Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

Come on... get in the car... get in the car...

I'll take you to... happiness... bliss...

"Ugh..."

A strong feeling of dizziness overwhelmed my brain.

At this moment, the ability to think was almost impossible to maintain; the body seemed to instinctively change direction and uncontrollably headed towards the carriage door.

Want to get into it.

I can't give a specific reason, I just want to get into that place.

It's as if once you enter that place, you'll find peace, you'll find happiness, you'll be able to stay forever... forever...

"We went the wrong way."

His body was grabbed, dragged, and flung into the air by a tremendous force.

Bang!

"Uh-"

The pain of colliding with the solid escalator awakens a hazy consciousness.

Hongxia's eyes widened. Before she could even stand up, she saw Xingge being thrown forward, and the two sisters immediately fell into a heap.

"Run uphill, quick! Don't look at that train, and don't make eye contact! If you see it, you'll lose consciousness, so absolutely do not look!"

Yamada Ryo, who was at the bottom, shouted and urged the power of the crimson domain to resist the patients who were closing in.

The waves of pain spreading from her head continued to torment the girl.

But she remained conscious, and even amidst this familiar pain, Yamada Ryo maintained a clear mind.

One could sense that emanating from that train was a corrupting and corrosive force that was extremely difficult to resist, far stronger than the flesh-and-blood monster hastily created by the [hospital].

This kind of mental pollution targeting victims is difficult to prevent. Even with the protection of the Crimson Domain's power, the brain can still be uncontrollably polluted, leading to various terrible situations such as mental confusion and thought manipulation.

Fortunately, Liang's spirit is much stronger now than before. So even when she was corrupted, she did not lose her composure. Instead, she quickly recovered and took Hongxia and Xingge, who were more affected, to a place relatively far away from the enemy, and helped them regain their senses.

Now that we've ensured our teammates' safety, it's time to take action.

"It's time for you to have some fun."

A crimson light surged forth.

Golden glimmers swirled and danced within them.

This was the first time Ryo had mobilized all his power from Gao Hai, and the target was all the monsters currently on the platform.

The girl herself was unsure of the extent to which such power could be achieved. It was the first time she had ever used power of this level. However, considering the intensity of the strange aura emanating from the creatures present, Ryo felt that there was no better solution than to go all out.

So she released the power, which was a mixture of blood and gold, from her hand.

boom!

The first blast wasn't loud; it was merely the sound of a patient being pierced through the body and exploding as they were blocked in the way.

Boom! ! !

The second explosion was deafening; it was the sound of this power being truly unleashed, the explosion of the crimson light tearing apart everything it touched, like the opening of a grand ceremony.

Rumble, rumble—! ! !

The third deafening explosion was accompanied by a burst of red and gold light that finally exploded completely in an instant. The raging fire wave instantly overturned the entire subway platform floor, and the intense wind pressure blew Yamada Ryo into the air, sending him flying even higher than where Nijika and Hoshika were. He crashed heavily onto the handrail of the escalator, seeing stars and nearly fainting on the spot.

"cold!"

Hongxia's shouts rang out from below. When Liang looked up, the other party had already arrived in front of her and, together with Xingge who was right behind her, helped her up.

The platform beneath the escalator was now completely obscured by flames and smoke, and nothing could be seen.

To be honest, Liang wasn't sure how effective her all-out attack would be. Although she had unleashed her full power, her current strength was quite average compared to high-level players, and she couldn't withstand much of the power of a high-level attack. Therefore, Liang was still somewhat uncertain about the effectiveness of her attack.

But now, I think I've pretty much figured it out.

"Cough cough... Waaah cough cough... Let's go, hurry up, get out of here quickly..."

Amidst the violent coughing, Yamada Ryo bowed his head and vomited fragments of flesh and internal organs. His breathing slowed down in a very short time, and his heart stopped beating at that moment.

"Hey, it's cold? What... what is this...?"

Hongxia, supporting Liang, stared wide-eyed. She sensed something was wrong from Liang's subtle reactions and immediately became anxious, wanting to do something for him. But before she could actually do anything, Hongxia noticed that Liang, who had been weak, suddenly recovered. He calmly dusted off his clothes as if nothing had happened and then walked forward.

"Let's go, we can't waste any more time, let's hurry!"

As Liang walked, she kept turning back to urge the two behind her. Hongxia was even more confused than before, and Xingge also looked completely clueless about what was going on. But Liang didn't have time to stop and explain, so she just pulled the two of them and told them to hurry up, leading them to run faster towards the top of the escalator.

"Huh?! What was that just now—"

"Is there anything else down there? Why is it suddenly running so fast?"

The two sisters, still confused, were asking questions. Although their bodies had instinctively followed Ryo and crashed along, judging from their expressions, they probably still had a lot of questions on their minds, but Ryo simply didn't have the time to answer them.

After all, she had already died once and was currently recovering from resurrection. The direct cause of her death was the monster's counterattack, or rather, the strange train's counterattack against Liang's release of divine power. This resulted in her being almost completely shredded internally despite no external damage, forcing her to use a resurrection opportunity to recover quickly. It was also the almost undefendable power released by that train that made Liang realize that her idea of ​​wiping out the enemy in one fell swoop was probably not going to work. Among the monsters in this area were powerful individuals that even the power provided by Mr. Gao was insufficient to deal with. She had to consider other options.

However, although the initial plan failed, Liang still managed to achieve some results.

【Kisaragi Station Cleaning Guidelines】

This is a fragmented, incomplete rulebook. It seems to originate from the records of a former survivor, originally hidden and not easily accessible. However, as Ryo unleashed her power to attack the strange creatures on the platform and was subsequently countered, her consciousness touched upon fragments of these distorted beings' memories, allowing her to see parts of the past and understand related information.

Regardless of how you joined or your reasons for joining the cleanup operation, please abide by these rules unless you want to die here.

[1. You must enter the carriage to clean only after the train has come to a complete stop and the engine has been turned off. If the train is still making noise after it has stopped, do not board the train at this time, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences.]

[2. Each cleaning operation must be completed within 10 minutes. You must not remain inside the carriage for more than 10 minutes continuously. If you violate this rule, we will not send anyone to attempt a rescue.]

3. No body may be taken out of the train car, no matter whose body you see. The train will not allow them to leave.

4. Never attack the train under any circumstances. It knows you are here and understands what you are doing. Don't provoke it; no one here will help you.

5. If you hear someone calling you from the direction of the train before you enter the carriage or after you leave the carriage, do not look at the train. Immediately turn your back to the train and do not try to look at it at any time today, as it will take you away.

6. If the carriage is fully loaded... (following content unreadable)

Although what we've seen is incomplete, the information we've confirmed so far is enough to confirm some things.

The true core of this eerie subway station is probably the train that has developed a certain degree of self-awareness. It is that life-devouring train that has created a strange resonance with the subway station, causing it to continuously mutate and trapping strange creatures that would not normally stay here, leading to the current chaotic situation of demons running rampant.

If you really want to escape from here, perhaps you need to find a way to safely board that train?

While she was thinking, Liang had already returned to the corridor. The escalator took a long time to go down, but the return speed was unexpectedly fast, and she didn't know why.

Then, as Hongxia and Xingge successfully returned, the trio ran away from the subway platform, intending to find a relatively safe place to rest and discuss their next move.

hum-

However, after running only a few steps, a gradually intensifying tremor caused the three of them to stop.

The direction of this tremor was... the ceiling?

Chapter 89: The Battle of the Immortals and the Anomaly Discovered by Liang.

What's going on?

The unexpected and violent explosion left the three people in the corridor stunned, and they were all at a loss for what to do.

However, soon, as a crack slowly spread from the ceiling, the ground began to shake, and the lights flickered, Yamada Ryo realized that what was happening outside was, in some ways, unimaginably exaggerated.

"Is there an earthquake?!"

Xingge gasped in surprise, instinctively shielding Hongxia from her predicament. Hongxia, in turn, pulled Liang along, and the three of them moved away from the crack in the ceiling. But before they could take more than a few steps, another buzzing tremor erupted, and more cracks began to spread across the walls and ceiling, forming a dense, crisscrossing network. For a moment, no matter which direction they looked, they couldn't find a relatively safe place to hide.

What on earth is going on? Is something happening somewhere outside? Or does this strange phenomenon occur in this area under certain conditions? What should they do to ensure their safety? How can they stop this phenomenon?

Hongxia pondered anxiously, but couldn't come up with a solution.

boom--

Liang turned her head to look back at the road they had come from amidst another tremor. She was considering whether to go back to the escalator they had escaped from and try returning to that platform to avoid the eerie phenomenon that made the entire corridor seem to be collapsing completely.

However, as soon as this idea came to mind, Liang had no choice but to give it up.

Sometime later, the passage they came out of had disappeared without a trace, and no matter how hard they searched, they could not find the escalator leading to Kisaragi Station.

Did they block the entrance immediately after we left the area? How could that happen? Wouldn't that mean there's nowhere to go?

Boom! ! !

Before they could reach an answer, another violent explosion rang out, and a section of the ceiling not far from the three of them finally collapsed, turning into ruins amidst the crashing sound of rubble.

Something was rushing past outside.

In the sudden flash of light, the first thing Liang saw was a shadow that quickly swept past through the broken hole in the ceiling.

A pink shadow.

"what?!"

Hongxia, whose eyesight was also excellent, uttered a somewhat puzzled sound, clearly having also seen the shadow's presence. Unlike Liang, although Hongxia couldn't clearly see who the shadow was, she vaguely sensed a sense of familiarity. She was quite certain that the unknown shadow was someone she knew, someone she was very close to.

"It looks like a city outside? We can escape from here?!"

Compared to Liang and Hongxia, Xingge, having received the least enhancement, didn't see the fleeting shadow at all. However, she noticed that above the collapsed ceiling, a city ablaze in the pouring rain was visible outside. Although she didn't know why the buildings outside appeared to be heavily damaged, as if two Supermen had fought there, the fact that she could see outside meant that there might be a way out, which filled Xingge with a sense of surprise and joy.

However, regardless of their individual thoughts, their ideas quickly ceased in the face of what was about to happen, transforming into pure shock.

boom! ! !

Amidst an even more violent explosion than before, large sections of the ceiling and walls were torn apart.

Fragments of rubble flew everywhere, forcing the three to dodge. Xingge pulled Liang and Hongxia towards an undamaged section of the corridor, shielding them from the flying debris, her back and cheek covered in cuts. She remained silent, preventing the two girls from noticing her predicament, and continued to lead them to safety.

Then, just after the three of them had moved a little distance away, Liang turned around and looked at the collapsed corridor area behind him. Before he could do anything, he saw a pink figure suddenly fall down, crashing into the ground and creating a shallow crater. Then, the figure stood up, holding a guitar in one hand.

"Pochi?!"

Amidst the smoke of battle, the figure who always seemed timid and cowardly in my memory now exuded a sense of determination and strength.

The crimson color danced like ribbons, swirling violently with each step the girl took. Flames appeared around her, unleashing astonishing explosions and raging fire in an instant, engulfing most of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Boom——

Amidst the violent explosion, Ryo saw Ichiri's figure fly up from the flames, passing by a blood-red figure.
