Chapter 784: An Order

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

This was the first time Han Fei had seen such a depraved place in the cryptic world. The other places had cruel ghosts, but this skyscraper corrupted one’s soul. The deep side and outer side of Red Alley were two completely different worlds. Under the red light, every ‘client’ who came here shed their disguises and allowed their inner demons to come out. They came here to satisfy their perversion. The men and women trapped inside the rooms were less than toys.

Even though this place was disgusting, it had a redeeming value. The place was fair. After the clients lost everything, they would become the new ‘toys’. That were the rules of Red Alley.

Walking down the moldy collision, the smell in the air agitated the soul. Just the sounds coming out of the rooms on both sides could scar one’s soul. Sister Hong didn’t dare to lift her head. She gritted her teeth and moved forward. They took a long time to walk down the corridor around 30 meters long. The blood was dried on the ground. Strange red plants grew out of it. They looked like fingers reaching out of bloody mud.

“The tobacco used in the blood cigarette is grown by the owner of Red Alley. Everyone on this floor smokes it. But only he knows how to make them.” Sister Hong looked at the blood-red door at the end of the corridor. Ambitions, hatred, and fear mixed in her eyes. “The Disciples hate coming here, so we have plenty of time.”

“Leave this to me.” Han Fei only had one Life Point, but he didn’t hesitate. Han Fei touched the ghost tattoo and summoned Nine Lives. A monster with a cat face crawled out of the ghost tattoo. After being in Fu Sheng’s memory altar, Nine Lives was no longer hostile toward Han Fei.

“Open the door.” The paw covered in sutures pushed open the red door. Sticky blood leaked out through the gap. The blood cigarette couldn’t even cover up the smell of blood. Han Fei and Sister Hong glanced into the room. The spacious living room was stuffed with various tools. The walls hung with clothes sewn from human skin. The bloody ground was growing with strange brownish-red things. It was hard to tell if they were animals or plants. Han Fei covered his nose and grabbed a ball of shadow from his ghost tattoo. He tossed it into the room with Nine Lives. After making sure there was no trap, Han Fei walked to the middle of the living room. He glanced inside the bedroom. The luxuriously-decorated bedroom had a giant mirror. A woman around 2 meters tall was combing her hair as she sat before the mirror. The woman kept her head lowered. Her skin was fair and flawless. She had amazing proportions. She was a beauty.

“Is she the owner of Red Alley?”

The door suddenly closed on its own. The bloody mud on the ground suddenly moved. The woman before the mirror slowly turned around. Under the perfect skin was a rotten, pockmarked face.

“Who allowed you to come in here?” A man’s voice came from the perfect face. When he spoke, the skin on the face pulled apart. The vicious eyes swept over the elder and Nine Lives before they landed on Han Fei. “Such perfect skin. But I hate handsome men!”

Lapidarist had a negative effect on the Red Alley owner. He attacked Han Fei instantly. The monster was extremely fast. Han Fei only saw a flash of white, and five slender fingers appeared before him. The milky-white skin started to unravel near the fingers to reveal the rotten phalanges underneath.

“How can he move so fast?” Han Fei already had maximum buff from Dawn Butcher, but he was still too slow. Thankfully, he was careful and prepared before he entered the room. Nine Lives and Xu Qin’s pet protected him. The Red Alley owner didn’t even realize that the shadow around Han Fei was slightly different from normal. Just as he was about to pierce Han Fei’s head, a black snake bit his arm.

“Rest in Peace!” Normal players would leave the game when they had one Life Point, but Han Fei was a special player. The blade shone and chased away the haze of blood cigarettes. Han Fei aimed at the owner’s neck!

The black blood splattered everywhere. The owner’s perfect head rolled to the ground. Everything happened so quickly. Even the elder and Sister Hong were shocked. They thought Han Fei was more like a beast tamer, but he just proved that he was very good in a fight too. From their perspective, Han Fei had a handle on everything. Even when the threat was right before him, he didn’t panic.

“The system didn’t say anything.” Han Fei quickly retreated and warned the elder and Sister Hong, “The monster is not dead yet!”

Black blood poured out of the owner’s beck. The headless body stood there before the stump started to crack. The perfect human skin slowly peeled off to reveal the ugly and dirty man inside.

“Retreat now!” Han Fei shouted. Sister Hong and the elder thought Han Fei sensed danger, but what they saw next shocked them. A terrifying creature about 5 meters large crawled out of the ghost tattoo. The walls of the living room collapsed. The monster bit the Red Alley owner, who was still mutating. Han Fei knew that the owner had to have some special power to control Red Alley. He wouldn’t give the man the opportunity to use it. The owner also didn’t expect a giant creature would crawl out of the thin-looking young man. He wanted to resist, but it was already too late. Big Sin bit his body. Soul Poison corrupted his soul. Nine Lives was a smokescreen, Xu Qin’s pet was insurance, and the real killer was Big Sin. The owner wailed in pain. Even Sister Hong felt uncomfortable. The Red Alley Owner was hard to kill. No one knew how to deliver a fatal blow, and no one knew what he had done to his body. However, Big Sin didn’t have this concern. It planned to eat the owner whole. About ten seconds later, only a pool of black blood remained. Big Sin’s stomach was bulging. Xu Qin’s pet looked at Big Sin. It wanted to get closer, but it was scared.

“Is he dead?” As if to answer Sister Hong, Big Sin opened its mouth and burped out a tattered human skin. On its back, another name appeared beside Zhu Wu, Chang Mazi. Big Sin appeared to have gotten stronger.

“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve killed the ghost tailor and ruined his new clothes! There’s one more step to complete the mission. You need to fix the new clothes!”

Han Fei picked up the ‘clothes’ and entered the ghost tailor’s bedroom. This was once his daughter’s room. It looked normal on the surface, but it hid many secrets. The tailor had modified the bed and closet so that he could be a Peeping Tom. Han Fei found a small wooden box inside the vanity drawer. There was a diary inside. The adopted daughter noticed what the tailor had done. However, the tailor only became worse after he was discovered. After he turned his daughter into clothes, he started to collect her diaries to live through them. “What a crazy man!”

Han Fei found the new clothes design and various tools in the drawer. Han Fei also found a strange order book and several bottles filled with brownish-red liquid in the compartment under the wooden bed.

“The ghost tailor kept the coins and his daughter’s diary in the drawer but kept these things in the hidden compartment. These things are more important than money and his daughter.”

A wilted flower was painted on the cover of the order form. It looked like the symbol of the Death chat Group. The content of the order form was crazy too. Someone wanted the ghost tailor to make the most beautiful clothes using 100 pieces of female victim skin. There was no time limit. The down payment was those several bottles.

“The bottles are not filled with alcohol but small worms and the blood of Disciples.” Sister Hong immediately stopped Han Fei when she saw Han Fei try to open the bottle. “Blood cigarettes are made from these things and dead bodies. They are illegal items. If the Disciples see them, we’ll be in big trouble.”

“Isn’t this building the territory of God? Who would attack his Disciples?”

“To satisfy their inner evil, people would do anything.” Sister Hong stared at the bottles under the bed. Greed flashed in her eyes. “These blood bottles can help us better control the Red Alley.”

“Is your goal limited to just Red Alley?” Han Fei tossed the bone coins into Big Sin’s mouth. He dragged the clothes and walked out. Sister Hong and the elder followed behind him. “What are you doing?”

“Fix the clothes.” Han Fei stood in the corridor. Big Sin and Nine Lives walked out of the blood cigarette mist. The clients inside the rooms who were torturing the men and women didn’t expect Big Sin to appear. The screams echoed nonstop at Red Alley that night. Han Fei stood in the middle of the corridor. He sneered at fate.

“Once I leave the game this time, I’ll find police to help in real life. I’ll check all the murders that have happened in the past fifty years. Knowing the enemy will help a lot.” Han Fei didn’t feel afraid because he was inside the skyscraper. Even if he only had 1 Life Point, he was trying his best to survive. Of course, that was only from Han Fei’s perspective. Both the elder and Sister Hong believed he had returned home. This man ignored the rules. He was strong, evil, mysterious, and mad. This was a supercriminal who had the power of a Sin Seeker. “Come and help.”

Nine Lives and Big Sin dragged out the dead bodies from the rooms. Han Fei selected the best skin based on the tailor’s design to fix the clothes. Most at Red Alley were sinful. However, Han Fei didn’t kill the innocent. He would use Rest in Peace to examine the victims. He would give a chance to residents who still had humanity. As for those who had lost humanity, they were not humans anymore.
