Illusions

Only a few minutes earlier, Feng Chen and Shu Yao had made their way down the spiral staircase and arrived inside a long hallway that seemed to go on forever. Different from the underwater cave that Zu Fei had found herself inside of after she recovered from tumbling down the spiral staircase. 

"Zu Fei is not here… Did we perhaps get trapped in some kind of illusion while moving down the staircase…?" Being the first of the two to speak, Shu Yao narrowed both of her eyes as she said this while examining the makeup of the hallway that they found themselves inside of. 

The fact that Zu Fei was not on the bottom of the staircase was already weird enough, but the endless hallway had caused all of her senses to warn her not to enter the hallway and instead remain on the staircase.
