Chapter 297: Chapter 297 Death Building

Feng Ziyu had spent years secretly investigating many places before he finally managed to compile this information about the Death Building.

The content inside was so bizarre and terrifying that if Han Fei hadn’t been to the Deep World, he probably wouldn’t believe that such a place truly existed in Xinhu.

In the initial version of the game "Perfect Life," to pursue a more realistic gaming experience, some game scenes were modeled after reality, including the Death Building personally designed by the deceased Chairman of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical.

No one knew the real name of the Death Building; it was just a moniker. It seemed that the complex had been closely associated with death from the moment it appeared.

With the Chairman of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical and the driven-mad tester both gone, Feng Ziyu became the person who understood the Death Building the most in the world. He had personally tested all the tasks in the Death Building and had been to most of its rooms.

"I discovered the connection between the Death Building and reality a long time ago. Generally speaking, the Death Building seems like a fictional building conjured by the Chairman of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical, but once you enter, you find it is intricately linked to reality."

"As a tester, I’ve repeatedly checked every task in the Death Building. What seemed like very normal tasks on the surface all concealed extremely terrifying details."

"To give the simplest example, there’s a delivery man outside Building One of the Death Building in the game. He was filling in for a colleague who was temporarily tasked with delivering to the Death Building."

"The character design of this delivery man is completely different from normal NPCs; it’s very dark. He would secretly inject water from the toilet into the food with a syringe, and he would hide crushed fingernails in rice."

"When this delivery man came for the third time, a child’s father spotted him and noticed his little actions. They got into an argument and were even about to come to blows. At that point, the player would get involved in the incident, and depending on different choices, the fate of the delivery man would vary."

"In the game, the worst that can happen to this delivery man is that he’s arrested by the police, detained, and given psychological treatment. But I discovered that things weren’t so simple."

"First of all, the first question arises: the delivery man was a temporary replacement to enter the Death Building, so where did his predecessor go? The game doesn’t explain at all, which is different from the complete storytelling shown by Smart Brain, as if it had been deliberately deleted."

"I tried to search for similar incidents in reality, and to my shock, I found that such an event had indeed happened in Xinhu many years ago."

"It was a murder case, one where two successive delivery men were lured and killed, and their bodies were disguised as a delivery."

"The community where this case took place is called Qiuyun Mansion, a high-end residential area. The murder has been solved, and the murderer was the father of a child living in room 0314."

"If you think this is just an isolated case, you’d be greatly mistaken."

"Just within the confines of this small Death Building, there are more than a dozen storylines, and almost every NPC hides their own story. I’ve investigated them all and discovered something incredibly shocking."

"Almost fifty percent of the NPCs are related to real-life incidents, and their seemingly mundane daily storylines all conceal bloody murders!"

"In the ’Perfect Life’ game, with the help of players, all their stories came to perfect conclusions, but reality was the complete opposite."

"These tragedies and accidents from different residential communities were brought together; I really can’t figure out why the deceased Chairman would design such a place."

"As the investigation deepened, I quickly noticed something even stranger. All the NPCs who hid behind their murderous pasts lived in rooms with the number 4 in their number. The more 4s the room number contained, the more chilling the case associated with that room."

"Based on this, I started to wonder what exactly was in room 4444 of the Death Building."

"I racked my brains, searched the company’s internal documents, and only then did I realize something. There was absolutely no information about room 4444 in the company; the only person who had ever been in room 4444 was my colleague, the tester who had been driven insane."

"There must be something very important hidden in room 4444, something that’s the reason for my colleague’s insanity."

"I used various reasons to access the company’s internal data, searching beneath the ocean of accumulated data, but unfortunately, the truth was completely covered up."

"However, I didn’t come away completely empty-handed. When testing the Death Building, I once accidentally entered a hidden room—room 4944. I clearly remember the layout of that room. In my subsequent investigations, I found that the room was similar to the room where the Chairman of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical lived as a child."

The file also included a diagram. When Han Fei saw that diagram, a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.

The layout of room 4944 was identical to the home in the task of the former Building Chief Manager of the Happiness Residental Community!

"Based on my previous speculation that the more number 4s in the room number, the more horrific the past events, it seems that the childhood of the Chairman of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical was not a happy one."

Feng Ziyu had investigated every room he had been to and arrived at a horrific conclusion: nearly half of the NPCs in the Death Building had been involved in murder cases. It was hard to imagine that such a place had been included in a healing-type game.

After memorizing all the information, Han Fei committed the cases and corresponding room numbers to memory. As he did so, he already felt a chill rising.

Compared to the Death Building, the Happiness Residental Community could truly be said to be "happy."

"Qiuyun Mansion, Lihua Residental Community, Bihai Lantian High-end Apartment, Happiness Road Temporary Accommodation..."

The Death Building had connections to too many places. Among these, Feng Ziyu had specifically highlighted one place, hoping Han Fei would investigate it personally.

"Lihua Residental Community?"

This community bore a name that couldn’t be more ordinary. It was an old and outdated community, and it was also the community where the deceased Chairman of Eternal Life Pharmaceutical had lived during his childhood.

"There are nine NPCs in the Death Building related to this community. It indeed seems necessary to go there and take a look."

The file marked the location of the Lihua Residental Community. Feng Ziyu was a meticulous person, and he also reminded Han Fei that if he went to the Lihua Residental Community, he must try to find a certain person.

This person was once a famous horror film director, who later went mad due to an accident that befell his family.

The reason Feng Ziyu noticed him was because, in room 4144 of the Death Building, he had seen several NPCs who resembled the director’s family members. Most coincidentally, room 4144 also had a black-and-white photo resembling the director by seventy percent.

Curiously, the still-living director had his obituary photo enshrined within the game, as if some boundary between the living and the dead had been inverted.
