Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 301 Admission
According to Jiang Miaozhi's speculation about the "solidified foundation," the enormous vitality and spiritual power within him were highly compressed, like an indestructible solid matter, making it impossible to form "flowing" energy.

He cannot cast spells or release energy; he can only manifest his power through the purest physical means.

Can this power, like the rules of Moon Station... be sensed? Will it be repelled?
It's impossible to be 100% certain about Yang Liu.

But he intuitively felt that his chances of successfully "sneaking in" were much greater than those of a standard psychic like Sasaki Reiko.

Someone has to go in and save Koizumi Rin.
He seemed to be the only suitable candidate, and the only one who could possibly succeed!
Once this thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.

Yang Liu took a deep breath, breaking the silence, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable determination: "Teacher Sasaki, since psychics can't enter, then I will go."

"You?" Sasaki Reiko looked up in surprise. "Ms. Yang, I understand how you feel, but..."

“You probably know something about my situation,” Yang Liu interrupted her, looking at her sharply. “I don’t have ‘flowing’ spiritual power in my body, so I can’t cast spells. Perhaps I can bypass that rule of rejection.”

Upon hearing this, Sasaki Reiko carefully examined Yang Liu.

She had indeed always been curious and puzzled by Yang Liu's peculiar "energy-less" state.

Hearing Yang Liu's words now, and considering the pure, extreme physical power he displayed in the previous battle, and the strange ability that seemed to directly affect the mind... perhaps... it really is possible?

However, the risks remain enormous.

“Even if you could get in,” Sasaki Reiko frowned, giving a serious warning, “it’s definitely not a safe place! It’s isolated from reality, time is distorted, and it’s filled with unknown dangers and terrors that could drive ordinary people mad! Moreover, we know almost nothing about the specifics inside! You’re going in alone…”

“I know there are risks,” Yang Liu said calmly, “but we have no better choice now. Xiaoquan is still inside, and every minute we delay increases the danger.”

His tone was calm, but firm enough.

Sasaki Reiko looked into Yang Liu's deep and determined eyes, remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.

“Alright,” she sighed, “since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll tell you everything I know about triggering the conditions to enter Kisaragi Station, as well as some possible precautions. But please remember, Ms. Yang, safety first! If things become impossible, you must find a way to escape!”

"I will," Yang Liu nodded.

Afterwards, Sasaki Reiko explained to Yang Liu in detail the most likely way to enter Kisaragi Station, based on past cases and legends:
It usually happens late at night, taking the last subway train on a specific line.

This route often passes by the station where the missing person was last seen.

As the train travels, it will gradually deviate from the normal track and enter a "non-existent" zone.

The environment inside the carriage will become abnormal, with few passengers, eerie lighting, and blurry views outside the window.

When the train finally stops at a dilapidated and desolate platform that it has never seen before, that place is very likely "Kisaragi Station".

Sasaki Reiko also repeatedly emphasized the importance of staying calm, not being dominated by hallucinations and fear, and trying not to stray too far from the main station building to avoid getting lost in deeper alternate dimensions.

Most importantly, pay attention to the abnormal passage of time. An hour inside may only be a few minutes outside, or it may be a day or even longer. Finding a way to leave is the key.

"How do we leave?" Yang Liu asked.

“Uncertain.” Reiko shook her head. “Legend has it that some people left by taking the return train again, while others found an ‘exit’ to reality somewhere in the station. But there is no conclusive evidence for these. Perhaps… when you solve the ‘core’ that caused the other dimension to exist, or when you meet some unknown ‘rule,’ the exit will naturally appear.”

Yang Liu memorized all the information.

……

……

Late at night, at a subway station.

In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the daytime, the subway station at night appears empty and desolate.

The stark white light shone on the cold, tiled floor, casting long, lonely shadows. Only one passenger, who had missed the last train, was wearily dozing on the platform.

Yang Liu was dressed in ordinary casual clothes and wore a baseball cap, trying her best to make herself less conspicuous.

He stood in the shadows of the platform, waiting for the last train that was supposedly most likely to trigger the "Kisaragi Station" condition, based on the information provided by Reiko Sasaki.

Time ticked by, and a suffocating atmosphere filled the air.

Finally, the roar of a train could be heard in the distance.

A subway train that looked no different from any other train slowly pulled into the station.

The car door opened, and the inside was empty, with only a few passengers sitting sparsely in different corners, all with their heads down, their faces obscured.

The lights inside the carriage seemed dimmer than on a normal train, with a slightly yellowish, old-fashioned hue.

This is the train.

Without hesitation, Yang Liu stepped into the carriage.

He chose a corner seat near the door, pulled his baseball cap down even lower, and closed his eyes, as if to rest.

In reality, he concealed all his aura, becoming like a rock blending into its environment, while simultaneously elevating his perception to the extreme, carefully "listening" to everything around him.

The doors closed, and the train slowly started moving.

At first, everything seemed normal. The train was moving smoothly, and outside the window were the familiar, dark tunnel walls.

But gradually, Yang Liu noticed something was wrong.

The train seemed to have increased its speed without anyone noticing, and its trajectory deviated from the normal subway line, entering a deeper and older tunnel.

The view outside the window was no longer the monotonous tunnel wall, but began to become distorted and blurry, like a rapidly reversing slideshow, bizarre and unrecognizable.

The temperature inside the carriage seemed to drop a few degrees, and a faint smell, like a mixture of rust and dust, filled the air.

The other "passengers" remained with their heads down, motionless, as if they were lifeless wax figures.

verified.

It seems I'm quite lucky; I've now embarked on the path to a "non-existent station."

Just then, Yang Liu's senses picked up another faint signal.

Not those "wax figure passengers" that are just background props, but a real, living, breathing human soul that is currently shrouded in immense fear...

The source of the fluctuation was from the other end of the carriage, and in that direction there seemed to be only a small figure in a school uniform, curled up in a seat.

It seems he's not the only unlucky guy who accidentally boarded this eerie train tonight.

Yang Liu did not act immediately, but silently memorized the location in her mind.

The most urgent task is to reach the legendary "Kisaragi Station".

The train continued its journey through the distorted spacetime, emitting a monotonous and unsettling clanging sound, like a prelude to a descent into the abyss. The light and shadows outside the window shifted unpredictably, while the carriage remained deathly silent.

Yang Liu closed her eyes slightly, and her breathing gradually became exactly the same as the other "people" in the carriage.
