Multiple Personalities

"Ah!" Renault cried out in pain. He felt as if his body were about to fall apart. He curled up in agony, unable to move another step forward.

Shen Jingqi also felt an unprecedented pain. He felt as if his body were being torn apart by an invisible force, as though it could shatter at any moment. He gritted his teeth, struggling to keep his mind clear.

Li Baiyu had already completely lost consciousness. His body floated powerlessly in the darkness, as if he had become a lifeless corpse. His face was etched with pain and despair, making it unbearable to look directly at him.

The force did not stop due to their suffering. On the contrary, it pulled at their bodies even more fiercely, as if it intended to tear them apart completely. They only felt their bodies growing weaker and weaker, as if the breath of life could slip away at any moment.

"We cannot give up like this!" Shen Jingqi shouted in his mind. He knew well that if they gave in, only death awaited them. He gritted his teeth, mustering all his strength to swim towards the passage.

Renault saw Shen Jingqi's determination. He took a deep breath, trying to revive his spirits. He knew he could not just give up on his life. He too had to fight with all his might for that slim chance of survival.

Thus, the two began to struggle towards the passage. Although their bodies were incredibly weak, their will was as firm as iron. They believed they could escape the clutches of this force and gain a new life.

However, just as they were about to enter the passage, an even more terrifying force suddenly emerged. Like a black hole, it completely swallowed the three of them. They felt their vision go dark and lost consciousness...

When they awoke again, they found themselves in an even stranger space. The walls were smooth all around, seemingly forming a giant cage that held them tightly. The walls emitted a faint cold light, making the entire space appear both mysterious and eerie. They tried to find an exit, but the surroundings were airtight, with no possibility of escape.

"What should we do?" Renault asked in despair, his voice echoing in the cramped space with a hint of tremor. His eyes were filled with hopelessness and helplessness, as if he had already seen his tragic fate of spending the rest of his life in this cage. He touched the cold wall, hoping to find a crack or mechanism, but the wall was as smooth as a mirror, without any flaws.

Shen Jingqi didn't immediately answer Renault's question. He was diligently observing this mysterious space. His eyes swept over the walls, trying to find any possible clues or guidance. However, he realized he could not find any useful information. He shook his head helplessly, a strong sense of powerlessness surging within him. He knew that if they couldn't quickly find a way out, they really might be trapped here forever.

Li Baiyu was already completely broken down. He sat paralyzed on the ground, holding his head in his hands, moaning in agony.

Seeing Li Baiyu's condition, a strong sense of responsibility filled Shen Jingqi's heart. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down and began to carefully think about a strategy.

Just then, a peculiar sound suddenly rang out. The sound was like a whisper, gently resonating at their ears, yet seemed to come from a distant shore. Shen Jingqi jerked his head up, a flash of joy in his eyes. He immediately calmed himself, listening intently to the mysterious sound, attempting to find a clue for escape.

Shen Jingqi closed his eyes, concentrating fully on the sound, attempting to connect his spirit with it.

As the sound deepened, Shen Jingqi began to feel a strange power surging within his body. The power was warm and strong, a seemingly endless source providing him with boundless strength and courage. He opened his eyes and found his vision becoming clearer, as if he could see through everything in this mysterious space.

"Renault, Li Baiyu, did you hear it?" Shen Jingqi shouted excitedly.

"The place we are currently in seems to be inside the stone tablet."

Shen Jingqi calmed down and realized that when their heartbeats and breathing matched the whisper of the stone tablet, the internal space of the stone tablet seemed to begin subtle changes. The cold light on the walls started to flicker, as if responding to their heartbeat and breath.

"Look! The stone tablet is responding!" Shen Jingqi shouted excitedly, hope gleaming in his eyes. He immediately signaled Renault and Li Baiyu to synchronize their heartbeats and breathing, maintaining connection with the stone tablet's whisper.

Renault and Li Baiyu quickly understood Shen Jingqi's intention, they immediately adjusted their breathing and heartbeats, synchronizing with the stone tablet's whisper. They felt a powerful force surging within them, as if producing a magical resonance with the stone tablet.

With their efforts, the internal space of the stone tablet began to undergo significant changes. The cold light on the walls grew brighter, as if it was illuminating the entire space. Simultaneously, a powerful force wrapped tightly around the three of them, seemingly intending to pull them out of this cage.

"We are about to jump out!" Shen Jingqi shouted, his voice filled with excitement and anticipation. He felt his body becoming lighter and lighter, as if it could float away from this space at any moment.

Renault and Li Baiyu also felt the same change. Their bodies became lighter and lighter, as if lifted by an invisible force. They opened their eyes, only to see the scene before them growing blurrier and blurrier, as if being pulled into another space by a powerful force.

Just as they were about to lose consciousness, a strong light suddenly flashed. The light, like lightning, cut through the dark space, illuminating the faces of the three of them. They only felt their bodies lighten, as if propelled by an invisible force.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar environment. All around were dense forests, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting dappled patterns. They took a deep breath of the fresh air, feeling that they had finally escaped that dreadful cage.

"We made it! We really made it out!" Renault shouted excitedly, his eyes overflowing with joy and excitement. He ran to Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu, hugging them tightly, as if to share this hard-won freedom.

Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu also smiled, equally jubilant for this newfound freedom. They knew that escaping that dreadful cage was entirely due to their mutual effort and persistence. They embraced each other tightly, celebrating this hard-earned victory together.

However, just as they were immersed in their joy, a peculiar force emerged once again. That force, like a vortex, engulfed the three of them. They felt their bodies lighten, as if lifted by an invisible force and rapidly spinning.

"What's happening? Why are we being pulled in again?" Renault exclaimed in surprise.
