It's a world devoid of any life.

When Zhang Heng saw it for the first time, he thought he was back on the moon, because there was nothing here except the potted surface, and there was a dead silence and desolation everywhere on the island.

Both the soil and the rocks were dark red, as if someone had deliberately painted them with fuel as a prank, and when Zhang Heng tried to cut off a piece of rock with the [Tibetan Sheath], he found that there was actually a red viscous liquid flowing out of the underside of the incision, as if it was blood flowing in the veins.

There are many of these red rocks on the island, and they are scattered all over the place, and the red pebbles are paved around these rocks, but these pebbles are generally larger than ordinary pebbles, and they look fuller, and they actually look more like ...... Egg.

Zhang Heng picked up one and knocked it on the red rock, but the corner of the rock fell off, but the egg-shaped pebble was unharmed.

So Zhang Heng used the [Tibetan Sheath] again, but this time it took a little effort to cut open the red pebble, revealing the contents inside.

It was a snake embryo that had just formed, and it was still alive, at least it was still alive when Zhang Heng just cut the pebbles, and its body twisted a few times, but it obviously hadn't grown to the extent that it could break out of its shell, because it was released in advance and could no longer continue to draw nutrients from the egg liquid, struggling on the ground, as if it wanted to crawl back into the red pebbles that were cut, but the next moment it was stepped on by Zhang Heng's tail.

Zhang Heng wanted to see what the little snake in the red pebble was capable of, but he saw that the little snake was struggling and slower, and after less than a minute, it lay on the ground and never moved again.

After that, Zhang Heng tried to kick the little snake with his toes, but the latter did not have any reaction, considering its age, the possibility of suspended animation was basically ruled out, so Zhang Heng stabbed the tip of the [Tibetan sheath] into the belly of the little snake, and from there all the way up, until the roof of the jaw was opened.

Zhang Heng squatted down and examined the corpse of the little snake, and found that it seemed to be no different from ordinary snakes in terms of physiology except for living in the extremely hard red pebble.

This is good news for Zhang Heng.

Because there are a lot of red rocks on this island, and there are countless red pebbles near the rocks, if there is a small snake hidden in each pebble, and these small snakes have any special means of attack, then when they break out of their shells, even if Zhang Heng has T-148 in his hand, I am afraid that there is only one way left to jump into the sea and escape.

But at least now it seems that this worry will not happen, and the dead little snake also made Zhang Heng think of something, he closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then inserted the [Tibetan sheath] back into his waist, and continued to walk towards the center of the island.

Zhang Heng had a hunch that something was waiting for him there.

…………

Inside the station.

Although Fan Meinan had no choice but to agree to Zhang Heng's request to stay on it, she didn't plan to just sit and wait, even if this station is not the lair of Jörmungard, it is also an important place for its activities, Fan Meinan still hopes to find some clues to deal with Jörmungard.

The gods and creatures that appear in Norse mythology are probably the most human-like of all mythology, almost all of them have a variety of emotions, jealousy and anger, and at the same time have weaknesses like humans, and some seemingly powerful gods or creatures even have the weakness of instant death.

Perhaps the most famous of these is Badr who was killed by mistletoe, and Badr, the god of light, had a dream one day that he was dead, and his mother was so frightened when she found out that she asked all things in the world to swear to her that they would never harm Badr, and that weapons, stones, and even diseases and flowers had sworn to her.

Only the parasitism was too weak and was not required to swear, and this matter was later known by Loki, so Loki, who was not big enough, picked up the dark god Hoddle, who had a contradiction with the god of light, and threw a mistletoe at Badr, and finally the dignified god of light Badr was killed by the mistletoe through his chest, and Loki was expelled and punished by the gods because of this incident, and finally became a complete enmity with the gods, but these are all later words.

In conclusion, the story seems to suggest that the Norse gods each had their own Achilles' heel.

Fan Meinan recalled the story related to Jörmungandr in Norse mythology, and wanted to find out the latter's weaknesses from it, while checking the station, Ma Lu on the side also wanted to help, but was politely rejected by Fan Meinan, mainly because the latter didn't know what to check even if he joined in.

However, Fan Meinan also found some work for Ma Lu, who was really idle and had nothing to do, and asked him to rummage through those snake corpses and try to see if he could find a long enough snake corpse to crawl down the pit.

So the two began to go their separate ways.

Ma Lu rummaged through the snake corpses on the second floor, and Fan Meinan returned to the first floor, she held a flashlight, and swept every corner of the station little by little, not letting go of any clues, and as a result, her dragnet search really had an effect.

Fan Meinan found a moment mark behind a load-bearing column, at first she didn't pay much attention to the moment mark, thinking that it was just the normal wear and tear during the construction process, but when she looked at it a second time, Fan Meinan noticed the pattern contained in those nicks.

These nicks were not caused by accidental bumps, but were deliberately left by someone, and Fan Meinan tried to wipe off the dust accumulated on the pillar, revealing a line of crooked handwriting underneath.

- It's there, dangerous!

Where is it, dangerous?

Fan Meinan didn't expect to see the handwriting left by other people here, considering that this place has been abandoned for more than 50 years and completely reduced to a snake's nest, this line of words can probably be traced back to more than 50 years ago, when this subway line was still under construction.

Who could it be, some construction worker back then? Fan Meinan remembered the missing worker in Ma Lu's story, and wondered if this line would be left by him, as a warning to future generations.

But this sentence is a little too vague, and it doesn't know who it is referring to, Jörmungad, and it doesn't know where it is in the second half of the sentence.

But Fan Meinan did read from this sentence that someone had been here before them, and the word danger at the end was also engraved very hard, and he could see the nervousness in the heart of the person who left this sentence at that time, as if something terrible was about to befall him.

And just as Fan Meinan was squatting there studying the handwriting on the load-bearing column, in the tunnel on the other side of the platform, a pair of eyes were quietly looking at her.
