The lingering thread of aura in the vertical pupil surged forward, shattering the countless human sculptures conjured from the page into ruins.

Yet in this moment, the vertical pupil was intensely disturbed, losing its qualification to pursue Mao Feiyang's trace.

The vertical pupil coldly surveyed its surroundings, then silently faded away.

In the blooming layers, only a large number of broken human sculptures remained.

These broken sculptures floated within the layers, and it was unclear which one first exclaimed, leading the rest to start clamoring:

[Lin Yi, oh Lin Yi...]

[...we're waiting for you...]

[You will take us away...]

[You will...]

[Lin Yi, oh Lin Yi...]

[...Lin Yi, oh... Lin Yi...]

...

In the next instant after Mao Feiyang threw the page, the layer world, continuously blooming like petals, also suddenly reached its end.

Lin Yi saw the flower's core—what seemed to be a dark corridor, which at first glance exuded an extremely oppressive feeling.

As the petals unfurled, Mao Feiyang's body seemed to fall and plunged into that corridor.

As he was about to exit the layers, a halo appearing like a portal emerged around him, which he penetrated, crashing into the corridor like a lump of clay.

The sound rang out, and the corridor lit up with rows of lights, extending to a dark and indistinct end.

Lin Yi's will body was dazed, and once he regained clarity, he quickly observed his surroundings.

Is this the "Principal's Office"?

How come it's so different from what I imagined...?

This seemingly endless corridor, these dim lights... why does it look more like a prison?

He glanced overhead; behind him, the halo had closed and vanished, transforming into a ceiling with a glowing incandescent bulb.

And within this corridor, there were countless doors, each bearing different symbols, making it impossible to identify which one was the "Principal's Office."

"Maozi, Maozi, how are you doing?" he quickly called out to Mao Feiyang.

Mao Feiyang's body was gradually recovering like a lump of clay, and once fully restored, he propped himself up from the ground.

"Phew—"

He exhaled deeply, "Fortunately, I'm clever and resourceful, otherwise I would have been affected by the 'Angel's' power."

"'Angel'?!" Lin Yi's pupils shrank, "Are you saying... that ominous thing you were avoiding just now is the 'Angel'?"

Mao Feiyang replied, "No, that's just a meager trace of perception power from the 'Angel's' projection..."

"But we are like tinder, and no matter how insignificant the perception power is, it's a spark that can set us ablaze until we're beyond redemption."

Lin Yi had not yet fully relaxed when he heard this and was immediately shocked, "And you resolved this crisis with just a page?"

Mao Feiyang grinned, "What page, it's the world's most terrifying contamination."

"Huh?" Lin Yi was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

That notebook was entirely written by him, containing at most some cognitive contamination, how did it become the world's most terrifying contamination?

Just because it's wet, does it get caressed?

He didn't understand, but Mao Feiyang mysteriously didn't continue on this topic and instead called softly, "Young Master Tian... Young Master Tian, have you arrived?"

"Isn't Young Master Tian at the Observatory over there?" Lin Yi instinctively replied, but as soon as he spoke, he realized the issue and quickly corrected, "Oh right, Young Master Tian is at the Dream Boundary..."

Which means, Tian Bufan could come over with just one transfer.

For them, it was a fierce battle, but for Tian Bufan in the dream, he might just need to "go through the motions" at a scene transition point.

Seeing no response from Tian Bufan, Mao Feiyang said, "We've already reached this place, we don't need to be too anxious for now, let's move forward and wait for Young Master Tian."

"Is this the 'Principal's Office'? Why do I feel it's so off?" Lin Yi asked.

Mao Feiyang replied, "The 'Principal's Office' is behind one of these countless doors, today's 'Principal's Office' coordinate is '4-0-1-6', so we just need to find this door number."

"Don't be fooled by the seemingly infinite doors, each is a door, and all are infinite doors."

Saying this, Mao Feiyang began to pace around the corridor.

Seeing Mao Feiyang's remarks, Lin Yi couldn't help but ask, "Is there a theory behind this? Are they just projections of one door?"

Mao Feiyang smiled, "As the Daoist's house says: from one births two, from two births three, from three births all things... The existence of the 'Principal's Office' is a dimension-level combination lock, there's actually only one lock, but when the unlock sequence is combined, it presents nearly infinite possibilities before you."

"In fact, the original 'Principal's Office' wasn't the 'Principal's Office,' it was called 'Star Prison,' anchoring the layer where the Black Moon Outpost is located in the starry sea."

"The 'Celestial Sphere' can embody the Star Track, and by manipulating the gear mechanism, corresponds to specific coordinates within the starry sky, such as 'Star Prison.'"

"At first, the 'Original Apostles' immersed the Black Moon Outpost into this layer, unable to completely sever the connection between the layer and reality, they could only tighten it as much as possible, forming a singularity with countless sequence changes—this is the origin of the 'Star Prison.'
