Virgil quickened his pace, wanting to run towards the figure ahead of him, but something unbelievable happened.
No matter how fast he sprinted, he found that he simply could not get any closer to the blurry silhouette!
How... How is this possible?
Instinctively, he tried to put on the red mask, but just as he was about to do so, something that seemed to emanate from the core of his soul was fiercely rejecting it!
It was like an instinct!
Just as a baby knows how to chew food without being taught, this instinct prevented Virgil from putting on the red mask!
Then, the blurry figure ahead in the darkness once again vanished...
Looking around at the darkness, Virgil suddenly lost consciousness...
...
When Virgil woke up again, he was lying in a single hospital room.
The first thing he saw upon waking was Lailiya.
"I..."
"You're awake!"
