Angel did not have a deep impression of the second floor, because the interior layout of its rooms was much the same as the first floor's, merely with a few extra small rooms. Moreover, he had not found anything like the thin booklet on the second floor.
However, Angel could be certain that there was absolutely no path hidden in the void on the second floor.
The altered layout here was probably also thanks to the void storm.
Since there was no other route here, Angel did not hesitate and stepped directly onto this invisible path.
After walking several dozen meters, they saw the first room floating in the void... or rather, the remnants of a room.
The walls were gone, the ceiling was gone, and all that remained were scattered fragments of flooring.
These floor fragments were largely separated, drifting about within a small area and occasionally coming together. They were like the shifting wooden boards they had crossed when they first entered the Stairway of the Hanging Prison.
"Are we going up?" Kael looked at the constantly drifting floor fragments, somewhat hesitant.
"What, are you scared?"
A faintly teasing voice came from beside him. Kael did not even need to turn around to know that Dox was speaking.
"No." Kael shook his head. It was not quite fear, but seeing Wai fall into the void earlier had left a slight shadow in his heart. Now, looking at those even more scattered floor fragments, he instinctively wanted to resist.
"If you're scared, just admit it. It's fine. Academy types have always been afraid of death—that's common knowledge. I won't laugh at you."
Before Kael could speak, Wai muttered softly from the side, "There's more than one academy type here."
Dox froze for a moment and turned to look around.
