In the midst of the audience's exclamations of amazement, Benjamin in the video began to take action.
He walked forward at times, stepped back at others, and sometimes stopped completely in place, adjusting his position according to the sound of the high heels.
After a series of careful maneuvers, Benjamin finally succeeded in reaching the front door once again.
"Everyone, if you're just watching this part through the video, you definitely won't feel how terrifying it truly is. But honestly, when I was playing it myself, that erratic sound of high heels really filled the air with overwhelming pressure!"
Benjamin continued, his tone carrying a trace of excitement and thrill.
"It was seriously fucking stimulating and so damn satisfying. That feeling of walking right on the edge between life and death made my whole body feel refreshed. I think you guys should try it out too!"
"Heh, trying it? No way!"
"Stimulating? You're a damn pervert!"
"I'm the type who's already scared to death by the earlier levels. You want me to play this?"
"I'll stick to watching. My life is more important!"
"This guy Benjamin seems off somehow. I'm about to piss myself from fear, yet he's saying it feels good?"
"This person is probably a masochist."
The viewers also realized that Benjamin's personality seemed quite different from normal. He acted like a total masochist!
But then again, if he weren't a masochist, he probably wouldn't have been able to clear this game anyway!
With a creak, he pushed open the front door once more, and Benjamin entered the fifth loop!
At this moment, the originally pitch-black corridor lit up again.
However, the lights had changed from their original white color to a dark red.
This enveloped the entire corridor in an eerie red glow.
The scenic and portrait paintings that had been hanging on the walls had all changed as well. Their content had transformed into strange, eerie eyes.
Every eye stared fixedly at the player's face from different directions!
Wherever the player walked, the pupils inside those eyes followed!
This suddenly gave the originally eerie and sinister corridor a Cthulhu-like feeling.
"Ugh ah ugh ah!"
At the same time, the wife's crying echoed through the corridor once more. This time the voice was much stronger and more intense than before, as if exploding right beside your ear!
"Ugh ah hehehehe"
As she cried, the ghost wife's voice suddenly shifted into a strange, eerie laugh!
"Damn it! This is way too creepy!"
"And those eyes are making my scalp go numb!"
"Fuck, it looks ready to hit full horror mode at any second!"
The sudden shift in atmosphere startled the audience.
If the surrounding environment before had only been subtly building tension indirectly, then in this loop the terror was jumping straight into their faces!
"This fifth loop is where I died the most times, even more than the previous one. This is also the final level!"
Even the masochistic Benjamin now spoke in a suddenly hurried tone.
"In this level the wife has become extremely crazy. If you stay in the corridor even a little too long!"
"Or if you run straight for the front door, she'll rush out and take you down!"
"So you have to choose to hide!"
Benjamin said this as he sprinted forward.
His urgent movements made the audience's hearts race in fear.
"So how exactly do you get past this level?"
"Yeah, the corridor is only this small. There's basically no place to hide at all!"
"Damn, damn it. Just watching the video has my heart in my throat!"
Under the audience's tense gazes, Benjamin ran into the bathroom.
"Here we run to the bathroom first. Then you can see that the bathtub is filled with a tub full of bloody water!"
Following Benjamin's line of sight, the audience saw it too. The bathtub that had been completely empty in the previous loops was now indeed filled with bloody water, and the blood was even continuously seeping out.
It looked incredibly thick and viscous.
At the same time the audience guessed it. Could the hiding method be...
"We are going to hide inside this bloody water now to avoid the wife's pursuit!"
Sure enough, Benjamin said tensely, and then he really dove headfirst into the bathtub, lying down completely to make sure not a single part of his body was exposed!
"Holy shit, he's really going all in!"
"Badass! But it looks so disgusting!"
"Damn, soaking your entire body in bloody water. What does that even feel like!"
The audience subconsciously felt repulsed. Because it was first-person perspective, they could imagine themselves being wrapped by the endless bloody water.
However, that sensation was far less intense than what Benjamin experienced while actually playing.
The moment Benjamin lay down, the haptic suit's capabilities were pushed to the limit. The viscous, pungent smell of blood along with the cold enveloping sensation of the bloody water around him were all perfectly recreated.
As Benjamin body fully submerged into the bathtub.
The eerie laughter of the female ghost grew closer and closer.
Then the audience saw an abnormally tall ghostly figure slowly appear beside the bathtub.
It twitched as it poked its head out and looked around left and right.
