A silence fell over the room when Hao Xuan stopped moving.
"How is this possible? How am I the only one like this?" he inquired in a low voice.
Mr. Hyde was floating beside him as usual, peering out the window they had come in from. His gaze was locked in the direction where the mist was the densest outside the building. It was like a wall that nothing could pierce through.
"I told you, don't try to make sense of what you see in this place. Do what you came here to do and leave quickly, you are not the only one walking around," he warned seeing as Hao Xuan was relaxed enough to still ask stupid questions like this.
Hao Xuan threw him a dirty look before walking towards the door. He craned his neck to peek into the dark corridor. There was nothing there other than a layer of black organic mass that grew all over the floor. (Keep in mind that Hao Xuan is upside down and is walking on the ceiling, so the floor is above him).
