Harboring deep doubts, the group continued to deliberate as they walked along the streets and, after much consideration, finally decided to temporarily move a bit farther away from the range of the Hollow. This would allow Feng Yi sufficient time to rest, ensuring that even if they found the Door of Nothingness through the Third Rhythm, the hollow in the sky wouldn't spread to their location too quickly.

In fact, with the arrival of the two new companions, Kevin's heart had already stopped pounding with terror as it had before. Since the situation had been tense earlier, Kevin hadn't taken a closer look until they sat down to rest and he noticed Feng Yi's rather unwell complexion, "Brother Feng, are you not feeling well?"

"An old problem of mine, it's nothing."

"Hey, I have some medicine here, all accumulated from my travels. This elixir here was exchanged for 100 points; I guarantee it will cure all once you take it."

Feng Yi knew his own physical condition better than anyone, not to mention that he owned the Bounty Tribe, so what was 100 points to him? He appreciated Kevin's sentiment and simply gave Kevin a wry smile, shaking his head, "Keep it for the journey, I'm looking forward to your stories—provided, firstly, that we get out of here."

Kevin reluctantly put away the medicine, realizing there was no help for it. He knew to some extent the kind of person Brother Feng was; when he said he didn't want something, he meant it.

"Hey kid over there, go get some firewood."

Kevin turned his gaze towards Bai Zhexian upon hearing this and found him taking out various seasonings and meats, "What's this for?"

"Barbecue."

"But don't we have compressed food?"

"Young man, where can those things compare to game meat?"

"Alright, I understand."

It wasn't until Kevin was briefly sent away that Bai Zhexian came up to Feng Yi and began searching for the Space Crystal, muttering to himself, "Has Brother Feng not noticed something wrong with that kid Kevin?"

"Problem..." The word "problem" made Feng Yi pause in contemplation, "I haven't noticed anything."

"Heh, the problem isn't with him per se, it's related to the 'Bizarre.' I think that thing can erode the dark side of the mind. Frankly speaking, the more you fear something in your heart, the more likely it is to become reality, or to evolve and change like reality. I didn't say it outright just now because I didn't want him to overhear. Although the kid has seen quite a bit and is mentally mature, if he hears and begins to overthink, things might turn for the worse, which is exactly in line with the 'Bizarre' characteristics described in the books."

Feng Yi had indeed considered this point, of course, only momentarily, his thoughts interrupted by some comment. After Bai Zhexian put it that way, he did realize the gravity of the issue.

"So what do we do next..."

"Next, proceed as normal. Brother Feng simply needs to impart more inspiring declarations to the lad. In short, try not to let him think that way, and we should also avoid these topics in our conversations."

Feng Yi felt somewhat speechless for a moment; this seemed to perfectly coincide with the White Bear effect. Especially for young people like Kevin, whose mental strength has yet to solidify, the more you tried not to think about something, the more likely your subconscious would drift that way.

Sometime later, Kevin returned, carrying wooden planks he had taken who-knows-where from a cabin, after great effort. Little did he know that upon his return, the scent of barbecue had already spread all around. Upon regaining his composure, he looked around and realized in astonishment that there was modern barbecue equipment on the ground.

With a clatter, the planks dropped to the ground, and Kevin held his head in an annoyed realization that he had been played, "Oh God, you must be doing this on purpose."

"Ha ha, sorry, sorry, I forgot I brought barbecue tools with me. Come on, sit down and let's eat together."

You wouldn't believe it, but after a night of torment Kevin's stomach was already growling with hunger... Seduced by the aroma of the meat, he quickly forgot his prejudices against Bai Zhexian and began to eat vigorously.

Feng Yi wasn't very hungry, but he ate the grilled meat as a way to replenish his energy while sipping on his revolutionary liquor, enjoying himself in this bizarre alternate space...

The three were accustomed to eating and sleeping outdoors. They could eat quickly or drink leisurely, but this was clearly not the time to delay. After a brief rest, they quickly filled their stomachs and adjusted their condition.

Before setting off, they could see the sky turning dark, indicating that this space-time also had a cycle of day and night.

What was worth noting was that the three of them could faintly feel a magnetic field hitting their faces from a vast distance, like static electricity, which meant that the Hollow of Nothingness was still spreading. In other words, if they waited until the sky was completely dark and the Hollow of Nothingness reached them, they would not be able to judge the distance effectively, which was extremely dangerous given their current situation. Hence, the best strategy was to leave this place as soon as possible.

However, unlike in the past when Feng Yi could easily travel across the galaxy with instant teleportation, he could not guarantee how far the Third Rhythm could spread now—currently, Feng Yi's own strength was only at Rank 2. A direct confrontation with Red Ghost might well be the end of him, and if he did nothing now, their group could end up being completely wiped out.

Looking at the dimming sky in the distance, Feng Yi's voice took on an especially solemn tone, "Grab onto me, I'm going to try to move now."

"Brother Feng, shouldn't we wait a bit longer? The Hollow is still very far from us."

Feng Yi also wanted to rest more, but unfortunately, he was already in his best mental state. Sleeping now would be a waste of time, so he said, "Let's do it like this, I can't guarantee success—but take this."

"Brother Feng, are these light teleporters?"

Feng Yi nodded to Kevin, explaining that these were prepared by him during the war for emergency military intelligence, no longer needed now. If they couldn't find an exit, everyone could try to activate the light teleporters to leave this space, though the success rate was not guaranteed; after all, this space was too bizarre. In the end, it was all down to luck. They were distributed evenly among them; who knows, someone's luck might be good enough to accidentally get out—or maybe no one would be able to leave.

Bai Zhexian thought he had struck it rich; as a senior elder of the Bounty Tribe, he owed a huge debt, and converting these to money would sum up to a significant amount.

Kevin, however, kept declining, how could he take more of Brother Feng's belongings? Feng Yi simply said he'd pay him back later, and only then did Kevin accept.

As he pressed two fingers to his forehead, Feng Yi's Mental Power immediately spread out... starting from him as the central point, it gradually covered the surrounding space, spreading outward, reaching far...

Feng Yi's eyes were closed, and he would not feel any scenery outside the pulse of the Quantum Law Pulse, but Bai Zhexian was different. His eyes could clearly see two completely different scenes, inside and outside the pulse.

At that moment, the area within Feng Yi's Law Pulse showed a grayish-white scene, while the outside was a sky enveloped in dark clouds—Bai Zhexian's heart tightened upon seeing this. As expected, it matched their previous guess exactly. Even though they felt normal within this space, they were not truly normal. Unbeknownst to them, they were already being eroded by the bizarre magnetic field. If not for the changes induced by the pulse, they would never have realized this.

At present, the image in Feng Yi's mind was still only what was inside the Quantum Law Pulse. When it covered the Hollow of Nothingness, he could not sense any presence behind it, just as if he were passing through the mysterious ship's barrier door in the beginning—completely isolated.

The silent pulse continued to expand outward and in an instant enveloped the entire minor planet, glowing... it was a pity that he hadn't found any door to space, which meant that they might truly be trapped here forever.

"Damn it! Show yourself!" Feng Yi said inwardly, as droplets of sweat silently slid down his cheeks. Covering just the small planet, he already found his Mental Power becoming strained. Continuing at this rate, he wouldn't be able to support the search much longer, and the range he could cover was unlikely to extend very far.
