X023, May 9th, adjacent to the Gymnasium, "Giant Dome."
Lin Yi had a dream while sound asleep.
In the dream, he seemed to have entered a dense jungle -- both familiar and alien, probably the Green Forest Belt on campus yet somehow different. It felt like a corner of the world forgotten, exuding a chilling breath.
The light struggled through the overlapping layers of leaves, becoming exceedingly dim, akin to the last breath of a dying man -- faint and feeble.
Each ray of light appeared to be a prisoner devoured by darkness, fading away as it struggled, leaving behind only mottled, barely discernible shadows on the ground. Those shadows, like ghosts hidden in the dark, were twisted and irregular, and seemed to wriggle uneasily with the occasional breeze.
Mist spread like a vast, icy white serpent, winding and coiling tightly around the entire jungle.
It was pervasive in every inch of space, thick and damp, as if emanating from the bowels of Hell.
