This chapter was very short, so it didn't take long.
When he was alive, his skin was clearly so warm, so elastic, and always glowed like honey. But now, in less than an hour, his skin was pale and stiff with a deathly aura. Just a glance at it would make one feel cold.
His eyes were wide open, and his amber pupils were motionless. They were frozen and emitted the dullness of death.
Without the warmth of life as fuel, his limbs quickly stiffened, and his lips turned purple. His hair, which had grown longer in the Garden of Eden and used to reach his shoulders, now lay messily on the ground, covering half of his face. The white bandage around his neck, his black singlet, his combat pants, and his slightly dirty boots …
Lin Sanjiu's face was reflected in the glass of the car door, lifeless.
Even though Lin Sanjiu had a tradition of collecting a corpse every time she arrived in a new world, she probably didn't expect that she would receive her own corpse in this world.
The story started 23 hours ago.
Not long after she woke up from the darkness, she realized where she was.
"Kisaragi Station?"
Lin Sanjiu was slightly taken aback. From the name, she had no idea what kind of world this was.
Why was this name so strange? Moreover, it sounded familiar. She seemed to have heard it somewhere before.
"No matter what, you will know once you experience it."
Up until now, Lin Sanjiu could be considered a veteran. She had experienced all sorts of strange and bizarre things, so she didn't panic. She was just a little curious about the world that she was about to enter.
She didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. It was as if she had just opened her eyes naturally. Suddenly, the ground beneath her feet shook, and she was almost flung off. She quickly grasped her surroundings to regain her balance. Her vision, which was covered in a layer of grey, quickly cleared up. She looked to her left and right and realized that she was standing on an escalator that was moving down at a steady speed. The grey around her was just the wall beside the escalator.
The steps of the elevator slid down one by one until it reached the flat ground. Lin Sanjiu walked out of the elevator in a daze as the buzzing sound of the electric motor reverberated through the elevator.
It was neither as barren and dilapidated as the Hyperthermal Hell, nor did it have the incredible sense of technology of the Garden of Eden. This space looked ordinary and unremarkable: the tiles on the ground looked a little yellow, as if it had been used for a long time; a beverage cup had fallen next to a plastic bag; standing in front of the dark and steep tunnel, one could see the subway route map when they looked up …
What Lin Sanjiu didn't expect was that "Kisaragi Station" was really just a train station. Or rather, she was at a train station.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no one around, walking in such a space would even make her feel like she had returned to the days when she went to work every day.
The surroundings were extremely quiet. Lin Sanjiu could clearly hear the crackling of the dim fluorescent lights. It was as if someone had used an eraser to erase the crowd, the noise, and everything else in this world.
Only the empty train station was still working as usual.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty train station. Sometimes, Lin Sanjiu had the illusion that there was someone behind her. The cold wind that blew from the tunnel caused goosebumps to form on her exposed skin. From the looks of it, this world should be in winter.
Even with the physical attributes of a posthuman, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help sneezing a few times.
"I need to find a winter coat when I get out of here …" Lin Sanjiu rubbed her arms and tried to find the exit to leave the station.
However, things didn't go smoothly.
She circled around the station a few times, but she couldn't find the exit. She even climbed up the escalator in the opposite direction. However, the next level was only the platform of another train. There was no exit to the surface. It was only after twenty minutes that Lin Sanjiu finally realized that the platform was sealed.
"Looks like this isn't just a train station in an apocalyptic world …" Lin Sanjiu took the escalator and returned to the place she first arrived at. Suddenly, she noticed something that she hadn't noticed before. She couldn't help feeling a little dumbfounded, "What kind of apocalyptic world is this? Why is there a vending machine here? "
A vending machine with a rusty corner was standing quietly in a corner. The white light from the machine shone on the various snacks and drinks, making them pale white.
When she got closer, she could hear the faint sound of the machine moving. It was also a little warm.
Lin Sanjiu didn't have any money, and she didn't plan to pay for it. Since the connected items would be turned into a card, she cut the cable and turned the entire vending machine into a card.
There was quite a lot of food inside, and it could last her for at least a week. It seemed that it wasn't that hard to survive in this world.
"Huh?"
Before she could heave a sigh of relief, she was a little puzzled.
The [Vending Machine] in her hand was very different from the other cards. It looked like an old photo that was accidentally overexposed. Most of the pictures on the card had faded and were soaked in a pale white. Even the words on the card were blurred. If one didn't know better, they would think that it was decades old.
[Vending Machine]
There were many snacks and drinks in the world of Kisaragi Station. Most of them weren't very healthy. "However, I don't think I need the food inside."
There was only a brief explanation on the card. It didn't mention why such a situation occurred.
However, for some reason, Lin Sanjiu couldn't get over the sentence "I don't need the food" out of her mind.
"Forget it. Who cares. As long as it's edible." Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and kept the card. "I better find a place to blow a hole in the wall."
Since the station didn't have an exit, Lin Sanjiu decided to make one herself. However, the moment she took a step forward, she heard a loud rumbling sound accompanied by two blinding white lights. The sound rushed into her eardrums at a rapid pace, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Lin Sanjiu was caught off guard. Her hair fluttered in the wind. She tucked her hair back, revealing a face that was drained of color due to the shock she felt.
A train had just entered the station and slowed down.
The incandescent lights in the carriages were very bright, illuminating the pale green chairs. However, every carriage was empty. There wasn't a single person inside.
When the train stopped, the doors of the carriages opened at the same time. Lin Sanjiu was the only passenger on the empty platform.
It wasn't until she absentmindedly boarded the train that she realized a problem.
"Huh … I didn't hear any sound before the train entered the station."
