Chapter 358: Chapter 358: E-rank Main Quest Soul-returning Night!

The clanging of the Soul Bell in the corridor was more urgent than before, hinting at something that seemed to momentarily affect the Headless Door God.

As the sound of the Soul Bell grew louder, Han Fei felt the entire Death Building’s hallway had transformed.

From the murky mouths of each severed head, something was being muttered, as if reciting the name of the Door God. Strands of blood-red silk were drawn from the skulls, and the body of the Door God slowly transitioned from ethereal to tangible.

He did not seem like a god stepping out of the door, but rather a ghost trapped within it.

Blood Silk wrapped around his body, and the five fingers gripping the Beheading Saber solidified. Then, he dragged the massive saber, slowly turned around, and looked behind Han Fei.

"My head, my head..."

A voice rang out beside Han Fei, startling him.

Glancing sideways with the corner of his eye, Han Fei saw a chilling sight—a strand of Blood Silk emerging from a skull, trying to enter his brain through his ear.

"Your head isn’t with me!" Han Fei stepped back as the Door God raised the saber, not uttering a word, and swung his hand down with the blade!

A wind reeking of blood rushed into his nostrils, and Han Fei forced himself to open his eyes and watch the trajectory of the blade to dodge, but it was too quick.

Almost as soon as he saw the Door God’s arm falling, the Beheading Saber had already grazed his head and slashed towards his back!

Feeling a chill on his back, Han Fei heard something being severed.

"Is that Soul Chaser still not giving up?" Han Fei wanted to turn his head, but the Blood Silk of the Door God was right by his ear; any sudden movement, and the Blood Silk could pierce directly into his brain.

With less than two minutes left until the end of the Soul Chaser task, the building’s Soul Chasers were driven insane. It seemed that Han Fei’s soul was key to this ritual, an indispensable Sacrificial Offering that they must seize!

The Soul Bell shattered, blood flowed from Han Fei’s ears, and he temporarily lost his hearing, though he faintly sensed a hand reaching for his head!

His hair stood on end, and in the process of turning, his back of the head brushed against something.

This time different from before, he distinctly felt something deep within his Brain Sea being pulled away by a force, all his memories twisting into a rope, intertwining scenes of pain and pleasure from his past into a cord.

The rope of memories attached to the deepest part of the Brain Sea, tugged by an external force, stirred turmoil in Han Fei’s mind. The rope of memory gradually moved outward, slowly turning red as Han Fei’s deepest memories in the Brain Sea were all blood-red!

The pitch-black night was slowly dyed red. As the only Survivor of Happiness Orphanage, things Han Fei had deliberately forgotten with the help of his psychologist were resurfacing in his mind.

Before the bloodied memories emerged, his clear Brain Sea was already stained red. Shattered fragments surged into his mind, Han Fei’s pupils slowly constricted, and he held an unknown Rebirth Saber in his hand.

Ignoring the red Blood Silk of the Door God, he turned his head for the fourth time and stabbed backward with the saber in his hand.

The brilliant blade reflected a face streaked with blood tears. Han Fei saw a hand inscribed with Death Curses, and that hand’s palm bore a festering character for "soul."

At that moment, this hand pulled another Han Fei out of the back of his head, this newly drawn Han Fei vastly different from the previous ones, with blood oozing from his forehead and his face wearing a crazily exaggerated smile as if mocking the entire world.

"Is this really me?"

The Soul Chaser had never encountered such a situation before. He had hunted countless souls, and that hand covered in Death Curses could easily penetrate the bodies of the living and the memories of Fierce Ghosts, but on this day, he met a peculiar soul. That soul was actually laughing maniacally at him!

The Death Curses on his arm kept flowing. The Soul Chaser exerted all his strength, but still couldn’t drag out the laughing Han Fei. This soul seemed connected to something else, pressing down on the deepest red in his brain sea.

Han Fei was just as shocked as the Soul Chaser. Seeing the version of himself that seemed to suffer from a laughing disease in the back of his head, he inexplicably thought of the old lady from the Happiness Residental Community.

The memories of Old Lady Meng had been tampered with by the former Building Chief, Fu Sheng. When the death memories were triggered, a terrifying monster emerged from the benign and kind old woman’s cerebrum.

At that time, Han Fei had been terribly frightened; he had never imagined that one day he would see a similar scene on himself.

Compared to the monster at the back of the old woman’s head, the soul pulled from deep within his own mind was even more impactful.

The Soul Chaser had failed in his first attempt to pull, but he didn’t let go. When he was about to try for the second time, the extremely sharp Beheading Saber had already fallen!

The arm holding Han Fei’s soul was severed. In the instant that hand filled with Death Curses fell, Han Fei finally saw the face of the Soul Chaser!

Half of his face was covered in Death Curses and the character for "soul." The other half was that of the employee who went mad years ago!

A Butterfly Pattern spread from the corner of his eye into his mouth, turning him into a bona fide Monster, like a puppet being manipulated, his face full of pain, regret, and sorrow.

He had once slaughtered the Death Building community, and now he personally collected the souls of those people.

The saddest part was, even now he still didn’t know if what he had initially done was right or wrong.

Just as Han Fei saw the face of the Soul Chaser, the Death Curses on his body suddenly erupted. The half of the face covered in Death Curses and the character for "soul" quietly changed, daring to resemble Han Fei slightly.

But perhaps because the soul hadn’t been completely drawn out, the transformation of the Soul Chaser was interrupted halfway.

Under Han Fei’s gaze, the half of the Soul Chaser’s face that had begun to change emitted a painful screech, forcibly tearing itself from the Soul Chaser’s body, turning into three different Han Feis, and under a mass of Death Curses, they were dragged by an invisible power towards the top of the Death Building!

The three Han Feis were also covered in Death Curses, as if their bodies were wrapped in black chains, pierced by giant hooks, enduring unimaginable pain.

"You only stole the three souls and three spirits, Butterfly, and yet your Death Curse still can’t take away a living person’s soul?" the Soul Chaser’s mouth cracked open, he seemed to want to show a smile, the first time he had wanted to smile since being imprisoned in the Death Building for so long.

The Soul Chaser’s mouth opened, and Han Fei noticed that the Butterfly Pattern had even grown into the Soul Chaser’s mouth, his body inside and out completely painted with the eerie Butterfly Pattern.

The state of the Soul Chaser was very wrong; after he went mad, all the Death Curses in his body were triggered.

In his last moments of clarity, he looked at Han Fei, "Soul-returning Night has begun, summon back your lost soul, help me... kill the Butterfly!"

After saying these words, the Soul Chaser’s body was torn apart, his soul falling like snowflakes, disappearing again within the corridor.
