"Right there, go inside."
During their conversation, the two had already entered the room, one after the other. As soon as they stepped in, they could see that the interior decoration was indeed out of sync with human styles, especially the room size, which was much larger than the rooms usually inhabited by people.
Apart from that, there was nothing special. Feng Yi had already explained everything necessary on the way here.
"Brother Bai, should we enter now?"
"We can."
Both stepped through the doorway at the same time, and without warning, their heads spun dizzyingly, and a wave of spatial fluctuation immediately gave them a sense of falling into a haziness. A moment later, the previous light gate had completely disappeared, replaced by three doors lying ahead, each door inlaid with secret patterns swirling with a blue halo like a magic circle, incredibly beautiful.
"Brother Feng, is this the place?"
"I have never been here either." Feng Yi slowly shook his head and fell into brief contemplation. After all, in his previous explorations, he had never dared to venture into the Door of Nothingness lightly, yet he could make some personal speculations, "I think this place should be considered a transfer station connecting two spaces."
Bai Zhexian rhythmically tapped his folding fan in his palm, speaking gravely, "Do you mean we have to pass through these three doors ahead?"
"Maybe. I have another speculation. Assuming the dimension and time we originally occupied overlaps with this place, this could be a gate connecting two worlds. Of course, we might also already be in a different space-time. Should we try to walk through?"
At this moment, Bai Zhexian couldn't help but treat this matter seriously, as he had never seen such a bizarre phenomenon before, pondering and said, "Brother Feng, do you think this might be related to the three seals of Red Cloud, White Cloud, and Yellow Path that you mentioned?" Since the Magic Crystal civilization proposed three seals, and there were three doors ahead, it prompted Bai Zhexian to consider this connection.
"It's hard to say. I personally don't think it's that simple. We can try entering one of these doors."
"Hehe, Brother Feng, which door do you think is the best to enter?"
"I eat with my right hand, so I choose the one on the right."
Damn, decided just like that? Bai Zhexian felt he was at a disadvantage. Once they entered through the right door, good luck seemed likely to favor Feng Yi, although it could be categorized as psychological effect, Bai Zhexian still spoke up, "Coincidentally, I eat with my left hand, so I'll bet on the right."
"Eh, why choose the right if you use your left hand?"
"Of course, to walk on the path of others and leave them no road to take."
"Then I will walk on your path and choose the left." Indeed, it was a blocking move, but Feng Yi immediately switched his choice to the left.
After a brief silence, Bai Zhexian chuckled lightly, breaking the silence first, "Since we're here, why not settle the choice of which door to enter by playing rock-paper-scissors?"
"That was exactly my intention."
Rock-paper-scissors, a game everyone understood—Feng Yi often played it by himself as a child. Though simple, its difficulty lies in mastering the essence of changing tactics according to the opponent's moves, demanding quick reflexes.
Young Feng Yi had even developed a set of phrases for it, only used when facing an equally skilled opponent...
'Ding steel, hey, two change thunder, three unlucky, four glass hammer, five bumps, six cheers, seven point to heaven, eight point to earth, nine touch nose, ten fart'
Each time they threw a gesture, they had to recite a line.
But as seasoned experts against each other, Bai Zhexian could also sense that Feng Yi was no easy opponent, and his expression grew more solemn, leading them to start their duel.
The duel quickly evolved into a prolonged battle. It's well-known that rock-paper-scissors often starts with the fists, changing gestures rapidly between scissors or paper, or keeping it the same, while observing and quickly adjusting according to the opponent's moves.
However, both of them were notoriously sneaky and proficient in this technique, usually, when such people meet, it becomes a contest of who can be more underhanded. As a result, these two ended up at an impasse, confident in their rock-paper-scissors skills, neither able to definitively best the other.
Considering this couldn't go on forever, they decided after a discussion to go through the middle door, thus resolving the twisted choice of their character and deepening their pseudo friendship—it was indeed a case of killing two birds with one stone.
As they stepped through the middle door together, the previously empty surroundings suddenly dazzled brilliantly. They found themselves floating in the void, where the direct influence of the four-dimensional space caused their senses to reach an unprecedented height; among the stars, Feng Yi felt he could teleport instantaneously, traveling anywhere he wished.
In the vacuum where speech was impossible, Feng Yi gestured for Bai Zhexian to grab onto him, as he had sensed Kevin's familiar aura not far away, shimmering within a door drenched in endless haloes.
If his guess was correct, Xiu Yi might also be inside a nearby glowing door, which connected to various extraordinary worlds within different dimensions.
At this instant, Feng Yi's mental state was incredibly energized, as if the aberrant conditions of his body had also lessened considerably.
Bai Zhexian felt this even more, his folding fan swinging with a sense of ethereal detachment as if seeing through the mundane world—if this were the grand universe, he was ready to explore it, having wandered the paths of the world half-drunk, unimpeded anywhere.
Swoosh...
Both of their forms vanished, reappearing instantly in the room where Kevin had first been, both staggering and nearly collapsing to the floor despite their agility.
Unexpectedly, just a second ago he had felt so vital, able to go wherever he wished, and now, the sensory experiences of being in four-dimensional space had completely disappeared, both mentally and physically. In an instant, the once spirited Feng Yi was knocked back to his original state, like a nearly dead fish.
The situation was even worse for Bai Zhexian, whose fan flew out of his hand. Thankfully, he didn't fly out. Described in one word: abrupt. Falling from the four-dimensional space was like a vigorous person suddenly afflicted by paralysis, unaccustomed and inevitably falling.
"I can sense Kevin's aura, very close to us."
Bai Zhexian nodded gravely, "I sensed that Kevin you're talking about too, but... his aura is somewhat abnormal."
"What's abnormal about it?"
"It's hard to explain; his presence is faint yet pronounced, near yet far, as if disturbed by some negative magnetic field. We must hurry."
The room, filled with a Renaissance aura, resounded instantly with the banging noises of the door, and strangely, despite searching, they saw no sign of Kevin. Nevertheless, Feng Yi and Bai Zhexian could clearly sense that Kevin was nearby, contradicting norms; they had clearly followed this not-so-long distance and searched, yet they never actually saw him.
"Brother Bai, being an expert in this field, do you know what's happening now?"
Bai Zhexian signaled for Feng Yi to be silent, then closed his eyes to carefully track the surrounding auras, his twitching eyelids sensing something, and then he opened his eyes and said, "Brother Feng, don't you think Kevin's position has changed again?"
"Indeed, his aura hasn't seemed to shift, yet it seems to appear back in the room we were just in, or perhaps it's this room itself that's problematic." Having said this, Feng Yi suddenly called out for Kevin a few times, urging a swift response, but just as they suspected, Kevin couldn't hear them.
Although they were simultaneously coherent with the timeline, Kevin was engulfed in darkness, the faint light excepted, illuminating only a short distance as if the entire room, or even the world, was shrouded in dark clouds. This made Kevin increasingly anxious and panicked, everything seemed abnormal and desperate, as if he had fallen into a demonic abyss where he would never see the light again, and when he fell asleep, it would be time for the demon to awaken and rush toward him with the speed of the wind.
