"I can help you find the head, I know where it is." Han Fei offered his bargaining chip again. Back at the Ziggurat, the door god had promised to fulfill Han Fei's wish in exchange for Han Fei's help. This made Han Fei's mind light up.
The bloody head on the door god's shoulder did not say anything. It used its bloodstained eyes to stare at Han Fei like it was trying to see through Han Fei.
"I really can help you."
"Did my head beg you in the same way?" The rotten mouth suddenly uttered these words.
Han Fei had no idea what the door god meant but he nodded anyway.
"I knew it was looking for me." The door god used the head's mouth to laugh. "Actually, I should thank the person who chopped off my head. If not for him, I wouldn't have been born. The reason why I asked you for the location of the head is not because I want it to come back. I want to kill it completely. "
"What do you mean?"
"This body has given birth to a new consciousness and that is me. Now I am the door god of the Ziggurat. That head only has my memories from the past. " The door god's body was merging with the door of Room 4044. "I don't need you to help me find the head, I only need you to hide my existence and lead me to it."
"Okay, no problem." Han Fei answered without hesitation.
"We'll talk about that after you survive tonight. The fact that you're chosen by the soul chaser means that you're one of its choices." The head on the door god's neck leaned forward. He reached out to touch the human head.
"One of its choices? Door God, I've just been captured, tonight I need to … "Han Fei finally found a 'person' to communicate with. He was like a drowning man clutching at a tree branch by the shore.
"I can't tell you, I can only tell you that both the living and the dead will appear inside the building tonight. The living will remember that they're still alive, they'll hide at home to sleep but the dead will forget that they're already dead. They'll repeat the events that happened before they died. If you wish to survive tonight, you'd better stay close to the living and stay away from the dead. " The Door God's body was about to merge with Room 4044. The head on his neck looked at Han Fei with a ghost smile.
Han Fei had a feeling that the door god had discovered something in his mind because the door god's attitude had changed drastically. Initially, Han Fei was just an ant in the door god's eyes, but now he was valuable enough to be used.
"Is that all?"
"You'd better make a move as soon as possible. Your soul has probably been cursed by the Death Curse of the Ziggurat. As time passes, they will slowly forget that they are just a part of your soul and start to develop their own consciousness, just like me and my head." The head on the Door God's neck showed a sinister smile. "My head wants to find its body and control itself again, but I want to kill my head and let it exist."
"They will have their own consciousness?" Han Fei realized he had truly underestimated the difficulty of this Grade E Mission. The warnings given by the system were only a small part of it, there was still a large part that the system did not mention!
"Of course, you'd better make a move as soon as possible." The Door God's hand grabbed the head on his neck and pulled it down. The long blood vessels slowly retracted into his body. "I'll tell you one last thing, I saw one of your three souls run into Room 4064."
“4064？” Han Fei lifted his head to look but all he saw was the wall returning to normal. "How did you see that?"
"Soon you'll be able to see those things. You're currently in a state where you're on the brink of death. Tonight, you'll be able to see things that you've never seen before, like the Soul Chaser. But you have to be careful. You can see but once you cross that threshold, you'll never be able to return. " The Door God's body had completely merged with Room 4044. The head in his hand was slowly changing shape.
"On the brink of death? Then, before a living person dies, at the moment when their consciousness dissipates, will they be the same as me right now? " Han Fei kept his eyes on the Door God. He still found the Door God's tone strange, like he was hiding something. "Door God, you seem to be very interested in living things?"
"Actually, I've always liked to communicate with people."
"Like it?"
"Among the skulls on the floor, is there one that isn't a human head?"
"That's true."
The conversation between Han Fei and the Door God was heavy with Ziggurat, it was definitely not a normal conversation.
"Door God, can you tell me what's inside Room 4044? Perhaps I can go through the door of Room 4044 … "
Before Han Fei could finish, the bloody head was crushed by the Door God. It dissolved into blood vessels and melted into the door. It was as if it was never there in the first place. The head returned to the heart of the door.
'Is it gone?' Han Fei took a deep breath. His heart that had been hanging in his throat finally relaxed. He then realized his back was soaked in cold sweat and his shirt stuck to his skin.
What kind of game was this? To be able to survive for 3 minutes and hover on the edge of death more than 10 times, it would be strange if the player did not cherish real life.
'Room 4064, one of my souls has entered the 6th floor?' Han Fei glanced at the mission interface. He thought he only needed to stay for 3 hours after completing a mission but to his surprise, when he looked at his character status, he saw a notification — The player is currently in a special state and cannot exit the game. '
Suppressing the urge to curse, Han Fei immediately headed to the 6th floor.
'Looks like the exit button won't light up until I find the missing 3 souls and 3 spirits.'
Even though Han Fei's expression and gaze showed that he was about to curse, his mind was still very clear.
At least this mission reminded him that if his memory or soul was stolen by a ghost from the cryptic world, then he would not be able to log off with an incomplete body.
Han Fei's nerves were stretched taut, he had never done anything so seriously before. He could not use his strongest skill when he logged off.
After the Door God returned to the room, the corridor returned to normal. It looked like a normal staircase but there were some human skulls left on the ground. They looked like white lanterns that had been stepped on.
Han Fei did not dare to waste any more time. He hid the Blade of Rebirth, avoided the Soul Chaser and entered the safe corridor.
But before he could walk up, the slightly ear-piercing mournful music came down from upstairs.
The melody that everyone inside the building could hear mixed with the singing that only Han Fei could hear. After a while, Han Fei felt like the two matched quite well.
