Chen Shi struggled to walk in the swamp, surrounded by many people just like him. These people were half-submerged in the swamp and had to exert all their strength to pull out their legs, taking a long time just to take a step.
Not far away, a man was walking when his leg fell into the swamp. He reached out to retrieve it, groped around for a long time, and finally found his leg.
After fixing his leg, he continued forward.
Chen Shi and the others in the swamp did not know their destination, but everyone moved forward aimlessly, as if a voice were calling them, guiding their direction.
In a nearby pool of water, there were faint blue flames that were hard to notice unless looked at closely.
Chen Shi saw a woman touched by this blue fire, which burned wherever it touched like a wick, and the woman served as the lamp oil, burning and shrinking at the same time.
The woman did not cry out in pain; her body grew smaller and smaller until she was completely consumed.
