The three of them lay quietly on the ground. After a while, Lin Sanjiu realized that there was no sound beside her.
She quickly flew up to take a look. She saw that the siblings' eyes were closed and their faces were as white as a sheet. Both of them had fainted.
The siblings' injuries were more serious than she had imagined, especially Reno. This was especially so for Reno. As he had caused such a huge explosion at close range, both of his legs had been pierced by countless shrapnel fragments. Blood and a mixture of fat seeped out from his wounds and stuck to his pants. Lin Sanjiu couldn't even look at his wounds.
With his body in such a condition, he naturally couldn't go anywhere.
After Lin Sanjiu found a knife from the siblings' bodies, she used her higher consciousness form to look like two fingers. She held the knife and cut Reno's pants, revealing a large bloody wound. It was a ghastly sight.
After his "equipment" was destroyed, it looked no different from a torn piece of clothing. Lin Sanjiu picked up a slightly cleaner piece of cloth and wiped the area around the wound with some difficulty. Then, she stopped. Even though there were quite a number of pharmacies around the area, the alcohol and drugs in them had probably been corroded by the dark matter. Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to use them on the siblings, who were already so weak.
Just like that, Lin Sanjiu stayed by the side of the unconscious siblings, a little worried. Depending on the situation, Lin Sanjiu would feed them some water from time to time. She would also roll up a piece of torn clothing and place it under their heads. That was all she could do. They could only rely on their own bodies to survive.
The sky at Kisaragi Station darkened once again. Lin Sanjiu estimated that the daytime here was at most four to five hours. Furthermore, this place was shrouded in a gloomy gray color all day long. There was no sign of life.
The curtain of night slowly painted the scenery into pieces of silent, standing black shadows.
"That's weird... Are there no survivors in this world?" Lin Sanjiu mumbled to herself as she walked around the siblings, bored out of her mind.
Just like how a corpse attracted flies when it was placed too long, the two half-dead people lying on the ground for a long time would attract many duoluozhongs. Sometimes, when Lin Sanjiu wasn't paying attention and turned around, she would see a grayish figure lying between the siblings. Every ten minutes or so, Lin Sanjiu had to chase away a few duoluozhongs. It was quite annoying.
Initially, she had asked Mrs. Manas to keep an eye on them. He wanted to take the opportunity to cultivate his Willpower, but every now and then, he would be called to "chase away flies". Naturally, he could not do anything but rely on the natural recovery of his Willpower.
But fortunately, after a period of tempering, it had become much stronger. The recovery rate of his Willpower had also greatly increased.
In the pitch-black night, under the pale light from inside the station, there were two motionless bodies lying on the ground. A skull was floating in the night sky, and a few thoracic vertebrae were slowly forming below it. If anyone could see this scene, they would definitely think that this was the scene of a duoluozhong killing people.
Just as this thought disappeared from Lin Sanjiu's mind, a voice suddenly rang out. Then, Mrs. Manas said in an annoyed tone, "... If you have time, can't you think of something good?"
"Huh?" Lin Sanjiu uttered a meaningless syllable.
Mrs. Manas seemed to be too lazy to explain. Instead of answering Lin Sanjiu's question, she opened up a panoramic scan in Lin Sanjiu's mind. The scanning range was unprecedentedly vast. Lin Sanjiu was shocked when she saw it.
"Don't act like a country bumpkin." For some reason, Mrs. Manas sounded very unhappy, "Now that your Higher Willpower has increased, you can naturally scan a wider range … What's so surprising about that?"
Even though that was the case in theory, Lin Sanjiu had always limited her scanning range to a few meters around her due to the principle of "conserving resources". After such a long period of time, she had formed a habit of thinking. Now that she could suddenly see every detail within a kilometer radius, she was not used to it.
At the same time, Lin Sanjiu also knew why Mrs. Manas was a little annoyed.
"Jinx!" Mrs. Manas grumbled.
At the edge of the scanning range, there were a few office buildings about a kilometer away from Lin Sanjiu. On the rooftop of one of the buildings, there were a few small black shadows.
They were pointing at the station.
Lin Sanjiu focused her mind, and her higher consciousness zoomed in like a high-powered telescope. She imprinted the images of those tiny figures in her mind.
"No wonder they called me a jinx." Lin Sanjiu had just said, "Where are the survivors?" and described the scene in her mind. Surprisingly, it came true.
The few people who were lying on the edge of the rooftop were all on high alert. One of them, who seemed to be the leader, pointed at Lin Sanjiu and said something while waving his arm. Then, he made a slashing motion.
Even though Lin Sanjiu couldn't hear him, she felt that he was saying, "There is a powerful person in front of the station. Brothers, don't go easy on him."
"Huh? Why is there such a troublesome thing … "Lin Sanjiu's first reaction was to wail," Could it be that everyone can see my Higher Willpower? "
"Of course not," Mrs. Manas answered.
"Then, then … What is this? These two children had specially put on equipment to train, so they could see me. That's understandable … How come even people I meet occasionally can see me now? "
"Since these two kids can see you, there must be other ways in this world to see your Higher Willpower. As for why you can meet people who can see you … Hmm, I guess it's a coincidence, "Mrs. Manas said slowly. She sounded very irresponsible.
Lin Sanjiu immediately sensed that something was amiss.
"… Is there something you're not telling me?" she asked suspiciously. It seemed like the team formed by the few people in the distance wouldn't arrive anytime soon. Lin Sanjiu could use this time to make some preparations.
Mrs. Manas remained silent for a while.
"No." When she spoke again, her tone was raised. She sounded a little too innocent.
Lin Sanjiu looked at the people in the scanned image and weighed her priorities. She decided to put Mrs. Manas aside for now. After all, if she thought about it carefully, this might not be the only thing that Mrs. Manas had hidden from her. She had to find a time to settle the score. Lin Sanjiu suppressed her suspicions and split her body into two. She planned to move Reno and Rena to another place before the group of people arrived.
This kind of fight that came looking for her out of nowhere. Lin Sanjiu had always felt that there was no need to fight.
Lin Sanjiu wouldn't go to the residential area near the train station no matter what. Even though the residential area was very far away from the building she had been living in and looked completely different, she didn't dare to risk the siblings' lives.
The office building in the other direction was also ticked off from her list of choices, so there was only one place nearby that she could barely fit in. Therefore, there were only a few pharmacies nearby.
Even though she had found a place, the process of moving the siblings was more troublesome than she had expected.
With the current strength of the higher consciousness, it was still possible for it to carry one person and fly at a low altitude. However, carrying two people at once like before would consume too much of its energy. Lin Sanjiu originally thought that she could carry them one by one. However, after she grabbed Reno and flew a few meters toward the pharmacies, she suddenly 'looked' behind her. She had no choice but to abandon Reno and rush back to where she came from.
"Get lost! I'm talking to you!" As Lin Sanjiu cursed angrily, she curled up her body and shot towards the unconscious Rena like a cannonball. A child with two braids on the back of his head, who was facing away from Rena, was startled. He stood up in a panic and tried to run into the train station. He turned his body sideways and revealed the other braids on his face.
From the looks of it, it was the famous ghost story spirit that "when you turn your head, you'll see a strand of hair".
Lin Sanjiu had long been annoyed by these spirits. She sped up and slammed into the back of the child with the braids. With a strange howl, half of the child's body lost its shape and turned into a puff of green smoke. Without half of its body, the child ran desperately into the depths of the train station. Only then did Lin Sanjiu stop.
However, it wasn't easy for her to chase the child away. Lin Sanjiu floated up and looked through the window of the train station. She saw something crouching beside Reno.
Mrs. Manas couldn't help sighing as she 'watched' Lin Sanjiu fly back and forth between the siblings tiredly. After a long time, she finally managed to move them into the pharmacy.
"You've been running back and forth like a bear plucking corn. Where's the slightest bit of concealment? I'm afraid those people have already seen which direction you're heading in. I think they will come looking for you soon, "Mrs. Manas said resentfully.
Lin Sanjiu didn't mind. Lin Sanjiu replied nonchalantly. Then, she carefully checked the situation in the store. She had purposely chosen the smallest pharmacy in the store so that she could protect the siblings at all times.
"Look at those people. Don't they just want to take the train?" Lin Sanjiu asked. Lin Sanjiu said as she turned behind the counter. She immediately came face to face with an old man with a pair of huge eyes. She immediately extended her higher consciousness and threw it at the old man's face. After the old man let out a sharp hiss and dissipated into smoke, Lin Sanjiu said, "We were blocking the entrance of the train station just now, so it's reasonable that they had to find trouble with me. Now that I've taken the initiative to avoid them, they can just get on the train. Why are you still clinging to me? "
What Mrs. Manas said made sense.
"If those people really just want to take the train," Lin Sanjiu thought to herself.
About twenty minutes later, when Lin Sanjiu was sitting alone in the pitch-black night watching over the siblings on the ground, she finally heard extremely soft footsteps coming from the direction of the train station.
If she hadn't been prepared and focused her higher consciousness on that direction, she might not have heard the footsteps at all. They were too soft, like a cat walking on a carpet. Lin Sanjiu even suspected that she was imagining the footsteps after seeing a picture.
She became a little nervous.
There were a total of four people, and they were all males. Unlike what she had guessed, they were obviously not survivors from this world. Not only were they all wearing the same dark blue combat suit, but they also had a tacit understanding that they had developed from working together for a long time. From the looks of it, they didn't try to hide themselves, but their movements were still very soft. It was obvious that they had gone through professional training and formed this habit.
"Who are these people?" Lin Sanjiu mumbled to herself. Of course, Mrs. Manas wouldn't have an answer.
One of the four people was led by the tall and muscular man that Lin Sanjiu had seen earlier. They stopped at the entrance of the train station and spread out in a semicircle. They scanned their surroundings cautiously. The white light from the train station illuminated them from head to toe. When Lin Sanjiu saw them, she had the urge to wake the siblings up.
"Look at them! They are fully equipped! "Lin Sanjiu said to Mrs. Manas excitedly," Look at that heavy machine gun! That pair of boots! That pistol clip! And that combat suit! "
Judging from her tone, it was as if she couldn't wait to rip off the entire set of combat suit and wear it herself.
"Do you think firearms and ammunition work here?" Mrs. Manas was rather calm, "Don't tell me they are a small mercenary team from another world. They probably haven't experienced the hardships of Kisaragi Station yet, right?"
Lin Sanjiu stared at the combat team as if she was mesmerized. She didn't know if Mrs. Manas had heard her.
"Hey, maybe they weren't looking at you just now. Maybe they couldn't even see the spirit..." Mrs. Manas gloated at Lin Sanjiu's misfortune. Suddenly, a woman slowly walked out of the train station.
It wasn't quite accurate to say that the woman was walking. Her legs looked as if they had been broken and twisted into a fried dough twist. She was slowly "swimming" out of the train station. The closer she got to the combat team, the wider the smile on her face. Her dark eye sockets were almost squinting.
Mrs. Manas seemed to be right. The expressions of the four members of the combat team didn't change. They didn't even notice that something was coming from behind them.
The smile on the woman's face almost fell off her face. She slowly stretched out her hands. Just as she was about to place them on the shoulder of the man closest to her, the man suddenly moved his shoulders. Then, without turning his head, he casually fired a shot. Blue flames exploded in between the woman's eyes. Before the expression on her face could change, she had already turned into smoke.
"Hey, don't waste your bullets on this kind of thing!" The man who seemed to be the leader immediately turned around and shouted. While Lin Sanjiu and Mrs. Manas were still in a daze, the captain paused for a moment and ordered, "Don't forget what we are here for. Spread out immediately and search for that half-skeleton!"
