Chapter 378: Chapter 378: The Sound in Room 4044

Hatred blazed like black fire, erupting from within and spreading throughout his entire body!

Using hatred, one must first endure the bone-deep pain, burning oneself before scorching the enemy.

As the Beheading Saber came down for the second time, the Old Ghost charged toward the Headless Door God with a speed far surpassing his previous attempts.

His deformed feet cracked the ground, and the Old Ghost, ablaze with black fire, neither dodged nor flinched. As the hatred severed the Blood Silk and formed the figure, the Beheading Saber also fell upon his shoulder.

The blade easily split the Soul Body, but it couldn’t sever the hatred in the Old Ghost’s heart completely.

Caught in the midst of hatred, the frenzied Old Ghost allowed the Beheading Saber to remain in his body, rapidly closing the distance!

The Soul of Evil had an almost instinctual combat intuition inside him; he seemed accustomed to close combat, even with power akin to true hatred.

The severed arms were reborn in hatred, and the hands filled with despair stabbed into the Headless Door God’s neck at the bowl-sized scar.

The Old Ghost laughed maniacally as he tore at the Gate God, whose descendants were trapped inside the Death Building, turned into monsters by the curse. Now all hope was shattered, leaving him nothing but slaughter and death.

"A flame of hatred?"

On the corridor, the Headless Door God and Old Ghost fought a battle to the death while suddenly, a surprised voice emerged from behind door 4044. Someone seemed to have been watching from behind the door all along: "The fires of hatred have started to burn; if this continues, the grudge may be completely ignited by hatred. Another flame of hatred means another variable for the Death Building."

The entire fourth-floor corridor was wrecked from the clash between the Headless Door God and the Old Ghost, but the door to room 4044 remained unchanged.

The voice from the room was very low. After speaking, footsteps were heard inside room 4044, then someone knocked on the door from the inside.

The Headless Door God, originally in combat with the Old Ghost, tightened the Blood Silk around him immediately upon hearing the knocks. The heads on the ground became fleshly muddled again, murmuring words no one could understand.

Normally, a fight between Evil Ghosts is undying and endless until one side is completely devoured by the other or the soul is scattered.

However, the Headless Door God was unlike any ordinary ghost. Upon hearing the knocking, he moved towards room 4044, despite suffering severe injuries.

The Old Ghost, controlled by the Soul of Evil, took this opportunity to inflict wounds on the Headless Door God, but unfortunately, the Door God was too close to room 4044.

Approaching the blood-red door, the Headless Door God abandoned all the heads in the corridor; as they exploded into a mist of blood, he returned to the door.

With half his face stained in blood, the Soul of Evil stared at the door of room 4044. He, too, had heard the whisper and the knocking during the fight, and now he was even more curious about room 4044.

"The more the number 4 appears in room numbers within the Death Building, the more dangerous they are. Does this room house something else?"

Blood Pearls dripped from his chin as the Soul of Evil, his arm blazing with hatred, smashed at the door of 4044, but the door remained immovable.

"Can you keep hiding forever?"

After the attack on the door proved futile, the furious Soul of Evil turned his attention to the rooms on both sides of 4044. He unleashed his full fury, nearly bursting through the walls of the neighboring rooms, yet unexpectedly, it seemed completely isolated from the Death Building. No matter what he did, he could not enter.

"Tsk."

His cold gaze fixed on the blood-red door, the Soul of Evil’s grin was already fierce, and now, coupled with the bloodstains on his cheeks, he looked like a devil crawling out of legend.

At 4:44 in the morning, the Manager’s soul returned. The Soul of Evil remembered this time well; he didn’t linger at the door of room 4044 for long but instead moved upstairs.

"Leave? I just have a better idea, old man, just stay still in your consciousness, and I will slaughter everything that obstructs!"

The few people tossed into the corner were re-locked onto his back, and the massive Old Ghost began to climb the building.

He cleared each floor one by one, feasting on the useful ghosts, and reached the fourteenth floor at great speed.

"Every door number has three 4s, what could be hiding in this room?"

Stepping on the ashes of the paper money, the Old Ghost climbed into room 4144, where Zhuang Ren’s wife and daughter lived, following the Soul Ladder.

There were no fierce ghosts as he had imagined, and the apartment was eerily normal.

This was just a typical home, but it was the enormous figure of the Old Ghost that seemed particularly out of place.

"Are they also performing soul-summoning? Who is Zhuang Ren? The name sounds so familiar; why can’t I remember? Could this family know me too?" Ever since he saw something in the woman and her Soul Chaser child, the Soul of Evil felt an intensifying sense of incompleteness and desperately wanted to know what he had forgotten.

Dragging a ghastly figure that would be dreadful even in a nightmare, the Soul of Evil opened a bedroom door, Zhuang Ren’s eldest daughter lay on the bed, seemingly having a nightmare, frowning and occasionally shouting words like daddy and help in her sleep talk.

"Daddy?" The hands of the Soul of Evil, tainted with the curse, hovered over the woman’s head, and the act of withdrawing them seemed to no longer bear any emotional pressure after the first time.

The Soul of Evil did not use his own hands to pierce the woman’s skull but instead turned and pushed open another bedroom door.

In the bedroom, a girl stood on tiptoes by the bed; her back was to the door, facing the wall, looking eerily peculiar.

As the head began to turn slowly, the Soul of Evil wanted to approach when suddenly a god statue rolled out from under the girl’s bed.

It was roughly the size of a palm, the god statue’s face was blurry, but one could vaguely make out it was smiling.

"4044 is the Gate God, 4144 is a god statue, this bunch of pitiable ghosts who can’t even reincarnate, what gods are they pretending to be here?"

With a single clap, the Soul of Evil smashed the god statue, a Little Ghost inside didn’t even show its face before it scattered into oblivion.

Only a note and a strand of hair, half white and half black, remained in the debris of the god statue.

The loud noise awakened everyone in the house. The master bedroom door opened, and Zhuang Ren’s wife looked towards the Soul of Evil with icy eyes, holding a Soul Bell in her hand.

The moment she saw the Soul of Evil, she rang the Soul Bell, and in the next moment, her body was shattered by the Soul of Evil.

Strangely, as her body disintegrated, her skin began to fade, and only scraps of paper remained on the floor.

This woman turned out to be a Paperman in disguise!

The Soul Bell fell to the ground and rolled next to the Soul of Evil.

Strange noises came from under Zhuang Ren’s younger daughter’s bed, and god statues opened their eyes, scrambling out from under her bed.

With a foot, he crushed the Soul Bell, the Soul of Evil focused on the surging wave of god statues and an idea popped into his mind, he intended to move all the god statues near room 4044, even if he destroyed them, he would do it near that room, he wanted to create chaos in those two rooms and kill all the "gods" of the two rooms.

"This thought comes so naturally, did I frequently do this sort of thing in the past?"
