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 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 hold back anymore. She turned around and ran.
Her surroundings were already pitch black. She didn't know where she was going and couldn't see clearly. 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.
She didn't know how long it had been. She was surrounded by patches of trees. Even though it was just a decoration, there weren't any street lights.
As she panted heavily, she turned her head around nervously. Fortunately, the cold didn't affect her vision. She looked straight ahead. Then, she jolted and 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, there was a beautiful cardboard figure of a flight attendant.
What was different from the last time was that this time, the flight attendant was a flight attendant. He wasn't looking in the direction of the station.
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 thought of this. Naturally, she had thought of it as well.
Lin Sanjiu was like a drowning person who suddenly grabbed a piece of wood. She quickly activated the [Defense Forcefield] that she had just learned from Mrs. Manas.
"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.
Suddenly, silence enveloped her. After a few seconds, she suddenly realized that Mrs. Manas had already disappeared.
She silently activated the [Defense Forcefield]. As expected, a white light immediately lit up around her. It only 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 before.
If Mrs. Manas hadn't disappeared, she would probably be sighing at this moment.
The [Defense Forcefield] in its first stage was supposed to be a faint layer of 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 light bulb with bad contact, flickering incessantly. This showed that she lacked practice in this aspect.
She didn't just have to control the "flow" of her higher consciousness. 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 push herself through minute after minute like a duck being chased onto a perch.
Lin Sanjiu first encountered a problem when it came to where to go next.
There wasn't a single place in Kisaragi Station World that seemed safe. Lin Sanjiu had her back facing the hotel. 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 dangerous … If that's the case, I might as well go into the mountains."
At least there weren't any cardboard figures in the mountains, and there weren't any clothes worn by dead people …
However, Lin Sanjiu realized a fatal weakness of the [Defense Forcefield] with a bitter smile after she started walking on the dark road for a short while.
It wasn't that this ability wasn't good, but she wasn't familiar with it yet. Once she activated the [Defense Forcefield], her body would flicker like a broken light bulb. When it lit up, it would be much brighter than it should be. When it dimmed, it would go out with a whoosh. There was almost no light at all.
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. Before her eyes could get used to it, the light would change 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 very fast. After walking for five minutes, she suddenly smacked her forehead. She almost cursed herself out loud.
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 slowly turned her head around.
Not far behind her, in the chaotic boundary between silver and darkness, walked a tall man who was almost five meters tall. As if he noticed 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." (To be continued.)
