“No one can kill the Evil God. If someone could, then he’d be the new God.” Ji Zheng hoped Han Fei could abandon his wishful thinking. The human pillar was the center of the skyscraper. The garden owner wouldn’t let anyone destroy it. “No one will be able to get to the floor above 50. That’s the rules.”
“Aren’t we here to create new rules?”
Other than Big Sin, no one had faith in Han Fei. Everyone stayed away from the human pillar.
“There’s something Big Sin wants inside the human pillar. Part of the altar might be inside the innocent victims. The death of the innocents builds up the sins of these people.” Han Fei held Rest in Peace and touched the human pillar. The innocent victims bit at him. Their bodies were bound together. The pillar started to slant. “Even Rest in Peace won’t harm you, but you’d bite me?”
There was no kindness in the skyscraper. The best way to prevent oneself from being harmed was to harm others first. The best example was Big Sin. It attacked the human pillar immediately. However, everyone could see the consequence. Big Sin was so tough that even God couldn’t injure it, but now its black blood had almost dyed the human pillar.
The kindness of these victims was transmuted into malice. Over the years, Han Fei was the only exception. Rest in Peace wouldn’t harm the innocent. It avoided the innocent and only attacked the gaps. Even someone with the best knife skills couldn’t shave away the stonework without harming the victims, but Han Fei had done it. He didn’t injure the victims. The sharp butcher’s knife had no murderous aura. The sharpest knife in the sinner’s eyes was like a star in the victim’s eyes. Big Sin stopped attacking the human pillar. The others stayed away as well. Only Han Fei used his hand to touch the human pillar.
Han Fei didn’t know how to help these souls, so he used Soul-depth Touch to ask them directly. Endless resentment surged to Han Fei’s brain through his arm. The whirlpool threatened to consume Han Fei.
Li Rou moved forward to help Han Fei, but she was stopped by Ji Zheng. He shook his head and handed a picture he had taken to Li Rou. In the blurry picture, Han Fei took out the flame from his heart and lit the way for the endless souls. The victims inside the human pillar ignored all kinds of defense. They bit on Han Fei’s soul and consciousness. Han Fei was slowly dragged into the human pillar. Big Sin circled around Han Fei. It wanted to drag Han Fei out, but it was afraid of tearing Han Fei apart.
“Stay guard outside! They want to let me see the source of the pain!” Han Fei was not a reckless person. When he touched the human pillar, he knew their secrets. The victims’ souls were trapped here because God turned them into black cloth to cover up the altar. Innocence was used to cover up God’s dark and dirty heart.
The victims’ consciousness was all over the place. Their message was convoluted. To get a clearer picture, Han Fei did something crazy. He silently released the souls inside Rest in Peace. The kindest souls in the world melted into the human pillar. As they comforted the innocent victims, they opened up a relatively safe path for Han Fei.
Han Fei was swallowed by the human pillar in the blink of an eye. His body was crushed by endless body parts.
From the outside, the human pillar didn’t look big, but it was a totally different dimension inside. There were dead bodies everywhere. With the help of Rest in Peace, Han Fei slowly sank to the center of the human pillar. He saw the core of the skyscraper. It was a figurine wrapped in broken body parts. It was the strangest figurine Han Fei had ever seen. Half of the figurine was made of stone, and the other half was made of flesh!
The figurine looked very human. It was seated, and its face was blurred. It held two identical flowers in its hands.
“The skyscraper is a giant altar. Does this mean I’ve found God’s figurine?” The human pillar was the key to keeping the skyscraper upright. The tenants here knew the pillar was built by God. However, no one knew God had hidden one of his figurines inside the pillar. Han Fei gripped Rest in Peace as he looked at the figurine. He reached towards it. “I don’t care what you are. I’ll chop you up first!”
Han Fei was very weak, but Rest in Peace was a Grade D unique item. It could even injure Pure Hatreds. Han Fei wouldn’t let go of this opportunity. The blade cut through the flesh as Han Fei approached the figurine. At that moment, the figurine suddenly opened its eyes!
“The figurine has come alive?!” In an instant, Han Fei felt soaked in cold water. His soul was frozen. He had not seen such a pair of eyes before. It was dark, deep, and unfathomable. The left eye was like the night sky, and the right eye the abyss. It had no humanity but eyes that could see through everything.
A flower petal fell from the figurine’s hand. All the bodies were dyed red. Han Fei was enclosed within a special space. He couldn’t even open his menu. This was the real cryptic world.
With just a gaze, Han Fei had lost all power of resistance. The souls were swallowed by blood. Everything was silent. Han Fei could feel his heart stopping. With the eyes watching him, Han Fei felt so worthless. The pure darkness easily consumed his determination and hope. Han Fei was being sucked into the eyes, falling into the dark abyss. “Is this the power of the Unmentionable?” The sense of vertigo intensified. Han Fei’s brain started to collapse until the Red Orphanage appeared. The maddening laughter awakened Han Fei. All the memories were torn apart, giving them an intense chill. Only one image remained. The sun was rising. The warm light pierced through the darkness, shining on a new day. The memory Li Xue’s teacher had given Han Fei chased away the cold and darkness. Han Fei’s memory was melting from the ice.
When Han Fei reopened his eyes, he was facing the figurine. The figurine wanted to raise its arm, but it was bound by a black chain written with sins!
“The Butterfly case, the Feng Shui case, the Ghost eye case, the Fu Family Haunted House case, the arson case… This is Li Xue’s teacher’s chain!” The scariest Night Police was fighting the power left behind by God alone, so God didn’t have time to deal with Han Fei. “I’ve received the best present.”
Madness, pain, and despair flooded out of the Red Orphanage and washed over Han Fei;’s soul. Han Fei aimed the blade at the figurine’s neck!
The flower petals fell as a bloody wound appeared on the figurine’s neck. A crisp sound echoed inside Han Fei’s soul. Rest in Peace was covered in cracks like it could break in the next second.
After losing two flower petals, the flowers were not as red as before. All the victims started to struggle, but it was pointless before God. The limbs engulfed Han Fei. The chain covered with sins dragged the figurine into the sea of death. The owner of the chain never wanted to survive. His best solution was to die with the figurine.
Han Fei’s ears buzzed. He felt someone pulling him from behind. He escaped from the red sea of death!
The human bodies fell out of the human pillar. Han Fei collapsed to the ground. Half of the ghost tattoo was gone. The red paper doll was heavily injured as it hugged the back of Han Fei’s waist. The figurine managed to pull Han Fei into the abyss with just a gaze. That was the power of the Unmentionable.
“When the Singer started to sing, all the ghosts who heard it would be affected. But the Singer’s power is so much weaker compared to the garden owner.” Big Sin bit Han Fei’s clothes, trying its best to pull Han Fei back. Mr. Mo and Ji Zheng ran over to check on Han Fei’s injuries. They shouted at Han Fei, but Han Fei couldn’t hear anything. He hadn’t recovered from the Unmentionable’s influence yet. He needed some time before his senses returned. Blood faded away, and Han Fei’s eyes focused. He looked at the cracked human pillar and the ceiling. The flesh and stone peeled off. There was a giant hole in the ceiling of the 49th floor. They could see what was happening on the 50th floor. The 50th floor, where normal citizens were not allowed to go, was made from human bodies. Every carcass wase tied with red threads and bound with soul bells. There was nothing living on this floor.
“You’ve done it!” Ji Zheng shook Han Fei’s shoulders. “But the floors above 50 seem to be different from what we imagined.”
“Are you sure we’re going up?” Mr. Mo wrote a few characters on Han Fei to heal him.
“We have no reason not to.” Han Fei looked at the hilt he was holding. “Also, I just saw God.”
“You saw him?”
“Yes. I even cut him.” Han Fei thought back to what he had experienced earlier. “Come. Let’s keep moving.”
…
A stairwell door on the 25th floor shattered. Thousands of curses crawled into the corridor. A woman holding a dead ghost’s head appeared.
“His voice is calling.” The woman saw the power of the taboo gathering. She didn’t look afraid.
“I was just trying to see if my voice can affect the skyscraper since I’ve taken over 7 floors already.” The director was reformed. Evil Soul pulled the fate threads and appeared 10 meters away from the woman.
When the woman saw the director, she frowned. She tossed the head away and took out a table knife burning with black flame.
“His life’s dream is to be cut up and served on your dining table. I can verify that. He has imagined many times to be eaten by you. I hope you won’t mind that crazy soul’s passionate love!” The director retreated and pointed upward. “The thread of fate has been bound. Madam, the person you’re looking for is now looking for you.”
