"This warship isn't that big, so why does it feel like we can run forever and never reach the end?" But as he ran, Qiong'an started to sense that something was off.
The footsteps of the pursuers behind them remained faint but ever-present. They weren't necessarily catching up, but they were as persistent as a shadow, impossible to shake.
Although Qiong'an didn't know how to fly a spacecraft, he had tagged along to observe back when Hailan Star was looking to purchase warships developed by other planets.
'No matter how big a warship is, it can't be so big that we never reach the end!'
'And there's no way we'd still be on a straight corridor after running for this long!'
Sensing that something was deeply wrong, Qiong'an slowed his pace, gradually easing into a walk.
The faint footsteps of the pursuers behind them seemed to match his pace. They didn't immediately catch up, nor did they speed up. Instead, they slowed down right along with him.
