As for what the inner world is, it is a misalignment of dimensional dimensions. In the game he recognized, the space-time where we humans normally live is considered the outer world, while the scenery of the middle world is not a place where humans can survive, filled with blood and monsters everywhere. As for the inner world, it can be described entirely as hell.

Of course, Kevin also pointed out that the flow of time here is different from reality, a day in reality is only a few hours here. When the church bells ring, the sky would quickly darken, and the dimensions of the dimensions would also switch rapidly at the moment the bells sound.

In the midst of his thoughts, Feng Yi suddenly realized a problem. Earlier, when he and Bai Zhexian were in the hospital building and the sky darkened, was it influenced by Xiu Yi's thought world, causing monsters to appear? But since Kevin was merely a thought, only the second floor of the entire hospital underwent a strange change. If the space imagined by Xiu Yi was infested with monsters and only here was safe, then as soon as the bells rang, monsters would swarm the surroundings.

Just then, a sudden church bell rang by his ear, startling everyone awake, even Feng Yi felt an involuntary chill in his heart.

"Stay here and don't move."

According to Xiu Yi's description, the ringing of the bells signified the switch of world dimensions. Thinking of this, without another word, Feng Yi quickly opened the door and rushed towards the location of Bai Zhexian and the others.

Feng Yi's physical condition was terrible now; by the time he ran to the room, his complexion was already very unsightly.

Xixi, who had a background in medical care, instantly noticed something was off, "Brother Feng, are you okay, is there any discomfort?"

"Brother Feng, you..."

"No need to say more, everyone follow me now."

"I'll just pack up." Xixi decided to pack the grilled meats into her pouch.

"..."

Feng Yi stood still, as if tacitly agreeing without refusal. His spiritual perception was wholly locked onto the changes around him, his eyebrows furrowing instantly as he said, "No need to pack, we are leaving now."

He keenly sensed the abnormalities around him, the changes in the magnetic field and the boding of ill fate in the air, wondering where it originated from.

Xixi hesitated a moment, but seeing Brother Feng speaking so firmly must mean he had his reasons. Without hesitation, she quickly grabbed her backpack, turned, and left with decisive steps.

"Hey, hey, it can't be that bad... It won't take much time."

Kevin felt it was a pity, yet while speaking, his actions were not slow as he quickly caught up with the others, picking up a half-cooked chicken leg to chew on as he went. The taste wasn't bad, just a little undercooked, probably medium-rare. A traveler used to roughing it outdoors wouldn't mind such things.

On their way back, the environment they were in was undergoing a silent transformation; the mottled walls and decorations, and everything else that could be seen, were visibly fading, weathering, and crumbling at a rapid pace.

The originally whitewashed walls looked as if soaked in long stagnant and filthy water, rapidly decaying and rotting, turning a rust color... Even the intact doors and windows were deforming, disintegrating, and turning to piles of rust in this process.

In front of the empty floor clock, for some unknown time, a decayed corpse had been hung, and countless cockroaches and insects scurried back and forth on the ground... The withered fountain in the center of the hall was revived at this moment, water flowing like a column—more precisely, it resembled blood, or something of rust that was particularly unnerving.

The pungent smell nearly caused Xixi to vomit on the spot. Granted she was quite brave, but as a girl, she inevitably felt uncomfortable at such a sight.

Their quick footsteps intersected through several long corridors, seemingly stepping on something bloody underfoot—sticky and gooey—until they finally reached a room deep in the church after not too long. The inside and outside of this room added up to no more than a few dozen square meters, and the interior environment was somewhat better than the outside.

Xixi didn't even bother to greet Xiu Yi or the Red Ghost as she entered; she simply began to retch violently. Fortunately, she had been hungry all day and hadn't eaten anything, otherwise her meal from the previous night might have been vomited out along with everything else.

Kevin also passed through the door with a lingering fear, constantly looking outside, feeling a wave of nausea.

"Heh, you call yourself a bounty hunter with that weak stomach?" Feng Yi mocked, recalling his days at Colonial Planet 103, where he had eaten much worse than this; such scenes were minor to him.

Neither Bai Zhexian nor Red Ghost seemed to find anything peculiar.

"This... what the hell is this thing, it's disgusting." Kevin took a while to recover before he finally greeted the two with joy.

"Captain, how are you guys here? We've been looking so hard for you. If it weren't for Brother Feng, we might never have met again."

Xiu Yi was well aware of what Kevin meant, and shaking his head, he explained their current situation to the group. He declared that this bizarre world, in fact, had three time dimensions: an outer world, which operated on rules very similar to our regular space-time.

Next was the middle world, where everyone currently was. In this world, devils already existed. As for the inner world, it was better left unseen; based on the changes in the walls outside, one could roughly distinguish the differences between the outer, middle, and inner worlds.

In short, the walls of the outer world looked normal, but the middle world walls would start to show a rust-like color, as if all living beings would decay in this world. As for the inner world, the sky and earth, along with everything you could see, were stained with blood. So, the current situation wasn't too bad. Aside from waiting here for the loop to pass the inner world and return to the outer world, there didn't seem to be a better way to leave this place.

Bai Zhexian sighed lightly, "Kid, it looks like you're the one who's unaware of the situation."

"Me? Unaware?" Xiu Yi pointed to his nose, confident that he, who arrived in this world before the other four, understood its rules better.

Without hiding anything — as there was no point in doing so anymore — Bai Zhexian frankly informed the two of all the intelligence he held. In essence, Xiu Yi knew what was happening, but not why. The reason this world had become what they now saw was almost certainly a transformation of Xiu Yi's inner psyche.

In other words, Xiu Yi was the creator who had led this false space-time to become a living hell, and he was also the one who knew the correct location of this shelter. Unfortunately, 'Bizarre' could only guide the negative emotions in people's hearts, but couldn't neutralize them with a positive field.

Listening intently, Xiu Yi and Red Ghost were somewhat spellbound, their brains struggling to accept the four people's strange experiences. But if this space wasn't created by Xiu Yi, why could he find this room and know everything happening here?

It was all too late; if they had been a day earlier, or even a few hours earlier, his fantasies might not have fully turned into reality.

But according to Xiu Yi, the cycle of the outer, middle, and inner worlds had already turned three times — now, even Feng Yi's Third Rhythm might find it difficult to shatter the illusion.

After all, the Third Rhythm is a phenomenon, an order recognized by the universe. And if this twisted universe also recognized the Bizarre, accepted the things Xiu Yi had fantasized into reality, the Rhythm might not change anything.

Feng Yi lit up a cigarette, turned to Xiu Yi and asked, "Do you know of any glitches in this game, or maybe a strategy guide? We could use it to beat it."

"No, it's a narrative game."

Feng Yi pondered whether Eggy might have some intelligence, and began to question Xiu Yi, "Where did you learn about this game?"

"Brother Feng, you know, Bull Planet's economy is pretty backward, our tank tools might even be junk from hundreds of years ago. As for which era, I can't say for sure."

If it had been a few hundred years earlier, perhaps Eggy really would have collected related information. But now, with Eggy still in a deep slumber and unawakened for a long time, he didn't even know if they could wait until Eggy fully awoke.

Tapping his folding fan thoughtfully, Bai Zhexian spoke up, "Since it's a narrative game, can't we just go through the story and easily solve it?"
