After Ren Ye came back to his senses, the others prepared to withdraw.
More and more burning corpses gathered around them, coming in an endless stream. After several consecutive battles, they were already at the end of their rope and truly had no strength left to stay and investigate.
Ren Ye collected Brother Hong's half skull and sealed it inside the Nether River Treasure Vase, while Tan Pang and Yin Tiger picked up the few Gold Coins Brother Hong had left behind, along with an Autobiography Fragment, before rejoining everyone.
Once the five had gathered, they quickly fought their way toward the top floor.
This time, the Tiangong Fire inside the building had gone out, and everyone was together, so they made swift progress. Before long, they arrived outside Room 3999.
In the corridor, the Blazing Sun in Room 3999 had also gone out. Ren Ye and Yin Tiger guarded either end of the corridor, holding back the burning corpses, while Xiao Shuai, Tan Pang, and Old Cadre drew out the Song Family's three Soul Bodies together.
"Hum!"
When the Song Family's three Soul Bodies appeared, the door to Room 3999 suddenly glimmered faintly. A teeth-grating creak followed, and the door opened slightly, revealing a narrow gap.
"Go!"
Xiao Shuai pulled the door open and called out urgently.
The others quickly entered at his words. Ren Ye, who stayed behind until last, closed the door himself.
The room was pitch-black. They could not see their hands in front of their faces.
The five had barely come to a stop when the Star Gate's notification rang in their ears.
``` [Congratulations. You have successfully escorted the Song Family's three Soul Bodies into Room 3999. You have completed the trial of Carnival Night and may perform "Rewind" here.]
