Chapter 795: Chapter 795: This Is My Area of Expertise!

"One of the children abducted from the Blood-colored Orphanage?"

Upon hearing the system’s prompt, Han Fei’s eyes gradually widened. He had only intended to casually identify the child using the system’s ability, but he hadn’t expected to encounter such a "Big Fish."

He had once heard something from his teacher Li Xue, that the Garden Owner had mentioned the children in the Blood-colored Orphanage. The exact words were—Did all thirty children in the Orphanage die? Has no one noticed anything unusual?

The emergence of the Fear Disaster Ghost once again proved that the Garden Owner was connected to the children in the Blood-colored Welfare Home. It was possible that the Garden Owner had orchestrated the "Blood-colored Night," Kuangxiao’s most painful memory.

"Ji Zheng, are there many Disaster Ghosts and Taboos like this child inside the building? What are my chances of survival if I go to meet them?" Han Fei’s idea was simple; since Disaster Ghosts and Taboos are the things Divine Spirits despise the most, then he should go and meet more of them, brainstorming ways together to destroy the foundation of Divine Spirit worship.

"Are those the words of a living person? To actively seek out Taboos and Disaster Ghosts?" Ji Zheng shook his head repeatedly. Even this night watchman, who feared nothing and had become numb to everything, thought Han Fei was too bold.

"Is it not possible?"

"Because all who have seen them have died, that’s why they are referred to as Taboos." Ji Zheng spread his hands in resignation, his earlier concern that Han Fei might refuse to accept the little boy now seemed completely unnecessary.

"I understand, it seems people have misunderstood them, the so-called Taboos are just terms the residents of the building came up with out of fear of the unknown," Han Fei became even more convinced of his idea.

"Think what you want," Ji Zheng said, stretching his hands behind his head, clutching it, and walking towards the elevator. "I’m not trying to dampen your spirits, but the reason we can mess around inside the building without any issues is that the Pseudo-god is still in deep slumber. Once he awakens, every spark of rebellion in the building will be instantly extinguished."

"You’re calling him Pseudo-god yourself, why worry so much?" Han Fei had killed Butterfly in the Death Building, and he felt that the Garden Owner was probably like the Butterfly, constantly trying to influence reality in some way, and when he intervened in reality, the essence of the Deep World might fall into dormancy.

"The conflict and opposition are more intense than I imagined. These ghosts of the Deep World have been suppressed for too long, they’re meticulous in their efforts to merge the Deep World with reality."

The Garden Owner’s influence was behind all three major crime organizations in Xinhu. It was this Unspeakable presence that allowed the perverted madmen outside the cocoon to resist the Xinhu Police for so long.

Taking the elevator back to the fifteenth floor, Han Fei led everyone to meet with the victims of the fifteenth floor’s Ghost Card Case.

"We can’t go to the sixth floor for now, we’ll go back to other floors next. Do you have any suggestions?" Han Fei was not very familiar with the skyscraper, so he wanted to hear what everyone else thought.

The survivors on the fifteenth floor were disheartened to hear that the sixth floor was destroyed, feeling uncomfortable. They had been disappointed too many times and worried that this time would be the same as before.

"Sister... you’re so beautiful." While both groups dared not get close to each other, amidst the quiet, Zangzang suddenly spoke up.

He had somehow made his way to Li Rou’s side and began to praise her with his innocent voice.

In terms of appearance, Li Rou was far from matching Sister Hong, but Zangzang seemed to have a "particular fondness" for Li Rou.

Half-deformed Ghost Li Rou received a compliment for the first time and did not know how to respond, feeling a bit panicked.

"Sorry, he’s not usually like this," Zhang Xiaowei tried to pick Zangzang up to bring him back, but Zangzang pointed at Li Rou and repeated, "Sister has a white soul, black blood, and colorful emotions. She’s like someone who has stepped out of a painting."

"Zangzang, can you see any abnormalities in this sister’s soul?" Han Fei also found it a bit strange, recalling that when he first met Zangzang, the child had ventured alone deep into the Grave House, seemingly unafraid of the Mutant Ghosts.

It seemed that he could no longer conceal it, so Zangzang’s father finally spoke up: "My child is quite special, those Mutant Ghosts who kill without blinking always ignore his presence, so sometimes when we go into the Grave House to look for things, we bring him along."

Zangzang’s ability was extremely useful inside the Skyscraper, as the number of Grave Houses within was growing, and many hid a vast amount of valuable things. With Zangzang leading the way, exploring the Grave Houses was no longer a problem.

"I can understand why you didn’t tell me directly, it’s okay." Han Fei checked the number of people, then turned to Ji Zheng and the Gambling House’s Fat Dog: "You two must have been through many floors, if we want to occupy one of them, which floor do you think is the best choice?"

Fat Dog, seeing the ambition burning in Han Fei’s eyes, didn’t dare to speak, whereas Ji Zheng indifferently said, "All the floors are the same, but if you’re simply trying to avoid the believers, then I suggest you choose the twenty-fifth floor."

"Why go there?" Han Fei remembered that the Ghost Card Case mission also required him to go to the twenty-fifth floor.

"There’s a Taboo on the twenty-fifth floor, all residents who worship the Pseudo-gods must die." Ji Zheng said with a cruel smile on his lips: "The believers dare not enter the twenty-fifth floor, so it has also become a Paradise for Night Watchmen, Death Duty, and various psychopathic monsters."

"Cough cough, how about we choose another floor?" Li Shisong was a bit scared; he had to consider the safety of everyone.

"Then let’s go to the thirty-fifth floor, that level is also treated like a trash heap, littered with Grave Houses and contaminated Monsters, but there is a safe zone. As long as you have enough money, safety can at least be assured." Ji Zheng seemed very keen to go to the twenty-fifth floor, probably worried that the Disaster Ghost boy would be discovered by other believers.

"We two can survive on the twenty-fifth floor, but I’m afraid they can’t." Han Fei seriously pondered for a moment. To gain basic freedom, they had to shake off the interference of the believers, so the twenty-fifth floor was the most suitable.

"You can first take them to the twenty-fourth floor, I know a Blind Merchant who can temporarily take care of these infected wretches for you." Ji Zheng spoke without an ounce of sympathy, not knowing that Han Fei’s Rebirth Slaughter Saber could help everyone get treatment: "Once a few of us have built a safe zone on the twenty-fifth floor, you can bring them up. Just one floor difference, they can go up the stairs."

"Alright, that’s the plan." The fifteenth floor had been purged by the Ghost Gate Blood Shadow, and Han Fei hoped to create the illusion that all residents were killed, as the victims he had hidden might be able to help him in the future.

They entered the elevator in batches, using two elevator cards, it took half an hour to safely transport everyone to the twenty-fourth floor.

The twenty-fourth floor was adjacent to the highly dangerous twenty-fifth floor, used as a Buffer Zone, with no permanent residents, only some merchants with nothing to lose and the "Madmen" preparing to enter the twenty-fifth floor.

After spending a substantial amount of Bone Coins, Han Fei arranged the Ghost Card Case Survivors, he, Ji Zheng, Li Rou, and Mr. Mo prepared to head to the twenty-fifth floor together.

"After we arrive upstairs, try not to cause trouble. First, find the room with the character for ’life’ carved on the door. If you really can’t avoid conflict, make it quick and decisive. The longer it drags on, the more Monsters will gather." Ji Zheng stood at the entrance of the elevator, holding Disaster Ghost’s hand, seriously advising, "I should tell you in advance, if any of you is in danger, I can help within my abilities, but if I perceive the situation as irredeemable, I will abandon you. I hope you can do the same, to survive to the greatest extent, and not be tied down by useless emotions."

"Is there anything else we should be aware of?"

"The twenty-fifth floor is one of the most terrifying among the bottom fifty floors, I hope we can all find the safe zone alive." Ji Zheng’s mouth slightly opened, then he added, "If there really is a safe zone..."

Entering the elevator, when they selected the twenty-fifth floor, the numbers on the elevator’s display turned red, and a crack appeared on the special elevator card, as if the Divine Spirits didn’t want anyone entering the twenty-fifth floor.

Silently waiting, the moment the elevator doors opened, Ji Zheng raised his camera and took a photo of the entrance: "I see three severed threads of fate, and a streak of Blood Shadow five meters to the left! It knows it’s been discovered and is moving away."

Three seconds later, Ji Zheng led the Disaster Ghost swiftly down the corridor to the right of the elevator: "Follow me!"

Upon reaching the twenty-fifth floor, Han Fei found it to be quite ordinary, except for the indoor lighting that flickered on and off as if the voltage was very unstable.

"The next corner is hiding murderous intent! Take the other side!" Ji Zheng’s ability was extremely powerful; he could look into fate through his camera, even giving him a sense of what would happen in the next few seconds.

Under his lead, Han Fei smoothly left the elevator area without any conflict.

"Through this corridor! Quick! Something is chasing us from behind! It should appear at the corner in five seconds!"

Running at full speed, they anxiously glanced at the room doors along the corridor walls; those doors looked utterly ordinary, without any mention of fate, as Ji Zheng had described.

Constantly chased by unknown enemies, Ji Zheng was pushing his limits to avoid confrontation just by seconds.

Then, after a few minutes of this flight, something unexpected happened.

Disaster Ghost paused when passing a room marked with a cartoon icon, and the child wearing the Welfare Home jacket reached for the door.

Without warning, the door, which had been shut, suddenly opened and a thin, dry hand reached out, gripping Disaster Ghost firmly.

Disaster Ghost, who only allowed Ji Zheng to touch him, didn’t go berserk this time; he gazed at the dense array of needle marks on the arm that looked eerily like his former self in a trance.

"Damn!"

It was this two-second pause that triggered a chain reaction, causing the ghosts that blocked their path and the Monster chasing them to appear at once and corner Han Fei and his group in the alley.

"We need to be quick and decisive! Don’t drag it out!" Ji Zheng shouted, fraught with tension.

At first, Han Fei didn’t understand why; with their strength, dealing with ordinary Ghost and Monster was not a problem, but his expression changed in a matter of seconds.

As the Monster approached, the lights above them went out.

Plunged into darkness, the corridor seemed like a different place: the walls flipped inside out, the floor looked like sliced open human skin, and a surge of blood, rotten flesh, and unnameable insects spilled forth.

"The entire twenty-fifth floor is enveloped by Taboo! The flickering lights are the Taboo struggling with the Pseudo-god for control of the floor! When the smell of blood spreads, the Taboo will come!"

Ji Zheng wanted to protect Disaster Ghost, to prevent the child from losing control again, but the child was pulled away by the hand inside the room.

Without a second thought, Ji Zheng rushed in after him. The journalist, who usually appeared very cool but had immense inner righteousness, still made an impulsive decision at a critical moment.

Mr. Mo, who was closest, hurriedly approached, but as soon as the two entered, the wall, which seemed like living flesh, covered the door at incredible speed.

"Can the terrain change at will?"

Han Fei drew the Rebirth Saber and hacked at where the door had been, blood splattering everywhere, but beneath the blood and flesh, there was no door to be found.

At the same time, a creepy laughter echoed behind Han Fei as a sharp scalpel sliced through Cat Ghost’s body.

"Quite the tight defense, aren’t you?" A severely hunchbacked man stood in the middle of the road, dressed in a "pure black" lab coat, with a forked tongue like a snake, and a large birthmark on his face: "Your friends seem to have abandoned you, how pitiful. Why don’t you stop resisting and come back with me obediently?"

"I’ll go back with you, but first you have to tell me, what exactly are you?" Han Fei swept a glance behind him with his peripheral vision and saw a deformed man whose arms and legs were of equal length crawling out from the other end of the corridor, able to merge with the walls and appear and disappear unpredictably, making him very hard to guard against.

"I am an old freeter with no job, but I do have a very special hobby." The hunchbacked man’s eyeballs bulged out, staring at Han Fei with great excitement: "I love to slaughter things that move; the more they struggle in pain, the happier I am!"

The man licked the corner of his mouth with his deformed tongue: "I will never forget the expression on my adoptive parents’ faces; they struggled so much to raise me, having no idea they would end up like this! The non-stop cursing, begging for mercy, screaming, ha ha ha ha! It’s too thrilling!"

The hunchbacked man suddenly sprinted forward, picking up speed, babbling something to himself as he ran.

Nine-life tried to stop him, but the man’s body twisted like a snake, and Han Fei only saw a shadow flash by as the hunchbacked man swapped places with his own shadow.

The sharp blade aimed at Han Fei’s back, and he had not anticipated his opponent having this ability!

With his heart in his throat, a mere graze would result in Han Fei’s instant death.

Throwing himself forward with all his might, the Blood-colored Paperman in his arms met the blade, lifting its blood-stained arm towards the tip of the knife.

The sharp blade was wrapped in Grudge Energy and Curses, stabbing into the Paperman’s body and slicing open Han Fei’s coat.

Tumbling forward, Han Fei’s body was drenched in cold sweat, and as soon as he hit the ground, he quickly swallowed a prepared Pig Heart.

On the verge of death, Han Fei nearly met his end at the hands of this unknown psychopath.

"Good, very good."

His heart pounding wildly nearly to the point of death, the adrenaline turned Han Fei’s eyes blood-red, and since he was only a drop of blood away from death, he always carried out tasks with extreme caution; but the recent encounter made him change his mind.

"Are you praising me?" The hunchbacked man’s gaze became even more disgusting.

"I’m not commending you, I just want to share a life lesson with you." Han Fei tightened his grip on the Rebirth Slaughter Saber: "Never use your own hobbies to challenge someone else’s profession!"

The ferocious Big Evil emerged from the Ghost Pattern, crashing through two nearby corridors, both man and ghost madly charging at the hunchbacked man!
