Han Fei had already used 2 out of the 5 chances to turn around but he still had not seen the Soul Chaser's face. He had no idea how to complete this mission.
Time trickled by. He would die if he did not see the Soul Chaser within 10 minutes, he would die if the Soul Chaser caught up to him and he would die after using up all 5 chances. The combination of these conditions gave Han Fei unimaginable pressure.
The only thing that gave him hope and strength was to log off. Before he logged off, he needed to gather as much information as he could to increase his chance of survival.
'I still have about 7 minutes left, that's more than enough.' Han Fei gave up on the mission. After he made up his mind to log off, his heart felt lighter.
As long as he logged off fast enough, death would only happen the next time he logged in.
'I'll try my best to make use of the remaining 3 chances. After I log off, I'll go to Zhuang Ren's house and try to figure out what the Soul Chaser is. That way, I'll have a chance to complete this mission the next time I log in.'
A Grade F Mission with a 10 minute time limit was ridiculous. The Soul Chaser trailing behind Han Fei felt like he was in a different dimension. The Ziggurat was like a mini Perfect Life game, separated into the outer and inner worlds.
The real scariest things were in the inner world. The 'harmless' tenants who had their memories taken away were placed in the outer world. The Night of Resurrection was a fusion of the outer and inner worlds, the scariest things from the inner world would return.
There were 2 bridges between the two worlds, one was the Butterfly's nightmare and the other was the Soul Summoning Ritual.
Coincidentally, this seemed to correspond to the Butterfly's ability to control dreams and the Happiness Neighbourhood's resident manager's ability to summon souls.
'The scariest thing in the Ziggurat is awakening. As the ritual continues, the pressure on me will only increase.'
The Ziggurat was like a bottomless abyss, there was no end to despair and pain.

Running down the stairs, Han Fei evaded the attacks from behind several times. He did not turn back until he reached the 4th floor corridor.
'Room 4041!' Han Fei stared at one of the doors and his mind turned. 'Feng Ziyu was dragged into the cryptic world by the Butterfly. With the Butterfly's personality, they wouldn't allow him to wander around so he's probably trapped inside Room 4041.'
Han Fei had the talent of Resurrection but he could only use it once a night.
If possible, he wanted to try it on Feng Ziyu and see if he could send him away.
However, the prerequisite was that he had to make contact with the person. Therefore, he had to check out Room 4041 while he could log off.
When he opened the door and touched the doorknob, he already felt that something was wrong.
His palms were wet, and there were a few grains of white rice on them.
Entering the corridor, the entire fourth floor had an indescribable strangeness to it. Every house had a brazier in front of their door, and if one wanted to enter, they had to first step over the brazier.
However, there was no paper ash or paper money in the brazier. Instead, there were a lot of pictures that had been cut into pieces and tiny people that were woven from hair.
The long corridor looked normal, but when he ran, he felt that the ground was uneven, and the walls were crooked. It was like a tunnel that he could never run out of.
There were 3 '4's on the 4th floor. Han Fei did not want to stay here for too long but things did not go his way. He realized that to get to Room 4041, he had to go past Room 4044.
"Since I'm already being chased by the Soul Chaser, getting close to that room should be fine."
Han Fei's way of thinking was very simple.
Without hesitation, he rushed towards Room 4041. However, after taking 2 steps, he felt something was wrong.
The corridor appeared to be stretched infinitely. Han Fei ran 2 steps but his body only moved a short distance forward.
Han Fei shivered. He felt someone was staring at him. He lifted his head to look ahead. The red couplets on the doors looked like they were bleeding, like the long tongues of hanged ghosts.
"Where is that gaze coming from?"
Han Fei turned his gaze to Room 4044. The room was different from the other rooms. On the door was a headless door god that stood facing away from the corridor!
The Door Gods were used to deter thieves and evil spirits. A headless Door God looked very strange just by looking at it.
"I can't get any closer!"
Han Fei instinctively did not want to get too close to the door. However, the door behind him opened. The Soul Chaser had entered the 4th floor.
If he stayed where he was, he would definitely die. If he moved forward, there might be a 1% chance of survival. Han Fei could only choose the latter.
He sprinted down the twisted corridor. Even though he was already quite far away, he was still on the 4th floor. However, the headless door god was getting closer and closer to him.
"What could this door god be guarding?"
The door god in the red paper appeared to be stepping on a river of blood. Its arms seemed to be grasping something and its body was slowly turning.
The brazier at the door to Room 4044 trembled slightly. All the pictures inside the brazier were headless. This appeared to be some kind of hint.
With the Soul Chaser chasing after him, Han Fei got closer to Room 4044. The corridor before his eyes started to change.
More and more blood seeped out from the corners. It felt like the ground beneath Han Fei's feet was no longer cement but a puddle of blood.
The viscous reddish-brown liquid kept dripping down his face. The ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger.
"This is not a corridor, this is Hell's Gate."
Retreating would lead to death, so Han Fei could only move forward. However, when he was about to reach the door to Room 4044, pain shot through his limp arm again.
The blood lines started to contract. Black veins popped out from the butterfly-shaped wound on Han Fei's arm. Something was trying to tell Han Fei to run!
"Great Sin?"
When he was attacked by the Soul Chaser, the Great Sin had blocked the fatal blow for Han Fei. Now the Soul Chaser was giving Han Fei another warning.
Han Fei's running feet stopped. He turned to look at Room 4044. The door god who was facing away from the corridor had turned around. He was holding a large guillotine in his hand.
When the blade swung down, Han Fei had no time to hesitate. He chose to log out of the game immediately.
The blood froze the world. The blade almost landed on Han Fei's neck.
His consciousness started to leave the game. Inside the blood red city, Han Fei could hear a song that was laced with anger.
When Han Fei logged out of the game, the song confirmed Han Fei's location again. This greatly agitated the Soul Chaser.
Removing the gaming helmet, Han Fei collapsed inside the gaming hub. He tried to push the door open but he did not even have the strength to lift his arms.
This night was especially fulfilling for Han Fei. He was either running for his life or running for his life until he was forced to log out of the game.
'The next time I log in, it will be the scariest Soul Night in the past 14 years. I only have less than 24 hours to prepare.'
