"Hurry up... What?"
Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at the newspaper in her hand for a long time.
"It can't be what I think it is, right?" she muttered to herself as she slumped into her seat. "Wasn't this train the one that protected me from those teachers and students?"
However, she wasn't sure. After all, this world was too strange. She wasn't even sure what kind of apocalyptic world it was.
"I think I've heard of this world before …" Lin Sanjiu furrowed her brows. She couldn't remember where she had heard it before. She was at her wit's end now. "Should I use Higher Consciousness Mimicry?"
"Maybe Nuwa could see through this world in one go." Now that I think about it, Nuwa is a great cheating device for me. "
"You can't do that," Mrs. Manas' voice suddenly rang in her mind. Lin Sanjiu was already on tenterhooks, so when she heard Mrs. Manas' voice in the quiet carriage, she jumped up, "Your current Higher Consciousness is not strong enough to imitate Nuwa, Lin Sanjiu."
"So, it feels so good to be able to talk to someone..."
Even though Mrs. Manas was neither a living person nor a normal person, Lin Sanjiu still felt her body warming up.
Every word Mrs. Manas said was precious. Lin Sanjiu treasured it and asked, "Why is it not enough? Wasn't it enough last time? There's no reason for my higher consciousness to be getting lesser and lesser, right? By the way, what happened in the academy? "
Mrs. Manas went "uhhhh" for a long time, but she didn't answer her directly, "Sigh, even though your current condition is very strange, I have something that I need to use your higher consciousness to deal with … Anyway, if you imitate Nuwa, you might not be able to do it for long before you fall unconscious."
Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to lose consciousness in this strange place. She immediately changed her mind. She still wanted to talk to Mrs. Manas and get her to explain. However, she realized that no matter how hard she called out, there was only dead silence in her subconscious. There was no response at all.
Loneliness enveloped her once again.
Ever since she evolved, especially after the series of events with Nuwa and the "newbie", Lin Sanjiu rarely felt agitated. Lin Sanjiu rarely felt agitated, especially during the few days before she met B.Rabbit and his group. There were a few times when she felt that she was abnormally calm.
But now, she was irritated, which was rare for her.
The strange sense of calmness that she had felt before had disappeared without a trace. However, Lin Sanjiu missed it. If only she could calm down and not be as jumpy as she was now. Perhaps she had already thought of a way to deal with it.
The cracked green leather of the seat was uncomfortable.
The carriage was very quiet and spacious — but it was as if someone was deliberately holding their breath, which was why it was so quiet.
Other than her, there was no one else.
Lin Sanjiu felt a vague sense of dread. She was also annoyed by the large words on the newspaper. She flipped the newspaper back and forth, shaking it loudly as if she was trying to inject some life into the train.
The big head that gave her a fright just now was some kind of "Occultist". Obviously, it was a term that was exclusive to this world.
In order to calm herself down, Lin Sanjiu forced herself to ignore that line of words. He read the report.
Fortunately, the newspaper was also written in Chinese. Although some of the words and phrases were unfamiliar to her, she understood most of the gist of it. It turned out that this "Darkness Scientist" named Le Ben had always enjoyed an international reputation until a few years ago, when he published a theory that shocked the whole world and caused mankind to enter an era of fear and trepidation.
However, after a few years, Le Ben's theory did not come true. More and more people in the field of occultism stood up to question and attack him. In the end, he became a joke. Angry people smashed his house and the research institute refused to let him go back to work. When Le Ben, who was in his forties, appeared on television again, he was already a somewhat deranged white-haired old man.
Even the article dedicated to his interview was written in a mocking tone.
At the end of the article, he quoted an impassioned and world-famous quote that he made on television.
"The invasion of dark matter is only a matter of time. When the end of the world comes, I only want to save my believers! "
The words in the article were very clear and the newspaper had not even turned yellow yet. When Lin Sanjiu read this, she folded the article and sighed.
The end of the world had arrived. It seemed that Le Ben, the Darksider, was right. Lin Sanjiu wondered if he was still alive in some corner of the world … But what did he mean by "invasion of dark matter"?
There were many related terms in the article that she had never heard of before. Naturally, she couldn't understand them. Putting down the newspaper, Lin Sanjiu's mind was still filled with questions. However, she seemed to have calmed down a little.
The train clattered on the ground. The city streets and residential buildings on both sides of the train passed by rapidly. Other than the fact that there was no one on the train, everything seemed normal.
As the number of tall buildings decreased, Lin Sanjiu spent two hours on the train safely before she arrived at Bamboo Grove Mountain Station.
When the door opened, Lin Sanjiu stood at the side of the carriage and looked out hesitantly. Soon, her heart was at ease.
There were no buildings that were too close to each other, and there were no strange people … The train station was very clean. There were a few stalls selling tourist souvenirs, snacks, and drinks. Through the transparent glass walls, Lin Sanjiu could see a part of the mountain in the distance.
Aside from the fact that it was too quiet and empty, it looked like a normal tourist station.
After thinking for a while, Lin Sanjiu finally stepped out of the carriage and stood on the platform.
The reason why she got off the train wasn't because of the large sentence on the newspaper. The sentence was contradictory and there was no beginning or end. She couldn't use it as a basis for her actions. However, staying on the train wasn't a long-term solution. She was freezing and wanted to find some winter clothes to wear.
After all, the train had once provided shelter for her. Lin Sanjiu turned to look at the carriage. She felt a little uneasy as she was about to leave this safe place.
"I hope I didn't do anything wrong."
Of course, the unmanned train wouldn't respond to her. The door closed quickly and the train rumbled away with a loud whistle. Lin Sanjiu was left alone looking around.
The exit of the train station was very obvious. It led directly to the road outside, so Lin Sanjiu wasn't worried that she wouldn't be able to get out. However, it was unbearably cold outside. She quickly ran to a stall near the exit and put on a few orange-red vests with the words "Bamboo Grove Mountain Scenic Area" printed on them.
However, she didn't feel much warmer after she put them on. They were too thin, and she could even see her arms. Lin Sanjiu trembled as she converted a bag of food and drinks from the stall into a card. Then, she ran out of the train station.
The scenic area waited for her in silence. (To be continued.)
