Inside the Student Passage.
Lin Yi descended the steps, but for some reason, even though his Layer was still normal, he kept hearing the Broken Sculptures chanting in his ears.
He shook his head and looked at Tian Bufan and the others around him. He was absolutely certain his current Layer was normal.
Had the Broken Sculptures become so terrifying that their songs could now reach his ears even in his normal state?
Wei Shan seemed to sense something wrong with Lin Yi. His breathing grew heavier, his eyes filled with wild, bestial ferocity. "Lao Lin, what's wrong?"
Lin Yi admitted, "I can hear the Broken Sculptures singing... Ever since I first came into contact with them through the Layers, they've been haunting me relentlessly. But before, I could only hear them when I was having Visual Hallucinations. Now I can hear them even when I'm normal..."
"The Broken Sculptures singing...?" Confusion appeared in Wei Shan's eyes. "I can't hear it... I've never heard it."
"Of course you can't," Tian Bufan said. "It's something Lao Lin picks up through his 'Perception.'"
"Do you remember what I told you before? As you keep 'adapting,' the range of 'frequencies' you can receive will grow broader and broader, until you gradually become able to receive that Call even in your normal state."
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Lin Yi asked gravely.
"Sometimes good, sometimes bad," Tian Bufan said. "Broadly speaking, receiving more information is certainly useful for exploration. But on an individual level, if you lack the ability to process that information, it'll interfere with your brain and drive you insane."
Lin Yi took a deep breath. "So I still need to 'adapt,' right?"
"Yes." Tian Bufan gave him an affirmative answer.
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.
