My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 326

326 Accidental Help

Han Fei didn’t expect the jumper woman to show up so soon. He also didn’t expect to pick Zhuang Wen’s last humanity as his mission reward and brought it out from the room either. ‘She’s going to chase me until I die?!’ Blood seeped out from the gap in the door. As the balcony door was about to explode, Han Fei immediately picked up the girl and ran downstairs. “Let me touch you and die! Die! Die!” With the shriek, all the bells inside Room 1244 shattered. The blood trails crawled through the room like snakes. The seal in this scariest room was being forcibly broken!

No outsider had been able to enter Room 1244 much less take something out from it. The jumper woman was mad, her key was stolen and now even her last piece of humanity was taken away!

Han Fei had done things Butterfly both dared and did not dare to do.

“What to do now? I thought you were the soul of Zhuang Wen’s child, I didn’t expect you to be Zhuang Wen herself!” Holding the innocent girl in his hand, Han Fei raced for his life even though he had just literally started the game. A normal person wouldn’t be able to relax in such an intense Iyashikei game.

“Give me back my child!” The loud voice echoed out from the abyss of Room 1244 and reverberated all over Building 1. It had not been half an hour but the jumper woman appeared to have shattered some kind of binding. She dragged her broken body covered in curses and crawled out from Room 1244. This time she didn’t fall from the balcony but instead used the front door to chase after Han Fei. Perhaps for the jumper woman, this didn’t mean anything but the little girl in Han Fei’s embrace had seen everything. A glint entered her clear eyers. Leaving that room appeared to be the wish once buried inside her heart. And Han Fei had accidentally helped her fulfil that wish.

The jumper woman was trapped inside her room when she was alive and she had never really ‘left’ her room after death. After she was trapped at Ziggurat, Butterfly never gave her the opportunity to leave from the front door either because every time there was a new outsider, she would have to fall from the balcony again and again!

Room 1244 was locked and the jumper woman had to pull the key out from her own heart to unlock it, but that was easier said than done because whenever she tried to touch it, her horrible pasts would come back to haunt her. The jumper woman was trapped inside Room 1244, if someone wanted to help her, they had to risk their lives to pull the key out from her heart but obtaining the key was just the first step. Furthermore, it was already hard enough to survive at Ziggurat. No one would be dumb enough to save a Lingering Hatred, even at the cryptic world, they were treated as ‘monsters’. So it was the jumper woman’s fate to be forever trapped in Room 1244 and became the manager’s tool to clean up Building 1.

But the miracle arrived in the form of Han Fei. He plucked away the woman’s key for the sake of his mission but it was pure coincidence that he grabbed the little girl and ran. With the stars lining up, Han Fei accidentally helped the jumper woman fulfil one of her biggest wishes, she managed to walk out from the house of evil which entrapped her. Complicated emotions entered the girl’s eyes and her body was changing. However, Han Fei was too busy running to save himself to notice all these. The jumper woman was the scariest presence at Building 1, only a perfect red dress could stop her. Han Fei didn’t know what happened at Building 1 after he left yesterday night, his safest bet now was to hurry towards the guard room.

‘Zhuang Wen has been split into different parts, the jumper woman, the divorced mother, the syringe woman and this girl from Room 1244. To have her regain her consciousness, I’m afraid I’ll have to reunite all of her split consciousnesses.’ Han Fei had attempted that many times in the Ziggurat game but he failed every time. But the cryptic world was different from that game, here, he didn’t have the chance to start over. If he died here, it would be truly over.

‘The livestreamer lives on the 8th floor but it’s too early to go find her. My main goal should be the red dress inside the guard room.’ Noisy footsteps echoed in the stairwell. With literal death chasing after him, Han Fei couldn’t care less about subtlety anymore. When Han Fei rushed past floor 18, the safety door suddenly opened. The businessman in mourning attire looked into the stairwell and immediately turned around, “A gentleman makes money the right way.”

Han Fei continued his escape. After Han Fei passed by, a waterfall of redness swallowed the stairwell. The shattered bells, paper money rolled inside the storm of curses and talismans as the jumper woman careened downwards. The businessman who saw this from inside the safety door was stunned speechless. The jumper woman’s only target was Han Fei and because of that, the businessman was spared. After Han Fei and the jumper woman disappeared, he picked up the scattered paper money on the ground and hurried home.

Han Fei created a large commotion as he hurried downstairs but there were not many tenants who were willing to come out to check on the situation. Practically no one dared to stop Han Fei. Han Fei reached the 4th floor, when he was worried about whether there were still people inside the guard room, he saw the door open and Xiao Fang walk out.

“Brother Bai, I knew it was you from the sounds of footsteps!” Xiao Fang said happily. Brother Hwa poked his head out too. His face was pale but he sighed in relief after he saw Han Fei. “It’s great that you’re still alive. Quick, come in, we have many things to tell you.”

“There’s no time for that! Toss me the red dress! Now!” Han Fei didn’t have time for a reunion. “The jumper woman is following behind me!”

Thankfully, Xiao Fang and Brother Hwa were already used to Han Fei’s scale of doing things. They ran back into the room and came out with a red box. “The red dress is inside this box. She has stitched herself back together but there’s something wrong with her…”

“Give me and close the door!” Before Brother Hwa could finish, Han Fei snatched the box with his free hand and raced past the corridor. He still had the girl in his embrace. The horrifying wails soon followed. Brother Hwa and Xiao Fang didn’t have the time to close the door and so they saw the crazed jumper woman crawl past them. The stinging smell of blood almost made them faint.

“My God! What has Brother Bai done to the jumper woman?” Brother Hwa and Xiao Fang looked at the blood-dyed corridor and they shivered. They didn’t dare to imagine the possible answers…
