Han Fei took the pictures from Ji Zheng. The first picture was taken in the elevator lobby. All the elevators appeared out of control. The doors kept opening and closing, emitting dead bodies. The second picture was taken on an unknown floor. The dead were possessed to kill Disciples and the locals. The third picture was a woman in red surrounded by endless curses.
“Where did you take thisst picture?” Han Fei’s eyes froze on thest picture. Even though the picture was blurry, Han Fei recognized her easily.
“The 49th floor. The woman is wrapped in death and curse. She appears to be looking for someone. She has been killing from floor 1 to floor 50.” Ji Zheng was scared by the woman. He didn’t even dare to get close to take a picture of her.
“Pure Hatreds from outside have entered the building, and God still hasn’t done anything?” Han Fei felt this was too abnormal. The skyscraper was the garden owner’sir. “It looks like the Unmentionable’s target is really the passage at the theme park.”
Han Fei waved at Mr. Mo for the man to take out the broken radio. “I wish tomunicate with the dancer. Can you help me?”
“Themunication can only go one way.” Mr. Mo sighed. “Plus, the number of times we can use this radio is limited. We need to cherish it.”
“This is very important.” Han Fei ced the radio before Big Sin’s head. “How did you manage to send messages outst time?” When the dancer contacted Han Fei, Big Sin used its curse to send out the message that Han Fei was mating crazily in the building. It was probably why the red Pure Hatred charged into the building. Big Siny on the ground with a sorry expression.
“Don’t y the victim. You’re the same as Shen Luo.” Han Fei said. With Han Fei’s urging, Big Sin injected the radio with Soul Poison. More cracks appeared on the radio. Mr. Mo was shocked, but he didn’t dare to say anything. A few minutester, static came from the radio. Then the dancer’s voice came out. “Why is my radio wet?”
“Be careful! That’s poison!”
Han Fei didn’t waste time. “Sir, I’ve already encountered Mr. Mo in the building. You need to inform the Pure Hatreds who areing to find me! Get them to return to the theme park tunnel now! The Unmentionable’s target might be the tunnel! They have to protect the altar at the theme park!”
“Tunnel? Theme park? What…” The call ended before the dancer could react. The radio was covered in Soul Poison. One had to wait some more before the radio could be used again. “Hopefully, the elder can pass my message on.” Han Fei had tried his best. He returned the radio to Mr. Mo and took out the red paper doll from his pocket. The paper doll was very excited. It was connected to Xu Qin. They could sense each other.
“Lead the way!” Han Fei needed to do two things. One was to find No. 2’s other brain fragments, and two was to reconnect with the Pure Hatred. One could only enter but not exit the skyscraper. Even Pure Hatreds wouldn’t attempt such a dangerous thing. After all, this was the Unmentionable’s territory. However, the Pure Hatred barged in without hesitation. They were already more than neighbors.
Evil Soul spread his influence over the first 50 floors. Han Fei led everyone into the bloody elevators. With the paper doll leading the way, they came to the 40th floor. When he exited the elevator, the familiar curses surrounded Han Fei. The food he ate daily was vored with this curse. “Xu Qin used her power on this floor.” Han Fei kicked away the trash in the corridor and checked every room. All the curses in the female tenants had been taken away. “There’s no survivor. She’s worried.”
“Worried? More like cruel.” Ji Zheng had no idea where he got to know these friends. None of them was normal.
“Come. We’ll keep on heading up!”
“Are you sure? Floors 40 to 50 are where the Dictators live. They’ve enved many monsters, and some of them are even God’s creations.” Ji Zheng reminded, “I’m not trying to stop you. I just want you to consider it.”
“Haven’t we already killed one Dictator?” Han Fei headed to the elevator booth. “We have no way back. Instead of cing hope on others, we should rely on ourselves to grab fate by its throat.”
The scent of blood was thick inside the booth. The 20-plus elevators had not stopped working. Living and dead creatures kept entering and leaving. The passengers knew they wouldn’t leave the elevators alive, but they all rushed to get into them. The people from above floor 50 wanted toe down to avoid the tragedy, and the people from below floor 50 wanted to go up for a better life. The number on the panel changed. When the red number became 49, the elevator stopped. The elevator cards Han Fei found didn’t have the privilege to go beyond that.
“What’s the difference between floors above 50 and below 50?” Han Fei exited the elevator while carrying the paper doll. Chilling curses gathered toward Han Fei. It was like a red hug.
“It represents two eras.” Mr. Mo stayed far away from Han Fei. “I heard from the dancer that the garden owner had split his life into two stages. They correspond to the floors below and above 50. As you can see, the floors below 50 are all dirty and poor. This represents the garden owner’s childhood.”
“Then, the floors above 50 are his adulthood?”
“Not really. It’s more urately…” Mr. Mo thought for a while, “They represent the garden owner’s memory after he became a ghost.”
“Memory after he became a ghost?”
“Even though the people below floor 50 are poor, dirty, and afflicted by diseases, they are still humans. The floors above 50 are luxurious and pretty. But that is just an illusion. Based on what the dancer said, the ce is crazy, absurd, and despairing. It’s a ce without normal emotions.” Mr. Mo lowered his voice. “This skyscraper is the garden owner’s whole life.”
“How can we enter the floors above 50?” Han Fei looked at the paper doll that was rapidly absorbing curses. He believed that Xu Qin had left behind many curses so that they could help Han Fei should hee here.
“There are three methods. You get the permission from God; Go through the Taboos in the stairwell; Open God’s altar.” Ji Zheng said, “I’ve been trying to get there, but I haven’t seeded. With your monster’s help, we should be able to get through the stairwell with a 30 percent chance of survival.”
“The stairwell is not the best open. Bring me to God’s altar.” Han Fei summoned Big Sin. It was so excited to be on the 49th floor.
“God’s altar only exists in legends. Other than the most pious Disciples, no one knows where it is. I even suspect it’s a scam.” Ji Zheng was about to persuade Han Fei to give up when Big Sin charged down a direction like crazy.
“Follow it!”
Xu Qin had just cleansed floor 49th so they didn’t run into much resistance. But when they moved, they noticed broken pieces of Xu Qin’s clothes. The Pure Hatred was injured when she was here. Han Fei picked up the pieces and moved faster. Big Sin led them on a spin before they came to a strange ce. At the center of Floor 49 was a pir more than 3 meters wide. This was something that didn’t exist on the other floors.
“A bearing wall?” Han Fei touched the giant pir. He gave Big Sin a look. Thetter understood it. It rammed into the pir! Even God’s consciousness couldn’t crack Big Sin’s shell, but after it rammed into the pir, a small crack appeared on its head. Soul Poison and ck blood stained the stone pir. Big Sin became more excited after it was injured. Big Sin was attracted by the thing inside the pir. It rammed into the pir again and again
“Is this okay?” Ji Zheng closed the boy’s eyes. “Should we stop it?”
“Even though I’m its owner, I can’t really stop it.” Han Fei’s Life Point still hadn’t recovered. More Soul Poison and ck blood covered the pir. Patterns appeared on the pir. There were wailing faces of endless victims. Their bodies were sealed inside the pir.
“We’ll attack it together!” Han Fei took out Rest in Peace and moved to the pir.
“Are you sure? God has ced this here…” Before Mr. Mo could finish, Han Fei shed the pir. The blinding light avoided the human faces. Cracks appeared beside the faces. Ji Zheng sucked in a cold breath. He looked at Han Fei and Big Sin, who had no fear of God. He couldn’t tell if the pet was mimicking the owner or the other way around. Ji Zheng and the rest really didn’t need to do anything. Rest in Peace, and Big Sin had severely damaged the surface of the pir. The two conflicting forces peeled back the ‘shell’ of the pir. The stonework fell away to reveal the true form of the pir. The victims’ bodies were twisted together to form a pir. This was not a stone pir. It was a human pir.
“Rest in Peace can’t injure these victims.” Han Fei stopped. Big Sin beside him was agitated. Its Soul Poison was stopped by something on the human pir. “Big Sin is only interested in God’s altar. The thing it’s looking for is inside the pir. The method to go to the floor above 50 should be hidden inside the pir too.” Han Fei knew Big Sin very well.
“This pir is built by God to be the skyscraper’s foundation. These innocent people are live sacrifices.” Mr. Mo’s eyes filled with pity and pain. “God has sacrificed so many people to build this skyscraper.”
“Is there a way for us to save these people?” Han Fei stood beside the human pir.
“Yes.” Mr. Mo looked at Han Feiplicatedly. “kill that Evil God.”
