Chapter 204: She Quickly Familiarized Herself With the Transom Window

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

Lin Sanjiu knew that she wasn’t known for her intelligence. However, if she knew that they would end up in that situation, she would have rushed out of the bathroom to kill the person who was fast asleep outside when she heard the flushing sounds from the bathroom upstairs.

Right now, she had already been trapped in that residential apartment for close to ten days. The word ‘trapped’ wasn’t quite right. If Lin Sanjiu could steel herself, she could just fly out from the window because she wasn’t imprisoned by anyone or anything. Outside the window, Kisaragi Station World stretched out boundless under the gray skies.

Yet, she couldn’t leave. One of the reasons why she couldn’t leave walked up to her. The girl whispered to Lin Sanjiu softly, “I already asked him to make something to eat.” Rena pursed her lips and looked gloomy. The stress she felt over these few days had caused a few pimples to appear on her usually smooth skin.

As she spoke, Reno hummed as he entered the kitchen.

“When should we kill him?” Rena asked. After that, the teenage girl bit her lips, trying her best to control her hands, which trembled every now and then.

Lin Sanjiu, in her brain form, wished to just let out a long sigh. Everything began from the night when she heard the flushing sound.

———

On that night, fourteen days ago, when Lin Sanjiu heard that sound through the thin ceilings, her ‘fingers’ froze. She had always assumed that there was no one else in this building. However, if she thought about it carefully, none of them had gone past the 15th floor. It was possible that there were survivors living upstairs. After all, spirits wouldn’t have to use toilet bowls.

Lin Sanjiu thought about it for a moment and decided to go upstairs to have a look. Anyway, she was just a ‘brain spirit’ right now, so only duoluozhongs and people who had their eyes corroded by black matter could see her. She might as well take advantage of this worry-free form and make use of the freedom she had.

After making that decision, she immediately turned and flew out of the transom window. However, after she flew just a few meters upward and was about to reach the 16th floor, she heard a sudden sound of footsteps from the floor below. She heard the door opening and realized that one of the siblings had entered the bathroom.

Lin Sanjiu was startled, she suddenly remembered that her body was still in the bathtub downstairs. If it just scared the siblings, it wouldn’t be that much of an issue. However, it would be troublesome if the kids threw her body out of the building impulsively!

At that moment, Lin Sanjiu couldn’t care to look through the window of the bathroom on the 16th floor. She sped back through the transom window and found herself facing Reno, who had just walked into the bathroom. The teenager was staring speechlessly at the body in the bathtub.

‘That’s me’, Lin Sanjiu quickly spelled. Before he could react, she immediately turned her body back into a card.

“Ah… Ah…” Reno uttered for some time with his mouth wide opened before he managed to say something. “You… you? You? That’s you?” His first few words were quite useless. After he sorted his thoughts for a few seconds, he blurted out a few important questions, “Isn’t that a corpse? Where did you place it? Are you dead? Are you a spirit?”

If Lin Sanjiu were to tell him everything from the start, it would take so long that it’d be dawn. Lin Sanjiu considered for a moment and gave him a simple reply: ‘I’ll tell you next time’. Then, she flew out of the transom window once more. It was only then that he realized that the grayish brain had squeezed itself into the bathroom through the window. “Hey, where are you going? Why are you running off by yourself again?” he asked urgently.

Judging from his expression, Lin Sanjiu instantly felt like a dog which had been adopted by some kids. She hesitated and replied him by spelling: ‘Someone upstairs’. While Reno stood in a daze, thinking about the meaning of her words, Lin Sanjiu had already slipped out skillfully from the window once again.

As with most residential buildings, the unit above usually had the same layout as the unit below. The brain which had flown out from the bathroom window of the 15th floor would naturally end up in the bathroom of the unit above.

The bathroom on the 16h floor was totally dark. The person who used the toilet had obviously finished his or her business and left after switching off the lights.

“Are there really survivors here? ” Lin Sanjiu thought to herself as she squeezed in from the window.

Compared to the other places in this world, though there seemed to be less activity in this building, there were many things suspicious about it. Ignoring the rest of the weird occurrences, there was certainly something very wrong with the elevator. If there were any survivors living here in such a devil-may-care manner, they would immediately be targeted by those spirits, wouldn’t they?

The door of the bathroom was slightly ajar. Lin Sanjiu tilted her ‘body’ to a side and glided out from the bathroom, almost like a ballet dancer.

As expected, the layout of this unit was exactly like the one below. After she came out from the bathroom, she found herself in a corridor which led to the living room. There were also two bedrooms to her left. As the lights were switched off, she could only see the shadows and the outlines of the furniture.

Even though her higher consciousness acted as her eyes and ears, and it constantly scanned the surroundings around her, it was also affected by the the amount of light in the environment. The clarity of the image Lin Sanjiu could ‘see’ was only slightly better than her normal eyes.

When she looked around, floating immediately outside the entrance of the bathroom, she could only see a vaguely familiar figure in the middle of the living room from the image in her mind.

However, that was enough. When Lin Sanjiu realized what it was, she was instantly stunned. For a split second, she stopped moving.

She saw a bed. There was a bed in the middle of the room, and the sofa and coffee table beside it had been pushed aside. Not only did it look exactly like the bed that the siblings pulled out. The person sleeping on it was the same. Lin Sanjiu recognized her at once.

“Lin Sanjiu, where did you go again?”

Rena, who had bundled herself in the bed, quickly jumped up when she saw the grayish brain floating outside the bathroom. The girl even sounded on the verge of tears. When the teenager rushed toward her, Lin Sanjiu realized that there were tears at the corner of Rena’s eyes. “I thought something bad happened to you. My brother went out to look for you, but neither of you returned. I waited until now. Everywhere feels creepy, but I can’t see them… Please say something. Did you see my brother?”

Lin Sanjiu was shocked. ” If Rena is in front of me, who is the person downstairs?”
