The elevator soon reached the rooftop.
"Little bro, I'll wait for you in the elevator."
"You said you'd help me find my head."
A sweet voice echoed from within the elevator.
Su Chen nodded and said, "Wait for me."
Then he strode out of the elevator.
The rooftop of the seventh floor was extremely dim with poor visibility.
The ground was sticky, and an overpowering smell of decay filled the air.
One step on it could even pull out strings of goo.
Su Chen struggled to find something on the rooftop.
Without the three-hour protection period, navigating the rooftop wouldn't be this easy.
In the world of horror, dangers lurking in every corner were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Found it."
In no time, Su Chen spotted his target.
A figure in a trench coat stood in one corner of the rooftop.
It was like a sculpture, neither moving nor speaking.
"Hey, bro, you here to jump too?" Su Chen took out a half-bottle of aged liquor from his backpack and swayed towards the figure.
The figure still didn't move, but Su Chen nonchalantly sat on the edge of the rooftop.
His dazed eyes stared into the darkness before him.
"Bro, are you also desperate about this hellish world?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he could clearly see that what was inside the trench coat was no human.
It was just human skin.
Its hollow facial features stared into the distance, and its pale skin was covered with black veins.
Su Chen's face remained expressionless, as if he hadn't seen the horror underneath the trench coat.
He let out a desolate cry, wiping away tears as he wept.
"I really can't go on living anymore."
"Bro, I've been without parents since I was young, living by picking trash."
"I finally got a girlfriend, but she ran off with a fair-faced guy."
"Three years later, she came back and told me she was pregnant."
"I said I'd raise the child."
"But she said I was unworthy to raise her child."
As he spoke of his sadness, Su Chen took a gulp of the aged liquor.
The human skin was also moved by Su Chen's story.
He'd seen people grovel, but never like this—it was truly ghostly.
"Bro, you must have your own story too, or you wouldn't be standing here."
"Since we're both destined to die, why not be friends before we do? We can take care of each other on the road to the afterlife."
"What do you say? I have liquor, do you have a story?"
Su Chen looked at the human skin with a look of misery and despair and passed over the aged liquor.
After a slight hesitation, the human skin took the liquor and took a sip.
As the human skin took the liquor, Su Chen clearly saw a head hanging at its waist.
It was the head of the elevator ghost.
In his previous life, the human skin had eaten the head of the elevator ghost and disappeared completely, which Su Chen had never found.
This time, he finally found it before the human skin could consume the head.
"I haven't had such strong liquor for a long time." The human skin squeezed out an ethereal voice, and a chilly breeze surrounded it.
"This is the aged liquor I've been hoarding for over a decade, never wanting to drink it." Su Chen nodded.
This bottle of aged liquor was brewed from those rotten meats in the refrigerator, sealed for over a decade.
If a living person drank it, they would randomly gain a bit of attribute points.
If a ghost drank it, they would get drunk.
The duration of drunkenness varied, but it was enough.
"Good liquor," The human skin praised, lifting the bottle and gulping it down.
The chilling breeze around him became stronger, almost freezing to the bone.
This was a ghostly ability of the human skin.
Without the newbie protection period, Su Chen would have been separated from his skin and flesh by now.
After finishing the liquor, the human skin swayed and burped.
Su Chen stared intently at the human skin.
It was getting drunk.
"Good liquor, truly good liquor." The human skin swayed and sat on the ground with a weak leg.
It was at that moment of sitting down that Su Chen moved.
He grabbed the head hanging at the human skin's waist, yanked it hard, and roared, "Thanks, bro."
Then he rushed towards the elevator without looking back.
Behind him came the angry growl of the human skin.
Indescribable resentment turned into a fierce chilling breeze raging on the rooftop.
Sticky ground on the rooftop pulled up a large amount of blood vessels.
"It's drunk, I should make it in time."
Su Chen ran for his life.
Although he had a three-hour newbie protection period, making him immune to all damage, if the human skin recovered and caught him, the protection period would be a joke.
Looking for the head of the elevator ghost at the beginning was too risky, more like a gamble.
But he had to take the gamble. Once the human skin ate the head, it would completely disappear in front of Su Chen.
So Su Chen had no choice.
When he realized he had been reborn in the early stages of the horror world, he decided to use the newbie protection period to get the head of the elevator ghost.
The crisis was still intense, and Su Chen ran for his life.
The small rooftop seemed to be expanded indefinitely, as if there was no end in sight.
Now was the most dangerous moment.
Success or failure depended on when the human skin sobered up.
"Red Bell, I've got your head."
"If you don't save me, your head will disappear forever."
Red Bell was the name of the elevator ghost.
In his previous life, Su Chen failed to find Red Bell's head and was chased by her.
Now, Su Chen could only place his hopes on Red Bell.
With his current abilities, it was difficult to escape the human skin's control.
"Head, my head."
A sweet voice emerged from the distance, accompanied by a surge of bloody water.
The bloody water and blood vessels intertwined, blossoming into bloody roses.
"The head is here, pull me in," Su Chen roared.
He saw a bloody hand in the surging water.
The bloody hand spread its five fingers and quickly grabbed towards him.
At the same time, the human skin awoke.
The trench coat spread out like wings, and the human skin split in the middle, wrapping around Su Chen's feet at an extremely fast speed.
Once the human skin ate Su Chen, it would be all over.
When the newbie protection period ended, it would be Su Chen's doom.
The human skin was still wrapping around, already covering one of Su Chen's legs.
At this moment, the bloody hand also grabbed Su Chen.
With Su Chen as the core, the two began to tear each other apart.
"Here's your head."
"As a reward, you must save me."
Tearing each other apart like this was no solution.
Once his protection period ended, he would instantly be torn to shreds by the two evil spirits.
So, Su Chen directly threw the head into the bloody water.
The bloody water boiled violently, bubbling with more blood.
Without Red Bell's help, half of Su Chen's body was instantly engulfed by the human skin.
Su Chen was still struggling, his remaining eye staring intently at the boiling bloody water in the distance.
"Save me. take me back to the elevator."
As he was about to be completely consumed by the human skin, Su Chen saw a head floating up from the bloody water.
It was a woman's head, with pale skin and delicate facial features. Even with its eyes closed, it brought an astonishing visual impact to Su Chen.
Red Bell's most crucial head was found.
The next second, Red Bell opened her eyes.
From her eyes, a sea of blood could be seen surging endlessly.
The bloody water on the rooftop also grew wildly, turning into a huge wave.
As the huge wave approached Su Chen, it formed a massive bloody hand.
The bloody hand grabbed Su Chen, who was almost completely consumed by the human skin.
With a forceful grip, Su Chen was pulled into the elevator.
The rooftop became silent again.
The bloody water disappeared, the blood vessels disappeared, the chilling breeze disappeared, and Su Chen disappeared.
What just happened seemed like an illusion.
"Don't worry about me, kill this human skin first."
"When I was on the rooftop helping you find your head, I saw it planning to eat your head."
"How could I tolerate that? Of course, I had to intervene."
"Since I promised to help you find your head, I can't break my word."
Su Chen roared with Ninety-five percent of his body consumed by the human skin.
Only half of his face was still under his control.
Upon hearing Su Chen's roar, the bloody water in the elevator churned and rotated.
Unparalleled resentment and anger washed over the human skin.
The human skin, like a candy wrapper, melted and shattered bit by bit.
If it could still speak, it would roar, "What the hell are you talking about? Is this how you treat a friend?"
But alas, the skin was now draped over Su Chen, unable to utter another word.
All it could do was watch helplessly as the blood devoured it.
