He Ao turned around in the direction pointed by the boy's Shadow.
Behind him, the corridor doors that were originally neatly arranged and seemed to extend to the end of time, had inexplicably developed a hollow.
Within this hollow, a staircase leading to the 'upper level' faintly revealed itself.
And He Ao clearly remembered that the staircase wasn't there just now.
A light, illusory mist poured down from that staircase, covering more than half of its shape.
Indeed, it is possible to 'ask for directions'.
He Ao turned around, looked at the empty void in front of him, and smiled, "Thank you."
With that, he turned directly, glanced at his field of view showing his Physical fitness, 95.
He pulled out a piece of jerky, bit it, lifted his foot, and stepped onto the mist-shrouded staircase.
Behind him, the children on the wall watched his figure fade away, then swarmed the child holding the green leaf and began to frolic.
A faint, hazy green lightly shimmered on the leaf.
