In the center of the mist-shrouded town, the dim and elusive church seemed almost invisible, as if even the light of the sun couldn't penetrate the thick fog.
The church wasn't very large. A group of four hastened through the main hall with their lighting equipment and continued along the inner corridors. After searching for half an hour and circling three times, they still hadn't found the two missing people.
After half an hour, Feng Yi finally stopped walking, contemplating whether Xiu Yi and Red Ghost had experienced the same situation as Kevin, being in a space but unable to see each other.
He didn't want to resort to using the Third Rhythm to find them unless absolutely necessary, as doing so would only accelerate the breakdown of the space.
All along the way, Feng Yi paid attention to the ground and indeed saw footprints of the two in the dusty church, proving that Red Ghost and Xiu Yi had passed through this place and weren't far from the rest of the group. However, he couldn't pinpoint their exact location.
Bai Zhexian took out the wireless communicator again and tried to use it, but there was no response at all, as if the signals were being blocked here. He sighed helplessly and said, "Do we continue searching, or should we use 'that' method?"
"Everyone's been running around all day and is tired. Let's rest here for a while; I'll go out and have a look myself."
"Brother Feng, you alone...?" Xixi hesitated.
"Ah, there's no need for you to follow."
"Okay, I understand. Be careful, Brother Feng."
At that moment, Kevin said, "It's not good to go alone. Brother Feng, I'll go with you."
"Just rest here," Feng Yi said.
"But..."
Kevin wanted to say more, but suddenly Xixi tugged at his hand, "Don't be reckless. If we go too, we'll just burden Brother Feng."
Feng Yi walked through two long corridors with faltering steps until he reached a corner out of everyone's sight, where he finally stopped, bracing himself against the mottled wall with one hand. His pale face showed a trace of dishevelment, then he found a more comfortable angle and leaned against the wall without moving for a long time...
Is my time coming to an end as well... Haha, it really hasn't been easy to hold on till now. Who would expect anything different since he was always alone, strong, and never liked to let anyone see his weakness?
Struggling, Feng Yi took out pure water from the Space Crystal, drank a bottle, and then drenched himself from head to toe with another. His worsening condition seemed to show little sign of improvement.
"I really feel like just going to sleep," he muttered to himself, then continued on his way towards the direction he sensed...
In fact, he and Bai Zhexian had already sensed the faint presence of the two. The reason he sent Xixi and the others away was not only because of Xiu Yi and Red Ghost but also a third, negative magnetic field. It was as Bai Zhexian had mentioned to him before: in this empty dreamland, there was something inhuman, and on this, he and Bai Zhexian silently understood each other.
After sending the others away and resting for a bit, Feng Yi quickly began tracking the faint presence. Before long, he astonishingly found Xiu Yi and Red Ghost in a small room covered in cobwebs, but the door was locked from the inside.
"Xiu Yi, Red Ghost, is that you? Answer me."
Xiu Yi was most familiar with Feng Yi's voice, and moreover, he had a brief connection to Feng Yi's magnetic field in a dream. If the communication in the dream was a coincidence, then having the same dream as Red Ghost was absolutely not that simple.
Hearing Feng Yi's voice, the two were startled yet overjoyed. Xiu Yi hurriedly replied, "Brother Feng, is it really you?"
"Of course it is. How did you end up here?"
"Let's talk inside," Xiu Yi said without hesitation, he opened the door, closed it, and then relocked it, looking rather unsettled.
Feng Yi looked at Xiu Yi, then at Red Ghost, who had a deeply furrowed brow, and asked in confusion, "What exactly happened to you two?"
"Outside, outside there's a Devil..."
Xiu Yi briefly explained their experience to Feng Yi. At first, upon arriving in this space, nothing had happened. However, the rules of the space were too bizarre. First, came the nightmares, and then, having the same dream, which he found more and more eerie.
Soon, something wrong occurred within the church. It was a Devil he had seen in a horror video game, and unexpectedly, it had appeared in this Bizarre space. So, Xiu Yi took Red Ghost and ran to this little room.
This ordinary-looking room appeared unremarkable, but in reality, it was a save point from the video game he had played. The Devil dared not approach this place and would only linger outside the door for a while before leaving, which was why the two never left the room.
Hearing this, Feng Yi's heart sank. It was bad; Xiu Yi had associated this Bizarre space with the horror video game. He was utterly unaware that 'Bizarre' could turn the world of thoughts into reality. More concerning was that the world he imagined might have already become real.
Feng Yi immediately grasped the key point of what Xiu Yi had said: "You mentioned that Devil, how often does it appear? Is there a fixed schedule?"
Xiu Yi told Feng Yi there was no specific timing and that it was quite troublesome. Even Red Ghost, with his strength, couldn't handle it. Moreover, there was a special deathly gaze; anyone who saw its face and made eye contact for more than two seconds would die.
Furthermore, Xiu Yi stressed that the Devil only appeared in the worlds within the Middle Ages, and it might appear several times in a day.
Because they were contemplating how to escape this place, they hadn't stepped outside the door, thus were unsure of the current time. They could only judge by the surrounding environment.
