Annan didn't walk too fast.
He was keenly alert, watching his surroundings at all times, prepared for some monster to suddenly spring out of a corner...
He certainly hadn't forgotten that "the dead" was the keyword for this instance.
And the influence that had brought him to this instance was the remnants of a death god...
But to Annan's slight relief—and a bit of disappointment—by the time he reached the end, he hadn't seen any corpse jumping out shouting "Super Surprise," making Annan seem somewhat timid.
However, Annan didn't have any particular reaction to it.
He just stepped onto the staircase at the end... and climbed up, one level after another.
About seven or eight flights up, he finally saw light.
But the moment Annan lifted his head— he saw something pitch-black, blocking a patch of light at the only bright exit!
It seemed like someone was standing in the doorway, silently watching Annan as he advanced upward!
