…Bohemia is incredibly bold.
This thought unexpectedly crossed Lin Sanjiu’s mind. She hadn’t turned around to look at the medical station building behind her because the shadowy “man,” formed by light and shadows, was firmly standing on the legs of their projected shadows. Being able to step on their legs meant that he was practically standing right behind them.
If this shadowy figure could breathe, his breath would probably have already reached her face.
In such a close face-to-face situation, should she turn around and expose her back completely to him?
Lin Sanjiu stood stiffly in place, her gaze fixed on the “man” without blinking. Once the shadowy figure stepped on their shadows, he didn’t move anymore, which somewhat relieved her. She lowered her voice and asked, “… What happened to the windows?”
Bohemia responded with a m.u.f.fled sound in her throat.
“You… take a look,” she turned her head, but her exclamation suddenly turned into a cry of alarm. Instinctively, she tried to lunge forward but couldn’t move: “He’s so close to us!”
“You just noticed that!” Lin Sanjiu couldn’t help but shout at her, but she came up with an idea at this moment. “Let me block the light with something—”
“It won’t work,” Bohemia forced herself to calm down and hastily summoned her starlight-like net, unfolding it behind them to s.h.i.+eld them. Even if this defense couldn’t completely resist the shadowy figure, it was better than nothing. Her voice trembled as she said, “Take a look, and you’ll understand.”
Lin Sanjiu slowly turned her head and immediately understood what Bohemia meant.
Whether it was blocking the light or breaking the light source… it was meaningless now.
From the third floor of the medical station building all the way to the top, the sporadic windows were glowing with inexplicable and eerie light. Unless she could conjure up a building of the same height, at least five stories high, to block the light, the shadows of the two of them would inevitably be cast.
But that wasn’t the reason Bohemia panicked.
In the eerie light that approached an iron gray color and made people feel extremely uncomfortable at a glance, a gigantic, blurred shadow appeared. The shadow was so large that it couldn’t be seen from a single window. “On the upper left corner of the fifth floor, in that window,” Bohemia stuttered, “Is it filled with an eye?”
Just as if it heard her voice, the eyeball in the upper left corner window moved slightly and lowered towards the two of them. Above a small black pupil, a large patch of eyeball, tinted gray by the light, suddenly rolled out. The eyelashes seemed to have long been entangled in the curtains, haphazardly squashed against the edges of the window.
If all the illuminated things behind the window were put together, it formed the face of an entire building’s wall. Although this face was covered with patches of darkness here and there, it was still astonis.h.i.+ngly huge. Its shape faintly revealed a sense of bizarre distortion, as if it had barely managed to maintain its form before completely collapsing.
“Could this be a pocket dimension?” Bohemia hoa.r.s.ely voiced the doubts in Lin Sanjiu’s mind. “But that’s impossible. The medical station in Purgatory Abyss has been operating for a long time…”
“Stop saying useless things,” Lin Sanjiu immediately interrupted her. “Even if it wasn’t a pocket dimension yesterday, it could be today.”
The crucial question now was, what was that thing? Their shadows were being stepped on, so how could they escape?
The more Lin Sanjiu thought about it, the more she could feel the silent presence of the shadowy figure behind them.
“This can’t be happening! Ah, just take a look,” Bohemia suddenly remembered something and hurriedly lowered her head, searching frantically in her wide sleeve. It seemed like she wanted to crawl into it completely. “I have an item. I remember it’s related to pocket dimensions…”
Lin Sanjiu also half-turned her body and stood face-to-face with Bohemia. As Bohemia searched for something, her gaze fell into the dim flowerbed behind her. When several light sources illuminated the night, the flowerbed also faintly brightened, like a semi-transparent photo. Then, that “photo” suddenly moved slightly, as if it was crawling towards them.
How many things were hidden here?
Moreover, they couldn’t move now, so why were the things inside and outside the building still motionless?
“This!” Bohemia grabbed something and spoke before quickly looking around. She was startled by what she saw—a row of lights in the three-story ward suddenly turned on. Countless figures wearing what seemed to be patient gowns were pressed against the gla.s.s, motionless, and staring straight at the two of them.
Lin Sanjiu was immediately shocked as if she had been electrocuted. She almost jumped in place and exclaimed, “Yu Yuan! Yu Yuan, are you here?”
No one responded. No matter how she squinted her eyes, she couldn’t make out the faces of the figures in the row. They appeared as burnt corpses, their features indistinguishable, only the outline of dark shadows visible. She had been cautious about what was behind her and worried about detaching her shadow, but now, when there was a chance to save Yu Yuan, her mind was about to explode. However, at that moment, Bohemia suddenly shouted, “This is a pocket dimension!”
“What pocket dimension?” Lin Sanjiu immediately snapped back to her senses from the state she was in just a moment ago.
The item in Bohemia’s hand looked like an oversized compa.s.s, about the size of a dinner plate. A bright red pointer was now pointing directly towards the flowerbed, and a number “1” floated above it.
That slideshow-like false reality is indeed a pocket dimension!
“This pocket dimension detector is sensitive but quite useless,” she quickly said. “It only shows the presence when someone is near or even inside the pocket dimension. But, huh?”
Both of them suddenly went silent, as if their throats were being choked, staring at the detection needle without making a sound.
The bright red pointer spun rapidly once again, then abruptly paused in the direction of the medical station building ahead. However, it didn’t stop there. Instead, it started shaking and oscillating from side to side like it was electrified, becoming a blur. Above the rapidly oscillating pointer, the number kept jumping up: 2, 3, 5, 8… until it reached 27, and finally, the pointer stopped moving.
Lin Sanjiu heard her own voice trembling, “The meaning of this number… can it be…”
When she looked at Bohemia’s expression, she immediately knew she was right.
“There… There are…”
Bohemia’s face turned pale, clearly struggling to suppress her fear but not succeeding much. “How is this possible? There are 27 pocket dimensions in this building?”
