Volume 2: Chapter 5: The Intersecting Men (Revelation)
1
When I opened my eyes again and faced the world again. The chill was coming, and it wasn't a good sign for me, who had just been hit by a heat current.
Am I dead?
What the hell was the cold feeling, my eyes were back in focus—ahhhh
The left hand is close to the left eye and there is a light in the palm of the hand. This red light seems to be reflected and glowing...... It's my eyes.
I was lying in a ruin of steel.
It appears to be a construction site, with a building under construction in front of it, and the walls of the building are covered with glass.
My eyes...... It's glowing red, and only the left eye is glowing.
Taking advantage of the faint mirror effect of glass, I discovered this fact.
I tried to get up and get out of this ruin of steel - huh?
Why can't I move, my left foot seems to be stuck in something.
No, my body seems to be stuck.
But I didn't feel uncomfortable, but I felt like I was one with the scrap of steel.
?!
I looked at my body and was even more dumbfounded, I didn't feel wrong.
I can interpret the red light of the eyes as dazzling.
But the physical mutation is a sure fact.
[My body, starting from my chest and ending on the soles of my feet, turned to steel. 】
"Uh-huh!"
I exclaimed, struggling hard.
Bang Dong –
Knock Knock Knock –
Suddenly, I heard the sound of steel bumping, followed by a thud the pile of steel collapsing.
"Uh-huh-"
It turned out to be hollow, and my struggle caused the steel pile to be scattered.
"Hmm——————"
I'm in free fall and it's a terrible feeling of weightlessness.
But, what's even worse......
"Hmm!"
There is an erected rebar under the field of view.
The steel bar passed through my chest, and I slammed it face to the ground, and in a moment there was the sound of the steel hitting the ground, thump, thump—the echo sandwiched in the sound, along with the sound of broken electronics. Smashing a baseball bat into a computer that is still plugged in will probably make this sound.
“……”
I didn't lose consciousness, it's extremely incredible, my body was pierced by steel bars, and it should have been turned into a lamb skewer long ago.
I manipulated my 'steel body' with my brain, and found that I could still move.
I held the ground with my hands and held it up like I was doing push-ups.
Zizizi——
Again, this kind of electronic equipment damages the general sound of electric current.
I looked into my stomach and saw that the industrial steel had gone through my abdomen, so I couldn't stand up.
I stretched out my right hand, grabbed the root of the rebar, and used all my strength, well-
The root of the rebar broke in response.
“……?!”
How much strength do I have? It can't be- huh?!
At this time, I realized that my right hand, which was still in the flesh, had also become an arm of steel.
What the hell is going on.
As far back as I can remember, I was in the fire not long ago. Why is it here, and where is it? What's going on with my body.
I stood up and thought back to what had happened not long ago.
There was a fire in the high-rise apartment where I lived, I was trapped in the room, I rushed out of my breath when I heard the cry, and ran to the safety exit with Xiao Ai in my arms, and then met a tall figure, he set fire to seal the exit, and I fainted from the flames on all sides.
That's right, then why did I wake up in this place.
The glass reflects what I look like now, except for the head and left arm and body, everything else is made of mechanical steel, and a large hole has been pierced in the abdomen, which occasionally releases electricity outward, and it looks like a complete robot monster. Not only that, but my left eye glowed a horrible red.
Half-human, half-machine.
That's the best way to describe it.
I controlled the 'mechanical body' to move to a corner.
There was standing water on the ground, and the steel part of my body didn't feel the cold, but I could still feel it on my left arm and face.
Here, is it the basement?
It was very empty, and the ground was even mossy and looked like it was often waterlogged.
I crouched in the corner, and then—
“……”
When I relaxed, I witnessed something even more magical.
The body, which was originally made of machinery, slowly turned back into a physical body.
Like a flame burning paper, the flame travels irregularly across the entire sheet, turning black wherever it passes.
My body grew out of human skin out of thin air, covering the core of steel.
After a few minutes, I was back to being a 'normal' human.

I arrived at the train station early.
It only takes an hour to get from Minatowan to Sensugi, which is less than the time it takes many commuting company employees to commute to work, and you can basically get to the station by playing with your mobile phone in the car.
The person who came to pick up the station was a tall woman, wearing high heels, holding a sign that said 'Welcome to the students of Gangwan City No. 2 Middle School', but she did not look like a teacher. However, there is no need to pursue such a thing.
"My sister looks so young, is she a teacher?"
But the wind chimes behind me didn't seem to think so, so I simply asked.
"Ah...... I'm not a teacher, I'm a student at Qianshan University of Economics. ”
She replied awkwardly.
University student? Or the University of Economics? It's unexpected.
"There is also a cooperation ...... between our university and Qianshan No. 2 Middle School"
She began to explain, but I didn't listen very closely.
After observation, it seems that nearly 20 people from our school participated in this event.
"My sister is so beautiful, can you tell me your name?"
The wind chimes were still on her lap.
"Sunset rain...... The last name is Huang. What about you, little sister? ”
"Ah, my name is Su Feng Chime, the wind chime that jingles the bell."
……
Forget it, don't bother them.
I walked away with my bag on my back.
"This boy's name is Lin Benxu."
Unexpectedly, the wind chimes led the conversation to me.
“…… Hello. ”
I could only say hello to her awkwardly.
"Ah...... Lin Benxu? Is it your boyfriend? ”
Xiyu asked the wind chime inappropriately.
Yes, college students.
I admired.
I looked at the time, it was only eight o'clock, and if I remember correctly, the opening ceremony of the Games was half past nine. It is said that Qianshan No. 2 Middle School is quite close to the new station, the distance is less than three kilometers, and there is more than enough time to pass from here, and you can also have breakfast in the school and read a book for a leisurely time.
Just as I was thinking this, I was stunned as I walked out of the station.
"So much...... Cart? ”
According to the street signs, this road is called Xinzhan East Road, and the road is full of traffic and congestion.
“……”
The sound of horns and the sound of pedestrians calling one after another, a bustling downtown scene.
It's a big city.
"So many people...... How are we going. ”
I've never been to a place with so many people, and it's hard to see so many people in Harbor City unless it's a summer festival.
Harbor City is famous for its summer festivals, which take place every year in early August and last for four days, during the hottest months, and the city's excellent beaches attract many tourists. Not only the city, but also many tourists from other cities and provinces also come here.
"We can take the subway."
Sister Xiyu said leisurely.
Subway.
And this kind of thing.
After staying in Harbor City for a long time, I almost forgot about these modern equipment.
Obviously, the headphones have evolved to the point of 'man-machine integration', why did I forget the already mature subway system.
The land conditions in Gangwan City are not suitable for the development of rail transit, and there are not many people, so the subway plan has been shelved.
It's a big city.
Following Sister Xiyu, our school group 1, 2, 3, 4...... Eighteen people took the downward elevator and walked into the subway station.
