Chapter 78
The spiral tunnel took them down slowly, like an elevator made of light and shifting energy. There were no walls you could actually see, and it felt less like moving through real space and more like going down through layers of memory itself."This doesn't feel real," Kira said, gripping Eren's wrist tight to keep her balance."It's not exactly real," Eren said back. "We're moving through the Drift system itself now."Elina stuck close behind them, her eyes huge as she tried to wrap her head around what she was seeing. The hallway wasn't made of metal or stone. It was built from tangled signals and data pulses, making a path through the actual framework of the Drift.They went down for almost a minute before light started spreading out ahead of them. The feeling of solid ground came back under their feet as they walked into a room so huge that the ceiling just disappeared into darkness above."Look up there," Elina whispered.Thousands of lights sparkled in groups and patterns like st

The reflection just sat there for a few seconds, totally still and clear. The black mirror's surface didn't move at all, but you could feel this weird electric buzz filling up the room. Eren stood right in front of it, not even fazed by his own face looking back at him."That's not just some regular reflection," Kira said under her breath, walking up slowly. "It's actually looking at you."She could feel this pressure building up in her ears and some strange vibrating under her feet. This wasn't just some random thing they'd found. It was like some kind of control panel, way more complicated than anything they'd run into in the Root or Vault rooms.Elina walked around the edges of the room, trying to scan the thing with her gadgets, but all her stuff just died without any warning."My equipment won't do anything near this thing," she said. "Whatever it is, it doesn't want us recording it or figuring it out."Eren lifted his hand toward the mirror, stopping just a couple inches away. T

The hills spread out like old bones across the north side of the valley, sharp ridges of rock and rusty metal from old fights that time had eaten away. Eren, Kira, and Elina moved carefully through the area, keeping their speed steady but careful."Still nothing from anybody," Kira said quietly, looking back for like the hundredth time.The air felt weird around them, not from being up high but from something invisible pushing down on everything. Every few minutes, Elina stopped to check if anyone was following them, but her gear still wouldn't work right."Whatever was guarding the Root place is still here," she said. "Like some kind of jamming that hasn't gone away yet."They got to the top of a hill that looked down at a narrow canyon filled with the leftover junk from old Freeman supply routes. Busted cargo stuff and twisted metal framework was scattered everywhere, what was left of a transport line that used to connect Freeman's northern bases."I know this spot," Eren said, look

The air felt different when the door closed behind them. They were cut off from the room where Eren had taken his test. Outside, everything looked the same—cold, quiet, covered in thick clouds and Freeman's heavy silence. But something big had changed.When Eren walked forward, the land acted different around him. There were no shakes or things you could see, but Kira felt it like something huge finally clicking into place after being broken for years."You're different now," Kira said, looking at him hard.Eren didn't look older or tired from whatever happened in that test room. But his eyes had something new in them that wasn't there before. Not just knowing things, but carrying something heavy. The kind of knowledge that makes you see everything differently."I feel more like me," he said simply. "More than I have since this whole thing started."Kira nodded. She got it. Whatever happened during that test, he picked it himself. No point worrying about it now. If he changed, it was

The newly opened hall stretched into darkness ahead of them, its walls smooth and solid. No lights marked the path, no signs or symbols, only that single word carved above the entrance: Convergence. The air inside felt warmer than the room they had left behind, like the temperature was changing to match their presence.Eren walked first, his steps calm and sure against the stone-like floor. Under the surface, a faint current seemed to pulse, like the pathway itself was alive."This feels different," Kira said quietly, following close behind him."The whole place is responding to us," Elina added, checking her equipment. "Or maybe just to Eren."They moved deeper into the hall, which started to slope downward in a slow spiral. The drop was so exact and steady that it mixed up Elina's sense of direction. The tunnel never changed in width or height, but the feeling in their bones got heavier with each step.
Chapter 71
They walked quietly through the dark, using just the blue glow from their gear and what was left of Elina's scanner. The ground ahead looked all torn up and empty, like nobody had cared about it for years. "This place gives me the creeps," Kira said, watching where she stepped around loose rocks. "Something really bad went down here." "Yeah, it's totally dead," Elina said, looking at her readings. "Freeman used it for testing stuff way back, but they never put it on any maps or anything." Eren was walking in front of them, moving like he knew exactly where he was going even though he'd never been here before. Ever since they left the Root place, he'd been acting different—not bad different, just like he was listening to something the rest of them couldn't hear. "How do you even know which way to go?" Kira asked, jogging to catch up with him. "I honestly don't know," Eren said. "It's like someone stuck a GPS in my brain, but instead of directions, it's just feelings about which w
