After being struck by spatial fragments, Chen Muxi's true body had already fallen unconscious.
After he lost consciousness, the spatial fragments merged with his subconscious dreamscape, creating the O-Shaped Space before them.
The O-Shaped Space was divided into two layers: an outer layer and an inner layer. The outer layer was Chen Muxi's nightmare, while the inner layer was a subconscious projection of himself.
The current situation was that Chen Muxi's self had entered the outer layer from the inner layer and overcome his own fear and hatred. In other words, he had taken control of this dreamscape.
Naturally, he was now the master of the O-Shaped Space.
That made it easy to understand why the O-Shaped Space was consuming energy to heal Chen Muxi.
Nameless explained his understanding to everyone. After hearing him out, Chen Weihua frowned. "So the person inside is actually the one we need to rescue?"
"Strictly speaking, it's the spiritual body of the person we need to rescue," Nameless said with a smile.
Lin Renmei said flatly, "From what we've seen so far, he doesn't seem like a good person."
A subconscious projection was like drunken truth-telling; it could reflect a person's nature most truthfully. Chen Muxi could hardly be called friendly.
"It doesn't matter. What interests me now is this space itself. Rescuing someone is merely incidental. Besides, we can't be sure whether there are other Survivors inside apart from the Lizardman, so spending a little time is worthwhile," Nameless explained.
It could be said that they were rescuing someone while they were at it, or researching the O-Shaped Space while they were at it. Fundamentally, the two did not conflict.
"If Nameless's judgment is correct, then there are two ways to deal with this space. The simpler method is to kill that Lizardman.
