Chapter 447: The terror of the Dream Boundary

"Perhaps..." At that, Lin Yi said no more and simply began carefully observing his surroundings.

[Lin Yi...]

He had only just begun looking around when a call sounded in his ears.

The sudden call made his scalp prickle. Immediately afterward, a rapid series of clattering sounds rang in his ears, like a train hurtling past right against his face in a cramped tunnel.

The sound, which he had not heard in so long, instantly put Lin Yi on edge.

[Lin Yi...]

[Lin Yi...]

Amid the rushing wind, those eerie calls grew faster and louder.

Lin Yi's vision kept flickering. He seemed to see another world hidden beneath the Student Passage. In architectural terms, the underlying frameworks of the two worlds were almost identical, but one world had been built into the Student Passage, while the other had been constructed as a different kind of passage.

The two passages flickered rapidly before him like overlapping afterimages, accompanied by the rushing wind and the calls.

He looked at Li Huiyuan beside him and Wei Liang ahead. All three were still climbing the steps at an unhurried pace toward the Student Passage's exit, yet he seemed to be the only one who could see those flickering, overlapping Afterimages.

[Lin Yi, oh, Lin Yi...]

[Lin Yi...]

[You're here...]

[Take us with you...]

Countless broken sculptures suddenly appeared in the passage, bound in chains and hanging upside down. Their bodies swayed in a wind Lin Yi could not feel, their arms or heads swinging as they chanted that eerie hymn:

[Nr den...]

[svarte mnen...]

[vissner...kommer...]

[srgemoerne... tilbake fra...]

[det... uendelige...]

[dyphavet...]

The fragmented hymn drifted through the wind, vaguely seeming to gather into an ancient admonition:

[Nr den svarte mnen vissner...kommer srgemoerne tilbake fra det uendelige dyphavet...]
