Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Touch Me and You Die
As time passed, the entire building began to change, and by the time 4:44 a.m. arrived, the Death Building would reveal its true form.
"I’ve already been here for three hours, and as long as I can complete the patrol mission before 4:44 a.m., I can exit the game directly and avoid the most terrifying brush with death."
Han Fei was about to withdraw his gaze when an arm appeared by the railing on the fifth floor.
The arm, smeared with blood, was as twisted as a charred pretzel.
It seemed to feel Han Fei’s gaze and stopped moving where it was gripping the handrail.
Moments later, a face covered in bloodstains poked through the gap in the staircase, her features distorted, those malicious eyes fixed on Han Fei, and her lips that were like two layers of skin slowly parted as if to say—I’ll kill anyone I touch!
"Isn’t that the woman who just jumped off the building? How did she get inside?"
The woman downstairs was different from all the ghosts and monsters inside the building; the malice she carried was very strong, even surpassing Ma Manjiang, whom Han Fei had encountered before.
Her eyes held only pure evil and madness, as if she’d be glad to kill everyone to vent the grudge energy about to burst from within her.
"This woman wants everyone to die!"
The ghosts and monsters of the Deep World still retained some humanity, which was their most precious attribute, but this woman was completely different.
The handrail she had touched was covered in Blood Silk, the steps she had walked on were scattered with dark red droplets of blood, and her gaze towards Han Fei was filled with a desire for destruction and torture.
Fighting the impulse to throw the Red Skirt down to cover that Ghost Face, Han Fei didn’t know what to do.
With the Building-jumping Ghost closing in on them, the distance shrinking, if what the Ghost Face claimed was true—that death would follow upon being touched—then the three security guards were in grave danger!
The most critical thing was that the ground floor, now stained red, was already undergoing a transformation.
They could only run upstairs, but being caught if they ran upstairs was bound to happen sooner or later.
Perhaps the only option was to hide in one of the rooms before being caught, avoiding the Building-jumping Ghost.
"Brother Hua! Xiaofang! Look downstairs!" Han Fei also started to run: "The woman who just jumped off the building is coming after us!"
"What do you mean?!"
"I mean exactly what I said!"
When Xiaofang and Brother Hua looked downstairs, the woman had already vanished, and they only saw the bloodstains on the stair railing, as if someone had fallen from a high place onto the handrail.
Bloodstains don’t appear out of nowhere; they both began to believe Han Fei’s words.
"Brother Hua, didn’t you say only the first floor was dangerous?"
"The previous security guard lost contact on the first floor! I didn’t say anything wrong!" Brother Hua was somewhat anxious, "Something’s off tonight! I’ll try to contact people from the other buildings."
He took out the walkie-talkie, but after fiddling with it for a while, there was only the sound of static coming from it: "I checked it before leaving. How did it suddenly stop working?"
"Are there night shift security guards in the other buildings as well?"
"Of course, the second and third buildings only have one security guard at night. Our building one and building four have more security guards because there have been disappearances."
Brother Hua was still trying to adjust the walkie-talkie: "I was planning to contact a colleague in building four. The central control room for all the surveillance is in building four, and the colleagues there can see through surveillance what’s happening down in our building."
"The main surveillance control room is in building four?" Han Fei felt as if he understood where that feeling of being watched had come from, and at the same time, he understood why the madman on the fourteenth floor had destroyed the monitors!
Han Fei was now grateful that his face had been injured by the black fog. The butterfly on his security uniform had never been seen before, and playing the role of Bai Sinian, the aura and personality he exuded were somewhat different from the real person.
Even if it was someone who knew him, it would be hard to recognize him just through surveillance.
"The one watching the monitors in building four doesn’t have to be the butterfly; I should still be undiscovered. If I were exposed, with the butterfly’s cautious nature, I guess it would probably come to kill me personally."
Han Fei, who lived on the edge, hadn’t planned to enter the Death Building today; it was a complete accident. Not even the butterfly, nor himself, had anticipated this.
"That singing voice is an unspeakable entity, but why hasn’t it caused any major disturbances? It’s disappointing, not living up to its reputation." Han Fei thought, this complex has four buildings in total, and building four emits the strongest sense of Death Intent. Could it be possible that the singing voice went directly to building four?
Among the four buildings, choosing one, the decision of the singing voice also determined Han Fei’s fate.
While he was contemplating, the system’s voice suddenly rang again in Han Fei’s mind.
"Player number 0000, please take note! Intense resentment is approaching! The hatred in her heart is almost reaching its limit! She wants to destroy everything she sees!"
"Your figure has been spotted by her, congratulations on successfully triggering the F-level hidden quest—’Touched by Death’!"
"Touched by Death: Carrying the most malicious curse, she jumped from the twenty-fourth floor. During her fall, she saw every neighbor on each floor of the building. She vowed to kill everyone in the building, and she obtained the deadliest Death Curse of building one—all who are touched by her will die!"
"Quest requirements: Enter room 1244 of the Death Building. Before that, by no means let her touch you!"
"Be careful! Resentment will turn into Hatred when certain conditions are met, but some resentments will lose humanity completely in this process. They cannot control the hatred in their hearts and ultimately become monsters that only know how to vent their pain! They might not be as terrifyingly evil as genuine Hatred, but they are several times more frightening than ordinary grudges! Definitely not something that you, only a level twelve player, can handle."
Before he could fully digest the system’s warning in his mind, Han Fei was already breaking out in a cold sweat. He hadn’t expected that the woman who jumped from the building would carry such a terrifying Death Curse.
"Let’s run upstairs! Quick! That thing is coming!" Han Fei could feel a wave of malevolence rising slowly like the tide. He had been following behind the group but now he rushed to the front. He needed to get into room 1244 before the woman could catch up to him.
Patrol and seeking the truth were set aside for now—the most crucial thing was to survive!
"Brother Hua, is there any owner upstairs who’s easy to talk to? We should take refuge in their room for now." Xiaofang also heard the strange noise coming from downstairs; it felt as though a giant spider was rapidly climbing up from below, chasing after them.
"What are you talking about? Since when do security guards hide in an owner’s home during their night patrol because they’re scared?"
"No time! That thing is coming!" Han Fei’s voice was so urgent it changed, and when he peered over the railing of the staircase again, he saw the twisted arm reaching the eighth floor!
