About this, Feng Yi had some insights of his own. In short, Xixi's personality was outwardly gentle but inwardly tough, with great courage. Perhaps it was for this reason, since Xixi's heart was clear and unobstructed like paper, uninvaded by external evil and undisturbed by "Bizarre," that Bizarre could distort space, but the strange phenomena couldn't interfere with Xixi herself. It was just like the world they had left; although the three of them were in that space, the events Kevin had mentioned earlier did not occur around them.

Bai Zhexian understood and advised against revealing the truth to Xixi and Kevin to prevent them from overthinking. As a wandering bard, he feared neither ghosts nor gods, his mind clear as a mirror—not to mention that Feng Yi had a natural aura that kept evil spirits away and he also possessed the understanding of the Blank Paper Realm's Third Rhythm, which could not be tainted by external evil.

"Let's go inside."

After a brief exchange, they decided to find them and leave immediately; the empty corridor was soon replaced by crisp footsteps...

No sooner had they stepped into the operating room than the sky darkened visibly... With the abrupt change, the four of them froze in place. What was going on?

Seeing the puzzled look in Feng Yi's eyes, Bai Zhexian silently shook his head... To be honest, he had never seen anything like this in his dreams.

At that moment, banging noises of doors being slammed came from the end of the lower floor's corridor again. Soon, a series of footsteps raced up towards them from the second floor, their pace rapid. Being inside the Bizarre operating room, everything felt even more chilling and eerie; even Feng Yi found it strange, as there was clearly no other living thing around them, but the scariness surpassed anything prior.

"Let's talk inside."

Bai Zhexian quickly locked the door. Before he could speak, the urgent footsteps had already charged up to the third floor, heading straight towards them, thud, thud, thud—clear footsteps resonating in their ears.

But in this empty building, aside from the three of them, there was clearly nothing else. Why then could they hear the footsteps of 'people'? The eeriness was at par with any horror movie.

Feng Yi's voice remained calm, "Xixi, Kevin, do you hear that?"

"Of course!" Kevin answered without hesitation.

Xixi pointed in a direction, "The sound seems to be coming from over there."

Listening intently, they could easily discern that something was banging open doors one by one, panicked yet rushed, and then quickly closing them, as if searching for something. The sound was getting increasingly closer to their room; in just another ten seconds or so, it might reach them.

Feng Yi, courageous and seasoned in life and death, was unafraid of the living; how could he fear these? Often people would say the Revenge Shadow Rider was invincible. He didn't know what kind of hero he was, but today he wanted to encounter these so-called demons and ghosts.

"Why did Brother Bai lock the door?"

"Of course it's..."

Before Bai Zhexian could finish, Feng Yi had already pushed the door open, asking everyone to wait inside for a bit.

With a mix of curiosity and disdain, accompanied by a creaking sound, the quiet corridor seemed to fall silent the instant Feng Yi opened the door.

"Hmm, I do feel some kind of cold magnetic field not too far from here," Feng Yi murmured to himself before striding forward. Inside the pitch-dark corridor, he followed the footsteps from the third floor non-stop into the location on the second floor where the doors had first started banging, which seemed the most intensely atmospheric.

Using the barely visible light, Feng Yi could faintly see the door number 444 marked above the door, an auspicious number that had decayed over many years.

Boom!

Accompanying a kick, the door collapsed with a loud bang, and with it fell something covered in iron chain patterns, the nature of which was unknown...

Immediately following was a pungent smell hitting the face, and if one were to describe the interior scene with any words, it would definitely be utterly terrible. Skeletal remains littered every corner of the room, and dried organs, shriveled from who knows when, were scattered everywhere, hinting at a harbinger of great misfortune.

In such a spine-chilling scene, anyone would probably have goosebumps, but Feng Yi, seemingly oblivious, walked straight in, aided by the flickering lights, and swept his gaze across the entire scene.

Boom!

The door he had initially kicked flew open in an instant, and stood up on its own as if pushed by some force, completely locking Feng Yi inside, sinking into silence with only the flickering lights continuously twinkling...

Under the light, the walls of the room began to change color visibly fast, from blotchy gray to blood red, and those dried organs began to slowly wriggle as well.

"Are those really wriggling... or am I also affected by the aura, seeing things?" Feng Yi habitually stroked his chin, his brain racing, "If what I see is real, then perhaps the void space initially presented a false state, which slowly evolved into reality as time went on."

At that moment, from nowhere, a vase shattered as it hit the floor, and the broken ceramics splashed right where Feng Yi was standing. As he looked down, the ceramics started to transform into a bloody head, a bizarre smile emerging at the corners of its mouth. That smile seemed like a mix of laughing and crying, ugly yet insincere, anxious yet gleeful, baffled yet sorrowful, generating an extremely alien feeling.

Then, along with the entire space, it all transformed, turning into a continuously wriggling intestine, making Feng Yi feel as if he was enveloped in organs, the constant hot, bloody temperature hitting his face, rendering him momentarily stunned...

Ha, who did they think Feng Yi was?

Seeing the situation, Feng Yi did not hesitate to grab the bloody head in his palm and scrutinize it closely, indifferent to the head's grimacing and screaming like a ghoul...

Humph! Did they think such things could frighten Feng Yi? Merely a coward's hiding place. If this space was filled with bizarre phenomena that defied logic, then he would break the bizarre—with the "Blank Paper Realm."

Suddenly, Feng Yi's awe-inspiring aura spread across the surroundings, a positive magnetic field mixed with a violent breath. The wriggling room immediately transformed into a subspace blueprint spreading far into the distance...

The original bloody ambiance disappeared, the scenery vanished, and the illusions vanished too... replaced by a digital-like subspace blueprint, though the "Blank Paper Realm," an absolute field, couldn't reach the heights of the "Third Rhythm," it allowed the mind and body to enter a unified ethereal state, where cells, the human body, cosmic space-time and even our present dimensions were nothing more than electromagnetic philosophical codes.

In that moment, the space radiating from Feng Yi seemed to morph into a dimensional format, forming a "blank paper plane" composed of countless electronic equations, spreading to the edge of dimensions...

Even the door that had closed itself silently returned to its original place, quietly lying there, everything around it seemingly an illusion, yet also seeming real and tangible.

Having restored the realm to normalcy not too long after, the surrounding scenes slowly began to wriggle again—this... was already beyond Feng Yi's understanding.

Just then, a brilliant light suddenly filled the entire room, and in an instant, the sound of a music, like roaring thunder, entered the ears.

Dang...

Wherever the golden light passed, all illusions turned to ash, the ray of light exploding like life itself, instantly illuminating the surroundings, causing the previously flickering light to dim completely.

"This is the 'taming' melody of the Demon-Breaking Tune," whispered Bai Zhexian as he walked in, "Brother Feng just forcefully suppressed the evil spirit, more powerful than this melody, but unable to completely eradicate it. This place's evil capacity to turn illusion into reality is all around bizarre, and it's not suitable for us to linger here."
