The saying "extreme joy turns to sorrow" probably referred to Lin Sanjiu today.
As soon as the three paper cranes flew out, she was overwhelmed with joy and excitement. She felt as if she could turn into a beam of light and fly into the sky. Because she was so happy, the "Karma Museum Manual" that she had put in her trouser pocket and had yet to finish reading fell into the sea when she ran a few steps after the paper cranes and subconsciously jumped over the railing.
"Forget it. I'll get another one when I get ashore."
As Lin Sanjiu recalled the scene of the paper cranes flying away, she tried to figure out where they were heading to as she walked toward the cabin. Just as she sat down, she suddenly remembered something. The paper cranes that she had sent to Marcie had also flown away without a hitch.
She had almost forgotten that when she tried to contact Marcie in the game world, the paper crane made a circle and fell back to the ground … This should mean that Marcie had completely turned into a real human.
Lin Sanjiu felt a lump in her throat. She wanted to sigh, but at the same time, she wanted to laugh.
From Marcie, who could only exist as a personality, to the point where even Luyan could not expel her, to the point where even the paper crane and the apocalyptic world it represented finally recognized Marcie as a human … Lin Sanjiu had spent more than ten years to achieve this. She had no idea how much suffering she had gone through during this period.
However, it was probably fast.
Before Luyan died, he once said that the process of a personality slowly turning into a real human was so long that it could last a lifetime. It was precisely because she did not want to wait until the end of her life to become a real human with autonomy that she decided to —
Lin Sanjiu shook her head. The memories of that time were still vivid in her mind. Today was a day filled with joy and hope, so she did not want to think too much about it.
Now that she thought about it, all the parting, wandering, tragedy, and suffering she had experienced in the past were because of the apocalypse. In order to survive in the turbulent and unpredictable apocalypse, posthumans could only plunder, attack, and destroy. However, even if there was only the slightest hope of settling down, such as the Twelve Worlds that were slowly unfolding before her eyes, humans could still display astonishing tenacity, cooperation, and creativity. They could build something that was beyond imagination … Beyond imagination …
What exactly was this thing that was beyond imagination?
Also, why did they build this thing? "
After getting off the ferry, Lin Sanjiu stood at the destination. She stared at the world in front of her. For a long time, she did not know what she was looking at.
Or rather, she knew what it was, but she did not understand what was going on.
Initially, Lin Sanjiu thought that the giant sphinx was already a strange building, but at the very least, it was just a statue that could turn its head, so it wasn't completely out of her imagination. On the other hand, this seemingly ordinary square building in front of her was even more confusing.
Other than the fact that it was too big, it was too wide, and it was too tall, it looked like an ordinary warehouse. Lin Sanjiu could barely see a small patch of the sky from the top of the sapphire blue roof. She had to turn her head left and right to see the end of the shutter door. It was so long that she had to turn her head left and right to see the end of it. The grayish dust shrunk into a thin line under the door frame, revealing the dimly lit interior of the building. Lin Sanjiu felt like she was being swallowed by the darkness.
A cargo truck that was at least twenty stories tall was parked on the cement floor between the pier and the huge warehouse. It was the reason why Lin Sanjiu was so stunned.
This was because there were people hanging on every floor of this high-rise moving vehicle.
Although these people were hanging on the metal arms of the trolley like roast ducks, they were quite relaxed. Some of them were sleeping like bats; some were sitting in a basket, playing video games with their legs bent; some were hanging on the same hook with their companions, their limbs dangling in the air, but it did not stop them from chatting, and they seemed to be chatting happily.
… Aren't the things that people built in the Karma Museum a little too arbitrary? What was the use of this?
"Hey! Hey! "
Just as Lin Sanjiu was in a daze, she suddenly heard a faint voice in the air. She followed the sound and looked around, but did not see anyone.
"Up there! Look over here! "The voice grew louder, as if it was coming from far away.
Lin Sanjiu raised her head and realized that the person who was shouting was in the large moving truck. The wheels of the moving vehicle were as high as a two-story building. The person who was shouting seemed to be sitting in the front of the vehicle with his head peeking out. It was as if he was shouting from a tall building. Lin Sanjiu had to be a posthuman to be able to hear him amid the bustling aircrafts and ferries.
"Fire hydrant! Pick it up! "
'Fire hydrant?'
Lin Sanjiu looked around and found a row of small red pillars that looked like fire hydrants at the disembarkation point. However, they were definitely not real fire hydrants because there was no fire hydrant with a microphone attached to it.
She wrapped her higher consciousness around her hands and face and picked up the microphone hesitantly. To be honest, this scene was a little too surreal. It felt more like a dream than a dream.
"Why are you standing there? Why don't you get in the car?"
As soon as she picked up the microphone, a quick and urgent voice came out of it. "Hurry up! If you don't get in the car, we will have to wait for the next delivery. You are the only one left. Get in the car!"
"Wait," Lin Sanjiu interrupted, "Why do I have to get in the car? What … what's with this warehouse? "
"What do you mean by 'why do I have to get in the car'?" The person in the car was stunned for a moment before he said, "If you don't get in the car, do you want to stand at the port forever?"
Lin Sanjiu felt as if they were on different channels.
"Today is my first time in the Karma Museum," Lin Sanjiu quickly explained, "I don't understand why you guys are hanging on this moving vehicle."
The person seemed to understand.
"Sigh, it's so troublesome to explain the Karma Museum to a newcomer. Don't you have a booklet or something?" He sighed and said, "You can study the details when you get inland. Now, get in the car as soon as possible. If you don't get in the car, you can only stay at the port. You won't be able to walk to land. Besides, this moving vehicle can only depart once an hour. There can't be any leftover goods at the port. If you don't get in the car — "
"Leftover goods?"
"Yes," the person explained patiently, "Didn't anyone tell you that when you bought the ticket to the 'freight warehouse' station? Anyone who disembarks from the ship here is temporarily considered a piece of cargo. You can't walk on your own. After all, no cargo can walk around on its own. If you want to go to land or other places through the freight warehouse, you can only be transported by the freight system of the warehouse. "
