Suddenly, Gui Zhe's heart jolted.
He saw a crystal sculpture standing at the center of the square, pierced by a beam of light from an unknown source.
Inside the sculpture, the light shattered, refracted, and reborn, pricking the surrounding darkness with a myriad of tiny holes, while casting ever-changing shadows on the walls, as if countless unseen spirits danced upon them.
Upon seeing this sculpture, even Gui Zhe experienced an indescribable feeling of submission, as if a stream of light enveloped his heart, suppressing his thoughts. He knew full well this peculiar feeling was toxic, yet he couldn't resist its pull.
Immediately, the "Future Mirror" within the Power Armor emitted a soft "click," akin to lightning slicing through his spirit.
This was the warning from the "Old Man."
Gui Zhe broke out in a cold sweat.
Looking again at the crystal sculpture, he was filled with the utmost caution.
