After so long without light, the green wound on her back began to grow increasingly pronounced, thickening from a hairline to the width of a black pen stroke, then to the width of a green tear streak...
Green fog began to seep from her wound, swirling around her like armor.
At this point, in Lin Yi's "simulation," she rather evoked the image of clouds following a dragon and wind following a tiger...
But this was not a good thing.
As the green fog seeped out, the tear-like wound continued to widen. This time, the green fog pouring from the crack actually began to solidify, changing from drifting fog to green powder particles emerging one after another...
It was a sight that raised goosebumps all over. The mere thought could kill someone with trypophobia on the spot, and Lin Yi felt that the damned scene had nearly sent him to his grave right then and there.
After these green powder particles appeared, Li Huiyuan's body also began to undergo a horrifying transformation. Her skin turned grayish white at a speed visible to the naked eye, making her look like an ancient gray-white statue, while the last light began to fade from her eyes...
Her steps up the stairs grew increasingly awkward and stiff until she finally froze completely, becoming a... pure-white humanoid sculpture poised in the act of climbing.
At this moment, the spiral Fibonacci Sequence stairs remained beneath her, and the Fibonacci Sequence stairs remained above her head. She, meanwhile, seemed to have become a lonely, tiny, insignificant speck of dust amid the endless stairs...
The scene "simulated" in his mind froze completely at that moment, then shattered into countless collapsing fragments with a boom-.
"?!"
Lin Yi snapped back to his senses and looked down at the time.
