It's time to become an evil god.

He paused when he reached room 403. The strong smell of blood emanating from the room made him lick his dry, wrinkled lips and mutter a complaint to himself, "What? Someone has already gotten there first?"

His hand was on the door of room 403 when suddenly, he heard a thud as something fell to the floor from room 404 across the hall. A look of delight, like that of someone who had spotted their prey, appeared on his face.

"Thank God, it looks like the first lucky audience member of the night has appeared."

Laminis turned around and walked to the door of room 404. The door was not locked. He easily pushed open the slightly ajar wooden door and stepped into the room.

The room was filled with a damp, musty smell, but he didn't seem to care at all, dressed in a life-size teddy bear costume.

"Let me see which unfortunate soul I've discovered."

He glanced at the doctor in the white coat, huddled in the corner, trembling with fear. He didn't even bother to turn around, but instead locked the wooden door behind him and snapped the key out of the lock.

He peered through the gap in the doll at the poor victim and said with a smile, "Don't worry, now it's just you and me. We still have time tonight. I've locked the door, no one's leaving here tonight."

After saying that, he raised his sharp axe, and Raminis, nicknamed the follower of Satan, had an excited and maniacal smile on his face. It was time for the most enjoyable part of the night: torturing the victims.

"What a coincidence, you're also killing someone here?"

Suddenly, Raminis felt a heavy hand pat his shoulder from behind, which startled him and made him turn around abruptly.

The view through the gaps in the dolls wasn't very good. A strange figure appeared behind the door, even more bizarre and unsettling than himself. He held a worn-out, oddly shaped longsword in one hand and a spear in the other. Above his head was a small monster that looked like a fat worm, constantly wriggling.

Raminis lowered his head, glanced at the axe in his hand, and then looked at the murder weapon in the other person's hand. The ecstatic smile on his face gradually froze, and fear flashed across his face.

This script... seems a bit off?

Tonight, is this... running into a fellow professional?

Laminis silently hid the axe behind his back, lowered his head, brushed past, and prepared to turn and leave.

"Sorry, you've come to the wrong room. I didn't see anything. Please continue."

Chapter 176 The door was opened

"You come and go as you please? Do you think this is your living room?"

As a follower of Satan, Raminis sensed a terrifying aura emanating from this man, which even made his legs tremble involuntarily. It was a suppression of pure bloodline and power. Even though he was one of the hotel's long-time residents, he could only tremble instinctively in the face of such a terrifying guy.

The half-dead man lay on the ground, his mouth sewn shut with fishing line, while two striking words written in blood remained on the wall.

Please delete if this infringes on your rights.

When the orthopedic surgeon saw the eerie figure appear behind Raminis, he trembled all over, shaking his head frantically, trying to instinctively get away from the ghostly thing in front of him.

Seeing the other person's confused look, Bai Ge explained, "Originally, I wanted to imitate your killing method, but I was worried about infringing on the original author's rights, so I planned to leave a message saying 'Please delete if this infringes on your rights.'"

"..."

"Now."

Bai Ge moved the bathtub out of the bathroom and placed it in the living room. The bathtub was filled with water, and several wires were messily placed around it, giving people an ominous feeling.

"What...what exactly do you want to do?"

"Of course, I'm going to play a fun game with you. There are four wires in front of the bathtub, and these wires will be wrapped around your cows."

"On my cow?"

Laminis suddenly realized what the other party wanted to do, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly covered the cows.

Although he is an immortal ghost trapped in the Cecil Hotel, just like in American horror stories, ghosts also experience despair, terror, and pain.

Imagine being tied up in a bathtub, tortured day and night with electrical wires. Even the most resilient soul would go completely mad.

In a panic, Raminis no longer cared about his status as the number one serial killer. He frantically flung his hand away and ran for his life. Only when he reached the door did he realize that in a moment of madness, he had locked the door from the inside and broken the key. Now he finally understood the despair and terror of a victim.

He frantically pounded on the door, shouting in despair.

"Open the door right now!!!"

"Please, someone help me!!!"

The desperate man pounded on the iron gate and screamed hoarsely!

However, apart from the deathly silent corridor with no response and the faint sounds coming from something in the distance, all that remained was the sound of terrifying footsteps approaching from behind.

"Don't rush off."

Snapped.

That arm—no, it was a slippery, wriggling tentacle—grabbed tightly onto Raminis's shoulder. The other hand hoisted the Demon King's bone hammer and hung it around the deranged killer's neck. Bai Ge revealed a benevolent smile and said, "Since you're here, Mr. Raminis, since you claim to be a disciple of Satan, why don't we talk about how to torture the victims to the point of wishing they were dead?"

Laminis said with a mournful face, "...I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

"Don't panic, I'm a law-abiding citizen, a very law-abiding citizen!"

Bai Ge patted his chest and said, "Didn't you see the words 'good citizen' written all over my face?"

Laminis squinted and looked around, but he didn't see the words "good citizens" at all. They were clearly Japanese devils!

He said nervously, "You promise you won't use all those techniques on me?"

Bai Ge said with a stern face, "If you don't tell me, I can torture your bullfrog into an electric eel right now."

Those eyes staring at him were cold and terrifying. For some reason, they reminded him of the cliff on Sentinel Hill when he was a child. Every time he stood on the cliff and stared into the dark abyss, his legs would go weak and he would be terrified.

The other person wasn't faking it; the terrifying aura emanating from them unmistakably told him that this was a ruthless character. He never dreamed that he would actually capture a psychopathic killer, and one even more terrifying than himself.

"Big brother, big brother, I was wrong. It was my fault. I shouldn't have called myself a disciple of Satan and a murderer in front of you... You are the real Satan. You don't have a single human characteristic on you."

"Shhh."

Bai Ge gestured for him to shut up, then turned to the dumbfounded doctor behind him and said, "Um, doctor, why don't you close your eyes first? The following scene may be a bit gory. Minors who are psychopathic killers should watch with their parents at their discretion."

"...No, no need."

Fearing he would find out how he was going to die, the orthopedic surgeon reached for a wine bottle on the ground, raised his hand, and smashed it down on his head. He instantly rolled his eyes back and lost consciousness.

Laminis was forcibly pressed into the icy cold bathtub by writhing tentacles. Although he was in a ghostly state, he could still feel pain thanks to the special effects of the Cicel Hotel.

"...I...I can tell you something. You must be looking for the experimenters who went missing from the hotel, right?"

Laminis swallowed hard and said cautiously, "I...I've been to the room where the experimental data is, really, I'm not lying to you. I, I can take you there. The Cecil Hotel isn't that simple; besides the part on the surface, there's another part of the space."

"Experimental data?"

Bai Ge pressed on, "What experimental data is it about?"

Laminis shook his head, glancing cautiously at Bai Ge before explaining, "Yes, yes, I don't know what the earliest researchers did in this hotel. I can only barely understand part of the experimental data and reports. The whole thing is about the imprisonment and containment of some numbered objects."

"Detention and containment?"

Bai Ge immediately became interested. It seemed that the Xisel Hotel was far more complicated than he had imagined. "Take me there."

Under duress, Raminis had no choice but to open the door and walk out into the corridor. Raminis led Bai Ge to the end of the corridor and gently touched the wall. In the next instant, the ground, walls, and doors, all the space began to fold, rotate, stack, and embed, just like the distorted and overlapping buildings in Inception, filled with dazzling structures.

Penrose stairs, Möbius strip, Drosten effect, Fibonacci spiral...

The corridor transformed from a two-dimensional plane into a towering maze with three dimensions, intricate and interconnected, with both of them located at the bottom of this vast and complex maze.

At the end of this ever-changing corridor, there is a half-open door, from which a dim yellow light is emanating.

Bai Ge wanted to step forward to check, but was stopped by Laminis beside him.

"what happened?"

Something's not right.

Laminis' eyes widened as he pointed at the door in front of him and said, "How did that door get opened?"

Chapter 177 I saw Red Superman slaughtering monsters as soon as I entered the door

The room was filled with rustling sounds of monsters being sucked in. Even a ghost like Raminis, who had lived in the Cecil Hotel for a long time, couldn't help but feel weak in the knees when he arrived here. If he hadn't been wearing the bulky Freddy Bear costume, he would have definitely turned around and run away by now.

The strange creatures and spirits in the hotel seemed to instinctively fear this room, as if something terrifying and horrifying was hidden inside.

Boom, boom, boom.

Unexplained knocking and pounding sounds came from inside the room. Laminis, who had been looking blankly ahead, suddenly realized what was going on. Could it be that some unfortunate tenant had accidentally wandered into the room and was being tortured by the strange thing inside?

Upon thinking of this, the previously tense Raminis instantly calmed down, and a bold and dangerous idea formed in his mind.

"Perhaps other tenants have discovered the secret of this room. I advise you not to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Ge used a fishing line to tie Laminis to the strange javelin in his hand. A sense of unease welled up in Laminis's heart, and he asked nervously, "Wait, what are you trying to do! You, you better not do anything reckless!"

"Didn't you say there might be other tenants hiding inside?"

Bai Ge explained, "Is there a problem with me taking you there to say hello?"

Laminis, with a mournful face, retorted, "Have you ever seen anyone greet someone by strapping a bomb to their body? You, you, you mustn't do anything reckless!"

Bai Ge patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "I'm not trying to criticize you, but in the hospitable Gotham City, these are all basic operations, so don't be surprised. You still lack awareness. Tonight, I'll teach you how to become a competent psychopathic killer."

At this moment, Raminis was on the verge of tears. Tonight, he had truly witnessed the apostle of Lord Satan.

It's a pity that Bai Ge didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have definitely curled his lip in disdain, saying that this was all Satan's pranks were capable of.

"No, boss, please don't do it. I... I can walk there myself, okay?"

Raminis gritted his teeth. Rather than be tortured half to death, he would rather die sooner rather than later. He closed his eyes and rushed toward the door, slamming his entire body against it.

With a bang, the door was kicked open.

The room was a mess, with only a strange guy in a red leather suit grabbing a brick and smashing it repeatedly against a humanoid shape formed from twisted mycelium. The humanoid shape was oozing oily sludge, looking bizarre and disgusting.

The guy in the red leather suit said as he fought, "What a crappy gadget, this thing is much more handy."

"What are you standing there for? What did you just see?"

Looking at the scene before him, Raminis turned around with a conflicted expression, pointed behind the door, and whispered, "As soon as I walked in, I saw a guy wearing a red tokusatsu mask torturing a little monster."

"Huh? A red tokusatsu hood? Could it be the Crimson Serial Killer?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ge rushed into the room, only to unexpectedly discover Section Chief Xing, who had been separated from her at the beginning.

"Bai Ge?"

When Section Chief Xing saw Bai Ge appear, his expression changed, and he hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "What are you doing here? Get out of here! Don't come any closer, this guy is crazy."

"You're a player from the same world as him?"

The man in the red Superman tokusatsu suit stared at Bai Ge and said, "Never mind, now's not the time to talk about this. Originally, I wanted to scheme against you. But I've discovered something more interesting, so I don't care anymore."
