Chapter 30: SysDi 30: Checking the Right Path
After meditation, Evan stood up and stretched his limbs. No matter how many times he had done this before, he still would feel like his limbs had fallen asleep.
Once he had recovered, he made his way out of the house. Iva followed close to him, bouncing its slime body beside him or behind him as he walked. He wanted to do as he had told Iva earlier, back to the stone hill cave.
It didn’t take him long to do so.
Reading the words at the smooth stone, going down the stairs, walking through the corridor and then back through the branching paths, Evan is back where he was, two days ago.
He looked at the same characters at the smooth stone, still unreadable to him.
Although Iva said that it had already translated it, Evan couldn’t still understand what was on it. Is it because Iva isn’t fluent that he couldn’t read it?
It’s not the same as when he can read the words outside the cave after Iva had read it for him the first time.
Eager to find out more, Evan made his way towards the right path. He had made a little progress on the left and he had a taste of what was there. If the right path will give him something else other than traps, he might have better chances of finishing this side before the left.
He continued through, the corridor a little narrower than where he had come from. The path is wiggly, with plenty of twists and turns.
"30 minutes." Iva reminds.
Evan sighs at suddenly hearing Iva. He almost forgot that he had asked Iva to remind him of the time. "Are you noticing anything weird?"
