Subsequently, Liang Ping felt his feet go empty, a sense of weightlessness.
He had walked out of the large door and stepped into nothingness. Outside was not flat ground. Nie Chongyang anxiously grabbed Liang Ping, preventing him from falling.
At this moment, the scene before Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping changed once again.
They were not at the door on the first floor. Liang Ping was actually hanging outside the window on the highest floor. If Nie Chongyang had not called out to him in time and pulled him back, Liang Ping would have fallen directly from the window and died here.
Liang Ping's heart pounded. With Nie Chongyang's help, he was finally pulled back. His legs went weak, and he slumped to the ground, gasping for breath.
"That was close!"
Nie Chongyang, thinking back to the situation, was still filled with lingering fear.
If he had woken up even a moment later, he would have lost his partner of many years.
Nie Chongyang was already so scared, let alone Liang Ping. He had personally experienced the danger of nearly falling. Falling from this height, he wouldn't even have had time to react. Even if he had the ability to save himself, he wouldn't have been able to use it.
Then, falling straight down like that would have been certain death.
They were ordinary people before. Although they had embarked on the path of cultivation not too long ago, if one were to be precise, it wasn't that long. Their awareness of using cultivation methods was still somewhat lacking.
Sometimes, when facing overly dangerous situations, they would still lean towards ordinary people's thinking and fail to react.
Even if there were ways to save themselves, they couldn't think of them at the time.
Liang Ping finally caught his breath and said to Nie Chongyang with a pounding heart, "It's a good thing you grabbed me. I really didn't expect it to be like this this time. I was careless again and almost lost my life."
Nie Chongyang held his forehead, also saying with lingering fear, "I was scared too. If I had sensed it any later, let alone saving you, I probably would have fallen with you."
Such a perilous situation was indeed beyond their expectations.
They were not cautious enough and almost had an accident.
Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping also recalled that Ye Tiancheng and the others had mentioned that in such matters, non-human existences had many ways and means to lure humans.
The little fox had almost fallen for it before, nearly overlooking the abnormal environment and being tricked into jumping from a tall building.
Ye Tiancheng had also told them about this, urging them to be vigilant and to maintain extreme focus when facing non-humans. Yet, they had still almost fallen for it.
Liang Ping sighed slightly and said, "It's also that before, we had tried to do something similar, and encountering a different situation made us momentarily careless."
Nie Chongyang thought about it and then shook his head.
He said, "If you think about it carefully, isn't it the same situation?"
Liang Ping looked at him with some confusion.
"Huh? The same?"
Nie Chongyang explained to Liang Ping, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, when we walked to the main entrance before, the location changed, and then we were sent to the third floor, facing the wall of the third-floor corridor."
"But in reality, at that time, we had also walked to the main entrance, and then the scene changed."
"It's just that this time, the location of the scene change was much more dangerous than last time. If we hadn't stopped ourselves last time, at most we would have just hit the wall. But this time, if we hadn't reacted and walked straight through, we would have fallen out of the window."
"Although the degree of danger is not the same, in reality, the situation is the same. We were just sent to another place, but the window is more dangerous than the corridor before."
Liang Ping thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.
Because the location of the previous transition was not as dangerous, they had subconsciously become careless. If Nie Chongyang hadn't had a premonition and been more vigilant, they would probably have both met with disaster by now.
Due to a lack of vigilance, when they reached that place for the second time, if they hadn't foreseen the danger and found no obstruction, they would have definitely walked out directly.
However, regarding this, Ye Tiancheng and the others had said that in such abnormal spaces, what the eyes saw was not necessarily real, and all their senses would be deceived.
Therefore, they had to approach what they saw with suspicion and only act after confirming it was true.
Liang Ping said helplessly, "Regardless, I've learned my lesson now. I almost lost my life. If I don't learn from this, then I deserve to die."
Nie Chongyang was also very troubled.
"Then in this situation, how should we scout ahead? Aren't we even afraid to wander around?"
Liang Ping couldn't think of a good solution for a while.
What if they went somewhere else and, without paying attention, encountered a similar situation and were transferred to some dangerous place? Then even gods couldn't save them.
He was suddenly startled and said to Nie Chongyang, "We've encountered such a thing. If those young people who came here really encountered some strange event and panicked, wanting to escape, and rushed out of the door without looking, then they..."
Nie Chongyang shook his head.
"Then there's no saving them. We can't bring them back from the dead."
Liang Ping sighed slightly and said, "They don't cherish their lives. I really don't know what those people are thinking."
"But..."
Liang Ping paused slightly as he spoke.
Nie Chongyang asked, "But what?"
Liang Ping said to Nie Chongyang, "But since there's such a situation here, I think this situation probably isn't just directed at us. What do you think? Could the people who had accidents here before have encountered a similar situation?"
"Or, are there other complex factors, for example, they offended something else, but the reason for their death, perhaps this is also one of them?"
Nie Chongyang nodded after hearing this and said, "That's very possible. Ordinary people would definitely find it difficult to discern in such a situation. And if there were other emergencies, how could they care about so much? They would only focus on escaping in a panic."
In such a situation, which ordinary person could escape from this environment?
Whether it was the immediate danger or the trap ahead, with wolves in front and tigers behind, caught in a dilemma, it was definitely a situation with a nine out of ten chance of death.
Liang Ping looked troubled for a while before saying to Nie Chongyang, "Then what do you say? Shall we try to see if we can contact Ye Tiancheng and the others?"
"What we can't think of, they might be able to."
Nie Chongyang also knew this.
Ye Tiancheng and the others would definitely know more about these matters and react faster. Perhaps they would have ideas sooner than them, but...
Nie Chongyang said, "It's a pity that due to the sudden change this morning, we didn't have a chance to contact them. After they received our note, they probably wouldn't wait there all day. To contact them, we'll have to wait. At the very least, we can only hope for tomorrow morning."
Liang Ping asked Nie Chongyang, "Then what do we do now?"
Nie Chongyang thought for a moment and then said, "I think it's quite late now, so let's go and wait there. Then, if Ye Tiancheng and the others do pass on a message, we'll definitely receive it immediately."
"Moreover, we've been busy all day. Regardless, we need to rest well and regain our spirits. Waiting there is fine too."
"Let's see if we can contact them tomorrow and then discuss other matters."
Liang Ping nodded and said, "Then that's all we can do."
After agreeing, Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping planned to go to the previous room together to rest temporarily.
They weren't made of iron and didn't get tired.
Even if they had to look for people again, they wouldn't do it overnight. The main reason was that their current situations were very dangerous, and they couldn't worry about others.
They stayed in that place. If those young people were still alive, they might also come there. If they met, they would also protect those young people.
Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping, familiar with the way, found the room.
Moreover, due to the lingering fear of almost falling, they repeatedly confirmed that there were no problems with this room. Walking in, it was real, not an illusion, and they wouldn't fall out from anywhere. Only then did they enter with peace of mind, and then took out some simple travel gear from their storage space, planning to make do for the night.
Their storage spaces were not lacking in items like sleeping bags and tents. They would have no problem camping outdoors.
After resting there, they also took out some food, recuperating and eating to replenish their strength.
It was quite a way to find some humor in adversity.
In this ghostly place, entering layer after layer of spaces like nesting dolls, they couldn't be completely sure of the truthfulness of the people around them, even after repeated confirmations.
They trusted, yet couldn't fully trust. They were afraid, yet couldn't abandon them.
It was like even when Nie Chongyang and Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were together before, the four of them ate food from their own storage spaces, and they never exchanged food.
Otherwise, if even one person had a problem, what they would have to face would likely be total annihilation.
For such a long time, among the four of them, perhaps not a single person had been able to sleep soundly. If they continued like this for a long time, collapse would only be a matter of time.
Long-term lack of rest would inevitably lead to bad consequences.
At night, Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping chatted while sorting through clues and situations.
Suddenly, Liang Ping remembered a problem.
He said to Nie Chongyang, "Captain Nie, I've suddenly thought of something."
Nie Chongyang asked him, "What have you thought of?"
Liang Ping said to Nie Chongyang again, "Our current situation, we should have entered another space, right? And then we've now come to this room. Can we really be sure that this is the correct room?"
"What we can be sure of, at most, is that this room won't threaten our lives, right?"
"But it seems we can't confirm that the two rooms are the same room."
"If that's the case, if we wait here, can we really contact Ye Tiancheng and the others?"
Nie Chongyang was slightly taken aback.
It wasn't that Liang Ping was being overly worried; this was indeed a problem worth worrying about. If the space here had really descended into such chaos, then they might truly find it difficult to confirm where they were.
This situation would not be a good thing.
If they couldn't contact Ye Tiancheng and the others, that would still be a small matter. They were afraid that they would be deceived because of this.
