Looking at the empty buildings, a chilling sense of desolation crept into Su Ruolan's heart.
Following her memories, she slowly found the rusted iron door. With a strong pull, she opened it, staring into the dark abyss that resembled the gaping mouth of a monster. Just as Su Ruolan was about to step inside, a hand suddenly grabbed her.
Startled, Su Ruolan whipped around, ready to attack.
"Ruo Lan, it's me." The familiar face and voice belonged to Qin Zhi Han, whose calm demeanor barely concealed his surprise at finally finding her again.
"What are you doing here?" Su Ruolan relaxed her stance, suddenly realizing how off her guard she had been; she hadn't even noticed Qin Zhi Han approaching from behind. Where was Reset? Why hadn’t there been any warning? Calling out for Reset in her mind, she was astonished to find that her connection to the space had once again been severed. She frowned slightly; this place was too strange.
"I heard you left H Base alone, and I was worried about your safety, so I came to find you." There was a hint of uncertainty in Qin Zhi Han's voice, as if he feared Su Ruolan might think he was stalking her. "How did you end up here? Isn't this where we had our First Meeting?"
"I need to save someone; I have to come here to find answers." Su Ruolan trusted Qin Zhi Han enough to share her purpose directly.
"Then I'll go with you; this place feels very eerie." Qin Zhi Han said seriously.
"Okay." Su Ruolan nodded. Honestly, she was glad to see Qin Zhi Han. In this familiar yet strange world, if there was anyone she could trust, it was him.
The two of them cautiously descended the stairs. Qin Zhi Han activated his Ability, and a small flame flickered to life, illuminating their path ahead. The zigzagging staircase began to undulate endlessly, as if they had entered an inescapable loop. After walking for a while still on the stairs, both Qin Zhi Han and Su Ruolan frowned.
Qin Zhi Han set down a bag on the ground as they continued forward. After walking for fifteen minutes, when they suddenly spotted the bag on the ground again, Su Ruolan felt a chill run down her spine.
“Ruo Lan, do you remember when we escaped from here? There were some sound-related Zombies. Could it be them causing trouble?” Qin Zhi Han asked.
“I don’t know. I can’t sense anything unusual,” Su Ruolan replied, focusing her attention. Aside from Qin Zhi Han's breathing, the surroundings were eerily silent. “Do you feel any other presence?”
“No,” Qin Zhi Han said, a bit embarrassed. “It feels a bit like intersecting parallel dimensions. Have you been here before?”
Su Ruolan couldn’t help but recall the path she took after her rebirth. The staircase had led directly upward, and she quickly found the exit, unlike now, where it felt like an endless loop of dead ends. “Could this place also be a formation? When I first came here, there wasn’t a staircase like this.”
“Then take a look around. Is there any difference from before?” Qin Zhi Han encouraged.
“There are no doors beside the stairs here,” Su Ruolan observed carefully and suddenly remembered that when she passed through before, she had seen many doors with handles that wouldn’t open. There were none on this path.
“This place is truly strange. It’s probably an illusion; we need to break this illusion,” Qin Zhi Han said solemnly.
He raised his hand and conjured a fireball, throwing it forcefully against the wall. With a loud bang, the fireball crashed into the wall, sending sparks flying before extinguishing. Qin Zhi Han was stunned; he knew how powerful that strike was. If it had hit a normal wall, it would have created a hole, but this wall remained completely unaffected.
Qin Zhi Han activated his Ability here. Unbeknownst to him, that strike seemed to awaken the mysterious complex around them; something appeared to come alive and began to radiate within a hundred kilometers radius.
