Turns out this is just an illusion?!
Shabi suddenly understood.
There wasn't any fork in the road in front of him; it was just an ordinary illusion.
Looking to the side, some people had already continued moving forward, but most had stopped in place, eyes closed, clearly trapped in the illusion.
Moreover, Shabi had a realization in his heart.
The illusion isn't specific.
It's random.
Kindness, justice, love, honesty, loyalty...
All kinds of virtues, if you pass one, you can keep moving forward.
In the first illusion, if you choose to move forward, you'll encounter the second illusion.
If the second doesn't work, there'll be a third... and so on.
If someone fails a series of illusions, they're probably a heinous person and won't be given a prize. They might even be banished from the city.
Shabi felt fortunate that the first random illusion was about helping others, which is kindness. He encountered and passed it.
