Three branching paths: left, middle, and right.
At first glance, they looked no different.
But even as he ran, Luo Chengyou spotted a few clues.
The leftmost branch was very bright, clean, and tidy. None of those scalp-prickling masses of black granules were anywhere to be seen, and it was spacious, even a little wider than the main alley beneath his feet.
