One.
"…"
This place was … a subway station.
Between the stationary Ershi Min, Lin's pompon slowly moved forward.
Because there was no fire, Lin was moving forward in complete darkness. However, thanks to her sense of smell, Lin could still see her surroundings.
The same was true for Noel, who was beside Lin.
Noel was currently following Lin's pompon, carefully moving forward.
Earlier, Lin had injected 'anti-coagulation dust' into its skin. She had also put a lot of it into its protective suit, allowing it to move around in a solidified environment.
At the same time, she had also buried a strand of hair with a neural structure into its … brain.
This way, Lin would be able to send it images of the environment detected by her sense of smell at any time.
Thus, Lin and Noel could now … move around without using fire. The reason Lin didn't use fire was not because she didn't want to use it, but because … fire had self-destructed.
Not long ago, Lin had noticed an abnormality within Noel's body. Perhaps it was because Lin had modified its internal system, causing it to continuously produce anti-coagulation dust 'unwillingly'.
In the end, Lin noticed that many of its internal organs had begun to … operate in reverse. Its body soon collapsed due to this abnormality.
So, Lin and Noel could only move around without using fire.
Their next goal was … to get on the next subway.
Earlier, Noel had tried to awaken Ershi, causing it to fall unconscious for a while. However, after waking up, it … realized something.
It indicated that it had made contact with Ershi's nervous system, but something was obstructing it … preventing it from fully awakening Ershi.
It believed that this was caused by some solidified creatures, and it needed to get rid of those solidified creatures first.
And these solidified creatures that were interfering with it … were likely to be on the next subway.
"It's coming."
Suddenly, a subway entered the subway station.
Just like the subway that was driven away earlier, this one should also be … occupied by some solidified creatures and made it move. However, Lin wasn't sure how they controlled the subway.
Ignoring that for now, Lin and Noel quickly moved to … the entrance of the subway station.
Everything here was in a solidified state, including the air. Earlier, Lin had thought that moving through the solidified air might be … very difficult. But in reality, that was not the case.
It was as if he was moving through normal air, and he didn't feel any obstruction.
The subway door had been smashed apart. Lin and Norm stopped in front of the door. At the same time, Lin carefully inspected the environment inside the subway.
There were many Ershi Min's … body parts in the subway.
These seemed to be the original passengers, but their bodies had all been dismembered into pieces … and they were floating in the carriage.
There was also a solidified creature inside the carriage. This creature … felt very much like … a piece of cloth.
It was more than a meter in length and width, and was only three centimeters thick. It was like a piece of soft cloth that floated slowly in the carriage.
Because the edge of this' cloth 'seemed to be very sharp, the Ershi Min might have been cut by it.
"Do you think this is the solidified creature that's stopping you?" Lin asked Promise.
"Yes, but not all of them," Noel said. "We need to get rid of all the solidified creatures in this car first."
"… Then what should we do?"
"…" Norm was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking of a solution.
Because in this place, conventional weapons would not be able to do anything unless they were pulled into an anti-solidification field before attacking. This meant that there was no way to kill a target from a distance.
Just as Promise was thinking, the subway began to move … it seemed that it intended to move again.
"This is the only way."
Saying that, Promise moved. He charged into the subway and ran towards the cloth-like creature floating in the middle. When he was close, Promise raised his left hand and waved it repeatedly.
At this moment, the cloth-like creature noticed Promise. Lin noticed that its originally soft body tensed up in an instant, and at the same time, it flew towards Promise.
In a short moment, a corner of the cloth-like creature pierced into the ground of the carriage. At the same time … it also cut off the creature that was flying towards it, which was Promise's waving left hand.
When Promise's left hand was cut off, he quickly raised his right hand and punched the cloth-like creature on the ground with all his might.
Crack — — The cloth-like creature that was hit became like glass … and cracks appeared all over its body.
This seemed to be quite interesting.
Lin flew to Promise's side and grabbed the left hand that was cut off. She pressed it back on its body and asked, "What's with this creature?"
"… It can rapidly change the nature of its body." Promise said, "But during the process of transformation, it will become very brittle. If you attack it at this time, it will shatter."
"But it's not the only one here. Let's go to the next carriage …"
Before Nuo could finish its words, it froze in place.
It seemed … to have fallen into a coma again. Lin checked its brain and found that it was very similar to its previous state.
But this time, it was not completely unconscious. Lin found that it was … dreaming.
Lin looked at the content of its dream and found that the scenery in its dream was also Ershi's subway. Moreover, it was a very lively subway filled with Ershi Min who were all black.
This dream sounded strange, but Lin did not continue to look at it, because …
"Rumble — —"
At this moment, the subway started moving. With the shaking of the carriage, all the Ershi Min's body parts floated around and bumped into each other.
Lin found that the subway seemed to be traveling on a very unstable surface. The faster it moved, the more it shook.
Generally speaking, it would not shake … Ershi Min's subway did not touch the tracks.
But …
"Boom — —!" In a sudden violent tremor, a large number of body parts bumped into the left side of the carriage. At the same time, Lin saw … a solidified creature.
This solidified creature appeared outside the window on the right side. Its shape looked like Ershi Min's hand, and it was more than a meter long when it was spread out.
It crawled quickly on the window. Soon, Lin saw many more of these 'hands' appear on the window.
These solidified creatures did not look very dangerous. They were just crawling around.
But just as Lin thought that, she found that a few of them seemed to want to dig through the window … and began to hit the window with their bodies.
"… You'll hit it!"
Suddenly, Noe woke up and let out a nervous cry.
"Rumble — —!!!"
