Quickly! Because he doesn’t know how much longer he can stay here!
He might be going back soon!
He must hurry ho before that!
His last mory in this world is of sleeping at ho.
At that ti, he had been accepted for graduate studies but school had not yet started, so he spent almost every day at ho.
Back then, he found his parents’ nagging really annoying.
But now, all he can think about is ho.
His father, his mother, and his little sister who is still in high school!
For the first ti, he jumped the subway turnstile, stepping over the barrier to enter the station.
He had no choice, for he didn’t have any card to swipe right now.
...Speaking of which, the caras shouldn’t be able to capture him, right?
As he rushed down, a train happened to arrive.
The doors opened wide, and countless office workers poured out.
Xu Xin ignored them completely, walked right through them, and entered the train.
Then, he stood casually in the subway car.
Because this station is surrounded by office buildings, it’s a peak ti for people to get off at this station, so the subway is now almost empty.
He randomly picked a spot in the corner to sit down, and the train started moving toward his ho.
A long fifteen minutes.
It truly felt like an eternity.
Xu Xin feared that he might disappear the next second, and was also sowhat afraid of seeing the gloom at ho due to his disappearance.
But he must go ho!
He cald his mind a bit, and since he couldn’t do anything else now, he began to ponder over the current situation.
Right now, he was certain, he indeed ca back.
The only difference in this world for him is that others can’t see him or touch him anymore.
Yet he is able to touch the buildings and moving trains of this world.
This is truly a strange phenonon.
It appears that the problem isn’t with this world, but with himself.
It must have sothing to do with the Crystal Palace!
...
Soon, the subway arrived at his stop, he dashed out and ran towards ho.
Familiar streets, familiar neighborhood entrance, familiar security guard.
Except, this ti he couldn’t greet the security guard.
Arriving at the door, Xu Xin tried to use facial recognition to open it.
Unfortunately, his face didn’t appear in the facial recognition system, so it couldn’t be recognized, and the door naturally didn’t open.
As expected, the caras couldn’t capture him.
He was like an invisible existence to this world!
Luckily, there were many people coming out of the community at this ti, when others opened the door, he sneaked in directly.
Familiar building, familiar greenery, he even encountered familiar faces.
The neighbor across the hall, who was getting ready for work.
Watching the neighbor walk past him, he felt an urge to cry.
After experiencing so much life and death in that world, everything here touched him.
Even though he hadn’t spoken much with the neighbor, at most just greeted in the elevator to avoid awkwardness by chatting about the weather, but seeing this face now... it felt so intimate!
The neighbor hadn’t changed, surely his ho hasn’t changed either!
Arriving downstairs, the unit door was constantly open, he walked through it and pressed the elevator button.
The elevator door opened, he entered and pressed the button for his floor.
The flow of these actions was unimpeded.
Wonder if the watchful building managent seeing the elevator open automatically and the floor lighting up will think the elevator is malfunctioning.
The elevator ascended, stopped, and the door opened.
Xu Xin stepped out of the elevator, glanced at the familiar door to the right, he was too excited to speak.
He was even more excited than facing life and death in that other world!
However, he soon realized a problem.
"...I..."
Xu Xin helplessly discovered that he couldn’t open the door.
Judging by the situation on the street, today must be a weekday, so his parents should have gone to work.
As for his sister, she was even less likely to be ho.
She was a high schooler, although just in sophomore year, her studies were extrely busy, and she lived in school dormitories.
Even when Xu Xin was ho, he would only see her back on Sundays, for the rest of the week she stayed at school.
Therefore, normally there wouldn’t be anyone at ho at this ti.
Judging by the amount of ti he had been missing, even if his family had been worried sick, they couldn’t possibly have failed to resu normal life by now.
...So, rushing ho like this seems... rather pointless?
Waiting at the door, what a...
Just then, a familiar voice ca from within, startling him greatly.
"Xu Ying, open the door for !"
Soone!
It was his mother’s voice!
Mom!
Tears welled up in his eyes.
Ho! There’s soone at ho!
"Yingying’s ho too..." Xu Xin, although curious why the two were still at ho, was nevertheless happy.
Xu Ying is his sister.
After she was about to start high school, she beca very rebellious, sowhat annoying, during the ti Xu Xin was ho, he often quarreled with her, this continued till he left.
"No! I won’t!" As expected, a slightly rebellious voice ca through the door.
He used to be tired of hearing this voice, but now it made him smile unconsciously.
