Multiple Personalities

Li Baiyu, upon seeing this, immediately stepped forward to support Renault. He stared into his eyes, trying to find a trace of clarity within. "Renault, look at me, don't be fooled by these images!" he said urgently.

At that moment, a warm force brushed across their faces again, as if offering them a sliver of comfort. Shen Jingqi's heart stirred, sensing that this force seemed to harbor no malice but was attempting to aid them.

"Perhaps we can harness this power," he said in a deep voice, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. He knew it was a risky decision, but they had no other options left.

Li Baiyu nodded; he also sensed the benevolence of this power. He held Renault's hand, trying to transfer the power to him. "Renault, do you feel this power? Follow it, don't be deceived by those images!" he shouted.

Renault seemed to hear their voices; his gaze gradually regained some clarity. He fixed his eyes forward, attempting to focus. That warm power, like a guide, led them through the illusory images, onward.

However, the atmosphere in the sand cavern did not calm; instead, it intensified. Sometimes a warm power would gently caress their faces like a mother's touch; other times, a chilling power would pierce them like a demon's claws. The intertwining of these forces made them feel an unprecedented pressure.

"Will we... Can we really make it out?" Renault asked weakly, his heart filled with doubt and fear. He couldn't determine if they could find that answer by leaving the sand cavern.

Shen Jingqi didn't reply; he only gripped Renault's hand tightly. A look of firmness flashed in his eyes, as if to tell Renault they would find a way out. Li Baiyu felt his resolve too, staring ahead, trying to find a glimmer of light in the darkness.

They continued onward, as the breath within the sand cavern grew increasingly complex. Sometimes, a warm power would bring a soft melody, soothing as heavenly music; other times, a chilling power would bring a piercing scream, terrifying as a demon's roar.

"What... What is happening?" Li Baiyu muttered, his heart full of confusion. He couldn't understand why the sand cavern contained such complex auras and forces.

At that moment, a flood of information surged into them, overwhelming their minds. The information, like an invisible virus, spread rapidly, eroding everything in their brains. Shen Jingqi felt dizzy, as if countless tiny hands were tearing at his thoughts, disrupting his focus.

"What... What is this?" he murmured, a hint of terror in his voice. He furrowed his brows, trying to resist the invasion of erroneous information with his will, but that force was unstoppable, like a monstrous flood.

Li Baiyu felt the power's intensity too; his mind was chaotic, as if countless voices shouted all at once, preventing him from distinguishing real sounds from illusions. He held Shen Jingqi's hand tightly, his fingers white from exertion, as if it was the only reality he could grasp.

"This information is wrong! We mustn't be misled by it!" Shen Jingqi shouted loudly!

His voice echoed through the narrow sand cavern.

He stared ahead, his eyes gleaming resolutely, trying to find a shred of reality in the darkness, a light to guide them out of their predicament.

Shen Jingqi tightly squeezed Li Baiyu's hand, as if to pass the power onto him.

They kept moving, but each step felt extraordinarily difficult. The breath within the sand cavern became more intense; the intertwining warm and cold forces formed an indescribable vortex. This vortex seemed to have endless suction, trying to draw them in, leaving them forever lost in the darkness.

Shen Jingqi gritted his teeth, striving to stay conscious. He felt as if an invisible force tugged his thoughts, pulling him inexorably toward the vortex's center. He stared ahead, seeking a force to break it. Yet, all he saw was endless darkness and chaos.

"What should we do?" Renault's voice trembled with fear he couldn't hide. He felt bound by an invisible force, unable to move freely. His heart was full of despair and helplessness.

The erroneous information clung to their thoughts like a bone-deep parasite. They couldn't confirm if they were on the right path or discern real information from illusions. Their minds filled with chaos and confusion, shrouded by an invisible fog.

Shen Jingqi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He knew they couldn't panic or lose their minds at that moment. He stared ahead, seeking any clue in the darkness. But all he saw was endless darkness and the unknown.

"We... We must trust our instincts," he said in a deep voice, a trace of determination in his tone. He knew they could only rely on their instincts to guide them now. While instincts might be inaccurate, it was their only power.

Li Baiyu nodded.

They pressed on, every step fraught with hardship and danger. The sand cavern's breath intensified, the warm and cold forces intertwining, as if trying to tear them apart. Their bodies trembled, their thoughts in disarray, yet they didn't give up or retreat.

Suddenly, a strange power surged into their bodies. Like a clear spring, this power washed away the chaos and confusion in their minds. They felt their thoughts clearing, as if an invisible fog lifted.

"What... What is this power?" Shen Jingqi asked in surprise, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and delight. He sensed the power's might and mystery, as if it held infinite potential.

Li Baiyu felt the power's presence too; he seemed surrounded by a warm light he had never felt, giving him an unprecedented sense of peace and comfort. His heart brimmed with gratitude and awe.

Renault too felt the wonder of this power. He felt uplifted by an invisible force, bringing a sense of lightness and freedom. His heart filled with joy and excitement, knowing this power could surely help them leave the sand cavern.

However, the power's emergence didn't completely free them from peril. The breath within the sand cavern still fluctuated wildly, with warm and cold forces continuing to intertwine.
