Carriage, Thick Fog, Stranger

Tick-tock tick-tock~

It was just a momentary mental block.

Fresh blood was already dripping from Luo Di's body.

The pain forced him to look at his body.

Tongues shot out from the mouths of all three heads, piercing through his body. One of the tongues even ruptured his stomach, causing gastrointestinal bleeding.

Puff!

Luo Di suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Gaga~

These tongues, which pierce through his body, continue to move, pulling him closer, seemingly wanting him to merge into them, thus achieving family reunion.

Looking at the happy expressions on the rotting heads of his family members.

Luo Di felt as if he were being electrocuted, a feeling of fear sweeping over his entire body.

But his tongue could still taste something else.

It has a bitter taste.

The smell suppressed all the fear in my body.

His eyes dimmed, as if he had given up resisting. He was slowly pulled in front of the headless corpse, and the tongue slowly wrapped around his body, reaching near his neck.

"Luo Di, welcome home."

It seemed that in the next second, Luo Di would be strangled and decapitated.

Whoosh!

Blood splattered.

The Metal Bat that was stuck in the top of the headless corpse was pulled out.

Just then, a ray of moonlight shone in, illuminating the scene.

Knock... bang!

Various chunks of meat flew everywhere.

The headless corpse was completely destroyed by a single blow, its flesh smashed to pieces; this force far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Feeling the moonlight shining,

Feeling this power,

And the murderous aura emanating from the baseball bats,

Luo Di recalled a memory.

I recalled my experiences with the pituitary gland, the black gate, the moon, the corner, and so on.

You can also feel the presence of these things.

[Corner System] Activate and restore.

However, his core identity remains that of a "baseball player," a fundamental concept that seems deeply ingrained in his soul and impossible to eradicate.

Even after regaining the System Abilities and memories related to the corner, the work is still being completed around this underlying setting.

The purpose of his train journey was still to travel to Wenslaim City to participate in the pre-admissions process for the local university.

Just as he felt the Corner Power, a voice came from below:

"Luo Di, since you don't want to come back to our home, then Mom, Dad, and your sister will go to your new home. I hope you won't mind."

"You can tell Mom in advance what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."

Luo Di suddenly looked down at the ground.

Despite his shattered head, it could still crawl on its own, flowing like rotten flesh into his trouser leg and seeping into his body.

He abruptly unzipped his baseball jersey and lifted the shirt.

His parents' and sister's heads were already protruding, staring at him with smiles.

Rumble rumble~

The orderly, soothing sound of the train tracks filled my ears.

Luo Di is gradually waking up.

He was leaning back in a genuine leather train seat.

This time, however, it wasn't night outside the window, but daytime, with lush green plants flashing by.

He wasn't alone in the carriage; there were seven strangers scattered around, and the rest of the passengers seemed to have gotten off at the previous station.

"A dream?"

Looking at the sweaty hands brought on by the nightmare,

Luo Di immediately got up, grabbed his bag, and checked to see if the most important thing—the baseball bat—was still there.

When he unzipped the zipper and saw the shimmering metallic sheen inside, his anxiety subsided.

Just as he was about to find something to kill time, he unexpectedly caught a glimpse of red, which forced him to suddenly pull out his baseball bat.

"This is!"

The metal baseball bat, which is maintained daily, was stained with blood, which had not yet congealed.

"What happened last night wasn't a dream?"

Realizing this, Luo Di abruptly lifted his shirt and looked at his abdomen. Fortunately, there was no head on it, only six faintly visible abdominal muscles.

call...

After breathing a sigh of relief, Luo Di quickly took out a tissue and wiped the bloodstains off the baseball bat.

"How strange, I should be in a corner right now, doing something very important."

Why go to a city to participate in university preliminaries? My current abilities are more than enough to become an agent.

Could it be that I got caught up in some special event while exploring the corner?

Once this event is triggered, it will disrupt a part of my memory until the event ends.

Were all the people on the train individuals caught up in the incident?

Luo Di once again examined his Moon Pituitary Gland, the dungeon, the victims, and the plant to confirm that he was indeed in the "Sprouting Stage."

He then turned his gaze to the other passengers in the same carriage.

Four people have woken up so far:

1. A poised and quiet Girl sat upright, her head slightly turned as she looked out the window. She had the same black hair as him, but her skin was whiter and more delicate, especially her long, fair legs beneath her skirt.

2. A middle-aged man with a bulbous nose and some unwashed white makeup on his face is blowing up a balloon. He probably works in a circus. He is currently blowing up a long, thin balloon and making it into a small dog. He looks harmless.

3. A young man squatted on a train seat, holding a book in front of him, his face almost buried in it, seemingly completely absorbed by the story inside.

4. A middle-aged man who is seriously enjoying a slice of smoked meat can chew each slice for a long time, even licking the oil off his fingers, completely immersed in eating.

While Luo Di was observing, another person woke up.

She was a Girl with light blonde girl and freckles on her face.

He quickly and carefully observed the man's behavior.

If it were an "agent" like him who had experienced the same thing, he would probably be eager to check his body or search for something after waking up.

really,

After waking up, the Girl quickly looked at her hands, paused for a moment, and then took out her suitcase. After checking them, she took out her makeup bag and began to touch up her makeup.

However, the opened makeup mirror wasn't pointed at her, but at Luo Di sitting next to her.

The Girl immediately smiled, raised her right hand, and greeted him, having already noticed his peeping.

Luo Di just gave an awkward smile and looked away.

Now only two people remain unconscious.

One of them was a huge, burly man sitting in the front row. He was clearly not an ordinary person. His entire head was covered by a hood, and he was snoring loudly.

The other person happened to be sitting in the same row as Luo Di.

The Girl, with black hair and an Asian face, was sleeping with her head resting against the window. She was dressed in a classic school uniform.

With just one glance, I was captivated by her incredibly exquisite face and couldn't look away.

Strangely, it was completely unfamiliar, the first time I'd ever seen it.

Luo Di had a vague feeling that this Girl was very important, but he did not take the initiative to approach her. He simply observed her quietly.

soon.

The big guy sitting at the front woke up, leaving only the Girl still sleeping.

At this time,

The train suddenly entered a tunnel, and after a brief period of darkness, everyone looked out the window.

The previously sunny outdoor scenery is now covered by Thick Fog.

The tunnel crossing time was less than five seconds, which is impossible under normal circumstances.

at the same time,

The train gradually slowed down and stopped before reaching the station.

The burly man, who had just woken up, was the first to get up and go to the front of the car to check the situation.

But when he opened the door to the connecting passage between the carriages, the scene before him stunned everyone, and some people even stood up.

The door led not to the next carriage, but to the outdoors.

Despite the thick Thick Fog, the railway tracks, gravel, and some greenery were still visible outside.

It was as if their carriage had detached from the main structure and was left behind alone.

It was at this moment that

The blonde girl who had previously made eye contact with Luo Di took the initiative to approach him.

"Hello~ It's our first time meeting. Shall we get off the bus together and check things out? You seem quite reliable."

Looking at the other person's innocent and lovely smile, Luo Di, who was about to agree, was once again attracted by the Black-haired Girl sleeping by the window.

"You go down with them and check the situation first. I'll stay in the car."

"Oh..."

Something flashed quickly in the blonde girl's eyes, then returned to normal. After making a gesture of temporary farewell, she followed the other passengers off the bus to check the situation.

Luo Di, holding a baseball bat, remained seated for the time being.

They stayed by the sleeping Girl's side to prevent her from encountering any unknown dangers.
