"Huh?" Lin Yi froze.
Tian Bufan said, "You'll get used to it."
As he spoke, he took the lead and stepped into the Student Passage.

The heads of countless Broken Sculptures poked out of the bookshelves, singing that eerie song to him.

[Fate is like the ring formed by Ouroboros... round and round, back to the starting point...]
[Lin Yi... oh, Lin Yi...]
[When the Black Moon Withers...]
[Sing my name aloud...]
[Lin Yi, oh,
