Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Expelling "Evil

"April 4th again?" Han Fei felt that all the residents of the Death Building were trapped in this day, endlessly cycling through this tragedy, never to see the dawn.

"That woman’s name was Zhuang Wen, and the cause of her death was very complex." Li Xue looked at the investigation results and took a light breath of cold air, "Her biological mother was a fourth-rate horror film actress named Yuanshuang. She was pretty, but her acting was mediocre, and the horror movies she starred in usually received low ratings. When she was preparing to shift her career, she suddenly experienced mental problems, as if she had been scared by something. She stopped acting and disappeared from the big screen. Not long after, she married a poor and ugly ’Demon Exorcist’ with a very young girl; that girl was Zhuang Wen."

"Demon Exorcist?"

"Right, that Demon Exorcist lived in a world of his own, insisting on using his methods to restore Zhuang Wen’s mother’s health. About five years later, there was no improvement in her mother’s illness, and she died after giving birth to a set of dragon and phoenix twins for the Demon Exorcist."

"Zhuang Wen witnessed everything, whether it was the Demon Exorcist’s superstitious sayings or the various rituals performed on her mother; she saw all of it, and her world became different from other children’s at a very young age."

"After the woman passed away, the Demon Exorcist was in deep sorrow. He gradually began to believe that the root of all disasters lay in that ambiguous girl."

"In the Demon Exorcist’s home, only Zhuang Wen’s surname differed from theirs. As the twins grew up, they began to regard Zhuang Wen with hostility, seeing her as an outsider."

"Zhuang Wen’s temperament also became increasingly peculiar and unpredictable until one day the Demon Exorcist suddenly stared at Zhuang Wen, claiming she was possessed, saying she had a ghost and had encountered the same situation as her mother."

"Zhuang Wen thought the Demon Exorcist was only saying this because he disliked her, but later she found she was terribly wrong. The Demon Exorcist’s family of three indeed treated her as a monster, an ominous, dangerous creature that needed to be exorcised."

"The girl’s personality became more extreme; she had no ghost, yet people pressured her into saying she was cursed."

"Their home had a very strange atmosphere; the Demon Exorcist and the twins, without the girl’s consent, subjected her to various ’exorcisms’."

"The girl didn’t know if she had a ghost, but she felt that the family of three was more detestable than ghosts."

"Zhuang Wen grew up in agony, hoping to leave once she grew up. However, in such an environment, her temperament had become different from that of a normal person."

"It was not just the Demon Exorcist and his twins; even the neighbors thought she had problems. Zhuang Wen found it difficult to control her emotions. Actually, at that time, raging and screaming were the only things she could do; only by showing extreme aggression could she prevent the Demon Exorcist and the twins from overstepping their bounds."

"The conflicts between the two sides intensified. The Demon Exorcist did not hate Zhuang Wen; he was very paranoid and believed that the ghost that once troubled Zhuang Wen’s mother had now possessed Zhuang Wen."

"To completely exorcise the ’ghost’ from Zhuang Wen, the Demon Exorcist took advantage of the night while Zhuang Wen was asleep, locked her in the house, and forbade her from going out."

"Zhuang Wen’s mental and physical health deteriorated, and there was still exactly one year left until her death."

"No one knew what happened in that last year, because the neighbors never saw Zhuang Wen leave her home again nor hear any hysterical roars. What happened in that room during the last year became a mystery."

"A year later, Zhuang Wen died. That same year, the Demon Exorcist and his family of three also died, in the same way as Zhuang Wen."

After Li Xue finished speaking, she added, "We’re short on time, so this is all we could find. I can send you the specific and detailed information. However, are you sure that their deaths are also related to the Butterfly?"

"I just feel that their deaths and the Butterfly’s way of killing are somewhat similar; I can’t be sure for now, but I always feel there is some kind of connection between them. I had a similar feeling when I was sorting through the Human-body Puzzle case files." To make his point more convincing, Han Fei could only say this.

"That’s really something, I feel like you are destined to have an ordeal related to the Butterfly."

"That’s what I think too." After hanging up the phone, Han Fei received the documents Li Xue had organized, which recorded all those who had harmed the Female Live-streamer and the Building-jumping Ghost.

After reviewing the information, Han Fei re-entered the room.

He glanced at Zhuang Ren on the couch and casually asked, "Director Zhuang, have you ever heard of a girl named Zhuang Wen?"

"No."

"Do you know Yuanshuang? She’s Zhuang Wen’s mother."

"She seems familiar, as if she acted in a horror film for me once, but she didn’t have much acting talent, no matter how much I directed her, she couldn’t do it well." Zhuang Ren remembered that woman.

"May I ask something offensive, what’s your relationship with her? Why would Yuanshuang name her daughter Zhuang Wen?"

"There’s really no relationship!" Zhuang Ren said with certainty, and Han Fei didn’t continue questioning him, instead, he focused back on the game.

He had gone out to take a phone call and had stayed in the same spot in Death Building for too long. After the four security guards in the security room finished telling the story, they all turned into ghosts. They were the last Kaidan, and together they killed the game character.

Starting over from the beginning, he then entered Death Building for the second time.

This time Han Fei memorized all the Kaidan told by the security guards very seriously until they started talking about Red Skirt in room 1044, and something felt wrong to Han Fei.

He stared intently at the screen and noticed that with each additional word the security guard said, the bathroom door would open a bit more.

The experiences in Deep World were of great help to Han Fei, and when he could freely control the character, he decisively left.

He calculated the time in his mind. A few minutes later, when he entered the room again, three of the four security guards had already been killed.

The surviving security guard sat collapsed in a pool of blood, with a long red dress standing behind him.

"It seems that the things the old security guard talked about were just implanted by Butterfly. Trying to do that would probably only delay death," Han Fei thought.

When Red Skirt appeared, Han Fei’s game character was also hit with the Death Curse from room 1044—if you sleep, you die.

Both the security guard and Red Skirt went mad and rushed at the game character with great speed, and Han Fei watched helplessly as his character was taken down.

"The security guard is a normal NPC in the building, and it seems to have other meanings, so we can’t let him die so quickly."

Starting anew, Han Fei was now getting more and more proficient. He could compress the time to clear all the maps before to under an hour.

Zhuang Ren watched Han Fei’s agile handling and listened to the rapid clicking, completely stunned.

Han Fei had a terrifyingly good memory, and being very proficient by now, he even slowly memorized the sequence and number of key presses, not needing to look at the map much, just quickly tapping away.

Coming back to the security room, Han Fei didn’t say a word and rushed into the bathroom to take down Red Skirt.

After getting hit by the sleep-and-die Death Curse, he held Red Skirt and ran out of the security room, then he headed straight for the first floor.

He let Red Skirt take down Delivery Ghost first, brushing up the affection and then casually carrying the takeaway courier’s corpse box, taking Red Skirt upstairs.

He traded the deliveryman’s takeaway box with the merchant, and once the merchant, content with the takeaway box containing Red Skirt, happily went back to his home, Han Fei controlled the game character to wait in the corridor.

Not long after, just when Han Fei thought the merchant would be killed, the door of his house was opened, and the merchant escaped.

Upon entering the merchant’s room, Han Fei stuffed all the items he could into the delivery box, and then he put those paper money into a room in Deep World that he hadn’t entered.

People die for money, birds die for food. When the merchant sneaked back and discovered his hoarded wealth had been stuffed into another room, the miser begrudgingly tried to find ways to enter those rooms, continuously provoking various Ghosts and Monsters. Meanwhile, Han Fei controlled the game character to follow behind, making sure to memorize each room’s layout and the people within them.
