All the coincidences had linked up to become inevitable.
The battle between the butterfly and the spider continued, and from the looks of it, the spider seemed to have won in the end.
Han Fei listened patiently to the Old Man explain the secrets of the building, including the things that the manager had done inside the building. In the manager's eyes, other than itself, all the other tenants, Lingering Spirits and outsiders were just tools.
All the tenants in the building who had butterfly tattoos on their bodies were 'people' who had survived the manager's attack. They had a deep understanding of the manager's terror.
"There are 4 residential buildings in the Ziggurat Neighbourhood. The manager spends most of his time inside Block 4. He rarely comes out but some of the tenants suspect that there is a very special room inside Block 4. Through that room, one can go to any location in the Ziggurat. That room is the manager's heart. To kill the manager, we have to find that room first. " The Old Man did not even have the intention to oppose the manager but for the sake of her own life, she had no choice but to follow Han Fei's lead. "No one knows where that room is, they only know that the room number seems to be 4444."
'Normally speaking, the rooms in the Ziggurat shouldn't have that number. Therefore, to get to that room, I'll have to use the normal method.' Han Fei turned to the armoire.
After giving it some thought, Han Fei made up his mind. He needed to gain the other tenants' approval first. Then he would try to enter the armoire.
After having the woman stay in Room 1144, Han Fei led the rest to visit the tenants one by one.
With his unique charisma, he won over the remaining tenants of Block 1. After gaining their approval, the system gave Han Fei the notification.
"Notification for Player 0000! After hard work, you've obtained the hidden profession, Ziggurat Guard!
"Do you wish to make this your main profession?"
"No!"
"Notification for Player 0000! You've obtained the side profession, Ziggurat Guard! You've randomly obtained 2 out of 4 profession talents!
"Profession Talent 1, Immunity: When the curse of death is triggered, there's a 10% chance of avoiding certain death!
"Profession Talent 2, Patrol: After midnight, your running speed increases!
"Warning! The difficulty of upgrading your side profession and side profession is extremely high. Levelling up your profession talent requires 3 times the EXP.
"With two jobs, you've gradually become familiar with working life. You've seen more things, and your perfect life has become more colorful!"
"My eyes are all red. How can I be colorful?" Han Fei tried to jog down the corridor. The occupation of the Ziggurat's security guard was more useful than he expected. Just the ability to increase his running speed after midnight was worth it.
Returning to Room 1144, Han Fei sat on the edge of the bed and stared silently at the armoire. His eyes were calm like he was thinking about something important.
No one dared to disturb him. After a long time, when the exit button lit up, Han Fei stood up and walked to the closet.
"We can't miss this opportunity. Let's go in together."
Han Fei, who had nothing to worry about, held the chain. He stood together with the madman and the red dress. Then he stared coldly at the old man in black.
"It's not easy enough to survive in this building. Why do you have to go and provoke trouble? Can you do something that even hatred can't do?" The old man walked towards the armoire unwillingly. When her hand touched the door, the veins on the surface of the armoire bulged. They opened like they were alive.
The veins crawled on the wall and a horrible stench drifted out from the gap. Before the old man could fully open the door, an arm reached out to grab her and dragged her into the armoire.
A perfectly fine 'person' disappeared just like that. Madman was a little scared as he took a few steps back.
"You're the manager's escape route, they won't harm you. In fact, you can use that to your advantage to eliminate them." Han Fei shared his experience with the madman. For a moment, he had no idea who the real madman was.
It was getting closer to 4 am. The armoire kept changing. Han Fei did not waste any more time. He and the red dress opened the armoire together.
The clothes hanging inside the armoire were stained with blood, there were many of them.
The red dress walked into the armoire first and then she reached out to Han Fei.
Han Fei grabbed her wrist and walked into the armoire with the madman. He pushed aside the clothes and to his surprise, there were more and more clothes. The blood stains on the clothes became thicker. It looked like many bloody people were hung on hangers.
From the outside, the armoire did not look that big but once Han Fei entered it, he felt like he was trapped inside a maze. There were blood red clothes everywhere.
At that moment, the only thing that could give Han Fei a sense of security was the red dress but as he walked, Han Fei realized something was wrong.
Even though the arm that he was holding was also wearing red clothes, it did not appear to be a dress.
'Illusion interference?'
The madman did not stop but Han Fei did not dare to let go. He turned back to look but the madman was not following behind him.
When he turned back again, there was only a blood red sleeve left in his hand.
Holding the sleeve, Han Fei stood where he was. Everywhere around him was filled with blood clothes, each one of them appeared to represent a soul that had died a wrongful death.
'Is this the butterfly's armoire? It's good at manipulating people's hearts and these stinking skins are its clothes? '
Han Fei did not act rashly. He knew many Cursed Objects had unique abilities. Once the curse on the object was triggered, it would become more passive.
'I saw the red dress enter the armoire with my own eyes. She's a Large Lingering Spirit, a normal Grade F Cursed Object can't trap her so the safest option is to wait here.'
Han Fei, who had the exit button lit up, was not afraid. Other than that, he still had an unlit cigarette in his inventory. If he was really in danger, he could light one to calm himself down.
'If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move.'
About 10 seconds later, the blood clothes seemed to be touched by something. They started to sway. Something was crawling inside the armoire.
Placing the red paper doll on his shoulder, Han Fei squatted down with the Reborn Butcher's Blade. He stared at the slowly moving clothes before he locked onto a certain direction.
The thing deep inside the armoire seemed to have noticed something strange as well. Greyish white arms reached out from behind the clothes. It rummaged through the clothes one by one. The rustling sound could torture a normal person to the point of insanity.
The distance between them closed. Han Fei held his breath. He was ready to fight.
