The fading world seemed as if a gust of wind could scatter it. Chen Ge looked at his hand, which had already turned gray-white, and realized that the world behind this Door was even more troublesome than he had imagined.
"My thoughts are getting sluggish. I can't keep this up."
Fang Yu's world behind the Door was much larger than Wu Sheng's. Aside from the Orphanage, most of the buildings had the same decor, making it incredibly easy to get lost.
Chen Ge had searched for a long time before finally finding a way out: a narrow path hidden in a gray forest.
He couldn't smell the flowers or hear the birds. All around him were gray canopies and white tree trunks.
His hands and feet had already turned gray-white. Chen Ge felt as if he were walking more and more slowly, though that wasn't actually the case. He had no idea why this was happening.
"No matter what, I have to find Fang Yu!"
The trees were dense and layered, and the winding path stretched beyond sight. Chen Ge could only keep moving forward. He was taking a gamble.
As long as he stayed in Fang Yu's world, his memories would slowly disappear. That meant he couldn't use the same approach he'd used in Wu Sheng's world—he couldn't wait in one place for Xu Yin and the others to show up before taking action.
Every minute and every second here was precious. It was just like Fang Yu's own life: from the moment she opened her eyes in the morning, her memories were already counting down even as they were being written. She had to find the person in her memories before midnight, because she knew that when she woke up the next day, everything would be blank again.
