Now that she thought about it, it was naive of her to think that she could fight against Kisaragi Station World just by breaking a cardboard humanoid.
Lin Sanjiu lowered her head quietly and tried her best to resist the chill that even her down jacket couldn't block.
The window of a room on the second floor was opened, and a face peeked out from it. He stared blankly at Lin Sanjiu, and the smile on his face was very wide. "Where are you going? Don't you want to play your game? "
This window did not belong to Unit 205 or Unit 207. This was Lin Sanjiu's room.
The Teru Teru doll was still hanging from the ceiling. Looking up from below, it was just a small black shadow spinning slowly above Douglas's head.
There was no light in Douglas's eyes. His face was like a mannequin. His stiff smile was very standard as he stretched his neck out of the window.
He was exactly the same as the teacher and student she saw at Mausoleum Elementary School.
Why didn't she notice it before?
Now that she thought about it, wasn't it very abnormal for him to have that standard smile on his face every day?
"Why are you still standing there like a fool? Run!" Mrs. Manas' voice rang in Lin Sanjiu's head. When Douglas slowly raised his head in confusion, Lin Sanjiu couldn't bear it any longer. She turned around and ran.
Her surroundings were already pitch black. In her panic, she couldn't see where she was going. All she knew was to run away from the hotel. Her frozen body refused to cooperate with her. After running for less than ten minutes, her lungs were burning and she couldn't catch her breath.
"Where, where did I run off to …"
It was dead silence behind her. There was no one or anything following her from the darkness. Of course, the lights from the hotel in the distance had already gone out. Lin Sanjiu held onto her knees and stopped running. She panted heavily. She felt that her limbs were frozen stiff and numb. It was as if her body had returned to its pre-evolution state.
Unbeknownst to her, the surrounding forest had closed in on her. Even though it was just a decoration, there were no streetlights.
Panting heavily, Lin Sanjiu looked behind her nervously. Fortunately, the cold didn't affect her vision. She looked forward and suddenly jumped. She couldn't speak.
At the back of this road, not too far away, there was a convenience store —
At the entrance of the convenience store stood a beautiful cardboard figure of a flight attendant.
Unlike last time, the stewardess wasn't looking in the direction of the station this time.
The eyes of the statue seemed to be following Lin Sanjiu. When she suddenly turned around, their eyes met.
The flight attendant's smile was still so beautiful, revealing her eight white teeth in the dark.
"I don't mind chopping you into pieces again," Lin Sanjiu felt that she couldn't bring herself to say something like that.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that this convenience store had appeared behind her meant that she was currently standing on the road leading to Bamboo Forest Mountain.
"Don't go to the Bamboo Forest Mountain."
For some reason, she still remembered Chen He's words very clearly.
"This world is too strange. Student Lin, please activate your Higher Consciousness barrier," Mrs. Manas said weakly. Lin Sanjiu had thought of the same thing, so did Mrs. Manas.
Lin Sanjiu was like a drowning person who suddenly grabbed onto a piece of wood. She quickly followed the method Mrs. Manas taught her and activated the [Defense Forcefield] that she had just learned.
"Every drop of your Higher Consciousness could determine your life and death, so I won't use it anymore," Mrs. Manas sounded very serious. Mrs. Manas sounded very serious. "My existence is also a form of higher consciousness consumption. During the period when the [Defense Forcefield] is activated, in order to strengthen it as much as possible, I will also disappear temporarily."
Once Mrs. Manas disappeared, Lin Sanjiu would be the only one left in the dark.
Lin Sanjiu nodded her head with some difficulty.
When the silence suddenly enveloped her and lasted for a few seconds, she suddenly realized that Mrs. Manas was already gone.
She silently activated the [Defense Forcefield] and a white light immediately lit up around her. However, it flickered for a moment before it quickly dimmed. She gritted her teeth and her body glowed again. However, this time, it dimmed even faster than the previous time.
If Mrs. Manas hadn't disappeared, she would probably be sighing now.
Logically speaking, the [Defense Forcefield] in its first stage should be a layer of faint light that floated on the surface of one's skin. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't even notice it. However, Lin Sanjiu was currently like a lightbulb with bad contact, flickering incessantly. This showed how much she lacked practice in this aspect.
Not only did Lin Sanjiu have to control the flow of her Higher Consciousness, but she also had to maintain a steady flow of it. Since Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to stay in the same place for too long, she had to move as fast as she could. However, no matter how difficult it was, she had no choice but to struggle through the minutes like a duck being chased onto a perch.
Lin Sanjiu first encountered a problem when it came to where she should go next.
There wasn't a single place in Kisaragi Station World that seemed safe. She had her back facing the hotel and she didn't want to turn around. She had a feeling that if she turned around, the cardboard figure would move a little further.
"Everywhere is the same for me, right?" Lin Sanjiu tried her best to calm herself down and analyze the situation rationally. "It seems that everything related to 'humans' is very dangerous … If that's the case, I might as well go into the mountains."
At least in the mountains, there weren't any cardboard figures or dead people's clothes …
However, Lin Sanjiu found a fatal weakness of the [Defense Forcefield] with a bitter smile after she walked for a short while on the dark road.
It wasn't that this ability wasn't good, it was just that she wasn't familiar with it yet. Once she activated the [Defense Forcefield], her body would flicker like a broken lightbulb. When it lit up, it would be much brighter than it should be. When it dimmed, it would go out with a whoosh.
Those who had used a mobile phone in the dark might understand that when one looked out from the edge of the screen, the room would look darker than usual, especially when it was flickering.
Especially with such a flickering light, her eyes didn't even have time to adjust before the light changed again.
Lin Sanjiu had to be on tenterhooks as she plunged into the darkness where she couldn't see anything, so she couldn't walk fast. After walking for five minutes, Lin Sanjiu suddenly smacked her forehead. She almost cursed herself.
How could she forget that she still had an [Ability Polishing Agent] when she activated the [Defense Forcefield]?
Lin Sanjiu let out a sigh of relief when she thought that she would see light soon. She quickly took out the Ability Polishing Agent and the [Vibroblade]. With the light in one hand and the knife in the other, the [Defense Forcefield] would glow white from time to time. Lin Sanjiu felt a lot more confident.
However, this confidence didn't last long.
After walking for a while, she felt that something was wrong.
The space behind her on the left seemed to be darker than the other places.
She turned her head slowly.
Not far behind her, in the chaotic space where the silver light and the darkness intersected, there was a tall man who was almost five meters tall. As if he sensed that she had slowed down, he bent his long neck.
His snow-white, featureless, flat face happened to meet Lin Sanjiu's.
"As expected, you can't walk in the dark because you don't know what will follow you."
