"Ha...huff...ha...huff..."

Lin Yi felt his body was reaching its limit, he could no longer advance even a single step further in this collapsing layer.

He gasped continuously, his whole body drenched with sweat, and beads of sweat on his forehead fell like raindrops.

"Come on, Lin Yi... keep going! Don't stop..."

But soon, the voice of the Heretical Choir mixed with the howling wind and rain drowned out his murmurs.

"I Avgr...uNnen av..." Lin Yi's lips unconsciously began to murmur such syllables. The light in his eyes faded, but soon a golden flame reignited within his pupils; he shook his head, "No...I can't give up..."

"fanTome..."

"No..."

"Huff...huff..."

He dragged the Wei Liang version of the plow like an ox plowing the field, struggling forward with the light in his eyes flickering on and off. From his perspective, the whole world shook and was nearly collapsing.

"Uh...ah—ah! Ah! Ah!!"

Lin Yi felt his body getting heavier, the entire world seemed to press down on him along with Wei Liang, bending his spine slowly until he gradually knelt down on the ground. His eyelids felt heavy, but he still bit his teeth tightly, reaching out to crawl towards the streetlight, and when he couldn't move, he writhed on the ground, sparing no effort to pull himself even a bit closer to the light.

Gradually, Lin Yi's consciousness began to blur. He felt as though he was swimming in an ocean, the cold seawater swirling around his body, creating a "whoosh— whoosh— whoosh—" sound, giving those who heard it a peculiar sense of calm...

Around him, countless ghostly shadows swam through the sea like groups of tadpoles, shaking what appeared to be tails of dark remnants, stirring Ripples in the seawater as they continuously headed toward the location of the streetlight...

"Are these... Nocturnal species?"

"Strange... Why aren't they attacking me?"

"So strange..."

Lin Yi's mind was muddled, he felt like he had become one of the Nocturnal species, but he soon realized that was not quite the case...

Nocturnal species were indeed around him, but not one dared to come close, they all hovered around him like satellites orbiting a planet, and those Nocturnal species he saw swiftly dodged away, as if frightened by his gaze.

He was puzzled but still tried to look here and there; wherever his gaze fell, it seemed as though a sharp blade swept through, causing all the Nocturnal species to desperately avoid it.

"This is really odd, isn't Void Target Search their mechanism? Why... do they seem scared of being targeted by me?" confusion surged in Lin Yi's golden eyes.

But this was a good thing, at least... it allowed him a temporary safety in this layer.

"Liangzi, are you holding up? I'm fucking losing it, if you have any tricks up your sleeve, call them out, at least... save yourself first..." he roared softly, touching Wei Liang's hand that lay on his shoulder.

However, Wei Liang's hand was ice cold, without any sound in response, as if disconnected like in a game.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth; he actually had no expectations that Wei Liang would suddenly explode into action like a divine soldier descending from heaven at this time, he just hoped Wei Liang could protect himself with some crafty tricks.

Because Lin Yi felt his path was truly coming to an end.

He was like a ship that encountered a storm before it could anchor, now driven out of the safe harbor. Even if he exerted all his strength to head toward the harbor, he could only barely counter the impact of the storm, marking time in place.

There was simply no way or ability for him to approach the safe harbor at this time!

And once he exhausted his last bit of strength, he would be swept away by the storm to an unknown destination.

"Liangzi, oh Liangzi... if you can really hear me, quickly conjure some Crafty Tricks to protect yourself... while there's still time..." Lin Yi said laboriously, then lowered his head to glance at his watch.

21:26.

Only two streetlights left to the Dormitory building, if Wei Liang really has some tricks that let him cross this distance back to the dorm, then that's fine as well.

After all, in a perilous situation, if one can survive, it's a win.

As Lin Yi spoke to Wei Liang, he inadvertently glanced over at Wei Liang, but just that half-turn glimpse allowed him to see something dark with the corner of his eyes behind him.

To see more clearly, he struggled to prop up his body slightly, then turned his head, and the next moment, what he saw gave him an extremely intense visual impact.

Wei Liang was indeed laying on his back the entire time, but—

But there was fucking another person lying on Wei Liang's back!
