Mental and spiritual energy, intuitively speaking, are like a magnetic field, a radio wave; when it touches you, it often manifests as hallucinations but never interferes with the real world.

Everyone grew up influenced by materialistic ideology, and they were unlikely to easily believe in ghosts and spirits, but they had indeed just heard a series of noises that could not possibly be made by human effort, which deeply furrowed Kevin's brow... If he had heard it alone, it might have been a hallucination, but the fact that all three of them heard it suggested that something unusual might really exist.

Bai Zhexian said, "What's the matter, are you scared?"

"Ha, I'm not scared by just a little noise." Although Kevin was indeed startled by the darkness earlier, it stemmed from a fear of the unknown; after all, he had experience in tough situations, and besides, he had two strong partners by his side.

Seeing this, Bai Zhexian slightly nodded; he could sense that Kevin was not bluffing. Normally, such incidents would be insignificant, but their current situation was anything but normal. Being in the Alternate Space, "bizarre" could turn internal fears into reality, so fear was the biggest hidden danger in the team; it was crucial to understand Kevin's condition.

Their current situation indicated that they were in the dream world he had initially experienced, leading them to conclude that this space had transformed from his dream world into reality. Bai Zhexian said, "If you're not scared, that's good. Face the bizarre without fear and it defeats itself. We should first find your companion."

So they swiftly continued along the corridor stairs to the third floor; as for which room Xixi was in, he somewhat forgot, but he could vaguely remember the general direction. Soon enough, under Bai Zhexian's guidance, they came upon an operating room, a somewhat spine-chilling operating room.

Inside, the operating room's lights flickered dimly, with bloodstained walls that unavoidably led one's thoughts astray. What was even stranger was that this long-abandoned hospital should have had its power cut off; or could it be that surgical backup lighting equipment was installed?

Logically, Xixi should be in the room next door, but they did not hear her response even when they walked into the room. With various doubts, the three walked through the side door of the operating room and entered a room filled with various medical instruments, and they suddenly saw her...

Xixi was half-leaning on a dusty bed, asleep. As Kevin softly called out, Xixi immediately awoke, opening her bleary, big eyes and looking at everyone...

"Kevin... Oh? And Brother Feng too, you..."

"Xixi, why are you sleeping here?" What Kevin really wanted to ask was why she had come to sleep in this eerie and terrifying hospital. It would make anyone's skin crawl, let alone Xixi.

"Why not sleep here? But why is Brother Feng here?"

"Heh heh, I came here looking for you. This exploration mission has gone beyond normal limits; we'll find Xiu Yi and the others and immediately return."

"I understand." Xixi agreed, seemingly contemplating something, then suddenly, the surroundings prompted her to let out a cry of alarm, "Where... where is this place?"

Bai Zhexian and Feng Yi exchanged glances; Bai Zhexian gestured for them to remain quiet and answered first, "This is a hospital, as a healthcare worker, you shouldn't have forgotten that you came here voluntarily looking for medical supplies."

"I did look for medical supplies, but how do you know that?"

"We'll talk about that later. First, answer my question, Xixi, how did you come to this hospital?"

Xixi pondered for a while and explained to them that she had never been to this hospital before. However, during the period she was looking for Kevin, she accidentally cut her calf and carried some strong but potentially harmful medication on her, which, being medically trained, she was most sensitive to. So, she wandered around and found a small clinic.

During the rest of the time, she unknowingly fell asleep and had a terrible nightmare in which she and the Red Ghost were tied to a gallows, and somehow she had slept until now. One thing she was certain of was that the room she was in was definitely not this bloodstained operating room.

Bai Zhexian listened carefully while lightly tapping his folding fan in his hand. Once Xixi finished speaking, he said, "You all wait here for a moment; Brother Feng and I need to talk."

Once Feng Yi was led outside, his previously relaxed expression became mysteriously serious.

"I suppose you've noticed something unusual too?"

"Indeed, according to what was said before, this world replicates everything exactly as in Brother Bai's old dream; perhaps there exists some unknown force disrupting this space and gradually guiding it to an unknown convergence with your dream."

Bai Zhexian nodded gravely and said, "What concerns me is that girl Xixi."

"Is there something unusual about Xixi?"

"Yes." Bai Zhexian explained to Feng Yi that he distinctly remembered in his dream that Xixi did not go to some small abandoned clinic to find medication but came directly here, which further confirmed that some force was gradually guiding them. However, what Bai Zhexian found puzzling was that while Kevin had been scared, Xixi remained unharmed, which he just couldn't fathom.
