Silvanus snapped his eyes open and discovered that, aside from Vivian who was still held in his arms right beside him, everyone else had vanished without a trace.
The space before him was a corridor built of golden bricks, with countless branching paths stretching forward and backward. Grass and vines sprouted from the gaps between the bricks.
Vivian yawned deeply. "This is awful. I was clearly eating chicken in my dream."
Silvanus gave her a slight shake and said, "Then wake up properly now. Hurry and sniff out where the others are."
Vivian said, "…I'm not a dog."
Silvanus said, "Sniff."
Vivian could only wrinkle her nose and sniff, even though she was furious inside.
"This way!" she said, both hands tilting as she pointed toward a passage on the left.
Silvanus did not hesitate and ran off.
At the same time, Matthew also realized that the space had changed. In an instant, he returned to his normal appearance.
