Right after when the elevator descended, Ngoc is nowhere to be seen and all was left was her phone in which the haunted woman that killed Son before called. Left with no choice, Trang plays the game with courage. The woman laughs at Trang due to her increasing fear. Trang then falls unconsciously to the ground. During her sleep, she dreams about Son attacking her mother while at home. Ngoc, who is revealed to be alive, awakens up with Trang only to find themselves inside the otherworld.
