Just a momentary halt in thought,
Blood already began dripping from Luo Di’s body.
The pain forced him to come to his senses and look at his body,
Three heads extended tongues from their mouths, piercing through his body, and one tongue even ruptured the stomach, causing bleeding in the digestive tract.
Luo Di suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood.
The tongues piercing through his body continued moving, pulling him closer, seemingly trying to fuse him in for a family reunion.
Looking at the happy expressions exposed on the rotten heads of his family.
Luo Di’s skin felt electrified, a sensation named fear swept over him completely.
But his tongue could still taste a flavor,
This taste suppressed the fear throughout his body.
His gaze dimmed, as if he was giving up resistance, slowly being pulled to the headless corpse, allowing the tongue to wrap around his body near the neck.
"Luo Di, welcome home."
The next second, just as Luo Di was about to have his neck snapped, separating head from body.
The metal bat inserted on top of the headless corpse was pulled out.
Coincidentally, a ray of moonlight just shone in, illuminating the scene.
Various pieces of flesh splattered around,
The headless corpse was completely shattered by a bat, the body utterly crushed, a power far beyond normal.
Feeling the illumination of moonlight,
And the murderer aura from the bat,
Luo Di recalled a memory.
Remembered experiences with pituitary, Black Door, Moon, Corner, and the like.
Could also feel the existence of these things.
[Corner System] activated and restored.
However, his own designation remains "baseball player," this fundamental setting seems deeply marked within the soul, irremovable.
Even having regained abilities and memories related to the Corner system, they still complement this fundamental setting.
The purpose of his train journey remains to participate in the pre-admissions of the local university in Wenslim City.
As he felt the Corner’s power filling his body, a voice came from below:
"Luo Di, since you don’t want to come back to our home, mom, dad, and sister will go to your new home instead, hope you don’t mind.
If there’s anything you want to eat, just tell mom in advance, I’ll make it for you."
Luo Di suddenly looked at the ground, Thıs content belongs to NoveI[F]ire.net
The head that was smashed actually crawled on its own, flowing like rotten flesh into his pants, permeating his body.
He suddenly pulled open the zipper of his baseball shirt and lifted his clothes.
The heads of his parents and sister had already emerged, staring at him with smiling eyes.
Neat and orderly, soothing rail sounds echo in his ears.
Luo Di gradually waking up,
Leaning back on the leather train seat.
Except now the view outside isn’t night, but day, lush greenery flashing by.
The carriage wasn’t just him; seven scattered strangers sat within it, the other passengers apparently alighted at the previous platform.
Seeing the sweat from the nightmare’s aftermath,
His immediate response was to get up and grab his luggage, checking for the essential baseball bat.
Pulling open the zipper, seeing the metallic shine inside brought him relief.
As he prepared to find something to kill time, he unexpectedly caught a glimpse of red, forcing him to pull out the baseball bat.
The everyday maintained metal bat was unexpectedly stained with blood, and it wasn’t yet coagulated.
"What happened last night wasn’t a dream?"
Realizing this, Luo Di suddenly lifted his clothes, looking at his abdomen. Thankfully, there were no heads, only six faintly visible abs.
Feeling somewhat relieved, Luo Di hurriedly took out some tissues to quickly wipe off the blood on the bat.
"How strange, I should be in the Corner now, and doing something important.
Why is this a trip to a city, attending college pre-selection? With my current capabilities, I could become an investigator.
Could it be that during my exploration in the Corner, I got involved in some special event?
This event, once activated, would disrupt a portion of my memories until it concludes?
Are the other passengers on the train also individuals drawn into this event?"
Luo Di checked his Moon Pituitary once more, checked the Dungeon, victims, and plant to confirm he was indeed in the "germination stage".
He then cast his gaze towards the other people in the carriage.
Currently, four people have awakened:
1. A graceful and quiet young lady with proper posture, slightly turning her head to look at the scenery outside. Sharing the same black hair as him, but her skin is whiter and more delicate, especially her long white legs under the skirt.
2. A man with a bulbous nose blowing a balloon, with some white makeup residue left unwashed on his face, probably working in a circus. He’s currently blowing a balloon with a long structure making it into a small dog, looking harmless.
3. A youth squatting on the train seat, holding a book in front, almost burying his whole face in it, seemingly completely absorbed by the story inside.
4. A middle-aged man seriously savoring pieces of smoked meat, chewing each piece in his mouth for a long time, even sucking the oil stains on his fingers clean, fully engrossed in consuming.
During Luo Di’s observation, another individual woke up.
A young girl with light golden hair and a face full of freckles.
He immediately observed her behavior carefully,
If she’s an "investigator" like him, having encountered similar events, upon waking should urgently check her body or search for something.
Upon waking, the girl first quickly looked at her hands, paused for a moment, then picked up her suitcase. After confirming everything, took out a makeup bag and started touching up.
However, instead of aiming the opened makeup mirror at herself, she aimed it at Luo Di, who sat beside her.
The girl immediately smiled, raised her right hand, and actively greeted him, revealing she had noticed his peeking.
Luo Di gave an awkward smile and shifted his gaze away.
Now, only two people haven’t awakened,
One is sitting at the very front, a huge burly man, who clearly doesn’t look like an ordinary person, his entire head covered by a hood, snoring loudly.
The other sits right in Luo Di’s row.
The girl sleeping with her head resting against the window, black hair, Asian facial features, dressed in a classic school uniform.
Just a glance, his gaze was drawn by her extremely delicate face, difficult to look away.
Strangely, they are unfamiliar, meeting for the first time.
Yet Luo Di vaguely feels this girl is quite important, but he doesn’t actively approach, just quietly observing her.
The big guy at the front woke up, the only one still asleep was this girl.
The train suddenly entered a tunnel; after brief darkness, everyone’s gaze shifted to the window.
The sunny scene outside was now covered by thick mist.
The tunnel crossing took less than five seconds, impossible under normal circumstances.
The train gradually slowed down, stopping before reaching a station.
The newly awoken burly man was the first to get up, preparing to check the situation at the car.
Just as he opened the door connecting to the next carriage, the sight before everyone stunned them, some even stood up.
Outside wasn’t the next carriage, but outdoors.
Though the fog was very thick, it was still possible to see the tracks, rubble, and some surrounding greenery.
It’s as if this carriage had detached from the main body, left here alone.
The blonde girl who had previously locked eyes with Luo Di approached him.
"Hello~ First time meeting, do you want to get off and check the situation together? You look pretty reliable."
Facing her pure and lovely smile, Luo Di, intending to agree, was drawn again to the black-haired girl sleeping by the window.
"You go ahead and check the situation with them; I’ll stay on the train."
Something flickered quickly in the blonde girl’s eyes, returning to normal swiftly. After making a temporary farewell gesture, she followed the other passengers to get off and investigate.
Luo Di, holding the baseball bat, temporarily stayed in the seat.
Keeping watch beside the sleeping girl to prevent her from encountering any unknown danger.
