I can't stop... calm down.
Follow the rules and keep moving.
Luo Chengyou kept stepping forward.
Once he entered this alley, he could not stop. Whatever lay ahead, he could only keep walking forward.
But he had barely taken two steps when he suddenly heard a woman shouting anxiously from the alley entrance behind him, "Luo Chengyou! Don't go in! Those patches of black stuff are pathogens!"

Luo Chengyou did not stop, but he was not walking fast, moving forward at an extremely slow pace.

"The moment I arrived in Sick Village, I was randomly assigned to the Library. My rule was that I could leave the Library once I found the Administrator."
"I found him in the Basement. After he gave me directions, the fog in the Library area cleared. No... there's no fog in this village at all. The fog is in our vision!"
"I saw you standing at the alley entrance from a distance, about to go in. You can't go in! Come out!"
"I can see the right path now. There's no fog in my eyes. Just follow me!"
Xu Tingfang spoke loudly.
Luo Chengyou kept walking, listening carefully to every word Xu Tingfang said.
