the first time you're here, and you want to kill my whole family? '
The woman did not dare to remain silent, she was afraid that she would not have the chance to speak.
"The building has not been peaceful recently, we can talk about our business later."
"It's fine now. The ghost from the top floor has left. Now the most authoritative tenant of Apartment 1 is standing behind me."
"Top … floor?" The woman stared at Han Fei with disbelief. "The chaos at the building these past 2 nights, it has something to do with you?"
"Yes, it does have something to do with me. You're the one who recommended me to be the security guard at the Ziggurat." Han Fei smiled at the woman.
The woman wanted to blind herself but she did not dare to act rashly.
"Don't you want to enter a room? We can go there now, I'm a man of my word. "
Han Fei asked again and again. The woman finally said, "I want to enter a room at Apartment 4. My husband's eyes are there."
"Apartment 4? You know how to enter Apartment 4? "
"I used to stay at Apartment 4 but my room has been occupied by something else." The woman peeled off the human skin around her neck. A blood red key was hidden inside her throat. "You only need to help me stall that thing for 5 minutes."
"Deal. But before that, I need to visit the other tenants. You'll have to follow me for now." Another person joined the group behind Han Fei. The woman maintained a distance from the woman in the red dress.
Along the way, almost all the tenants acknowledged Han Fei. They gave Han Fei high praise. There was even a ghost whose mouth was sewn up who praised Han Fei in sign language.
As a security guard, Han Fei was happy to receive praise and approval from the tenants.
They arrived at the 14th floor. Han Fei led the other two security guards and the woman in the red dress to Room 1144.
Before they knocked, an old lady appeared from the staircase. She wore a black dress and there was a butterfly tattoo on the back of her neck.
Han Fei had seen this old lady before. She liked to go out at night and had been looking for a way out. She appeared to know some of the truth.
"Young man, I advise you not to open that door. You've done a good job but you can't change anything. Perhaps everything will return to normal at the next midnight." The old lady looked at Han Fei darkly. She appeared to have been hiding on the 14th floor.
"How will I know if I don't try?" Han Fei walked to the old lady. "Granny, you're also a tenant of this building. Are you satisfied with my work? Feel free to tell me if you have any suggestions. "
"I suggest we get a new group of security guards. That way, everyone can live longer." The old lady hunched her back. She looked at Han Fei like she was staring at an ominous being.
"Granny, have you misunderstood me?" Han Fei took out a cigarette from his inventory. "I'm asking for your suggestion but I didn't ask you to make a wish."
