If possible, Li Yi still wanted to directly erase the eerie building in front of him. He didn’t want to deal with the supernatural now; it’s not that he feared ghosts, but because some supernatural entities are unreasonable. "It shouldn’t be supernatural powers, at least not the remnants of the supernatural from World No. 36. I would never forget the feel of that world’s supernatural even in dreams: cold, rotten, dark... But here, it doesn’t feel that way to me." Li Yi took a brief pause to observe, and finally came to a conclusion. Since relying on mighty power can’t erase this place, the best solution is to seal it off and forbid anyone from approaching. However, out of curiosity, he wanted to go inside the building and see what’s really going on. Although curiosity can kill, Li Yi felt that with his power, his past experience of delivering messages, plus having the Immortal Dao Battleship at hand to cross worlds at any time, it was impossible to be trapped inside without being able to come out, right? "Forget it, risking oneself is not wise; better play it safe." Finally, Li Yi suppressed his curiosity but didn’t just leave. Instead, he pointed with his hand. A ray of Primordial Spirit Dharma light gathered, followed by the surrounding Cosmic Energy converging, and a vague human figure condensed. Li Yi flicked his finger, and a drop of blood flew out. The vague figure quickly took shape, astonishingly turning into a living person. "Tao Skill, Clone Skill, though not of much use, it inherits some of my powers, perfect for exploration." Li Yi then closed his eyes; he was about to control this clone seriously. Even if the clone died, it would merely cost him a bit of Primordial Spirit Power, nothing significant. Li Yi’s consciousness controlled the clone to enter the eerie building. Despite it being daytime, the old building remained dim, and upon entering, there was an isolated feeling, as if he was no longer in Tianchang City but in another incomprehensible place. Li Yi controlled the clone to circle the first floor but found nothing. Apparently, the issue lies on a certain floor here. He immediately climbed the old stairs upwards, soon reaching the second floor, but it was normal also: two apartment doors were open, uninhabited, full of dust. It seemed past Evolvers had explored here. The source of thɪs content is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁 Li Yi continued upwards, the third floor also had traces of being explored, so he didn’t waste time. However, approaching the fourth floor, he suddenly stopped. Li Yi shouted, although it was a clone, the voice echoed through the building like thunder, shaking the walls, dust falling everywhere. He just heard, in the fourth-floor room, the sound of a chair moving, followed by footsteps. This was very unusual. Because it’s impossible for there to be someone in the building; Li Shaqing had already sealed it off unless it was an Evolver who previously strayed in. But the probability was low. As Li Yi’s voice resonated, the person on the fourth floor gave no response. Li Yi’s form turned into lightning, directly piercing through the corridor, breaking the door, and swiftly rushing into the fourth-floor room. Due to being a clone, the actions were reckless, with no worry of dying there. Yet upon entering the room, Li Yi frowned. It was entirely different from other abandoned rooms below, showing signs of life: sofa, TV, dining table, even the floor was clean and neat, clearly frequently cleaned. "Is the problem here? So, did the previously arrived Evolvers disappear here?" Li Yi glanced at the dining table to the side. There were still meals on the table. Three bowls of white rice, three dishes. Braised fish, fried tofu, stir-fried vegetables. Ordinary home-cooked dishes, but they were cold, and the rice dried out, indicating nobody ate them, or they weren’t meant for the living, but for honoring the deceased, the lost souls? Li Yi looked up at the dim light, then carefully scanned other parts. Bathroom, kitchen, bedroom... all layout was normal, like a regular household. "Can’t figure it out." He frowned, then deeply inhaled, stomping hard, a terrifying force erupted, countless silver lightnings splattering from his body. Li Yi wanted to destroy this place through the clone; no matter what’s special here, if it could be destroyed, there would be no issue. But such actions had occurred more than once in this room. Previous stray Evolvers also tried destroying here, only to fail. Although Li Yi’s clone showed strong power, the result was the same as past Evolvers. After exhausting the energy. The room’s setup was as usual, his emitted power couldn’t destroy here, this trait was identical to the outside before, precisely this strange power keeping the building existent. If others witnessed such a situation, they’d likely lose patience, unable to think of any solution. But Li Yi was once a messenger, when power fails, brainpower must be used. "Existing things in front yet can’t be destroyed, as if in another world, this resembles the supernatural. So, am I lacking some kind of medium?" He slightly squinted his eyes. "Then, inside this room, what could the medium be?" Or... Li Yi’s gaze settled on the three bowls of rice. After a brief hesitation, he immediately sat at the dining table with a chair, but everything remained normal, nothing special happened. Then Li Yi took a bowl of rice and shoveled a mouthful without hesitation. He recalled a rumor in the Four Seas and Eight Continents: if a person unintentionally enters the underworld, they can’t eat its food; if a living person eats it, they’ll stay in the underworld forever. The food here wasn’t for living guests, likely for the dead. After eating the rice, it meant he had some kind of aura or power left inside, using it as a medium should be correct. Upon consuming the rice, the surroundings seemed to undergo some changes. Things that existed but were invisible now manifested. The first to catch his eyes were corpses. Corpse after corpse lay strewn across the floor. Judging from the corpses, they should be Evolvers, trapped to death here, then concealed by the room. Then, some sounds reached Li Yi’s ears. Though distant, he heard them. It was the sound of car horns. And definitely not in Tianchang City, as Li Yi was too familiar with Tianchang; nobody drove cars there anymore. He immediately stood up, gazing into the distance from beside the window. An unfamiliar city, no, an unfamiliar world unfolded before his eyes. "Have I crossed worlds?" Li Yi furrowed his brows again.
