Chapter 190: Chapter 88 Sculpture and Export

From the Fibonacci Sequence Spiral Staircase, to a straight, ancient Europe-style castle stone path, to a winding mountain stone path, and finally, to the current drippy, stalactite-like cave stone path...

If it were merely a transition from a stairwell to a cave stone path, he surely would have been able to react. But the several transitions he had experienced were smooth as silk, seamless, not jolting awake until hitting rock bottom.

It was as if some existence beyond reason had pressed the "ins" key and started inputting text, slowly replacing the original information bit by bit. By the time the text’s owner realized it, the information displayed before him had already become something entirely different.

"’Cognitive overwrite’!"

Lin Yi’s heart trembled fiercely, Mao Feiyang’s fear was rapidly amplified in his perception, instantly filling Lin Yi’s heart and causing him to shiver subconsciously.

But Lin Yi quickly identified the source of Mao Feiyang’s shivers—shadows.

When "they" looked back the way they came, a humanoid creature appeared behind Mao Feiyang. The light from an old kerosene lamp cast its long, elongated shadow into their world.

The humanoid creature spread its arms, slowly extending its claw-like hands toward "their" backs, like a sneaky demon...

Driven by fear, Mao Feiyang instinctively looked back, and as the first-person perspective, Lin Yi also caught sight of it.

A sculpture.

A pure white one, draped with a translucent silk scarf—a female sculpture.

It was posed as if to sneak attack Mao Feiyang with arms spread, yet remained completely still, as if it hadn’t come on its own but had been suddenly placed there by someone else.

This sculpture, unlike the one Lin Yi encountered through Tian Bufan’s perspective that had invaded the classroom, appeared to be a simple plaster sculpture. But what was eerie about it was the silk scarf on it, which was eternally fixed in a state of fluttering in the breeze.

Mao Feiyang didn’t hesitate for a split second and ran instinctively—[The moment you see the sculpture standing at the staircase, leave instantly.]

"The staircase, this is the staircase!"

Mao Feiyang dodged the sculpture while growling and really saw a door on the stone wall not far behind the sculpture.

"There really is a door!" Mao Feiyang felt a surge of ecstasy, rebounding from the depths of despair, and was on the verge of tears.

"There really is a door?!" A shockingly surprised thought flashed through Lin Yi’s mind, but he suddenly realized that the style of the door was extremely familiar.

It wasn’t an isolated fire door, but a deep brown alloy door that looked like one from a hotel room.

The door lay hidden within the uneven stone wall, even covered with a flowing film of water, invisible unless looked at closely. Mao Feiyang, however, had locked his eyes onto it as if it were the only door left in the world.

Lin Yi’s viewpoint also drew closer to the door with Mao Feiyang’s movements. As "they" rushed towards it, he took the opportunity to scan the surrounding environment.

Just like when he entered the stairwell before, going up or down from the isolated fire door were all Fibonacci Sequence Spiral Staircases. Now, above and below this door were all uniformly stalactite cave-like stone paths...

However, Lin Yi merely glanced up the stone path of the mountain and felt as if struck by an indescribably terrifying force. His entire body went stiff, limbs turned ice-cold, and his scalp felt as though it had been lifted, tingling and numbing like a lightning strike, with even his soul seemingly drowned in fear at that moment.

He saw dense, numerous sculptures scattered along the stone path of the dripping stalactite cave, some hanging upside down from the ceiling like bats, some crawling on the ground in agony, and some standing indifferently with heads lowered, watching the approaching direction like cursed little boys...

These sculptures weren’t just human-shaped but also took the form of some unknown beasts, and more horrifyingly, most were incomplete, giving the appearance of a junkyard littered with rubbish.

Lin Yi’s view swiftly followed the movement; he knew Mao Feiyang had opened the door.

Just as Mao Feiyang’s hand entered the water curtain and grasped the doorknob, the familiar touch shot through his mind like a thunderbolt, making him suddenly remember why he felt such a strong sense of familiarity with this door!

"This touch...?!" Amidst his shock, the door was opened, and Mao Feiyang, without a moment’s hesitation, dashed behind it and then slammed the door shut with a "bang".

"Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff..." Mao Feiyang was drenched in cold sweat, gasping for air with his eyes closed against the door, using the breeze around him to steady his emotions.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi had already turned his head back with an intense desire to verify, looking at the door—because not only the touch of the handle but also the style of the door were strikingly similar to the one in his memory!

"2820"

The door number... 2820!

Lin Yi’s pupils constricted sharply and then dilated quickly. His mind couldn’t overcome an obstacle, but his subconscious had already guessed where this place was!

"Dormitory!!!"

"Dormitory building 28th floor! Number 20 dormitory!"

"This door!"

"This hallway!!"

"This place is actually... a dormitory?!"
