Void Spirit suddenly became fierce. With a swift motion, he struck the arm of the corpse that was holding me, breaking it into two pieces. Since the corpse was too close to me, his strike also made contact with its head, shattering it completely.
Having freed myself from the restraints, Void Spirit took control of my body and stood firm. He scanned the surrounding swarm of corpses with his eyes. Then, with a light grunt, a terrifying power erupted from deep within me, transforming into a powerful gust that instantly shattered the nearby corpses into ashes.
"Why didn't you use this power earlier?!" I questioned Void Spirit from within.
Void Spirit replied, "It's not that I didn't want to use it, but because the situation was unclear. If I recklessly exhausted our power, how would we escape this..."
Listening to Void Spirit, I found some truth in his words. If I were in his position, I might have done the same. With that thought in mind, I asked him in a relatively calm tone, "So what do we do now?"
He pondered for a moment and said, "Since that voice claims you are the master of this place, can you control this space with your own consciousness?"
Actually, I had the same idea. So I began to suppress my emotions and tried to return to a state of tranquility.
As my mind gradually settled, the previously pitch-black space transformed into a bright white light that slowly radiated around us.
"It seems it's really true..." both Void Spirit and I said in unison.
"Then does that mean we just need to think about breaking through Onizuka to get out?" We both spoke simultaneously again.
"It seems you understand..." The voice in my mind suddenly echoed, startling me.
"What do you mean by 'understand'?!"
"Wait? No, how could I..."
Now I was completely confused because every time I spoke, it was at the same time as Void Spirit. Not only were our words identical, but even our tones were perfectly synchronized.
"How could this happen?! Could it be..."
"That's right; it's exactly as you think." Before I could finish my thought, the voice in my mind seemed to read my mind and responded.
Seeing me stunned in disbelief, it continued, "In fact, this space has always had only you in it; even I am you. The so-called Void Spirit is also a part of yourself. Only by understanding this can you truly comprehend this Onizuka."
"How can you be me? I know nothing about this Onizuka, yet you seem to know everything about it..." I said, bewildered.
Unexpectedly, the voice in my mind chuckled softly and replied calmly, "The question you just asked is the key to breaking free from this Onizuka. Whether you can leave or remain trapped here forever depends entirely on yourself."
"Then you have to give me some hints!" I urged, asking repeatedly. However, the voice fell silent, and even the Void Spirit within me vanished without a trace.
In the empty white space, silence enveloped me. There were no reference points to prove my existence, and I couldn't feel the passage of time; it was as if I were in a universe devoid of any planets.
I slumped down helplessly, gazing around at the blindingly white space, deeply feeling why living beings cannot exist independently.
Loneliness, emptiness, confusion, and being in such a space made me acutely aware of my insignificance. It felt as if a massive stone pressed down on my heart, making it hard to breathe.
Yet despite this, I tried my best to maintain my rationality, linking the circumstances of how I entered this place with what was happening now.
First, this space was controlled by my emotions. Secondly, the voice that had been guiding me told me that it was me, and the Void Spirit seemed to have disappeared because I had come to understand certain things.
Could it be...
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in my mind as if everything became clear. "I understand! I finally understand!" I exclaimed as I jumped up from the ground and shouted, "I realize that this space is a combination of my consciousness and Onizuka. My own consciousness influences the composition of Onizuka, resulting in this world that is merely a part of my awareness. In reality, the Void Spirit never entered this world!"
"And you..." I pointed above myself and continued, "The voice that appeared in my mind is actually because Onizuka sensed my consciousness and incorporated it into itself. The knowledge that the Void Spirit has about this Onizuka is also a result of being influenced by it."
"You can influence what I imagine, but you cannot affect my consciousness itself. Therefore, in this space, there have always been just the two of us! You govern Onizuka while I govern the consciousness that forms this space!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the surrounding Snowy Space suddenly began to contract and then started tearing apart like shattered glass. In an instant, there was a sharp crackling sound as the Snowy Space shattered into countless glowing points scattered in mid-air.
At that moment, I felt an intense burning sensation in my chest, followed by whispers from several people discussing something near my ear.
“Shen Xu, are you okay? Everyone else is asleep, why aren’t you awake? Is something wrong?”
“His breathing is normal, and there are no changes in his body. He should be fine; maybe he was just too exhausted before…”
Upon hearing this, I suddenly opened my eyes wide and took a deep breath, sitting up abruptly from my lying position.
“Where am I?!” I gasped, talking to myself while feeling beads of sweat rolling down my forehead.
“You're awake! Are you alright…” Hu Fang said as she took out a tissue, gently wiping the sweat from my forehead while looking at me with concern.
“I’m fine…” I replied, incredulously raising my hands, feeling an overwhelming sense of unreality.
At that moment, Li Zhisheng noticed my bewildered expression and asked, “Did you dream about something? I didn’t sleep last night and saw you tossing and turning in bed. I knew something was wrong, but since you didn’t seem unusual after waking up, I didn’t want to disturb you. However, I kept hearing you mumble about Dream Mound. What is that exactly?”
