“God is trying to turn the person with the strongest sense of justice into the most conflicting creation?” Han Fei had a feeling that the person involved was Li Xue’s teacher. “Yes. Night Police were all once Sin Seekers. Even though they are strong, there are few of them. Forbidden Night Police move only in specific zones, there is only a handful of Tragedy Night Police, and Night Police on the Night level only exist in legendary. If this kid is telling the truth, a new change is coming to the building.” Ji Zheng was a member of the Night Police too. “The Night is the darkness. Only just beneath God.”
The lights in the elevator lobby flickered. The numbers on the panels changed. The elevators kept sending dead bodies to the 25th floor. This scene was horrifying. The real cleansing had begun.
“Quick! We need to run and hide! We need to hide at a place that even God can’t reach! We need to hide inside the embrace of the Taboo! It’s better to die to the Taboo than to die to him!” The young Night Police screamed. His face was bloodied, but he didn’t appear to feel pain. Since Han Fei’s group didn’t move, he stood up and stumbled like a child learning how to walk as he moved toward Han Fei. “Run! Why aren’t you running!”
He took two steps out of the elevator when his head exploded.
“What kind of power is this? Curses? Pure Hatreds?” The boy’s head appeared to be caught in a trap. No matter where he had escaped to, when the culprit wanted his life, the boy’s head would explode.
“Clean up the booths. Don’t let the elevators stay on this floor for too long.” Han Fei stood among the pool of blood. He was not affected too much.
“The people above floor 50 have noticed the changes here. God hasn’t awakened. The False God’s dogs are coming over, but they must have run into God’s newest and strongest creation.” Ji Zheng looked at the dead bodies. “You’re lucky.”
“This isn’t luck.” Han Fei had Li Rou suck the Night Police’s blood. He turned to the director. “If no one interrupted them, could we have dealt with these Night Police?” “We’ll kill everyone who comes, including God.” Evil Soul opened his arms. The whiskers of the soul crawled out of the director’s body and seeped into the carcasses of the Night Police. Their names and power flowed into the director. “Where’s your blade? Only you can cleanse the tainted justice in their hearts. Help them.” The blade shone. It cut through the shell of sin, and the once clean souls entered Rest in Peace.
“Every Night Police was once a Sin Seeker, but we’ve fallen to become the people we hate the most. If I have the chance to see my kid, I need you to help me too.” Ji Zheng looked at Han Fei’s blade. “I want to be my kid’s hero and live like that in his memory.”
“It’s too early to say that.” After Han Fei cleaned away all the bloodstains, he stood before the elevator door. “The Calamity Ghost on the sixth floor has killed a lot of Disciples. We’ve stolen No. 2’s brain fragment on the 25th floor. God should be rampaging.”
“Should we try to hide?” Sister Hong was worried.
“No. We need to keep on pushing.” Han Fei would only smile kindly when he wanted to kill. “We need to find the other brain fragments of No. 2. When the six Pure Hatreds arrive, we will cooperate with them to cleanse the whole building.” The even voice was ripe with murderous intent. Ji Zheng and Sister Hong saw Han Fei’s other side. This young man crawled out of a pit of ghosts and slowly ascended the skyscraper. There was a reason he became the manager of Ziggurat and the theme park.
“Sins should be cleansed. Isn’t that the norm?”
The blood in the elevators had been ‘consumed’ by the elevators. Han Fei raised his head. If the Night level police member was really Li Xue’s teacher, didn’t that mean that he was killed yesterday night? Before entering the game, Han Fei spent a day in the case file room with the elder. Back then, he already thought something was off about the elder. The elder even gave Han Fei Fu Sheng’s bracelet. “Everything is planned.” Han Fei held Big Sin by its head and entered the elevator. Ji Zheng, Li Rou and Mr. Mo followed. The Evil Soul controlled the Taboo and had it grow upstairs. If it was halted, Han Fei and the others would clear the way. “We can handle everyone below the level of Pure Hatreds.”
The elevator doors slowly opened. The building’s darkest and cruelest night was starting. The number on the panel turned to 26. The door opened.
“Due to its proximity to the 25th floor, most residents on this floor are here to explore the Taboo’s secret. If one destroys the Taboo, one can gain God’s favor. However, some of them are good people. You need to be careful!” Ji Zheng took out his camera and checked the fate threads of everyone. His camera lens was red.
“I will not kill anyone innocent but I will spare no sinners.” Han Fei exited the elevator. Evil Soul was on the same wavelength as Han Fei. The director spread the Taboo!
Spikes formed from blood and flesh pierced through the ground. The director had absorbed all the Night Police. Arms reached out of the floor to grab everyone on the 26th floor. With each of Han Fei’s steps, the blood spikes would spread further. “Guard the elevator, don’t let anyone escape.”
Han Fei activated the ghost tattoo and walked down the corridor. “The victims have become toys for the killers. This wrong era needs to be corrected.” With a roar, Big Sin’s misfortune spread everywhere. Han Fei wanted to consume more floors before the other citizens caught up to him. When the Pure Hatreds in the building came, he would have Evil Soul deal with him. The theme park altar had been absorbing Han Fei’s Life Points. He needed more sacrifice to sustain the altar. “Quick! Follow up!” Han Fei opened the doors. He was Evil Soul’s eyes. He led the way for the Taboo and used Rest in Peace to shear through sin. He used half an hour to clean the 26th floor.
“This floor is a buffer zone. The managers have basically given up on the 26th and 24th floor.” Ji Zheng saw as the flesh contaminated the wall. He knew Han Fei was crazy, but he didn’t expect him to go against God. If the Skyscraper was the garden owner’s altar, Han Fei was using No. 2’s power to contaminate it. The floor was red like blood. Ji Zheng felt no fear. When Han Fei murdered those killers, he also saved the tortured victims. Be it people who only had one breath left or human collectibles or even Sustenance, Han Fei would save any victim they came across. Even if Han Fei was the devil, who would hate him? At least, Ji Zheng couldn’t.
“Notification for Player 0000! Special citizen, Li Rou’s mutation level has reached 70 percent. She is now considered dangerous!”
Li Rou was rapidly getting stronger by absorbing all the blood of the sinners. She became prettier and less alive. She looked more like a carved dead body. Li Rou was already physically stronger than Nine Lives, and she was only a half Deviant. If she triggered all the sins in her body, she would become stronger, but she would also become a monster. Her beauty would turn into ugliness.
“Sister Hong, I’ve dealt with the injuries of these victims. Please help accommodate them.” Han Fei looked at the killers being consumed by the director’s flesh-eating walls. The walls of the 26th floor were slowly becoming more like the 25th floor.
“It’s time to go to the 27th floor.” The elevator had been sealed. Evil Soul was guarding the stairwell so not many could go that way.
“The 27th to the 30th floors are the breeding floors. The three floors are used to rear and collect special items from all the floors below 30.” Ji Zheng knew he couldn’t stop Han Fei, so he joined him.
“Breeding floors?” “You’ve heard of Sustenance, right? I bet you haven’t seen much of them. The few we’ve seen are the worst quality ones. The best Sustenance needs specific people to cultivate them. The best Sustenance is incredibly delicious and needs to be raised in a specific environment.” Ji Zheng sighed. “The Feast Day is coming. If you destroy the Breeding Floors now, you’ll be targeted by all the forces. I suggest you examine the three floors before making any decisions.”
“Let’s go up.” Han Fei gained contact with Evil Soul. The blood and flesh continued to spread. They entered the elevator again. They came to the 27th floor. Instead of a Rusted Stair member, there was a Blind Merchant waiting for them. Different from most Merchants who were thin and malnourished, this one was fat and fair. Even though he was blind, he always had a smile.
“You must have come from the lower floors. You smell heavily of blood. I’m sure you have a lot of treasures on you.” The fat merchant leaned close to Han Fei with a smile. However, before he could say anything else, he felt a prickle on his neck. It was like a knife was pressed against his shoulders.
“Explain to me. What do you mean by treasures?”
“They are better stock or have particular personalities. Some customers like little princesses. They are raised in the greenhouse and are very supple…” The Blind Merchant’s voice trembled as the pain in his neck grew.
“So you’re talking about people.” Han Fei cut off the fat head. It rolled and stopped at the corner. “Before Rest in Peace got close, your neck fell. How many people you’ve killed?”
Han Fei pushed the dead merchant away. He walked out of the elevator.
The 27th floor was separated into different zones to cultivate different Sustenance. The victims here had no names but codes and numbers.
Normal Sustenance wouldn’t sell for much, but some sustenance would fetch a good price. These included pretty, living humans and Sin Seekers who hadn’t fallen.
