Chapter 003: A World That Could Break Down at Any Moment
Unfortunately, this sense of life cannot be experienced at all in Fangli.
However, the situations of the two individuals are completely different
The expressions of the two warriors momentarily stiffened, and then their gazes towards the square became somewhat fierce.
In such circumstances, what feelings might an ordinary person have
In such a world, everything could collapse at any moment, and all things seem to come to an end right before one's eyes, while one feels as if they too might disintegrate alongside the world's ruin in the next second. Just a moment's thought can drive a person to madness
It is easy to imagine the extent of the stimulation that the term "Kabaneri" mentioned by Fang Li provided to these warriors
The coal pit is slowly burning with flames, and above it hangs an iron pot, boiling water inside, fully embodying the essence of life during the Edo period
No wonder that Tohsaka Shiki and Araya Shiki cannot stand this situation
After a period of adaptation and guidance from others, Tohsaka Shiki is able to open the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception at will through sheer willpower
A monster like this, attempting to resist with nothing more than an utterly ordinary dagger, is nothing short of a delusion, isn't it
It doesn't matter
What are you, an outsider, still doing here
Kabané
Um ... ...
However, at that moment, a kind of monster appeared
Two men dressed in samurai attire, with swords at their waists, entered through the door.
A single sentence changed the atmosphere around us
Of course, it is merely the most basic form of identity, such as being a resident of a certain city or an employee of a certain company
By that time, Fang Li will also face a group of man-eating monsters and fight against those monsters
However, their hearts are protected by a layer of membrane
There is a ceiling
A person standing at the edge of a cliff experiences immense fear, let alone standing in a world that could fall apart at any moment
Only when confronted with this concept does Fang Li find himself unable to generate any emotions
Yet the two warriors seemed to see nothing at all, staring blankly into the square.
In such circumstances, these nearly immortal monsters, driven by an astonishing ferocity and a thirst for blood, launch attacks on the entire human world
Once bitten by them, one will become infected and gradually transform into the same kind of monster
That appearance only evokes a certain condition
Only two individuals possess the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception: Shiki Tohno and Arcueid Brunestud
With such a thought, Fang Li slightly closed his eyes, and only one idea lingered in his mind
Is it really true that one cannot die? Let me confirm this with my own eyes...
by lines resembling cracks, akin to a child's doodles
There is on the ground
There is only one reason for this
Thus, Fang Li began to search through the memories of this world stored in his mind
In a word, it refers to the existence of what is commonly known as zombies or the undead.
Why aren't you hurrying to guard the city gate? Don't you want to eat?
It is evident that today's task is to guard the city gate
Interestingly, I feel absolutely nothing
That feeling is truly quite uncomfortable, almost as if I have spun in place for one hundred circles, leaving my mind in a state of chaos
Because, if such an event were to truly occur, it would merely signify the end of the world itself, that is, death
In order to ensure that the main god's messenger does not appear too abrupt when entering the instance world, the main god space will prepare a basic identity for the main god's messenger upon their entry into the instance world
This is a world set against the backdrop of an island nation after the 1960s of the eighteenth century
I did not expect that you still have time to slack off here
Even if the world perishes, it remains the same
However, looking at such a broken world that seems to be pieced together haphazardly is indeed quite unsettling
Tohno Shiki, on the other hand, has no choice but to rely on an item known as the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to suppress the activation of the Mystic Eyes.
Their physical abilities are extraordinarily remarkable, and their resilience is exceptional; as long as their heart is not pierced, they are essentially invulnerable to death
Fang Li immediately tensed his body
It seems that my Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are inherently closer in nature to those of Shiki Ryougi, unlike those of Arcueid Brunestud
In order to combat the threat of the Kabane, the shogunate that rules the island nation constructed iron fortresses known as "stations" in various locations to protect the remaining human population
That is the kind of hysteria that only those who have been driven to the edge of a cliff, facing a desperate situation, would exhibit
Without needing to look, Fang Li also knows that the pair of ice-blue magical eyes symbolizing "death" has disappeared, and his own eyes have returned to their original dark color
Currently, the place where Fang Li is located is the Xianjin Post mentioned in Main Quest 2, which is also the fortress that appears at the beginning of the original work
Because many who have read the original work know that shortly after the beginning of the plot, the station of Senkin will soon be invaded by the Kabane, leading to its fall
At this moment, within Fang's perspective, the entire world appears to be a collection of fragmented and inferior products, as if it could break down at any moment
The house appears to be in the Japanese style, and although it does not have tatami mats, it features wooden planks laid on the floor
"Are we guarding the city gate?" Fang Li raised his eyebrows slightly and after a moment of silence, said: "In other words, is it possible that we will encounter the Kabane?"
It was not until this moment that Fang Li realized his location, an extremely old house
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress
Since it is a gifted skill, I should be able to accomplish it, right
When this feeling finally fades away, Fang Li feels as if he has just fallen from mid-air, gaining a sense of being grounded. Then, his spinning and distorted vision gradually begins to recover little by little

Death
Humans then referred to these monsters as Kabane
A world that could collapse at any time and in any place
However
Very simple
Fang Li let out a muffled groan, feeling somewhat nauseous.
The results are gratifying
Is it an immortal monster
Just as this thought arose in Fang Li's mind, the door was suddenly pushed open
However, this type of monster is different from ordinary zombies and ghouls
Both the burning coal pit and the iron pot filled with boiling hot water are present
There is on the wall
Close these eyes
Just imagine that you are in an elevator hanging hundreds of meters above the ground, and this elevator is gradually collapsing under your gaze, causing your footing to diminish little by little, with the risk of falling at any moment. Now, amplify this situation by thousands or even tens of thousands of times.
A bloodthirsty monster that has transformed from a human who should have already died, suddenly resurrected and turned violent
That layer of membrane, as hard as steel, is not something that can be easily penetrated
Thinking of this, Fang touched the dagger at his waist, and a glimmer of icy blue light flashed in his pair of dark eyes
In the middle of the wooden board, there is a small coal bed
When the information about the replica world was fully introduced, Fang Li felt as if he had suddenly been thrown into the air, his vision becoming a swirling distortion
This time, the identity prepared for Fang Li by the Divine Space is that of an outsider who has wandered to this place. Due to the inability to ensure basic sustenance, he has been requisitioned by the warriors to work in exchange for three meals a day
When Fang Li opened his eyes once again, the world before him had returned to its original state
In this era, the industrial revolution has begun and is gradually influencing the world, prompting countries around the globe to embark on modern transformations under the waves of the industrial revolution
What Fang Li is currently doing is the same as what the two rituals are doing
In Fangli, one is currently "living" in such a dilapidated world, as if merely touching those lines lightly would cause this world to fall apart
Such an illusion is enough to torment a normal person into madness
After all, who would want to live in a broken world that can fall apart with just a touch
Before I could even be surprised, a wave of dizziness struck me, violently tossing me about with its disorienting force
However, this will not make Fang feel at ease in the slightest
There are also perceptual deficiencies in terms of life in Fang Li's case
That is, in the area visible to Fang, everything is divided by crooked lines.
