Lin Sanjiu had no idea where she was.
She had been awake for quite some time. She stood in the cold wind, feeling a little lost. She had no idea what was going on. Nothing made sense. She tried to list out all the things that happened before she entered the pocket dimension, but she still couldn't explain why she was here.
After she leaped out, the fleshy cavity behind her trembled like an injured animal. The milky white smoke continued to leak out from the hole for a few minutes. Lin Sanjiu, who was initially very cautious, soon realized that once the "milk" flowed into the air, it seemed to be diluted. It lost its original characteristics and dissipated involuntarily in the cold wind. Occasionally, she accidentally breathed in a little, but it only made her head spin for a moment. It didn't affect her much.
The coarse, cold, and hard rocks pressed against both sides of Lin Sanjiu as if they could close in and swallow her at any time. The gaps between the rock walls were narrow and irregular, and the skeletal wings on her back were a big headache. No matter how hard she tried to adjust the angle of her skeletal wings, she always bumped into them and felt uncomfortable. The only spacious space was where the fleshy cavity was. The fleshy cavity was right in the center, and there was an empty space around it.
Lin Sanjiu had long stopped looking up. With her posthuman's eyesight, the rock wall stretched all the way to the end of her line of sight, and there was only a faint white line above her head. The first time she looked up, it took her a few seconds to realize that the line was actually the faraway sky.
Sighing, she groped around the rock wall and took a few more steps forward. There was a thin layer of soil between the cracks of the rock. A few clusters of dark green leaves poked out from the thin layer of soil. It looked like a person in a fleshy cavity, about to die.
She had entered a pocket dimension with the members of the Smiling Mermaid, but why did she wake up in a fleshy cavity in the abyss? Lin Sanjiu had no clue.
The fleshy cavity had been smashed. The floor was covered with a sticky liquid. With every step she took, the liquid would drip on the soles of her shoes. Under the dim and dim light, the flesh cavity's original dark red color gradually withered and turned into a dying dark brown. Whatever it was, it didn't matter. Lin Sanjiu's attack had sent it to its death.
Moving the people out was much more difficult than Lin Sanjiu had expected. Even though a few of them looked relatively healthy, most of them had been in a coma for a long time and lacked nutrition. Most of them had been reduced to a pile of bones. When Lin Sanjiu tried to carry a girl, she heard a voice. When Lin Sanjiu tried to carry a girl, she accidentally brushed against the girl's thigh. Crack! The girl's leg bone separated from her pelvis, leaving only a thin layer of dried yellow skin connecting her leg to her body.
Without the "milk", these people might slowly wake up, but Lin Sanjiu had no intention to wait for that moment. There were thirty or forty of them that she had rescued from the fleshy cavities, and they were carefully placed in the passage. When this was done, she searched the card bank for water. After that, she found some water from her card bank and fed everyone some. Then, she stepped on the pitiful space between the bodies. Like a ballerina, Lin Sanjiu walked painstakingly towards the deeper part of the path.
The path on the other side was a little brighter and the terrain was a little higher. In less than two hours, it was a dead-end path made of mud and rocks. Even though Lin Sanjiu was very reluctant, the only way out was the dark, steep, and narrow stone gap in front of her.
This was the most uncomfortable "path" that Lin Sanjiu had ever walked on. Thousands of meters above the ground, there was a gap in the depths of the rock stratum. Lin Sanjiu struggled in the narrow and dark space that could make anyone claustrophobic. She had no idea how long she had been walking.
In the beginning, she was just doubtful and a little worried. However, as time went by, all that was left in her heart was hatred for her skeletal wings. The bumps and scratches on her wings were just a small matter. There were some places that were too narrow for her large wings to pass through. It was as if her limbs were forced to an impossible angle. Gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, Lin Sanjiu stretched her skeletal wings. Sometimes, she even had to fold them. Even she didn't know how she managed to squeeze her way through. Fortunately, no one could hear her screams of pain since they were so deep underground.
Just when she thought she was going to break her skeletal wings and throw them away, the space between the stone walls gradually widened. The space between the stone walls gradually widened. The light became brighter, the tunnel widened, and the slope increased. After crawling on all fours for a few hours, Lin Sanjiu realized that she was back on the ground.
There was a cacophony of voices, the occasional engine sound of a spaceship flying across the sky, and the muffled rumbling of an unknown source. For a moment, Lin Sanjiu felt as if she had returned to the human world from hell.
Two large, round moons hung over countless dilapidated buildings that were a few hundred stories high. The buildings were cut into countless sections by layers of electric wires. The hustle and bustle of people filled every corner that the lights could or could not reach.
It seemed that she was still in the Cyber District.
There was a deep gash in the ground, but to the passersby, it was a common sight. The spot where Lin Sanjiu crawled out from was only surrounded by a yellow ribbon to warn the passersby not to fall into it. When she crawled out, her skin was bleeding from the cuts made by the hard rocks. Her head, face, and limbs were covered in mud and dust. There was no part of her body that didn't hurt. However, no one spared her a second glance.
Enduring the pain, Lin Sanjiu took out the map.
"This is weird. Why are we back here?" After staring at the map for a while, Mrs. Manas spoke in her mind.
Even though she wasn't familiar with Red Nautilus, it didn't stop her from quickly locating her location. It was an abyss that spanned across half of the Cyber District. The people here named it the Grand Canyon and it appeared on the map like a scar. One end of the "Grand Canyon" was a wasteland. Lin Sanjiu was currently at the other end of the "Grand Canyon". She had seen the "Grand Canyon" once when she looked out of the window of the appraiser's house.
However, there was still a long distance between the Grand Canyon and the territory of the Smiling Mermaid. Lin Sanjiu couldn't figure out why she would end up at the bottom of the abyss.
Ever since she had lost "A Maiden's Sorrows", there was nothing that made sense or connected her.
Lin Sanjiu rubbed the map in frustration. Her hand paused as she remembered the red crystals she had spent on the map. "I don't know." Lin Sanjiu was a little annoyed. "However, I don't care who or what did this to me. Let this be their lucky day. I'm going to buy a ticket now."
Even though she was kind, she wasn't stupid. When she saw a dozen red crystals fall from the body of the person she was moving, Lin Sanjiu knew that getting a ticket was no longer a problem.
Even though she didn't have the right to take the money. Even Mrs. Manas, who had always had a high moral standard, agreed that perhaps the person who was unconscious at the bottom of the abyss needed food and water more than red crystals.
"But … what about the pocket dimension that is devouring Red Nautilus? Don't you care about it? "This time, Mrs. Manas wasn't as easy to talk to.
"I can't ignore it," Lin Sanjiu admitted. "But where is this pocket dimension?"
"You know it. It's in the territory of the Smiling Mermaid — "
"Logically speaking, I should also be in the territory of the Smiling Mermaid," Lin Sanjiu interrupted Mrs. Manas. "But when I woke up, I was here."
Mrs. Manas didn't speak for a long time. After a while, she said softly, "Then … maybe it's because the pocket dimension has devoured this place …"
"I don't see any difference from before," Lin Sanjiu said.
"That's because Sajee said —" When Mrs. Manas said this, she froze for a moment and stopped talking.
Lin Sanjiu smiled, but there wasn't much of a smile in her eyes. "That's right. Sajee said that. We entered the pocket dimension with her, but she wasn't in that meat cavity. "
That girl with an abnormal appearance must know something, but she didn't tell Lin Sanjiu and the others.
"When I meet Reno and the others, I will come back to investigate Sajee with the help of Progressor Alliance," Lin Sanjiu said as she walked towards the airship's registration point. As she walked towards the airship's registration point, she muttered to herself. "Before I find that woman, I can only hope that the forces in Red Nautilus can be a little smarter and not let things get out of control."
Perhaps, this idea wasn't that far-fetched after all. Lin Sanjiu walked into the crowded airship registration point and stood in front of the electronic information board for a long time.
She clearly remembered that Smiling Mermaid had already obtained information about the "Devouring Pocket Dimension", but she couldn't find any clues from the "Cyber Current Events". Instead, there were only news such as "CLASH has successfully returned from a Class-A world", "12 new apocalyptic worlds have been entered into the system", "Someone is buying plant-type Special Items at a high price" and so on.
"What's going on …" Lin Sanjiu frowned. She couldn't figure out what was going on. Shaking her head, she strode towards the ticket counter and blended into the crowd.
After the tall woman with the skeletal wings left, the young woman at the ticket counter looked down at her electronic information board. She browsed through the auction price of the visa four months from now. As expected, her price was too low for a Class-D world. Just when she sighed and didn't know what to do, she sensed another figure walking towards the ticket counter.
"Hello," the young woman raised her head and smiled in a semi-professional manner. Then, her voice froze in her throat.
The woman's eyes were like two deep, dry wells. There was not a single sclera in her eyes. Even though the young woman had to see hundreds of strange-looking people every day, there was something special about this woman that made the young woman shudder involuntarily.
The woman with a thick scarf seemed to realize that something was wrong with her. She lowered her head and looked at the reflection on the metal counter. Then, she raised her head again. This time, the sclera of her eyes appeared. The whites of her eyes appeared. It was as if she had pinched her black eyeball hard to show the whites of her eyes. She blinked her eyes hard and smiled.
"Where did the sister with the skeletal wings go? I want a ticket there, too. "(To be continued.)

I'm back. What's the reaction in the comments section … What the hell is the author in the village …
Thank you for your monthly tickets and tips. I have to go out now, so I don't have time to write a name list. I'll post them together with the next update ~
