In his daze, Lin Yi almost seemed to hear filthy whispers, like sneers and mockery, enticement and harassment, like a swarm of insects buzzing around his head, constantly disrupting his mind...
He clenched his teeth, his breathing gradually growing heavier.
He had known this road would be difficult, but he had never expected it to be this difficult.
He stared fixedly at the two dim streetlamps in the distance. One was his next waypoint, the "Dormitory Building-095" streetlamp, and the other, farther away, was the "Dormitory Building-096" streetlamp that marked his destination.
Yet this time, even after running for over a minute, Lin Yi still had not managed to approach "Dormitory Building-095." He felt as though the ground beneath his feet had been stretched infinitely. No matter how he ran, he seemed to be running in place.
And what frustrated him most was not running in place, but that this road, whipping around like hand-pulled noodles, seemed to violate some law of physics. Some sections had actually flipped 180 degrees!
No, not some sections, but... but the ground beneath his feet!
The place where he stood had actually tilted more than 90 degrees!!
The reason some of those rising and falling humanoid sculptures had not caught up was that his stretch of road had twisted and flipped. The humanoid sculptures were not "rising and falling" at all. His own position was unstable, making the humanoid sculptures, which had been moving along the same level plane all along, appear to "rise and fall"!
What rose and fell was not the sculptures, but... his position!
Mind-blowing!
Absolutely mind-blowing!
"If there isn't some supernatural phenomenon here violating gravity, then there must be something wrong with my perception of the surrounding space!"
Something was wrong with his cognition!
But when had that problem started?
