Ran Over By A Train
Taiwan — 6:20AM
Location: Some train station in Central Taiwan
I think the term “at a loss” can be used to describe my current situation
I got up early in the , followed the directions on the map, and arrived at a train station It wasn’t until now that I realized so was amiss
On the instruction paper, only the schedule and the name of the train ritten, the address of the school was nowhere to be found
After being fooled by this school in various ways, otten to print the address My reaction was a lot calined
At this ti, the number of people at the train station was actually very few Moreover, this station was in a relatively remote area, unlike the town center where ardless of the ti me
One of theranny akes up early every day and takes the train to the market Please do not ask me why I knehere she was headed to The answer is definitely not because I have a crush on her; the granny was living right next to , my mom would share a few pleasantries with her
Five ranny took one of the trains and left
The other person, as left behind, was so a traditional dress, which was very popular nowadays She looks like she was about the sae?
The person turned around and suddenly smiled at me
I immediately lowered my head This was definitely not because I’m shy I will never admit it even if I’m beaten to death
“Fellow student, are you going for the orientation?” The beautiful girl leaned over and I realized she spoke with a certain accent Was she a student who had just returned fro abroad?
“How did you know?!” This was my first reaction
The girl pointed at the brown paper bag I was holding, “I’ eyes looked like deep pools of water If one were to stare at it for a long tily…
As if she had noticed I was in a daze, the girl turned her gaze away, “In our school, we can actually opt to continue studying in their College division after graduating froh School division So please take care of me, junior”
[T/N: Kouhai would be the japanese counterpart of this word]
For a reen But when she turned back and smiled, her eyes were definitely black; the same color as mine
“hello, senior” Not really sure if it was due to quick response, but I immediately blurted this out
[T/N: Senpai would be the japanese counterpart of this word]
Senior was still s inthe Safety Manual already?”
Feeling uncertain as if it was an illusion, but her voice was getting entle, as if it was a pillow stuffed with feathers, giving off a fluffy feeling
“I’ve already read it” In fact, I’ve not read even a single word, but for some unknown reason, I didn’t dare to tell the truth under this senior’s gaze
Senior nodded and then she s The more I look at her smile, the weirder it felt
At this time, a train let out a loud whistle, however, it was not planning to stop It was just passing by
Senior suddenly stood up, “The train’s here Hurry up and follow et lost” She said while she hurriedly picked up her bag and rushed forward
‘Follow?’ I followed her in a daze
The train’s cowcatcher started out as a s out its deafening whistle The train was not planning to stop in this station
Staring ide eyes, I witnessed this happening right in front of my eyes
Senior held onto her bag tightly and jumped down from the platform onto the railway tracks Her pair of beautiful eyes was filled with questions, as if she was trying to ask why I didn’t jump with her
Then the train rushed by
The enormous air pressure caused my ears some pain
My legs were tre my pants This sho shaken I actually was Just a few seconds ago, the girl as talking to me, jumped down from the platform and was ran over by a train
However, I did not see any splattering of blood or pieces of flesh that were usually depicted inblank
In just a short moment, the train roared past, as if it was unaware it had just ran over someone
I was left all alone on the platfore to walk up and take a look at the tragedy below the platform I was also afraid that as soon as I take a look, my breakfast would immediately be ejected from my stomach
Soht in front of my eyes Nor the news on television or reading the newspaper about so run over by the train, and would occasionally say so stupid There were even ti our dinner while treating the news as a mental side dish
But this tiht in front of my eyes The kind of faintness and dizziness I felt was so a normal person would not be able to understand My entire head was filled with black and white iether
The thing which tone coe and had only used up two bars of battery up until now
“Hel-hello?” I subconsciously picked up the phone While my mind was still blank, I placed the phone next to irl had jumped off
“Why did you not follow and get hit by the train!?”
On the other end of the line, was an extre from the boy’s voice, he sounded not e was not the main point, but rather, the contents of what he spoke of
‘Follow and be hit by the train?’
My mouth widened and I was stunned for three seconds, “What… follow and be hit by the train?” At that ht the owner of this phone was some crazed maniac who lures others into suicide?
Once I thought of it, I felt goose bumps all overa hand would suddenly appear out of thin air and push me down from the platform
I’; I don’t want my life to end just yet!
“I overslept, so I asked a friend of uide you over, but you actually did not follow suit and jump!” At the other end of the line caue
‘Follow suit and jump?’
The second thought that crossed my mind was, could this phone be connected to hell?! The owner of the phone was a Death God, and I’ to a Death God ants ether with uide me to the underworld
Don’t say I’as had a Death God who dropped his notebook What’s so surprising about another one dropping his cell phone?
The person at the end of the line seems to be very impatient, as he did not even wait for , “Fine, I’ll come and pick you up You’d better stay put and don’t run around!” He said in a very co tone
With a “ka-chak” sound, the phone was disconnected, followed by beeping sound
I feltfrom the bottom of my feet spread all the way to my forehead
He said he is co I will only live my life up to this day?
Although I’ that if I’ll be so unlucky for the rest of et reborn sooner But God, it was nothing but complaints! It doesn’t really mean I want to die earlier Can’t you differentiate between complaints and honest wishes?
The platform was totally empty; I was the only one there The wind blew past and a few pieces of garbage rolled past my feet
I’ to die soon, but I still don’t knohat to write in my will
I wasn’t really sure how long I stood there doing nothing but holding onto the phone, until I heard a very soft sound co from behind
So the saying “when one’s spirit is in extrereatest potential” was true It only took me a few tenths of a second to turn around I turned so quickly that even the other person was stunned for a moment As soon as the other person snapped out of his trance, it was my turn to be stunned
In fact, in Taiwan, it was not strange to see foreigners Norroups of the past I’ve seen so many that I’ood looking foreigner before
Although I said he is a foreigner, his facial features were that of an Asian
Long silver hair reaching down to his waist, and just beside his forehead was a lock of hair that seemed to have been dyed in blood-red It was obvious this person came here in a rush His silky soft hair was casually tied up at the back of his head with a rubber band usually used to tie up lunch boxes
Red eyes, si to touch it to see if they’re real
His oriental features were much ave off a very cold feeling, especially when he was glaring at ives off, “if looks could kill” type of person
His skin was very pale, so pale that it was similar to a corpse’s Especially if it’s co which covered his whole body, e
It’s a little frightening
