Not all butterflies in the world were beautiful, some were ugly and venomous, like the Grim Reaper's pets.
Ignoring the mission, Han Fei controlled his character to move to the dead body at the corner of the room.
When he got close, the butterfly that landed on the body suddenly flapped its wings and started to dance around Han Fei.
Touching the body, Han Fei found several yellowed notes around the body. Each note had blood-red words written on it.
"You'll die if you're afraid!"
"You'll die if you turn back to look!"
"You'll die if you see your reflection in the mirror!"
"You'll die if you eat in the room!"
"You'll die if you speak!"
The paper slips looked quite scary. Han Fei had no idea what kind of paper the body had drawn but his death should be related to one of the paper slips.
'In the Ziggurat, I'll die if I do the forbidden things on the notes? Is this some kind of curse? ' Zhuang Ren was too old to understand the rules. This game was different from other games on the market, there was nothing he could refer to.
'That should be the case.'
Han Fei's eyes were glued to the butterfly. It circled the character several times before flying back into the room.
"Are we going to follow it? Does the butterfly look like a game guide? '
"It's not a game guide, following it will only lead to a horrible death." Before Han Fei finished, the room that the character was in changed.
After the butterfly left, the room door closed on its own. A line of bloody words appeared behind the door — 'You've chosen to die if you move!'
Han Fei did not choose to do anything. He merely touched the body and read the words on the paper on the ground.
No matter how good his controls were, he could not continue with such a deadly curse.
After a long hesitation, Han Fei tried to move the character. The moment he moved, the character dissolved into a pool of blood, it was a horrible death.
The game returned to its original state. The words' Ziggurat 'glowed coldly on the television screen.
'To clear the Ziggurat, I'll have to choose a difficult way to die.' Han Fei stared at the screen. On the surface, he looked like he was playing the game but his mind was occupied with the cryptic world.
Glancing at the time, Han Fei felt that he still had a chance to enter the Ziggurat again.
Standing up to stretch, Han Fei picked up the game controller again. "Director Zhuang, do you know how to order takeout? Let's grab a bite to eat, then continue to clear the level. "
Han Fei acted as if he had returned to his own home, and there was no formality in his tone. Zhuang Ren cooperated very well with Han Fei and immediately took out his phone to order dishes.
For Zhuang Ren, Han Fei was like his savior and he would try his best to satisfy all of Han Fei's requests.
Every time he died, he had to restart the game from the beginning. The complicated mission process took several hours. When he entered the 9th map again, it was already 8 pm.
He wanted to figure out how to choose the method of death.
Han Fei carefully maneuvered his character down the corridor. There were 12 rooms on the first floor. The first room on the left that Han Fei entered earlier was the first.
"Will different rooms hide different ways of dying?"
Han Fei was more cautious this time. Perhaps he had taken too long because footsteps came from the end of the corridor. Something was approaching.
About 10 seconds later, the deliveryman that appeared on the 2nd map reappeared. His head was smashed and his 5 fingers were filled with sarcomas. He was carrying a large delivery box and crawling towards Han Fei.
"Quick, find a room to hide in!" Zhuang Ren screamed. In a normal horror game, when the monster appeared, the player only needed to find a place to hide and the monster would leave soon.
Shaking his head, Han Fei controlled his character to run down the stairs. After he left the deliveryman's sight, Han Fei turned in another direction.
Without any combat ability, Han Fei used the terrain to play hide and seek with the deliveryman. The most ridiculous thing was, Han Fei managed to evade the deliveryman's pursuit time and time again.
'I'm not good at many things but hide and seek is one of them.'
Using the stairs on both sides of the building, Han Fei managed to shake off the deliveryman. But before he could sigh in relief, his character suddenly dissolved into a puddle of blood and died on the spot.
'He died again? He wasn't killed by a ghost and he didn't trigger a curse, why would he suddenly die? 'Zhuang Ren was confused. This game could not be understood using normal logic.
'It's probably because you haven't chosen a way to die for a long time so the Ziggurat has arranged a way for you to die.' Han Fei narrowed his eyes as he was reminded of something.
Due to the many times he had interfered with the Butterfly's plan, Han Fei was placed under a death curse by the Ziggurat. He would die in a certain way within a month.
This death curse was similar to the curse in the Ziggurat. If he entered the Ziggurat and chose a different way to die, which curse would take effect in the end?
From another perspective, since the Ziggurat had already placed a death curse on him, he would die in a certain way within a month. Didn't that mean that he had accepted a curse from the Ziggurat? He could survive in the Ziggurat without accepting other curses?
The Ziggurat was not a normal game and Han Fei's thought process was not that of a normal person's.
After the second failure, Han Fei glanced at the time. It was still early so he tried the third time.
He became more familiar with the first 8 maps and the time he spent on them decreased. Soon, Han Fei entered the Ziggurat for the third time.
"Slow down …" Zhuang Ren wanted to imitate Han Fei's movements but he soon gave up on that idea.
Many of Han Fei's decisions could not be made just by knowing how to do it. Even if his brain could remember it, his hands would not be able to do it.
At this point, Zhuang Ren valued Han Fei even more. It would be impossible for him to beat the Ziggurat game on his own.
If he wanted to see his family as soon as possible, he had to rely on Han Fei.
Zhuang Ren, who appeared to be mad in everyone's eyes, was like a dedicated nanny before Han Fei. Without Han Fei's instruction, Zhuang Ren hurried to carry out the 'logistics'.
The first 2 deaths gave Han Fei very important information. This time, he planned to trigger the curse again.
After avoiding the first and fourth room, Han Fei studied the door, trying to find some clues.
Unfortunately, he could not see anything from the door. He had to enter the room to find out what was inside.
Han Fei calculated the time in his mind and when the delivery man was about to arrive, he entered the third room.
'There are no butterflies or dead bodies in this room.'
Red scratch marks could be seen everywhere in the old room. The room was decorated like a wedding room but all the red was dyed with blood.
The red 'Double Happiness' on the wall did not look festive at all, if anything, it was creepy.
'Wedding room?'
Han Fei's pupils narrowed. He walked past the living room and pushed open the bedroom door. Above the red bed hung a large black and white funeral portrait.
The groom looked exactly like he did before he died. The bride was wearing a Chinese wedding dress and a red veil.
On the wall next to the portrait, someone used their fingernails to carve out a sentence — 'If you cry, you will die!'
