My Iyashikei Game Chapter 379

379 Reunion [2in1]

The Evil Soul didn't fear the 'guardians' at Ziggurat. In his eyes, there were only 2 kinds of people at Ziggurat, the type he could kill and the type he would kill with outside help. The space under the second daughter's bed appeared to be connected to another world. Countless figurines crawled out. They were of varying sizes and had different expressions.

Using his left leg, the Evil Soul stomped the figurines that came close to him. The hair that was trapped inside the figurines floated into the air. “The hair is hidden inside the figurines. Were the figurines worshiping the owner of the hair or the owner of the hair is the master of the figurines?”

The yellow papers with various Death Curses were torn apart. After the figurines were shattered, the Death Curses bound themselves around the hair. Even after destruction, they would stay with the hair forever. Waving his arms, the Evil Soul slammed at the bed with a wicked grin.

The bed collapsed. The figurines crawled out from the broken bed frame. They gushed out like waves. “Each figurine has a strand of hair inside them? Human beings have around 100000 hair, are there 100000 figurines under the bed then?” The Evil Soul's bloody lips curled. “How cheap can you get?”

A singular figurine was unable to affect the Evil Spirit. But when faced with hundreds of them, even the senior monster started to wound. The ghosts hidden inside the figurines were very unique. Perhaps they had spent a long time with the hair, the presence of the hair's owner rubbed off on them and they became immune to most of the Death Curse. There was constant shattering. A yin energy storm swept through the room. There were broken figurines everywhere.

However, the owner of the hair appeared to be an Unmentionable. Even the senior monster's black flame of hatred couldn't burn through the hair. As the figurines shattered, the Evil Soul collected the hair. He had no idea what they were for but his instinct told him the hair was very dangerous. He planned to send them inside Room 4044. After ensuring he had been made the target by all the figurines, the Evil Soul escaped from the room with a taunting laugh.

The senior monster's large body crawled on the wall and endless figurines trailed behind him.

“Come! Let your hatred burn through my body!” The senior monster's arm yanked off the door to Room 4144 and he scurried away with it. He had the figurines trail down the building with him. That way, the tenants could share in his pressure by helping him butcher the figurines. The figurines crawled or ran as they followed the senior monster. At Ziggurat, no one dared to approach Room 4144. Since every tenant here was conducting soul-summoning rituals, none of them dared to desecrate any holy or religious symbol. When they saw the figurines, the tenants would burn a joss stick for them.

But now the Evil Soul and the senior monster had fully challenged the Ziggurat's taboo. They had not only smashed the figurines, they planned to murder all the 'guardians' inside the building.

As time progressed, the figurines that came out of Room 4144 became more alive. Their expressions became more human. The strangest thing was some of the figurines started to possess body temperature like living humans.

In the dark corridor, the senior monster slithered through like a snake. The blood trail he left behind was immediately dominated by the figurines. The dirge was congregating at the spot where the Singer was. The dark mist was also attracted by the Singer. This gave the Evil Soul a perfect opportunity to unleash himself.

Listening to the Song, even the senior monster would show feelings of fear. 'Which madman brought such a scary thing here? Without the Singer, I wouldn't be able to convince the old man so easily.' The Evil Soul raced to the 4th floor and slammed through the safety door. He let the hatred burn down the walls and lured the figurines to the door of Room 4044.

The ghosts inside the figurines were incensed by Evil Soul and the latter wished to crush them as well, but the location had to be carefully picked. It had to be in front of the door guardian. The shattered figurines fluttered through the air. The Evil Soul used various methods to push the cursed paper and hair towards the door of Room 4044. Initially, he didn't think much but soon he and the figurines noticed something. When the hair inside the figurines were about to touch the door, the blood red door would consume the hair directly. The door where the door guardian was would surface with human figures and strange words. The color of the door guardian would become faded, like its power was slowly being absorbed by the curse and hair.

The Evil Soul also noticed that the hair inside the figurine appeared to be able to phase through the seal of Room 4044 easily. In other words, the hair perhaps came from Room 4044 originally. The owner of the hair was the original owner of Room 4044.

When the hair was first stuffed into Room 4044, there was no response from inside the room. The owner appeared to have decided to keep on watching like they usually did. However as more hair melted into the door, some of the broken figurines started to pry at the door as if they wanted to crawl through the gap to get into the room to retrieve the hair. Gradually, the figurines crawled all over the door of Room 4044. The blood red door started to change. The terrifying image of the door guardian was fading!

Seeing this, the Evil Soul's eyes glinted. He exploded the hatred on his body and raised a tsunami from it! All the figurines were slammed against Room 4044, the hair inside the figurines disappeared into the door. As the redness of the door lightened, the Evil Soul who was covered in figurines slammed into the door.

Bang! The crack spread from the centre of the door. The door was like a broken heart. Under the repeated slamming by the senior monster, it trembled anxiously. At that moment, the dirge sounded inside the building. The dirge who was fighting with the Singer seemed to sense something and hurried back to the Ziggurat. The dirge echoed in his ears but it was unable to drown out the Evil Soul's cackle. He studied the crack on the door and became more violent!

His eyes opened behind the curtain of blood. Murderous intent poured out from his pupils! One after another slamming, the Evil Soul intended to tear through the Heart Room of Room 4044!

Countless numbers of figurines had been shattered, the senior monster's body was wounded but the black flame of hatred burned brighter, like he was close to breaking through a threshold. The door had loosened. The cracks spread from the centre and connected to the walls of Ziggurat. With a final slam from the senior monster, the door of Room 4044 was finally blasted open!

Room 4044 was the home of many dressers. Each dresser had a pair of blood red doors! This room appeared to be the intersecting point of all the dresser worlds, it was one of the hearts of Ziggurat. “The door guardian on the door has completely disappeared, why has the manager's watch dog gone into hiding?”

The Evil Soul poked his head into Room 4044 with figurines hanging on his body. Initially the figurines chased after the Evil Soul due to hatred but after the door to Room 4044 was open, the figurines were attracted by something else and all of them crawled towards one of the dressers. The 4th floor slowly returned to silence. At the corner of the stairwell, a red high heel stepped on the broken figurine.

“Is that our building manager? How did he become uglier than you?” Lee Zai slowly walked out from the shadows. He looked at Drake beside him with uncertainty.

“I don't know, I haven't noticed this kind of presence from the boss before. He has always been a gentle person. He is a light that can warm others.” Drake carried a board-like object that was covered under a black cloth. The thing was very heavy, even for the Medium Lingering Spirit Drake.

“That is his voice but it is not his taste.” The blood red table knife sliced through the Yin energy in the corridor. Xu Qin's expression was terrifying, like she was ready for a massacre.

“Then should we follow him? That room looks dangerous. We currently do not have any information. Running into the room might land us in a trap.” While they were discussing it, the black cloth on Drake's back suddenly slipped off on its own. He was carrying a huge mirror. The moment the black cloth fell, everyone near the mirror scattered. Those who were too late immediately closed their eyes to not see their reflection in the mirror.

“The man who has joined with the giant ghost is indeed the person we're looking for, but that is not the complete him. That is just one of his 3 souls.” A male voice came from the mirror. After he spoke, everyone else was silent. After a while, it was Drake who carried the mirror that asked, “What do you mean by 1 of 3 souls? Mirror God, you have to be clearer than that! The man's behavior is somewhat different from the boss I know…” Drake looked at the broken corridor and the smashed figurines… Wasn't this something Han Fei would usually do?

“The reason humans became ghosts is because they have lingering resentment. But the most unique thing about human beings is their soul. Every person's soul is different, they possess the essence of a person.” Mirror God is the oldest tenant at Happiness Neighbourhood, no one knew where he came from but the man inside the mirror seemed to know a lot about souls. “The thing that has joined with the large ghost is Han Fei's Evil Soul. He represents the man's most basic desire. To put it simply, what you see is the man's most authentic self without any constraint.”

“The most authentic self? The building manager is so dangerous?” Lee Zai glanced at the Mirror God. After he realized his reflection was not in the mirror, he became more courageous.

“This version of himself will not hide his thoughts and doesn't care for the rules, but then again he has the power to do so. When a normal person loses their soul, they will become muddled and lost. The missing soul will also soon disappear but Han Fei's soul is clearly different. They are very special.” This was the first time the Mirror God had said so many words.

“Since he is Han Fei's soul then I'll have to help him.” Xu Qin stepped over the pieces of figurines. Without a glance at their faces, her fingers caressed the human doily on one of her table knives and she strode into Room 4044. The other figures followed behind her wordlessly.

The dresser doors inside Room 4044 were all open. They were filled with blood stained clothes. Most of the dressers were like a split-open stomach, they kept leaking blood. Following the trail of the broken figurines, Xu Yin and the others from Happiness Neighbourhood entered the bedroom of Room 4044.

This bedroom did not have a bed, but instead it had a giant dresser. Currently all the figurines had entered this dresser. The door of the dresser opened to reveal endless bloody clothes. The clothes echoed with weak pleas and begging.

“I am a curse so the thing here can't hurt me. I'll go in to take a lot, the rest of you should wait here.”

“I'm carrying the Mirror God, we can help.”

“Despair and Death are my least feared things. Even though my tears are dry, my crying can still help you. I'm going with you.” In the end, everyone entered the dresser. Pulling away the clothes, the group from Happiness Neighbourhood soon realized something strange. Every figurine that entered the dresser, whether they were broken or not, had on shrunken bloody clothes. The figurines inside the dresser looked even more human-like. They appeared to be coming alive under the influence of some kind of power.

“Such a place is hidden inside Ziggurat?”

Most of the bloody clothes had been worn by the figurines so their sight cleared. Soon they arrived at the centre of the dresser world.

The senior monster controlled by the Evil Soul was fighting the headless door guardian. The monster bit on the guardian's arm. His body was almost chopped through by the guardian but he didn't mind it. The whole dresser world could hear his unhinged laughter.

As the wounds appeared on the senior ghost's body, the brighter his fire of hatred burned. After another battle, both the senior monster and the door guardian crashed to the ground.

This time the senior monster didn't get back up to fight, instead he turned his head around. Evil Soul was a perfectly rational madman. He saw the group from Happiness Neighbourhood through the gap in the clothes. “You've come through the opening in the mist, right? People here try their best to escape but you've wandered in on your own? Do you wish to find death?” The Evil Soul appeared to have sensed them when they entered the dresser.

Blood rain drizzled. Xu Qin walked out from the bloody clothes. “We're not here for death, we're here for you, to bring you home.” The neighbours walked out. They looked at the senior monster but instead of fear, their eyes shone with worry.

“Home? You're my family?” The Evil Soul's lips cracked open with a smile. His evil gaze stared at Xu Yin. “Why do I feel hunger around you, the fiery passion makes me want to swallow you into my stomach. Were you my love? Were you my wife before I died?”
