"I suggest you stay in the elevator and don't move. The world outside and the inside of the elevator might be two different worlds."
The male student, Yanzu, stood at the corner of the elevator. His online moniker was Yanzu Xin Lu but his real name was Li Yanzu. He was a very introverted child.
He was a man of few words, the only reason he became so talkative after meeting Han Fei was because if he did not open his mouth soon, his soul would disperse. The man before him was like the son of disaster. They had only met for half an hour but the whole building was shaking like it could collapse at any moment.
"We're not here to seek refuge but to find out why the Ziggurat has become like this." Soul chasers usually took the elevator from the underground but Han Fei did the exact opposite. When the building was in chaos, he took the elevator to the underground.
"One of the group members has been underground before, let him persuade you." Yanzu opened the group chat and had one of them message Han Fei. The person's ID was very familiar to Han Fei.
"Like a fish drinking water, initiate a video call!"
Like a fish drinking water, "I'm hiding inside the urn so the light is dim. Just listen to me."
Like a fish drinking water, "The Ziggurat has a habit of summoning souls. It happens every few days and on the Fourth of every month. One day, I was very curious. Where did those souls come from? On the 4th of April last year, I followed a soul chaser to the underground and discovered something very scary. "
"The manager is using the lingering spirit of the ghosts inside the building. He uses the lingering spirit of the living and the dead as ropes and weaves a knot in the depths of the nightmare. Then he uses the dead to summon the souls and the living to enter their dreams. Finally, the so-called summoning of souls is completed."
"If we summon our souls like this, the dead can indeed see the figures of the living, but when the sun rises, all the souls of the living will disappear. Can you guess where the souls have gone?"
Li Yanzu asked, "Underground?"
Like a fish drinking water, "Yes, other than a few powerful tenants like the old ghost at 4234, the souls summoned by the other tenants have all been trapped underground by the manager. The manager has done something to these souls, it appears to be using these souls to cultivate something. "
"Then will people who have lost their souls die in real life?" Han Fei was confused.
"It's fine if he's dead, but I'm afraid he's still alive after losing his soul. Do you think he's still the same person in his body?" The words reminded Han Fei of his Resurrection talent. One of the ways to use the talent was to kill the summoned soul and then inject his consciousness into the soul's body. Because this ability was too weird, Han Fei hadn't used it yet.
"The manager's power is related to nightmares. His power can bring the souls of the living into the Ziggurat through a certain method, but there are great limitations. You can see that just by looking at the decorations in the Ziggurat. From what I know, the success rate of summoning souls is very low. It has a high requirement on the lingering spirit of the dead and the longing of the living."
'No matter how low it is, there should be quite a number of wandering souls trapped in the Ziggurat over the past 10 years.' Han Fei remembered his mission. If he encountered a living person, he would definitely save them if he could.
"This is the other point I'm trying to tell you. If you run into other wandering souls underground, do not get too close to them and do not even try to talk to them." There was a trace of fear in the voice that sounded like a fish drinking water. "When I entered the underground, the elevator suddenly stopped at the fourth floor. I waited for a long time, and a child's head suddenly poked into the elevator. He said that he could not find his way home, and he wanted me to help him."
"Did you help him?"
"Because I've run away from home before and his words touched on something in my heart, so I led him around the 4th floor. Slowly, I realized something was wrong. There was no room on the fourth floor, and there was no way home. The Ziggurat was a tomb! "The girl's voice turned urgent." The boy was trying to lead me into the tomb! "
The lights on the elevator flickered. Han Fei was on the phone when a dirty hand reached out from the side of the elevator door. Then a boy's head poked into the elevator.
He studied the person inside the elevator curiously, he looked quite pitiful.
'Is this the child you're talking about?' Han Fei slowly turned the phone screen. However, the phone that was soaked in the resentment of more than 10 ghosts could not capture the boy's face. Even the cracks on the phone screen started to increase, probably because the phone had captured something that it shouldn't have.
'Go! Stay away from him! '
The phone screen darkened and then the call was cut off. The group chat function was also disabled.
'Looks like there's a big problem with this boy.' Han Fei put away the phone and walked towards the boy. He did not feel fear, if anything, he was like a biologist who had discovered a new species.
Actually, it was not that Han Fei did not feel fear but he understood that fear would not solve any problem. It was better to maintain his rationality and calmness.
"Little boy, why are you out so late at night? Where are your parents? " Han Fei's hand that was behind his back gripped the air. If anything happened to the boy, he would pull out the Blade of Rebirth immediately.
"I live here, but I can't remember which door is behind my house …" The boy sounded like he was about to cry. His clothes were wrinkled, and they did not fit him at all. It was as if he had picked up someone else's clothes and put them on himself.
"Don't panic, try to remember." Han Fei's eyes were gentle and his voice was warm. Then he used the arm that the Great Sin was hiding to pat the boy's shoulder. The bone-piercing soul poison dripped on the boy's clothes. The originally unresponsive Great Sin seemed to come alive again.
"I only remember there is no light at my door. It is very dark there but this place is filled with dark rooms." The boy started to cry.
"Do you want me to send you home?" Han Fei pulled back his arm. A small piece of the paper doll slipped through his fingers and dropped silently into the boy's clothes.
"I have to return before 4: 44 pm. My parents said if I don't return, something scary will happen." The boy cried as he walked out of the elevator. He seemed to be afraid of the dark.
"It's okay, I'll send you home." Using Soul-Depth Touch, Han Fei held the boy's hand. He could feel the stench coming from the boy's soul. It was a feeling that the boy's soul was rotting.
Han Fei had used this ability on many people, but this was the first time that he wanted to let go of his own accord.
"Little boy, what is your name?"
"I don't have a name. My parents said I don't need a name."
"Then how do they usually call you?"
"They never call me or talk to me. It's like I'm just a dead body and they've been dead for a long time." The putrid stench from the boy's soul grew stronger, but his eyes were still as pure as ever.
"Such an enviable family." Han Fei tried to call the Great Sin in his arm. He also noticed something strange. When the Great Sin approached the boy, it would become excited like it had met its mortal enemy.
"The Great Sin is the butterfly's natural enemy. This is a special power confirmed by the system. Could this boy be related to the butterfly?"
"He has been guarding this place since a year ago. This means that he can move freely underground. This boy is very suspicious."
